You may think I am crazy but.........................

[newmami]

Men are such babies when it comes to being sick, it is hillarious!!

Ok so we are having this MAJOR credit audit in April... the person in charge is FREAKING OUT because our credit files are a mess!! she complains that no ones does anything and that she has to do everything (whateva!) but she doesn't allow anyone to do anything (he he, like we were with school projects)... I told her several times she enables this other people's stupidity by doing that, but she doesn't care... OK so stop complaining, right? People don't do things because you don't allow them to!!

Anyways, she is stressed and in a terrible mood, and I am so bad I am secretly enjoying her being like that!! she is one that makes work a living hell!!! treats people like crap and then she dares telling me I have to work on my people skills!!!....... nothing like being an oblivion!!!

[sarahlynn]

mmmm fast food italian sounds so cool..we dont haev one of those here.

i had a ham and cheese samich and mac & cheese microwave crap thingy..tryin to save on money so i am limiting my out to lunches.. :(

[sarahlynn]

can i cry for a second :cry:

i think i am canceling our trip to minneapolis..it sucks i really want to go .. i have $400 saved right now and when ithink of spending on the trip i keep talking myself out of it..we have so much we want to do around the house this summer..one major thing being planting new grass..putting a railing on the front porch, planting bushes and doing landscapeing..the peopel before us just mutilated the poor yard..they had like 4 big dogs they did not take care of and they ruined it..1/4 of the yard is grass the other 3/4 is weeds..i wants a nice green yard for lucea and cy

but on the other hand DH just dropped $5oo on a stupid trip back home and said it was his time to splurge..so i want to give the kids a fun trip to

UGH

the train tickets for me and cy/lucea would be around $200 total...my grandma is going along and she always helps with hotel..so i would jsut have food and tickets to go into places..so i could do it for around $450..doesnt seem back for a mini family vacation..ugh ijust need to convince myself i deserve it

[newmami]

Sarah, you and the kids NEED the vacation!!! yes the nice yard is nice to have, but they will ALWAYS remember the trip to MN with Mom and Grandma!!!

GO TO MINNEAPOLIS!! you would have enough time to save for the yard!!

[Bean]

I had a bowl of pasta and TWO bowls of apple cinnamon Cheerios for dinner. I am stuffed, I feel ill.

[rhiannasmoms43]

Apple cinnamon cheerios remind me of Apple Jacks...does anyone remember them?
They were soooooo gooooood.

[sarahlynn]

i like apple jacks better than appel cinnamon cheerios..i do like honey nut cheerios..


this weekend is going to be close to 50 degrees..i cant wait..i think we are going to take the kids to the zoo..maybe to the community center swimming..we all went 2 weeks ago and lucea swam for over an hour..

[Bells614]

Go Sarah!!! The trip will give you memories for a lifetime...grass????

I'm eating a late lunch, salad with Thousand Island dressing, chickpeas, mushrooms and a sliced up boiled egg. MMMMM...just needs some avacado! :)

So my schoo project partner never emailed me back! What the hell!!! I have no problems doing the entire thing, but he is more anal retentive than me! URGH!

[haydensmom]

I wish that I really liked salads, but I don't really. I could never eat that as a meal more than once a week, if that! It would make my weight loss so much easier, but I need substance.

[Bells614]

You know Jess, I can't do just salad...that is why I throw so much other stuff on. The chickpeas and egg have protein, so that helps. There is so much other stuff, I run out of the lettuce and eat just the toppings for the last 1/4 of the plate!

[sarahlynn]

i dont work well in teams...i do much better on my own..but with each of my classes they assign teams and team assignments..BLAH

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
did i have a right to be pissy

so last night was a flop..i shaved my legs was all excited for DH to get home..i even stayed up till 11:00 way past my bedtime..i am layin in bed watchin tv..i notice his truck pull up..so i wait and wait and wait he doesnt come upstairs..hmm i go downstairs and he is playing x-box...i walk past him..he says whatcha doing..i say "going online to find myself a man who wants something to do with me" so i go online check my mail (darn it no men in there) and head back to bed..so being the dumb arse he is he than after my snide comment jumps in the shower and climbs into bed all thinkin he is gettin lucky.. :? i was just pissy (maybe to much) but honestly if i come AFTER the x.box than to bad you dont need to get lucky..he keeps saying I DIDNT KNOW YOU WERE AWAKE..blah blah if you came to bed once in awhile instead of playin x-box and sleepingon the couch you would have a clue

[Bells614]

HA! Sorry.

I can relate, so I can laugh. DH has a "war game" on the computer. Drives me batty!

Sarah, what school do you go to?

Amanda's pedipeds just got here. OMG! They are so dang cute!!!!

[Bean]

I like Apple Jacks better than apple cinnamon Cheerios, too. I got them for Lola, though, I thought they'd be healthier. :roll: Still loaded with sugar.

[rhiannasmoms43]

What? You can still get them? I haven't seen them up here or over 20 years!

[Bean]

They still have them! At least in the states, they do.

[sarahlynn]

i go to the university of phoenix online...i should be done in august..FINALLY :lol:

[rhiannasmoms43]

...mmmmmm.....apple jacks...

[sarahlynn]

whats for supper tonight....

i want to try a chicken alfredo lasagna but that would mean going to the store

[chellebelle32]

This morning I threw some chicken, cream of mushroom soup, cream of chicken soup, & cheddar soup in the crockpot to cook all day. I can't wait to see how it turns out. I will probably fix potatoes or some other vegetable to go with it.

Michelle

[DIVADLX]

You girls are making me hungry!

Sarah, my DH SOOO wouldn't have gotten any nookie either! That would make me so mad!

I LOVE salad. However, I was at lunch with my mother today at a Teriyaki place, and she spotted a salad on there. She pointed it out. JUST when I had beaten the word "oriental" out of my mother's vocabulary, there it is - "oriental dressing." Now she's going to use that as an excuse. :roll:

However, my salad would be without the chickpeas. Nothing gives me gas as badly as chickpeas. And I love them so dearly.

[haydensmom]

Michelle, your dinner sounds great! How did it turn out?

Sarah, I would totally be peeved! Dh and I would be having a talk! Seriously!

[MarchMommy]

yea sarah, i totally dont blame you for not giving him any.... :D

i dont have anything to say right now really....hmmm....thats a shocker...

[tralynne75]

Julie, it sounds like we need to send you some apple jacks. When you wrote do you remember them, i thought yeah I just had a bowl. I bought these new cereals one is Life with choc. and the other is Honey and Oats Nature Valley. I haven't tried the Life yet but I like the Honey and Oats. I have been craving them all day today. It's not like they are great or anything. I am sooo weird! LOL!!

Katie had her 9 month appt today. She is healthy and perfect. The dr actually said that. He hugged me telling me how great Katie is and how blessed I am. He said that she is one of the healthest kids he has seen in awhile so I am doing everything right. It was nice to get told I was doing a great job but he just kept on and on until I was crept out. He did say to stop feeding her baby food and I need her in her own room. He is all about habits. He actually would not allow his wife to BF in bed becaus he didnt want his kids to get use to being in their bed. They were not even allowed in his room. :shock:

[DIVADLX]

Good work tracy! And if you don't want her out of your room, don't feel like you have to follow his advice. Its opinion and just that.

I feel like such pooh...

[haydensmom]

Why do you feel like pooh, Jenn? Btw, I've always wondered if you prefer Jen or Jenn... I think I go back and forth in the spelling because I'm not sure. :lol:

Tracy, if you don't feel comfortable with stopping baby food, etc, then don't do it yet! I agree that it's his opinion and apparently he's a nazi about the bedroom. :shock:

Hayden has started going after my cat... :lol: I feel so bad for Meko - he's just like, wtheck??

[chellebelle32]

The chicken was really good and very tender. I fixed some mashed potatoes and used the sauce as a gravy. Even my husband really liked it. I got a new crockpot that has 4 cook settings. When the cook time is up it switches to warm. I know it's a silly thing to be so excited about, but I love to use my crock pot.

Michelle

[haydensmom]

I'm glad it was good, Michelle! I need to use our crockpot more often! Maybe I'll make a recipe in there today. It'd be nice to put it in and not worry about it. How long did you cook yours?

[chellebelle32]

I set it for 6 hours. Then it automatically went to warm after 6 hours. I work 9.5 hour days, so it's nice to come home and have dinner pretty much cooked. I made my recipe for wendy's chili in it over the weekend. That is what I am having for lunches this week. I will try to find some of my recipes and share if you would like.

Michelle

[Bells614]

Good Job Tracy!!!!

I think we are finally seeing some improvement in this cold Amanda and I have....it's about time, we've had it almost 3 weeks now.

Remember my group project for school? My teacher decided to cancel it last night! YIPPEE!!!! It's a long story, but we don't have to do it now and I'm happy!

We lowered Amanda's crib all the way last night. She is all about standing now, so it was long overdue. I can barely get her in an out now (it doesn't have a drop down side) so I think we will be making me a step! If I could only grow a few inches!!!

[haydensmom]

That would be AWESOME!

Kelly, I'm glad you and Amanda are feeling better! Also, WAHOO for getting your project canceled! That's great!!!

[MarchMommy]

Tracy, im glad that Katie is doing well. she is such a little cutie!!!!

[sarahlynn]

Tracy that is wonderful your appt went well...sounds like a wonderful baby and mama...

Wednesday is our appt again with the ear doc, see if they are cleared of fluid..and i have officially decided NO MORE antibiotics..that is it..now i need to stand my ground..5 antibiotics . one being three horrible shots is all me/her can handle..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

well DH got home about 8:00 last night (early) hung out with me and the kids..cy put on a rock concert in his room for all of us..Lucea loved it..and ya know what song he sang 867-5309...ye is so 80's its sad..but than he promptly went to AKON..i think thast the name.the song that says.."i'll be the papa you can be the mom" he is so weird..

Cy sounds like such a cool kid :D And I would be so excited to be at the dance and watch....kids are so freakin cute!!!

