Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 October 2006

I am 23 and my 25 yr old brother was in a horrible automobile accident last week, and he recently passed away in the hospital while I was holding onto his hands, his wife was killed instantly. It was a very sad moment because he had a newborn son that is just 2 weeks old and he was so proud he was a father, and he had just gotten married a year ago. I was in the hospital room visiting him and he told me he didn't think he was gonna make it, he started to cry and he asked me if I could be the role model, father, and dad of his new son. and I was speechless. we had never cried in front of eachother in about 8 yrs or so, needless to say that was a very sad moment. I sobbingly told him I would be honored to be the father figure for his son and that I would take good care of him. wow, this is starting to get to me...... anyways I went to grab a quick bite to eat from the snack bar and when I came back, 4 doctors were in his room and I ran in and grabbed his hand and he

Has any lady out there ever failed a blood pregnancy test with period being at least 6 days late and still been pregnant? If yes, how late were you? how far along were you when the test finally showed positive? Sorry for all the questions, but I just can't accept the fact that I'm not pregnant. Believe me this isn't the first time I've thought I was pregnant (been trying for many years) and I believed the tests when they came back negative. But this time it's different. I don't really feel any symptons in my body but I feel it in my heart. Any positive stories may help me either deal with or accept the test.
oh by the way, I believe that I experienced implantation bleeding from 9/16 to 9/19, 6 days before my period was due. It was very light spotting brownish mucous (sorry tmi). I have never experienced this before. I am sure it wasnt an early period. I have never started early in my life. Plus I take metformin which regulates my periods every 28days like clockwork

If you came home to find no one else home, but your 16yr old son's friend rummaging thru the kitchen drawer's. When you walk in and ask what he is doing he says he is looking for some paper and a pen to leave your son a note. But you notice on the counter next to him is a lock pick and some of YOUR jewelry, pluse he reaks of pot and alcohol. When you ask him to leave he does, but what would you do afterwards? Do you tell your son, call the cops, tell his parents or something else, or even do you do nothing?

I have been trying for nearly 2 years to become pregnant with baby number 3 but to no avail. I get the Mitzschmurtz on my overies each month and I get a + OPK so I don't know what is happening. I get the Clear CM and the BBT, and then each month nothing. So just wondering if anyone knows about this. I have been to the fertility specilist 2 months ago, Took clomid 50 mg 5-9 I got over stimmulated overy then next month I decided to not continue after AF came. I had a follow up scan and it was very thurough and the OBGYN said I was fine overies looked great. I hope to hear from you. Thank You

He pushes his tounge out of his mouth throughout the day. He does'nt have a fever, nor does he have diarreha which are some of the symptoms that I've read about thhat are associated with teething. He has been a little more crankier than usual for the last 4 days and when put to bed, he wakes up crying after one or two hours and that's unusual for him. Does this sound like he's teething????

As of November 19th Wal-Mart will no longer be accepting anymore layaways and all active layaways MUST be pulled out by December 8th, no exceptions.

Wal-Mart claims they lose money on seasonal items such as clothing and school supplies and such. I have noticed that the Wal-Mart I work at posts a sign that says summer furniture (like what is in lawn and garden) is not able to be put in layaway after a certian date. Why can't they do the same with the other items?

I put in layaways all year long and it is very helpful with Christmas and Birthdays. The only KMart in this area I know of looks like a DUMP!

Anyways what are YOUR feelings of layaway being closed and if you are AGAINST it PLEASE sign this petition started by a motherof 6 that doesn't the layways to stop.

I am about 12 days late, but only had sex sep 13-17, so in my case i think it is too early to test. I have tested at least every third day and all negative. I went to the dr to do blood test and she said it was too early, but my question is how many negative test did you take till the positive result?

My daughter is about to graduate high school and I am so very proud of her. I told her how proud I was and how much I loved her, I started to tear up, and then my daughter started to tear up, and she told me I really touched her and it meant alot because she never knew until now how much I really loved her. Has any body ever felt so proud of their children that they start to cry?. It is hard for me to keep a dry eye while typing this.

I just read the latest Dear Abby, and there was a young girl asking for help because her older sister does this thing where she chokes herself to get high from depriving herself of oxygen. I have never heard of this! What is wrong with kids these days?

My baby has her two bottom middle teeth. She doesn't have her top middle ones yet but the ones next to the middle ones came in. She looks like she has fangs. It's quite cute and I'm not at all concerned, I'm just wondering if this happened to your baby?

This is something I've truly wondered- I am NOT asking it to try and be sarcastic or anything. I'd like to hear what the pro-abortionists think. If you saw a pregnant woman out on the street stabbing herself in the stomach in an attempt to kill her baby, would you just let her do it (because it's her choice) or would you stop her? Like I said, this is not an attempt to be ugly to pro-abortionists, I've just wondered this because I just don't understand how anyone can think abortion is ok.
