My husband has twins on BOTH sides of his family. When I went to my doctor, i was 5 weeks 5 days pregnant. But my uterus felt 7 weeks along. Does this mean anything? Or I am just getting worried for nothing.

Thanks

Annan Joseph (AJ) or Tiernan Joseph (TJ)

The Initial nickname is just an option. I will call him by his full first name, his father most likely by the initial nickname.

Annan means "from the brook"

Tiernan means "lord"

Joseph is a family name on both sides and means "Jehovah increases"

Which do you like better?


For a second son, first son is Caiden Michael and daughter is Brynna (Br-in-a) Elizabeth.


The last name is Hart.

I don't get it. She's not overweight and enjoys the same stuff as other kids her age -- Bratz dolls, Spongebob, playing with her friends, soccer, splashing at the water park and yet she loves and I mean LOVES Richard Simmons.

She made me TIVO a couple of his infomercials which she likes to watch as we get her dressed and I comb her hair in the morning.

She drew a picture of Richard and asked me if I could mail it to him a couple weeks ago. I pretended to, so now she watches the mail everyday looking to see if she got a letter back from him.

Her Dad suggested we write her a pretend letter so she'll stop looking.

When I ask her why she likes Richard so much she gives a vague answer like, "he's happy" or "he's funny"

But a lot of people that come on TV are "happy" and even funnier than him. So I can't figure out why is she fixating on the guy that does Sweating to the Oldies! It's so weird!

Does your CM give you any hint as to if you are pregnant or not? I am only on Day 23--too early to test. Monitor said i ovulated about 9 days ago. I was reading in Conceive Magazine that if you are not preggo, your progesterone levels drop rapidly, causing sticky/tacky CM. Yet, i have read some people's previous answers and it looks like some girls have had the sticky CM and were indeed pregnant. Can any of your pregnant women out there tell me what you experienced if you noticed?

to understand how to just lay down in our bed in rest. He's sick and I wouldn't mind him just resting beside us so we can keep an eye on him but he's always so restless....I'm sure its because he thinks he can only sleep in a crib.

Anyone else have a little one like this?

My first child was an emergency c-section my second was planned. I feel like I wasn't able to give birth and it's caused me a lot of sadness. I have feelings of being a failure and less of a person sometimes. When I hear of other people having natural births I feel envious and sad that my experience was so traumatic. Has anyone that has had a c-section experienced these types of feelings? If so how did you work through them?

My 4 year old daughter constantly screams at the top of her lungs. It's not because she's throwing a temper tantrum and I don't honestly think she does it to get attention. It's one of those shrill high pitched screams. I've tried about everything except putting soap in her mouth to get her to stop. I don't want to resort to putting soap in her mouth. She's only 4. I've given her time outs, I've taken things from her that are very dear to her heart. I've put her in the corner. I've even swatted her bottom (which I try to use as a last resort.) She doesn't scream outside. Its only INSIDE, in the house! I've tried about a million different ways of explaining the difference between indoor voices and outdoor voices and I KNOW she understands. I think she does this just because she likes the sound of her own scream, however, MY EARS CAN'T TAKE ANYMORE! PLEASE HELP ME!! if you have any other methods, PLEASE. PLEASE let me know! Thank you!

Okay, I am just about 35 weeks pregnant with my second son, and my oldest son is 15 months old. For the past several weeks, my son will come up to me, get in between my legs, either touch my belly, or lay on it, and he starts crying. I mean he does this ALL the time. I don't know if he's jealous of the new baby coming, or if he just really wants to see his brother or what. Has anyone heard of anything like this? If so,please give me some insight. I am going nuts trying to figure out why he's behaving like this. He's generally not a big crier, only when he's at my belly. Help!

According to my first sono I am now currently 33 weeks pregnant and my due date is August14th. According to my period I am 35 weeks pregnant and my due date would be August3rd. People stop me whenever I am out, ask me when I'm due and look at me as if i have 5 heads when i tell them not until august 14th then say "honey youre not going to make it, that baby has to come before then!" (august 14th) I'm also measuring as of today 36cms from pubic bone to fundus, and have always measured about 2 or 3 weeks farther then what my obgyn is telling me. (ex 32cms when i was 29 weeks) i thought they were supposed to be the same?? (ex 35 weeks 35cms) i wanna hear ppls opinions! thankyouuu

My son is 5 and daughter is 9.. Is this too early for them to be without me full-time? The father wants to fight for full custody. My kids keep saying they want to live with me as well. I don't want to do any emotionally dammage to them and I hope he doesn't end up winning in court because I want them with me full-time.
