Secular Confessions

[The10Eels]

I wanna TEXT someone!!!
You still have my number??



Kansas City! Unfortunately I won't have time to meet up with the KC crew because we'll be there for like... a day... that my DH and his friend have already super-duper scheduled :eyeroll:

AGATHA! You tease!!

[WillowSpy]

You still have my number??



AGATHA! You tease!!

I know! I would have loved to meet you, Audri, Krista, and Liam, and try some root beer milk!

[The10Eels]

You can at least still try the root beer milk... Stop into any grocery store (I don't think Walmart sells it though) and grab a bottle... Shatto is the brand name..

DH recommends Hy-Vee or Price Chopper..

[AlishaAnew]

You still have my number??



AGATHA! You tease!!

Yes'm I shall text something random! :D

[shutterbird]

I confess... no need to test! AF is here!

[Rin]

I confess... no need to test! AF is here!

Aw shucks. :winks:

I confess I am anxious about my apoointment tomorrow. I know I have to be honest, but I don't want my doctor, who I love, to judge me. Hopefully she'll point me in the right direction to straighten myself out...

[misfit]

People can text me. I get all excited when I get text messages.

[heartmyboyz]

I confess I like random texts because it makes Robert jealous. And we need that sometimes, cause I give him no other reason to be jealous.

I also confess that AF is on vacation. I think she decided I deserved a month off. :eyebrow:

So... whenyagontest? :laugh::pokey:

I like texting too... when I have my phone. Lorelai likes to play hide and seek with it! (Minus the seeking part.) :eyeroll:

[heartmyboyz]

Probably not gonna test. I tested last month when I was a week late and got a BFN. I honestly don't think I am pregnant. I don't *feel* pregnant anyways. I'll wait till the end of the month, cause I don't have the funds to buy a test anyways. I think I just skipped a month.

[sunrider]

I confess . . . technically I'm getting more sleep, but I feel much less rested this week because of freaky arse disburbing dreams. They're not really nightmares (I'm not being chased, or fear for my life), but just some completely weird ****e that is totally disturbing. What is wrong with me that I'm dreaming like this? Sunday night, Monday night, and last night were horrible. Tuesday morning I woke up at 4 am crying because I was so upset, and this morning after Tred's alarm went off, I cuddled up to him and just sobbed . . . images from my dream still stuck in my head.:pace:

[WillowSpy]

I confess, kinda related to sunrider's confession, I have some wacky intense dreams to. And for the first time ever I woke up with the big O from a dream I had. First time ever I had "positive effects", I am usually just like you, Krista :hugs:

[xtrememousey]

i confess i am very highly disappointed in my SIL right now

[daylilies]

I feel really terrible (I confess)
I was at the new house with Josh and my MIL was there too. Josh and I were getting ready to go home and so was she. Josh said "I don't want you" to me :( He wanted to go with MIL. So she took him which is nice because I can get some stuff done at the new house and then relax and do laundry at the apartment. But I feel like he doesn't like me lately. I've been a little stressed lately. It's been deathly hot here and we're trying to move in and I just haven't had much time for him. I feel so bad. But whenever I do try to interact with him he doesn't want to cooperate. All I hear is "no" or "I don't have to" or "It's okay mommy I don't want to" and I feel so frustrated that this kid is being so condescending towards his own mother LOL He's been doing weird out of character behavior lately and it scares me sometimes and I don't know if it's a normal phase or if something is wrong. He shakes his head a lot and pants and I think he's just acting like a dog but other times I think something is wrong with him.,..Aggghh

[WillowSpy]

Oh no, I gather the intervention did not go well? :hugs:

:hugs: I'd try not to worry for now, I can't think of anything "wrong" that would cause a kiddo to not like/want their mom but be ok with everyone else. Maybe he is just in that "I can do it myself" phase? Everyone I know with kids has gone through the anti-mommy phase, sadly :(

Oh I don't mean the anti-mommy behavior. I know that's normal unfortunately. Things like shaking his head and singing the same line from something over and over (I can't even understand what he's saying sometimes but it's the same thing repeatedly), or screeching repeatedly, stuff like that scares me because he's not usually wild like that. But I just hope it's the age, or the whole moving process making him act out.

Ahhhhhh. I know other moms on here have had very similar concerns especially with stuff like head shaking, arm flapping, repeated sounds/words but honestly, in the majority of the cases it turns out to just be a weird phase. Though I can't imagine how hard it must be to see your child acting "different" and not be able to do anything about it :hugs:

[xtrememousey]

Oh no, I gather the intervention did not go well? :hugs:


it didn't happen,...she backed out last second

[WillowSpy]

it didn't happen,...she backed out last second

I'm sorry :hugs:

[daylilies]

I confess Josh wanted me to stay with him tonight when he went to bed, and I did for a while, because he rarely wants to snuggle with me anymore. He wrapped both arms around my head and held me like that for a long time. And I cried. I miss when he was a little baby and all he wanted to do was lay on me.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Cuddle time is the best. I'm glad he gave you some much needed love.

[sunrider]

I confess . . . I was freaky-dream free last night.
I confess . . . I choose to believe that it's because I moved my dreamcatcher back over my bed. It was over the dresser from when the bed was against that wall and I'd just never moved it. I still just dozed between about 5-7 am, but my sleep up to that point was much better.

You know... doing feng shui-related stuff always helps my sleep. Is it placebo effect? Probably, hehe. But I still do it :)

[3andMe]

I hardly ever dream, but last night I had one worthy of an action movie! I had to go rescue dh who was in the middle of working on some doomsday device, on my motorcycle, with a submachine gun. It was awesome and scary. I was so confused when I woke up that I had to double-check to make sure I turned off my alarm.

And Yay WillOwispy for the fun pregnancy dreams. Those are great.

I confess I'm finally back to work, after being off since May 29th. I started a few days ago and am still not caught up on all the gossip. But I have to leave and clock in now! Dh said I'd been off work so long he thought I'd decided to retire.

