Mrs. Arnold

Ok so my father-in-law just got diagnoses with multiple myeloma (blood and bone cancer) hes currently undergoing chemo, and if all goes well there is talk of a bone marrow transplant well, just so happens both me and my sister-in-law are both pregnant, so now there is talk of maybe doing cord blood banking. I am all for it (as I'm sure she will be too)

I was just wonering what the chances would be for a grandchilds blood to match a grandparents?

Also I was wondering if they did end up being able to use it, do they use ALL of it, or would there be more left over if someone else ever needed it?

hey ladies I'm about 5 1/2 weeks pregnant and the past few days I have felt relly weak and shakey, I'm eating, but probably not what I should be, any suggestions on food that would help with this

this is my 3rd and dont recall having this with the other two

me and hubby are ttc #3 went to take a test and i had started my period :( its only our 1st mo trying, and i knew i might have missed my ovulation, but still a little bumbed

Hey ladies....I'm still b/f my son so my periods havent been really regular, anyways I just was wonder how soon after sex can you get a positive I know you usually wait till your missed period but mine have been about 2 months apart, so I dont know when to test.

So me and hubby are planning on conceiveing our third baby soon, but we plan on keeping it a secret at first (not sure how long being my 3rd I might start showing pretty quick) but I dont want to lie to people either, so just wondering if anyone has kept it a secret, what do you say when people ask when you're gonna have another?

Ok, so I have used turbo tax for like the past 4 yrs...and I like it, but they dont offer free state filing....they charge 36.95which I think is alot....

so i wanted to know if there is a different site that offers free state filing or at least cheaper

we were given a mini van (2002 Dodge Grand Caravan) it had been a delivery van and they had taken the bench seats out, well somehow the back row of seating got lost, so I'm needing to find a back row of seating I'm thinking a junk yard/craigslist or something.....I was jsut wondering if most mini vans use the same kind of back rows, or if I need to find that EXACT mini vans seating?

We currently have a gas water heater...it's pretty old and the water heater is the only thing we use gas for so I would like to just cut off the gas all together and get an electric water heater....so can I just plug in a water heater to a regular outlet? or would there have to be some special wiring?

Hey everybody, I am at my wits end!!!

my daughter is 22 months we transitioned her into a toddler bed about a month ago...she has been doing pretty good.

when she was in her crib she would self-soothe very well and I rarely had any trouble getting her to sleep.

Once we put her in the toddler bed we had to start rocking her and sining to her to get her to settle down.....It wasnt ideal (I have a 6 month old so it takes alot of juggling when I have to rock her to sleep when he goes to sleep an hour after her) but it worked

the past few nights have been miserable....she wont settle down even when I rock her and once I do get her to settle down as soon as I lay her down she starts screaming....I let her cry for a little while then go back in over and over and over....the past few night it has taken me 2 hours to get her to sleep (it normally takes about 10 minutes)

Last night she woke up in the middle of the night around 2 am screaming we couldnt get her back to sleep so we finally pulled out the play pen and put her in it...she fell asleep in about 5 minutes. tonight I couldnt get her to sleep for anything finally I put her in the playpen and sure enough she was out in less then 10 minutes.

I dont know what to do! I dont want to make it a habit of her sleeping in her playpen because she'll be able to clmib out soon (which is why we put her in the toddler bed to begin with) but if I put her in her bed she just screams and bangs get out of bed and bangs on the door and sobs until we come back in.

And like I said I have a 6 month old, so if he's awake I have to be constantly running between the 2 of them trying to get her to sleep and keep him from getting all upset becuase he's all by himself...its so frustrating

anyways any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Hey guys, I'm looking for suggestions on some good CHEAP wine lol like under $10 a bottle....My husband and I havent tried a whole lot of wine and it's a little overwhleming walking down the isle trying to pick one, when you know absolutely nothing about them lol.....SO

1st - we typically like the sweeter wines (like lambrusco) so any suggestions for a good sweet wine would be great.

2nd - I want to try other types of wine too soooo...what are some of your favorites.

