Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 June 2007

My 8 month old will spend 1/2 an hour or less at our pool and want to go home. She has a couple of floats and theres really nowhere I can like lie her down or put her so unless we're in the pool she basically has to sit on my lap on a lawn chair or I have to hold her. Any advice on what else I can do with her?

I considered bringing her pack n play with toys and a sunshade but their so expensive and I don't know if she'll even use it.

I have a a 4 week old baby and he's always miserable. He's always complaining and crying. He just wants to be carried all day and even when he's being carried, he's still complaining. There's nothing wrong with him, he's changed, fed, and I can't think of anything else he's just completely miserable. My daughter was never like this when she was a baby and I'm not used to him crying 24/7. Is anyone else going through this?

I am so torn right now. Maybe it's because my 37th b-day is in a few days. I am hoping you all can help me shed a little light on what I should do next.

My hubby and I have been married for 4 years, dating for over 5. He is now 47 and I am about to turn 37. We have a pretty good relationship. I am the primary breadwinner. He has a spinal neck fusion and is on disability. He stays home and cares for the house and our animals. He does an OK job. He's not Suzy Homemaker! LOL But we don't live in filth or anything. He can be cluttered at times.

I have a 12 year old daughter from a previous lesbian relationship (10 years). My "daughter" is not mine biologically or legally, but her mother and I share "custody" and maintain a good relationship. So my daughter is with us quite frequently. She is technically an only child. Her biological mother cannot have any more children and doesn't want any. She can't wait til our daughter is 18 and on her own!!! Seriously!

Ok so my fiance and I have decided on
Mackenzie Anne for a girl or
Devin Alfred for a boy
either way, these are the names we are going with, I was just curious what the general public thought and be honest...

Im not to keen on the Alfred but Anne is my deceased grandmother and Alfred is his deceased grandfather so...it works :)

Can anyone suggest a feeding schedule fo a 5 month old? How much, how often. We are just starting on fruits and veggies. Dr, says 3 tbls TOTAL a day (half cereal and half fruit or veg), and four 6 oz bottles a day. Doesn't seem enough to me. What worked for you?

My 3 year old son interrupts everybody & it's driving us all crazy! Is he just too young to understand this concept? no one can talk without him getting in their face and trying to talk to them. We've tried all sorts of things & nothing works. Any ideas?

Yes, I mean 22 year old. I was in a controlled environment and realize how wierd it is to have a curfew(which was 1 o clock). The rule was, "if you live in this house, you abide by the rules" or you leave. I was a good girl in school and thought messed up but abided by the "rule".
I ended up being really rebellious and still am on the wild side at 30 and I believe it is due to living in such a strict environment, which included not being able to go to parties, or even work.

What curfew do you impose or had imposed on you as a 16-18 year old (I am not going to ask about curfew for 22 b/c it's ridiculous!)? And how do you parent and how were you parented in regards to the above.

Hi!I'm on my 29th week now and i'm a little worried that we still don't have a car just in case I needed to go to the hospital any time from now until the 40th week. My husband and I are planning on purchasing one but he wants to pay in cash and not thru financing. He wants to save as much until the last minute before he goes out and buys one. I've heard of pregnant women deliver as early as on their 26th week and my worry is what if the time to deliver if anytime soon. How can we get to the hospital? Will the hospital nurse allow us to bring home our baby in a cab? How can I convince him to start looking for one now?
