mommy to 1 =)

all i can remember is something about "achieving" as a lyric.. its driving me crazy and probably wont be posted on abc page until tomorrow! please help!

Our daughter takes her pajamas & diaper off at some point every night, and pees in the bed. This happens every night. We have tried restricting her to zippered footed pajamas as they seemed the only ones that she could not get off, but she proved us wrong!

Is this just a phase? Does it mean something else?

when he is doing lab work..

i cannot think of it for the life of me!

I am taking an online anatomy class through my school. I had to order a special lab kit. My lab kit arrived today. It contained a sheep eye, sheep brain, and a fetal pig. I had a feeling these items would be coming. First, I have no idea where I am supposed to store this items until I use them in class. The more pressing issue however is that I am a vegetarian and do not support the meat industry. I'm having a hard time rationalizing how I am going to dissect the thing. Do you think my professor would accept that I follow a plant based diet and give me an alternate assignment? Does anyone have any experience with this situation? The reason I am having a hard time with it is because the class is online and my professor is located in a different city, so I will never meet her.

we are thinking of cooking our own food, instead of catering. it will be a relatively small wedding. can anyone recommend some of their favorite recipes? so far we have considered the following:

lentil and bulgar wheat salad

black bean burgers

sweet potato quinoa patties

pies instead of cake

does anyone else have a problem with friends and family, or complete strangers trying to feed your child anything in site? for instance, "can she have a chip?" umm no.. she just ate, and she is not allowed to have chips. this happens multiple times, on a daily basis. how do i deal with these people in a non-rude manner? it is even more a problem as we are vegetarian, transitioning to vegan. how do i inform them of our transition to vegan?

my 4.5 month old daughter appears to be REALLY interested in food. she will go into a trance staring at your food and will follow your spoon back and forth. we tried rice cereal and she will open her mouth for the spoon and grab at it and everything. and then comes the bite. i'm not sure she is really interested in the taste of it or isn't sure about the texture or what. but she will try every bite and make the ugliest face and manage to spit it out, but she always wants more. what is a good first food for baby that is easy to digest, etc etc?

is there a different between a nurse tech and an LPN? or are they the same thing with a different name? is a nurse tech a nursing student?

how does one become a nurse tech?

thanks

i am looking to start purchasing a few gifts for my daughter who will be 7 months old come holiday time.

we are not interested in toys that require batteries, or really any plastic toys for that matter (unless they are specifically bpa, lead, and pvc free). we love wooden toys and cloth toys. quality of the toy matters over quantity of toys. any suggestions?

how do i make a layered glycerine soap like in the image seen here: http://beansandbears.tripod.com/images/soaplayered...

how do i also add beads or whatever those are in a soap? what are those even called lol?

several years ago i had chest pains so intense that i literally could not eat anything. i went to the emergency room & they tried to put an IV in. they couldn't get one in, so they just gave up and told me that i had acid reflux.

i have suffered from some pretty intense acid reflux since then. however, about a year ago i had stomach pains so intense that i couldn't even stand. i took some gas x after several days and that seemed to relieve the pain. until now..

this time i have almost identical stomach pains, but they are accompanied with chills & body fatigue. my grandmother has a hiatal hernia and someone told me they run in families. could there be an underlying condition besides indigestion? thanks for any input.

my daughter is almost 3 months. for the past week or so i have noticed these pink to red colored dry patches on her legs. i've seen maybe one on her arm as well. she does not appeared to be bothered by them all. do you think this is just dry skin? or maybe something in my diet (i'm breastfeeding) that is bothering her? or nothing at all? just checking to see what everyone else thought.. thanks for input!

i want to get the expecting couple something that is not unique as in something that is not useful, but something that you can't find at just any old target. i want it to be useable. i do not want to give clothes. i received way way way too many clothes at my shower and don't want to do the same to them (even though i was very grateful). any ideas? oh, and i will have to be mailing this package cross country, so preferably not something massive that will cost an arm and a leg in shipping. all ideas welcome!

my daughter got her 2 month old shots on monday (it is now thursday). the first couple days she was extremely fussy. we gave her some infant drops & that seemed to help. now she cries everytime you seem to put her down. she has also started with this high pitched screaming, which she hasn't ever done before. could this be a reaction to one of the vaccines?

i am looking to make homemade baby food. we have a very large organic garden with fruits & vegetables. i'm wondering if i can puree the produce and freeze it until my daughter starts eating, in wintertime. has anyone done it in this way? if not, how did you go about it? thanks!

before 6 months or right at 6 months or so? and should you start with single flavors and if no reaction occurs, start them on multiple flavors? any advice or tips on introducing solids/foods would be great.

i am 6 weeks postpartum. i am not sure if it's the hormones still acting funny but i think about having another baby at least twice a day. it's really bad. anyone else have this problem?