That stinks about DH, I have the opposite problem, if it has been more than 24 hours since the deed my DH is all over me, it drives me nuts. :? But then at the same time if he doesn't show interest after a few days I start feeling depressed, Okay I sound like a crazy woman.

[newmami]

Yay Tracey and Katie for a good appointment!! don't worry too much about what the Dr says. MOM KNOWS BEST!!!

Jenn, how come you are feeling blue today??? anything we can do to cheer you up????

Sorry Sarah about the antibiotics for Lulu, I don't blame you for saying NO MORE!! I would do the same!! And about DH, what is it with men and videogames???? I don't have that problem, with DH sex will ALWAYS come first, but he plants his butt in the TV after work, and play videogames!! :roll:

I wish I knew how to use a crockpot, no more cooking for me after work!! I need to get me a book and learn how to use that thing!!!

So I actually have some work to do today!! feels weird :lol:

Ok, I am having a moral dilemma. The regular daycare lady for Dani has been out for 3 weeks (her mom is sick) so she arranged for Dani to go to another family daycare. Dani cries when we get there, but once I am gone she is a happy camper! The lady takes care of 2 girls plus her DD, so she is very involved and plays with them a lot!! no TV, lots of outside activities, drawing, clay, play-doh, dancing, singing, learning letters, etc. I love that she does all this things, and I have noticed a difference in Dani, she is very curious and is talking more!

Well, I have been wanting to change daycares for a while, I am keeping Dani with me during maternity leave, and then I want both of them to go to the same place... so would it be too tacky and low if I ask this temporary lady to take care of my girls??? I mean, the original daycare person introduce me to her, so I don't want it to sound like back stabbing, but I do like the way Dani spends her days in the new place (in the old one, they play for a while, but almost all afternoon they are on the highchairs playing by themselves, drawing or watching TV!!)

Thanks for the input!!!

[sarahlynn]

yeah i dont even care if we do it once a frickin week but it just becomiong so monotonous...i want that wild crazy 19 year old sex back :lol:

oh well...maybe my DH would be ok being swingers :lol:

[haydensmom]

Claudia, I totally think you should do what is best for your children! It sucks to be the person who switches to a friend, but if it's healthier, then it's healthier. Not pushing views on you, but I'm a Christian, and I believe you were introduced to this new lady for a reason! :wink: :D

[sarahlynn]

claudia you need to do what is best for those babies and they need to be where you feel most comfortable and happy and where they are happy..i say talk to her..se what she thinks..

my sister has her son at a daycare now that she is not totallyhappy with and she is so miserable about it..she knows he needs to be somwehre else but just doenst have the lady balls to make that change. :D my sister the pushover HA!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i wonder if DH would notice if i ran over the x-box with my car.. when he calls me today after sleeping ALLL morning i am going to say..oh i am just surfing through the personal ads hon..whatcha doin? see if that lights a fire under him..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

last night we went out to eat with my mom..PASTA YUMMM i had salmon spinich pasta ina cream sauce..cy had his usual spaghetti and lulu had spaghetti to ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

crock pop cooking is the best..i need to buy more to use in the crockpot..i love coming home and having a meal al ready and no mess with super

[MarchMommy]

sarah, maybe the x-box should mysteriously "lose a cord" or something!! :lol:

or you could bring it into the bed with YOU and ask him if it turns him on!!!


Claudia, i think you should do the right thing for your kidos. and be where they are happy!!!!

[chellebelle32]

Claudia, you really need to do what you feel is best. I am the same way with always worrying about what the other person will say, but I have to put Morgan's needs above my fears. We had a woman that I really liked at a daycare center, but when she started her own home daycare, she changed. They were watching too much TV and not doing any other activities. She had her friends coming over during working hours and was not paying attention to the kids.

Sarah, I'm sorry about the game system. My husband has a PS2. He doesnt' play it much though. His hangup is DVD's. He just bought The Highlander S7. I have spent maybe 1 hour total with him this week.

I have been eating the Quaker Weight Control oatmeal. It may have more fiber in it, but it sure doesn't stay with me as long as the regular oatmeal.

Morgan has now crossed over from being the child who gets hit and bit, to being the child who hits. It has only been one time so far, but it has made me feel so down. She went to bed Sunday night as my little girl, but woke up Monday morning as someone else. I hope it's just a change in the weather.

Michelle

[sarahlynn]

bring it into the bed with YOU and ask him if it turns him on!!!

I AM SO DOING THIS TONIGHT..i am going to put it under the covers on his side of the bed..with a note saying sorry you have been replaced :lol:


I have never heard of quaker weight control..but i eat oatmeal everyday so i might look into it..now if i wouldnt add 5 tbs of sugar to mine it might actually be healthy..


so what are thebig plans for everyone this weekend?

[newmami]

I believe you were introduced to this new lady for a reason!
Me too Jess!!!

He he bringing the xbox to bed Sarah!! I can totally see you doing that!!!

No big plans for the weekend, but we are SK free!!! I want to go to BRU and get the crib for Christi, and some diapers!!!

[sarahlynn]

aww crib shopping sounds fun..did you pick out a bedding set yet.. imay have missed which one you picked..

~~~~

my plan is set..take the x-box to bed and when he asks what i am doing i am tellng him i wanted to see just why he spends so much time ON the xbox and not ON me :lol:

~~~~

i want friday here so bad..

[without]

Sorry I have not been around much this week. I won't be able to be on much the rest of the week but wanted to drop a line to say.....


















I have a date!!!! Whaooo!!! James got off his rump and asked me out!!

[haydensmom]

Yay for a date, Pam! That's so neat! 'Bout time, too!

Sarah, you totally need to bring that thing to bed with you! And have a camera ready. :lol:

Claudia, have fun getting a crib! I can't wait to pick out stuff again!

I'm feeling so tense today. Everything is annoying me. Does anyone else ever have days like that? I just want to crawl in a hole. :roll: No reason, just do! Maybe I need to have a little alone time with me. It has been over seven months.

[Bells614]

Me time is good Jess!

Sarah, I so want to hear all about the XBox come tomorrow morning. I can totally relate, if it's not online poker, it's some supid war game he bought for the computer. :evil:

Go PAM!!!!!

So we just called on a house not too far from us. It's been on the market since August 2006. I noticed it when it was much warmer and I would walk with Amanda. They have dropped the price $35,000 and want to get it sold. It's 5 bedroom and in a newer subdivision (less than 15 years old). I fell in love with the house from the outside last summer, but figured it was always way too expensive. I'm torn. The realtor said it was a "little bit of a fixer, but not much." I don't mind fixing it up, I just don't have the time right now. But we desperately need more room. AHH!! We probably shouldn't even go to look at it, but I hate to pass up a REALLY good deal. We shall see. :roll: :wink:

[haydensmom]

Good luck on the house search, Kelly! 5 bedrooms would be awesome! We're stuck in an apartment right now and have decided to renew our lease for another year so we can save some money and pay off our credit cards. :roll:

I can't wait to get a house.

[tralynne75]

hehehe taking the xbox to bed is great. I want to hear what he does.
Oh i bet Cy was so cute dancing and singing, next time getit on tape for us. My Dh would love having an 80s kid, my DS thiks 80s are lame. LOL!!

Claudia, I would do what is best for the kids.

Jess, I have those days also. Matter of fact i think I am getting into a mood as we speak. DS is fretting DD....ggggrrrr!!!!

Kelly, I would look at the house. It may be the house of your dreams.

Jenn, i hope you are feeling better.

Yay Pam, i am glad he finally asked.

I bought Katie a pair of robeez the other day. They are pink with bunnies on them. I think they are last spring but oh well at least now we finally have a pair. I don't Katie cares toomuch about fashion yet. LOL!!

[Bells614]

We are going to look at it in an hour or two. The listing realtor said she had a meeting, but if we were flexible, she would love to get us in to see it this evening. We will see. Our credit cards are paid off, so that is not a worry. We don't have a ton in savings, but my entire paycheck goes there every other week, so that isn't too much of an issue. I just don't know. It would be about 50% more than we are paying right now. We shall see. As DH said, if we really, really like it, we could make a low ball offer and see what they counter. It really isn't a concern of another buyer coming along..soo much of a buyers market right now.

I would love that much room! We are in a TINY 2 bedroom right now. WOW! I don't even know what I would do with all that space! Trying not to get excited, but we shall see.


I just got Amanda's Pedipeds yesterday. So far I LOVE them. Better than the robeez even. I find them easier to put on. But the babies don't care. Style??? HA!

[tralynne75]

So did you like the house??? I wish I could find one for us, it seems there are so few houses in Pilot for sale.

[MarchMommy]

Sarah, how did bunking down with the X-box go???

Pam...YAY for the date....you better tell us how it goes.

Kelly good luck with the house!!

[sarahlynn]

the brat got home early before i could even get the darn x-box...grrrrrrrrrrr he foiled my plan...hmmm he is in the shower..poor poor man probubly thinks he is gonna get lucky..oh well mayeb with his x-box he will..i am off to fantazise about a wild and crazy sex life than go to bed.. :roll:

[MarchMommy]

haha, oh well. i hope that you get you some!

[sarahlynn]

ummm no didnt happen...Dh came up laid on the bed by me for like 20 minutes watching tv..didnt lay a hand on me. :? needless to say i was pretty distant being all irritated with him.but god he could have made an attempt to SWOOOON me...so he says whatcha doin..i say i am gonna get off and than go to bed..he says what by yourself..i say sure why not..and he stands there and says want me to come to bed..i say nope i am alright..

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i needto get myself a woman..

[haydensmom]

Sarah at least he made an "offer." Sorry about the whole thing though. Why are men so dense sometimes???

Kelly, how was the house? I'm excited to hear!

I had a bfp dream last night. I was totally excited about it, too. I wasn't totally sure about starting this month or waiting until a little later, but that was my sign I think. :D

[newmami]

YAY Pam for the date!! we would need details afterwards, ok???

