I am waiting for my W-2 to come in the mail, but I moved and they have an old address. I was told that government mail doesn't forward, so I'm not sure what to do. I tried calling the ADP hot line and leaving messages everyday; still no response.

My question is, if I didn't get paid until Jan 2011, do I even get a w-2? Do I have to report it on my taxes if I did? I made less then $300.

Thanks for any help. :)

My work is having a competition for the team who can get the most referrals. We get a bonus if we come up with the most creative name. The competition has a school theme...any suggestions?

I am looking for a good Father's Day present for my hubby, and I know that he has been talking about an expansion pack for WOW coming out soon. The thing is, I know NOTHING about WOW and I want to make sure that I get the right one. I read something online about WOW: Cataclysm..would that be the one? I saw that it didn't have a release date.

I'm not sure also if I bought this, does it work for everyone playing the game? Or do they need to have anything in order for it to work, like being a certain level or something?

Thanks!!

My work is having a contest for based on fishing, and we need a team name that has something to do with fish or fishing. Any thoughts?

I seem to have a painful contraction after every time that I urinate. Has anyone else experienced this?

I am 39 1/2 weeks and am at 4cm. My doctor stripped my membranes yesterday, but I haven't had any "real" contractions. I have been having consistent Braxton Hicks contractions, once an hour. I have also been having cramps all day long.

Any thoughts? Could the cramps be from the exam? Could those contractions be real, just not strong enough yet for me to feel a lot of pain?

I have been feeling my baby move a TON these last couple weeks, but almost all the movement has been sharp jabs in my lower abdomen, under my belly button or very large sweeping movements (which is probably his whole body shifting around).

I was wondering if this type of movement was similar to how a breech baby's movements would feel? I also feel a ton of pressure on my left hip bone, from the inside. Just on that bone though.

Thoughts?

I was also thinking maybe instead of the stuffing of having scalloped potatoes, but that might be too many potatoes. :)

There are only 2 of us, so I can't cook an entire turkey or anything like that...any suggestions?

I don't have any stretch marks (cross my fingers) on my abdomen, but the last couple of days my skin has been burning..almost like someone is giving me an indian burn right around my belly button and to the sides.

Is this an indicator of stretch marks to come? I am trying to put lotion on my skin at least 3 times a day, thinking that it might ease the pain.

Any suggestions? Has this happened to you?

I am experiencing severe pelvic pain, right around my hip joints and pelvic area, radiating down my left leg. It gets worse when I am walking, and is almost unbearable when I am climbing stairs and shifting my position in bed at night. I thought that it was ligament pain, from the growing baby, but this is much worse and just around my hips...does anyone have some thoughts?

I am debating between these two options. I would really like to be able to walk around during labor, but I'm not sure about how I will make it through if the walking epidural only covers from the top of the uterus to the top of the cervix. I would like to be totally numb, but I'm not sure about not being able to walk.

Thoughts?

Is this okay to eat? What about smoked fish?

Last night in my childbirth class, the teacher said that we might be experiencing Braxton Hicks contractions soon (I am 32 weeks). She said that you might miss them if you weren't paying attention (at work, etc), but you should watch out for them and time how many an hour.

Although, when I spoke with my doctor a couple of weeks ago, she said that you would know for sure if you experienced one of them.

Which is it?

Sometimes I feel like my uterus gets firm, but I can't tell if it is just the baby moving around and where he is feels firm...

Would I ever miss a Braxton Hicks if I have never had one before?

Opinions?

I am 29 weeks along and having VERY strong pain on the right side of my rib cage, right underneath my where my bra meets my body. I called the midwife, she said that it was just the baby pushing on my ribs; suggested that I take some tylenol and lay down for a bit on the left side. I did that and the pain still didn't even budge. I couldn't sleep on that side and now I have taken 2 more tabs of Tylenol and the pain is still around.

Any suggestions on what to do or what is causing it?

I am also having what feels like menstrual cramps but could be gas...how can you tell the difference? I am not having the urge to pass gas...like there is none in there..

Help? First baby, a little bit of a worry wort. Thanks!

I was really craving rotisserie chicken today, the whole chicken pre cooked from the deli...it was hot when I bought it, but I didn't get to eat it right away. I was thinking about eating it for dinner...would that be okay? I was just thinking about eating it cold on a sandwich, do you think I should just peel off the chicken and re heat it just in case? Or does that bacteria only grow on deli meat?

In the movie What Dreams May Come with Robin Williams, in his daughter's room, she is playing with a paper castle with paper figurines. This becomes the basis for her world in the afterlife...would have know or have any suggestions on how I can search for a castle like that? What keywords would I put it? I'm not even sure about what style of art that would be considered...

I am in my fourth month of pregnancy and started spotting 2 days ago. It was very little, brownish/reddish and the doctor told me that I had nothing to worry about. They did an internal exam, where the doctor felt my cervix to check that it was closed. They ran blood and urine; and found nothing. Last night, at around 2, I went to the bathroom and I had a fair amount (the whole tissue) of bright red blood on the toilet paper and a fair amount of it in the bowl, staining all the water.

I had an internal exam before and didn't bleed at all.

What I'm wondering is this:

Should I go into the doctor for the second time in two days? Does this sound like it could be nothing to worry about?

I'm not having any cramping and just very little bleeding today.

I am about 12 weeks pregnant and have been experiencing heartburn in the afternoon. However, all during the day I have this very full feeling, almost like anything I eat, no matter how small the portion, it feels like I am so full I can feel the food in my throat. Almost like the food is stuck. The other problem is I can barely get enough food down without feeling full, so I can't drink any liquids, because it bloats my stomach so much I feel like I am going to puke.

Is this heartburn? I don't feel any burning, just fullness and phlegm at the back of my throat.

I've never had any heartburn before, so I'm not sure if this is it..

I bought tickets to a Britney Spears concert before I found out I was pregnant. I will be sitting on the lower level, about half way up. I asked my doctor, but she said that she has never heard about anything saying that you can't attend, but I thought that the bass or the vibrations were something you should avoid. I will be just about 4 months pregnant when the concert is here.

Has anyone heard anything saying that you really shouldn't do this?
