Or do I have to have my confirmation first, and will I have to get remarried in the church??

Your baby can be baptized in the Catholic Church.
As part of the ceremony the parents and godparents promise to raise the child as a Catholic.
The best way to do this is through example.
After the baptism, I suggest you continue your Catholic journey of faith.
With love in Christ.

All of the above can be done for you, why not check it out but, I do not believe you have to have all the other stuff done before your baby is baptized. I think you must promise that you raise your child in the Church. If you have no intention of going to the Catholic Church and the Masses and things they may not want to baptize the child as they will know it will not do any good because the child will not be raised in a Catholic Christian home.

Baptism, if you do it the way the Bible teaches, will happen after YOU decide to accept Jesus Christ as you Lord and Savior. It is a decision made by a person who is old enough to understand what they are doing, not for a baby who has no clue what is going on.
But I understand why you think the way you do, the catholics teach all kinds of weird stuff because they are a religion and don't teach TRUE Christianity, which is not a religion at all.

Yes, your baby can be baptized.
Having said that, the fact you want your child baptized indicates you wish to bring your child up as a Catholic. That means ensuring your child also receives the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Holy Communion, and Confirmation.
If you yourself have not received any of hte above Sacraments, it is highly recommended you do so. Otherwise, how do you justify having your child do all this when you haven't?
The best way to lead is by example. Just as you want your child to be Baptized, please be sure you receive the Sacraments you will eventually have your child receive as well.

I'm pretty sure that your child can be baptized in the Church. I don't know about the Catholic Church but Lutheran, Methodist, and others will baptize the child.

The Catholic Church don't have any records from the LDS church. when you're Catholic on your heart & fairly favor to be a godmother then you fairly are waiting to objective this. once you've been baptized you've been baptized into the LORDS church. merely because a LDS baptized you it does no longer eliminate from the actual undeniable actuality that you're forgiven and kept. God knows your heart. refer to Him. in case you sense a confession is had to loose your self from feeling like you made a mistake then do this. i'm no longer Catholic,yet i understand Catholics are good human beings,and extra importantly~~GOD knows YOU! Take Care & Peace~~

Of course you can get the baby baptized Catholic. It's a non-issue.

He certainly can, but what faith are you going to transmit to your child. Look for a way to finish your first communion and confirmation. The future of tomorrow are not the kids, but the parents who transmit the faith to their kids, without faith there is no future.

Talk to a priest. You would be surprised how liberal the Church has become. I have never heard of anyone ever being turned away.

Of course your baby can and should be baptized. If your church will not do it, check with another. No child should be turned away based on your faith or situation.
