Pregnancy & Parenting - 9 August 2007

Our last name is Hamilton.

We aren't into anything to off the wall or anything that super popular right now.

The two we have heard are:
Claire Elise
Claire Elizabeth (but I think it sounds better as Elizabeth Claire)

We really wanted Claire as the first name. We also want something that flows well. Thanks in advance!

Last month I forgot to take the last pill in my pack, so I just completely skipped it and started my period 1 day early. Then throughout the month I had sex and my partner ejaculated in me. Throughout the month I was having slight period like pain but not bleeding, tender nipples, pain in my breast, etc. I began thinking I was pregnant so I stopped the pills 3 days early. Therefore I got my period 3 days early. Could that be withdrawl bleeding? Could I be pregnant? Please share any experiences with me. Thanks!

I have never babysat before, but I am good with kids and have done it with a 3 year old but I was never technicall alone. Even though no one was helping me. The family I am babysitting for has a 2 year old and a 10 month old. The 2 year old is supposed to be asleep by the time I get there and I am to just put him back to bed if he wakes up. But, the 10 month old has to be fed and everything. Can anyone tell me what I am supposed to do, how to do it, exc.

I just had a baby shower, and everything was lovely, but I now have about 40 bibs. My husband and I want to know how many bibs we will really need, if we will use that many or if maybe we should return some? How many bibs did you find useful with your children?

Okay I asked a question earlier about possibly getting pregnant in a spa with both people having bathing suits on and thanks for the answers but now I have another question...

If your boyfriend was wearing a speedo type material and had either a pre-ejaculation or a full one, and you (the girl) had your bathing suit on, would you be able to feel the slippery fluid on the outside of your suit in the water if it went through his suit?

Does that make sense? I was just wondering...

I am now 3 days past the day I should have gotten my period. I took a pregnancy test again today, and I still got a negative result. I am not going to buy another test for another week...but I'm just wondering if any other women out there are going through the same thing I am going through.

My older sister is throwing me a baby shower with like 100 people. She told me that she invited my maternal grandmother, who wouldnt know me if she walked into me on the street, my mother chose to uninvolve herself and her own family with her parents about 30 years ago because she was abused a child by her father, not sexually, just physically and mentally, my grandmother chose him over her own children. My mother is going to be hurt and furious when she finds this out, but my older sister thinks she is being a peacemaker and wants my grandmother to know her children. I agree with my mom and think that if she couldnt involve herself in my life as a child then why should i involve my child with her? Am I being unreasonable, I just feel bad for my mom??

My almost 12 yo wants to put blonde highlights in her hair, but being a victim of high priced hair myself, I know what a costly commitment this is. I see other girls her age with weaves and highlights, and I feel they are just too young to be changing their color already. Am I out of touch and being too strict? BTW, her current hair color is a beautiful shade of auburn that I have never seen duplicated from a bottle.

We have been together for ten years and I have always said that I don't want children. He used to want them but I think I changed his mind. Now I realised that I want it so bad. What can I do. I have told him my feelings and he said that he would like to one day but not yet, but I feel the clock is ticking.

Because redheads have a mutated gene thus there red hair and the introdution of black genes would make the child extra frail and would have a short life expectancy........

He says this is 100% true and non racist but actual genetics.....

I am not sure if he said that because I like this redhead at work or because he is trying to be helpful.........even though it is hurtful......

He said black men should have kids with blondes or brunnets....

Does hair color do anything with pregancy in the first place and does it affect interracial relationships with black guys?

I hear all of these people say that letting babies cry is cruel. I think that it was the best way to teach my daughter how to sleep in her crib. For the first couple nights I would give her a bath and then put her down in her crib and she would cry for about 10-15 min and then she would fall asleep and sleep ALL NIGHT!! Then after a couple of nights everytime I put her down she would always be awake but she would NEVER cry and fall asleep all on her own. She is 3 months old. Now I don't understand why people are saying that it is mean and cruel. I know letting your child cry is not easy (it was awful for me) but now she knows its bedtime and she knows that she is not going to have mommy running in and out because she is crying, she knows that she has to go to sleep and she does. Does anybody agree with me or is it just me? I don't need rude comments, everybody raises there children differently so I really do not want to hear about what a bad mother I am for letting my baby cry!!

I'm only about 15 weeks, and I'm already bursting out of most of my normal sized bras. I was thinking of getting the next size up, but should I wait? Will they get even bigger? Will they ever be their original size again?
