Pregnancy & Parenting - 17 November 2007

I am making invitations for a surprise baby shower for my friend but I can't find any cute wording that gives the idea that it is a surprise! All the wording that I could find just explaines that it is a baby shower. I want people to know to keep it hush.... got any ideas or maybe a website link that has a few choices?

if you buy the original version and not the new stuff with this dha and ara in it. My kids were fed the original as they did not have it 10 years ago, I now have a 4 week old and it is so hard to find the original versions in the store anymore. To me, it is just a way for these companies to make money. Does anybody else agree?

I was just on the website 'daycares dont care'. Its a sad fact that they actually dont, even the one i work in.

I work with toddlers, aged 2-3. But even yesterday i had 13 kids in the one room aged between 18 mnths & 4 years. Even tho the room only holds 8 children. The most ive had is 20 kids in one room by myself for over an hour.

I feel bad having to sit all the children on the floor, but it is the only way i can look after them when there is soo many. Im not saying things are this bad all the time, but ratios are NEVER kept.

The managers r so nice tho. Its hard to say anything because they have helped me through hard times with my family problems etc.

When they see the room in such a state with 2 many children, they just tell us new staff are starting soon & not 2 worry. I know it takes ages for them to get staff because we have to wait at least 7 weeks on police checks but i dont think it should be this bad.

In the future i hope to open my own daycare. A good one.

I have a 13 month baby boy and I am concerned. He can say mama, and dada, but thats it. He isnt saying any other words, he can drink from a sippee cup but hasnt grasped having to tip it up to get the juice out, and does not like to eat solid foods. I give him the spoon often to see if he will try to feed himself, but he just chews on the spoon and nothing else. I know I should not be comparing, but I have a friend who has a baby girl of the same age and she is already doing all these things. Should I be worried?

Parents, would you be disappointed if your child didn't play any high school sports? For those of you with kids in high school who don't play sports, are you disappointed that they don't play a sport?

For the past 24 hours my 11.5 month old son has had rctal bleeding. Its not a ton but it is noticeable. He has had some problems with dairy, I am assuming he is lactos intollerant. But he hasn't had much dairy. My husband did give him a bit of egg for the first time yesterday morning, before the bleeding started. I have looked up food allergies and he seems to have alot of the symptoms. Eczema, dark circles under his eyes, mucousy stools, now rectal bleeding, he is very irritable and not playing or laughing. It seems to hurt him when I change him and hold him. He dons't have diaper rash. And he has started to brea out with some weird skin colored bumps one his arms and legs. He isan't vomiting, but he isan't eating like normal either. And he cried when I tried to feed him his favorite food.

Do I need to see an allergentist? What should I do?

I was like 10 or 11 when it was airing and I watched it. I'm just curious what other parents think.

When do you think is the best time to tell all the family your pregnant?

We have told our parents and I have told my boss, but our main concern is telling my brother-in-law and his wife because they have only just had their daughter and we don't know how they will take it?

my teenager has just turned 15 and i have found oud that she has had sex smoked bunked off school . im trying to understand her but find that when i try and talk to her she will not engage in a conversation with me to sort these issues out . I love my daughter but find she feels i dont. Had an argument with her because would not go to school after i let her go to a party on condition her father picked her up.I am a stirct parent with boundaries so all these revalations where quite a shock to me. By the way i went on her msn to find out what she is up to . Has someone got any solutiond to handling her. I have even started a parenting class to find ways to help tackle her. I have 3 sons and do not have all these issues with them. I was once very close to my daughter but find in the last 18 months she has done things i never thought she would the trust i had is gone.

Hi, I am currently 39 weeks pregnant with my second child, my son is now 7 he was delivered by c-section as I was induced and he got distressed. I am now trying for a virginal birth (VBAC) but yesterday my BP was 140/108 and had trace of protein in urine (its been confirmed I have white coat syndrome)!....midwife wanted to send me in to hospital but i pleaded with her not to so she sent me for a pre-eclampsia blood test which i have heard nothing back and she said no news will be good news. I am having BP checked again tommorow but im scared I will just be hearled in for another c-section, has anyone else been in my situation? if so what was the outcome, did you get the chance to try for a vaginal birth? I have been told I may beable to have a sweep to maybe try and break my waters but i was examined last Tuesday and the doc said I wasnt ready yet! any tips on how to get things going? thanks in advance xx

Do most people think of names first and then when the baby is born that's the name? My first daughter I had a name picked out and that was it. But with my second daughter, right after she was born, I changed the name we picked. I'm so glad I did too. Now, I'm pregant again (this time it's a boy) and we have a name picked out. I'm not feeling it, but my husband is stuck on it... what to do, what to do?

In years past, the "Air Hogs" line of flying, remote control toys made a hit so I can't do that again this year. Because Chicago is a cold-weather area with lots of snow, outdoor-type toys or gifts have limited use unless they are cold-weather hardy or designed for use in snow. His mother always gets him practical things like clothes so he looks to me, his Dad, to get him cooler stuff that maybe others haven't gotten or that his friends don't have. So I'm looking for something that will generate that "Oh Wow!" experience when he opens it on Christmas Day. He will be with his mother then so I won't get to see him open his presents. Ergo, I want to be represented there with something impressive but not outrageously priced since I'm not exactly a Rockerfeller yet and send most of my disposable income to their mother for child support. I love my children and want to bring them something heartfelt that shows thoughtfulness and understanding of their age. Your suggestions?

Did anyone ever have a feeling that they were having a girl and have it be a boy, or vice versa?
