Is this cooler than my children's school picture keychain?

Filed under: Gear, Pregnancy and Birth, Moms, Dads, Celebrity style

My answer is yes.

Don't get me wrong, I also keep about 10 pictures of Sean and Will in my wallet and agenda and I have recorded my sons' voices and use it as my cell phone's ring tone. This is how much I am proud to be a mother. But this necklace from Mommy Tags is now on top of my birthday wish list.

Mommy Tags personalized jewelry is created from silver that has been recycled from film. Each tag is unique and handcrafted by work at home moms. You can purchase necklaces with your children's name and birth date, but also bracelets and key chains for Dads and children over the age of 4.

Prices US 45$ - 95$ and Mommy Tags ships internationally.

How does a pregnancy test work?

A. All pregnancy tests are based on the presence of a hormone, human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), that the pregnant woman produces after conception. The first self tests of the 1970's used ring, or "tube agglutination," tests consisting of pre-packaged red blood cells to detect HCG in urine. A ring at the bottom of the tube indicated a positive result. Sensitive to movement and human error, ring pregnancy tests are now rarely used.

Today's brands, such as e.p.t. and First Response, contain monoclonal antibodies that detect minute traces of HCG. These antibodies are molecules coated with a substance that bonds to the pregnancy hormone, if it's present, to produce either a positive or negative result. (Each test manufacturer uses a different "trade secret" chemical formula for the bonding substance.) The user collects urine and combines it with the antibodies provided in the package. The pregnancy test is timed, and a color change indicates the result.
