I also had a great sleeper until about that age. Slept through the night. Great napper, etc. I could leave the room when he was still awake, then he would fall asleep on his own. It's tough because I'd always had it so easy. We tried everything. Ds is 6 now and it still isn't great. Takes him forever to fall asleep, and I have finally acknowleged he just doesn't need as much sleep as other dc (about 9 hours a night). Could that be your dc's problem? [ Reply | More

This sounds different...but we taught our daughter that God is in her heart. When she is scared, I come in, I ask for a gaurdian angel, or have her ask for one. She likes to ask God for one that is brave, strong, and the best. We "throw" all the fear out of her heart, so God can have more room to work, and then I pray to God that he will protect her. Kids get that God is SO big. Ya know Veggie tales song, God is bigger than the boogie man. It works everytime, and then she literally rolls over and goes back to sleep. Nothing else ever worked!

Well if your DH has a sense of humor, and knows you are not using protection (and he is not either) why don't you just ask if he wants to play a little "roulette?" Seriously, he has to know in the back of his mind that there is always a chance you will get pg, and to that end you know that the stats are not on your side that the timing will be perfect for pg anyway.

My friend's husband was really pissed, but they had clearly discussed not having anymore kids, and she had a hard time conceiving anyway. On her own she went on Clomid or something that would aid in fertility and ended up pregnant. She couldn't see why he was mad, they were having sex, but knew on her own the chances were slim to none of conception. She couldn't understand how he would be upset, I think that kind of sneaky stuff is somewhat of a betrayal. Anyway, she ended up miscarrying in the end, she was devestated of course. They had three girls already but really wanted a boy. Now they are divorced! [ Reply | More

eyes, ears, nose and throat are all connected, so it is probably just a symptom of the cold. But if it continues, a visit to the pediatrician is never a bad thing just for peace of mind. [ Reply | More