[stephmama]

We've been watching so much Lost that I keep having dreams that I'm in episodes lol.

That sounds like a REALLY cool dream!

YAY! I'm glad you're finally feeling better!

[maggie]

Lydia, I'm glad you're feeling better. FINALLY! That took way too long. I hope the wellness sticks!

[AlishaAnew]

I confess.......
on my final exam for my first MOD I got a 99!! and for the class a 96 :D:D oh and lab was 98 :)
...11 more to go :)

I confess....
I think I want to be a scientist so I can discover the male PMS hormone :laugh:

[The10Eels]

I confess that thing about male PMS hormone seriously made me giggle!
I am doing my 3 hour glucose test, and am SO thankful the hospital has free wi-fi, and I remembered to bring my laptop, or I would seriously be going CRAZY right now..
The lab was SO backed up that I had to wait for an hour and a half just to get my drink.. so my "3 hour test" will actually be taking 4.5 OY

[daylilies]

I confess I can't stand it when DH calls when he's on the road and he puts me on speaker phone so he has to yell but it still sounds like he's a mile away--and he thinks he can talk about important matters like issues with the house in these conditions--
I say "ok well I'm gonna let you go so you can drive, call me back when you can talk"

I confess I must have missed that you failed your one hour. I'll keep :fingerscrossed: that you pass the 3 hour. YAY for free wi-fi.

What hospital are you at? And do you know where you're going to deliver yet?

[The10Eels]

I didn't really announce that I failed the 1 hour.. In all reality, I didn't fail... but my numbers were elevated enough that my dr wanted me to do the 3 hour just to be safe (especially since I was so borderline with Audri)

Im at TMC Lakewood... and this is where I'll be delivering too.. unless something unexpected happens.

I'm really happy with my doctor. He's kinda helping me plan a VBAC even though "this hospital doesn't do them" - "Because I didn't have an ultrasound til 27 weeks they can't trust the dating so they'll just have to let me go into labor"

I hate that too! But DH never wants to talk about important things.. Just always calls to bullsh!t

[The10Eels]

I confess I am now even more bummed that Agatha's weekend trip to KC is all booked up... Dh just called and we got our Bond Refund from when he was arrested in June, and would actually have gas money to do a meet up!!!

I meant to ask if you had GD with Audri. Hoping you pass the 3 hour, too.

Awww I'm so sorry! :( I have your number though so I will give you a call if something looks possible. We're going with another couple, and both DH and the other guy are all gung ho about going to sporting events, BBQ.... I dunno lol.

Good news about the bond refund though! You guys should go do something fun!

[The10Eels]

Awww I'm so sorry! :( I have your number though so I will give you a call if something looks possible. We're going with another couple, and both DH and the other guy are all gung ho about going to sporting events, BBQ.... I dunno lol.

Totally understand! But by the sounds of it, you can't be TOO far away if you are doing it as a weekend trip -- so perhaps next time? If there is one.. lol

[The10Eels]

I meant to ask if you had GD with Audri. Hoping you pass the 3 hour, too.
Honestly I think I did... With her my # was at the cutoff of 140, and they didn't have me do the 3 hour... This time my # was at 136 and they said "Better safe than sorry"

It would definitely explain why she was 9lbs 2oz

[daylilies]

Hey wanna hear something cool? My bridal shower and the move in date to our new house (tomorrow) are exactly 5 years apart.
I swear I have been trying to read all the confessions, but I've been unpacking a lot...and I must do the blanket hugs, congrats, sorries and compassionate angry faces because I just cannot keep up...

Meh . . . Mine was 104, not even close . . . and my youngling was 9 lb 10 oz :shocker:

[AmeriBrit]

Glad to hear you're doing better, Lydia!

Ashley, I hope you pass your 3 hour test! They don't even do those tests in England unless you already have issues and I'm kinda glad.

Alisha, congrats on the good grades.

I confess I've just finished reading The Time Traveler's Wife and I cried so so much. I've clung to my husband ever since he got home from work. LOL.

[WillowSpy]

Awww Kate don't worry about us, just do your moving thing :) We'll be here once you're back.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I confess i've stopped posting in here and I confess I don't know why!

[WillowSpy]

I confess you should resume!

[daylilies]

Awww Kate don't worry about us, just do your moving thing :) We'll be here once you're back.
You're cute. I had to go back and read what I wrote because I couldn't remember what I said LOL
I can't stay away too long from you guys...but I'm sad that I've also been missing church!

[AmeriBrit]

I confess we viewed a house today and will be viewing another tomorrow in the same neighborhood. I hope we get some people wanting to view ours soon as I'd love to start decorating my new house, whichever it may be!

[AlishaAnew]

I confess DD woke up every hour last night and now I am feeling slightly :crazy:

[The10Eels]

I confess we were gone yesterday from 8:30 am until 1:30 am this morning...
I confess I am not looking forward to seeing FIL and sMIL when they get home... I am afraid they are going to b!tch us out for not getting things done around the house, so while they were gone I got up and quickly did dishes, took out the trash and swept. lol

[sunrider]

I confess - if there isn't another future X-gamer pic of Claire in Lydia's signature. Does that girl have no fear? :winks:

[AlishaAnew]

I confess I have been exhausted all weekend.
I am too exhausted to remember this funny church sign I saw and really wanted to tell you ladies.:headbang:

[3andMe]

I confess - if there isn't another future X-gamer pic of Claire in Lydia's signature. Does that girl have no fear? :winks:

She has no fear, doesn't feel pain very much, and loves thrills. Last night she was on our desk chair, standing up, not holding onto anything, and having Ronin spin her in circles. DH was just telling me he thought she might end up doing a lot of drugs in high school because of her risk-taking behaviors and love of wild sensations. :silly: It was easy to take that picture because she kept climbing up the stairs and leaping off, over and over.

