Mommy of 3 Girls and 1 Angel Baby!

I'm looking for swimsuits for my girls. Does anyone know anyone who sells tops and bottoms separately fairly cheap? My oldest needs girls 10/12 tops but only 6/6x bottoms. My 3yr old twins are really thin but really tall. They can still wear 6/9 month or occasionally a 12 month in bottoms but need a 2T or 3T top for the length. We want either tankini style or bottoms with UV shirts. No one pieces or bikinis! We have already thought about just buying each girl 2 suits and mixing the pieces we need but the ones we can find that match the smaller size and larger size pieces are just too expensive.

My twins are about to be 1 at the end of the month and are still really small (they were preemies). Only 15% in length and still not on the charts for weight. They can still wear 0-3 month in their onesies and shorts but it has gotten strangely cool this weekend (only in the 60s and lower 70s). Their 0-3 pants came from Old Navy (was what I found to be longer and thinner than others) fit perfect in the waist but are too short. Moving up to the 3-6 month they are way too big in the waist but are still about an inch too short. Are there any brands that run even longer and thinner than Old Navy/Baby Gap (they are the same)? I've heard Children's Place but they don't seem to fit them as well as Old Navy/Baby Gap.

I'm playing 4 Pics 1 Word and am stuck on level 295. It is a 7 letter word. The top left picture is a lady wearing large framed glasses with her mouth puckered. The top right picture is a little boy with his hands on the side of his head kinda making antlers and his tongue sticking out. The bottom left picture is a lady with her hair in pig tails, her eyes are crossed and she is making an odd gesture with her mouth (not even sure how to describe it). The bottom right picture is a young girl eating a lemon and her whole face is making the sour, scrunched up look.

I know the middle letter is an "m". _ _ _ m _ _ _. The possible letters are R I M M L F A C T Z E G

Sorry this is a T.M.I. kind of question but a little concerned! Yes I have already called my dr, waiting on a call back. I never experienced this with my other pregnancies.

I am 22 1/2 weeks pregnant (with twins) and for the past hour or two have had a constant flow of a clear, odorless vaginal discharge. I just had an u/s Friday and everything was normal (no low fluid or anything abnormal). Has anyone else experienced this during this point of pregnancy? I know it's normal in the beginning and at the end of pregnancy but can't find anything about the midway point.

Thanks for any help!

My niece is 13 this year and I have no clue what to get her for Christmas this year (no money or gift cards, she likes actual gifts)! I have already figured out what to get her 3 siblings. I'm just stuck on her now, and it's boiling down to clothes. But I don't really want to get her clothes, I want to get her something she will really enjoy. When we ask her what she wants we always get the same answer "I don't know" or when she actually does have an answer, she changes her mind the next day and no longer wants whatever it was she wanted. She has several game systems (Wii, DS, PS2, and more) but she never plays them so no point in getting her a new game. All she ever does is talk on her phone. She listens to music a little bit but already has the cds she wants. She already has the movies she likes to watch. She has extremely sensitive skin so she can't wear makeup, perfumes and such because of breakouts. She doesn't like to read (she has a low reading level and can't find anything to hold her interest long enough to get better). Any suggestions?

I do not allow my kids (ages 11, 12 and just turned 13) on Facebook at home and they know they are not supposed to be on it anywhere (they are not responsible enough nor are they old enough) but they are on the rebellious upcoming teenage phase in life. And of course grandma lets them do as they please so she doesn't have to hear them whine. How can I block Facebook on her computer (she knows I am going to block it and doesn't mind as she doesn't use it)? I have tried the "internet options, content, content adviser, and so on" it doesn't work. I mean it blocks facebook but then it blocks other sites (even those I tell it can always be accessed). I have also tried the "start, notepad c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, search, so on" that doesn't work either. Until I figure ut out they are not on the computers at all, but I don't want to keep it this way as they do use educational sites and games (such as jump-start and abcya.com). Are there any other ways to block FB without buying software to block just one site? She uses internet explorer on windows xp. Thank you for any tips!

My niece is 12 about to be 13. She has a learning disability and can't really read. She is is the 6th grade (supposed to be 7th) and reading at a 1st grade level. She has made great progress this year but is bored out of her mind because she reads at such a low level there aren't really any books she enjoys reading (they are all too kiddy). She likes to try to read the books her friends are reading but just can't. Any suggestions on easy readers that are interesting enough for her to want to read (that's the only way she is going to get any better)? And please don't suggest tutoring (she already has tutoring 3 times a weeks) and please don't be rude. All I want is some fun easy read books! Thank you!

