I am part of a Moms Club and we are going to try and get some groups going within the club. I am looking for catchy cute names. Example: Cooking club is "Let's Get Cooking". I need a name for the following:
Book Club
Discussion group
Exercise/walking group (walking with strollers)
Scrap booking

Please remember this is for a SAH mom's club so clean suggestions.

Serious answers only. 10 Pts to the person with the most chosen names for the groups. Also if you have suggestions for other groups/activities that I might be able to introduce as a reoccurring event (we already do MOMS Night Out).

Thanks in advance!

Today is cycle day 16. My bbt temperature spiked to 98.2 (from 96.4) By CM is clear, a little stretchy and humid. My CP is so high, I thought it was missing!, open and soft. We had sex last night, and Tuesday night. Should we do it again? Can I test on the 30th? Please, I need some encouragement...

I was wondering if anyone knew of any stress techniques for toddlers... When I get stressed out I relax and slowly breath in and out and I don't think about anything just concentrait on relaxing. My 3 year old has recently started copying me and I noticed that he has been doing alot better in reading when he does this. I have seen him on his bed, reading, getting stuck and putting his book down and take a few deep breaths and then closing his eyes. After he is done he picks up his book and begins to read again, is this good for him? is he too young to do that? are there other things I could teach him? (when he has a meltdown in the store I do this too, and I noticed that he doesn't have meltdowns as nearly as much anymore, does he know it bothers me?)

My son is a preemie 10mnth chr.- 7 month adjusted and all I feel my husband and I do is stim him with physical activities- bouncing, playing on us, swing in johhny jumper- when ever I try to read or play a game- he gets very agitated- he does not like being in playpen alone with toys- he either wants to be held and entertained physically or fed where he falls asleep for very short intervals- 45 minutes....I am afraid he is going to need ADHD meds by the time he is 1....

I see so many questions from teens and adults that ask if they should keep their baby or abort it. Though I am pro-choice I cannot understand why so many people feel that this is the ONLY choice?

A friend told me she saw an article about a doctor operating on a
baby in the womb and it reached it's hand out of the incision and
kept it wrapped around the surgeon's finger for the whole
operation. She said there is a photo of it but that she had deleted
it. Has anyone else here seen the photo or heard this story? That
image gives me chills.

My doctor and the tec. both agreed to my baby being a girl. They both said it when the other was out of the room. I'm getting worried now because I think it's a boy. The heartrate is around 130's, and I'm having boy dreams all the time. So I was just wondering if the doc could of screwed up!!!!! Is this common concern? I have everything pink!!!!!!

This doesn't happen every single time, but my baby starts to cry when she's being picked up. I looked her over, (head, neck, shoulders, back) and nothing seems to be physically wrong with her.
However, when I slide my hand under her and she knows she's going to be lifted, she crys. If she's already crying, when I pick her up, she will sometimes cry harder.
What's wrong? Is it the sensation of being lifted? Does it just trigger more fussiness? Am I actually hurting her? Is she just releasing some energy?
I don't get it. It's not just when I pick her up (she does this when my hubby and mother pick her up too), and it's not just when I pick her up a certain way. Again, it's not EVERYtime someone picks her up either, but she seems to cry about it more often than not.
She settles down after a short time while I'm holding her, but it's pretty distressing in the meantime.

Being that I’m from California its hard to adjust to Georgia. I’m about to give birth to my daughter who is scheduled to arrive July 22. She was conceived through IVF. From the beginning I have not had quality prenatal care. I recently got transfer to a specialist who only does ultrasounds. I’m going to meet the doctor for the first time today. Is this really how GA is?

My issue is this: I went to L & D on Saturday and my contractions were stopped with an IV and I was told to come back if they still persisted. Well they have been off and on all week. I finally went in last night to get treated like an immigrant. The resident had no clue as to why he was even working. He kept asking dumb questions such as Have you had sex? (Ok I have Placenta Pervia why would I be having sex?) Why are you here? Let’s see I’m pregnant. This went on for about 10 min if only he has read my file he would of known all of this. My contractions were 5 -7 min and this guy could not come to a conclusion other than wait to see your doctor tomorrow.

Being that I had my twins by c-section I did not have time to go through contractions or pains. I will be 35 weeks tomorrow and I’m so confused which is making me depressed. Does anyone know if my contractions are real or fake? My cervix is still closed is this due to the pervia?
