Pregnancy & Parenting - 29 August 2007

im 5 months prego and have been talking with my "fiance" about baby names lately. if i have a girl i want to name her Charolette Rose (with a nickname of Charlie-like her daddy..lol) and if i have a boy he wants to name him Oz. (if i have a boy though i want to name him Zachary James and if i have a girl he wants to name her Madison.) Just wanted to know what y'all thought of the names. (...Im not sure about the middle names with oz or madison..so anything you think of would be a lotta help too)

I had a question yesterday about baby names.. and people gave me and my wife tons of great advice. Here are the new names we came up with.. Don't say how much you hate it, just which one you like best or maybe if another middle name or whatever will sound better..

Girls names-
Korie Laine (or Lynn, Shay?) McElroy
Kaylin Piper McElroy
___ Sage McElroy (we need a first name, my wife REALLY wants Sage for a middle name, I hate it, but I'm giving a little as long as we can find a decent first name to go with it) Maybe Alyssa or Aleesa?

Boys--
Keegan Jacob McElroy
Jackson Victor McElroy
Logan Cade McElroy

I think its very feminine, but does it sound old-fashioned?
And what would be a nice combo with Josephine as a middle name?
Thanks

I was wondering if anyone knows what are good progesterone and estrogen levels for 1 week after ovulation. I just had an IVF procedure ended early due to lack of response to the drugs. There were three good follicles, so we did the HCG shot and tried on our own. I just had my one week after ovulation blood work done today and they said my estrogen levels were 400 and my progesterone levels were 22.5. Does anyone know if these numbers are a good sign that I might be pregnant? Only serious answers please!

We have discussed having a baby and are planning on doing it but he keeps finding reasons to put it off another month. I know he's just nervous but I'm getting frustrated. A family member suggested I go ahead and start trying. It usually takes at least 3 months for conception once a woman has quit taking the pill so I feel like I have 3 months to prepare him. We already have one and have been married for 10 years. I know he wants this and will love a baby but I feel like wrong hiding it even for a month. Should I continue to wait or listen to family?

I am 40 weeks and 1 day pregnant. 4 nights ago i was in labor & delivery b/c my contractions were 3 mins apart, but i was only 2 cm dialted and after an hour i was still only 2 cm, so i was sent home. I continued to have those contractions for 2 days. Now they have gone away from the most part, But the contractions i get now are ALOT more painful, but way further apart, and arent rythmic. All day yesterday i had flu like symptoms which i know can be a sign of labor, & i went to bed with period like cramping. This morning when i woke up i was having HORRIBLE cramping and a lower back ache. And every so often, i get a horrible pain in the right side of my butt, and also last night i was having rectal pressure. This morning, sitting on the couch i was having some real strong contractions, so i figured i would go walk walmart for 2 hours. Now after doing that, the contractions have gone away completly, and i feel fine. Is it normal for labor to stall like this? What should i do?

I was wondering, I thought I may have miscarried about six days ago, I was due for my period , but never had a chance to find out if i had missed a period, because I started spotting for a couple of days & then I had a real heavy bloodflow so bad i needed a super tampon & a pad, this is not usual for me I had cramping, lower back pain headaches, sore legs & my glutes were sore too & I had no energy, my husband had to pick me up & put me to bed as I felt like I could have slept the whole entire day away, I kept bleeding for the next 5-6 days and I am still spotting slightly! is this just an unusally heavy period or did i miscarry?

my bff's husband may not be the biological father of her child and he is aware of it. he married her when she was pregnant, put his name on the birth certificate and gave the child his last name. he agreed to raise the child as his own and has done so since birth. he has never asked her for a paternity test.

my bff caught him cheating and is now divorcing him, he now says he will ask for a paternity test and not pay any support if the child is not his, even after he has raised the child from birth. what will the court do? will they do a paternity test? and if it happens the child is not his isn't there somekind of law that will make him pay for the child since he has claimed it as his from birth and supported both the mother and child? also will he get visitation if the child is not his?

i think he should pay, it is the same as someone adopting a child just without the paperwork. people who adopt have to pay child support.

Nine months is so long. Is it possible to do it quicker? But with the baby getting out healthy?

It's like kind of a churning feeling and every so often it rumbles (like hunger rumbling but i'm not hungry) I've also had cramps.

Is all this normal?

I just found out I have a UTI. I'm 11 weeks pregnant. The dr. is calling me in some antibiotics. I dont' have any blood in my urine. I do have some lower abdominal pain and have had frequent urniation (waking up many times during the night) but I thought that just came along with pregnancy. Have any of you had a UTI while pregnant? Please share your experience.

I'm 27 weeks pregnant, and my husband and I are going to a friend's wedding in a few weeks. Where can I buy a nice evening dress that I can wear to the event, but one that won't cost too much. I love the dresses at Pea in the Pod, but there is no way that I am paying $250 for a dress that I'll likely never wear again!

I am looking for something in a knee-length babydoll style, like the following:

I'm not trying to start a war on whether they should or should not (we can all make our own minds up there), and I'm not talking about people who do non-religious ceremonies to welcome children into the world. I am simply asking why so many people who do not believe in and/or practice any religion themselves have their children baptized (or the equivalent). I started to wonder this after many parents in my playgroup had their children baptized although they don't follow the religion themselves, but I thought it might be rude to ask them in person.

Thanks.