Nah I don't think she will do drugs but get a lot of tattoos and piercings:laugh:

[sunrider]

Nah I don't think she will do drugs but get a lot of tattoos and piercings:laugh:

Or become an X-gamer. I could easily see her flying through the air at the top of a half pipe with roller blades on her feet. Or straddling a bike. Or maybe, with the jumping thing, she'll take up skydiving.

Any of those would be better than drugs. . . . :winks:

[maggie]

As noted in other thread, I confess that I'm now married to a doctor. Sorta.

That IS totally awesome! Is he asking you to call him doctor? Mine did for a little while. :laugh:

I totally would. lol

[maggie]

He hasn't asked, but I have been all night. It cracks me up.

[Gwenn]

That's awesome! Congratulations!

[girlwonder]

I confess that I am trying to write an artist's statement for studio tour coming up and it's all such ridiculous and meaningless linguistic wordplay that it is frustrating, annoying, a waste of time, but also secretly fun. To write a whole paragraph that has no meaning whatsoever is kind of a challenge for this old English major!

Congrats to Maggie's doctor husband (do we call you Dr. Maggie, too? Do you have a doctoral degree already? hmmm) and yes, I noticed Claire in your signature photo earlier - she is just leaping with abandon!

[shutterbird]

OMG JANEEN!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! :hooray: :hooray:

[daylilies]

I confess hi again! I'm back online pretty much. I can't get on as much since we actually have a computer room in the new house and it's not in the main room anymore. I missed you guys.
I confess I feel like this house still isn't actually ours. We've had so many people trampling in and out, lots of problems and snags, etc. It's very frustrating but it will be great when everyone is gone and we can relax. I confess I haven't been sleeping well here though, and I hear strange things and I feel like strange things happen here. Like this morning I know I turned the computer on. I walked away and came back and it was off. Stuff like that could either be creepy or just me being a flake. LOL
Edit to add: Just now I opened windows in the living room and came back and half of them were shut....which would have been creepy if I had not caught my son in the act of shutting another one...

[maggie]

do we call you Dr. Maggie, too? Do you have a doctoral degree already? hmmm)

You can wait on calling me doctor. I'm writing up my thesis now and will (I think I can I think I can) submit it sometime this fall. So, soon enough. I hope! :laugh:


Janeen.........is there some news that needs to be shared????

[Janeen]

Well apparently, from what this pregnancy test is telling me and from what the doctor confirmed...THE IUI WORKED!!!!! :D


OMG JANEEN!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! :hooray: :hooray:

Thanksssssssssssss!

[3andMe]

Wow! Yahoooooo! Weeeeehaaaa! Congratulations Janeen!

[maggie]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY YYYYYYYYYY! Congrats Janeen!

[WillowSpy]

Woot woot Janeen!!!!!! I'm doing the happy dance in my chair for ya :)

[daylilies]

yay Janeen Congrats!
You'll have to excuse typos. my genius DH left a razor blade in a huge box of stuff from our bathroom and i stuck my hand in it and got cut. Now I can't use my lft middle finger properly grrr

[sunrider]

Wow, the things that happen when I'm away from the computer!

Congrats to Maggie's Dr Husband - who I guess is now DrDH or DDH.

Congrats to Janeen! Yay! More Heathen Expansion!

[stephmama]

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay for heathen babies!!!

[sunrider]

I confess I have been tempted lately to post a poll in my birth room about religious affiliation just out of sheer curiosity.

I know in some birth rooms it's more of an issue, but no one in my month has ever said anything that has EVER made me want to consider leaving. I can't decide if it's just coincidence and that particular group of ladies, or if the general comments just don't "get to me" like they "get" to other people.

[The10Eels]

I confess I am beyond thrilled that Agatha and Janeen are now both expecting!!!

I confess it scares the sh!t out of me how quickly October is coming

[WillowSpy]

Every time I look at your ticker, I am floored by how the numbers are flying by!!!

Oh... and Shatto Root Beer Milk is the SHIZNIT!!!!! DH and I chugged a whole bottle in like 15 min (and then of course I threw up LOL) but it was gloriously delicious. And we got it from HyVee like you suggested!

[The10Eels]

aaaah!! Im so glad you loved it!! but so sorry it made you throw up!! lol

I was floored by how much a bottle costs, then DH told me that there is a deposit return when you take the empty (clean) bottle back to the store

[Bean]

I confess I am SOOOOOOO glad to be over with this farking class. My professor was such a JERK. I just got my paper back and his comments were rude and he gave me 1 point shy of a B. What. Ever. I honestly don't even care, I'm just so happy that I never have to take another class from him.

[sunrider]

I confess I almost told this woman to frak off beeotch and hang up on her.
I confess I'm now crying in my office because I'm so angry.

[AmeriBrit]

Congrats, Janeen!

[stephmama]

:hugs: Cass. I hated when I would get jerkface professors. Lame.


:hugs: Sunrider. Don't let *****es get you down.

[sunrider]

:hugs: Sunrider. Don't let *****es get you down.

Thanks . . . I'm coming off inlaw stress too and dealing with the scheduling planning of Liam's first birthday party.

[WillowSpy]

Big, big hugs for Sunrider.

I confess that my new favorite website is http://www.answersingenesis.org, particularly the Q&A section. It's like a train wreck - I know I should stop reading but I just can't.

[Janeen]

Thanks ladies. :)

[Gwenn]

Congrats, Janeen!

[Rin]

Congrats Janeen!!

[WillowSpy]

I confess, I love everyone in this room.

[The10Eels]

I confess my dad just called me to tell me that FIL is about 2 days away from kicking DH out of the house...

I confess I did NOT need this stress right now..

I confess I wish Target would call about DH's interview already!!

Still no info on the driving job for DH Ashley?

And what, are they going to kick DH out and let you stay? :shocker: Riiiiiight

[Janeen]

I confess that I have my second beta today and I'm finding it to be scaaaaaary!

[daylilies]

oo good luck Janeen!

[WillowSpy]

Go go baby! Go go beta levels!

[Janeen]

They were 31 two days ago (12DPIUI), what do you think they should be today at 14DPIUI??