Kelly, go see the house and make an offer, there is nothing to lose, right?
We also decided to wait to buy a house, our main focus is paying credit card debt, and we are hoping to get out of FL in couple years, so we would buy a house when we move

Sarah, sorry DH is being so dense about everything!!! :?

Spoke with DH about daycare, he said we have to do whatever is best for the kids. He also has noticed Dani has advanced a lot this 3 weeks she has been on the other daycare, and he is pleased with that... so today when I pick her up, I will talk to the lady and see how she feels!!

Days when you just want to crawl in a hole... yup! I have those as well. TOday I am having a "getting kicked constantly day".... someone please tell this little one to stop moving!!!!

[without]

I am so sorry I have not had time to comment on what is going on in every ones life. I only have a minute and wanted to update you all on my good news. I closed on my house about 15 minutes ago!!! Yea I am a proud owner of a home loan! Sorry I can't chat more I am off and running again. I will fill you all in Monday!

[chellebelle32]

I got Morgan to "school" this morning a little early, so we had to wait. She wanted out right then, but I told her we had to wait until the clock turned to 7. She started to throw a fit and I said "I love you, Morgan." She looked at me and said "I don't want to love you." Aren't kids great when they can't get their way. When I was getting ready to leave, she told me bye and love you any way.

Pam, that is so great about your house. I hope you will be very happy.

Claudia, I'm sorry the baby won't be still. Morgan was sideways until the very end and she was constantly stretching, so I can feel your pain.

Michelle

[haydensmom]

Oh Michelle, that must have broken your heart. It would break mine.

Ladies, I'm having an awful day. I have some personal stuff going on right now that is just tearing me up inside. Plus, I haven't been keeping track of my food intake as well because I'm hurting and I gained a pound this week. :cry: Sorry for the vent...

[chellebelle32]

Jess, I will be thinking of you. It's awful for everyone in a family when one member is down and hurting.

I think what she meant was that she didn't want to say it back to me. It is my main goal that she never wonders if I really love her even after she is grown. I often wonder if my actual mother ever really loved me. That is a story for a different time and place.

Michelle

[MarchMommy]

Jess, i hope that you are ok....im sorry that you are having a bad day!!

Michelle, i was just thinking about the few times i told my mother i hated her. because i was a stupid dumb teenager, and i know if i ever heard madi say that to me it would break my heart. i know that she didnt tell you she hated you, but you get my drift!

[DIVADLX]

Hey ladies! I can't really catch up so I am just going to jump in!

Pam - wahoo on the date!

Jess - if you need to talk we're here for ya!

I am not on for long ladies... I felt like pooh because I had pneumonia! i am feeling better now, but am still not all myself. DH stayed home today to help with Stella and help take care of me.

Have a better day, everyone!

[DIVADLX]

on that topic... I have often thought about how differently I view my teen years now that i am a mother. I mean, my mother wasn't all that touchy-feely-mushy, but it must have been really hard to see these little babies grow to be total PITAs making bad decisions and telling her that she hated them.

I never told my mother that I hated her. I did worse. I told her that she meant nothing to me. She later told me that it was the most hurtful thing anyone ever said in her life. I can see why now that I am a mommy.

[newmami]

Oh Jess, I am sorry you are not feeling well... is there something we can do to cheer you up girl??? Times like this is when I hate the distances!!!

Jenn, Pneumonia OMG!! take care of yourself please!!! hope you feel better soon

Woo hoo Pam on closing!! no wonder why you have been so busy!!

Michelle, I am sorry Morgan is acting up... from what I've heard, they are starting to feel emotions that are out of control, so try not taking it too personal!!! still it would break my heart to hear the I don't love you!!

[DIVADLX]

BTW - jess - Jenn or Jennifer are my preferred names. I also go by Hotness, Gorgeous, and Beautiful... ;)

[Bells614]

Hey Girls!

I sooo need to catch up on this thread, but I don't have time...I need to get to bed...I've only got 5 hours before I have to be up for work.

We did go look at the house. I like the style of house, and love the fact that it has 5 bedrooms. Love the master suite, it's HUGE. But, the house needs a lot of work. It's all cosmetic, but we are talking a good $10-$15,000. It's liveable while doing the work, but it's going to take a lot of time and energy. Additionally, it has lots of bedrooms, but not so much "living space" if you know what I mean. Fairly small living room, eat in kitchen, etc. No family room, no formal dining, etc. So, I think we have decided to pass. But, this definately has us thinking.

There is a job available with the local school district for a social studies teacher. They have been hiring a lot of people without their teaching certification. I'm only a couple classes away. I'll be in contact with them tomorrow to see if they would even consider me without it ( I would be one class and student teaching away from my cert by August). Don't want to bother filling out the mountain of paperwork with out a chance. So, if I can start teacher this next school year rather than the next, we will be able to move sooner.

Sorry so long, but DH and I have been talking A LOT! We are really thinking of different things we can do. It's all crazy. Like my plate wasn't full enough before these thoughts entered our mind. :roll:

I'll try to catch up with you all tomorrow after I get home from work...thanks for the thoughts!!!

[MarchMommy]

madi's party is SUNDAY, most of you know that i just put together a video DVD of alot of her first year pics and i just got it burned and i watched it and cried like a baby. i put Manheim Steamroller music to it, and its just so neat!!
one of my moms co-workers just got it to burn...its 250 pics and its sooo sweet. its going to run all thru her party. ive got 30 people coming now... :shock:
my house isnt small by any means, but ive never done anything with that many people...

aw kelly im sorry the house didnt work out....i hope you find one that works for you

[tralynne75]

We want to see the DVD!! I can't believe Madi is getting ready to turn 1.

Hotness I like that name...form now own Jenn is going to known as hotness..LOL!!! Hope you are feeling better.

Kelly, sorry the house didn't work out. I hope you get the teaching job...good luck!!

Pam..Yay for becoming a home owner!!

Jess I hope things start getting better for you.

Katie is at my mom tonight and I have done nothing. I mean nothing. I have been pouring over paperwork for Dylan school, he has to decide what classes he wants to take next year in high school. My baby is starting high school in aug. :cry: Oh get this, They are taking 8 classes a year but 4 classes for the first half then 4 the second half. Ok if he doesn't pass 3 out of 4 he loses his license. :D Now he will have to make good grades. But I didn't know the schools would have that much pull with the DMV. Of course it starts in 10th grade but he has to make good grades even in 9th grade to even get his license.

[MarchMommy]

oo opam i didnt know that you bought a house!! CONGRATS WOMAN!!!!!!!!!

Tracy, sometimes its good to do NOTHING when you have some free time...enjoy it.

id love to show you the DVD, but i dont know if i can on here....take my word for it..its AMAZING, im so proud and happy

[haydensmom]

MM, good luck with the party on Sunday. It blows my mind that all these "babies" are turning one already. I'm still in denial that Hayden is growing up. :lol:

Kelly, sorry you didn't go with the house, but now you have a starting point as far as what basics you want!

Jenn... hotness... nice! :lol:

Hayden has started doing this thing at night: SCREEEEEAAAAAAAAAMIIIIIIING. :roll: He wakes up in the middle of the night and is just inconsolable unless I give him a bottle... even the boob doesn't usually work. :shock: I can only think that it's his teeth and that the boob irritates his gums (has in the past). Last night he was up for an hour and a half - the night before, THREE HOURS. :cry: Momma's tired.

I have no idea what's going on.

As far as my emotional state, I'm getting better! Dh and I are working through an issue and we had a really good talk last night. I also prayed a lot and God seems to be giving me answers. All I know is that before I prayed, I was totally lost on the situation and as soon as I said "Amen" there was a light at the end of the tunnel! Pretty awesome, imo.

I know a lot of people on this site aren't Christians, but you're my friends and that was my experience for the evening. :lol: :wink:

[sarahlynn]

WELL PRAY FOR MY DH CAUSE I AM GOING TO MOVE HIM INTO THE UNHEATED COLD A$$ MISERABLE GARAGE :evil:

He gets home last night and doesnt realize i am in the compter room..cy is watching a movie in the living room and DH makes him turn off his movie so he can get onlin and play X-box..assanign thing to do IMO but what makes me even more upset is just last weekend we decided CY doesnt need to be playing/watching these teen adn mature rated games..he got in trouble saying things at school that i know he got from hearing the peopel my DH playswith oNline..and i was PISSED! :x So i called him on it and said "is he supposed to be watching this" and his excuse was "well my brother is online" so he can just rott today for all i care..EEEEK i havent been this worked up in a long time
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am happy that praying is helping you find some answers and see soem light at the end of the tunnel...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so what did i miss..where did HOTNESS come from? did i miss some hot and juice news?

[CandiceLeigh]

Ugh Sarah, unfortunately I can relate. My DH had me & Chris out late last night with him b/c he wanted to play video games at his brothers house. It was 10:00 and me and the baby were both falling asleep, so I told him to take us home. Then he went back to his brother's house till 12:30! :shock: I hate X-box Live, it's the worst invention ever! Oh, and earlier while we were over there, I called his name to ask him a question and he happened to die at the same time, so he yells "****!" Man, that pissed me off because any time I try to talk to him when he's playing games, he says I distract him and make him die. I HATE HALO!!! :x

I'm kind of behind with this thread, so forgive me for not replying to everyone!

That's the butthole vvvvvvv (those are supposed to be arrows)

[DIVADLX]

But he's a hot butthole, Mrs F!

sarah - gggrrrrr.... that would have ticked me off to no end! You've got a lot of love for that man... ;)

MM I don't think I have ever said, but I have a very short list of musicians I would pay big money to go see in concert, and Billy Joel is actually one of them. I love love love him - from Captain Jack, to She's Got A Way, to We Didn't Start the Fire, I love him.

I know that it makes me the overbearing horrible wife, but what you guys are talking about is about 50% of the reason why no gaming things are allowed in our house. Period. No discussion. It was agreed upon before we were married. It is as sacred as our wedding vows, this promise to never ever bring an x-box, or a wii, or a PS into our house. ;) Its because he would be on it constantly. He would never do the grown up responsible things a 30 year old man is supposed to be doing. I would then be so disgusted by his 12 year old behavior that I would probably withhold sex for the next 6 months. That's good for no one. But having sex with a 12 year old is just creepy (even if his chronological age is 30 and you're married to him.) The other 50% is that I do not want our kids to play them.

