I am putting together a care package for a newborn.
I need help deciding exactly what to put in the package.

What single item could you NOT live without when you had a newborn??
It's a boy if that helps...

Okay this isnt a direct pregnancy question but I thought pregnant women would understand more then anyone. I am 10 weeks pregnant, I quit smoking as soon as I found out. My fiancee still smokes though and now it grosses me out to kiss him! His breath smells sooo bad...I never noticed before. I think me being pregnant makes the smell worse.
no smart *** answers please.
I know this is a silly question but I really love him, and we are getting married saturday, any suggestions?

I am having a problem getting my daughter to sleep all night in her own bed. I have tried the ferber method and it doesn't work for me. She will cry for more than an hour. We haven't let her go for longer than that. She is a very restless sleeper and wakes up often during the night. I need to get some new ideas to help me get my nights back to being for me and my husband instead of running up and down the stairs to try to get her to stay asleep.

He is demanding to know (I don't know why) and I don't know what to tell him. Would there still be visible scarring from 17 years ago.

BTW, as he turned away from me and walked off, I heard him mumble something like "not going in the way I came out."

Shes 4 and she cries at the drop of a hat. You look at her funny she cries. She dont get her way she cries.Maybe its just a girl thing cause my 8 year old daughter does the same thing. Just seems that girls are harder to raise than boys because of their emotional devlopment.Its like you dont want to do the wrong thing because you dont want them scared for life but yet just having to deal with every day issues seems very challenging.

How many of you have tried teething tablets? Do they work better than Orajel? I have 4.5 month old who is teething pretty badly and it seems to be getting worse the passed couple of days. The Orajel seems to be wearing off before it is time to apply more. Also, has anyone's child(ren) gotten their top teeth before the bottom? His top gums seem to be much more tender/inflammed than the bottom.

I am 34 years old and have alway wanted a child. I have the perfect Fieance that will be a great dad, but I am so fearful of the whole process and then staying home after the baby is born, because I don't have family to help me. I am so nervous. Is this normal?

I have a Nephew and he never learns a thing when we punish him. we set him on the stairs but i knew that never works. Plus my little sister also punished alongside with him and they just chat and play around. I think my ideal of best punishment method would be empty rooms and they stay there for 10 minutes. What about you?

For the last 2 weeks my 6 yr old daughter has been fighting us on getting up for school. She claims she is tired and wants to stay in bed. School starts at 7:45 and I get her up at 6 Am. Her sister gets up with out a problem. This morning she refused to get out of bed. We have tried everything to get her out of bed. She has lost watching her TV to her cheerleading and she still continues to do this!! She is in bed at 7 and won't fall alsleep till about 9. sits in bed and plays and talks to herself. I am at a total lose on what to do! She plays outside and it doesn't seem to wear her out! Any ideas on what to do to get her to go to sleep when she goes to bed?

I'm guessing if I could be preggo?
My last "period" was on august 23, it was a 28 days cicle, no normal to be because before that I always had 35 days cycles. So, it came a week earlier and it was about 3 -4 days, with little flow when I usually had a heavy flow.

So based on my last period I'm supossed to be on my first day and I have nothing of my period common sympthoms, no pain no cramps, boobs are a little heavier and that's it. I tend to have terribel cramps near the date.

In addition, I have been feeling no nautea, but I know i'm sensitive to certain odors, headaches everyday at 1pm, I felt light cramps last week, so
I'm thinking wait until next week so it would be 35 days for my cycle (like usually it is) and see what happens!
