I have a slight preference for a boy, so we have 1 of each. The wife wants another girl.
Been at the ER today for 4+ hrs, zofran hasn't kept her nausea/vomitting under control; lost 10 lbs in the last week + dehydration.

Damn, we gunna be close.
Boy number 2 in march. (We had one hit on may 5th years back.)
You all do the pre-natal screening blood-test?
We figured since we started "later in life" it may be a good idea just for prep-work if we needed to prepare for something like Down or other issues. Tests came back clean with like a 99.99 certainty. The additional of that is you get the gender alongside the results.
I don't remember which service we used but it was basically just a blood-test and waiting 2ish weeks.

We did the blood test for the first kid, haven't had the initial appt yet for this one. Wife turned 35 during while pregnant so it wasn't a fight with insurance to cover any of that kind of stuff.
My wife spoke with her OB while I was out today, scheduled for next week I think.

My hatred of schools continues. Why the Fuck are they teaching this abbreviation bullshit as real words? A few weeks ago, my daughter had a spelling question that had "crit" as an answer. Tonight's homework has a child and "tot" is the answer. I never would have known tot if not for Nancy Grace and that stupid "Tot Mom" Nick name she created for the Casey Anthony.
But why the fuck is this a spelling word when it's just an abbreviation for toddler?

Looking for thoughts on introducing kids to a new girlfriend.
I've been separated since Feb, and been seriously dating someone for about 2.5 months. I'd love for this person to someday meet my 6 year old son and 10 year old daughter. Just not sure where to even start.
How do you warm kids up to this stuff? What kind of activities are best at the beginning? What kind of consultation should I provide their mother?

So... Is there any realistic way to help a kid get over their fear of fucking everything? My daughter still refuses to watch any movies she hasn't seen before. I'm talking shit like Bambie and Ice Age. She hides or starts crying the moment anything even a little scary happens. She'll be 7 in January. This just seems really fucked up. I want her to get better, but I don't know how to do it without traumatizing her (even worse than she already acts). Any suggestions?

Shit my five year old twin girls ask to watch Gremlins, that movie with The Rock about the earthquake, Ghostbusters (one likes the old one, the other likes the new one).
We’ve always tried to maintain trust and not scaring them every chance we get, instead explaining how things work, showing them how movies are made and things happening not being real.
They watched The Stray the other day and they both got upset and sad when the dog died and the dad was hurt too. But one was legit crying sad, it was very endearing. She got over it quick and asked to watch it again the next day.

Is it an attention thing or legitimate terror?
My 3.5 year old son is terrified of going to bed. Nothing has helped

I was 11 when my parents got divorced. Probably 12 when my dad took my on a lunch date with a lady friend. He didn't really break it to me, just told me we're going on a picnic with a friend. I'm sure he didn't tell my mom either.

Sit with him and explain how sleep is just practice for dying, and if he doesn't shut up and go to sleep he won't have to wait another 70 years to get to the real thing.
