I read that they definitely had a private box, so I'm sure baby was very comfy. I went to a Kings game once and the people in front of us had a newborn. I couldn't believe it! My friend and I (it was a girls' night out, so just us moms) were kind of upset about it cause it was incredibly noisy. I know my son could not have tolerated that environment at that age and I would never have taken him.

My best friend had a less than 2-week old son and we went to see the Rangers (Texas Rangers) play because it was the last game they were going to play in their old stadium...people were amazed but the funny thing is the doctor told us it was the best thing we could have done because he had jaundice and the sunshine cleared him right up (and he was in a covered infant carrier by the way). He was fine with the crowd noise - he never was a picky baby. I had my daughter everywhere after she was born and she survived...now if I only survive her teenage years. I guess it just never occurred to me that she wasn't supposed to go with me wherever I went.

Every kid is different, Roxip. My son wailed when they accidentally let the door slam when they were carrying him into the nursery in the hospital. One time when he was falling asleep on my husband's chest, DH gasped at something on TV. Baby wailed like we'd slapped him. Poor guy was just very sensitive. He was just diagnosed a few months ago with Sensory Processing Disorder, so now we know why he's so very sensitive. He cries easily too. We tried to take him to candlelight service on Christmas Eve at my mom's church when he was just a few months old, and he cried at that too. Some kids can't stand to be out of the routine. Just the way their brains are wired.

We took oldest DS with us everywhere we went and he seemed to love it. The more noise there was the happier he seemed. Youngest DS a totally different story , very touch me not and he needed peace and calm at all times. They are so totally different.

I'm grateful that my daughter was one of those chidren that once she was asleep didn't wake up for anything...I used to run the vacumn cleaner in her room just so she would sleep through any noise. Unfortunately now at 12 she can easily sleep through anything - her alarm, her cellphone, the dog barking to be let out, her mother yelling at her to wake up...LOL!

Used to drive me crazy when people would say that we needed to acclimate him to noise. Doesn't work that way. Some children are just more sensitive to stimuli than others. Vacuum cleaner would wake my baby up, Roxip, then I'd be kicking myself for waking him when I could've had a few minutes to myself.

The thing I found out really quick is that babies have their own personalities from day 1 and there is not a lot that is going to change them from what they are destined to become. I had certain expectations for my daughter that I just KNEW was going to happen...and since the day that girl was born she has definitely been her own person...much better than if she had followed the path I THOUGHT she was going to follow...LOL!

Isn't that the truth, and so many people refuse to believe a new mom when she says that.

Roxi - please pass along any hints and tips to surviving these teenage years!! My DD (13 now) certainly had her own strong personality from day 1 - and I am so struggling to give her opportunities to become all she can become - for the good of all!! very stressful! oh the drama of girls!! BTW - I hope my post didnt come across as judgemental - I certainly agree that each mom knows, and each kid is so different! (I was just thinking and my own memory popped up!)

Reader, you and I are in the same boat. My DD will be 13 next month...I think the first thing is lost of prayer...LOL!

Ah the teenage years. They are tough and I have sons, so I can't even begin to imagine how it is with girls. I agree with Roxip, lots of prayer. Also lots of hugs and I love you, being positive and this is what I expect of you. I was raised in a very negative household and was determined not to repeat any of that with my kids.

(lost of prayer - lets find the prayers Roxi ;) ) Mapl - I too have 2 boys - both Eagle Scouts, both had challenges... dd is a whole different story - but you are all correct - Prayers, hugs, and being positive! Yesterday was a HUGE - HUGE challenge (tomorrow the teachers are hauling dh and I in - her biggest problem? SHE READS too much! she decides if its "worthy" of "her attention" she may do the homework, but wont turn it in! control issues.. ) so I did not "punish" her - I'm going with the positive - and praises... Lord help us! Kendra was on one of those magazine shows, and she just basically said what was reported in People magazine (which was part of her twitter) I say hormones and an 8 week old baby contributed to the heightened emotions of a loss (didnt she leave right after Hank lost the ball from the onside kick?) I think it was a combination - and I think the papparzzi just sent her over the edge - who wants that? and I also saw where some stockholders want to file a class action lawsuit against Hugh Hefner - saying he doesnt want to sell, or care about the "best interest of the company" Hugh just wants to maintain his lifestyle... (thats paraphrased I also think they mentioned that the stock was worth less than a copy of Playboy magazine)

Reader I used to get in trouble for reading too much also. Teacher would give us a reading assignment and I would already have the whole book read. I was so bored with what we were reading in school cause I was reading adult books at home. Your DD sounds like my youngest DS. We would spend hours at night pushing him to do his homework checking it over and then he wouldn't turn it in. WHY???? Because he didn't feel like it. AAAAAKKKKK! I kinda wonder if Hef is getting senile or he just doesn't care.