My MIL has been out of control lately!!! She calls about 12 times a day, leaves about 6 messages. We have had to start a new pattern - DH turns off the ringer before he goes to work, and I turn it on when we get up. She has woken Stella up too many times. Her new messages:

"Ok Jennifer, you've won. You get to keep him!"
"I know you hate me Jennifer, but I love you!"

And other drunken slurrings, but for the most part they are just variations on the same two themes above. I will never tell her that her son would NEVER call her and NEVER send her gifts or cards and he would NEVER do anything for her, if it wasn't for me telling him no matter how she acts, he cannot act the same - he needs to treat her right. And as far as hating her, I don't. I pity her, I am disgusted by her, and I have no respect for her, but I do not hate her. And she SO does NOT love me. She has a habit of saying the opposite of how she feels when she is threatened. She actually cannot stand me.

Anyway, sorry, this is a long post. But I have come out of my pneumonia induced haze and have a lot to say.

Missed you ladies!

[DIVADLX]

Sorry... my post was too long. No one is writing in this thread.. probably because it takes 3 hours to read my last post...

Or maybe I am the thread killer?

;)

[katie]

We have two xboxes (an older version and the 360) but thankfully DH isn't as obsessed.... though I'm sure he would like to be. He hasn't played in the past month because he has too many other things to do. I'm sorry for those of you who have to deal with DHs abandoning you for the game systems! One of my pet peeves is seeing how addicted my aunts daughters are to the tv and their game systems... they don't play outside or do anything that isn't technology related and are both overweight. After seeing this DH and I both agree that we will try our best to raise Abby so that she is more active.

My MIL is almost the total opposite - she isn't the crazy obessesive, calling, always over type... it's almost like the avoids me at some points. She could have seen Abby this past weekend (first time since Christms) but SIL was in town and they were going to do wedding stuff for SIL when her wedding is over a year away (and I planned all of mine in 7 months). She'll talk forever to DH and gets upset if she doesn't talk to him every couple days but she doesn't seem to mke much of an effort with me. :? I guess in some ways I should just be thankful that she isn't annoying me but on the other hand she is a really sweet lady and I would like to know her better but she puts a wall up. I should give her a break since FIL is deployed and all but it just irks me that she didn't even want to see her granddaughter.

As far as my emotional state, I'm getting better! Dh and I are working through an issue and we had a really good talk last night. I also prayed a lot and God seems to be giving me answers. All I know is that before I prayed, I was totally lost on the situation and as soon as I said "Amen" there was a light at the end of the tunnel! Pretty awesome, imo.
That's great Jess!

DH just finished applying to law schools two weeks ago and got his first acceptance letter a couple days ago. It was from his backup school - the catch however is they want a seat deposit before we will probably get letters back from any of his other schools. We don't really have the extra money to put the deposit down but on the other hand if he doesn't get in to UT or Virginia this school would be a good choice and we don't want to lose the option. :? There is another letter on our coffee table now from that school and I'm just waiting on DH to get home to open it... I hope its a scholarship offer! :D

Okay wow that was long sorry!

[Bean]

DH has a PS2 but there's no one to get online with here in the Middle of Nowhere, Germany. I actually don't mind watching him play video games. My favorite is Final Fantasy!

[chellebelle32]

Jenn, I am so glad that you are feeling better.

Tonight is my nephew's birthday party. He is turning 4. Morgan is so excited. She is wearing her new scooter skirt. I am excited, too. She is finally big enough to play with the other kids and I don't have to constantly keep a hold of her. I got a new casual outfit to wear as well. It's just knit capris and a matching shirt, but I usually wear jeans and a big t-shirt.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.

Michelle

[CandiceLeigh]

Sorry... my post was too long. No one is writing in this thread.. probably because it takes 3 hours to read my last post...

Or maybe I am the thread killer?

;)

Are you crazy?!?! I read your post hours ago Ms. Hotness, but I have been a lazy poster all week. I read allll your posts as a matter of fact! :wink: Sucks about your MIL, mine is kinda crazy too. I forgot to tell ya'll about the wedding fiasco. Long story short, she didn't go because we invited one of DH's uncles that she doesn't like. :roll: Yeah, and that uncle didn't even go, so she missed it all 'cause she's a crazy biotch!! :x Can you tell I was pissed about it? I didn't care if she went, but it hurt my DH and then his dad didn't go either because he didn't want MIL to be mad at him for going. That really hurt DH. :( Which in turn pissed me off!! Needless to say, I haven't spoken to her in a month...

I'm sorry I never gave you all the details about the big day, but like I said, I've been lazy. I will do my best to write a whole thread about it next week. Here's a Random pic my sis sent me though...taking my 1 shot of the night. I am so not a drinker!! Those are all my bridesmaids and some friends from high school.

http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i279/candiceleighfy/shot.jpg

[MarchMommy]

Jen, i LOVE billy joel. ive seen him a few times with elton john too (another one of my favs). hes AWESOME in concert....very animated and fun. lots of good energy.

Candice, i cant wait to hear about your big day!!!!!!
the pic is soo cute!!

[tralynne75]

Candice, I love the pic and can't wait to hear about your wedding.

Dylan has a PS2 but DH doesnot play it and has sold all our gaming systems. The bad thing is he goes to friends and famiy to play. One plus is he takes Katie to sMIL and plays games with his brother. So I am kid and DH free. It makes me mad sometimes though because he needs to be looking for a job and can help out around the house.

Hotness, that sucks about your MIL. I am glad you are feeling better. We missed you.

Sarah, Jenn is called hotness because she said in a previos post she likes to be called jenn, jennifer, beautiful or hotness and I think HOTNESS is perfect, don't ya think??? :lol: I think that x-box needs to go missing for a few days. Of course he would be sooo mad. I hope you plan on taking that vaction because I think you and the kids need it.

[sarahlynn]

I HATE HALO!!!

SO WITH YA GIRL..this is the one my DH plays.

[DIVADLX]

Um, the middle of Page 2 is no place for this to be!!! Sarah was almost the thread killer!

:D

[tralynne75]

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

We went out house looking today and we liked several of them. It makes me so mad when I see one I really like and MIL just barely looks at it. She is helping us so she has to like it. Today she turned one down because she didn't like how the outside looked, It was a 4 BR 3 bath, living room, den, dining room, kit, 2 car garage, 2 decks for only 145,000.00 That is a great price for a brand new house in this area. Oh well God will provide when the time is right.

[DIVADLX]

Wow! $145,000 is what you pay for a 700 sq ft 1 bedroom condo here! That is fantastic.

I am so glad Stella is pooping every day... but does she have to do it the second she lands in the bathtub?

[without]

I am so bad!!! I keep coming here and posting about me but never have the time to post about what every one else is talking about. Sigh.... maybe things will slow down a little today and I can catch up but until then here is how my weekend went.

I had so much fun!!! On Friday I shopped about 12 hours for a new shirt and didn't find one that I liked. LOL I ended up wearing some thing I already had in my closet!!!! LOL The date was GREAT!!! We had a great ice breaker in my drive way before we left for the date and that made the whole date go better. As soon as he pulled up I ran out the door to met him (because I didn't want him to see the make up and hair curlers all over the floor). So I met him in the drive way (and remember I have not seen this guy in 10 years) and he hugs me! I get stiff as a board (grant was never good at affection unless he was high or drunk) he looks at me with shock on his face I smile turn 10 shades of red and we both laugh! We did dinner and a move (held hand in the move blush!) and then he asked if I would like to do it again some time and I said when ever you say you want to go I am so there! LOL So this coming week end we are going out again.


Even if nothing comes of this but us just being friends I am so glad I did it! I know it might sound strange but he helped me feel valued again. He helped remind me that I am more than a daughter, sister, and mother. I am a women! I know I must have a smile on my face 10 miles wide still today!

[sarahlynn]

WHAT i was just about the thread killer...EEEK i am so not a thread killer :lol:


I am so happy to hear your date went good..he sounds lieka good guy.

so how was everyones weekend? the weather here was wonderful so we hung out outside most of the weekend..lcuea went on lots of walks..we planned on going to the zoo but after i took cy and his friends to MC playland i was all tuckered out and we hung out at home..

MAN did the time change screw up anyone else..my children were up all night..cy went to bed at 11:00 and lucea at midnight..i am usualy in bed by 10:00 and i was still wide awake at midnight to..BLAH...

[MarchMommy]

oh pam, im so glad your date went well...you SO deserved that!!!

madi only took one nap yesterday so she was good to go at her bedtime. plus she was tuckered out from her big day yesterday!!

[newmami]

Yay Pam for the nice date!! I am glad that you had fun and that you feel appreciated as a woman again!!!

Hotness, glad the pneumonia is gone and that you are feeling better!! sorry about your MIL... what a PITA!!!

I played hookie last Friday, went to do the 3 hr glucose test, then I picked up Dani and stayed home playing with her, it was WONDERFUL!!! specially the 2 hr nap we took together (love it when she falls asleep in my arms!!!). Weekend was calmed, but I got me some bootie because Saturday I woke up all horney, so I had to wake up DH who did a WONDERFUL job!! he he he!!!

Videogames, Dh has the PS2 and is all into it, but it would NEVER replace me, Dani or sex. He plays when I go to sleep early, and if I make any suggestions about sex, the PS2 goes off in 2 seconds!!!

Jess, glad things are working out with DH... sometimes all you need is time and to talk about it!!! it is amazing how much it helps when you pour your hearts out and understand the other person!!

So...... I got me a new daycare!! I spoke with the temporary lady on Thursday about keeping Dani & Christi beginning July, and she said YES!! she wanted 2 more kids, and as she already knows me & Dani, it works for her!! and she is excited about taking care of a baby!! I am so happy!! Dani didn't cried today when I dropped her, so we are making progress... yes, the daycare lady she is supposed to be with is still out... nice of her from calling me and letting me know huh???, now I really don't care what she thinks of me taking Dani away, I am DONE with her!!!

