I am married to a wonderful husband, and have one son, Carter, who is almost 2, and another son due next week. I have worked with children all my life. I have been a nanny, preschool teacher, day care worker, and not to mention, my parents were foster parents the whole time I was growing up. I guess you can say I learned from the best when it comes to children. :) I am first and foremost a Christian, and will answer any questions you may have about God and the Bible.... just email me and ask! :) I have been through 4 miscarriages, as well and I know how difficult it can be.

  • What word denotes the end-stopped line in this quotation of A Midsummer Night's Dream?

    For my homework, I am supposed to mark the last word and ending punctuation for every end-stopped line of verse. From Act 3, Scene 1 of A Midsummer Night's Dream, Titania says in line 178:

    "Come, wait upon him. Lead him to my bower."

    Is the end-stopped line of that verse both the words 'him' and 'bower', or just 'bower'?

  • What is this rash?

    My daughter developed this rash on Sunday on her inner thighs. It has spread to her stomach and up the sides of her torso, but is more sporadic. No change in diets or soaps, and 2 nurse practitioners and one pharmacist cannot agree on what this is.

  • Cat's breasts are swollen and full of milk?

    Two months ago, someone dropped a cat on my doorstep. She was VERY skinny and looked poorly. I decided to take her in since I love cats anyway. She is an outside cat, due to my sons cat allergies, or I would keep her indoors. 3 weeks after I got her, I noticed she was pregnant, which may be why the previous owner got rid of her. She is a wonderful nurturing cat, so I thought she would do well with her kittens. I tried to set up places for her to have them (safe ones), but she did not have them up at my house. The kittens were born two weeks ago, but I could never find them, and she never brought them home until today. She brought 2 up to my house today in the spot I had fixed for her, but the kittens had been dead for at least 2 days. Now, since the kittens are dead, she is full of milk. Her breasts are not hard or swollen, just very full of milk. Is there anything I can do for her to help keep her from getting mastitis? Of course I will take her to the Vet if problems arise... and I plan on getting her spayed. I actually wanted the kittens and planned on taking care of them. I have just quickly become attached to her, and do not want her to get sick. Thanks

  • Phineas and Ferb material or fabric?

    My son is wanting a Phineas and Ferb themed room. I have looked everywhere for queen size quilts and fabric, but I have not had any luck. I have also looked at Perry the Platypus stuff, and cannot find anything. Disney carries the TWIN size comforter set, but I need a QUEEN.... I decided I could make him a quilt but I cannot find any fabric to do so. Anyone know where I can find some online?

  • Mastitis without breastfeeding?

    I had my son 4 weeks ago today, and have been drying up my milk ever since. I had problems breastfeeding with my first son because I could not get rid of mastitis, so I had to stop breastfeeding. I decided not to breastfeed this time around, and have been using cabbage leaves to dry my milk up. My right breast started painfully hurting today, and it is hot to the touch and hurts very bad to even move it. I started getting the chills a few hours ago, and went ahead and took motrin... My temp went from 97.8 to 99.7, but has not gone up higher since the motrin. How did I get mastitis without breastfeeding? I have no cracks or cuts in my nipple. I was told to keep breastfeeding my son when I had it last time or to pump to help heal the infection. What should I do now since I am not breastfeeding? Any advice or experience from anyone?

  • Can I use an anti-itch cream on a c-section incision?

    I had my second c-section 2 weeks ago this coming Friday.... Instead of the glue, my new doctor used dissolving stitches, and now I am itching there like crazy as my scar heals. When I try to scratch, it hurts... Is there anything that I can use on it to help with the itching? I have my two week appointment this week and am going to ask, but just wanted some relief for a few days until then... Thanks!

  • Underarm rash.... might be related to pregnancy rash?

    OK, I had a pregnancy rash with my son that came up about 4 weeks before delivery. It was red bumps that burned and itched like bug bites. They only appeared under my arms and down my sides. After about a week of getting this rash, my underarms broke out into this burning rash that like peeled the skin off, it seems. I put everything I could on it. It kind of felt like heat rash, but my doctor said it was a rash during pregnancy, and to keep trying things to help it. Well, I now have it with this pregnancy as well. Only under one arm, though. The arm that has the rash, has the pregnancy rash real bad all down that side. My other side is only slightly broke out for now. I have NO IDEA what this is? Is it related to my pregnancy rash? It is raised red bumps that BURN, not itch... and it is turning white in the middle? Like my skin is burning off? Anyone have similar experiences or know of any relief? I have not switched deo's, shampoos, detergents, or anything

  • Where can I find baby bedding and Queen size bedding that match?

