Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 November 2007

I just found out that I was pregnant about two weeks ago and I currently do not have benefits. I started my own company a couple months ago and was going to get my own health care. However, I was just recently offered a great position at a company with great benefits, but I don't know if their benefits would even cover my pregnancy because I thought it is considered a pre-existing condition? Since I was pregnant before I got these health benefits. Does anyone know more information on this??
Thank You!

I was watching Court TV the other day, the convicts or criminals always will have a excuse that related to the parents.
Even celebrities like Lindsy Lohan, said she was emotionally neglected by her father. Do you find that despicable?

I have a 20 yr old daughter still living at home. She was working as a barista, going to community college, rehearsing for the college play in the evenings, and partying on the weekends. She was laid off from her job a few weeks ago and we had a trip planned to Mexico on Thanksgiving. I have been a single mom of 3 for 5-1/2 yrs and this is my first time taking a REAL vacation. She decided to wait until after her play which is this week and the trip to get another job. Her scenario is to buy lots of clothes and does little to help me out. Her starter went out on her car and she took my debit card to pay for it without asking. I am thinking of going to Mexico without her. I feel hurt and betrayed. Any adivce?

I'm 16 and gave birth to my first child two weeks ago today. The birth went well and I didn't tear, have any complications or need any stitches but I'm still bleeding heavily and in some pain. I'm very conscious of the work I'm missing at school and although I don't want to leave my baby, I don't want to be another teen mum relying on benefits and I am determined to get good grades. How soon should I be going back? I asked my midwife and she just said when I felt ready...

My baby will soon be three weeks old, and I think he is already spoiled. I have fallen asleep with him in my arms a few times late at night because I was just too tired to sit up with him, and now, it's like he won't even sleep in his bedside bassinet because he thinks he is supposed to sleep in my arms. As soon as I lay him down in is bassinet, it's like he realizes that he is not in my arms anymore, and starts crying, and now, it' s not only happening at night, it's happening during the day also. Any suggestions on how I can break my baby out of this habit?

I know the recommendation is bare foot till 2 years old or light-weight flexible shoes. The salesman at Stride Rite told us that my son already has a wide feet & allowing him to go barefoot or wear light-weight shoes will only make his feet more wide.
I'll be asking our pediatrician next week. Any info on this?

Or names that you can add a y in the middle?

Like Rain could be Rayne (which is how people normally spell it) and such?

It can unique names.

What did you name your children and was there a specific reason?

We named our son Ethan James because Ethan was the only name we could agree on besides Calvin (but I hate the nickname Cal) and James is a name that's been used in every generation of my husbabnd's paternal family.

What did you name your children?

My husband and I are not well on finances and have two cars. Mine will be fixed up by December and should be reliable for the next two years. His could go at anytime.

He seems to think we should lease a used car and trade in one of ours for cash down. It concerns me though. When you have medical bills, emergencies... we still need to go on a honeymoon! And with only one person working I think it would be foolish to buy something... he believes we could afford it I think we would loose it.
