Pregnancy & Parenting - 23 November 2007

She'll be bundled up to ridiculous proportions and stuffed warmly into her stroller or in our arms. But I'm just not sure if it will make the potential cold worse or not. She had a little bit of a cough last night and has a runny nose (AGAIN) today. We just got over a 3week runny nose. Not looking forward to dealing with that again...

I'm giving birth to a set of boy/girl twins in February and I'm just playing with some names.
For the boy names, I want to keep with James because that was my great-grandfather's name. As for Rose, I want to keep that as a middle name because my hubby's mom was named Rose.

Names I love:

BOYS
Alan James
Aidan James
Andrea James

GIRLS
Jennifer Rose
Irene Rose
Daniella Rose
Jenny Rose


What are some good combinations?
Other suggestions welcomed!

Thanks!

I am 14 days away from my due Date and Still cannot find a name for my son!
I do not like the all time common names such as:
Joseph, James, Micheal, Thomas, Chris, Daniel, David, Robert, JAson, and so on and so forth, those Extremely common names...
And I don't want to name him the ever so popular names right now going around for boys such as:
Dylan, Braden, Braxton, Conner, Skyler, Landon, And all those oh so common right now...
What are some good unique names for a BOY? Any one know of any good ones?

Just so we are clear on how weird I am... I have a daughter and her name Is Korbyn...
I dont want his name to be girly, just different...
Help me out! Thanks!

I've been noticing that he deliberately tries to tick me off and pull a big fuss at meal time. He's a picky eater and will not eat something if he doesn't like it. He overwhelms himself to the point where he makes himself sick..any ideas?

She nurses 4 times a day and eats solids twice a day (1 serving of stage 2 baby food and 1 serving of oatmeal at each feeding)....she is starting to take longer naps and sleeping through feedings, so I find myself cramming in her feedings just to get them in before bedtime for fear of her waking in the night hungry. Would it be okay to keep the solid intake the same but nurse only 3 times per day? Will the amount adjust into 3 feedings? In other words, I don't want her to be taking in less breastmilk. Is 3 feedings per day too little for a 7 month old? Any pointers would be great!

I am a single mother with 3 kids 2 of which are still at home. their father seems to only want to help when he wants to, he feels the drugs are more important. I left their father about 8 years ago looking for a new start, because i was right there with him on drugs and i knew my kids deserved better. so i got away and have been clean ever since. while i was with him i got in trouble for the first and only time and it is true what they say about your past following you ever where you go. I haven't been able to get or keep a job, because as soon as they see that 1 mistake my chance has gone out the window. I am on HUD and sometimes i cant pay my bills, but then out of the blue it seems like something comes along. I always keep my faith, because i know GOD will not make a mountain I can't climb. I just pray he will come through for me this Christmas as well, i may have done things in my past, but my kids haven't, so please let them know that things aren't always going to be bad.

i have never been pregnant b4, and I am 24. I am 7 weeks pregnant. I am not even sure if I want to continue this pregnancy. I am a small woman, 5'2 and 103 lbs. I have not gained any weight really for the past couple of weeks. I look at my stomach and it looks the same to me, I cant notice any significant difference, only difference is my breasts are slightly bigger than before. But when will I begin to show most likely, given that this is my first pregnancy and I am a small woman with slight build, and age 24 (if age has anything to with it)...at how many weeks or months most likely?

I heard when the woman gets pregnant, she goes through several things,

1) You get morning sickness.

2) You get physically miserable through those 9 long months with a belly that grows and stretches.

3) You go through that agonzing child birth.

4) While pushing the baby out, you have several people you don't know look at you "down there" while you're delivering.


When parents have kids, the woman has to worry about all that yet the man doesn't. So again, what is it about having that baby that makes it so worth it? You go through 9 months and have an agonzing child birth, so being a guy, I can only wonder.

Well I have been feeling kind of weird lately, I have had backaches, I have been like extremely tired and exhausted, sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night like sweating to death and it is winter sooo kinda odd... also I am late with my period and I thought I was gonna get it because I have been having cramps but it hasn't come... I also have been really moody and grumpy.... but I don't know if it is too early and if a test would even show up yet.. so I was just asking opinions on whether or not these are symptoms or they could be from sumthin else.

I have a 7 month old and may start working 2 to 3 days a week. I plan to pump at work and feed her that milk. However, I am not a good pumper (and I have all the fancy pumps and know all the tricks), and I'm worried I won't get as much as she needs and will need to supplement with a little formula. I'm ok with that, but I'm worried about the days I'm not working - will I be short on those days too eventually and need to supplement a little then too? i don't want her to be hungry on the days I'm at home!!?

Anyone have experience with this? I'd like to use as little formula as possible.

I had major surgery 6 months ago and was unable to walk or work. Her father took her into his custody while I recovered. He also was informed of all her doctor notices that came to my home. I was in and out of the hospital during this time. I am now fully recovered and starting a new job next week. Come to find out she hasn't had her 12 or 15 month shots. I called her doctor and I cant get an appointment until the next 2 weeks during work hours. I am located in Chicago and was wondering if anyone knows if I can go to a clinic and get her shots she is missing instead of waiting on her doctor and being unable to put her in daycare?
