Pregnancy & Parenting - 24 August 2007

I know I shouldn't be complaining...BUT...

Tonight my mom made a stir fry for dinner. I was fine with it. I would just pick out the meat. But she put so much meat in it that I can't even pick it out! (I'm vegetarian, and she knows it.) My parents don't respect me AT ALL. Today I wanted to shop at Hot Topic. My mom wouldn't let me buy a shirt from there for 28 bucks (not as expensive at AE, where I can buy anything), but yet my sister got a shirt and two pairs of pants, all equaling around 40 bucks. She said, "Come on, Erika, I want to get outta here!" She said it loud enough for everyone to hear and I was SOOO embarrassed! She doesn't understand it! And then when I tell her I like something, she says, "Eww, it's black!" No sh!t it's black! She buys me all of these preppy things, and I hate it. I tell her that I'm not broken and she can't fix me, but she doesn't understand that! She doesn't accept me for who I am AT ALL. How do I deal with this?!

I have a friend and her name is Alexandra and her husband's name is Mason so they named their baby Malandra because it is a combination of their names. Do you like the name Malandra?

My husband's name starts with a "B" and mine starts with an "M". We're planning to have a baby and we like the child to have 2 names that starts with the first letters of our names. It doesn't matter which letter comes first though. Were gathering name combinations for the soon-to-be fruit of our love.

My two favorites from my son, now 3 & 1/2...

1) We had only lived in Louisiana for a few years. Our house is in a wooded area. My son was about a yr and a half. He was looking outside through the screen door. He yelled with excitement, "Mommy, it's an ALLIGATOR!!" I came running in a panic only to see a little green lizard attached to our screen door! LOL

2) It was bedtime in our house, but my son, 2 & 1/2 by this time, was stalling. My husband told him it was time to pick up his toys. He very matter of factly said, "Daddy...I have a better idea. Why don't YOU pick up my toys, and Mommy can read to me." He was so serious that neither one of us could help but to laugh!

Love to hear your stories too!

My daughter got her shots yesterday and has since been running a fever. I have been keeping it under control with tylenol. ( I talked to my child's doctor about it first though).... However, this evening she has become dehydrated a little bit (and her soft spot has sunk).. I called the doctor about it a little while ago, and they told me to get some pedialyte. When I did the dosage on the bottle does not have it for a baby that young. My doctors office has already closed for the weekend, so I thought I would ask you what you all thought. I was guessing like 1-2 oz. every 4 hours or so, on top of her regular feedings... But I am not totally sure that if that is too much or not enough... Thank You.....

Whenever I feed my 4 month old baby banana or apple baby food, she gets a facial rash, and today I saw she had little tiny red bumps all over her torso after eating apple baby food. Is it b/c of the potassium? If I feed her 1/2 the jar, she's fine but if I feed her the whole jar, she gets a rash. There are no other symptoms, and she doesn't seem to be sick. She does fine with pear baby food & vegetable baby food. I know to ask my baby's doctor, and I am going to the next time I see him. I was just wondering if anyone else had this experience and what caused it? Thanks.

I mean I know what's its for, but everytime I put my 3 month old on his tummy, he j ust lays there. I know he has a lot of strength in his back and neck so I'm not worried about it, But he kind of just lays there with his head on the floor and stares at the TV. He doesn't move or anything. I usually hear that babies hate tummy time but my newbron seems to like just laying on his stomach and not move. How can I get him to move around and stuff?

My baby is 15 days old now. I had her at 35 weeks 6 days of pregnancy.She weighed 5 lbs. 6 oz. Immediately after birth she had trouble breathing and had to be transported to a hospital 30 miles away in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit). She's home now and eating and breathing fine. She now weighs 6 lbs. 3 oz. Share your experiences with me.

The Dr told me that I need urgent to get my cervix closed and I should stay in the hospital for few days getting ready for cerclage (?) Is it dangerous surgery and why it is necessary to stay in bed constantly for the rest of my pregnancy (almost 4 months more!) - it shouldn't be good for my body and probably for the baby, also, if I don't move for the next 4 months... I don't know if they would allow me to start my University in October - they told me to forget my study... But I really don't feel that anything wrong either with me or my baby - but the Dr says, that I should follow his instructions and I, of course, doing so... But may be someone else had similar experience and would explain me more about this case?...
