Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 November 2006

Just a general query here, I live in the UK and like everyone else I know and have spoke to here I am 100% against circumcision it's something that VERY rarely get done here and I believe isn't even done on the NHS so parents would need to go private.

Anyway I am aware that many people in the US still aren't up to date with new medical information and still beleive that circumcising is the right thing to do.

I don't want to get into a debate about whether it's right or wrong here just want to know if you would do it and if you are UK or US (or any other country obviously) to see if it is a 'country thing'

I am trying to concieve a boy. (I have 2 girls now.) Everything points to having sex on day 14 or so, plus a bunch of other stuff. However, in the heat of the moment we unded up together on day 12 (last night.) I REALLY do not want another girl, although I don't mind, just worked so hard at researching for a boy.
What are your thoughts? Do you think it is possible that we just did it too soon and I can still dream of a boy? Or did I mess up big time?

It has to be completely peanut free, and somewhat healthy (no cookies, cake etc). What do you make when you are "snack mom"?

My husband and i had unprotected sex Nov. 6, 11, 15...after a week from the first time, i got really bloated and began to get pains and cramps in my belly. My breast seemed larger, and the blue veins on my breast were more prominent, like you could see them from 10 ft away. I took 2 tests a week after the second time we had unprotect sex and they were both negative. I got my period Nov 23, and i am more bloated than usual and my breast are looking a bit swollen...could i still be pregnant?? When should i test...a day or a week or how many days after my period ends?

My stepdaughter lives with us one year and with her Mother the next. She switches schools every year. Right now she is in Germany with her mother. And next year she is suppose to come back to North carolina with me and her Father, then go to school here for a year...then move back the next year. It's really starting to get to my husband, her father. What would you do? Is it okay to keep it going this way. We've been doing this for 3 years now. Is this fair to her. OR is this way best? Please give me your honest opinion. Thanks to all