[WillowSpy]

They are supposed to approximately double every 48-72 hours so like.... hmmm... somewhere between 50 and 75?

[daylilies]

I confess this is sort of a rant--
I confess I want these workers out of my house--the electrician is such a douche and his assistants are unreliable so he has been bringing his 15 year old son to help him. Our carpenter brings his 17 year old son. The carpenter is sort of a friend of the family and he's been giving us good deals on his work and he does a nice job but I feel weird having kids help these guys out.

Plus none of them show up on time. I have to sit around waiting for them so I can let them into the house. It's almost noon and nobody is here yet. I need to go to Target and grocery shopping and the bookstore. I'm wasting a whole day of not having Josh here so I could get things done faster and I don't have much I can do at the house. Augh!

:hugs: Why is being late and unprofessional such an intricate part of contractor culture? Grrrr. I am sorry you are cooped up with nothing to do. Hopefully they'll finish soon and you'll be able to settle in for real!

Well the electrician finally came around noon and I did my errands. The other guy never showed up. Oh well! The electrician will be done today! (supposedly he is just cleaning up now--he is down in the basement swearing and making lots of noise and sweating like a pig...lol)

[Ky'sMom]

OMG JANEEN!!!!!!!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! :hooray: :hooray:

This!!!!! CONGRATS Janeen!!! Can't believe I over looked this yesterday!

Oh, this brings back memories of when we moved in our house!!! I soooo dislike the timeframes of contractors. I always say they are on CP time. In case you never heard of CPT (colored people time) it is a joke with black folks who are always late or start events late, which happens a WHOLE lot. I'm probably one of the only people I know who isn't always on CPT. But I changed it for the sake of our electrician and other contractors to be Contractor People Time. The I hope they showed up for you and got everything done. I know I hate sitting around waiting for peopel to show up when I have stuff to do.

OMG I am cracking up hun, you're hilarious (maybe because when I read it, I did it in a Dave Chapelle-type voice which added to the hilarity) :laugh: And nice to see you in Secular confessions again :)

[The10Eels]

Still no info on the driving job for DH Ashley?
Nope... Last we heard from them they said that there was a delay in their paperwork, and they weren't sure when they could start up...

And what, are they going to kick DH out and let you stay? :shocker: Riiiiiight
Yup. That's exactly what they meant. Like I could REALLY stay there after they kicked my husband out?!?

and -- I confess DH confessed to me that he has been thinking about joining the National Guard.

[WillowSpy]

I confess DH confessed to me that he has been thinking about joining the National Guard.

I don't know what sort of skills your DH has or what field he'd be interested in, but I have a friend who is in the Air National Guard and not only did it basically save his life but he now works for them full-time with great salary/benefits, and will make x2 his salary once he "retires" from the military and continues working his job as a civilian. He was deployed to Iraq for a few months but due to the nature of his job he never once left the base, saw no combat, and actually complains that it was "too safe and boring" :laugh:

[daylilies]

This!!!!! CONGRATS Janeen!!! Can't believe I over looked this yesterday!


Also,

LOL. I never heard that one before. Honestly though one day he told me he'd be here at 10 and he didn't show up until almost 1.
He came to me just now asking for a glass of water saying "I haven't had anything to drink all day" OMG bring drinks! In 90 degree weather especially!

He's ex-army and has his CDL... He's been talking with one of his buddies that is in the Army National Guard, and I think he said he wants to do aviation?

To be 100% honest -- I confess I don't care what he does, as long as he gets a job.. and soon!

My friend, like I said, is now Air National Guard, and is repairs missile guidance systems in fighter planes. He was 100% trained for this by the Guard, no previous knowledge (I think he went to college for a semester or two but not enough for it to affect what path he chose).

I will be wishing your DH tons of luck no matter what he decides. I just wanted to put the story out there, since the Guard has done so much good for my friend and he is genuinely happy and financially successful now :)

[girlwonder]

Congratulations, Janeen! I'm late to the bandwagon. Too busy...

[Janeen]

I confess that I logged on at work just to say how DISGUSTED I am with my sister and mother right now but then people started walking around too much so I said screw this I'm going home to post it. :laugh:

I confess there's a big time vent coming your way:

My sister sent me a text while I was at work and here was the conversation

Her - "Congratulations and prayers for a quick and uneventful nine months...ending with a healthy baby BOY!"

Me - "Why a BOY?" (knowing dam good and well why she said that)

Her - "Because mom told me the girl name :-/" (Girl name being Denaysia June and I'm irritated at this point)

Me - "Whatever. It has been that name for a long time now and if we have a girl I will be sure and tell her how much her family hates her name."

Her - "Cuz we know we're white. I talked mom out of naming you a f***ered up name and I'm just trying to do the same for my niece" (I'm pretty pissed off and furious now)

Me - "Okay well you can tell her she has a black, non white name then because I certainly won't!"

OMG WTF!?!?!?!?! I am sooooooooooo mad at them I could eat their heads right about now. I wanted to tell her "White? More like redneck" but I refrained. I should just be over it by now because they have given me grief about this name for quite a few years at the very least. But, I could SO see them saying something to her about her "black name" when she gets older. And she acts like my mom JUST told her the name??? She has known the name!!! Stupid, stupid, stupid! It really needs to end because it pisses me off to no end and it's not going to change what I name my daughter.

That's it, this is getting posted in the venting section too! :mad: :hot:

[3andMe]

That really bites, Janeen. I have found that no matter what the name is, people will say things about it before the baby is born. If you don't tell them until afterward, then they tend to be more quiet, because there's no changing it at that point. I hope your sister and your mom can hold their tongues in the future, particularly around your child. If not, hopefully they won't be around too much. I would be really upset in your shoes.

[WillowSpy]

Wow Janeen.... I really want to hug you... and sadly, I know how you feel. My mom and sister have (in the past) made really disgusting comments about the fact that my children will be biracial. Thankfully, they are smart enough to not DARE say anything since I announce my pregnancy or they know they won't ever meet the baby.

