Pregnancy & Parenting - 1 February 2007

I have 4 and 5 yr old boys, and have been giving them baths together since they were 1 and 2. They splash each other and spray themselves with bath foam, play with ships, etc. They have a blast. The main reason they still share baths is because it saves time and water. I also have a n 8 month old baby, so I am usually pretty busy. I have been thinking of giving them separate baths, but tried it once, and the 4 yr old wasn't having as much fun. I am not sure if this is okay, if it will mess them up later in life? Can anyone enlighten me on this subject? Parents especially.

I am having several possible signs/symptoms of pregnancy - fatigue, cravings, sore breasts, etc. I am five days late at this point. I took a home preg. test this morning and result was negative. I have been so exhausted for the past week or more. I have been having a lot of cravings recently and sore breasts started about two weeks ago (they aren't as sore now as they were). We've been trying for a baby for nine months now. Any ideas on what's going on with my body?

Have you ever done it?
If yes - are you glad you did? Do you regret it now?
If not - Would you if it were recommended? Why/Why not?

Alydaeus? I want a unique name for my daughter, and Alydaeus suits her. She can go by Aly for short :). I really don't like the popular names, and this name just make her seem so unique and special :). What do you think of the name?

I had unproctected sex 6 months ago.
I was on birth control and he didnt 'come' while we were together (we only had sex for like 20 seconds).
I've had my period every month since then, on time and I dont recall having sympotms.
I took a pregnanct test at 3:30 in the afternoon 3 months ago that came out negative.

And about that same time (3 months), I had a PAP Smear.

So with all that being said, my question is: Do you think I could still be pregnant?
And could my doctor have detected pregnancy in me if i were 3 months along?

Thank you.

xoxo.

I was told that it increases bonding with the baby if you poke your stomach when it kicks you so I figured that if I prodded my stomach that the baby would kick back but it's not. Should it?

It's been about 7 days now, and I'm becoming concerned with my body and what it's doing.
I've never had sex, but my boyfriend and I got a little close a few weeks ago. We both had underwear on, so I don't see how I could be pregnant, but I think the guilt's overcoming me and I'm all worried now.
My PROBLEM is that I'm in the middle of my cycle, around hte time I ovulate, but I feel different than the other times I've ovulated. I've had hard ovulations before, but I'm not sure what this is.
I am having abdomen flutters, which were pretty bad a few days ago, I had a little back pain and tiredness. I also felt a little nauseous, but I've never thrown up. These symptoms are also on and off.
Could I be making myself have pregnancy symptoms? My period isn't for a few more weeks, so I really have no idea what I should do!
Any advice that you could give me would be great!
And please don't tell me I'm stupid for thinking I'm pregnant.

I am 11 weeks pregnant with my first baby, and there are two ladies at work that are VERY nosey and are trying to find out if I am pregnant.

They told other people they think I am pregnant because I have been sick and barely eating for weeks, plus I had to take a half day to go to the OB and they assumed it was a doctors appointment.

Now I just caught one looking at my calender on my wall to see if I had anything marked down! I have another appointment next week so they will know when I take a half day.

I know I am being petty, but its my business and I don't have to tell until I am ready.

Were your co-workers nosey about your pregnancy? Should I keep ignorning my nosey co-workers?

How or what should be the deciding factor in the baby's name? They both say that because I automatically get the last, it shouldn't be up to me to have say in the first and middle names. What should I do?

My four month old would never sleep on his back. Switched him to his tummy and found out he sleeps! Realize the association with SIDS...but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. My parents had both of us sleep on our tummies...anyone else?

My son is 5 months old and eats solids 2-3 times a day. Does anybody know how much formula he should still be drinking? We mix his oatmeal with formula. He doesn't seem to like to drink from the bottle anymore, except during the night.

Legal Q In Regards to Child Support?
Long story short: My brother had one night stand with girl and she had a baby. He is a wonderful child and we adore him so. He is 5 now. My brother buys him clothes, jackets, shoes, and takes him out for dinners, entertainment and this all adds up, PLUS he pays for the child support $650. He even has to drive out 2 HOURS to see his kid on weekends.
My family gets to only see our dear nephew 2 DAYS a month. She claims he's always sick, and she wants my brother to come over there to spend time with her and the kid and she makes my brother go on HER job calls. She is using my brother so bad financially and emotionally.
She always threatens legal action to him for NO reason. No one in my family likes her but we give the child everything love attention, care, and buy everything that he needs and he is happy at our home.
My Q in case she pulls a crazy stunt to go to court, what should my brother have receipts, papers, pictures or what in court to prove that he is a good father? HELP!

My fourt month old sometimes screams out or cries really hard while he is sleeping. Like he's having a bad dream. I check on him and he is still sleeping. Anyone else experience this?
