Pregnancy & Parenting - 25 January 2007

I'm a 32 year old stay at home dad. My wife got pre-eclapsia and had to deliver at 29 weeks. I sold out my business and did the back and forth from the hospital for 11 weeks. Mom and baby are fine now. I was just wanting to get some advise from some of you guys. Life, Love, Money, Health - You name it. I just wanted some input.

I was chatting to my friend today and she said her 4 year old is weeing herself 6 times a day for the last few weeks. There has been some past problems in her life, what with a new baby coming to the family and parents splitting up for a while, and starting school, but all this happened last year and now things have settled and gone back to normal. Mum and dad are back together and seem happy, baby is now 8 months, school is ok, and now this!! mum doesn't know where to begin in addressing the problem. when she told me I immediately thought the worse, like child abuse coming from somewhere in this little girls life and that is her reaction to it, but Im no expert. What do u all think?

My sister has tried to have a child and has had many miscarriages. The doctor told her that her womb was weak and it isn't strong enough to hold the baby in there for a whole pregnancy term. I am considering being a surrogate mother for her, but I am not sure what all it takes to do so and what the requirements are before I tell her, so I can make sure that I can do it. This is serious and I don't need any stupid jokes. Serious answers only please. Thank you!

At around 10 weeks old, my mother in law thought it would be a good idea to try giving my son rice cereal at night. We did this for about a week when I noticed that he was crying really sharply at night. I stopped feeding it to him about three weeks ago, but the crying continues. He stays home with my husband while I work, and my husband says he only sleeps 2-3 hours during the day, consisting of 15-30 minute naps. He sleeps a lot more when I am home on the weekends (longer naps). Also, we have him on the Enfamil Gentlease to help him digest formula better. Sometimes I think he has gas, so I give him Mylicon, but that doesn't seem to work for him. Is it possible I affected his digestive system giving him the rice cereal too early, or is he just exhausted at night?

Im working as a special ed. parapro I am one on one with a little girl who is severly hanicapped. I NOW work with her for 7 hours a day. I only get a half an hour lunch. I began working with her bymyslef then they brought in someone to help me, in the middle of the school year they moved this person to work strictly elemntary, and they hired a girl that they didnt know was pregnant, she called in the week she had to start working saying that the doctor ordered bedrest. So now im stuck with her by myslef. I bene having all kinds of mixed feelings about the whole situation. I am angry, upset, and basically really emotional. I dont get breaks just my half an hour of lunch.My personal life isnt all that great either, I'm 19 a sinlge mom and Im attending college in the afternoon. So i hardly see my child. What should I do about my situation at work. Im embarrassed to let my supervisor know how I feel because I been holding in my emotions for a long time.

How are pregnancy months calculated? For example, are you considered 2 months when you complete the 4th week and are "in" your 2nd month, or is it only after the 8th week is completed?

Iam haveing a blues clues birthday party for my soon to be 2 year old son. He loves blues clues and I've already gotten the whole blues party pack with plates and balloons and gift acks. I've found a few blues clues items for him. My question is what kind of activities is there for kids his age to do. The age ranges of the kids at the party who can participate will be from 1-4.

I have thought about getting some construction paper and cutting out paw prints and hiding them and having like a hunt for the most pawprints.

I've seen the pin the paw on blue but it isn't something that would keep the focus of these kids. Any suggestions???

My mother-in-law passed away about four years ago. Like anyone else, my sister-in-law has a picture of her on the shelf. She and her husband occasionally will show the pic to their 2yr old daughter and say "Sydney, this is grandma Sybil". They do this so she'll know who she is since she died before Sydney was born. They'll also ask "Syndey, where's Grandma Sybil?", and she points to the front door or the stairs, not to the picture. Do you think she's seeing something we're not?

About two weeks ago, at the end of my cycle, I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend (Yes, I know that was stupid. No lectures, please!). I have been on a tricyclin birth control pill for about 7 years and was off the pill when this happened. I was supposed to go back on it the next day, but, to my forgetfulness, I was out. Three days later, I got my annual exam done and got a new brand of pills - a monocyclin. I started that pill four days later. My concern is, obviously, the likelihood that I could be pregnant. During the past week, I have been nauseous, my lower back hurts, I'm exhausted and I've had a few headaches here and there. The nausea is accompanied with dizziness, come out of nowhere, and have happened twice this week, both early in the morning. I know the pill can cause some strange reactions, but this pill is much less potent (half the size of my old one, for one thing) than the pill I was on before. My moods are crazy, I feel like I'm PMS-ing. So, any thoughts? Thanks.

I'm 6 months pregnant and still having severe morning sickness and have some concerns. Is it normal for milk to spoil in your stomach and come up as chunks in less than an hour? And (sorry, this is gross) how long does it take for the nutrients in food to be absorbed? If the vomit is mostly liquid, does this mean that the nutrients have already been taken out by my body? I'm worried that my baby is not getting what she needs due to my morning sickness/all day long sickness.

My son told me the other day he hates life. I asked him why he said nothing. Then he said he wants to kill himself by putting his finger in a light socked. I'm taking him to get help once a week. I just wanted to know if there is any ideas on how to take care of a kid like this.

Everyone wanted me to be having another boy. Well it is another girl. Everyone seems disappointed. It seems as if nobody cares about this pregnancy or this baby since she is a girl. I have 2 other girls. I feel like it would be better if I didn't have her. I am not going to do anything stupid and hurt her or me. Is it wrong for me to feel like I failed somehow?? Please no rude answers. This is already something I feel guilty about. Thanks
