Pregnancy & Parenting - 3 December 2006

My youngest child is 15 years old and I am 4 months pregnant. Things have changed SO much in the past 15 years! I was looking online for some baby slings and have found that there are so many out there. Of course they all claim to be the best. I would love to have the opinions of mothers who are using them.

When answering, please give the name brand of your sling, where you got it from, and approximate price.

What do you like about your brand of baby sling?

What do you not like about it?

Thank you in advance for helping a very confused older new Mom.

I have a 2 year old boy and I am looking for some ideas on gifts for Christmas. He loves Elmo but I think we have too much Elmo stuuf. He also likes Bob the Builder and Clifford. I also want to get him some good learning toys. Do you have a specific toy you can recommend?

I find out in 6 weeks the gender of my baby and we both have agreed if it's a girl to call her Naomi. But i want to pronounce it Niomi. Is there any ways to spin this name and make it something else or any unique ways of just spelling the name itself. Both my two other girls have very unique and unusual names, i hate to make this one plain jane and common kwim! Thank you in advance. :)

Example: I tell him to go to the bathroom and get his toothbrush. He knows how to do this but he continues to sit on the floor and play. If I stand him up, he just stands there in spite of telling him repeatedly to go to the bathroom. What is wrong with this child?

It felt bruised there for about 30 mins. Does anyone know whether I could have harmed the baby or whether this is where organs are - I'm 6 months pregnant.

My girlfriend thinks she is pregnant and her period was due 3 days ago, should I start panicking? What are signs that she is pregnant? We don't want kids we are only 16, we have always had protected sex but for some reason she is scared about being pregnant. Is it possible for her to take a pregnancy test at a clinic without the need of parents? Thank you.

So on a different question i wrote about me liking a kid in 8th grade named Chris! I am in 6th grade. So i told him i liked him and he said that he wanted to br friends for now! a few weeks ago i saw him in the mall and we didnt talk to each other, just glanced to each other...but yesterday i saw him in the mall again and he stopped and we chatted for a minute. My sister says he likes me so today i called him and talked to him about it! he said that he liked me alot but he had a gf....i dont know what to do...I still like him so much and im positive he likes me, but he doesnt want to break up with his gf now!

I'm just a little concerned about a friend of mine, she smokes constantly & swears that it can do no harm to her baby. I really don't agree with her but I need some other opinions.
