Pregnancy & Parenting - 12 November 2007

My daughter is 26 months old and she is very advanced for her age which ables me to buy her toys that are actually for 3 year olds, but what my trouble is is that she likes boys toys better! I order toys catalogs and when we look thru them together she is always interested in all the boys toys like Thomas the engine sets and work bench sets, she totally disregards the dolls and girly toys! should i just buy her the boys sets so that she stays interested in her toys or should i try to buy her girls toys so that theres no confusion now or in the future?!
I also have asked her if she thinks shes a girl like mommy or a boy like daddy and she always replys thats shes a girl, what should i do??!!

AF came on Sat 2 days late. My periods usually only last 3 days but those 3 days are light to medium continuous flow and a little spotting on day 3 towards the end. This time my first day was light continuous flow and yesterday it started to slow down around midday and by 5pm it was gone and I spotted a little last night. This morning I spotted light pink once and nothing since. Could I still have a slight chance at being preggo or is a case of the "weird period" and wishful thinking? Has anyone had this happen and been pregnant?

My 8 month old has a cold. Sneezing, runny, stuffy nose etc. Since cold medicine worked wonders for his first cold, I was angered when I went to the pharmacy and learned that they werent selling infants cold medicine anymore. By it being flu season I did not want the cold to get worse so I took him to the doc. The doc told me to get saline nose drops for him. I immediately thought how is this going to help with a cold. The doc told me that it will help with all the symptoms and eventually the cold will go away. I used the drops according to how the doc said but his nose is still running. Is his nose suppose to keep running? I have to keep wiping and suctioning out his nose. After a day, I called the doc about my concern and once again she told me that they work, but that I can bring him back in again to be looked at. Does this stuff really work? Any experiences or advice? Thanks

My husband and I just found out we are expecting. We have been talking about names and he really likes the name Lake for a boy. I on the other hand am having a hard time with it. I don't really mind it has a middle name. But he want's it as a middle name and the name that he will be known as. So how do you feel about it?

I'm 3 months pregnant. Last month when I went for my first prenatal appointment they did a pap smear and they said it wasn't abnormal but I might have HPV. Next month they want to do a colposcopy and a biopsy. My doctor said it might cause bleeding but it's not going to cause a miscarriage. But if it does show that I have HPV they can't do anything to treat it until after I have the baby so is it even worth the chance of bleeding and the stress of worrying about having a miscarriage or should I just wait until after the baby is born.

Also, I had a pap smear in January 2007 and everything was fine, I have only been with one man since then and he's only been with me so how did I get the HPV

I'm expecting twin boys and I'm deciding on what type of furniture I want to put in their nursery. The goal is for them to share a crib for several months at first. I know I wil need 2 cribs so I dont want to spend a lot of money on one. I was looking into some of the combo sets because they take up less space as well as they are lower priced. However, after looking at some of the reviews..I'm a little nervouse. So basically I need to get 2 good quality cribs and a changing table. I also need a good amount of dresser space, but baby dressers seem to cost a lot, should i get a regular dresser? Does anyone have any suggestions? Please give me names of good products that wont cost so much or other suggestions. Thanks

My husband and I have decided on changing one of our childrens' names. Her name was Teagan Lily but we've decided that due to some large issues with the person she was named after (unfixable problems too great to mention here) we wanted to change her name. We decided to change it to Lily Harper. Do you think we were wrong to change her name? She's only a few months old.

My daughter is way too dependent on the bottle... but hates getting her milk from the sippy. Do I just take the bottle away all at once or gradually? She's 13 months and I want her completely off the bottle by 18 months. I've been trying to break her from falling asleep with the bottle, which was hard this weekend, but I think it will be better this week (as long as I can get her babysitter to do what I'm doing). Any help and insight would be great! Thank you!!

My son is suspended from school because he has behavioral problems on and off. He's only seven. When I ask them how did it start, they couldn't give me a definite answer. All they would say is that he missbehaved and he's suspended. The principal said he's suspended and won't be able to return until he has an appointment with a psyhiatrist. I don't have medical coverage and they're really expensive. I can't afford a psyhiatrist. How is he suppose to go back to school?

I already taken away his privileges, but I don't know if it's enough. I'm thinking about home schooling or transfering him to another school because he says he doesn't like the school.

I am 7 weeks pregnant and have a great job which I have been at for 3.5 months. I have a felony charge ( grand theft 350.00) which I am currently serving probation for. My employer has not done a background check on me YET. I am not sure if she will, but she does it on other people and I am sure she will eventually do one on me. On my application i didn't put down that I was convicted of a crime b/c I had adjudication withheld and I never told her about the charge. So, since I do the payroll I am assuming that if she does a check I will get fired. what should I do? Should I wait and see if she ever does one or should I tell her about it? If I get fired its going to be impossible for me to find another job because of my background and because I am pregnant.