[Bells614]

YEA Pam!!!!! That is awesome!

Christi, Madi's party looks awesome! We are just starting to think about Manda's. We have to do it outside, so we are going to a park that has the playground and bathrooms real close to the shelter. Our house is just too small.

I just rearranged our living room. First time in over a year. Now Manda's toys are right next to the computer. She seems much happier with them there. Unfortunately, I have to spend too much time on this dang thing with school, so at least I can have her right here.

House shopping...man have we got the bug! But, 145000 is great for a brand new 4 bedroom! They are more expensive around here, more like $200,000...depending on the house.

[rhiannasmoms43]

Newmami!
I just have to say your new siggy is adorable!
She is soooooo cute.

[newmami]

Kelly, a 4BD house for $200K sound awesome!! That is how much you pay for a 100sqft, 3 pseudobedroom here.... Yeah, FL sucks!!!
I hear you on the house bug, I got it couple years ago when the market was insane!!!

Thank you for the compliment Julie!! I updated pictures, so I had to share my little monkey!!

[haydensmom]

Pam, I'm so glad that date went well! Sounds like you really had a great time.

Hotness - glad that pneumonia is going away!

Christi, may I just say that you look fab??? I was looking through the pics of Madi's party and you look wonderful! You go girl!

Tracy, that sucks that you found a house you like, but MIL won't budge. God will lead you where you need to be if you have faith. We're in a similar boat - houses around here are expensive! Trying to find a nice one with a yard doesn't happen for much under $250k. We're praying and I'll pray for you (and Kelly), too.

Dh is away again this week. He won't be back until early Friday morning. Boo for business trips. He's in Des Moines for training. :(

Oh great news!! Dh got a raise. Also, his boss said that he wants to promote him mid-year (which is in three months, mind you!!!) He's only worked there for a year, and at his company, that never really happens. SO YAY!!!!! I'm so excited and proud of him.

Guess what else?!?! Next month is official ttc for us. I can't wait.

[newmami]

Yay for the promotion Jess!! sorry DH is out again... have fun TTC!!!

[sarahlynn]

Oh i cant wait till all of our mommies become mommies once again...when it happens you all are required to keep us updated in NM all the time..

[DIVADLX]

It just occured to me... if Peyton, Lucea, Morgan, Danielle and Stella were all friends - that totally sounds like a sorority! Or like they are on the OC or something...

[sarahlynn]

yup we girls need to hook up so they can become rockin friends..

[haydensmom]

Sarah you totally deserve a vacation. Just remember, money doesn't follow you to the grave. :wink: Did that help?? :lol:

I just realized that the majority of people who post in this little group (this particular thread) have girls. That's funny. Hayden feels outnumbered. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

OK MY DAILY RANT..and get this...its NOT about my DH today..lucky man


OK so why the heck cant they make clothes univeral in size?

"have you ever seen a herse pulling a U Haul? NOPE you cant it with you so spend

[Bells614]

Hey now, Amanda totally needs added to the sorority! :lol: :lol: :wink:

I just bought frames for Amanda's new pics, I do this everytime we take pictures. I swear, my house is becoming a monument to this child.

Jen, so glad to hear you are feeling better and BOOO about the MIL. My MIL is wonderful, I just wish she lived closer (she is in NM and we are in Kansas City) and that everyone had an awesome MIL. I feel for my DH though, my Mom is kinda a pain....but atleast I see it!

[without]

It just occured to me... if Peyton, Lucea, Morgan, Danielle and Stella were all friends - that totally sounds like a sorority! Or like they are on the OC or something...

Don't worry Chris is here to help head the frat! :lol:

edited to add a word

[haydensmom]

YAY I'm glad you're booking it! :D

[haydensmom]

I just realized that the majority of people who post in this little group (this particular thread) have girls. That's funny. Hayden feels outnumbered. :lol:

Don't Chris is here to help head the frat! :lol:

Phew!

[sarahlynn]

whos gonna meet me at the mall of america?

ah huh i can see those little boys crashing the pajama party.. :lol:

[newmami]

Sarah, if I lived in MN, I would meet you at the mall!! Glad you are going on vacation, you so deserve it!!!!

I agree we need to arrange some kind of meeting, it would be a riot!!!
BTW, you forgot to add Madi & Katie to the sorority!!!

Is it me or it is funny how this universal thread became a conversation between the same people?? I was hoping everyone will chime in, and I am open to anybody posting here, but apparently some people feel intimidated or something!!

[sarahlynn]

i have often wondered why more dont chat/post in here..i always do because i feel dumb making whole separte threads about everyday things i need to talk/*****/whine/complian about.

[sunshine]

:lol: I've been meaning to post here (again) for the longest time...but I can't get caught up and I'd hate not to comment on someone's news for fear of leaving them out and making them feel bad...but I've been reading this thread for the past 3 days and I've come to realize the fact (YES, it took THREE days! :lol: ) that I'm not going to catch up! And I'm missing out on a lot by not posting here.

So, I'm back here...hope you all don't mind. :D

[CandiceLeigh]

I was hesitant to post in here at first for fear of not being let in to the "club." I was welcomed though, and I love the every day chatter! :D Also, this "club" is for EVERYONE!! Therefore use of the word club is unecessary! 8)

[sarahlynn]

i cannot keep up with all the posts on here sometimes it moves way to fast...but the ladies really dont mind of you dont comment on each of their posts..well i dont but i am assueming the others dont either..

Its just a great place to talk about eveyrthing and NOTHING!

[newmami]

I don't mind if you don't make comments on something that happened 2 days ago!! this thread moves fast, so it is hard to catch up
Everybody is welcome here to jump in and post something, the beauty about this thread is that it keeps changing and no one cares about that!! I guess we actually expect it to change constantly, so no need to catch up and comment on everything

Just bring your comments, whines, vents, frustrations, happiness, events of the day!!

Now my vent, I failed the 3 hr Glucose tolerance test, so I would go to Nutrition Counseling meetings... WONDERFUL!!! :roll:

[sarahlynn]

OH man that sucks... :(

[CandiceLeigh]

Ah Claudia, that sucks!! :x

[newmami]

Yup it does... the idea of having to prick my finger God knows how many times a day is freaking me out.....
Yeah well, happy birthday (tomorrow) to me :?

[sarahlynn]

OMG how come nobody told me LUMO had her baby :?

[CandiceLeigh]

Ah Claudia, I hope you have a good day tomorrow!

Sorry Sarah, someone had posted it but it got pushed way far down to the bottom and me, I'm a browser so that's how I knew. She's a cutie, isn't she?

[sarahlynn]

she is adroable...

[MarchMommy]

Christi, may I just say that you look fab??? I was looking through the pics of Madi's party and you look wonderful! You go girl! THANK you jess!!! i attribute it all to the breastfeeding. now i just hope i dont gain it all back

[MarchMommy]

It just occured to me... if Peyton, Lucea, Morgan, Danielle and Stella were all friends - that totally sounds like a sorority! Or like they are on the OC or something...what about madison?? :cry:

[sarahlynn]

now why the heck hasnt BFing helpedme at all i weighed myself at the doc office and i still have 20lbs to go.. :roll:

oh well maybe if i BF for the next 5 year i will loose it all...or i could actually be a little physical and that might help

BUT YOU ALL WOULD BE PROUD OF ME..me and Lucea walked walked walked this weekend..she loves it outside..i cant wait to have her playin in the back yard..

