Pregnancy & Parenting - 10 August 2006

my son is 11 months old and he does not yet crawl. he gets on his hands and knees and rocks foward and back but no crawling yet. he is very frustrated. he can stand when i hold his hands but he doesn't pull up yet. he's a pro at rolling though, and he can get anywhere he wants by rolling (well, if he fits) but whenever he tries and fails at crawling he cries and i try to encourage him and help him but he just can't. i didn't walk until i was 15 months old and i'm not in any particular hurry for him to crawl, but he really is taking his time. any thoughts?

pickles, cereal, toast, pretzels, oatmeal, exc. I'm also eating fruits and veggies, but why am I wanting so many carbs?!? Right now I want a bowl of chips in vinegar but I just ate a big bowl of it and I'm not hungry at all but I have a strong desire to eat more of it. What is going on and should I eat it or not? I'm not showing yet and I weigh about 122. (This is my first pregnancy so I dont know what to do, and I dont want to do anything unhealthy for the baby)

I was just wondering if that myth was accurate...the one where if you were having a girl, you craved sweets & if you were having a boy you craved sours. What did you crave and what did you end up having? Boy a or girl?

I was just wondering if anyone has ever delivered a still born baby because they got caught up in their cord, or maybe if your baby's cord got tied in a knot or something. Would I know if this happended in time to deliver before it is too late? I'm 7 months pregnant with my 3rd child. I always worry about that sort of stuff if my baby doesn't move a lot during the day. This just happens to be one of those days that she isn't moving a lot. Thanks!

from everything I've read, it's "nothing" to worry about considering everything else about the ultrasound "appears to be normal", but I wanted to see if anyone else had anything to share? Every mother is going to worry unless she hears "the baby is perfect" you know?

My daughter is 12 1/2 months old and I'm finding she is able to slip her foot inbetween the rails of the crib (crib meets standards) when should I consider moving her into a bed? What type of bed would you suggest: toddler, twin or double?

I am pregnant for the 3rd time this year. The first 2 ended in m/c. One in Jan. and one in April. I am concerned that I may miscarry this one also. I was told in Jan that I have that HPV, but my doc told me that the HPV had nothing to do with the m/cs. Has anyone else ever had this happen?

My daugher is getting ready to go to the first grade and may not be ready. She was the youngest kindergardener in the entire district and her teacher even from day one was like i think she needs to develop her ability to focus more. We recently got her report card on which the teacher commented that socially she was o.k but cant perform basic functions and is easily distracted. When i ask her to do the same things she can. I know shes high strung but my question is should i let this teacher influence me and hold her back or just she how she does in a new classroom and enviorment. I know she knows more than what the teacher said she does b/c shes proven it to me before.

Thanks

My Husband, David & I are in the process of trying to open up a pet store in Northren California ( Shasta County area). And we have a question for you. If a pet store offered free pet classes for kids 6-up. ( Parents must attend) would you do it? What kind of classes would you like to see offered? What kinds of animals would you like us to cover? Any other ideas?

Also another question. Sadly in the state of California. It is illegal to sell any pets or pet related products to a child under 18 years old without a parent in the store with them.( sending notes or calling doesn't count you must be with them even to look) I have worked in pet stores where parents have gotten mad because of this. What can we do to make it as pleasent as possable for both kids and adults to come into our store?
Any ideas would be great!
Thanks,
Jennifer

Do you want to have?

Was the question.....fun to see what different peoples preferences were. Then I came to this answer that kind of made me sick.

"if it's with the man i love -- i'll bear whatever amount of children he wants to have."

What is with that???? Shouldn't a marriage or relationship be about making decisions together?? If some guy wanted this woman to have 10 kids she would be all gunhoe JUST BECAUSE ITS WHAT HE WANTS. I can see if they came to that decision as a couple but just because thats how many children he wants you to bear?

What do you all think about this statement?

In no way am I saying the man should have no say in how many children a couple has but when it comes down to it....if a man wants children and his wife/significant other doesn't it is her body who has to carry this baby and give birth. It is her decision.

anyhow, we've tried talking about it, time out, cleaning up his own mess, bribes, spanking (not beating), and now taking away his toys. He knows when It's coming and just absolutle refuses to cooperate. When I ask him why, he laughs and says it's because I'm funny ( I guess my reaction).....any ideas????
