Mom of Maddox

My friend is wanting to name her baby Olivia but needs a middle name.

They don't want, Grace, Hope Joy, Faith...like that.

Also do you prefer the spelling Olivia or Alivia?

Thanks!

P.S Last name Meazell

My husband allowed our son to swim the other day with just the life jacket on and swim diaper, instead of his swim trunks. He said they were in the pool for about 2 hours. When he got him out he realized the life jacket strap that goes between his legs had rubbed on him and he has about a 2 inch in length blister. Its in the inner part of his legs...really really close to his private. I'm putting ointment on it and trying to keep it clean (not letting him go long between changes and quickly change after poop) What else can I do? What type of cream should I use? It hurts him only when cleaning it and putting medicine on. How long do these things take to get rid of? I am not familiar with blisters at all! Any input would be wonderful :)

Just pick a favorite...you can suggest something else but we are pretty set on these names :)

We already have a son named Easton Maddox

Boys:

Camdyn Knox Brashear

Carter Alexander Brashear

Girls:

McKenna Leigh Brashear

Brooklyn Addyson Brashear

Brooklyn Autumn Brashear

McKinleigh Grace Brashear

Just doing it for fun...I have my favorite picked out and so does my husband. We will make the final choice soon...

Neither my husband nor I understand taxes at all! We pay someone to do them. And regardless of how much you try to explain it to us, it just doesn't click.

I'm not positive on what he has, for instance Married and 1 or 2. He works and i'm at home with our 2 year old. Our last 2 refunds have been around 3,000 each. He makes about 45,000 gross.

I enjoy getting big refunds but at the same time hate all the taxes coming out.

What is the best option? And if he should change it, what should it be? Married and what?

Thanks so much!

My son fell walking down the stairs in July and banged his elbow up pretty good. It was a large area and scabbed over for along time. In August at sometime he was playing and I noticed that part of the remaining scab that was there was barely hanging on, so I yanked it off real quick. It only had a few drops of blood and never bled again after I put pressure on it for about 30 seconds. Since then he has had a large area (would say about the size of a half dollar) on his arm by his elbow pinkish. Its not a red color but its not a light pink more like in the middle. I figured over time it would go away. But its now almost October and this was back in August and his skin has not gone back to original color. My son and I are both faired skin also. Is it to late to put something on it? If I need to what do you recommend? Also do you think it will go back to his regular skin color over time?

Thanks

Here lately I have been answering questions and seeing more and more my answer being thumb down.

It could be something simple as "what size shoe does your child wear" or "how many teeth does your child have"

Questions that wouldn't need a thumbs down.

I really think there are people that sit and on purpose thumb down answers..What do you think?

My son just got his well visit for 18 months, however he is 19 months (20 in Oct 2nd) he kept getting sick whenever we would have the apt set.

He weighs 29.2 and is 35 inches tall :)

How does your children compare?

I don't have another test but I saw somewhere on here to save your pee and then test. Is that true that I can do that?

Kinda concerned that my early test didn't show positive but if my af doesn't come again tomorrow then I have a much better chance of being prego right?

Never had to think this much with our first...I missed my period and took a test. Never had the 2ww because we weren't actually trying, just woke up one day and felt weird and went with my gut.

So this time i've waited and tested and waited and tested and its completely taken over my thoughts and such.

Any input is great!

And yes the middle name has to be a M...its a tradition in our family.

If you don't like the combo tell me a different 1st name or different middle name.

My husband's family all the grandkids have a middle name starting with M as well as my husband and his two siblings. I wanted to continue the tradition.

Husband: Steven Michael

Brother in Law: John Matthew (he goes by Matt)

Sister in Law: Kayla Marie

Our son: Easton Maddox (goes by Maddox)

Brother in law son: Liam Matthew

Because we didn't name our first son after my husband we aren't wanting to do it if we have a boy this time.

As you can see I like the uncommon names but i'm open for any and all suggestions.

Thanks!!

The past few days my son's routine has been different, he's 19 months old. Yesterday he woke up early and took an early nap was happy all afternoon to the evening and did his normal bedtime routine and woke up like he normally does today.

Today I called my sister to come stay with me today and help me. We are ttc and I haven't been feeling well, real tired and horrible headaches. This morning I told her I was going to take a nap. I set my alarm and I never heard it go off. I got woken up to her waking me up asking me if she needed to feed him. I had only planned on taking an hour nap and I woke up at 2:30 pm! He is normally had lunch and is down for a nap at 2. Needless to say he was starving and I couldn't feed him fast enough. (he doesn't know how to say he's hungry I just always feed him at the same times of the day or about) Then tried to get him to take a nap and he wouldn't. So tonight he was playing and my husband and I were watching tv and out of the blew he came to me and wanted me to hold him. I did for a little bit and figured since it was 9 a clock and he hasn't napped i'm going to put him to bed.

Normally we do bath before bed but even to change his diaper and put on pj's he was not happy, he cried when I put him to bed (which never happens) and then hasn't really been settle since he's been to bed. Moving alot, ever so often cries out or wimpers.

All of this is out of the norm. Am I over thinking it or is it because he's not been on his routines? Any advise on what I can do?

Thanks

The name Bentley seems to be coming around. What is your view points on the name? Do you personally know anyone named Bentley? Do you think its going to be as popular as the Aiden's, Hayden's etc.

Just to add i'm not naming my child this or even pregnant at that matter.

My son doesn't like popsicles or ice cream...and thats what the doctor said to give him in the 1st 24 hrs or so. He's doing much better but he doesn't seem intrested in eating much, understandably but I still would like him to eat.

So far today he's had a cup of his milk and turkey, cheese and a cracker.

Btw our pedi allows him to have milk even with a fever and it has NEVER caused him to throw up.

Any ideas of what I can feed him?

Thanks!

My son won't wear anything covering his head or face....so i'm stumped on what he can be this year.

I'm open to suggestions on something to buy or something simple that I could do myself.

Thanks!

Just curious how many words your toddler knows? My son is 19 months. Does anyone know the average for that age?

Thanks!

I am open to suggestions of any kind, unique and traditional names. I just can't use Matthew or Michael because they are already in the family!

Thanks :)
