can you leave him in the crib a bit longer each morning? maybe he'll learn to entertain himself, or soothe himself back to sleep [ Reply | More

Not that this helps now (NP) but when my now 5 yo was 2yo, I taught him how to recognize a number 6 and said that he could not get out of bed until the clock had a six on it (then had to modify it to be ON THE LEFT!!!!). GL, OP. Having early risers SUCKS. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I apologize in advance - this is a little gross. I am pregnant with #1 and I have a terrible hemorrhoid that is bleeding a little. I am RH negative and my doctor said that i needed a shot if I bled from my vagina. Do you think I need a shot because of the hemorrhoid? 6 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

My guess is no, because there is no likelihood of blood mixing from your hemorrhoid and the baby, which is the concern that leads to Rhogam shots. [ Reply | More

you need a shot only if there is any chance you bleed/bled from the placenta (which may be rh + from the baby) Your personal blood is not an issue [ Reply | More

I just posted below...it's VERY tough. You have to get DH to help. Have him help with dinner, getting db's things ready for the next day so you can go for a walk/jog once db is in bed. I get off a few stops early during my commute to get some brisk walking in, and I jog a few times a week at 8pm once db is asleep. It's really hard, but you have to take every 10-15 minutes you can get:-). [ Reply | More

The funny thing is the other night around 3am I heard him laughing in his sleep. The next morning he woke up and said "Mommy, my night time friends came last night". 8 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More