I am so sorry that you're dealing with this. I hope that you can somehow make your point very clear so that they either accept the name Denaysia or get the heck out of her life. :hugs:

[Janeen]

The funny thing is, THIS sister didn't have an issue with me dating a black man right before I met DH. My other sister on the other hand said my father would be rolling over in his grave had he not been cremated. And the sister who said that, hasn't said a word about the name. Ugh, let me repeat...just stupid.

[Janeen]

I confess that it makes me nervous when people PM me and I don't recall ever seeing their name, anywhere on here. :laugh:

[WillowSpy]

LOL you have secret admirers!

[Gwenn]

Ashley, my DH joined the National Guard after he lost his job. He is also ex-army, and it was something he has been wanting to do for a long time. He loves doing it. It is not bringing in full time money, but he did get a sign-on bonus that really helped us out while I was off work this summer. He is looking at ways to get on with them full time, but it may take a few months.

Janeen, I am SOOOO sorry. My grandmother actually got mad at my father for naming me Amanda because she thought it was a "black" name (huh?) and my father is still bitter about that. He's been telling me I could name my kids whatever I want for at least 25 years now.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

Janeen!!! AAH! I would be sooooo friggin mad! I would say "HEY, you had your chance to name your kids, I will have MINE! People are lucky they never said anything about my kids' names! I'd tell them where to shove it too!

LOL at the PMs!
I confess It always scares me when a PM just pops up on my screen when i'm not expecting it when I refresh. I always jump a little. LOL

LOL when I first saw that picture I so thought "Maaaan, she's about to take a chunk outta her sister!" :laugh:

[elmobo-n-lexi]

haha and those teeth HURT like the ****ens too! She seriously COULD take a chunk now that she has her top teeth too. PHEW i'm scared of those puppies!

[elmobo-n-lexi]

haha it says d!ckens. LOL

[Janeen]

Just type uh, wenisens next time. :lol:

[elmobo-n-lexi]

WENISENS?? LOL what the crap is that??

[Janeen]

Well ya see, sometimes I say wenis when referring to a penis. LOL...this chat line I go to, you can't even type penis so I started typing wenis instead!

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I am so dumb. Seriously. WTF.

[Janeen]

:lol: Well I'm sure it's not every day that you hear the word wenis instead of d!ck or penis! :lol:

[WillowSpy]

Wenis! I like it...

And I confess, I always thought "what the d!ckens" had to do with the author, not the penis... woohoo for being blonde.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

hahahahaha I did too willow!! I think I still do! :shocker:

[Janeen]

I confess I've been drinking a lot more water and milk lately.

[Janeen]

The only reason I went to an anatomy substitute was because it blocked out the word d!ck when she typed it. I actually have no idea what it refers to. :laugh:

[WillowSpy]

I confess, I am mulling changing my username to Willow Spy. Because it sounds cooler... and because it will make me laugh every time I log on. Should I do it?

:hooray:

[WillowSpy]

For the first...forever that you were posting, I ALWAYS thought it was willowspy until someone pointed it out to me

Exactly! I will always remember that day... you said I was Willow Spy and Lydia called you out on it and then she called me Ms. Spy for a few days, in gest. I feel like that backstory makes it an awesome username, even if it will only make sense to the Seculars.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

haha do it! It'll be a secular tribute! And awesome name all in one! :laugh:

[Ky'sMom]

You ladies are so funny with your d!ckens lol!!!

And Janeen I like the name Denaysia, don't know if it's because I'm black or not though lol. But on a side note, I always got teased because I have a "white" name, both my brother and I, who's name is Adrian. We also talked "white" so I guess we are white with some wicked tans and extra curly hair!

Erin

[shutterbird]

Confession Edited.

I feel better now. :)

[AmeriBrit]

I confess y'all are funny. I'd like to change my name, too, so I won't just be another Ashley. When I was in high school, I wanted to be named Jane like Jane Eyre. LOL. I think I'd change my name to Fiona or something cool like that.

[Janeen]

I confess that my HCG DID double!!! :hooray:

From 31 to 78!!!!

[elmobo-n-lexi]

JANEEEEEEEN!!!! :hooray:
I'm doing a happy dance!!!!
That must feel SOOOOO good huh?????

Why yes, yes it does actually! :laugh:

It appears that they didn't test for progesterone this time though. I emailed her back asking about it because it was only 7.8 on Monday.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I wonder why they didn't test the progesterone??? Do you have issues with your progesterone?

[Janeen]

I wonder why they didn't test the progesterone??? Do you have issues with your progesterone?

:dunno: :laugh:

7.8 seemed low to me but I was only 12DPIUI when that number was acquired?

[elmobo-n-lexi]

Oh geez. I have no friggin clue what those numbers are supposed to look like! AAH! I feel dumb!

[3andMe]

I confess that my HCG DID double!!! :hooray:

From 31 to 78!!!!

YAYYYYY!

[Janeen]

This is what the Kaiser site says for progesterone levels during pregnancy...

1st trimester: 9–47 ng/mL

2nd trimester: 17–147 ng/mL

3rd trimester: 55–200 ng/mL

True story lol

:silly: So, do they get back to you pretty quickly when you email them???

[Janeen]

:silly: So, do they get back to you pretty quickly when you email them???

Usually they are very good about it. Yesterday was the only time I didn't get same day results and the nurse said they didn't even get the results from the lab until 8:30pm.

[Janeen]

She did specifically say that rise was "excellent" though. :D

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I would have to completely agree! Because I have an expert opinion and all. :eyeroll::laugh:

[Janeen]

Yeah and because you know EXACTLY what all of those numbers mean and everything. :laugh:

What can I say? I'm awesome! :laugh: So did you tell your DH yet???

[Janeen]

What can I say? I'm awesome! :laugh: So did you tell your DH yet???

