It wasn’t only celebrity dads in the limelight this week. Chris Mau, a father of four in New Hampshire, just wanted to change his kid’s diaper – and he had to do it on the nasty public men’s room floor, because the men’s room didn’t have a changing table.

This is important for you because caring for kids is so many that not only James Bond does it – big tough gorillas do it too!
The most popular article on The Pulse this week was Making Sense of Different Types of Contractions, including those that occur before, during, and after childbirth. Read it here.
