Mommy 2 Ameera born 7/21

My one month old is getting two bottom teeth in. How do you soothe sore gums for a one month old? Can I use the same stuff you would with an older baby? I have never been around a baby so young that is cutting teeth. They are already starting to pop through the gums. She started getting them in at 2 weeks.

Ok... I am almost at the end of the pregnancy, and have really gotten fed up with my mother. I have tried to ignore you comments, but my hormones are going all over, and I have not been sleeping, so I can't deal with her remarks. First off, my husband is Muslim (and so am I now, but that is something she does not need to know. A whole new can of worms would go flying), and we gave our first child a Muslim first name, and a more so called "normal" (her terms, not mine) middle name. We had a bunch of names picked out for this daughter, but we thought we would just keep it simple like our first. We both (my hubby and I) loved the name Ameera for the first name, and Bella for the middle name. My mother has done nothing but complain about how whenever she tells people what we are naming our child, they go "huh?" I also get comments from her like... "I read this article about how kids with weird names grow up with emotional problems because they get picked on." She tells me I need to give her a more American name, and she is going to call her Amy. Now, she calls up, and tells me people are asking why I am giving my children "black" names (how offensive can you get?). WTF! They are MUSLIM names and there are a lot of muslims that are black in America. Does that make the names any less beautiful? I think not. I almost told her to stop being so racist, but I bit my tongue as usual. Oh... and yes, she is obsessed with the color of my children's skin. My daughter tans real easy, just like her father, and I have to hear how she is starting to look black (rolling my eyes). What the heck do you say to something like that? I pretty much hung up on her, but that is really not the best solution. My mother also is the kind of person that thinks because she gives me money for their room, that she dictates the color, and style of it too. We no longer let her do that. How do I put her in her place without being a psycho 8itch about it?

Sorry for the rant...

i also have been feeling sharp pains in my pelvc/cervical area. They give me goose bumps they hurt so bad. Anyone else feel these? What are they?

I hate my doctor... she does not really communicate with me. I have had two appointments so far and during the second one, I was kept in the room waiting for 45 minutes only to have her come in and ask if I was feeling any pain, and then listening to the babies heart beat. She said she did not need to measure me (which I thought was always expected at each visit). Am I being too hard on her? She also didn't tell me any of the results of my pap (so I am assuming everything is fine). I am already 20 weeks according to ultrasound, or 18 weeks according to doctor no personality.
