Still learning to get the accurate temp in the morning. However, I noticed that if I stick it in a slightly different area of my mouth, I get a different temp. So, I tried to place it in the same general locale in the mouth. Also, even if I stick it in the same area in the mouth the second time, I'd get a temp as different as .2 lower. Is this normal?

Well, I'm now pregnant and up until now I have gotten a Vente coffee at starbucks atleast four times a week.

As soon as I found out about my pregnancy I stopped but it has been killing me. I'm so exhausted and tired and I can hardly function. lol.

Is there any way I can "perk myself up" in the morning without caffine??

My daughter is 8 months old and is FINALLY getting a tooth, its hurting her pretty bad but she is doing really good. She is still sleeping through the night and is just a little extra whingy. The thing that seems to bug her most is her nose. It is clear and runny but its stopping her from drinking her bottle, and when she is asleep i can hear it in her nose all yucky when she breathes. The only time she can clear it is when she sneezes lol. I have tried vicks but its not blocked so its not helping, also her eyes are runny too like she has an allergy even though its just from her teeth. Is there any tricks to help with her nose??

My 1 year old started this thing, where she takes an object (a toy, TV remote, phone, whatever) in her hand and she hits in on her head, then says "owww", like it hurts, then does it again and again. And she hits herself pretty hard. She'll also hit her head against furniture (the couch, wooden rocking chair). Then last night, scared the crap out of me. She was sitting on the hard wood floor, and bent down towards the floor and hit her head on the floor, said owww, and did it again, and then again, VERY HARD. And cried her eyes out forever.
The first time she hits herself, we tell her, "no no baby, that's ouchie, dont hit yourself, it's bad". Or something along the lines of that,she'll smile & do it again until she is in tears.
I have no clue why she's doing it or where she got it from. This is a non-violent household. My fiance & I do not hit hit each other or play around in that sort of manner. She's not around other children so I dont get why she's doing this or where she got it

I have a 13 year old boy, very cute, dark hair, big blue eyes, but quiet and a little chubby. He is still a little short, his father myself and his big brother are all 5'10"- 6+ ft so I know his growth spirt is coming. He is a computer smartie and kinda a goodie goodie. I am very proud of him! He is funny and charming, polite and creative, but he is shy around others. I am trying to get him slimmed down by changing his meals, taking him in to get his hair cut to a modern style. He stays alone alot. Everyone that meets him loves him, I am trying to get him into groups, clubs, programs. I hate to see him alone with such low self esteem. Nothing seems to be working. What are *GOOD* kids today into?

For example, would you recommend challenging games, playing classical music to them, or reading to them at night? These are just examples that I've been giving. But I know a few parents that did all of these things and their kids are average. And I know that every child can't be the smartest but I want to put forth my best effort.

The scenario: For the past several days, my 3 y.o. daughter has refused to comb her hair or put her shoes on so we can go somewhere (even if it's fun, like the park.) I say "Ok, then we're not going anywhere" and then it turns into a one hour tantrum while I"m ignoring her. Then I make her put her shoes on and brush her hair with her kicking and screaming. The truth is that she's punishing me because I don't want to stay home all day. Any advice? Pls don't suggesting spanking, I don't do that in my house (but I don't judge anyone who does.)

When I first heard of the tragic events that led up to the death of Baby Grace, real name Riley Ann Sawyer, My heart just broke in two and I burst into tears and could not stop crying for her. I cant understand why a mother would do that to her own 2 year old daughter, or even watch her husband do that to her child. She was helpless and too young and small to even defend herself, all she wanted like all children want is to be loved by her mommy, and look what she got, something she did not ever deserve. I have a 2 year old son who is the exact age as Riley, he was born march of 2005, the same as her. and I have so much love for my son, and thank God for him all the time, that I would never ever ever even imagine hurting him the way Riley was hurt by her own mother. I hate that woman so much for what she did Riley that I really wish someone would do to her what she did to Riley, beat her with a belt, hold HER head underwater and pick her up by the hair and throw her against a wall

My Boyfriend and I have been together for about 3 years and lived together for the last year, recently we have been talking about getting engaged and starting a family next year (I am 24 and he is 28) He seems really keen on starting a family and would do it now if I would let him. I want to be engaged first and would like it to be soon, I have been talking about us going ring shopping and he says yes, but just doesn't seem all that keen? Any ideas why?

Hi! I had on episode yesterday and once today of some brownish discharge mixed with clear cm when I wiped. It happened yesterday around 10 am & once today at around 10 am. I don't need to wear a pad or anything. Up until yesterday I had had 3-4 days of period like cramps w/ slight cramping feeling on & off for 10 days. Also had and continue to have really sore breasts. I have no cramping today. I do have a full feeling (but I also ate a large lunch LOL!) and sore breasts but that is it. I am on cd 28 today (usually have 26-29 day cycles). I will test Friday morning if I can work up the courage to do so. I have never had this sort of discharge/spotting before AF. Usually I get a medium to heavy flow first day of AF and bad cramping that day and am a little moody a day or so before. I was moody some last week but none the past few days. Still thinking AF might show. Crazy but just wanting to give those that are following an update and get some advice for those that are just reading.

my husband came home from Iraq on the 8th (of November) and on the 25th and 26th I took pregnancy tests, my period isn't expected until the 29th or 30th but both of the pregnancy tests had a light blue line making it into a plus sign its hard to explain unless you have seen one but its a plus sign if your pregnant and a minus if your not, well the minus line was very clear but the vertical line was lighter on both!! you could tell it was there but I don't know what tp think, I really want to be pregnant but I have a doubt in my mind. anyways I just wanted to know how likely it is to get 2 positives and not be pregnant, oh and I'm having cramps and I dont know if that is a sign of pregnansy or not!

I was looking for other versions of the name Samantha, to keep the nicknake sam.
I came across the name Samarie.
It's cute, but i feel it could be a struggle to say.
Then i found a version, Samany.
I think it's beautiful, and easy to pronounce, [sam - inn - eee].
What are you're thoughts, for a daughter named Samany.
