Pregnancy & Parenting - 26 August 2007

I'm 19 and I have been living with the love of my life for 6 months, we want to get married in a few years and possibly start a family after that. The doctor says that if I don't conceive within a year or so, I probably won't be able to due to a medical condition. My boyfriend and I want a family of our own, but now we dont know what to do. Should we start ttc now and if we do succeed then say that it was meant to happen and if not well then we'll adopt in the future? Please help me..I'm so confused here! We will be able to support a child if we did conceive, and our families understand the situation 100%, so they wouldnt be mad at all!! Any responses are greatly appriciated!

my cousin is having her 2nd child, both are boys. We are throwing her another baby shower considering all her sons former baby stuff was burnt in their house fire. she's had a horrible pregnancy, a lot of suffering and a lot of pain, we want to make the shower a fun and amusing day for her, so i'm looking for some unique games to play at the baby shower. We played the melted candy bars in the daiper and you have to figure out what candy bar is in the diaper at my shower, so what others besides that can we play.

I'm 8 weeks pregnant, not showing at all and very sedentary these days because of bad morning sickness. Yet I feel short of breath throughout the day and right now my resting heart rate is 100 (beats per minute). I have not done anything to exert myself. Is this normal??

We had another couple and their 10 month old over for dinner last night. Once she found out that we haven't offered our daughter (not quite 4 months) solids yet, and don't plan to until 6 months, she wouldn't let off on telling me to give her baby food. Even after hours of me quoting current medical research and defending our reasons, she still tried to give my daughter apples when she was feeding her son! I had to take my daughter and go outside for a while, I was so livid. At bedtime, I just went in the nursery with the baby until they left. This woman is constantly doing this - she bottlefeeds but she gives me breastfeeding advice!! Needless to say we are no longer going to spend time with them, but in the future, how do you get people to shut up about stuff like that? I tried to politely tell her we feel differently and change the subject, but it didn't work. How do you handle people like that??

Just the name a few:
-tries to flush the puppy in the potty
-hits and bites animals and people
-screams at me
-acts like he is going to hit me
-pushes his 10 mth old brother around by the head
-dumps 1/2 gallon of milk in the toliet
-pours syrup on the carpet
-moves his head back and forth really fast making loud obnoxious noises
-does NOT listen
-destructive of his toys (breaks them)
-stuffs things into his brothers mouth
-throws things (example: my cell phone at the deli lady, his shoes in the fountain at the zoo...)

I am constantly around him. I don't know what to do! I am about to lose my mind! It isn't like he does one of these things each day. It's usually back to back all day long. In the first 15 minutes after we woke up today he smashed his brothers fingers in a door, pulled over the pack and play to let his brother out, locked me out when I took the puppy potty, and then while I was trying to get in, he got into the fridge to help himself.
I NEED HELP!

I have a newly two year old daughter. I am thinking about switching rooms with her. I live in an apartment and saving up to buy a house. But thats not for another 3 years. Meanwhile I have to provide adequate space for my toddler.

Well when I spoke of this to my family. They believe its not necessary and that I "spoil and over indulge" her. HUH?? Now I have to admit I enjoy buying cute INEXPENSIVE clothes for her. She starts dance school in the fall and won 2 photo contests ONLINE lol. Buts thats it. I am strong disciplinarian and believe in good manners for my child.

She is active and her bookshelf is growing, she has a rocker, small table, all would fit comfortbaly in the master bedrom. My furniture will fit easily in the second room. I don't maintain a lot of things such as because too much can be cluttered. All of her toys and dolls have to fit the toy chest or I will get rid of it.

I Try to be a good parent and in doing so I have to consider he needs. Is it too much?

I've been experiencing wut sume would say, are symptoms of possibly being pregnant!
i went on vacation 4 about 2 weeks & even b4 my vacation i noticed dat my boobs were sore & my nipples were tender. while i was on my vacation, my boobs continued 2 B sore.my nipples became more tender than what they were B4 i left.
about a week & a half in2 my vacation, i as well as my sister, notcied dat my boobs got bigger *either that or they were really swollen*. it feels & looks like they grew at least half a cup size! also, i started having trouble sleeping at night!
ANOTHER THING, i'm doin this thing dat the doctor told me 2 try out where i dont get a period. so instead of takin that last week off w/ my birth control, i go on to the next pack so that i wont get a period. the last period i had was in june and it came late and only lasted 3 days which is weird 4 me,So the missed period thing would B hard 2 figure out 4 me!
i dont no if its all in my head or sumthin 2 really worry about!
