Pregnancy & Parenting - 18 December 2007

I already asked this in the right section but got basically no help and I need help. This is the most popular place. I will choose best answer!

My Computer [Laptop] is a Compaq just got it a year ago this month. The Virus protection ran out recently and I have not had the chance to pick up a new one. THis same thing happened to my friends computer of the same type. Our Wireless Assistants disappeared and will not turn on or open once we find the file. Nor will the light go back to blue signaling it has a conenction: It stays orange. I need to fix this before my dad gets home I don't know how it happened. Before I went to sleep the other night it was working. Then this!

If I reformat it will everything be erased that I have saved:? I do editing work an dhave different files for projects open. And how would I do that? [Reformat I mean?] My desktop computer hooks through cable. My laptop runs off it.

We've been invited to four Christmas parties this year where Santa will be attending as well as going to see him at the mall. I'm getting tired of him! LOL! Anyway, is it just here or is it the 'new ' thing to have to bring a 'wrapped' gift from Santa? Every party we go to [even the mall] Santa gives out a gift. So, that means we've already had to give our son three Christmas presents. Is it just me or is this just fueling materialism? Growing up, when I went to see Santa we'd sit on his lap, take a picture, tell him what we wanted for Christmas, and go home. There were no gifts! Uggh. I'm so sick of it already and to think I'm having another one.

So, it is just something that happens here or is it changing every where? What do you think about it?

Please don't think I'm a Grinch. Trust me, I'm as festive as the next person. I just hate that Christmas these days is ONLY about gifts.

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian court has ruled that a couple could not name their son "Friday" and ordered that he instead be called Gregory after the saint whose feast day he was born on.
Friday/Gregory Germano was born in Genoa 15 months ago. The parents registered him as Friday in the city hall and a priest even baptised him as Friday -- unusual in Italy since many priests insist that first names be of Christian origin.

When the boy was about five months old, a city hall clerk brought the odd name to the attention of a tribunal, which informed the couple of an administrative norm which bars parents from giving "ridiculous or shameful" first names ...

My husband and I are planning on trying to conceive here in the not so distant future. I am doing everything I can to try to insure that my body is ready. I am taking Vitex 500mg, B6 100MCG, Vitiman C. 1,000 MCG, and Folic Acid 800 mcg. I also drink a glass or two of milk a day. How long after being on all this should I then start trying to conceive? I know some of this stuff they say increase your chance for twins do you think that is so?
Thanks

Yesterday my 2 yr old tripped and fell and hit his head on the corner of wooden pallet walmart had a display sitting on,and got a nasty gash on his head,he had to get 1 stitch.I am thinking of going and talking to the store manager and letting them know what happened and also to let them know that somethings in there store are dangerous for little kids,I don't want anything from them,money or anything but I want to bring to their attention that they may want to change something around in their store,it could have been much worse 2 inches lower and it would have hit his left eye,THANK GOD it didn't...

What is your opinion on this do you think I should go and talk to them,my hubby doesn't want to do anything,but I want to bring it to their attention so it can be prevented in the future, what do you think??

I am a mother of a 4 year old and I have a baby due in 14 days. My daughter (the 4 yr old) is by my ex husband. Every Christmas we have to switch off on who gets to keep her on Christmas Eve night. Well this is his year to keep her and I know I am going to cry my eyes out. The year before last when she was 2 and he had her, I didn't sleep a wink and I cried all night long. Now, being 9 months pregnant and emotional as ever, I need to keep myself calm. What do you think I could do or not do to get upset. Thanks so much in advance

Thanks for reading this. My husband, two year old daughter and I live in a small, 900 square foot, 2 bedroom house. The rooms in our house are the combination living/dining area, the kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. We are expecting our second baby in March and I'm kinda stressing about how we're going to find the room because it already feels like we have outgrown this place with just one child. For example, we have very little storage space - just the 2 small bedroom closets. We don't have a lot of furniture or stuff (I hate clutter so I like to minimize it) and right now my daughter's toys are stored in her room around along the walls. How do you make it work? Moving is not an option (my husband doesn't want to move from this house at all, nor does he want to add on). I really need some advice for kids sharing a room and for making raising 2 kids work in a small house! Thanks for your time and God bless!

Like....no dicipline at all?

Im not jealous, or angry. Not anymore anyways since I am now 25. But my little sister is 17 and does not have to do a damn thing around the house. When I lived there, I had daily chores on top of having to wake up at 8am every Saturday morning and clean the ENTIRE house. I would get yelled at if I forgot to polish the table legs!!!!

So why does my sister have to do absolutely nothing??

Ok so I've been on the pill for over a year and before that i was on the patch for a year so all in all, i've been on birth control for 2+years. Last month, my period was only 2 days and was real short. I suspected pregnancy. So i told my husband to get me a test. When i took it, it said i was positive, 2 dark lines. I was only a week into my new pack of pills so i immediately stopped it because i thought i was pregnant. we were ecstatic because we were thinkin of having a baby so we celebrated the whole week, if you catch my drift. *wink* anyways, i find out that he gave me an ovulation test!! when i saw the box in the garbage... so now im wondering could i be really pregnant now??

all in all... i hope that i am now pregnant because i was soo happy when i thought i was!!

I have a question.....Why do more & more parents pick the day that their children are going to be born?

I mean I understand inducing past a due date, but when I see posts about people inducing before a wedding or so the birthday would be no where too close to a holiday....that bugs me.

That to me is making it a convenience to you....It just seems a bit wrong to plan your childs' birth like that.

I DO understand the medical need to, like a c section or WAY past due date....but if you can, why not just wait....there are few surprises in life.....

I dunno, it just seems a bit strange to me.....

I drink almost a gallon of water a day as recommended by my OBGYN, so my urine is always light to clear. But I'm getting an awfully weird/strong odor from it. I don't have any symptoms of a UTI, so I doubt that's it. I feel like I've called the doc way too much, so I was just hoping someone might know if that's normal or not. Thanks!
