Pregnancy & Parenting - 7 November 2007

My husband and I have a small 2 bedroom apartment and live right next to the hospital I will be delivering at. He is saving up his vacation time to take a week off when the baby is born to help me.


It sounds like most woman have had their mothers helping them. I would love for my mother to help me, but she works and there would be no place for her to sleep.

My husband and I will be fine on our own? Or should I plan on making accomendations for the first week...??

I've noticed with children .. the boys tend to resemble the moms and the girls tend to resemble the dads? is this usually the case? [I've noticed it with my friends children]

[my son is only 4 months old, and it's hard to tell which parent he resembles more because my husband and I both have blonde hair and blue eyes ...]

I'm just wondering, what sex is your baby/child?
And does it look more like Mommy or Daddy?

*just curious :]

I reallly cannot decide on a name so I am going to name based on what the child looks like. It will either have Auburn or red hair like my daughter. Possibly strawberry blonde like my own.

I'm looking for work, and I am trying. I working with a program that helps me to get leads on jobs, but so far the job leads they have had for me have not been what I need.
I'm a single parent of 2 young kids, yes I know I need work. But I just got to have a job where I can be home with my kids.
My job coach is mad at me cause I have turned down job leads, I had to tho cause they did not fit in with my schedule with my kids too.
I'm at risk of being kicked of this program. I told my job coach my kids come first, but she doesn't think I am right thinking this way.
what would you do?
To me my kids will come first!!

My daughter is 4 weeks and she stays awake from about 1am to 8am. She does not even close her eyes (except to blink of course) or act sleepy. And as soon as my eyes close, she screams. She wont let me put her down during that time either, but will during the day. She can amuse herself, but like I said, as soon as I close my eyes, she screams a lot! I know babies do not sleep through the night, but I did not know that some can stay awake for 7 hours straight. We have tried everything (the only thing that works is swaddling her and putting her on her boppy pillow, but since that is not safe, we do not do that anymore. Tried once). I have asked her pediatrician but she said that there is nothing we can do to make her sleep, of course. I had to quit my job because I cannot stay up for 7 hours at night to turn around and do full time work and full time school and home school a child with bipolar . This has been rough. Any suggestions??

My boyfried and I had protected sex (like we always do) last night. But a strange thing happend when he pulled out the condom base was half way off with some fluids inside .Then when I got up there was a big puddle that came out that was way more than usual. He says it was mines. I think it was his from the condom. Anyone have any similiar experiences like this one? Im worried about an uplanned pregnancy!

Before me and my hubby split up we were ttc to no avail for a little over a year.
We split up for about a month and a half, but we have been back together for about a month now.
Last night he told me that he doesnt want me to get pregnant for "my sake" cause I just started college. I'll only be doing 2 years and idk what my plans are (college wise) after I get my degree at this college.
but going to school or not I would still like to get pregnant. before we split up he knew that I was trying to go to college while we were ttc. I just wasnt 100% sure that I was going.
We already have a 4 year old and I am excited to get pregnant again.
Do you think this is just an excuse on his part?
what should I do?
any suggestions....

Many people say it is not possible to have a positive pregnancy test so soon, I tested 10 days after conception and it was about 9 days before my period was due. I'm wandering if maybe my pregnancy dates are misleading because of being on the combined pill, which may have affected my periods.

I'm only 16 weeks along, but for about a week I swear I've been feeling them. It isn't gas, I've had two children so I know what it feels like, it thought this happened a little bit later. Today they feel alot stronger than they have over this past week since I started feeling them. Is this not just the coolest part of the pregnancy?? And this may sound just a little greedy, but I think it is so cool that this is something only I can feel right now, don't get me wrong I can't wait for my hubby and the kids to feel the baby kick, but it's kinda cool having this exclusive connection with the baby.

I have low blood sugar and on occasion my daughter will get hungry when I am eating. I tried propping a bottle today while she sat in her carrier. I sat in front of her and finished my meal. I use the ready to feed bottles so I am lucky to just be able to throw a new nipple on one and give it to her. So anyways, I sat right in front of her, finished my meal and watching her eat. I did this because I was afraid to hold her while my blood sugar was down and I was too shaky. I then quickly ate and picked her up to finish the feeding. Is this ok to do in ONLY this situation (I would never do it for another reason, I love the bonding time)???

My 4 week old daughter chokes every time she nurses or takes a bottle...she has since she was born. The doctor says its due to acid reflux, but it seems more than that.

Has anyone else had this happen?