YA KNOW WHAT its 74 here today..EEEEEEEEEEEk yay summer is on its way

~~~~

Maddie better be there..i know her and lucea would get along great...

[MarchMommy]

yea the weather has been super nice. DH and i both took the day off for madi's bday and we took her to the park. there were BIG kids in the BABY swing. i got buck with one of the ladies because madi was THE only baby, and her kid was lik 4 and all the regular swings were open. madi cant run around and climb all over everything like those bigger kids so that pretty much leaves the slide (going down with daddy) and the baby swing. she finally took her FOUR year old out of the swing so madi could have a turn, but i was fit to be tied man!!!

:evil:

[haydensmom]

I totally didn't know Lumo had her baby, either!!! :shock: How did I miss that?!?!

Christi, I'd have been super mad!

Debbie, yay! Glad to see you posting here. If I am away for a day, I'm behind on this thread. I just jump in. But just for the record, you better respond to my post from 50 pages ago. :lol: :wink: *note the sarcasm*

Oooooh that means there's another boy! The girls still have us beat, though.

Claudia, that totally sucks that you failed your GD test! BOO! :x

[MarchMommy]

claudia i missed that you failed the GD test....im sorry!!

[HollyJo]

It just occured to me... if Peyton, Lucea, Morgan, Danielle and Stella were all friends - that totally sounds like a sorority! Or like they are on the OC or something...what about madison?? :cry:

I think Caiden would love to come party at a sorority with so many cute babes. :D

[sarahlynn]

its bedtime ladies..

have a great evening :D

[DIVADLX]

I don't know what was wrong with me... Madison, Amanda and Katie are excellent sorority names too...

It'll be the only sorority on the planet where the young women are beautiful, brilliant, charitable, and kind all that the same time and not just to impress a boy!

And all the boys names here are TOTALLY great Frat names.

I just sat through the whole The Nanny because I had my hackles all up because the ads kind of made it seem like the Nanny lady was anti-breastfeeding. She kind of is, but she wasn't overly...

Join anytime - just jump in! Don't worry!

Claudia - I can't imagine failing that sucker. That really stinks - I am so sorry!

I had the most wonderful day today! I met Nikki and Holly (and Zachary and Caiden of course!) at the zoo. Got some sun, got some friendship... life is good.

[newmami]

We don't have sororities in Mexico, so I am clueless about the whole deal, but I would LOVE if our babies could be friends!!!
Maybe I should move to Seattle, so I can hang out with you girls!!

YAY for the good weather... spring is almost here ladies!!!

Christi, I hate when kids misbehave on the park and parents are oblivion to it. One time I told this kid to wait until Dani was done in the slide, he was all over her, and NO ONE IS HURTING MY BABY!!!!!
Playing hookie for your DD's birthday is the best thing ever!!!

[sarahlynn]

yeah the nanny kind of rubbed me the wrong way last night..though she did say it was up to the mothe if she wanted to wean and she would back her either way they made it sound like BFing just for the emotional and comfort benefits wasnt a good reason..but it also seemed like that little girl did consume a lot of the mamas time..and she was trying to run a daycare with 4 children to boot..EEEK EEEK EEEK kudos to her..

oh well it still make me sad when they were tyring to wean her and she wanted the boob i thought there is no way i am going to be able to do tha tto lucea .. the ball will have to be in her court to wean....he he i say that now but it might change when she is 4 :lol:

So i left this pile of clean folded clothes at the bottom of the stairs for 4 days i think 4 maybe 3 and DH never once even made an effort to carry them up..i can carry them but i wanted to see if he even acknowledged they were there.NOPE..what is it with men..good lord..do they not see them or just not get it or care?

well finally last night things were back to normal in my house the kids got over the time change and made it to bed ontime..i even had to wake lulu this morn to take her to daycare so i only got to see her for like 15 minutes :(

[tralynne75]

Claudia, I am sorry you failed the test. Happy Birthday, I posted in the other post also. And I love your new siggy. I am so excited to see Christi, I know she will be beautiful because Dani is a doll!!

Yes Debbie, just jump in. We do not care if you comment about our whining, thats why this thread is so awsome.

Pam, Yay for your date. I am gald he made you feel like a women. We all need that from time to time. Its about time someone starts treating you like the beautiful woman you are.

It is going to be in the 70s here today!!! I plan on taking Katie outside to play. The bad thing is they just fertilized (with poop) the grass. :shock: I need to find a park to go to today.

I am watching motherhood and there is a Tracy with a Kate, there is also a Cattie (katie) who is 1 that is not even rolling over.

We looked at more houses yesterday. I just want to cry. I wish we had the money and could get a loan ourselves. I know God will provide and I shouldn't worry. Heck I have a 2 bedroom condo that is paid for and we are doing just fine. There are so many who are homeless and here I am complaining. I am so awful!!!!

So today I am in cry mode and I was watching a Baby Story so it of course made me cry more. I know not to watch that show, why do I do this to myself??????
My child is still asleep and it is 10 here!!!!

[sarahlynn]

you are not awful for wanting a house..honestly..i wish they made it a little easier for families to get homes..we just barely got ours..my DH's credit was shot (unbenounced to me) and we went through a time where i didnt think we were going to get it..it was horrible and stressful...YOu will get your house..


HAPPY BIRTHdAY CLAUDIA...when was your birthday did i miss it??


we need to do the whole yard fertilizer seeding thingy here soon..but i dont think we will use poop probubly some forrible chemical junk that makes it so the kids can play on it for months :lol: oh well I WANT GRASS!

[newmami]

My birthday is today!!! I am 36!!

Tracey, I hear you on the house. We don't have bad credit, but we had a LOT of debt, so my dreams of having a house are over for a while. We have a plan to pay all the debt, and I am very happy about it, so that is my main goal now.... but yeah it sucks when you go house shopping and know it is not going to happen!!! so complain away... when you least expect it, you will find your dream home!!

Sarah, men have selective hearing, reading, observation and smell skills... poopy diaper they don't smell, things on the floor, they don't see.... DH is the same way!!!

[sarahlynn]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU THAN TODAY!!! whacha got planned?


i actually laid a wet diaper on my husbands belt this morn just to see if he would throw it away or even acknowledge it..i bet ya $500 bucks its still there when i get home..he will just move the diaper and take the belt

[newmami]

Sarah, he would leave the diaper where it is and just get the belt!!! I don't think you would find anyone here who would bet he picks it up!!! :roll:

So apparently people at my work forgot my birthday, which is cool because I am in a cranky mood with most of them, and I don't have to deal with a cake... that I cannot eat because of GD!!

As for plans, I am probably leaving at 4, pick up Dani, give her a bath and get her pretty to go out to dinner. I have been craving Kobe for the longest time, so we will have a Japanese celebration, and see what Danielle thinks of tepanyaki!

[Bells614]

Sarah, are we married to she same man????

I don't know what has gotten into DH lately, but he is driving me nuts. I worked my arse off yesterday on this house and he didn't say a word. Then he crawled into bed and just threw the blankets over the folded laundry....after he moved them to my side. :evil:

Usually he is awesome, but the last couple days have stunk. We are both working fulltime (for the most part...I have grad school and a 27 hr a week job) and yet, by the time I get my days off work, the house is a wreck. He is playing his stupid computer game constantly. Even last night after work.

Ok, I'm done complaining. Thanks gals!

House shopping...man I wish we could move now. But, it will be nice to fix up the few things we have been letting slide around here. I've wanted to redo the kitchen since we bought this house 5 years ago. We are talking and planning it, but it will have to wait until summer.

[sunshine]

Sorry to hear you failed the 3 hour test, Claudia. Happy Birthday, btw!

Christi, I hate when people hog the baby park equipment with their children who are totally capable of using the bigger kids stuff.

YAY for your date, Pam!

I'm so jelious of your trip to the zoo, Jenn! I can't wait until Spring so G can go to the zoo!

Jess, I totally need to play hookie soon so we can meet up again!

[DIVADLX]

Thing is, at 14 months really the normal "nursing" frequency is only 3-4 times a day, and usually those are pretty efficient feedings. She didn't even bring up the option of just cutting out some feedings. It was "wean or sit there for hours with her on your breast."

I think the part that bothered me the most was the crying in the crib. Not that I think they were necessarily scarring her for life - i mean it was 4 minutes - it was how she was looking toward the door and crying so sadly - it was totally "they left me and they are not coming back!" which I am very sensitive to.

Happy birthday Claudia!!!!!!!

I think it is something in the air... my DH was a total dork starting at about 4 am and not ending his dorkitude until he left for work.

[sarahlynn]

it must be the day to whine about our DH's huh?

Mine just called and iwas trying to talk to him about doing the yard/kennel/grass and is all tired and yawning..i say Are you tired..yeah ..why...i dont know..what time did you get home..midnight..well maybe if you went to sleep you wouldnt be tired..yeah..AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i want to scalp you.

i need a motivated man..i am sick of this crap..

and i canceld out trip to the cities..just cant do it.. :( i worry to much about DH spending and us getting behind..so i decided to make it a mini trip and take the kids to a hotel out of town that has a waterpark.. :cry: oh wellit will be fun anyways..

[sunshine]

Oh no, Sarah...I'm sorry to hear you cancelled your trip to the cities. I hope you, Cy, and Lucea have fun at the water parks. Is DH coming?



i actually laid a wet diaper on my husbands belt this morn just to see if he would throw it away or even acknowledge it..i bet ya $500 bucks its still there when i get home..he will just move the diaper and take the belt
OMG...your husband sounds like mine! :lol: My DH is always asking me where his crap is...and I'm like well if it were on your balls you'd know...you can't keep your hands off that! :lol: :roll:

MEN...I tell ya!

[newmami]

Oh no Sarah!! I am sorry you decided to cancel the vacation... you totally deserve it, but if you are not going to enjoy it, I understand cancelling it. Have tons of fun at the waterpark then!!

I didn't saw the Nanny chapter, but I cannot do the crying baby either... specially when the cry sounds like "no one is taking care of me" :cry: ... heartbreaking!!! Dani pulled one of this on Sunday, she cried when I got herclose to the crib, but would calm down when I picked her up (she doesn't do this at all!! and the cry sounded like she was tired), so I took her to my room, lay on bed with her until she was deep sleep, and then took her to her bed

Maybe the daylight time screwed up our DH and that is why they are dorks????? Mine has been OK, but he is obsessed with the Final Fantasy game :roll: ... yesterday afternoon he played for almost 2 hours, while I played, fed, bathe and put Dani to sleep.... and yes dinner was late, but he could have cooked, right? if he wanted to wait for me to cook, then he needs to suck it up!!

Oh!! last weekend I saw this movie The Ilusionist, it is awesome!!! we also watched The Departed.... good disturbing movie!

The day is going by so slow I want to pull my hair out!!! can someone please make it 4:30?????

[sunshine]

Claudia...you need to go home (not that I want you to leave us)...it's your Birthday!

[sarahlynn]

wow i just was looking at all the posts from the APA Pres in random..how sad is that, he has to post these things to a bunch of grown woman :?

[newmami]

I thought the same Sarah... shame on us for needing the baby sitter!!
I guess people tend to forget that
1. we are a bunch of hormonal, sleep deprived, anxious women/moms
2. when you post something, things may come out the wrong way, because you cannot see the other person talking
3. we are different and we need to embrace and respect those differences

Anyways, I am glad the DRAMA stayed on Random, and didn't filter to other forums!!

[sarahlynn]

one thing i always do and i think it comes from taking online classes..is i read and reread my posts because i want to make sure i am coming across the way i want to ..and i also want to make sure i am understading others posts..

oh well i am with ya..glad it stays in random..

So its about 2:00 that means only 3 hours left...i called DH and said do you want me to rake the yard to get it ready for planting..OK I SAID IT expecting him to say OH NO I WILL GET IT DONE HONEY you work all day and than take care of the kids..OH HELL NO he says sure you could do that. :x

[Jai]

Sarah go home and tell him, "ya know, I changed my mind. im NOT raking the yard. get off yo butt and go ahead and rake it!" GEEZ MEN!! You have to S-P-E-L-L everything OUT for them!! :x Tell him it'll be good quality time for him and Cy. :lol:

My DH is the SAME way. I try hinting around that way I dont sound like Im nagging but it just doesnt work. He has to be asked/TOLD to do something or he wont do it. We even go through this every Wed on garbage day. :roll:

[sarahlynn]

and thats just it DH doesnt care at all if i leave him notes or tell him what to do..i just hate to have to do that..than i feel like i am nagging...

oh well i guess we are stuck with em..lucky for them they are cute or they would be out on the curb so fast.. :lol:

doesn anyone have one of those playyard thingies to put toddlers in outside/inside..i am thinking of gettin one for lucea for outside when i am working so she doesnt wander off..?

[Lost Bunny]

Sarah Wanna know something? My best friends *sarah and matt* have been together for about 2 years now and Plan on getting married. I just love seeing people who have the same name and are dating or married to someone with the same name!

[Bells614]

Hey Sarah, would the pack n play work? If you have one I guess.

**** BRU...I went in there to pick up a few extra 11 ounce bottles (my little piggy!) and I end up spending $55!!!! How the he// did that happen??? :roll:

Sorry I missed it earlier: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CLAUDIA!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

Does you Friend Sarah want another Matt? he is on sale today!!

