Hellooo. I'm 19 weeks pregnant, with my first.. a boy. I feel him flutter and move around on a regular basis, just wondering when I will actually get to see him kick like everybody talks about? Thanks

Does your vagina return back to its original size after giving birth or is it stretched out permanently? Just curious.

My 3-month old daughter has found her hands. This is a great thing but now she won't stop rubbing her eyes! I'm afraid she will scratch her eyes or blind herself. We've taken her to the doctor's and all they said was to put mittens on her. She gets out of them within seconds though! Is there any other way to get her to stop?

Hi i have a little girl who is 2 in April. She has not been very well, she has had this cold that has been around, and still getting teeth. She has been a lot better today but the problem is she has started to get out of bed at night and tonight she did not want to go to sleep, and kept getting up after i had read her a story and put her to bed. She shares a room with my 4 year old daughter and it wakes her up 2. I think it has become a habbit getting up as she has been unwell. Does anyone else have this problem ? Any advice ?

Just hearing the words "baby daddy" makes me cringe. Big time. It's disgusting. I would go crazy if I grew up with only a mother. This country is in a serious ethical decay right now and I hope it improves again someday. A child needs to be born in the structural security of wedlock. In recent decades when people suddenly decided "hey it's ok to screw around and bring children into fatherless homes" then it caused nothing but a cycle of trouble that plagues our country as a social disease. A child needs a father and mother to be role models, raise them, and teach them right from wrong. When people have children out of wedlock they are being selfish by harming the kids who have to suffer from fatherless homes, and towards everyone else too because it's bad for our society. You think with all the trouble this has caused people would've already woken up but too many people still just don't get it.

My 18 month old godson is throwing tantrums....I watch him full time while mom and dad are at work, what are some things you have done to correct this. As of now, we sit him on the stairs and ignore him while his tantrum progresses, as a timeout sort of. It seems to kind of work, but the whole ignoring him thing is the only thing we have done so far. Sometimes when he throws a tantrum (generally because he was told no or can't have our food, etc) I get down on his level and hold his hands and firmly (not yelling) look at him and say, "You are fine, no need to yell at us" and sometimes it seems to work as well. What are some experiences you have had with similar situations.

My husband and I just moved to Washington state (he's in the army). He doesn't spend time as a family when he is home, but yet he wants me to have the energy to go out and do things I don't necessarily think are fun, in public, which seems to be the only place where he will act like a parent. Our daughter, Danielle, is 10 months old. Why is he so hung up on us doing "memorable" things outside the house when he can't even be a memorable parent at home? He wants us to drive out to the ocean, even though it's cold and rainy and a 1 and 1/2 hour drive, and nothing to do for a baby there. Why can't he just go do these things himself? Does he not get that Danielle is still really young and would benefit more from just spending time with him at the park or from him reading her a story or taking her for a walk and talking to her? I feel bad for not wanting to do things like this when it is so cold. He complains that he's going to miss everything. Yet he passes up opportunities everyday?

And I always have pains in my crotch area. I tried looking it up but all I found was that it could be that the baby dropped. But this has been goin on for weeks now. Can anyone tell me if this is normal or not?

She is not the best drawer and I would say that she is more abstract. She does have a very good eye for fashion and can draw that way. I want to continue to encourage her and get her materials that she can use. And something to keep her thinking about this options seriously.

Thank you to anyone who can help or give suggestions.

She does it at bed time, every time she is tired or upset. Also when she rides in her stroller and has nothing better to do.

Any suggestions? TIA
