I have a court order that says that my xbf can pick up his daughter every weekend. This court order was before he married his now wife. There is nothing on the CO that says that she can pick her up.
Do I have to let my daughter's step mom pick up my child, if I feel that she is a danger to her?

I live in Wisconsin

I really am, its so weird. I can't wait to feel my baby emerging from me. I watched a childbirth video on youtube and actually got aroused because it was so beautiful!! No epi for me. I just cant wait to hold my pumpkin and I find it truly amazing that this baby that my husband put inside me emerges from that little opening. Am i weird for being excited?

I am 34 years old, my wife is 29, I am a pharmacist, and she a teacher. We have 2 children of our own already that we got the old fashioned way. We are able to have more, but I sometimes feel like there are unwanted children out there why not give one of them the family they deserve, instead of having another. We are VERY preliminary at this point, and just curious how you get started in adopting children.

My daughter is 2 1/2 and it seems like she is sleeping too much. She sleeps around 11-12 hours at night and takes a 3-4 hour nap during the day. She is eating and growing normally. But, lately she's also been a bit grumpy.

I am by no means complaining, but I am a bit of worrier. My husband thinks she's just growing. Is this too much sleep?

Thanks for the responses.

I go to a high school where there is much academic competition. I made a really bad mistake a few years ago to take algebra again, and now I am no longer advanced in math. I am so ashamed of it because I know people would think of me as less intelligent if they knew. I hide my math book from everyone so they can go on assuming I'm in calculus or something. How can I let go of this overwhelming shame? I feel like such an idiot.

I read several articles that said that patch can make my pragnacy late. My body should ovulate properly before try to be pregnant. I did have irregular period before using patch, and when I started to use the patch, the period was super regular. I had one period after I stopped using the patch. I got my last period on September, 2007. I'm trying to get pregnant. And there is no positive answer. What should I do? I read several articles that said PATCH could delay prgnancy and my body should start my period before try for pregnacy. Is that correct ? Or should keep trying ?? Please let me know as soon as possible.

I spent a lot of time tryinmg to come up with some practical gifts for my 22 month old for Christmas and her birthday which is one month later.
I thought of four nice gifts and will give her two at Christmas and two on her birthday. My husband seems to think we've gone over the top but I think they are good items that she will get use out of, some for years to come. I don't feel we've gotten her too much.
1. A Radio Flyer bike w/ parent steering
2. A set of blocks
3. A doll
4. A toddler sized chair and table set
Other members of the family will probably give her some things too. But her grandparents aren't the type to go too crazy.
What do you think?

I had sex almost 3 days ago. Today, I was sick almost all day. I felt terrible. I am normally one of those people who eats seconds, today I couldn't even finish my lunch & all it was was a piece of pizza kinda stuff.

I went to the bathroom 4 times within the 1st hr - hr & a half of being awake in the morning.

I am incredibly tired. I slept until 1 pm yesterday & normally I wake up around 7 or 8.


I have a queasy feeling in my lower adomen, kinda like cramps in a way

I took a pregnancy test, & there was a VERY faint positive sign. This was my 1st time having sex in like 3 years, so I don't know.

There is no way that I could be pregnant from another time, because like I said, it would have to be this time, because I haven't had sex in like 3 years before now.

I don't keep track of my periods, I know that I should, but I don't, so I don't know when my last period was or when it is supposed to be this time

Could I be pregnant? Any help is VERY MUCH appriciated

i married a year ago and now we're so excited to have a child. we're hoping for a girl and I'm thinking i like Honey as either a first or middle name. In Gone With the Wind, Ashley Wilkes' sister's name was Honey, so I didn't just pull it out of nowhere. I haven't told my huband yet because he doesn't want to think about baby names until we know the gender
so what do you think of "Honey"
better for a first or middle name?

My brothers girlfriend told him she was 3 weeks prego, but refuse to take a pregnancy test (the one you pist on). At 1st she had so many excuses why she could not make it to pee on the stick, but now she is saying it will only show up in her blood. I asked myself how far along she was, and she said 2 to 3 weeks; is that possible for someone to know in such a short term? Than I asked her when was her due date to see if it matches her being 2 to 3 weeks. She told me that when the doctor took her blood at the clinic they did not ive her a due date, but I been pregnant twice and they always told me what do yall think? Is she prego or is she a liar liar pants on fire?

My little one has loose bowels. I am pretty sure this is from teething and too much juice. I have started pedialyte and a diet high in bananas and cheese. This seems to be taking care of the stools.

But, she has diaper rash. She has never had this and it seems so awful. It is red and she cries when I change her. I am putting diaper rash ointment on and changing her very very frequently.

My question is- she has gone to sleep (she keeps a strict sleep schedule and is doing wonderful on it). Do I wake her to check her diaper and change her, or do I let her sleep? I have put ointment on and am debating which to do. Poor thing, after all this, I don't want to interrupt her sleep.

PS- she has had poo in the morning when she wakes (which she has never done). I don't know if she is going at night or right when she wakes.

I was trying to have a baby until three months ago when I had a heart attack caused by a disease I had when I was a child that was passed off as a food allergy until a few months ago. I have little to no damage to my heart and am able to work and exercise as normal. Since the heart attack I have been thinking it may be a better choice for me to choose adoption then try having a baby. Does it disqualify my from adopting since I have had a heart attack? I am single and have been dateing the same man for 18 yrs but will be adopting alone. He does not live in my home either. So I will be the sole care taker.

They suspect we are have sex, and we are, but doesn't she have doctor/patient confidentiality so that the doctor doesn't necessarily have to tell her mother the truth? She is 16 and I really love her. I just don't want her to get in trouble and I don't know what to do.

My 2 year old is having sleeping issues. He won't go to bed until like 11pm, he still regularly gets up once during the night for a sippy of milk, he won't go to bed by himself (we have to lay down with him in our bed). Once he falls asleep we move him over to his bed in his room, but more times than not he ends up back in our bed. Help please!

I'm having twins(!) but I don't know the genders yet. I've picked out two girls names, Alea Marie and Lila Irene (middle names are family names) What do you think?

Also for boys, I like Milo and Shia but I can't find any middles to go with them. Any ideas and opinions are appreciated!

Me and my brother was talking about marriage. I was asking him since he was 28 if he thought about marraige and he said yes and he add that he wanted to give my parents (who are in their 50s) a grandchild before they passed. I was telling that it was a good idea but it's also nice to adopt. He said he wanted his own (natural) kid. I was wondering what the real difference was? I'm just saying if you love a child, why does it matter if it came from you or another person? Isn't love just that? love?

I am 20 and she will be 40 once bub is born. Its her first grandchild and she is a very young looking and acting 40 year old (more like 35)

She doesnt want to be called 'grandma'

My grandmother has the name 'nana' and her mother is 'granny' so those two are used up..

She said an unconventional name people have these days, such as 'noni'

Anyone have any suggestions? lol
