Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 January 2007

I'm working at a putt putt and my job on saturday & sundays is to be a party captain. So i am in charge of entertaining little kids from the ages of 7-10ish for an hour, i do the cake, ice cream, and presents but i was wanting to know some good games for all the kids to play too. During this hour i have them all in a small room so i cant really have them running around because they'd probably just hurt themselves lol so what are some games i could play w/them that they would really enjoy? i dont want to make some kids birthday party suck...so help me please!!

How old should our newborn be before we let him use a pacifer? He was born on January 19th. I am breastfeeding him and he's been having problems latching on.

If so, how long did it take you to get pregnant and what method did you use (i.e. IVF, Metformin, Clomid)? Did the doctor tell you to do anything special to get pregnant (i.e. lay upside down)?

I'm just about due and I hear all sorts of stories about 4x4ing and castor oil. Is there a safe way to help things along some?

Just wondering i recently bought a OPK and i was wondering if there was any chance of it getting a positive reading and I really wasn't ovulating. And if it says I'm ovulating does it necessarily mean that it is a good egg or no. I'm really worried because I have been trying for a long time and no luck except for a miscarriage in June.

Thanks in advance!

I have a 2 year old little boy that We (my husband & I) can not get to sleep in his own bed. He was very sick as a child, and my husband and I would allow him to sleep with us. We live in a Very long Trailer house..being our first child I just did not feel comfortable allowing him to sleep in his bedroom because we are at one end of the house and his bedroom is at the other end. We now have his matress from his crib down beside our bed, but the only thing is, he never sleeps on his matress and if he does go to sleep and we put him on it, he is usually up by 3 or 4 and in bed with us..
I need some help and maybe a little guidance from someone that has been in the situation and maybe can offer some kind of suggestions.......

Anyone know of any good books or websites devoted to step-parents, specifically stepmoms? I have a 9 year old stepson and am constantly looking for ways to improve our already amazing relationship. Just curious - I have a hard time tracking down books dealing with this subject that aren't negative. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

My seven month old (who obviously can't walk yet), stands on his tip toes. We took him to the doctor, who reassured us that he does not have Cerebral Palsy, and informed us that he most likey has a short Achilles Tendon. We are going to take him to physical therapy. Has anyone else's children had this condition, and if so, any advice? How long does it usually take to be able to stand flat footed? Does it typically delay walking? Did you child completely recover from the tio toe stance?

once an absentee dad is served with child support papers that say he has 20 days to begin paying or to respond for a hearing, what happens if he does NOT ask for a hearing but also does not start paying. Do they start garnishing wages instantly, or do they send him to jail? Or do they do anything at all?

my son was diagnosed with a.d.h.d. his major problem is concentration/focusing. i do not have a problem with him at home other than normal hardheadedness for a boy. he is a active child. i do NOT want im on adhd medication as i tried it 2 days and i just did NOT like seeing him "high" on medication. i dont feel i should medicate my son to be in school. i switched him to another school today he starts a new one tomorrow and im hoping that will work (the difference is he is going gto a school with 300 kids instead of his recent school with 800 kids and teachers that just are there to "teach". his teacher had NO patience, and would constantly COMPLAIN about my son not keeping up in class.
he takes better tests 1 on 1 , / with less distraction. he is EASILY distracted. i asked the school could he take a test alone / or in another room and they said no. . so anyways i switched him today but i heard of some good herbs/ that are great with adhd. any response is greatly appreciated.

With the weather being cold I don't like taking my son out in just socks on his feet. He is taking a few steps so I would like to get him shoes for a reasonable price. Problem is I can't get them on his feet. Even the ones that are a size or two bigger. I guess he curls his toes and resists, and no matter how I try to force I can't get them on. Any tips?

Okay, personal question kind of. Did any of you have a hard time going to the bathroom?? ( just peeing ) im 30 weeks, and it hurts a lot, not vaginally, but lower belly wise. It hurts to the point that i will make a moaning sound, hold my breathe or grab on to something. It makes me not want to go but obviously i have to!! The pain is in my lower stomache right in the middle. I know i don't have a UTI because i just got tested last week for one, and this has been going on for about a week and a half... any with info?
