My daughter is 2 1/2. I'm not trying to push her into it at all. I read magazines... so I know the basics of potty training (lots of encouragement, don't force, don't get upset at them.. etc).. If anyone has any other information that they would like to share please do. Thanks a lot!!!

My husband and I are in are mid 20's. We make a combined income of >$150,000/yr. I am an RN w/very flexible schedules. We're home owners, and even the proud parents of a dog. We have been together for 9 years and married for 1. We have gone on vacations have gone through our years of partying with friends, and so on. Now I feel like the next logical step is bringing a child into this world. I feel very ready and excited for motherhood, however my husband's opinion greatly differs, He wants children, however not right now. And on the other hand I feel that there is nothing holding us back. I ask he why he does not want a child and he give the typical male response:"he is not ready to give up his lifestyle", and so on... well he didn't want the resposibility of a puppy either, and he couldn't love him more. He wants to wait a year, however fertility problems run in my family, 1 yr could turn into 5, and he knows this...how do I change his mind. It think he is more ready than he knows.

Apparently when I was born, the doctor lifted me up and said "Ah! Looks like Kirk Douglas!" It's the dimple.

If you have ever seen the movie Signs when they are doing the scene where the father is telling the kids what happened when they were born, that's what I was thinking about. I realized the movie would have been fifty times cooler if he went "Do you know what the doctors said when you were born...? Ah.. looks like Kirk Douglas!" In that oh so solemn tone.

Anyone have suggestions on keeping the dog's water dish away from my toddler while still keeping it available for my dog? It's too hot to only have it out some of the time.

last year, and we are very close. I really don't want to be seperated from him, but our financial situation is going to be too tight if I don't work. How do you get over missing your child? The first time I left him with someone, The very first and only time, he got badly hurt with a bad injury to his mouth and nose. When I left him with her(she is a relative), she assured me she would take care of him and watch him. Every time I think about it I start to cry. How can I trust anyone to take care of him when my own family member let him get badly hurt?

Do pre-natal vitamins have to be prescribed by a doctor or can they be bought at a store? Are pre-natal vitamins just multi-vitamins for women?
