Pregnancy & Parenting - 16 December 2007

I have found a name for my son to be son that i love
Maximus B but this is a problem its the name of my ex that was very abusive and my husband hates this man who was also his friend ,,,,,, my husband doesnt want to use the name for this reason but i feel if i ruled out every name that had a bad history there would be none left and i just really like this name for our son do you think its wierd to use this name even though we have no connection with my ex anymore we havent speaken to him or seen him in 5 years and we live 15 hours away from him

Is it safe to sleep on your side during pregnancy? I am a side sleeper and am wondering if the only safe way to sleep while pregnant is on your back???

We are leaving this week for 10 days to visit family in another state, and I feel like there's no way we could pack less...
B/w my husband and I we have 2 suitcases for clothes. My 2 year old has a small suitcase with his clothes. I am taking a small backpack with camera and stuff...
We have to take the stroller..
We have to take the diaper bag...
We have to take another small bag with his medications and his nebulizer...
Is it normal to carry so much for just 2 adults and 1 kid... thank goodness we rented a full size car...

For the nice people that anwered my questions - thank you for ansering with your honost opinion, that it wasn't a good idea and maybe I needed some help and was just feeling stressed like all parents but I deleted my questions because other people were just too mean. I just feel sometimes like I am not good enough and most people on here sure know how to make you feel even worse than you felt before asking for help.
Merry Christmas to you all!

I had younger (19-20 years old) parents, and I know people who had older parents, and I know that there are advantages and disadvantages for each. Which did you have, and in what ways was it good or bad? For parents, why did you choose to have your children younger, or older?

i have posted the name Aebree/, Abry, /Aebrie, several times for peoples opinions and i know that it is not pronounced Aubrey but people have told me that im illiterate and that Aebrie should be spelled Aubrey and its really making me mad for people to criticize my spelling when the name is Aebrie NOT Aubry. so i was wondering if you would say Aubry if it was spelled like Aebrie or Aebree. or if Im right

what are their ages and names? and do you want more? or do you wish you had less? (not that you'd trade one for the world, but generally speaking)

my son is 7 1/2 months old. when is it appropriate to begin dicipline when he does something like pulling hair? i know hes doing it because its interesting to him and hes not ready to be diciplined yet, but when will he be? when i tell him no in a bit of a stern fashion, he gets a big smile and laughs at me, its pretty cute lol. so, when did you start telling your children NO and really meant it? when did you begin diciplining them (as in taking them away from the situation if they wont stop doing what is inappropriate?

I don't believe in letting her wear makeup, just lip gloss on special occasions. So, I just asked him to make sure he purchased some make up soap and had her cleaned up before he brought her home. He asked why. Instead of just saying ok, I will clean it off, he started in on me like I had a mental problem because I dont let her put on bright blue hooker makeup. I am trying to raise her to believe that she has natural beauty and I steer clear of makeup on her at a young age, she also does not have her ears pierced. I know this is one of the buttons that my ex likes to push, and I don't care if she does it at his house. I just asked him to clean it off before she gets home. Now I am the bad guy because I am going to have to scrub her good to get this much off. Is 6 too young to be pouring on the makeup??? I think that it is....

i was so dizzy.. even though i was still laying on my bed.. i was too scared to even think about standing up for a while.. but then finally i stood up and went to the washroom..feeling very dizzy and lightheaded... well after that i went downstairs. i felt like i had no energy and laid on the couch for abit.. so i thought ill feel better if i eat.. but when i went to the kitchen.. i started feeling very very nauseaus.. i continued to feel nauseaus and thought i would vomit so i went back to the washroom.. but then i thought i shudnt make myself throw up unless it comes out.. so i went back to my bed.. and continued feeling this way. . i took another little nap.. and now im still feeling this way.. except a little less dizzy.. could this be a big sign of pregnancy? if i am pregnant i shud b almost 4 weeks (from last period date)

She dated this guy a few times, does not love him, says she wants him to give up parental rights to child and raise child alone. He has already given up parental rights previously when he got another girl pregnant. He's not a criminal or druggie. What's best for the child is the main question.
