Pregnancy & Parenting - 27 December 2007

I truly understand why some are against rice cereal. But what are some good starter foods then. I have a VERY nice blender so whatever I make can come from my own pantry. Do you recommend fresh veggies or are the frozen kind good as well (I don't eat canned veggies so don't worry about that).

And she's not starting soon, only 2 mo's, but I'm just curious what you feed your child in the beginning if not rice cereal.

My partner and I have been together for 15 years and about 7 years ago we decided to have a baby. Now we have our daughter Miriam and she's a happy kid except for when she's at school. When she's at school a lot of the kids make fun of her for having two mommies.

How can I help her/ make them stop teasing her?

I'm not naming a baby, I'm just looking for something that sounds good as a last name for other reasons.

Hi
My husband and I have a three week new baby boy. It took us a long time and effort to get pregnant - we both wanted this child for a long, long time (been married 10 years). Now that the baby here I can't believe how my husband is acting....He still works late, still enjoys relaxing with a few beers and then wants to handle a newborn - not drunk but he's not himself. I find this behaviour shocking - didn't he think his life would change? After 3 weeks he finally felt he was ready to change his first diaper but I wasn't allowed to help.....I listened to my baby cry for 2 mins. before I forced my way in....he wont let me suggest anything. Not sure how to get through to him - he's driving me crazy (even more crazy than the usual hormonal crazies I've been feeling ie. very protective of my new baby). Or, is it me? Do other husbands act like this? Feeling worried and nervous about this whole situation.
thanks for any advice

we feel convicted to give our child a name with a good literal meaning, or family meaning, or after a meaningful person. but the literal meaning seems very important to us. just wanted thoughts from others.

I am 32 weeks pregnant and recently read an article a woman wrote about losing her child at 34 weeks. This has terrified me, i know you are never 100% safe but i thought i could relax a little now. She just stopped feeling movement. What are the chances of that?

When you adopt a family of children, say 5 kids. Do you get any money after the adoption is final.. Say they are a minority, and all brothers and sisters. I was just wondering if you end up paying for everything on your own...

At the last appointment she was dilated a half centimeter and that was two weeks ago. She is having contraction but we think they are Braxton Hicks. She lost the mucous plug as well. She is having pain in her lower tummy and lower back.

My niece is on a cheerleading team and I said I'd coach.

The school said we should try the coed thing and I was really liking it.

Today the princapal called me in and said that the boys are really distracted by the way I dress. I'm 28 and these boys are 16-18. He say that the boys take pictures of me in my tank and shorts and put it in their lockers. They say that I am sexually harrassing them, when I never touched them!

They say I need to stop dressing like this or I will be fired! Is this fair? What should I do?

i read some of the other posts about pregnancy symptoms but i have to ask. i had my period for only a couple days and i feel so tired and my whole body (including my breasts) are very sore. i took a test but it came back negative and i have to take another one but i was trying to wait until after the holidays (they were stressful enough) i do not have morning sickness or anything like that. i don't want to get too excited if i end up not being pregnant but i've never felt this way during my period. any advice would be appreciated!

This has nothing to do with me, but my friend who is female has been sexually active... very sexually active lately and she is worried that she is pregnant now. Over aim she told me she had sex with this guy in the car and that she was giving him oral, and that he started to ejeculate... then she said that he put on a condom and went inside of her, but then the condom kind of slipped off, but he did not ejaculate again when he was inside her. She wanted me to ask any of you if she can still get pregnant from the guys ejaculation before he went inside of her.

I have a friend with a child that has Downs Syndrome and I think this child is an exceptional human being! She is friendlier
than most adults I know and I really enjoy being around her. She makes me smile when I have had a rough day.Every day is happy for her. I think God gives these "special" children to special people because they teach us so much. Any of you special parents care to share something about your precious gift from God?
