I know I already posted something about a baby name for a boy, but we've changed our minds on what we like and STILL can't decide!! AGH!!

We've come to maybe a compromise with the name:

Andrew Langdon Nelson.

Middle name is the father's middle name as well as the grandfather's middle name. We'd like a traditional FIRST name. It has to go with Langdon as a middle name. Father's name is Matthew. We don't want to do the Jr. thing....

All help is GREATLY appreciated!

TIA!!!

I've heard a lot of things from first time mothers saying that they rushed their baby to the hospital many times after giving birth because they weren't aware of things that were actually normal.

Also with themselves, they said that there were many things that the doctors didn't tell them to expect after giving birth.

What are some things that you weren't expecting to happen that were completely normal. I'm 10w4d and kind of freaking out about what will happen after I give birth.

Stories are definitely welcome

TIA!!!

We don't know what we're having, but we've decided on a couple of names. What do you think?

Boy:

Tyler Langdon Nelson

Girl:

Lillian Grace Nelson

What do you think? The middle name for the boy has to be Langdon. Do you have any other ideas?

I am 7 weeks along and have only told my best friend and my fiance. It's killing us to wait! But we've decided to tell my parents and family on Father's Day that we're expecting. I found out the day before Mother's Day that I was pregnant.

I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas or creative ways to tell people that you're expecting. They can be funny, heartfelt, anything! Just looking for ideas!

Thanks in ADVANCE!

This is pretty complicated. I work with a woman at both my part time and full time job. Well, said woman was talking VERY badly about people...(word that comes to mind is slander) at the part time job, so I went to my bosses there and informed them of this, also providing proof of what she had said.

In turn, they let her know that I "told on her" and now she's been trying to get me fired from both places, telling lies and such that she thinks will get me into trouble enough to get me fired. I want to file a formal complaint with the head of the organization that I work for part time, but I don't even know how to go about it without getting a lawyer involved.

Now she is completely out of control. The woman is in her late forties, and I am 21. You'd expect it to be the other way around. She's brought not only me, but my family into this as well. All I wanted was for her to be spoken to about speaking so harshly about other people. Apparently she's " untouchable".

I don't normally have nightmares, and when I do, I can usually change the direction of what's happening to something in my favor.

But for the past week, I've had really bad nightmares consecutively. I always wake up at 4:13am too. It's so strange. Now, don't get me wrong, I've had nightmares before, but never for more than two nights in a row.

The nightmares always have to do with someone in all black coming to kill me/hurt me. The scenes change, as well as the surroundings, but it's always the same man in black. A few times I was able to see his face, but it was blurry. Right when he catches me, I scream but no sound comes out and I jolt awake. It's so weird. Anyone have any idea of what these nightmares could be from?

I don't eat before I go to bed, and usually I watch some comedy sitcoms before bed......

I've never wanted children, and I could remember saying that from when I was youngerWhen I would tell people about how I never wanted children, they just said " Yeah but you're still young, and most people change their minds when they see what motherhood can be." I was 18 then, and I am 21 now.

My boyfriend and I have been together for about eight months, and while we've talked about having children, what their names will be, things like that, we were never really serious about it until we had a scare a couple of months ago. I was actually disappointed when the test showed negative, and relieved at the same time. I know he's not ready for a baby, and I don't claim that I'm completely ready either, but, I feel like something is missing. I love my boyfriend, don't get me wrong, but I want something more. We have three dogs and a ferret, and it seems like every time I get a new animal to fill the void, it's just not enough. I can't stop thinking about having a baby. Too Soon?

I recently had a Pure Romance Party, and I ABSOLUTELY LOVED it. It was so much fun, and the products that I DO have are simply amazing. The consultant at my party was wonderful, and looked as though she was having SO much fun. I work full time at an insurance agency and part time as a bartender. I don't NEED to work as a bartender, but it's nice to have the extra money when things come up. I don't really care for the bartending as much as I thought I would, and after having this party, I finally think I know what I'd like to do on the side to make some extra money and not only that, HAVE FUN!!!

I did have a few questions though. I know you have to buy a kit to start selling, but after you buy the kit where do you go from there? Does someone contact you about selling? I almost bought a kit today, but didn't know how I would book my first party after I actually bought the kit. Could someone that actually sells PR tell me the steps it took to actually start selling in full detail? Thanks

The reason I ask is that, my mom and I were chatting about how her moods were almost as completely different as night and day when she was pregnant with my sister, and then with myself. She said that she was sort of shy and not very outgoing when she had my sister. That she was sort of a homebody. But she said with me, she was out doing anything and everything that she could. And she wondered if that caused my sister and I to have the personalities we do. I am very outgoing ( and was as a child as well even moreso)and love meeting new people, while my sister keeps to herself more and doesn't really enjoy meeting new people. She's not much of a people person for lack of a better term. She's always been that way though.