My nephew is way out of control. He is 11 years old (will be 12 when school lets out). He back talks, curses, gets in at least 1 fight a day at school and comes home to start fights his brother and 2 sisters, hits his mom (he doesn't have a dad and mom is very little as she is just under 5 ft tall and barely 100 lbs, he is bigger than she is). We have tried absolutely everything with him, no punishment works, counselors don't work. We don't know what else to do! What is a good military style boot camp that isn't going to cost us a fortune, we don't have a lot of extra money? We live in Huntsville, AL.

I am looking for some toddler flip flops for my daughter. She can't do the straps because she has a very narrow heel and straps rub blisters even the ones with adjustable straps. Please dont suggest stride rite (I'm not spending that much on flip flops) and sears (I work there and we dont have any).

Does anybody know where I can find some tall plus size maternity clothes? I am just short of 6 foot and a plus size girl. I asm having trouble finding talls and when I do they are little bitty. For my last pregnancy I didnt ever have to wear maternity clothes because she laid sideways so you couldn't even tell I was pregnant until she turned at 36 weeks, and I had lost 50 pounds from being so sick I could still wear my normal clothes. This time not the case, still losing weight but not as much and this one is turned up and down so you can tell this time. I dont want to spend a lot since I am losing weight and since this will be our last child so only need them a few more months. I dont mind shopping online but dont shop for clothes on ebay because I am so tall and have learned that people assume just because it is a little long on them that it must be long length when most of the time it is just because they are short.

My husband and I are in a Christian motorcycle group. I have been sewing our patches on myself as I grew up sewing and the shops around here charge too much to sew them on. I am now running out of room and would like to be able to sew on the areas where there is a pocket right behind it (on the inside), we use these pockets a lot and is not an option to just sew over them or sew them shut. Anybody have any thoughts/personal experience on how this can be done with an ordinary sewing machine (not hand sew, as that takes way too long and gets very tiring with the thick leather)?

We are getting ready for our vacation in just a few weeks. Trying to figure out what all I need to pack for my daughter who will be almost 15 months. I know the basics (clothes, socks, shoes, hat, sunscreen, etc). Trying to take as little as possible just want to make sure I take what I need. Is there anything you wished you had have taken with you?

Also need suggestion for sleeping arrangements. She is already in a toddler bed at home and naps in a pack-n-play at my brother-in-law's house but won't sleep in it overnight, there isn't room in our bed since it is only a queen and we are all movers/turners in our sleep (wouldn't want to squish her or her keep kicking us). There isn't a pull out sofa to take the mattress out of and put on the floor. Thought about renting a toddler bed down there but it's so expensive (they want to rent for twice the price I bought her bed for).

Any thoughts or suggestions on both topics would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

My daughter just turned 1 two weeks ago. Her feet seemed to have grown extra wide since. She needs either a 4 or 5 depending on the style. I need to know of some places that carry cute girls dress shoes. I am not going to stride rite to spend a ton of money for her to outgrow them next week. I work at Sears in the shoe dept and we just don't carry the cute dress shoes for her anymore. Any ideas on who else does would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

We are trying to come up with some new categories for the scattergories game. We already have the refill pack so please don't suggest we buy it. Try to keep them pretty clean, not too dirty.

Thanks!

I have a 3 month old baby myself (almost 4 months now) my friend is having a baby at the end of this month. They have asked me to babysit their baby 3 days a week for now. His dad is about to get a new job then it will be 5 days a week. I have been babysitting for almost 12 years but never really charged anything (it was almost always for family).

What should I charge if they provide everything (diapers, formula, etc.)? And what should I charge if I provide everything? For 3 days a week and for 5 days a week?

I had my daughter back on July 7 (just over 3 months now). We tried bf when she was born but had many complications and had to stop. The main reason being we thought she was allergic to my milk (it runs in the family where baby is allergic to moms milk). She would vomit everything she would take in every time she would eat and was severely broke out. But we just found out she's not. She had acid reflux (which she's now over) and was allergic to the soaps that the hospital and my mother-in-law washed the blankets in.

We would like to try to bf her again. I know I still produce because I still leak a little about once a week. I can't get her to latch on at all. I pump as often as I can but it is difficult since I work retail and only get a 15 min break so I can't pump at work. When I do pump I don't even get enough to call it milk it's more like a drop.

What can I do to increase my supply and to get her to latch again?

Our church has started a newlyweds sunday school class. It is fairly small approx 5 couples and all of us are pretty young (most being early 20s). We are looking for activities for us to do outside of church to help us connect and learn more about each other. We don't have to worry about kids, as my husband and I are the only ones with a child and we have a babysitter at any time we need one since she is only a month old.

What ideas do you all have? PLEASE DON'T LIST ANYTHING "NASTY", as this is a church group.

Thank you for the answers.
