Pregnancy & Parenting - 19 September 2006

We are moving in December from Cairns, Australia to Atlanta, Georgia. For starters it will be cold so I have already ordered clothes for her and I have ideas and some furniture already to make her room comfortable but any ideas on how to best settle a child after such a change would be appreciated.

clean up vomit when it's on the carpet...especially in the wee hours of the morning when your child gets ill. What's the fastest and most effective way?

He just realized that he can get out of his crib by himself. This is the second night of this. It took 2 hours last night, and one hour and 38 "get back in beds!" tonight. And now it's 12:44 am, and he's up again. Any ideas? Thanks!

my first pregnancy was 9 years ago. it went perfect. I had a miscarriage at 10 wks last December. my husband and I are really trying the best we can to get pregnant, and I justwonder beside a missed period is there any discharge syptoms or cramping associated with pregnancy. When is the soonest most women feel this. I've heard syptoms become clearer to you when you've had other pregnancies and that they can come allot sooner. Is this true or am I going crazy???!! I am 7dpo and expect period in about 6 days

I know I should feed every 2 to 3 hours, but what about naps? I always have a tough time putting her to sleep if I don't use her swing. I don't want to depend on it though. Help

My period lasted only 2 days, then a little spotting for another 2 days, could I be pregnant, or just a weird period? I don't know if it would be too soon or not for a test...Thanks!!

I am pregnant with my third child. I am finding it a lot harder to
get out and excercise because pushing a 4 year old and a 2 year
old in a stroller while pregnant isn;t that easy. I lost the weight with
my other two but I am worried this weight will never go if it really is true that it gets harder. Anyone have experiances?

I forgot to mention on the previous post that my friend is scheduled back to work once her 6 week maternity leave is over. So basically she's got a week left. I don't think she should go back right now since she's already stressed. Can a regular doctor give her a Rx for time off until she gets over some of her depression? She tells me she barely gets 4 hours a night as it is. I can't imagine what she's going to be like after going back to work full time!

I am 36a and happily married, and have a 7 month old son. my husband and I are usually very careful with sex, because I have blood pressure problems and also an on anti-depressants...which I went off of most to get pregnant the first time. However, last night was had unprotected sex, I am on the 4th day of my period, they last about five or six days, with very light bleeding on days 5-6. Is there a possiblity that I could be pregnant? And what exactly should I do if so...since I am on medications....what test can I take early and how early to find out?

Car seat issue!?
OK I am a mom of 3 with a new baby due in April 07 in all there will be 6 of us! in my car.
now seating in my car is not the issue it seats 8!
the issue is two of the seats are rear faceing and only 4 of them have sholder straps!
when the baby comes I know it will need to go in the middle of the back seat in a rear facing set (been there with the other three)
My issue is where can I put every one else!
my children will be 6y 5y and 4y when this new baby is born!
any one know the laws (I'm in Virginia) on where and how a child needs to sit in the seats? (are my two rear lab belt only seats as good as not there?)
right now my youngest (3) is in a 5 point in the middle of the back seat and the (4) and (5) year olds are in backless boosters on either side of him. (the boosters must be used with sholderstrap seat belts.)
oh and the passenger side air bag has been disabled! (the former owner had lots of kids)
(the third row seats are rear facing with lapbelts!

My 1 month son sleeps, then twitches which causes him to wake up crying. Any solutions without using medicine? I swaddle him tightly with a variety of swaddlers and techniques but no luck. He sleeps in his own crib with the only light being a lamp.

My daughter (will be 3 next month) urinates in the potty on her own, but has never gone poop in the toilet. I try to encourage, but so far - nothing. She used to have erratic bowel movements, but now she regularly has them at nap time, or over night - these are the only times she's in pull-ups. I think she'd now holding them in because she doesn't want to go in her panties, but doesn't want to go in the potty either. How can I help her see it will be okay, if she won't try?

I was wondering what people thought about Canadian private schools. Do you think they are benefitial? Do you think public school is better? Any thoughts would be helpful as I decide the "educational direction" of my son.

My fiance and I are going to head out on a week long honeymoon, and we're leaving our 1-year old son with his grandparents (both sets are going to share him). As a result we're making a sheet of how to care for him, what to do in case of emergency, etc.

Some things we are including:
1) Normal routine
2) How to handle naptime
3) The bedtime routine
4) Emergency contacts
5) Medicines and how to give them
6) How to handle illnesses
7) Food limitations
8) How to prepare his meals (basic hints)

We're also including an insurance note that says that we give his grandparents persmission to take him to the emergency room that will be notorized. The MIL is going a bit crazy over that.

Is there anything we're forgetting. Any tips or hints to include?

Obviously we're not going to go crazy with strict diets and such, but we want to give them some help. HIS parents have never had our son overnight, and we have a perticular bed time routine we want to keep.
