Pregnancy & Parenting - 14 July 2006

I know when they're first born it's really just gas when they smile. When do they start smiling for real and when are they supposed to start holding their head up by themselves?? My baby is a week and a half old and at about 4 or 5 days old she was trying to hold her head up and now can get it up but just has trouble keeping it up for a while. Is that normal?

I'm a single mom with a 4 year old son. He always has poop in his underwear. He has been potty trained for over a year now. He doesn't wipe very well and tonight he pooped in his underwear several times. I don't know what to do anymore. I've wiped for him and shown him how to do it himself. Nothing seems to work. HELP

My wife had a HCG Pregnancy Blood Test done and the result shown was 233.6 IU/L. The nurse told her she was pregnant. but when i asked the nurse, whats the benchmark for pregnancy, she didnt know how to answer me. so my question is, what is the range of values of the HCG for 1) non pregnancy, 2) pregnancy? whats the normal amount to tell us thats its a confirmed pregnancy?

Has anyone had a first birth that was early and a second that wasn't, maybe even late? My first was born at 38 weeks and I'm 38 weeks pregnant with my second now, I feel ready but I'm starting to think maybe this baby will be late. I know nobody can tell me if it will be or not, I just want to here similar stories and outcomes.

If he gets in trouble no discipline is working, he gets spankings he gets grounded he gets no toys no tv no desert after dinner has to clean the bathroom and pick up dog poop out side, has to stay in his room and be completly miserable, but it doesn't seem to phase him, he still laughs at you and act like it's no problem all of the punishment he has had and he still continues to mis-behave and cause trouble at day care and at home, he is a very smart child and the first to show affection I just don't understand the bad behavior and how to correct it.

My mother said to make a chart and give him stars for good behavior and at the end of the day some kind of prize for good behavior.

Anyone have any other ideas?

My hubby and I went to a restaurant in our neighborhood, the busboy kept coming around and saying hi to my 4yr old and touching her on her arm and side. This of course annoyed us, my hubby was seated next to her so I told him that if something like that ever happens again she should hug her and hold her close to him letting the person know (stay away). He came around again and continued making small talk only to her. We had to move her from where she she was and seat her where behind us was a booth with a family eating. But as soon as they left he started cleaning the area and offered her ketchup. Any idiot can see the kids plates came with a little bowl of ketchup, I kept saying NO! and he waved it in front of her making her reach out for it. My hubby got up to the buffet and the busboy immediately came and put his knee on the place next to her, I got up and shoved him away. I reported this to the mgr, who then called out to the busboy & the waiter, came back did not even apologize.

I know I should test it on my arm, but I don't know what it should feel like on my arm.

I really like the name Jalyn but most people say that it looks girly the way I would like to spell it. I choose that spelling because in away it has my middle name which is lynn...and I really like him having apart of my name because the middle is based on the dads name. The name itself is unisexed so do you think I should change the spelling to look more boyish....and if so which do you think looks best:
Jalene
Jalen
Jaylin
Jelean
Let me know you what you think.
