GIRL Names!!!! Help, I'm Drawing a Blank

Wow! I just saw a post where someone asked advice for baby boy names and ya'll gave the BEST suggestions!!! Can you do the same for me but for a girl? She's due in Jan. I have a 16 mo old son named William Marco. We call him Marco. My Dad's suggestion is Petra Paulina but NO THANKS! It sounds nice but too harsh I think. I have so many boy name ideas but now that I'm having a girl I am drawing a complete blank! My husband likes Allegra but that sounds like allergy medicine to me. Maybe one of ya'll will suggest something that I TOTALLY love...

Question About Letting Baby Cry Himself to Sleep

My baby boy is 9 months old. He was breastfed but is now on solid food and drinks formula. He wakes up 1-2 times a night to drink formula and goes back to sleep. He usually goes down around 9:00 p.m. and sleeps until 8:00-9:00 the next day, waking up during the night 1-2 times. I walk him to sleep. Lately he has been waking up around 5:30 a.m., drinking some bottle, and acting very sleepy but fighting it. I walk him but he fusses and won't let himself just drift back to sleep. Twice I have just layed him back in his crib, made sure he...

I Think I Am Pregnant.

I think I am pregnant. When my husband and I started dating, he made it clear that he didn't want anymore kids, that the one I had was enough. I told him it was important to me to have at least one more but that I wanted to wait until we had been married for awhile before we tried to have one. However, I have been feeling VERY tired and SUPER cranky and have EXTREMELY tender breasts. So I took a test and it was positive. Then I took another and it was negitive. My question to you other moms, have any of you ever been in this situation? If...

Uggh! My Mother Wants to Be in the Delivery Room!

My mother has once again requested to be in the delivery room to "see" her grandchild being born. We've been through this twice before - both times I said no (with my two prior pregnancies). My mom's take is that this will most likely be her last grandchild and that she has always wanted to see a baby be born, but have never had the opportunity. She even asked her OB if there's any way she could help fulfill this "dream". I get VERY tired of my mom's constant "dreams" and guilt trips. I don't doubt her sincerity, just the...

5 Days Late but Negative Pregnancy test...what Could Be Going On?

My period is over 5 days late and I've taken two home pregnancy tests...both negative. I have never missed a period in my life (other then being pregnant) so this is alarming. And for my first pregnancy I had a positive test before even missing a period. In addition we are trying for baby #2 so if it is just a simple missed period I have no idea when I would ovulate this month. Or will I even do so? So confusing. Hoping someone might have had a similar experience and be able to provide some feedback!?!?!?
