Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 July 2007

I recently divorced and have 3 boys who are going into the 12, 10 & 7 grade. I just sold our house in north jersey and am currently living with a friend in the same town, trying to decide where to move to w/ the little we have to spend. My entire family lives in south jersey and is very supportive. Plus housing is a lot cheaper. But my son is going to be a senior and doesn't want to move out of town. He's very hard to work w/ & I have very little trust in him to allow him to move in with a friend or his father for the yr. I feel that moving would push him over the edge (he blames me for the divorce) and cause more trouble than he is to begin with, but at the same time feel that moving south will give me more support and a better life for my other 2 boys. Waiting another yr to move south will be too expensive. What would you do?

With my firstborn, my son, it was only 4 hours.
I was told that 2nd labors usually are quicker, so I thought it would be a piece of cake...well, that girl took her sweet time...21 HOURS! Oy.

Why is it that when we are humming and then we plug our nose, our humming stops? Do people really hum through their nose, or their mouths?

First we had the name Hope, well actually he picked it out , and I was ok with it because we are so hopefull, but my exes sister was named Hope. It is a nice name though , but i am into more unique names. Like my Daughter's name is Nova her middle name is Celeste, My nieces name is Avery, and thats why I liked the name Azure Rain,or Azura, but Azure i just remembered is some peoples last name here where I live. He wants to name her Kimberly, and I also like the name Alexa. His Daughter's name is Eden, and it is so beautiful to me, Eden Lily,I think that is so nice!!! I want this baby's name to be beautiful, and unique too like Nova, and Eden, and Avery, does anyone have any ideas, anything with great meanings, that counts too!!! We also had the name Lea picked out , but then i met a bunch of people named Lea , and I don't think i want to name my Daughter Lea anymore, I also used to love the name Jasmine, and still do , but I don't want to name her that anymore either!

hello-
my partner and i are trying for our first baby.
we had intercourse before, during and after ovulation days.
AF came almost a week early. it lasted for five days. the discharge was very brown and light, then on day two it was pink with brown still very light. on the third day, i had a bit heavier pink bleeding with more brown (it was not as heavy as my normal flow), for the remaining days, it was mostly very light (still brown with some light pink) and only really appeared when i wiped.
i have never experienced a period quite like this..
i do have tender breasts with some puffyness around the areoles.
i took a first resonse test the day this all started in the afternoon, it was negative. was it taken too early and at the wrong time of day?
could this just be a period or possibly implantation bleeding?
any help would be greatly appreciated = )

About a month ago, a friend of mine had unprotected sex. She was worried about being pregnant, but her period eventually came, so we both figured that she's safe.
Now, she's saying that she has all the symptoms of pregnancy. Before I told her that she was paranoid, but now she has no reason to be paranoid. Could she be pregnant, even though she had her period?

Much thanks for serious answers.
