Still not talking!?WHY

feeds@kickapps.com (kaharonkwas) — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:23:57 PST

Riley is 19 month old now and she barely even talks...that's hardly! I am getting worried. She will say momma, bubba, mine, baby, and does baby babble. But when i try to get her to talk, like say "please" she will sign! When she wants "more" she will sign! I try to encourage her to speak but she just won't and so i am wondering if there is somehting wrong. I know she totally understand me because when i ask her to pick up her toys, she will, when i ask her to throw her diaper out, she will, or to get a drink or something, she will. But she just won't say a word...when you try to get her to say something she will do a little babling and then totaly shut down like she gets self-conscious or something. She does have 2 olders sisters who know what she wants, so yeah, that might not help. But my concern is there are kids at her daycare, her age, who are just babbling away and she will sit there and point or sign...........any advice???

Advice

So I just need some girl advice from some outsiders......

Ok, so I have this friend.. she is one of my best friends, just lately it has not felt that way..... Last year she Broke up with her live in boyfriend cause he was not ready to get married and she really wants that... so anyways she meets this other guy like 1 week later.. He is a good guy and all, but ever since she is just so wrapped up in him that i dont even see her anymore. I mean if I am married have 2 kids and am preggers and make time, you think that she could. And any time I call her to do something I get " let me check with BF and see if he has made plans for us yet".. Like come on you can't just make plans with a girl friend and tell him you all ready made plans. I just feel so mad... Before him she was over 2 times a week at least for visits, and not I am lucky if I see her one time month... (if he is busy) and even then she is texting him non stop..... The last time she came over she was texting him all...

My poor little girl

Has had the worst luck this year............A couple weeks ago Averee decided to cut her own hair while i was putting her little sister to sleep. I don't keep scissor in the house because that's happened before and well, I found these scissors, which were Ainslee's teachers scissors and she obviously brought it home, in the bathroom.....after noticing a lock of hair on the carpet!! I almost lost it when i saw her! There was hair everywhere in her room and in the bathroom so no , it wasn't just bangs! She decided to cut all the way around!!! My sister took her to the hair salon to try and repair it (kinda looked like a mullet, lol ) but still looked crappy SO she went back to another haircutter and they end up just cutting it even, which means it looks like a boy cut....lol....Her cute little blonde hair is gone....she cut some areas almost to the skin so we couldn't even give her a mushroom cut or a bob!
AND last week, while...

Is there a good way to curb biting??

feeds@kickapps.com (nickinoodles) — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 16:42:43 PST

I'm in trouble, Nate is a biter!! Izzie was never a biter so I have no idea what to do. I feel bad punishing him since he only does it when he is excited or happy, he thinks it some kind of a game, but I know I am going to have to do something because it's getting bad. He crawls over and bites your knees or feet when you are sitting on the couch and then laughs hysterically. Or he will be so happy to see you and you think he is going in for a nice hug (he gives great ones!) and he takes a chunk out of your neck like a little vampire!! What do I do??? Is there a good way to stop this before he gets bigger?? We don't play bite and I don't laugh or smile anymore when he does it, but so far it doesn't seem to help.

Izzie turns 3 tomorrow! (Pics)

I can't believe it's been 3 years already. My baby is turning 3 tomorrow. Here are a couple of pictures of her at her party. It was at Imjine That which is similar to Chuck E. Cheese. She asked for a pink snake cake with a tongue she could eat.

What could this be? (kinda TMI)

feeds@kickapps.com (babyflu) — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 13:35:07 PST

So, you may (or may not) see in my ticker that I'm on about CD48-ish w/ no AF yet. We all know that that's common for me. The question I have is this: I keep getting a "gush" of stuff coming out... mostly when I bend down or twist, or something where I'm kinda using stomach muscles. It's always clear & almost feels like I've gotten pee in my underwear, but it's not pee.

Any insight? FYI: I started doing a not-so-strict low carb diet about 2.5 weeks ago. I was thinking that it could be me trying to ovulate, but it's been going on for at least a week or so?!

tigger!

Do I see something new in your siggy??

peoples opinion on your fertility plans

feeds@kickapps.com (Ratchie) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 11:51:34 PST

i find it really irritating when it seems like the whole world and his wife have an opinion on another womens family plans
For instance when i got married i got asked when are you going to have a baby i had one then it was when is stella gonna get a brother or sister. We gave her a brother and then i was told that was it no more i should be happy with one boy one girl.
Now that i have four the amount of people who feel the need to ask me is that it. Complete strangers say to me are they all yours and when i say yes they say oh you dont want anymore then do you.
I always feel like saying oh yes i want at least ten.
Why do people do that

questions about tubal

feeds@kickapps.com (Ratchie) — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 04:52:38 PST

firstly anyone who had one did you have heavier afs afterwards

secondly how did it affect your aherm love life

and finally this may sound stupid but even though i know that statistically its not very likely to get pregnant after having a tubal but i still find myself worrying one in two hundred chance sounds quite high to me. SO my question is how long did it take to get used to the idea that you dont need to use anyother precautions. I find myself avoiding the fertile time of the month even though im not actually fertile lol

I'm so annoyed right now. Izzie's birthday party is this Saturday at a place called Imajine That. It's similar to chuck e. cheese. Anyway we invited a bunch of people and their kids to come and I asked that they RSVP by a certain date on the invites. Well a few days has passed since that date and Sunday I emailed and FB messaged the people who hadn't let me know yet to please get back to me only because on Tuesday the people form Imajine that are calling me to make final plans including how much pizza and drinks I need for the party. There are 3 people who haven't responded and if they all come with their families that will be 8 people, so it's not like I could just order a little bit extra to cover it. I just think it's so rude that they haven't told me if they are coming or not! I am tempted to just order enough for the people who have responded yes and then if the others show up I will just say, "Oh sorry, we don't have enough pizza for...

bedwetting question

feeds@kickapps.com (kgcg) — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 10:37:08 PST

I haven't had to deal with this with Cole - he's only had 1 accident ever. Ella was doing really well in underwear in bed recently for 2-3 weeks she was waking up dry! She got sick last week and she's had numerous accidents..I'm not sure if it's because she's been sick, regressing or what. Any advice - should I put her in pull-ups or under jams until she gets it - just keep changing wet sheets til she gets it (my least favorite choice) or what? TIA!

I am pregnant.. maybe OVERLY sensitive... and I do take most of the stuff.. and just.. STUFF it..
BUT today.. something happened today.. that really MADE ME MAD..
..
.. So for mom's bday we got a mariachi (originally my brother, one sister and I would split the bill .. 100 dollars each .. they charged 300 for one hour and we got them for one hour only.. at the end my brother decided to only take 50 from each.. since he didn't buy her a present)..
..
WE all loved the mariachi.. and my husband said.. that he wanted one for his BDAY.. (on the 6th of Feb).. of course my mom heard..
and yesterday she called me and said.. well.. I know Adrian wants a mariachi for his bday.. lets get it for him.. its a beautiful feeling to have a mariachi for you bday.. I said.. well its 300 dollars.. I personally think its .. too much money.. for something NOT TANGIBLE.. and she said.. WELL .. I can talk to your brother and sisters.. and tell them NOT to get him presents...
