I have had my gorgeous golden retriever Hector for nearly three years. My baby girl is due in February, and it's a random question but in your experience do pets get jealous of newborns?? How should I prepare him for it?

That's what my husband & I have chosen to name our son. He'll be here in about 5 - 6 weeks. Harriman (pronounced hair -a - mun) is a family name. And we've always liked the name Nathanial, well I like Nathan better. It's normally spelled Nathaniel but that's too many vowels for me to remember! And since he'll go by Nathan, we will still be able to find things with his name on it. My sisters and cousins have decided that they will call him Nate Dog!

We are definately naming him Nathanial Harriman, but am just wondering what people think of it.

Hello, I'm 51/2 months pregnant and I'm not sure whether I should name my daughter Katie or Kate. I like Katie because it's so cute, fresh, fun etc. I like Kate because it's sweet, classic, and simple. Then again Katie can seem way to young and cutesie for when she's older. Sometimes I don't like Kate because it's just to short and a bit plain. Also I really don't want to name my baby Katherine, Kathleen, Katelyn, Katlin, and so on. Just Katie or Kate! My question is which name would all of you pick and why? Anyhow thank you so much for those who answers!

Ok I'm younger. Not young-young but I still am young. And I know I shouldn't have had unprotected sex so please don't give me a guilt trip on it. But I had sex on the 13th and 17th day after my first peroid. It is now the 12-09 and I'm suppose to have my peroid on 12-16. 1. What is the chances of me being pregnant? And 2. When can I take a test. I want to know asap. I would go to the doctor and get a blood test but I don't want my parents to know unless I really am. Please help me.

a black girl to call my son white boy and get away with it but when my son retaliates calling her brown girl my son is racist? Why should my son receive a suspension for it but the girl have nothing done about it? Why should she be considered to be being descriptive yet my son considered to be derogatory?

I've been taking first response tests. Found out on Thursday I 'm pregnant!!
Friday I took another just to make sure.. and it was much darker... kind of blurry... like there was too much urine on it or something. I took it about 6p.m.

this morning I took my last of 3... thought what the heck... and the line was there but not as dark... about as dark as the one on Thursday.

Does this mean anything bad? or maybe the test friday was just a fluck.... I get blood work on Monday.

Please let me know what you think... they were all positive.

We see snow once in a blue moon if we are lucky (a few flurries & ice alot).The minute a dusting hits the grass,school is called off.So my question is if you live in an area where snow is prominent,do you have snowdays (days cancelled due to snow)? and if so,how is that determined? Thanks

I have used clearblue easy digital before and got a positive result and ended up not being pregnant. And I thought that was the best one next to EPT

i love the fact that im pregnant but every time my baby kicks, i feels sad and depressed, but i dont want to feel like this.. .
i had a miscarrage in june of this year and got pregnant again in july, do you think its because i didnt give myself time to grieve the loss of my last baby?

I never threw up, but the queasiness was kind of intense for about a month. Then all of a sudden, I felt much better. I'm still really tired (and now really hungry - I enjoy eating again!). I'm nervous that I stopped feeling sick so soon (I heard it is usually around 12 to 15 weeks before you start feeling better). Should I be concerned? (I go back to the doctor in 4 days - I've already had 2 ultrasounds and everything was normal at those appointments).