Well of course! He sends me a good morning email every day when he gets to work and this one included "Did you get the results yet!?!?!" LOL

He replied with "F***ing Awesome!!! You Rock Mother Raygor!!!" :wub:

[elmobo-n-lexi]

AWWW!!! I love your husband!
You guys are just like us. DH and I email back and forth ALL day from his work! LOL. It's a wonder how he gets anything done! I can't stand not talking to him all day! LOL

[Janeen]

Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaame here but with Jimi, well he's a government worker during the day so we KNOW he doesn't get anything done!! :lol:

My mom even messes with him and tells him he gets paid to surf the net.

But actually, his numbers are really really good and if it weren't for not having any vacation time banked, he would have been promoted a long time ago.

[Janeen]

Okay, this is in response to me questioning the progesterone levels :)


Janeen,
I've sent the reports to Dr Faber.
I think he will feel that the levels are ok.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

Okay, this is in response to me questioning the progesterone levels :)

:cabbage::hooray::hooray:
Wonderful news!!! WONDERFUL!!

[Janeen]

I guess I have to go to work now. Maybe I will actually get something done. Yeah right, I haven't gotten crapola done since I found out on Monday. :laugh:

[Janeen]

I confess that Jimi just emailed me this picture and I adore it. Mermaids are special to us...our first meditation together involved a mermaid and the Goddess Yemeya.

We also talked "white" so I guess we are white with some wicked tans and extra curly hair!

Erin

OK, being honest here - I think Denaysia does sound "black", but you know what? It's not my baby! Parents get exclusive naming rights and all other people should just keep their mouths shut! I still get pissed off at an aunt and uncle that tell me my son sounds like a law firm name (Liam Thomas Connor Y.) Whatever. I'd tell your sister that if she insists on being negative about her niece's name, she can do so from afar cause she won't be seeing her in person much. :pokey:


Why yes, yes it does actually! :laugh:

It appears that they didn't test for progesterone this time though. I emailed her back asking about it because it was only 7.8 on Monday.

Just from personal experience, I think that's low. When I miscarried my first my prog was only 8, and doc was rather concerned. For the next 2-3 cycles she was testing my prog level at 7 DPO and they were always low. I often wonder if my failure to make enough of it had anything to do with my miscarriage. I was on progesterone supplements with Liam for the first 10-12 weeks or so.

[sunrider]

It was a black girl in school who had the name, my point is...wtf does it matter? lol, I think it's pretty whether it's a white or black girl being named it.

Miscarriage is why I'm concerned about the progesterone. I know if it's too low, it leads to miscarriage. I find myself wondering if progesterone suppositories would do any good at this stage. When the doc emails me to give me his run down of the results I will probably ask him.

[Janeen]

OMGWTFBBQ. All I remember is wenis.

WENIS FOR EVERYONE! :winks:

[WillowSpy]

Janeen... that jump is AWESOME!!! YAY! Grow baby, grow!

And yeah... I PMed MarchMommy to change my username :laugh: I shall be Willow Spy soon enough! Muah ha ha :)

[stephmama]

Yeah, I didn't want to scare you or anything, but too low prog can cause a m/c. Thankfully I didn't have to do suppositories - mine were yellow capsules taken orally. Although I've done suppositories in the past (when you're so nauseous with a migraine, sometimes it's the best way to get compazine into your system), doing them daily for weeks would get old.

I just might. I was thinking of something that reminds me of my childhood and I'm all about recreating my childhood these days...I dunno why...but I find myself decorating the home in styles that remind me of my childhood homes and sort of regressing to that time, spending more time outdoors in places that remind me of being a kid.

[sunrider]

I confess I have lived in KC for over 5 years now, and just last night picked up a bottle of Shatto's Rootbeer milk - because of Ashley who has lived here less than 6 months and Agatha who just came for a weekend visit.

Yay! I just saw that in the cosleeping thread and was going to comment there - but here is better!

[Janeen]

I confess that I had a very enlightening moment today. I decided that if there was such a thing as a devil, it would look like a big fat juicy red tomato.

I confess that I made this decision as I was picking the tomatoes off of my Chicken Ranchero Soft Taco that Jimi specifically said NO TOMATOES for when he ordered it from Taco Bell.

:P

[shutterbird]

I confess I missed the story behind Willow Spy. :(

[WillowSpy]

I confess that when my dog busts out the smile, I go :wub: and do whatever she wants.

I confess that I'm really anxious/uncomfortable with a baby shower I'm going to on Saturday. It's being thrown by the "queen bees" and I have a bad feeling it will be all about alcohol and gossiping, and not about my friend who is the one being "showered".


I confess I missed the story behind Willow Spy. :(

Forgive the sketchy summary but it was something along the lines of:

Elmobo apparently always thought my original username was WillowSpy and in a confessions post she referred to me as that. And we all had a good laugh, and everyone said that WillowSpy was a cool name. And I think it was Lydia who called me Ms. Spy for a few days. Anyhow, I was in one of those "I have to change something" moods yesterday so I decided to make it permanent :)

It must have been when you were away visiting family?

[Ky'sMom]

I confess I originally thought your original user was Willo Wispy and I kept wondering what a willo-wispy was....some sort of tree...a flower I've never seen.

I'm sooooo slow sometimes. I didn't get it until the conversation you had about WillowSpy lol!

Erin

[heartmyboyz]

I confess I originally thought your original user was Willo Wispy and I kept wondering what a willo-wispy was
Oh it didn't say that. :shame: whoops.

Oh and congrats where they are due. I just scanned some pages but didn't feel like quoting eveyone. :winks:

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I am good at confusing people. It's in my nature. I confuse myself. -- Oh, I confess.

[elmobo-n-lexi]

I confess Earlier I was feeding Alexis and I wasn't shoveling quick enough, and she was whining during EVERY single bite. So I said, "geez Alexis, that whining drives me mad!" And Elizabeth said, "Well, if it drives you mad, you should've never had CHILDREN MOM!".
:shocker:

[WillowSpy]

"Well, if it drives you mad, you should've never had CHILDREN MOM!".
:shocker:

LOL!!!!!