~~~~~~~~~~

i didnt think of that but yes a pack n play would work..thast what i will use so i dont have to buy anything else..GOOD THINKIN!

i always do that when i go shopping..i went to get milk the other day and had a $125 grocery bill and nothing to show for it..

~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok lucea is now 10 months and 1 week...i feed her mostly table food at home when we eat supper..but she still has baby food at daycare..when do you stop buying babyfood all together?

what are your babies eating and how old are they..

[Bells614]

Well, we just started Manda on meat the other day. And she LOVES the Just Tomatoes products. I've made baby food cubes all along and she might get some once a day or every other day. I have a feeling I'll be throwing out some baby food :cry: I figure the days of baby food are coming to an end very soon, she flips out when I'm eating something and she is not getting some of it.

[haydensmom]

Hayden flips out when he doesn't get what we're eating, too. Usually I'll feed him and then I'll eat and it doesn't matter - full or hungry, he wants our food darn it!!!

Debbie, you soooooo need to play hooky! That would be great! Especially since it's getting so nice! We could do the outlets or the park or anything!

Hayden was so grumpy this afternoon. He just went down for a nap :roll: His schedule has been off since the time change. Man! Stupid time change... although I love the evenings having longer light!

[DIVADLX]

My brain only half functions these days, so I hardly remember what I wanted to respond to by the time I hit "post reply" or whatever the button says.

Stella resisted her nap in a big way too... but I resisted her resistance and she was out like a light quicker than almost any nap as of late!

I need to sell some Mei Tais... next week is DH's birthday and we are so broke. With the pneumonia last week, my paycheck this friday is going to be -$64 (health insurance.) Yikes! I can't wait until this living paycheck-to-paycheck thing is a thing of the past!

Sarah - I do that sometimes too. When I was really sick and DH was being a pain last week I said "why don't you just take me to my mother's and she can take care of me!" and he said "ok, are you sure." "No you jackarse, you weren't supposed to say that! You were supposed to say 'no hon, I'll take care of you!'" I too hate nagging and leaving lists and telling him how to do every little thing. But he is the light of Stella's life, so I can't dismember him just yet...

;)

[tralynne75]

I hear ya with the DH. Mine will do anything for anyone buut me!!! Drew will say he is cleaning but noe=rmally half-a$$ does things and then what he does do is all wrong. How hard is it to fold clothes and put them in the right drawers??? My gosh, he has his side and I have mine. But I find my shirts and pants in his drawers after an hour search and sometimes his underware is in my drawer. :shock:

We took Katie to the playground today. She cried most of the time. I hope she was just sleepy. I got a few pics, i will post later (when i feel like getting off my butt to ge the camera..hehe) Dh went with us and after 5 mins he was ready to go.

[MarchMommy]

i love taking madi to the park. we went yesterday and my darned camera died, but i got some cute shots.

im so behind on this thread...sorry gals!!


OHHHH...my mom and stepdad bought Madi an elmo TMX...that thing CRACKS me up....i was dying laughing!!

[HollyJo]

I think I like Elmo TMX more than Caiden does! My favorite line is, "Give Elmo a break please!!" I put Elmo away for a little while because all Caiden wants to do is drag Elmo around the house by his eyeballs. :P

Okay, can I just say how jealous I get of the comments like, "My DS/DD freaks out if I don't feed him/her what I'm eating." Or that they're pretty much eating only table food by 9 months. I think food has been my biggest stressor as a parent. I mean, obviously C is far from starving, but geeeeeez... food is such a struggle sometimes.

I'm SOOOOOOO excited. Caiden and I are going with my in-laws to Cancun for a week at the end of this month. Well today my FIL called and said he found a great deal on a ticket so that DH can come too! He originally wasn't going to b/c he thought he couldn't have the time off, but since he can he is coming with us now. I'm so excited that he gets to be there for C's first swim in the ocean. :D

[DIVADLX]

Yahoo for Cancun for the whole family!

Just let me know when my ticket is ready - Stella and I will be there.

Buenos Dias, muy bonita senora... see how helpful I can be!

[newmami]

Yay for vacations to Cancun Holly!! the sea is beautiful and peaceful, Caiden will have a blast!!!

Sarah, Dani stopped eating baby food around 11 months, she decided she didn't wanted it anymore, so we went to table foods... now she would eat ANYTHING!!
We wento to Kobe's yesterday night, she tried the soup, salad, all veggies, chicken, rice, noodles... IT WAS INSANE!!! the best part is she wa feeding herself with the soup spoon, and then used it to eat her veggies!! (forgot the camera, how dumb is that???) And she clapped like a maniac once the cook was done with the show!! she was GREAT!!!

So next week Dani is going back to the old daycare... I have mixed feelings about it... she is so happy now on the new one!!! **sigh** only couple more weeks

Christi, can we do for POTW newborn/recent picture comparison???

[Bells614]

Well DH did not get any better last night. He better turn it around today...he my find himself on the front step. :evil: What is in the air????

I went to Wal-Mart to pick up some things FOR HIM (it's just easier if I go) and come home to a screaming baby, a ticked off DH, and he crashed my computer again! I'm blaming the stupid computer games...never had problems until he started playing that dumb thing. Then I go to put the baby down for the night, god forbid he do it on a work night and come out of the baby's room to him laying in bed watching tv. The house is a wreck and it's hot, it's March and it's 75 degrees. So I clean up EVERYTHING. I put Amanda down in a onesie and it seems this child can't sleep unless in a footed blanket sleeper! It was a rough night, until I changed her into a blanket sleeper and she slept like a rock. ARGH!

So I get to take the computer in again...it's warranty runs out on April 5, so it has to get fixed and stay fixed!

Girls, I'm sorry to keep complaining. We generally have NO problems. I honestly don't know what has gotten into him. He did great when I first went back to work and now he is just being a dope. I don't get it.

[newmami]

I am so sorry Kelly that DH is being such an arse!! I hope it is just a fluke and he gets back to normal!!
I guess all DH have their days, just like we do... Dh can also be an arse sometimes, but then everything is fine and dandy!!

Vent your heart away!! that is what we are here for you!!

PAM, WHERE ARE YOU WOMAN???????????????????

I forgot to tell you, DH wrote me a bday note from Dani, it was soooo cute it made me cry in the restaurant!! and then the card he gave me, Oh my God!! tears again!!! after all the crap I put him through (specially now that I feel like a beached whale) he has the time to tell me how much he loves me, what a wonderful mom & wife I am, and how he knows I am the woman he is meant to spend the rest of his life with!!! :cry: **sob**

[chellebelle32]

Oh, Claudia, that is so sweet. I'm glad you had a wonderful birthday.

Michelle

[sarahlynn]

good morning ladies...its your official APA junkie logging on :shock:

HA! i really do have to get some work done today so if you all wouldnt mind taking a break from apa so i have nothing new to read that would be wonderful.. :wink:

so i got cy this shirt for his school dance..ya know what it says

"SMOOTH AS BUTTA" :lol:

today is luceas day back at the pediatrician...cross your fingers the fluid is gone and she is good to go..and also send me lots of strength to stand my ground on NO MORE antibiotics..NO MORE NO MORE :evil:

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh Sarah, GOOD LUCK!!! We go back this week too, I have a feeling we will be going the way of tubes. :(

[newmami]

Good luck to both of you girls!!! Sarah, stay strong, you are doing what is BEST for Lucea!!!

It is almost 12 in here and I have done NOTHING for work!! well, if I had something to do.........

So I am going to see the Nutricionist next week.... what am I supposed to do until that day?? just guess what is OK for me to eat???? :roll:

Our neightbor (he is 15) is a pathethic little creep whose only interest is videogames... well his mom got him a PS2 used that was crap, but he has a game for it, and we have a PS2, so he has been stalking our house this week to borrow the PS2... Yesterday he was waiting outside when I got home, so I was rude to him and told him DH was the one who made the decision about borrowing the PS2... can you believe he knocked on our door at 10:30 pm, just to get the stupid thing???? DH didn't answer, but he is fed up with the creep, so he is going to talk to him... if he doesn't, I have a BEAUTIFUL speech on how pathetic his life is, ready for him!!
15?!?!? shouldn't he be chasing girls and going to the mall to be an obnoxious teenager???????

[sarahlynn]

honestly i wouldnt allow my son to go to the neigbors to borrow a video game..how rude


So get this..my DH calls me last night and says..whatcha doing..i say getting ready to take your x box outside and run it over what are you doing.. :lol: he says why is cy playing it to much.. :? UMMM i say no yo play to much before you sleep when you wake all the time..ah yeah iplay it to much..so i say didnt you notice the kitchen floors are full of dog prints..NO i dont see that stuff you need to leave me notes when you need something done.. :roll:

[MarchMommy]

Good Luck to Lucea! i hope shes all clear!!!

what kind of parent lets their kid knock on someones door at 10:30 at night? :evil: :evil:

holly, so great that your DH gets to go to Cancun!!! im jealous!!!

Claudia, your DH is very sweet to give you such a neat card!!

