I doubt mine would. The most I can see him doing is whining someone to death. Lol. If anyone saw the Supernanny episode a few weeks ago with the whiner dad, that's how my dh is.

I think any color is ok, and black would be cute.

I agree with you 100%. In fact, everything you listed is the reason I do most of the regular childhood vaccinations...I'm relatively sure my kids would be fine if they were to contract, say, measles, but there are those whose systems are compromised enough that they must rely on the herd immunity.

I don't know that I'd try yogurt with a 6 week old. I have heard that gentian violet works well but I've never tried it because it apparently stains everything purple. My kids got thrush, and we get a prescription from the doctor that clears it up very quickly. I want to say it's called diflucan but that might not be right. It's been a while since we've needed it.
In any event, don't feel bad. ...

...and it feels sooooo weird. It's almost surreal seeing the formerly blue walls turn pink, and while I loved all the themes I've done for the boys....cars, and dinosaurs, and dots, and stripes, and blue walls with clouds, and boyish teddy bears, and baseball, and army, and even a wolf-themed room.....it's nice to be sketching butterflies and flowers. Nice, but WEIRD. Lol. I feel like I'm in the T...

If it were me, I would definitely go the hospital route. With even a tiny bit of doubt, if God forbid anything did go wrong, I think you might blame yourself forever. At least, I would. While the hospital may not be the way you like it, it's only for a day or two and, for me, I would much rather berate myself for my doubts that never came to fruition after having a safe outcome than feel guilty ...

My best trick was always the older brother and cheerios. I'd bring them both in, toss a few cheerios in the toilet, and the older one would shoot target practice. Didn't take the younger one long at all to figure out how the whole thing worked. We used to laugh at ds4 because he would holler, "cheewios!" as he ran to the potty. [:P]

You know what, dream? In most cases I would agree with you. But I really am having a hard time with this, because your vehemence is way out of whack in relation to the original post.
Remind me again where she claimed to hate Mel Gibson? Where she said that she'd hate her kid? Where she claimed to be entitled to what she wanted?????
All she said was that celebs seem to get what they want. An...

Fairyfloss, I totally understand. Sometimes the bad posts sneak in, and sometimes it's incredibly hard not to respond. I can't even count the number of times I've fired off a scathing reply to some posts. Fortunately, *most* of the time I can walk away for a few minutes and cool off so I can either edit what I wrote before posting or just delete it all together.
But it's definitely hard sometimes...

It's not insulting to me.
But maybe that's because I read the post in the context it was intended, by a poster who has one girl and wants another....written about a celebrity who had one girl and just got another. Seems really self-explanatory to me and is quite similar to dozens of other posts about celebs who seemingly so easily get what we want.
Again, it's all about perception. MANY of ...

Or you can do what I do and avoid posts written by people you know will upset you. Maureen has been kind enough to set up 4 billion other areas on this site....on days when I know I just can't handle anything heavy, I go hang out in mommy mayhem or one of the other lighter forums.

I agree.
There are lots of posts that can be upsetting. You just have to know when to walk away from them. And it also helps to realize that someone "bashing" on one gender is not speaking specifically of your child. Just because someone may be having a bad day and may say something like "boys are loud and dirty" in no way means that MY boys are loud and dirty....even though sometimes they ar...

I am seriously laughing that this post has turned into a mini debate. It's not unreasonable to think that after 7 sons and 1 daughter that he would prefer another girl....just as it's not unreasonable for someone dealing with GD in any form to perceive the fact that he had another girl as a 'wish come true' for him. Perception does not always equal fact, and perceptions are SUBJECTIVE. What is so ...

I think that if you can ask for a senior discount at the same time that your child falls into the "age 3 and under eat free" category, you are probably too old.
Otherwise, I think age is just a number and as others have pointed out, you never know what will happen.

Let's see. My doc does a 2 week and 6 week check, then 2 months, 4 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months. After that is 15, 18, and 24 months.

I'm so sorry. Most of the time it feels like people's stupid comments are what makes it the most difficult. As for what to say to people, it pretty much depends on the comment. I've handled some gracefully, but will admit to saying 'what a stupid question' a time or two.

She will see this when she comes back, regardless of where it is posted. She has a lot on her plate right now, with her pregnancy, and her and her family being sick with swine flu. She is getting some much needed rest. I've had the flu and it's awful...I can't imagine how draining it must be while pregnant.

What a little sweetheart! I think kids can handle knowing (in case they ever find out) that they were a GD baby. I've answered the question several times..."did you wish I was a girl?" and as long as you're honest it shouldn't cause any problems. A couple of my responses: 'Kind of, until I met you, and after that I wouldn't have traded you for all of the girls in the world!' And 'Remember that tim...