    Ok, I have a small apartment and am expecting another baby in August. I plan on having a queen size bed in the room with the baby bed for my parents when they come to visit. I was trying to look for some baby bedding that matched queen size bedding. Anyone know where I can find something like that? Does not have to be themed bedding. Oh, and I am having a boy.

  • Only gestational sac on ultrasound???

    According to my LMP, I should be 6wks and 5days, and know I ovulated on the 26-28th of November... So, I went in for an u/s because of 4 prior miscarriages, and only saw a gestational sac that measured 5 1/2weeks. It was 11cm, i think and the tech said it looked good a round but I was just a bit early? I did not think I could be this early since I know when I ovulated and got a positive hpt on 11dpo, or what I thought was 11dpo... So, anyone have any thoughts? I go back in a week and hopefully will see a hb....

  • HCG levels seem low?

    I have had several miscarriages, and it seems like every time they do a Beta, they tell me everything looks good. I found out last week that I am preggers again, at 3 weeks and 5 days, I had a blood test, and my hcg was 18 and progesterone was 26, which is the best it has ever been in a pregnancy. I went in 4 weeks and 1 day to have another and it did go up to 70. I am on vaginal progesterone, but am concerned about the numbers, and how low they are looking. I have an ultrasound in two weeks that I am nervous about. Anyone have really low levels and a healthy baby nine months later?

  • How did you tell your hubbies you were pregnant?

    My hubby and I are TTC, and I have not found out yet if I am pregnant with our second yet. I have been thinking about ways to tell him, instead of just handing the stick to him like I did the first time. Anyone have any great ideas, or things you did to tell your hubbies? Let me know your stories!

  • Ovulation problems.... anyone else confused? hehe?

    Ok, my husband and I are TTC, and I have always been good at tracking my ovulation time and cervical mucus. I was technically supposed to ovulate on the 25th(period was on the 11th), but I had major left side pains on the 26th for several hours. I usually have a little cramp or two, but this was more sharp and consistent. Since I am trying to get pregnant with a girl, my husband and I had sex two days before the pain started, since I knew I would be ovulating then. Well, I was wondering how long does it usually take for all of you to get your egg white mucus? Mine usually shows up right before I ovulate, but it did not come till about 2 days after my pain started. I have had it yesterday and today. So, now I am confused. I thought I had for sure ovulated, but when I saw the stretchy egg white cervical mucus, I 2nd guessed it. Any of you do this, or have had the same experiences? I just figured that I would have the mucus already by the time I started hurting this month.

  • How did YOU feel about this when you were pregnant?

    Ok, My husband and I have been ttc for two months now. I ovulate sometime this week, and yet again, we have been trying... My sister-in-law called today and said she is pregnant. I do not know if I want to get pregnant now(might be too late for that, haha). I don't want her to think I am stealing her spot light so to speak. This is her first, and she is the only girl, so this pregnancy will be special for a lot of people. I hate to break our plans, but if I am planning on getting pg, we would be due within weeks of each other, possibly. I was pg for the first time at the same time as my sister, so I never knew how it felt to be the center of the pg lime light so to speak. How would any of you feel if someone came swooping in and stole the spotlight from you? Would you be mad, or irratated? I am curious to know your thoughts. :) I am nervous about getting pregnant and getting her upset... Anyone else had this problem or would feel upset in this situation?

  • Bleeding a week before period is due....?

    Ok, for the past week I have thought that I was pregnant(we are trying to have a baby). I ovulated on the 2nd of November and my period ALWAYS comes 14 days past that date. I have a regular cycle and don't have any problems. I took a test yesterday, but it was negative. Then, last night, I started bleeding. It was light red and I thought I had just started my period. It is almost as heavy as a period. I was for sure I was pregnant. I have had 4 miscarriages and 1 successful pregnancy. Could it be an early miscarriage? I thought it would be implantation bleeding, but I am still bleeding? Anyone know or has this happened to anyone else? I never start my period 6 days early. I am under no stress and not sick. Any thoughts?
