Self Hair Color Suggestions??

Hello.. I am wanting to color my hair myself. I usually go to a salon, but it is so expensive!! And I can't afford to fork out that kind of money every time! I have dishwater blonde hair and want to color it ULTRA blonde.. like Paris Hilton blonde. Does anyone have any recommendations of a good home hair color kit?? I don't want it to turn out gold or yellowish! Any suggestions on brands or colors that have worked well for you?? Thanks!

Med and Pregnancy

Hi, I know i will have to discuss this with my doctors, but just wondered if any of you have went through/are going through this. I had our first child almost 3 months ago via c-section and ended up with a blood clot and am now on warfarin. I will have to be on it for at least another 3 or 4 months probably. My husband and I would like to have another child and are considering trying again in a few months. I have heard that warfarin causes severe birth defects and or miscarraige.

Experiene with Toxoplasmosis?

Have you had any experience with toxoplasmosis, especially in young children? If so, tell me if you think this sounds like it. I've already looked up all the signs and symptoms and done my reserach online and that is why I think this might be toxoplasmosis. I am thinking our children might have caught toxoplasmosis from their recently adopted 6 week old kitten. Our 1-1/2-year-old daughter started running a 102 fever about Thursday and it has only seemed to break today. She's been very cranky and irritable, complaining of pain (at one...

Pain During Intercourse?

First of all, I'm a VERY paranoid person. I just found out last week I'm pregnant with my 3rd child & since my second one was born which was 3 years ago, I haven't had a pap smear done.

I don't know if it's because I already have two children or what the extent has to be of...

Pregnancy and Travel

Hey Mamas - I am currently 24 weeks pregnant, high-risk only based on the fact that I had an unexplained stillborn 4 years ago. I am out of work per doctor's orders. I have plans to go out of state twice during the rest of my pregnancy... for my brother's girlfriend's baby shower (I'll be 29 weeks, 13 hr drive)... and the same brother's graduation from Basic Training (I'll be 32 weeks, 7 hr drive). What I am asking is how did you travel during your pregnancy? Did the lable "high-risk" make you unable to travel? What precautions did you...
