Premature baby. How early is too early?

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 20 Jul 08

My stepson's girlfriend is expecting their first child, a girl, and she recently developed problems with her vision. After seeing her OBGYN and a specialist it was determined that there is too much pressure to her optic nerves and...

mescue I had a 32 weeker. I started contracting at 29 weeks for no reason. Do you know how many weeks along she is? The reason I ask is that doctors determine pregnancy by weeks and not months (the math doesn't add up if you go by months). A full term pregnancy is...

What do you say to your spouse or boyfriend as they are leaving for work?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 11 Jul 08

Whenever my spouse leaves for work, I'm always sure to give him a kiss and say, "I love you!" Sometimes, I remind him of the various things we need from the store that he can purchase the next morning on his way home. How...

mescue I'm a big believer in saying "I love you". My husband leaves for work really early in the AM but he will wake me and we both say the "I love you's" and give the smoochy smooches. I always call him when I wake up a few hours later just to make sure he made it...

The unanswered cell phone call....

cream97 @cream97 (29085) • United States 11 Jul 08

My husband tends to have his cell phone on it around most of the times. But lately, when I am around him, and if his cell phone rings he will look at the caller-Id. And he will close his phone back up. This usually happens when I...

mescue I always ask my husband who was calling. He does the same to me. The way I see it, when you're married you should be able to ask anything. Call it being nosey or just being curious. I have nothing to hide and neither does my husband. If I were you, I would...

Do you believe that babies can see their angel?

spalladino @spalladino (17891) • United States 29 May 08

When I was little my grandmother told me that my baby cousin was talking to her guardian angel because she was looking at nothing really but enjoying it quite a lot. Since that time I have noticed the same behavior in my children...

mescue This still scares me! LOL!! Not only did my daughter do this but my cats as well. I never heard that is was their guardian angel just that babies and animals are more aware of "other" things around us that we may not be able to see. It still bothers me with my...

Talk on your own time, not on mine??

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 9 Jul 08

This is a vent. Based on a lot of threads I've seen about cell phones and usage even though I haven't experienced many headaches in real life, I would like to know why so many people have it in for regular cell phone users. I see...

mescue So I agree with the typical; not in movies, not in church, not while driving (although I am guilty of this one from time to time). I love my cell. I would be lost without it. I also have email on it so it's very convenient. My husband has a work cell and a...

How much did you gain during pregnancy?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 9 Jul 08

I gained an average 35 lbs (but I gained 28 of them all in the third trimester after losing 8 in the first). I know people who gained over 100 and people who LOST up to 15. How about you? Did you have trouble losing it after? I...

mescue All you can do is love him and accept him any which way. He may still be going through a phase. If he continues as he gets older, sit down with him and ask him how he feels about himself. If this is not a phase, don't see it as something wrong or bad. Lots of...

How do you reward your child when they've been good?

beautyqueen26 @beautyqueen26 (16030) • United States 18 May 08

I'm trying to get my daughter in the habit of being good for goodness sake and not in exchange for treats. But, sometimes it's tough. She's still at that age where she thinks every good deed should deserve a reward. I made my bed,...

mescue I give hugs and kisses...all the time. I don't reward with a toy or treat. My daughter rarely wants anything. I'll admit, I want everything for her. She's only two so I normally tell her when she has done something that mommy is proud of and I tell her why I...

How long do you think you should know a person before you get married? How long did you know your spouse before you married them?

mescue My husband and I met, dated, got pregnant and married all in the same year. I wouldn't change it for anything. For my husband, it was love at first sight. It took me longer but once I felt 'that' feeling, I knew he was the one.

Roaches roaches everywhere! Run?

mommyboo @mommyboo (13174) • United States 6 Jul 08

When/if you see a roach, what do you normally do? Do you scream and run, or do you get all commando like me and grab a can of RAID and spray the heck out of it until it rolls over and dies? Ok, I admit that I scream too, and if my...

mescue I don't do bugs of any kind. I can kill almost everything, except for spiders and anything flying. I will use a whole can of spray just to make sure the bug is dead. If it's a spider, I run...just not as fast as my husband! When I was in school we had to...

mescue I told my husband from the beginning, I won't be cheated on and I won't be hit. Not all men cheat. Why would you give your husband another chance? If he really loved you, he wouldn't have cheated the first time. If he actually told you that he won't promise...
