Pregnancy & Parenting - 30 January 2007

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and we still don't have a name for our baby. We don't know the sex. Which do you like better?

BOY GIRL
Oskar Mathew Samantha Bliss
Kenyon Joseph Liberty Bliss

Joseph was my grandfather's name, and "OM" are my husband's initials. We just like the sound of the girl names, and would call her "Sammy" for Samantha or "Berty" for Liberty. Thanks for your help!

My daughter has suddenly decided to pitch a fit when I put her in the bathtub. She literaly cries, screams and arches her back when I put her in the bath seat. If I get her in the seat she continues to scream and squirm. I have tried to hold her in the bathtub and not put her in the seat, but that didn't work either. I have resorted to giving her sponge baths. I have two boys (4 and 2) and I never had any trouble bathing them. I would appreciate any help not sarcasm. Any ideas or tips? Thank you!

I have problems with my period. Sometimes I skip 2 months, sometimes even three. I was pregnant 2 years ago with twins and had a miscarriage, and have been trying ever since, but with my ovulation being so messed up it is really hard. The last time I had my period was December 18th. On Janurary 27th I started bleeding but only for a couple of hours and it was dark brown. I took a pregnancy test about a week ago and it was negative, and my boobs don't hurt, and I just need some advice. Why would I only bleed for a couple of hours? My periods usually last about 6 days. I had hormone tests done and one was a little elavated, but everything else was fine. I started having problems with my period after my D&C, and I'm afraid the doctor did something. Although my new obgyn said that she highly doubts I had a botched D&C. She thinks I may have the beginning of PCOS. Anyone have any advice I would really appreciate it

I am at a loss, I tried plain foods, toast, cream of wheat, rice and nothing is settling well in my stomach. I know that when you are pregnant that heartburn is more common, but I didn't expect it this soon, (9 weeks). Please help.

I'm new to this whole claiming people during taxes, so I don't know how things work. My sister and her daughter have lived with me the past year. My sister is 19 and her daughter 15 months old (1 year and 3 months). She hasn't had a job. I have paid for everything for the both of them. Can I claim them as my independents?

I have been feeling very sick to my stomach and showing some signs of early pregnancy. I havent missed my period yet, is there a pregnancy test that I could take now or should I wait. Also what would be a good pregnancy test to use and how much do they cost?

My daughter is 15 months and falls asleep by herself every night with a bottle. Each night she wakes between 12.30 and 2.30am and will not fall back to sleep without another bottle! I have tried different routines - even cutting out her daytime sleep and nothing is working.
She also wakes extremely early in the morning but is still tired.
Please help.

How long did it take you to conceive your first child? I'm planning to try for a baby soon and I'm just curious.

Thanks!

hi. im not trying to be funny or sick. But babies generally put anything they could get hold of in their mouths right? So what if they soiled their beds at night, when their parents are asleep, and started smearing the stuff from beds into their mouths? Cos my mom told me i did that when i was a baby, and i was disgusted. So Is it common that every other babies had once in their lives eat their own crap?

Two nights ago I dreamt that I took 5 positive pregnancy test, not the good kind, but the kind that you get at the dollar store (i know, but i was dreaming so i have no control over what brand my subconsious uses). Last night I dreamt that my boyfriend and I were shopping at home depot buying paint for the nursery, and I was wearing overalls and had a big belly! When all of the sudden, a guy goes to isle 2 and attempts to rob the clerk. My boyfriend is a cop, so I nudge him and point to isle 2 and tell him to "call it in" and he goes over there and intervenes and is able to get the gun, and save the day! Home Depot is SO happy that we apprehended the bad guy they offer to build and decorate our nursery!

What would you gather from these dreams. He and I have been together off & on for 5 years, and have been ON and great for the last 8 months. No wedding bells yet, and i'm not pregnant (that I know of, and too soon to tell even if i were)

My almost 5 mo. old has been whining a lot lately. It seems like she might be teething since she's usually a very easy-going baby. She doesn't really seem to have any other symptoms besides the continual whining (such as excessive drooling, rosey cheeks, fever, etc.) Does it sound like she might be teething? Or could she just be going through a whiney stage?

my 10 month old has got this nasty smelling watery diarrhea that just started this morning. He's gone through 6 diapers so far, but he hasn't got a fever and he acts just like he does any other day. I have some pedialyte and everything, but if he isn't like fever sick then why does he have that diarrhea? He hasn't been vomiting or had any other symptoms.
