Pregnancy & Parenting - 11 August 2006

I am the mother of a 7 month old baby girl. She usually sleeps through the night but lately she has been waking up occasionally. Her father is a stay-at-home dad. I work full time outside of the home and I wake up to feed the baby whenever she wakes up in the night or early morning. As a result, I am exhausted at work. Shouldn't the parent who stays home wake up for night feedings?

the first grandchild in our family was just born 2 days ago! i am so excited over having a baby in the family (my sis's baby) and i love going to see him and the parents of course and holding the baby! i could hold him for hours on end! well i think my fiance is feeling deglected because i am constantly talking about the baby and wanting to go see him after we get off of work. i am trying really hard to make sure i pay attention to my fiance and spend time with him, but i still think he is feeling this way! i know you may say it is shildish blah blah, but when you go from focusing 110% of your time on someone then go to spending alot of that time on the baby it is a big huge change! i understand where he is coming from because i would feel the same way if roles were reversed! we live together so we are together all the time, but i am trying my hardest to give him attn, and talk to him alot and all. is this normal or what do i need to do to balance the time. tonight i told himwe would

Okay. For some time now we have had to put our daughter to bed and let her cry herself to sleep. She stands in there and says.."get down please, get down please". We do not go back in and she is still in her crib. How do we get her to go to bed without crying herself to sleep every night. Also, when should I move her to a toddler bed? We have no idea since she won't even sleep in the crib so when we move her to the big bed we think she will just climb out and go back to playing. What do we do? Please help.

My 12 month old daughter just learned how to crawl right before she turned 11 months, she was doing good at pulling herself up, at least I have seen her do it several times, but now she wont do it. She won't even stand and hold on to our coffee table if i put here there. BUT she will walk around if you hold her hands sometimes.(cant walk alone yet.) She has never had a problem with this untll now, and Im just concerned. She would rather sit down and crawl then stand up. And she hasn't really figured out how to cruise around the furnature, she just stands.

Her pediatrician says that she's "Fine"
No, she didn't get hurt.
And no, she wasnt' a preemie.

After being on clomid for four months (preg first month but miscarried at 7 weeks) I decided to take a break from clomid and try natural. This month I had normal period (as always) but I ovulated later than normally when on clomid. I use the digital monitor to test. I was high fertility on days 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17 and peak 18 and 19. On clomid I am high usually days 12, 13, 14, peak 15 and 16. How the heck is it possible to stay high that long. thats just not possible. Anyone else ever had this or know what could cause it to be high so long. I am going to ask doctor when I go next month, but thought Id see if anyone else has had this..

I'm 25 years old and want children with my husband more than anything in the world. I'm very open to the idea of adopting or other options. What I'm asking for right now is advice on how to come to terms with my current situation.
