My name is Rachael.

I don't think it's ugly, it's just too popular. lol
I like exotic names that people don't hear often.
Like Elizia. I think it's beautiful.

My hole name is Rachael Leigh Jung.

Do you think that i should change my middle name to Elizia and tell people in the future to call me by the middle name?

Or do you like my name now?

I think I'm two weeks pregnant. I might be three weeks. I want to lose 20 pounds. I want to be thin. I know the babies will eventually make me gain weight. Is it ok for me to lose twenty pounds when I'm in the first trimester? Will it hurt the babies?

So first off, I'm not pregnant so don't give me any of that "Your kid will his get his *** kicked and hate you forever" stuff. I find it to be quite annoying.

Girls:
Katrin
Nova
Cameo
Aubrette
Taen (Tay-in)
Marisol

Boys:
Quinlan

HELP! I am at my wits end with trying to feed my baby. He has been bottle feeding for over 2 months since he started refusing to breastfeed. I was pumping as much as I could until I went back to work so he was getting 3 formula and 3 breastmilk bottles a day. Going back to work stopped my milk supply so we had to switch to only formula. The baby started getting fussy with eating even when he was still getting breatmilk and it has now gotten to the point that he refuses the bottle entirely. We have been to the dr twice and got medicine for reflux both times..it didnt help at all. We now have to forcefeed him with a syringe or feed him right when hes almost asleep to get him to eat. I cant take watching him scream and cry when he eats...and I dont know what to do. He doesnt have any white spots in his mouth or on his tounge (ruling out thrush i think) and we have tried different nipples, flow speeds and formulas,weve even tried cup feeding. He will eat his ceral with no problem.

I love my hubby and I know he loves our 9 and a half month old son Colin too but...he spanks or slaps Colin's hand whenever he does anything that he would consider wrong. I try to tell my hubby that he is too young to understand. I tell him that he is being too rough and I don't want him doing that anymore...I've told him probably a hundred times but he still does. Colin isn't really physically hurt by it. It's not like my hubby spanks/slaps his hands hard or anything like that but I don't like it. Anyone know how I can get through to him to find a different way to handle Colin? He doesn't like that Colin makes messes sometimes or if he cries. He doesn't want him to self feed because he makes a mess when he does it and I try to tell him that is a part of learning. He was the second of 8 kids so I don't understand how he got this way.

Can Braxton Hicks contractions take your breath away?

I've been having what I thought was braxton hicks for a couple of weeks now but this one was different. It lasted a little over a minute, hurt like a menstrual cramp type pain, and took my breath away at first for a few seconds (the others I've been having were nothing like that).

I'm only 23 1/2 weeks pregnant (2nd pregnancy) but was put on bed rest at around 28 weeks during my 1st pregnancy for the risk of preterm labor.

I have only seen this size at one store. I can't buy these all the time because they are at Kroger and they don't have one where I am at. I am just curious if you have seen this size at any other store?

OK so my plain is an all natural childbirth. No epi, no drip, no gas and air, nothing. 100% me and my son.

The problem is that I was unable to find ANY classes in my area ANYWHERE that were not filled up for months in advance.

Ive been reading every book I can put my hands on, Lamaze, yoga, meditation, the Bradley method, Anything!

I'm 38 weeks now and just want some general advice from moms out there who have given all natural childbirth.

What worked best for you? What helped you get through the pain? Did breathing? Walking? Stretching? The ball?

Thanks in advance for the story's and advice!

How do you keep your high chair clean, especially when your baby likes to eat finger foods off the tray?

I know some people sterilise the tray in a dishwasher but, um we don't have a dishwasher, lol!

I usually just wipe the tray and seat (its plastic covered) over with antibacterial wipes or Dettol spray and a cloth everytime its used. Is this OK?
