Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 December 2007

I am only 19 years old and I just had a baby in august. my first one! I wanted to look for Halloween costume for her, but my husbands mother bought one, and I didn't want to be rude and be like no. So I made it clear I was going to do everything first for my daughter.

Christmas dresses were coming out and I was so excited to get her one, I went with my mother to the store and I found some I liked, but my mom told me that my husbands family already bought a cute one. My feelings were hurt and I let them know that it upset me.

So I was going to just buy one and use one for Xmas and Xmas eve, and then I was working soo much and I was thinking where to take her for Santa, and my sister took her without letting me know. She got her pictures taken and on the front page paper! I was upset soo upset, so I was going to take her the weekend before xmas, and then I was helping my husbands family move and we were talking. My sister in law told me are you still upset about your sister taking

It just seems so unnecessary. It's pain that a baby doesn't need to go through. The parents aren't giving that child a choice about getting her ears pierced. I just don't get it. So why do people have that done to their babies?

My boyfriend and I have been together for nearly two years and I love him so much. Even though we are just "friends" right now we still talk and have that connection. Well, I found out I was pregnant by him... again. I ended my first pregnancy with an abortion but I just can't go through that again. His mind is made up, he doesn't want the baby. He told me that I am getting an abortion. To be honest, we are too young to be parents and I'm not quite ready either. His little comments like "You're not having this baby if I have anything to do with it" kind of scare me. I am willing to have this baby and give it up for adoption to a loving family since we are young. Can he make me get an abortion since he is the father?

We would also want to call the new baby by both names.
Charlotte Maeve
Olivia Rose
Anna Lise
Any other suggestions that are very feminine sounding and would sound beautiful when both the first and middle name are used together...

I don't mean the birth.. i mean actually having a baby around. With the crying and screaming, and not sleeping..... how hard is it? Is it worse or better than you thought it was?

I am 32 weeks pregnant and recently learned in my labor basics class that many women have to have an episiotomy when giving birth vaginally. Does this hurt really bad? It sounds very scary to me? Can someone further explain the process to me?

My 7 mo old son has been projectile vomiting milk/formula for the past 24 hours. I switched from Similac to Enfamil, no change. He either throws up right after feeding 2-3 oz (vs usual 5-6 oz) or after 30-60 min (curdled vomit). I am not sure if he is tolerating breastmilk, he doesnt want to nurse more than a couple of minutes. He's keeping solids (BRAT diet) down mostly, but has projectile vomited apple juice. His tummy looks full even though he's eaten < 6-7 oz of solids and 2-3 oz net of any milk all day today. Bowel/urine are ok so far.
My husband has cough/cold, baby probably caught it.
Ped thinks its stomach virus (probably means she has no clue). Can he develop milk allergy this late? What should I do near term?

My periods are very irregular. My dr put me on provera for 10 days to make me start. on day 5, My husband and I had sex. (we are ttc) @ day 10, still no period. It's been 17 days since I started them, and a week since I finished them them. Today when I went to the bathroom, when I wiped, ther was a clear and brown discharge. No more bleeding except when I went to the bathroom once and when I wiped, very very light pink. There's no blood in my urine.I have slight cramping in my lower right back. Does this sound like the start of my period or implantaion bleeding?

My two and a half year old dughter has been fully potty trained since September, but the past two weeks refuses to poop. She holds it in and just wont go untill she really has no choice. She says she isnt going to go any more.
The doctor told me this is normal toddler behavior and to give her Little Tummies Drops. Does anyone have any experience with this or other advice.
Thanks

My husbands family is staying for a couple of weeks or so over the holiday season and since I am on bed rest, I have decided to order them all around. (It is lots of fun!!!)

http://www.decor.net.au/c/theme/the...
This is the theme of my last nursery. The underwater theme.

Now my problem is this theme was going to be a space theme, but I don't want the room to be real dark. I like bright airy places.
We have glow in the dark stars for the roof, and a planet mobile. Now I am stuck.

What kind of wall pattern, colours could I do??

I should add, I don't care if it is wall paper or paint. I am not putting it up. And the nursery is only used until the babies move into their own room, so it doesn't have to last forever. :)

Thanks. Any idea's would be awesome!!

How many of your characteristics go into the child when you donate an egg? Do you share physical characteristics? Will they have the same blood type as you? DNA? Is it the same as donating sperm?

Thanks for your help :)

What do you think of the name Braedyn Leonard Lima? I love the first name cause it is both english and Irish (like me) but the middle name can be changed if you have any names you think fit better.

"Every baby name has a name meaning. Some names with multiple origins have more than one meaning. Look below to see the meaning of the name Braedyn.

English meaning of the boy´s name Braedyn:
broad hillside

Irish meaning of the boy´s name Braedyn:
brave "

my friend is like 5'0 or 4'9 and she is constantly complaining about this height because she is very small, slim, and short for her age (14). I always encourage her by saying that she will grow and it's ok, and i am her friend 4 her personality, not her height, but still, all the time she is complaining about her height. I told her 2 try stretches or something cuz i dont know wut else is causing it... yes, her parents are about average height so no one expects her 2 be super tall, but i dont get it! she eats a balanced diet and plays sports... I do know that her family has a lot of stress right now...anyway, all i can do is encourage her, never nag her, and tell others not to insult her... I know she is having family problems ( custody issues) and she doesn't need any more stress, so if anyone knows of any tips i can mention 2 her that might make her taller or seem taller, thanks.
