Two Questions That Are Unrelated

Hey Everybody!! I have two questions that are pretty much unrelated in all contrast. Question #1: We have a jogging stroller that is pretty much new that has only been used about 5 times and we need to sell it and get a double stroller. Where would be the best place to advertise it? I heard Craigslist wasn't real popular around here so I don't know where to list it. We also have a couch, a table, a big screen tv and the stroller to get rid of. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Question #2: We are pregnant with number two and I did not get stretch marks with our first until right after having my son. I got a few on my hips, thighs, and on the left side of my belly. They have pretty much faded, but I would like to try to avoid them all together on this pregnancy. I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions as to what I might can use to help keep from getting them as much as possible. We only have 3 1/2 months to go and so far I have not seen any stretch marks yet, but I know I need to start putting lotion or something on my skin to help prevent them. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

What can I do next?

K.,
Actually, I think Craigslist is popular here. I had a bunch of office furniture that I needed to sell a while ago, and I got tons of responses. I would try it and see what happens! Out of curiousity, how much are you wanting for the jogging stroller?
Thanks,
C.

Question #1: I use Craigslist all the time. I have had great success with it.

Question #2: If you find a way to avoid stretch marks let me know! I am pregnant with number 3 due in July and after the first two my hips and stomach look like a road map!

Hey K.!
As far as selling your items Craigslist works well for me I have sold a lot and bought a lot! As far a strech marks only a small % of moms wont get them. However you can try to avoid them by using a oil, I used body butter from the body shop and I didnt get a single one!Just remember you have to use it everyday atleast twice a day! Good Luck on the new wee one!!

for #2., I suggest "Mothers Friend" lotion - hot pink in color but worked great for both of my pregnancies - no stretch marks at all - and both of my sisters had them. So I know it works. You might have to search for it on the internet. I only found it one place in south tampa. anyway - start soon - I started as soon as I found out I was pregnant. good luck
