Former Co Worker Is Naming Baby A Terrible Name!?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:40:06 +0000

I have a former co worker who is having a little girl in two months. I still visit with the girls i used to work with, so I am invited to her baby shower and am making the cake.
We are all bothered by her choice of name for the baby :Ursula Sephia !!
She is using the name Ursula because it is a family name and Sephia because she thinks its cute. But the girl will be called Ursula. I think of the fat ugly sea witch when I hear that name!
Is there any convincing of her?

My Husband Gave Me A List Of Things To Do To Prepare My Body For Pregnancy But I Don’t Want To Do Them?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:48:57 +0000

my husband and i decided we would like to start trying soon. i would love to have a baby this year. i’m 22 yrs old and i read the healthiest babies are born to mothers 17-22. so i dont want to leave it too late. especially as my husband is a bit older. anyway he’s a nutritonist and he gave me a list of things to do, he wants me to do this for a whole six months even before we start trying….. lol
1. I can’t eat any junk food, which means no chocolate :’( Also fast food, red meat, table sugar, salt, coffee and alcohol are all off limits.
2. I’m only allowed to eat organic food and I have to eat 8+ servings of fruits & veges everyday and 3+ servings of fish every week….. (i *hate* fish)
3. I have to take folic acid , multi vitamin, fish oil supplements
4. I have to exercise 6 days a week. My husband also wants me to gain 10 lbs because I’m only 100, but with the diet & exercise…. how is that possible??
5. I have to “cut off” my friend who’s husband is a smoker. I’m literally not allowed to see in person until the baby is born.
6. I have to throw away all my makeup and skincare products (because of the “toxic chemicals”). I’m only supposed to use toothpaste, soap, shampoo, and a few other essentials.
7. we have to hire a cleaner to clean the house because I can’t touch cleaning products (chemicals again).
8. and a weird one: I’m not allowed to go to the gas station to fill up petrol in my car.. lol
ive just summarized it , the actual thing is pages!
Do you think this is a bit over the top? By the way my husband already has two grown perfectly healthy sons and I bet his ex wife never had to go through any of this…. :’(

Baby Vicks, Has Anyone Heard Of This?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 21:41:12 +0000

I mentioned to my pediatrician that I was using Baby Vicks on my infant to help with his cough and congestion and she told me that it is actually bad for him and could cause pneumonia. Has anyone else ever heard this? The package says it is for children 3 months old and up but my doctor said never to use it on children under two. I know she is a very cautious pediatrician, which we usually like, but this seems a bit overboard. I’ve discarded it anyways just to be on the safe side.

A Question For You Journalists?

if you were filming a live report and saw an infant sitting on a street about to get run over by a speeding car would you stop what you were doing to save it?

Baby, Toddler, And Children Portraits?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 18:39:52 +0000

how much do you spend on portraits? where do you have them done? and for what occasions?
i pay a lot of money for my daughters pictures, i usually have them done at the mall. but after this last photography session i dont think we’ll be going back there. i decided to buy a professional studio backdrop and lighting kit for my brother, who is in college and has studied photography for 3 years, i would have had him do her portraits earlier but he never had the money to open a studio. he has a really expensive camera already. so i told him to open a portable portrait studio to make some extra money and so i could have her pics taken whenever i need to.
what would you consider a reasonable price for an in home professional photography session? and what would make you want to use a photographer instead of the 1 hour photo at the mall?

How Can I Become A Selfish Cold Person?

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:39:53 +0000

I care too much about others. My sister just recently turned 18 and is about 5 months pregnant. I have said nothing to her about it. I live at college. I am so angry and could punch someone. I know having a baby isn’t the end of the world, but she has never had a job, never had any responsibility. I don’t think I want to go back home I hate seeing people make idiotic mistakes.