3rd - if you have any other advice on picking a wine that'd be cool!

lol one time we picked a bottle of red wine "smoking Loon" it was terrible...so dry I felt like I had just drank sand....then we read the discription and we realized why it was so cheap lol...anyways we have no clue what we're doing :)

ok I need some help! This is kinda long sorry....basically theres 2 things I need help with

I have 2 small dogs that I have had for about 3 yrs...they are pretty well behaved...I didnt train them though. One male (speedy) one female (sissy) They are indoor dogs. We recently put up a fence so they are outside for a good portion of the day now...speedy doesnt like being outside so he is inside mostly...sissy loves being outside but she is CONSTANTLY barking at everything...trains (we live by the tracks so there are alot of trains,but we've lived here for a year now and she's never barked at them before), people, idk leaves? lol I dont know what to do to keep her from barking so much.

So that's the first thing, how do I train her to not bark at every little thing, I know dogs bark and I cant expect her to never bark, but this is pretty excessive.

Next, I recently got a new puppy. She is an outside dog she is about 11 weeks now....she gets along fine with the other 2 dogs, she rarely barks, but when sissy comes outside with her she is influenced to start barking right along with her...so thats annoying and needs to stop.

with the puppy (misty) I basically need to know where i should start as far as basic obedience...i should have started sooner, but i didnt :(....I have a 2 year old and misty is always so excited to see her and she jumps all over and knocks her down so some things I would like to know how to train are....

1. not to bark

2. not to jump up on you

3. stop when I tell her "no"

4. not to bite (she doesnt bite when I put my hands in her mouth or anyhting, but she nips at your heels)

I know theres a ton of websites with this stuff, but I'm kinda overwhelemed looking for a good one, so I would like to know what worked for you, and any websites or articles that you have found helpful

Ok mommies....I just want to know what is "normal" after having babies...how often do you have sex????

Before my 1st we had sex probably every other night...then after my first like twice a week...now I have a 21 month old and 5 month old and we have sex like every other week ( I make sure he's taken care of more than that but I dont consider that "sex")

We're ok with this arrangement for the most part, but I just wanted to know if this happens to most couples?

Ok I know very little about adobe so I dont know actual terms or anything and I need simple instructions....

heres what Im wanting to do.....I want to make a picture sepia or black and white (not sure yet) and bring out any blues (like in shirts, eyes, etc.)

Anyways I've been messing with it all evening and still havent found a way to do what I really want.

so any tips would be great thank-you

hey i had my second child 4 months ago...with my first i never felt my uterus contracting when i breastfed....but with this one i have since day one...but is it normal to still be feeling contraction after 4 months its just small flutters....all most like the 1st movements when your prego (i dont think im prego) just wondering if this is normal?

Last Summer I planted 2 baby crape mertles in front of my house they were both the same height when planted...... they're both in full sunlight all day....one is now about 3 1/2 feet tall and the other is only about 1 foot (about the size it was when planted)...

I didnt trim either this spring so I guess I need to wait till next year...but does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get the other one to grow? It's very healthy blossoms beautifully....just doesnt want to get any taller.

We're in Southern Oklahoma

Hey everybody I was just wanting to know what age your child stopped taking showers/baths with you.

My daughters 17 months and i think its fine for her to still take showers with me or my husband, but im not sure about when se should stop.

So I just had my second baby. I have a 16 month old daughter and now a 3 week old son. And I was just looking for any advice ya'll might have for me...particularly about getting in and out of the car, like at grocery stores and stuff....I never know who I should get out first or get in first....just wondering what your "routine" for getting in and out of the car is lol. seems simple...but its what has me most confused so far.

any advice though is welcome

Ok, so we just found out we're having a boy which is what we were hoping for cuz we have an 11 month old girl. ANyways, we have a first name picked out but havent really come up with any good middle names

The first name is Teagan (pronounced like "Reagan" the president) So any middle names would be appriciated

hey everyone im about to have my 2nd baby, and i plan on breastfeeding for at least the first few months, I've seen in bed co-sleepers that the sides actually fold down so you can nurse the baby while they're in their sleeper then you can close it when they're done nursing but I cant remember where I have seen them

its not the kind that attch to the side of the bed and its not a snuggle nest but its kinda like the snuggle nest, anyways if anyone could help me find something like that it would be super great!

mommy to an 11 month old # 2 due April 6th 2010

Im pregnant!!! just wanted to tell everyone! I have an eight month old baby girl named Tori and I'm hoping for a boy this time but we'll see! I still have a ways to go before I can find out. I'm about 4 weeks along.