I was wondering if your overall mood during the pregnancy will affect the demeanor of your child in their early years?

I had a few pictures done over the weekend and was hoping to find a few that I could give to my mom, framed, for Mother's day. I need your opinion on them just to make sure I'm making the right decision. Thank you SO much!

I really like these names for either a little girl or a little boy, but we're not sure yet. The list goes from the names I like the best to the names that I still like, but aren't my first choices.

The father will not back off of the first name Aida for a little girl. At first I didn't like it but now its grown on me after talking about it.

Girl

Aida Grace

Aida Leighanne

Aida Leigh

So because he decided to be a butt about the first name for the girl, I decided to be a butt about the first name for a little boy.

Boy

Connor Louis

Connor Lee

Connor Wyatt

If you have any suggestions for a middle name for any of these two please feel free to mention it! Thanks for your help!!

The people that live across the street from us are careless when it comes to their two Pit bulls. I have no problem with pit bulls and I believe that they are some of the sweetest dogs. However these dogs weren't raised correctly, and are very aggressive. They once attacked a dog viciously. I won't go into details, but it was so bad that my brother in law had to go over and shoot the dog that was being attacked to end the suffering. I know that sounds inhumane, but really it was better for the dog.

The police have told these people numerous times to get rid of the dogs after that incident, and still they don't. They leave their gate open constantly, and the dogs have been roaming the neighborhood as they please. I was leaving for work this morning and walked outside to find the white pit bull in front of my car door in a defensive stance growling at me. I was an hour late to work because I had to wait for the cops to get there.

Is there anyway to get these pictures taken off of their profile? I didn't authorize them to use these pictures, and I have made a complaint to TOM, but still nothing. They're on this profile just the same as they were when I wrote to TOM. Is there any other way to get these pictures off of this person's myspace?

Lots of ferret questions today.

I was wondering if ferrets can have fruits? I heard that they can't digest them, and yet, I've seen people give their ferrets bananas, apples, and grapes.

I read that ferrets are carnivores, so I'm also wondering if they can have any kind of meat ( human food) cooked or raw?

Don't worry I'm sticking to her ferret food, but if she doesn't start eating it soon, I may have to switch her food. I want to try things that she likes. I bought her some raisin flavored ferret treats and she won't touch them...and she hasn't touched her food that I can tell either. I don't believe she's sick maybe that she just doesn't like the food that I bought her.

I just bought a ferret last night. I noticed at the pet store, she and her cage mates weren't using the litter box to go to the bathroom, but rather, lay in it and sleep.

I purchased the ferret litter that they were using in the pet store ( the only litter might I add, what was extremely expensive and I know I could have bought a different kind somewhere else for WAY cheaper) hoping that she would use it. I know I have to litter train her because she went on one of the shelves in her cage, rather than in the box.

Is it okay to use shredded newspaper as a litter if this litter fails to do the job? Or what are some inexpensive ferret litters? I've heard you can use a non clumping, dust free cat litter, but I'm so afraid to use it because she's so young. Any names for the products would help greatly! And an estimated price of these items would also be sufficient.

I went to a new pet store the other day to purchase a hamster for my neice. Being that most of the pet stores in my neighborhood ( without having to drive 30 mins to go to a petco or petsmart) are strictly fish/reptile/dog stores, I'd never seen a chinchilla except for on tv.

I fell in love when I saw one but was majorly put off by the price as well as the fact that I knew nothing of how to take care of one.

I know that they require dust baths and specific foods.

What I was wanting to know: Are these an easy animal to take care of?

I have three dogs that roam the house and I have an extra bedroom that isn't used. I heard they need to be able to run around. I think I could actually adopt one, but I don't want to get myself into something I can't handle. I would love to have one.

Does anyone know of anywhere in the St. Louis Missouri area that sells them for less than 150.00???

I have a tattoo remembering 3 of my relatives that passed away too soon. It's a cross with a rose at the bottom of it with a butterfly landing on the cross. My uncle just passed away in January. He had cancer and scorosis of the liver, but while it was pretty bad, that's not the reason he died. He accidentally set himself on fire. I want to get a tat added to the one I have already but I don't want to get a beer can or a tab from the can or anything. I want to do something classy and still have it be meaningful. Anyone have any ideas?
