Pregnancy & Parenting - 4 January 2007

My son goes to his grandmas on his dads side at least once per week, when he comes home, he comepletly rejects me. I am torn to peices. This is my baby and I do everything to show him that I love him. It takes two days from the time he gets back, to even hug me! Lately he has been calling his grandma...momma! Which I didnt take offense to because he is only a baby and I figured that was how he said grandma! How do I get him back into MY HEART? Help!

I'm confused about infant carseats.
The rear facing carseat that came with my travel system will hold an infant up to 22 lbs. According to what I've read online, children generally reach this weight between 18 mo and 24 mo.
It seems like the kid would be a bit big for those carriers. And aren't kids somewhat mobile by then?
How long did your kid stay in one of those carrier-car seats before you switched it out for a regular one (with the forward facing option)?
Are the carrier style car seats even worth it?

I am about 6 weeks along. I have been experiencing a lot of low back pain. With my first pregnancy I didn't have low back pain until I was about 8 months along. Also my feet are swollen, another thing that I didn't get until the very end of pregnancy. I was just wondering if anyone else had experienced these things early on in their pregnancy.
It is possible that I may be further along than 6 weeks because my last period was very short. I my period usually lasts 5-7 days and my last one was only 3 days and very light, but that would still only put me at about 10 weeks. But I am not so sure about being that far along though becasue I took pregnancy tests around the time of my last period and they were negative. I just started getting positive tests 2 days ago.

What is the difference between an ultrasound and a sonogram? Is there really a difference? I got 5 weeks left in my pregnancy and so far my doctors have been calling it ultrasound. I asked for a 3-d ultrasound but I don't think Medicaid covers those. anyway, will a sonogram be a more in-depth picture or what?

i see it time after time. here is one: the question was what do you get from breeding a white girl with a very dark afro american? the "best answer" chosen was: Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
Depends totally on the shades of mommy and daddy. But most a pretty caramel color. The color you only see on Victoria Secrets models that takes hours to apply and perfect.

It is possible but i frequently see something else. Everything from dark black, a strange mottled look with red hair?, and some practically white in skin color but never just white. Some mayh be a tan color but some are pinto, like horses. dogs and cats are like that. a pretty caramel color? dream on jose. you never know tell it hits the gurney in the delivery room. Why do they desire such a thing as that. why distroy a culture and a breed? everhy heard o the mix of lios and tigers? look like crap. they are beautiful then the are ligers, i think the call them. Only Dr Frankenstein would praise this. Nihilism and payback.

I am 4/5 dpo (days past ovulation) and starting last night, through the night and so far this morning I've been getting quite frequent but sparadic pains low down, almost like a pinching or a pulling, on the left side of my abdomen, they feel a bit like ovulation pains, but worse. I've never felt this in any of my other cycles. Any clue as to what causes these?

How is the best way of getting picky kids to eat food they havent tried before? My 3 year old daughter will happily eat things she has on a regular basis and knows she likes, but when presented with something new, she's reluctant to try it. I have to bribe her! I've tried giving her dinner and not letting her down until its gone. 2 hours later she's still sat there, only having eaten the part she knows she likes and saying she doesn't like the bit she hasnt even tried before. Iv tried not letting her have anything else unless its eaten, she ends up going to bed with no dinner because she point blank refuses to try any of it. Its so frustrating! I know my attempts might seem harsh, but if i let her get away with it then she'll think she can leave her dinner to have something else every time. What do other parents in similar situations do? I want my daughter to have a more varied diet but seem like im banging my head against a brick wall!

my son is now 6 months and half.He sleeps every night at 11:30 I couldn´t make him sleep earlier.He wakes up at 2 and then at 5 but this isn´t regular.Sometimes he wakes up every hour.I tried to let him cry longer but I couldn´t bare this.I pick him up and rock him till he falls asleep.I used to nurse him everytime he wakes up but I stopped doing this.I use a pacifier and I breastfeed him only when I feel that he is hungry.please help me because I haven´t slept the whole night since delivery.By the way my apartment is small so his bed is in my bedroom.
