EmTmAr + Baby Megan IS HERE!

I have a few questions..I noticed that the shift thing don't know what its called but where you put the car in drive and park..well anyway..the lights for the letters don't light up..is that normal..if not how can I fix it? and aren't the PRDN lights supposed to also be in the area where the speedometer thing is at also? not to big of a problem because car runs pretty good thus far..but its a pain having to maneuver in the dark..thanks in advance..

My mother is turning 50 on July 1st.. I need something inexpensive and creative...She loves plants so im thinking garden theme..but I need more ideas.

I gave my daughter 7 1/2 months old a little bit of silk soy milk because I had run out of her powder formula shes one similac isomil (soy formula- shes lactose intolerant) and it gave her diarrhea..I am def not going to give her that again but i want to know how she can get that after one bottle. I dont want to give her regular milk but now im worried. what am i going to give her when i am weening her off the formula?

For being extremly rude irate and verbally abusive? I was just wondering because there are thousands of CS reps who are just doing there job and just because the customer is mad at "the situation" they start being verbally abusive to a cs agent. I did the whole cs for a few years and i remember those calls and its like ok i know the situation is what your mad at but when you start directing that towards the agent by calling them ***** asshole etc. its like ok its not my fault so dont kill the messenger. Its not it the job description I CHECKED lol so I was just wondering.

Sooo I had my first princess 2 months ago..and gotta say I LOVE BEING A MOM every time i see her smile i get all teary-eyed. SHes sooo amazing..I cant grow a plant for the life of me..but i grew a little person inside me and a big one might i add and shes getting so big and already cooing and smiling i love it..How long did u wait to start trying for your next baby..BTW im 25 DF is 26 and my LO is 2months. I was thinking when shes around 9 months since it did take a while to have her (5 years) i figure if i did get prego right away atleast shed be almost 2.

I had my princess via c section on feb 25. i got really light spotting for about three days around 6 weeks postpartum..i was starting the nuva ring so my nurse said it was ok to insert it that day. well 2 weeks later now im having heavier bleeding and its been going on for like a week now. I am kinda worried im getting cramps and theres clotting what if i put it in to early or something. so i took it off decided to start again next cycle to let it regulate alittle. has anyone had this happen?

I had the surgery done last tuesday and have been covering it and cleaning it after every shower..and recently I have noticed it starting to burn and its red and swollen. I think it may be infected..I am going to the dr of course for a follow up on the 14 I dont think its too bad I wanted to know what I can do while I wait so I can get it cleaned up and healed on my own..I have missed wayy to much of work already just got back from maternity leave for one day and then ended up with surgery and being off again for a week..so Any recommendations? Hydrogenperoxide? Airing it out steristrips only the other ones i took off they were so gross and bloody i didnt put any back on i think ill just use bandaids but for the belly button i duno..ugh.so what ya think?

my daughter has woken up with green crust in the corner of her right eye for the past two days..its been alittle windy out but I do cover her up..shes been sneezing and sounds congested. No fever or anything like that shes eating fine but im worried it might be a cold or allergies? Here are her symptoms..BTW im scheduling a Dr apt just in case.

Sneezing

congested..always sounds congested but when i use nasal drops and suction not much comes out

green eye boogies

O and BTW she has thrush she was recently in the hospital and i believe because of all the antibiotics she got it. Dr prescribed Nytatin or something like that and her poopies alittle more moist but not diahhrea and smelly they also changed her milk to soy. ughh shes only 5 weeks and already all this..i hope she doesnt grow up to be one of those babies thats sick all the time. so what do u think it is? alot of what i read sounds like clogged tear duct but the sneezing and congestions makes me thing allergies ihave them and so does her daddy. we live in a mobile home (renting) and there is alot of dust its next to a empty lot and in texas right now we have TO MUCH WIND!

ok so i stopped bleeding at almost 3 weeks and wound healed externally like in 2 weeks or less..sooo for some reason haha maybe since i hadnt really wanted to i am sooo horny now..lol..i feel great it doesnt hurt well the scar or anything..so were going at it and OMG lets just say i myself was a Born Again Virgin..it hurt not unbearable just def uncomfortable..so everything was great no bleeding nada..i was reading online it said to not have sex until about 4-6 weeks after c section depending on how your body heels..well im a fast healer only thing is that i think we were alittle rough because i feel sore..what were your experiences getting the love back? :P

I went to the Dr today because my princess showed a fever of 100.6 we took her clothes off and let her rest for 5 min it went down to 99.6 called Dr and they said to go in anyway. There they checked her and it was now 98 which is better but still worried.While at the Dr she pooped 3 times diahhrea..the dr wanted to bag her so they can collect urine..she wouldnt go..so they wanted blood work. they poked her little finger which took forever to draw blood from..she cried so hard my poor baby..well afterwards she started making these gasping sounds which were normal before because she does it alot but this time she was doing it wayy more frequent and her little chest was looking like her lungs were caving in..dr said it was because she was crying so hard so i said well ok..brought her home and 2.5 hrs later shes still making those noises and gasping only random now.but it looks painful..im giving her pedialite for her diahhrea and checking her temp which has been in the 97 since we got home but im still worried about the breathing..im not sleeping at all or am going to try not to because i barely get sleep as it is..but im setting my alarm clock to wake me up every hour in case i do..ugh im so worried has anyone gone through this? i have a follow up apt tomorrow morning at 9 to check on the diahhrea i dont want her to dehydrate.

