Pregnancy & Parenting - 6 November 2007

I am due in 5 weeks and we cannot decide on a girl name. I like the names Audrey, Alaina, and Mallory. My husband likes the names Cara and Thora (no I am not kidding, he seriously thinks this is a pretty name). Of those, I threw out Thora and he threw out Mallory. He is not crazy about my other choices and I am not crazy about his. Any suggestions on either what you think of those names or any other names would be appreciated.

My heart is being torn and seems to be making it's own opinion on this stituation. Does Abortion hurt you emotional? if so, how bad? I have the support of a wonderful boyfriend and his love but will it be enough for the pain?

or is it just the 'earliest' age recommended? How long did you keep your child on formula/breastmilk for before switching entirely to cow's milk?

I've heard a lot of people say if your stomach is small and round then its a boy and if its big and pretty much spread around your waist it's a girl. Some other people say girls tend to give worse morning sickness then boys. What are your experiences??? and is there really a way to tell (besides ultra-sound) ???

I Am 26 and found out i have a fibroid tumor on my right ovary. I Want to have a baby. will the tumor prevent me from getting pregnant?

I was reading the answers that where given to someone about questions she had about feeding her baby whole milk. There was one answer that caught my attention, the person answering mentioned that her and her family where vegan. I've heard of those diets, and I would love to start my children on it, because I know it's a healthier way of eating.
My questions are the following: What does that type of diet consist of? What do you feed your children? What do you feed your babies? What types of milk? Where do you shop for food? And all other type of help, advise, suggestions or additional information would be greatly appreciated.
I'm pretty sure I can find tons of information on the internet, but would like an insiders personal opinion. If you can also provide good websites that I might use, that would be great as well.
Thank you in advance for your help.

My 4 yr old son turns 5 at the end of this month. I asked him what he wanted for his birthday several times, and he always says he wants a stroller and a vacuum cleaner (the toy kind). I know this is because his friend next door (who is a girl) has these things, and he loves playing with them with her. I don't think this is a big deal. My son's father is freaking out though. We are divorced and and he rarely sees his son, but when he called I jokingly mentioned what he was getting for his birthday and he just lost his mind over it. I see nothing wrong with getting him these toys. He has a house full of cars and other boy stuff he loves to play with, and I see no problem with him getting girly type stuff if he wants to play house so bad. Really, does it matter? Any other mothers out there have a boy who wanted girly type toys before, and did you get them for him?

Please, no mean answers. He's very boyish except for this one thing.

Ive only been in the picture for a year & a half.
Im 27, my boyfriend is 27 & he has an 8 year old daughter.
when i first started dating him, his daughter was 6. I knew from day 1 that she had major issues. I guess she was diagnosed w/ ADHD when she was 4 or 5.

Shes Extremely hyper. Nonstop talking, cant sit still, cant stay focused, always interrupting everyone and everything.

Not only does she have a severe case of ADHD, she also has rage issues. She bully's other kids, & hits people.
She doesnt listen, shes always saying NO. She has a big attitude 24/7.
she gets in trouble everyday in school.. either for bullying other kids, talking back to the teachers, talking too much & talkin out of turn, gets out of her seat too much, gives dirty looks to the teachers & other kids. Now we have a meeting friday at the school reguarding her behavior.

Since day 1, ive had problems w/her. My boyfriend works all day long & I watch her. Im w/her more than any1. WE'VE tried everything. Help???

Can you suggest some baby names that go well with Trinity?

Okay I'm due any minute now, and I still haven't decided on names for my twin daughters. I have some names that I like, and I'm open for suggestions for middle names too. Their last name will be Green, after their father, so please list whole names, including those that go well with the last name. My name starts with an A, and their fathers starts with a D, if that would help any. Heres a few names that I thought of, and let me know what you think of them.

Jewels
Lovely
Charmz
Tiara
Shenna
Aaliyah
Ryan
Sarah
Lindsay
Lindsaya

Tia&Mia
Niya&Miya
Leah&Logan
Trinity&Tristen,

I really would appreciate your help!

Hi

I am 3 months pregnant with my second child. My partner works full time, and i havent been employed since before my 1st child was born 3 years ago (this was due to a number of issues, one of which was that my daughter was very poorly for the 1st 2 years of her life)
So at the moment we are on 1 income, we do have a little help with tax credits, both the child and working. we also have a little help with the rent. But can i recieve any help with my pregnancy?

i know its a long shot, but i thought id ask

Many thanks in advance