I confess the old username was willowispy which was meant like.. willow'wisp -y. Sort of like "like a will'o'the'wisp". Yea, too confusing. Being a spy is way cooler.

ROFL, that is too cute!!!

Elle whines/grunts/screams after every single bite if I don't shovel like a mad woman when I'm feeding her. She doesn't do it if she feeds herself and most of the time. I confess I don't feel like hearing the noise so I just dump food in front of her and let her go at it and let the dog eat up her mess. I know that sounds gross but I was pretty happy when I discovered he would eat her leftovers so I wouldn't have to try to sweep up chunky oatmeal off the floor, a quick wipe with the wet mop after all the licking and that was that!

Erin

[Gwenn]

I confess that is just one of the many reasons I love my dogs. I never have to clean food off the floor!

I confess my day SUCKED at work today.

[WillowSpy]

I confess my day SUCKED at work today.

:hugs:

[WillowSpy]

I confess that I want to know if Agatha has had sex yet recently.

:shame: We tried? It sucked, and I actually cried, not because it was that bad but because I was just so disappointed. We're trying again this weekend. I refuse to give up. It's been since the end of June :cry:

[Janeen]

:shame: We tried? It sucked, and I actually cried, not because it was that bad but because I was just so disappointed. We're trying again this weekend. I refuse to give up. It's been since the end of June :cry:

We've only done it once since the IUI two weeks ago.

I was laying in bed night before last and told Jimi "We need to have sex real soon honey", he grabbed my hand said "Please?" :laugh:

My only concern is that I feel a bit ummm, bloated for lack of a better word? And a bit crampy. I keep wondering if sex will make it worse or better.

ROFL, that is too cute!!!

Elle whines/grunts/screams after every single bite if I don't shovel like a mad woman when I'm feeding her. She doesn't do it if she feeds herself and most of the time. I confess I don't feel like hearing the noise so I just dump food in front of her and let her go at it and let the dog eat up her mess. I know that sounds gross but I was pretty happy when I discovered he would eat her leftovers so I wouldn't have to try to sweep up chunky oatmeal off the floor, a quick wipe with the wet mop after all the licking and that was that!

Erin

Seriously Erin, isn't it great? I almost never clean the floor under the highchair as my handy dandy Model K-9 vacuum cleaner both sweeps and mops for me! She'd clean the baby off too, if I let her. Every kid should have a dog. Tredhed found an article in the magazine Wonder Time shortly after we got pregnant. It had like 5 reasons why little kids should have a dog - awesome article.


I confess that I'm really anxious/uncomfortable with a baby shower I'm going to on Saturday. It's being thrown by the "queen bees" and I have a bad feeling it will be all about alcohol and gossiping, and not about my friend who is the one being "showered".

I confess that irritates me to no end, and I don't even know the people. There was a lot of unnecessary drama around my own baby shower and I have to admit it has rather tainted it. It should be an occasion to remember and instead there are aspects of mine that I would really just rather forget.

I would hope the Queen Bees are smart enough to offer something non-alcoholic at the shower - both for the Momma of the hour and any pregnant guests (LIKE YOU!!!). I went to a wonderful wine & cheese baby shower when I was pregnant and the host (who was also pregnant) offered a huge variety of sparkling ciders. No exaggeration, 3 pregnant women finished off more bottles of sparkling cider than about 11 NOT pregnant women did wine.

All I can say is keep an eye out for your friend and offer her support as needed. Even if you hang out and talk about your bellies and babies. Do what you can to make it special for her, ya know? :wub:

Good call, I will. I feel bad for assuming the worst of this particular clique of women, but on the other hand that's the only side they've ever shown in the two months I've lived here. I'm so sorry your own baby shower descended into the drama pit :( I am probably not having one, and honestly, I am all the happier for that thought.

I confess DH keeps calling Audrianna a spoiled brat, and its really pissing me off.

That would really upset me. Can you talk to him about it? She deserves to have her needs met and she only has limited communication skills now. It's not like your dh is showing a lot of maturity, by resorting to name-calling.

I think sometimes people may not understand how hard it is to be a baby and what you can expect from them.

Ms. Spy, good luck this weekend!

Gwennero, what particular type of science do you practice? I'm sorry if I missed this before.

Thank you for the luck, Lydia! I am back, with a full report :) (it's really not that interesting, so feel free to skip LOL).

THANKFULLY, the location apparently got changed from one of the Queen Bee's houses to another office lady's house... and she's pregnant with kiddo #3 so she put the kibosh on alcohol, etc. It was a very weird baby shower. The mom-to-be, her sisters, MIL, and a few of us "regular girls" all hung out in the living room and had a good time. The queen bees spent the whole party in the kitchen, drinking and laughing really loud, which was sort of awkward because they were the ones "organizing". They came into the living room to run the games portion, and that was the worst part of the party because a lot of the games (and their comments) seemed a little demeaning to the mom-to-be. I'm glad I went though, because like Sunrider said, my friend need me. And she loved my little breastfeeding gift bag!

Hope everyone's weekends are going well!

[daylilies]

I confess hi :hi: hope my new name won't mess anyone up. I'll keep the avatar for a little bit, but plan on changing it to a day lily at some point :)

Well, I'm glad the shower was better than expected, but I must confess, THIS


:shame: We tried? It sucked, and I actually cried, not because it was that bad but because I was just so disappointed. We're trying again this weekend. I refuse to give up. It's been since the end of June :cry:

is why I was saying good luck! :laugh:

I confess that dbf does this all the time and it pisses me off to no end. It's a rip on my parenting since I do it all and it's offensive to the awesome personalities of our children.
Jerks. :hugs:
I confess that recent happenings involving one or our lovely apa ladies and her lying, cheating husband in drudging up a lot of feelings for me and making me second guess my choices.
I confess that sometimes I like cold, rainy days because I don't feel any obligation to go out and do something.

