My husband doesn't care that I'm pregnant?
I'm currently 7 months pregnant with a little baby boy that I can't wait to meet. Unfortunately, my husband of six years doesn't seem to share my enthusiasm. He barely even seems to notice that I'm pregnant at all... When I first found out the good news, I couldn't wait to tell him! I sat around all day trying to envision the moment and his reaction. I pictured laughing, crying, rejoicing, etc. However, when he got home from work and I informed him that he was going to be a father, his only reaction was an unimpressed “Oh… you know we can’t afford to have you quit your job right?” Needless to say, I was crushed. Unfortunately, he has remained equally indifferent throughout the rest of my pregnancy. When I try to discuss baby names, he just responds “I don’t care, as long as it doesn’t sound stupid.” He still hasn’t even felt the baby kick. He refuses to go shopping for baby clothes, cribs, toys... anything! We were scheduled to go to a parenting class together and he wouldn’t even get out of bed. It’s putting a major strain on our relationship and don’t think I can be with him if he’s going to be like this after the baby is born. Doesn’t he love our baby? Does he even plan on showing up at the hospital when the baby is born? I’ve tried confronting him with the issue but he continues to avoid dealing with it. How should I handle the situation?

what do you think of this?
Chapter one – a flicker of fire Mrs. Sullivan sat quietly on her bed. Her soft pale blond hair was swept back into a loose ponytail. It was late and she was dying to go to bed. But she couldn’t, she was waiting patiently for her husband. It was nearing midnight; she was losing her nerve now. Where is he? She thought desperately to herself. She turned and there stood at the back of the room, a crib, it stood oddly, gloomily, and dark, as though something had died. She got up from the bed and yawned, she was awfully tired. When she leaned over the crib, she was expecting a child to be wriggling his arms and legs in her face, but the crib lay empty and unoccupied. She sat in a handsome room, golden wallpapers covered the walls, her bed which she shared with her husband, was a violent shade of crimson. It was an oak base. A rock chair as well as the crib sat empty and seemed to be growing dust. The window was drawn open wait for a breeze that played around with the bed covers. She paced around the room, biting her fingers. “Honey, breathed a voice. She jumped and nearly fell; a strong arm caught her, confidently. She looked at the face and she grinned. He was a tall man, but it was very hard to see his face, as he was a hidden under a hooded cloak. “You took your time, she hissed as she placed herself back on the bed. From underneath his cloak she saw the man smile. Sorry, he said quietly, walking towards the crib, for the first time she finally realised he was holding a figure in his arms. Even cradling it lovingly. She jumped to her feet, flittering back to the man's side. Now when she looked at the crib, a baby with a small tuff of black hair was wriggling and crying softly. Mrs Sullivan's face softened and picked up the child and held him, so the child led against her chest. “He’s adorable,” she cooed. The man took off his hood. The first thing that would take her by surprise was his eyes. A man with such a serious face was not be expected to have such dazzling bright blue eyes. The contrast was so great when it came to his dark curls of black hair. When he came to sit next to Mrs. Sullivan on the bed, he first looked at her soften expression to the squirming smiling baby. It wasn't very hard you know? he said in and off hand tone. She looked at him. “Really? she said idly. “I thought he'd be more heavily guarded you know, but I don't even think now they know he is gone, “That’s quiet sad, Adam, I feel sorry for them, she said quietly, tickling the baby tummy, he squirmed worse than ever and giggled more. “Don’t be, he'll be safer with us, he said simply. Silence fell between them before she asked. “Are we keeping him? I really don’t think that we should kill him, I know they say he’s dangerous , but he doesn't look like it, if he grows up and we see what we truly fear , then we should consider... she said trailing off, as the baby started playing with her hair. I think you mean you couldn't bear too, I think his grown on you, he grinned. She looked at her husband and her violet eyes shone brightly in her drawn face. “Can you really blame me, he is loveable, you and I both now I can't have children... then she leaned her head against his shoulder. “Death would be cruel,” she muttered into his shoulder. “Especially to a child, he continued. The baby, who had finished playing around with the stranger’s hair, looked at Mr. Sullivan, with his piercing turquoise eyes. “Those eyes definitely aren't going to pass as my eyes if were keeping him, he said being caught by surprised by the baby eyes.

I am exhausted with my 9 month old baby?
I can't get my baby to bed at a decent hour. she sleeps with me in my bed and after 10 mins i transfer her in to her crib, she sleeps there for 15 mins and stands up in the crib holding on to the top screaming. I cant take it so I go in and get her out and then she wants to crawl around for another hour or so. Please help what do I do. What kind of schedule can I use. She is spoiled. Some nights she won't fall asleep until 11:00 or later. Again wakes up at 1:00 am and starts playing/crawling and sleeps at 2:00am, again at 5:00am and goes back to sleep at 6:00 and atlast at 9:00. Pleassssssssssssssssssse any advice. I can't let her cry. My heart goes out watching her in tears. She takes a nap at 11:00 am for 30 mins and then at 2:15 pm for about an hour.

rocking baby to sleep?
We are having an issue with our 1 year old waking during the night. Our pediatrician says that it is because he is having separation anxiety due to the fact that we rock him to sleep at night. There are many nights however, that he sleeps through with no difficulty. The main reason that we got into the habit of rocking instead of just putting him to bed is because he has had acid reflux since birth, and were instructed to hold him in an upright position for 30 minutes after eating. (He has choked on spit-up several times and stopped breathing) This resulted in a habit of holding him after his last bottle at night till he fell asleep, then we put him in his crib. Any ideas on how to get him to go to sleep on his own? He takes naps on his own through the day. I really don't think I can stand the idea of letting him cry himself to sleep at night though.
