I had his pictures taken at JC Penny's when he was born, 6 months, 1 year and next week he'll be 18 months. Should I get the 18 month pictures taken or wait for one year? I'm not sure what "most" people do. I think he's still young enough that he's changing so much it would be worth it. But at the same time he's our first so we have a million pictures of him already!

My husband and I would like to start a family, but I am still in nursing school. I am 21 years old and will start clinicals in January and graduate in May 2009. Is it possible to be pregnant and still get through clinicals? Have any of you done it before? After getting my RN I want to continue education and get my Masters and then go to Medical School, so I will be in school for along time and will not really have a "right time" to have a baby for along time, so I figure now is as good a time as any. IF anyone has adivice or anything I would love it.

Was she helpful? If so, what kind of things was she helpful with? Would you do it again? Was she worth the money, given that she was helping you through a c-section rather than a vaginal delivery?

I still feel her very high into my ribs. With my last pregnancy I thought they were in the position for birth by now.

My daughter is 13 months old and has been going to this great little Lutheran daycare near my work. This is 35 miles from my home and it feels good having her close by in case anything happens. I don't have any concerns about the care of her except sometimes I feel like she is being left to her own devices as if sometimes they might not have a lot of extra time to give to each child. It costs a lot more too - 210/week.
My dilemma is that I have been on a waiting list for over a year to get into this at-home daycare near my house and now there's an opening. It is set up as a little school inside a home and it really quaint with all the amenities of a bigger one. They have weekly themes and 'lesson plans', outdoor playground, 4-1 ratio, PAID food...It's also cheaper - saving us 150/month plus the savings from food. I'm just not sure if I should switch.They have a 5:30 pm pick up time policy and we both have to drive a long way to get there from work. Not sure it's worth the stress

My doctor said the cyst was the cause of the cramps on the right side of my stomach. She also said that the cyst was a good thing giving the baby extra nutrients. And that everything else is good, but we cant figure out whats causing me to bleed or "spot". Does anyone have any experience with this? She said baby is growing as it should, and I have another doctors app this afternoon. If you have any experience or know someone who has, I would love some insight. Thanks!

My doctor says depression is normal and treatment is very effective. But I told him I feel fine and that everything is great, that's how I felt at the time. Now I just feel like maybe I do have depression. Maybe it's just hormones though? I had my baby 3 1/2 weeks ago, and I also have a 3 1/2 year old and a 20 month old. I'm getting restless to be at home with them all the time, but I feel like I can't get out with a 3 1/2 week old baby. When my newborn cries and I can't consule her all I can do is just put her down and start crying myself. I don't feel like I'm a good mother because I don't do more with my kids...they watch too much tv. I've been thinking a lot recently about going back to work or school and wonder if having kids was the best choice. But at the same time I love them to death and couldn't imagine not having them. I often get bored with being a stay-at-home mom and wonder if there's more to life. There's so much more stuff bugging me...is this depression?

Subject: TO ALL PARENTS....Pretty Scary!!!

McDonalds, Chuck E Cheese, Discovery Zone... Some of you might not be parents, but you may have nieces, nephews, grandchildren or friends with
children. This will pertain to you too. As I read the following, my heart sank. I urge each and every one of you to pass this on to as many people as you can. I cannot stress how important this is! This is very disturbing news. In addition to the following true story, I will also add that my own sons were playing in the ball pit at Chuckee Cheese one day.

One son lost his watch, and was very upset. We dug and dug in those balls, trying to find the watch. instead, we found vomit, food, feces, and other stuff I do not want to discuss. I went to the manager. Come to find out, the ball pit is only cleaned out once a month. I have doubts that it is even done that often. My kids will never play in another ball pit.

NOW READ THIS!!!!!!!!!!!! PRETTY SCARY!!

Be very careful when taking your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews, etc.to the McDonald's Ball Pit play area. Ask the manager when was the last time they cleaned the play area out. Please read this even if you don't have children and forward it to everybody you can! This is so sad and so terrible!
Hi. My name is Lauren Archer, my son Kevin and I lived in Midland,TN. On October 2nd, 1999 I took my only son to McDonald's for his 3rd birthday.. After he finished lunch, I allowed him to play in the ball pit. When he started whining later on, I asked him what was wrong, he pointed to the back of his pull-up and simply said "Mommy, it hurts." I couldn't find anything wrong with him at that time. I bathed him when we got home, and it was at that point when I found a welt on his left buttock. Upon investigating, it seemed as if there was something like a splinter under the welt. I made an appointment to see the doctor the next day, but soon he started vomiting and shaking, then his eyes rolled back into his head. From there, we went to the emergency room. He died later that night. It turned out that the welt on his buttock was the tip of a hypodermic needle that had broken off inside. The autopsy revealed that Kevin had died from a heroine overdose. The next week, the police removed the balls from the ball pit. There was rotten food, several hypodermic needles: some full, some used; knives, half-eaten candy, diapers, feces, and the stench of urine. If a child is not safe in a child's play area then where? You can find the article on Kevin Archer in the October 10,1999 issue of the Midland Chronicle.

it's kinda gross, the color of the umbilical cord, but i don't think people will mind as much if they know why it's that color. My doctor didn't tell me anything when i asked, besides what goes in and out, we all know that already. So i kinda need someone else to help grasp this question.
Thanx

I have a 3 year and have been teaching him to shoot a pistol. Some people at the gun range tell me he is too young.

We live in a bad area and if she is alone and someone breaks in I want her to be able to protect herself.

My husband and I recently had our little girl dedicated to the Lord. When she old enough, maybe in her teens or early adult years, she will then be baptized. We wanted her faith and her personal relationship with God to be her choice. Some kids, I feel, get dunked for the wrong reasons and then don't live up to their baptismal duties. What do you think?

Kind of hard to explain but it feels like the baby's body is pushing up towards my ribcage.... making the whole top part of my uterus feel from the outside that it might be contractions(It tenses up for a while then releases). It has been doing it on and off since late last night...
and if its not contractions, do you have any idea why my baby is acting this way(meaning why she is pushing so intensely like that)?
I doesn't hurt though, i can just feel it.