Ok so like Im a FTM and my princess has green watery stool like ALOT lol..but its not diahhrea so the Dr says she poos every two to three days obviously not constipated but its like alot and watery..i looked on the net and it says it could be shes drinking to much milk which can be a possibility cuz she drinks like theres no tomorrow..or it could be a milk allergy. Just wanted some imput from the mommies anyones baby have anything similar? I called the dr hey im a FTM and my lil angel is my world so hes going to have to deal with my paranoia if thats the case lol.

I have a 2 week old princess and EVERYONE AROUND ME IS SICK! I was breastfeeding well pumping for 2 weeks but since have basically dried out because she doesnt latch on and my breast arent stimulated enough..I want to protect her from getting sick so since Ive stopped can I start back up again..its not completly dry but I barely get anything out..i just want to give her as much as I can.

So like as much as I try to keep my princess around sick people they are everywhere! My DF is sick runny nose mostly and I think its alergies but he started sneezing,.My niece is sick my retarded younger sister decided to come leave her with my mom (while shes staying with me) so she can go party coesidentally not mentioning o yea btw shes got a nasty cough and running a fever of 100.9 WTF! I call her and shes like when the fights over ill go get her IM SO PISSED..and my Idiotic brother who also is staying with me cuz my parents lost there house brings his stupid GF over and shes got the cough and crap..im so pissed my babys only 2 weeks old..I dont want her getting sick...if she does Im worried shes so tiny and delicate..I was breastfeeding for about 2 weeks well pumping cuz she wouldnt latch on but milk is drying up because they arent being stimulated enough..I had the H1N1 shot..ughh what should I do!?! I wanna just get up and take her to a hotel or something or kick them out but theyre broke and with no where else to go!

Im hispanic and there are so many old wives tales that my mother in law and like every woman in my family tells me I have to follow..for instance:

Once u have baby u cannot leave the house for 40 days..lol..I was up and about the day I left and I had a c section

always wear a girdle..I stopped wearing mine and granted my belly is alittle squishy lol..but I happened to lose all my baby weight plus 10 lbs in 2 weeks yay me..

and u cant take baby outside at all for those 40 days,,,I mean I know my princess is teeny tiny but wouldn't it be wiser to expose them to natural weather especially if its nice and warm out so the bodies can I guess u can say gain tolerance or immunity..of course if weather permits and baby is dressed appropriately and so forth. Im just saying because I know of many woman who have done the world to keep babies clean like taking vitamins while pregnant giving the child vitamins after they are born..sanitizing every corner cleaning every cranny but they are constantly sick and then u see those kids rolling around in dirt rarely ever sick i duno just a question..

Im breastfeeding and formula feeding my newborn princess..She has yellow stool so im told by everyone its normal since breastfeeding babys usually have watery stool but since she is my first I cant really tell the difference between normal and diarhhea.Shes eating normal and peeing normal doesnt have a fever or anything but she does cry alot when she goes potty and I can hear her stomach bubbling. Dr. said she was really gassy so he prescribed some gas drops for her but I duno I just wanted some imput from mommies out there. Im thinking that its because im giving both formula and breast milk since I have to back to work in a few weeks

Im wanting to know how to check the temperature on a newborn other than rectally. What should the temperature be?

Ok so I have a few questions here they are:

I am pumping my breasts because my baby doesnt latch on but I am still going to pump to atleast give her my milk by bottle..and well only the left breast seems to function.lol..the right one does not seem to lactate. I can get the colostrom well atleast alittle but the left is already starting to produce milky while "milk" I just wanted to know if they are both going to work I dont want to be lopsided..lol.

2. I had a C Section and Im bleeding well not really its like when ur about to finish a period its like pinkish and ALOT im assuming its because of the cesarean but I just wanted to see if thats normal I have my dr apt tuesday but just wanted some experiences from actual mothers and not a Male Dr.lol.

My apt was at 10am and I just wiped and it was pink..maybe wishful thinking but..could he have activate the labor/ dilation button..Ive been 1 cm dilated for two weeks now.

Ok so last week I went to the weekly apt and I was fingertip and 30 % and I went to my 37 week apt today and IM THE SAME..but im def having contractions...Not regular so Im assuming BH but my gosh they are so uncomfortable now. so like before apt it was menstrual like cramps dr checks me and rubs cervix a bit and ever since apt ive been getting stomach tightening like every 30 min and it hurts to walk even more..and so much pressure..whats going on did he activate the labor button or something im nervous I want to go to get rechecked or hooked up to something but i dont want to go and them tell me no your the same go home again..but its getting crazy..anyone else go through this or am i just being weak? lol..im so confused..can i start labor from one hour to the next?

Ok so like I work at a call center and am sitting all day but i notice that im way more comfy sitting with my legss crossed under my butt or elevated on the tower, My pricness moves alot so i dont think its bad but its not squishing her or anything right i dont want to squish her head or anything since shes like soo low already..feels like shes gonna pop out and say hey alittle room here!
