A co-worker of mine is pregnant and due in November. She was wondering what a unique and fun gift to give her husband for his "first year" as a father. Any ideas?

Alright we have been TTC for over a year now we are both healthy and able to conceive but haven't yet. Well this month I got AF on Monday but the odd thing is it wasn't normal where it is usually really heavy it was very minimal bleeding Tuesday extremely light bleeding and then stopped for second part of the day Wednesday again very very light bleeding and then again stopped and now NOTHING at all. I am still bloated which goes away after the first day same with boob tenderness which I still have as well. My AF lasts no less than 5 days and is always heavy the first two to three days so this happening is throwing me off. I think it is too late for implantation bleeding, but I don't know why all these things are happening. Has anyone been through this before? What was the outcome, what could cause this? Anyone that can help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I watch a toddler during the day and he bites me and my son when he gets mad or frustrated. I want to talk to her and figure out a solution together but don't know what to say. The thing that makes him bite the most is when he wants a toy my son has. I can't afford to buy two of all toys and don't have the space anyway.

ok, so she has a 8 month old who poops and cries more than any kid i have ever seen and a 3 year old with a laundry list of behavioral problems, some of which are that she chews up my son's toys and abuses my animals at evey opprotunity. these are not easy kids to take care of. but she has a minimum wage job and recieves assistance and i don't want to ask for too much. i need the money for my own family. how much is fair? i have them about 3 days a week for 4-6 hours a day. i would say about 14 hours a week. i was thinking about $80 a week. is that too much? that is $5.71 an hour for both kids. most daycares charge arround $12 an hour for 2 siblings. (i actually did some research) see she thought the county would pay her childcare but now they have denied her eligability and we need to discuss payment. i think any less would be not worth it to me.

This may sound silly but I would like to know...Where do you take the temp?? Do you put it in your vagina or is it by mouth?
Please keep all rude comments to your self.
Thanks in advance:)

Some more details. I have been told that it is a personality thing that there is nothing I can do about. He gets very intense when it comes to eating, freaks out when I put the bib on him (takes only a few seconds) and reacts somewhat angrily when the bottle is removed for only a few seconds. The way I see this behavior is that the more he does it, the more it makes his belly upset.

I don't think it has anything to do with the mechanics of his bottle or the way I hold him, etc. I really believe it is pshychological on his part. If he is gassy, I give him myelicon, which seems to help with that. I burp him often and keep a schedule on his feedings, make sure he his diaper is changed etc. Sometimes it looks like he tries to eat more than he can handle as he will down 8oz. and get upset at bottle removal even AS he is spitting up! Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!

Whenever I cook a real dinner, he refuses to eat any of it, saying he doesnt like whatever it is I've prepared. I know he likes these things as he's had them and enjoyed them before. He expects a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or Chef Boyardee instead of what everyone else is eating.. On top of this, he frequently asks for snacks between meals, which are regualrly refused on my end.
It's nealry impossible to get him to eat anything other than junk food without him pulling the "Gagging" routine. My husband doesnt seem to think this is a big problem and I end up getting frustrated and yelling at the the boy. What should I do?

Im having a problem being able to fit two booster seats (with backs) and an infant car seat in the back of my car. Buying a different car is not an option.

Im wondering if anyone knows where I can get a rear facing infant car seat that is 15-16.5 inches in width?? I can only find ones that are 18-23 inches and width.

Web site or store information would be helpful.

My son is 1 year old and is currently an even 23 pounds and 30 inches. He needs a new outgrowing car seat.
The question is what to get next. We obviously want the safest option (NTHSA Requirement) and not too expensive.
Is there anything we need to be concerned about?
What models should we be looking at? Any suggestion?

I'm hoping I'm pregnant with my first child and I'm starting to think that me hoping so much is having me believe that I'm having some early pregnancy symptoms. My period should be here around next the 20th or so. To start with I've had abdominal discomfort continuously all week (not painful, just a different feeling) and now I just feel something in the region under my navel. I also think my breasts feel harder than usual although they are not very sore. I'm also exhausted, have been having some headaches and sometimes feel slightly lightheaded/nausea. Could these be early pregnancy symptoms or is my hope and feeling taking over?

I was excited to get my first ultrasound last Thursday. Is my first pregnancy and i was told i would miscarry. I started to bleed last tuesday very light and it got heavy by the fourth day and it lasted heavy for two days. It's been light since then but yesterday and today i stopped bleeding. Can this be a sign that i won't miscarry or does the bleeding come & go? I was told that 90% i would miscarry and i have been dealing with the grief since i found out. I don't want to get my hopes up since i've stopped bleeding. I know everyone's experience is different but it would help to know your experience. How long doesn't it take to miscarry? Did you stop bleeding at some point during the transaction? I pray everyday as well as my family that it won't happen. The man above is the only one that can decided and i will praise him even if i lose my unborne child. I was just hopeing your experience will help me.
