Where to start? OK, at the top level, you've installed Google Checkout wrong - you've got this file here:
http://www.mommyandbabyessentials.com/htaccess.php
which you should move IMMEDIATELY into the admin section!
The .htaccess in your root folder should ONLY contain what I pasted before.
Anything else with .htaccess_SOMETHING should NOT be in the root folder.
Remember, Zen (and extensions and stuff in particular) isn't a beginners thing.
It can be done, but expect to have your head buried in forums and patch files a lot more than you spend on the business!
I've tried a few files on your site, and you're in serious danger of getting hacked.
Remember, deep breath, lots of time without interruption, take it all one step at a time, read ALL the readmes, and you'll be fine.
You need to print out ALL the info relating to both the SEO thing AND Google checkout, and read it all, and tick it off. I've been in IT for 10 years now, and these two mods took me over half a day to get going at all.

You DO need to read things carefully, though.
For example, I see you've now put my code in .htaccess.php
You MUST get rid of the .php extension - the files should JUST be called .htaccess
Nothing on the end. just .htaccess
If you're using a windows based server, then this is going to get so tricky that someone else might have to take over! :laugh:

Yes, I am on Windows, I have thought about changing but I wasn't sure it was worth it? What do you suggest? Also, you said I could be hacked, is SEO and google the only 2 that you see? I looked and found a patch that I did not install, so I am doing that right now.

Well, windows CAN be done, plenty of people are - does your host offer you a choice?
If you're up and running thus far, I'd stick with it.
The only time I tried a windows host, things like renaming .something files was troublesome!
But you've done the right thing- you came, you asked.
And ignore it if my replies seem sarcastic - I'm usually on the phone on hold as I type, so I don't often have the luxury of getting the nicities!
Re: Chemo's Ultimate URL's
Oh, you have been very helpful!! I can't thank you enough. I started this blindly 2 months ago and am learning but it is hard to figure things out. I will start paying closer attention to files and such. I just hope I can figure out why my paypal isn't creating the order! I am have to call the people and ask them what they ordered!! Do you know anything about Firefox? I'm also having problems with that!! What a day! http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69273

Something else I thought about - make sure you're not on php5 - go to the server info in tools, and see what you're on. If it says php5, ask your host how to switch to 4 temporarily to test things.
There's certainly an issue with php5 and zen on most servers.

Versions? Patches installed? Settings? Contents of .htaccess?
We ALWAYS need all the above when dealing with this mod

Perhaps, the best advice for right now is to stay away from a beta mod that is not production ready. Spend your time learning about Zen Cart inside out and when you fully understand the inner working of ZC you can start messing with beta mod like this.
The creator of this mod strongly caution against using this mod in production environment.
