I'm looking for a name that is high society. It's a boy. I want a name that could be a ceo. Something that sounds like it comes from wealth. Thanks

I'm sort of into writing. And I have four names already picked out, actually I'm One-forth done with the book. But I just want to know what you guys think are great names. So basically I'm asking...

What are four good names that go well together, but don't sound TOO much the same? Three male names, one female names. Thankx in advance to anyone who actually wants to answer this.

My daughter is down and out because she only had girl names picked out, as she really wanted a girl, only to find out today that its another boy (3rd) on the way. Thanks for your help.

It doesn't have to have anything to do with his name, just something sweet I can call him... My name is Caroline, and he calls me Kashu, bc often I go by Kashia.

I'm five weeks pregnant and so excited.
He isn't excited. At all.
He also has a habit of, or maybe a fetish for... Ejaculating inside of me. I explained to him a long time ago that although I am not against abortion, I couldn't do it.
I asked him if he was trying to get me pregnant, and he would joke around about it.

Now that I'm pregnant he says he's not ready. I cry my eyes out every time I think of having an abortion, but at the same time I grew up a single child and the last thing I want is to raise this child on my own dealing with a father who begrudgingly takes part in his child's life.

I understand the obvious answers, I.E. you should have used a condom (duh) and abortion is murder.

I would truly appreciate it if anyone out there has a little kind advice or maybe some ideas about benefits for single mothers in California.
I really don't want to give the baby up but its so daunting thinking about doing this on my own.
How can I be fair to him and to the baby?

I've tried Vaseline and different diaper rash creams and baby powder and nothing is helping! He has a blister on the side of his 'area' and his butt is so red. I change him the second he needs it, and let him kind of air out for a few minutes, but he just screams and cries and it breaks my heart. He was crying so hard the last time I changed him that his little fist was shaking.. I just cried with him.. what can I do? He's 13 months and has been on whole milk for two months. He had the 'milk rash' for a few days, but it cleared up.. can it just come back?

My last cycle was about 28 days. Today I am on day 33. I tested negative with an HPT on the day of my expected period and again today.
I'm not having a lot of symptoms other than really sore breasts and fatigue. I get tired a lot more easily than I did. My breasts are really sore and feel really heavy. It hurts to wear a bra and to not wear one. Also I have these little goosebump-things around my nipples ( i guess they're called montgomery tubercles? ) which are really sore like pin-pricks.
I'm just wondering should I wait it out another week or so or get in to see a doctor? Could the doctor tell if I'm pregnant by this time? I would only be about 4 1/2 weeks if I am.

According to my (current) dates, I am 12 or 13 weeks pregnant. However, at my prenatal visit today, my NM said that I'm measuring 17 or 18 weeks! Now, I'm positive that my LMP is correct, since before the last one I hadn't been active for two years. I'm also reasonably sure I felt fetal movement, it happened twice the other day within about 5 mins of each other. At 12 or 13 weeks I know it's fairly uncommon for this to happen. So, what are my chances that I am having twins? I was a twin, but my sister was stillborn at 5 months while I survived to full term. My mother also lost one other set of twins at about 6 weeks. Based on this info, does anyone else think this is a distinct possibility? I am also willing to acknowledge the possibility of fibroids or excess amniotic fluid, since my NM was able to find a heartbeat but quickly lost it. Does anyone have any input on this? I'm having an ultrasound next week by the way, but I'm trying to prepare myself for anything.

I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant yet, I'd be about 4 or 5 weeks now. Anyhow, my only "symptom" so far is nausea. I'm playing the waiting game right now, and I'm not so sure that I want to run out so soon and get a test. My period is only 4 days late.

Anyway, the point of my question is not to ask if you think that I'm pregnant. My questions are:

Is it too early for morning sickness at what would be 4 going on 5 weeks?

And,

Does anybody have any remedies?

I don't know if anyone here would know, but do you know how long recovery time is for a vasectomy and if it is extremely painful? My boyfriend would like to know. We are pregnant with our 4th child and are thinking about getting one after this one is born.

I hate saying fetus I say baby, but a lot of people try to correct me. Is there a point where the fetus becomes a baby?

I am single gay man. I work in the adult entertainment industry. I enjoy going out, but figure I can just hire a baby sitter occasionally. Plus my ex boyfriend Tom would help. He may be a recovering alcoholic but he is a great guy. I love children and would so love dressing my little boy up all cute. Can you say Prada? Many people tell me that my lifestyle is not suitable for a young child from Malawi, however I would provide a loving home. Should I adopt?

I have the same tingly/cold feeling in my bbs and tummy like last month around this time...also my bbs are a little sore. We have been TTC for 1 month now, but no luck as of yet (hoping this month!) What else could be the cause of this feeling, besides PMS or pg?