Anyone else watch the season premier? I can relate to Kendra's frustration about the baby weight. I remember looking at my belly the day after giving birth and wondering, "Why is that still here?" Their baby is adorable, and they really are a cute couple. They just seem so down to earth. Their first night out without the baby was sweet. Their babysitter seems like a keeper. Not really any drama on this show. It's really sweet though.

My DVR recorded the wrong thing: it seemed to be about some bogus PR firm (or something) created by a creepy friend of Kim Kardashian's. I seem to remember seeing him on her show. Maybe the guy was Khloe's friend; I can't remember. I'm trying to tape the Kendra season opener later in the week. I liked Kendra least of Hef's three girlfriends when I watched "Girls Next Door," but I really like her now.

I just love Kendra. I like the fact that she seems to be basically "what you see is what you get." And she and Hank truly seem to love one another...wouldn't it be great if this is one of those Hollywood, reality marriages that really lasts?

I never liked The Girls Next Door (HH is just so skeevy!), but I really enjoy this show. They're so sweet together. I think my hormones must be sympathetic to Kendra, cause it makes me cry every week! And how sweet was Hank when Kendra was crying that she didn't feel beautiful and she was afraid he wouldn't be attracted to her anymore? He just seems like an awesome, down-to-earth guy. Love him!

We may all be fools, but I really feel they have genuine feelings for each other. Sure nothing like the feeling I get watching the Kardashian's latest marriage.

I agree, Connie! Well, who knows how time will treat them? Most of us start out all lovey dovey in the beginnng. Some people are able to maintain that, other times it slips away. I wish them the best! Hank does seem very grounded, though, and aren't both sets of parents still married? Not a judgement by any means--been divorced myself--but I think when kids grow up watching their parents go thru all the struggles life can throw at them and stick it out, it teaches them that marriage is work, not just the "lovey dovey" stuff. NWIM?

It's very refreshing to watch Kendra and Hank. He seems to be the genuine article. I'm happy for them both.

Babyjaxmom, Kendra's dad left them when she was young. Grandparents stepped in though and helped her mom quite a bit. I was glad last night's show explained the mess about the super bowl, both on kendra's and Hank's part.

I was shocked and impressed that Kendra didn't try to cover up her baby fat. Most celebs, after having a baby, go on a talk shows or do publicity wearing multiple layers of spanks and when asked how they lost weight so quickly they say it just comes off. Hank seems to be a great hubby. He was feeding the baby and Kendra was getting ready in the bathroom and he walked in after her and she said just take care of the baby and he said but I need to take care of you too you very sad...what a great guy. I've seen a handful (if that) of Girls Nextdoor but happened upon Kendra over the weekend- the episode where she had her girlfriends come visit. I'm planning on watching more of this show they seem rather sweet. Some kids might be OK with loud noises but my thought is that if you bring a kid to a sporting event or dinner in the evening you better make sure the baby doesn't disturb ME by crying. I love kids but often wonder what parents are thinking by bringing their kids certain places....thinking about it-a sporting event probably wouldn't bother me too much unless the kid was crying non stop or running back and forth.

I think Kendra made tremendous progress once she started with the personal trainer. She only had about 10 days or so from the time she resumed working out until the bikini shoot. I'm not criticizing because she looked great, but did it seem like the photos for the cover of the OK magazine might have been retouched a bit? It seemed to me, from the brief glimpse I got, that her waist and thighs were slimmed for the cover and that she had a bulge at the bikini bottom that was removed for the finished photo. I'm not picking, because the last time I was in a bikini was when I was in my 20s. Just askin'.

I haven't seen this show except one time when Kendra was trying on a wedding dress, Hank came in and saw her in it and the look on his face . . . no question it's the real deal for him. He really loves her.

Lilfair, I think Kendra felt comfortable having the baby with her at the stadium because they had a private box. They weren't out in the chaos of the stadium. When the game was over and they left the box to go back to the bus, that's when they got caught up in the crowd and things got scary. I would've been hanging out in that box till the crowd dispersed before bringing the baby out. I don't blame her for crying. It was scary and she was probably tired and still emotional from the hormones. She and Hank both seem like very good parents. That baby is adorable!

I didn't see the episode where the paparazzi were all over Kendra and the baby but i saw a clip. Kendra handled it like lots of people in her situation would. Those Box's are like mini apartments and private.

Just watched the latest episode where they finally put little Hank in his crib in his own room. Kendra was having separation anxiety. I know exactly how she felt! Our little guy slept in our room till he was about 5 months old. When we moved we put him in his own room, which was hard for me. Thank God for baby monitors! He slept in his own room till he was two, then decided he wanted back in our room. Still there. Hopefully, he'll decide to move out before he gets to high school.