I confess during my constant lurking in here I came across the book suggestion thread. Just picked up In Defense of Food at the library today and so far I'm loving it! Haven't made it all the way through the foreward, but still....

I confess I plan on reading a number of others that totally piqued my interest in that thread!

I confess that I was just thinking today about how I had better get used to not having so many lazy days because I know when baby comes and is a bit older, I would feel so guilty if I cooped them up. Like today, I haven't even taken a frickin shower and I just woke up from a three hour nap. I haven't stepped foot outside of the house.

There goes that overtime I was going to work. Oh well, there's always tomorow right? :laugh:

[Luna]

I confess it's been awhile since i've been in this thread.



I confess Earlier I was feeding Alexis and I wasn't shoveling quick enough, and she was whining during EVERY single bite. So I said, "geez Alexis, that whining drives me mad!" And Elizabeth said, "Well, if it drives you mad, you should've never had CHILDREN MOM!".
:shocker:

*gasp* that's hilarious!!


I confess I am now .... The Willow Spy!

Love it! And I live Kate's new name too!


I confess I have lived in KC for over 5 years now, and just last night picked up a bottle of Shatto's Rootbeer milk - because of Ashley who has lived here less than 6 months and Agatha who just came for a weekend visit.

It is awesome!!!


I also confess I'm sad there are people here in KC and I keep MISSING YOU PEOPLE! :pokey: We need to plan a meetup. Unless you no love me. And then it's fine. :winks:

[girlwonder]

I confess that I am not as smart as I once thought I was.

I also confess there's a lot of prayin' in TTC that is a little :po:. . .not that I'm necessarily against a few thoughts and prayers here and there. . . .but geeeeeeze.

Oh thank you guys, I really feel the love! I feel like a new person already. LOL

I confess I should read more...but when I have down time I'd rather zone out in front of the computer...

Yeah, i've been stalking those threads, and I must say, old feelings come flooding back. No matter how healthy everything is between us now, those feelings never completely go away. And I get teary eyed thinking of the pain of it all.......

[daylilies]

I confess it cracks me up every time I see elmobo-and-lexi's sig....poor Elizabeth just looks so innocent and unsuspecting and Lexi is about to bite her head off. LOL

[Janeen]

I confess that DH and I are heading out to walk to the store and get a package of green chili beef and bean frozen burritos.

I confess that this is my dinner choice for the night. :laugh:

[AmeriBrit]

I confess I don't go in the TTC room lately as it seems to annoy me. LOL. A lot.

[The10Eels]

I confess that lately I have not been in the mood to DTD... So this morning when the mood struck, I impatiently waited for Audrianna to take her nap so I could surprise DH.

I confess once she was asleep, and in her crib, I got to the bedroom and no longer felt like it..

I confess I need a hug. I'm pretty sure I need to go on anti-depressants but I'm too scared that it might hurt my chances for adoption and other stuff later.

I confess I have been thinking about death ALOT today... Its no fun to do while pregnant...

I confess I am kinda peeved that DH went out on the boat with his buddies while I am sitting here doing nothing - leaving me more time to think...

I hate thinking about death. It's my biggest fear, and it might slowly drive me insane if I think about it for too long. That sucks you couldn't have gone with DH!!

[daylilies]

And, I confess I joined a new gym today. It's a lot more expensive than my old one but they have a lot more to offer. I've been to the weight loss room for support but it's kind of quiet. Can you guys help me? I'm about 20 lbs. overweight and I've been asking about 6 times over the last year if I'm pregnant (or not really asked, most times, but just congratulated, without asking) So can you guys like, get on my case? I need help.

ClarisseMarie (Her name is Heather)'s little girl -- She's one of the Oct DD ladies

I confess Audrianna was just playing with DH's box of cheezits and I didn't realize it was open, as she was shaking it all over the place. She dumped a good 2 handfuls of crackers all over DH's side of the bed..

I confess I am letting her eat them, and am contemplating just leaving whatever she doesn't eat.. lol

I confess when the girls stay at my mom's for the night, the first thing to happen is all the clothes come off!
I confess since being with DH we've always slept naked, and did even up until about a year and a half ago, but now elmobo's too big. :ohno:
I confess I think clothes in your own home should be against the law!

[elmobo-n-lexi]

Janeen, I'm bad, I only watch college football (for OSU) and only watch pro when it gets to the finals, unless someone's in it that I like!

[DucksLikeRain]

I confess I have dried 10 pounds of nectarines and another 10 pounds of nectarine leather since yesterday. I also confess I have yet to spell "nectarine" correctly the first time. Seriously. Every time I type it I have to erase and redo because it comes out "nectRaine" :eyeroll:

I confess Audrianna tripped and fell. I thought she was going to smack her face on the corner of the banister by the stairs.. instead she faceplanted on the wooden floor..

She busted her lip open, and was bleeding all over the place. I was so scared I was crying... and DH wasn't here.. so Im making him feel bad!

Or at least completely optional without anyone frowning down on you because of it!

I confess I slept naked on Friday night with S in my bed. She's delightful to sleep with. More delightful to sleep naked next to than John-he can't keep his hands to himself :pokey:

[Janeen]

I confess that I am really craving a cigarette but have refrained from buying any.

I confess that I just keep telling myself "Move on, there's a baby in you. The thoughts and cravings will pass. DO, NOT, BUY, SMOKES."

Janeen, you can do it!!! Seriously, you can! I was always a smoker! I quit cold turkey all four times I got pregnant. I know it's not easy, but it sure can be done! Just remember, that baby's inhaling too. Well, I don't really know if that's the truth, but picture it, down in the pit of your womb is a baby sucking on a cigarette! LOL Ok. that was way dramatic and probably not even close to the truth!

But in all seriousness, you can do it!!! I have total faith!

Totally know the nighttime groping. For me it's worse when I'm naked-it's like some subliminal switch is flipped in Jack's head and he goes all caveman in the bed in his sleep. At least Scharae is indiscriminate and titty-twists the same no matter what I'm wearing-or not wearing. OUCH!