[without]

Cludia, how sweet of you DH. Isn't that the way it goes just when you are about to give up hope they do some thing so sweet. I am right with you about not getting work done today. Between emails, James phone calls and text messages and APA nothing is getting done.


I am sorry but if some kid knocked on my door at 10:30 at night he would have to keep on knocking because I would be asleep! LOL I try to be in bed aroud 10 because we get up around 4. :shock:

Sarah, I hope Cy has fun and that shirt sounds cute. Morgan has one that says who you calling shrimp? Funny thing is its a size 12 months so I don't know if she will ever grow into it! LOL

[newmami]

He he Sarah!!! your DH fits the description of OBLIVION!!! now you know what to do, leave notes EVERYWHERE!!! starting with the xbox!!!

The problem with the neighbor is that there is no father, and the mom is out most of the nights... not sure how great of a parent she is, but I constantly hear her SCREAMING to her kids (I live on a townhome)
Anyways, I am glad DH is fed up, because I was on Monday!! I mean, if you want to borrow something, wait until the other person tells you when, but insisting 24/7??? STALKER!!!!

Between emails, James phone calls and text messages
Ooohhh!!! so things are going well, huh?? I DEMAND DETAILS!!!

[without]

Things were pretty rocky the past few days but we worked it out. Come to find out I was worrying over nothing. LOL He had misplaced his phone and wasn't just not calling. LOL We have a date on Saturday. He is cooking me dinner and then we are going with his friend and his wife to see 300. James is so nice. I am so thankful to have an adult friend! I think I was starting to act more like a 1 year old than 29! LOL

[newmami]

Oooh he is making you dinner, that is adorable!!
I am glad things are working out Pam, you deserve THE BEST!!!

[without]

yep, Friday night he is going to put a brisket on to smoke so we can eat it on Saturday. LOL I am not much of a meat eater but for him I will make the exception! LOL

[sarahlynn]

oh man that sucks for the kids that their mom is a whack job :( but at 15 you should have some common sense that 10:30 is to late to wander around barrowing games :lol:


WEll DH just informed me he needs a motorcycle to save on gas..he pays around $200 a month in gas for his truck so a motorcycle would save money? but he doesnt just want any cycle he need a harley..thank god he doesnt have the credit to go buy one :D HE HE HE


OH YAY another date..that is so wonderful..

[without]

My brother and his wife went through the whole have to have motor cycle thing to save on gas then he got it and doesn't use it that often because its to hot, cold, wet or dry. :roll:

[sarahlynn]

exactly...ugh i woudl have to hide his truck keys so he would have no choice..and living in ND you dont have 12 months to drive the darn things...its more liek 6 months maybe 7 and than when winter rolls around we would have a cycle payment and gas for the truck..UMMM NO!

[DIVADLX]

HAHA! A motorcycle in North Dakota! What an image...

Claudia - what a sweet card! I would have cried too!

Pam - (whistles) sounds like its gettin' good... boump chicka boump boump

Stella slept until 10:40 this morning! Suh-weet!

[sarahlynn]

*sniffle* i guess we need tubes..our visit with the ENT is on 4/16..i wish it wasnt so darn far in advance..but the doc who did Cys has a family emergency so all the appts are falling on the other ENT so its gonna be a wait..i guess its better to just get it done and be done with this ear crap..i dont want her to suffer for long..and my doc said right away NO MORE ANTIBIOTICS! YES! :D


come on now ND is full of motorcycles...and i tell you what the minute the ice is off the roads and the temp is above 40 they are on the streets..heck even in november htey are riding..were hard core ya know :lol:

[MarchMommy]

tubes? oh no, im sorry for little Lucea!!!!! my neighbors daughter is getting tubes next week!!

i hope it all goes well!!!

[DIVADLX]

In my mind ND is just perpetually covered in snow... I know I am wrong because you grow asparagus (and wild too I hear!) but I just always see snow when I think ND.

Oh ok, can I just say here too how excited I am for you Christi!!!

Me next! Me next!!!

I just did the math in my head and I should be ovulating the thursday after we get back from Hawaii which means Hawaii will be BDing, not just doin' it for nothin'! Yahoo!!!!

tubes... aw... if it is any consolation, I had them when I was about 2. All I remember is the doctor telling me I had bunny rabbits in my ears which freaked me out because I didn't understand how they got in there, and would they just come hopping out?

[EvandAl]

Aww poor Lucea. My neice is getting tubes on the 20th :(

Christi I cannot say how happy I am for you!!!!

Okay I totally suck!!! I hit someones car today!!! :shock: I live in an apt. and we have really small parking spots that I hate, plus I drive a Suburban. Well I was flustered, John was screaming and had been the whole way home from the store (15 minutes), I parked in one spot and it was too tight so I couldn't get John out, so I pull back out and see another spot, it's between a car and a small island, well I bumped the car :roll: I have no clue who's car it is, so I put a note on it. I only saw a smudge from my bumper so I'm hoping they don't flip out on me. I feel so bad though, I've never hit another car before!! Now I keep looking out the window to see if they have found the note.....I hate the waiting! Okay I just had to confess to someone

[haydensmom]

Christi, I have to tell you on here that I'm just soooo excited for you. I've had this sneaking suspicion that you've been pregnant all along - just a feeling - and no I'm not psychic! :lol: Wahoo! Also, the baby is due on MY birthday!! :wink: That's cool!

Wow there's a lot to catch up on so if I miss you, sorry...

Pam - That's so great things are going well! Let us know how Saturday goes - brisket and all.

Sarah - Sorry to hear about tubes but I'm glad she's not on antibiotics anymore. Poor thing!

Ali - Ick about hitting a car. I hope they don't freak! I'm sure it will be fine.

CANCUN?!?!? I'm so jealous, Holly! Will you send me some sand??? :lol:


Hayden got his first robeez today! They're so stinkin' cute! I love 'em!

[tralynne75]

Man I missed something, i kept reading how excited people are for Christi and I was like huh???? Then i finally show near the dancing man a due date. Ok can I just say I am jealous.


YAY!!! Christi!! Now you will have to be overdue with this one also because my bday is the 12th and that would be a perfect due date..lol!!!!

[haydensmom]

Tracy our birthdays are only 4 days apart! :D I didn't know that!

[YellowRose]

Wow! I've missed a lot in the thread! I can't believe it's still going!!!!

Pam- that's so great about James! I'm glad things are going well for you!!

Christi- I am also SO happy for you.... and I must admit... I'm a teensy bit jealous!!! LOL I want to be pregnant again soooo badly! I can't wait for the next baby!!!!!

Sarah- I'm sorry to hear about the tubes, I'm sure she'll do just fine!

[without]

Alison, how did things go with the car? Have you heard any thing from them? All I can say is at least you were honest and left a note! One time my grandma did the same thing in the mall parking lot. She then backed up and drove a few rows away and parked there. She never even told the people she hit the car. :shock:

So girls last night James had a girly moment LOL! He asked me why I didn't want him to met my parents? I was like what? Its not that I don't want you to meet them I just thought it was a little soon for that! I haven't even let him meet Morgan yet! LOL I had to laugh though! It was kind'a cute. :wink:

[MarchMommy]

thanks ladies...i have to say that im feeling ALOT of emotions right now, happy, sad, guilt, worry, scared....all those. i was NOT expecting to get pregnant so fast....nor was i expecting this news yesterday.
i took a HPT last night (to have a HPT for the baby book) and i ran outside to dh and said "hey im pregnant!!!!" it was funny!!!
im just shocked....and now this changes EVERYTHING!!!
ill probably have a scheduled C-section this time around.
and i had to go back on the lovenox!, had my first shot last night :( forgot how much i hated them!!!!

i was looking forward to the wines and cheeses and the occasional paris cigarette....but hey, thats ok....i can still eat the cheese!!!

[haydensmom]

MM I am just so happy for you! So how far along are you exactly? You need a new ticker! :wink: You can have two! One for Madi and one for baby.

:vibes:

[newmami]

Sorry about the tubes Sarah!! but I am glad that Lulu will be out of antibiotics.

Christi, I am so happy for you I could cry!! I know about all those feelings, been there, done that, still have them from time to time, so HONESTLY feel free to PM me at any time!!!!

Pam, how cute that James wants to meet your parents!! he sounds like a nice man, and I am happy he is treating you well. If he does something stupid, I will beat the crap out of him, ok????

OK Ladies, who is next on the BFP list????????? we can have more than one, ok????

Ali, sorry about the bump in the car, at least you were nice enough to leave a note.... I can imagine how complicated it is to drive a Suburban! I have space issues with my minivan :lol: :oops:

So any big plans for the weekend? Dh wants to go to Disney (our passes expire next week, and we are not renewing them for a while) and then Sunday to an Art Festival... I need a wheelchair!!! all the walking really puts a toll on my back... but I want Dani to see the animals and hopefully do some petting with the sheeps!!

Glad to see I am not the only one who thinks ND is only snow!!! :lol:

[sarahlynn]

OH Christi i know allthe emotions that come along with another pregnancy and baby and your such an amazing mama youll do absolutely fine fine fine..how did you tell your DH? any crazy wacky ways?

all these old mamas becoming new mamas is giving me the baby itch..but when i think of a tiny baby i get the heebeejeebees' and all weirded out :lol: you all better still be on herein 5 years when i go for #3..

I woke up this morning and ther eis a thin layer of snow all over..how can it be 75 last weekend and snow today??? baffeling..

[haydensmom]

I've only been to Disney once and I totally want to go back again!

Pam it sounds like he's sweet. That's funny though - a girl moment. :lol:

[stephiegirl]

Sarah-- Sorry about the tubes. I had them as a kid too. I hope it makes the ear infections better!

MM-- I am sooooo happy for you! I really hope I will be able to be pg with you. With my track record though it may be a couple of years..... :(

Pam--- Keep us posted on James!

[EvandAl]

Well the note was off the car that I hit last night and no one came by to say anything :) Yay!!

[newmami]

Probably the bump on the car wasn't even worth it Ali, but yeah!!!

Can someone please send me some motivation to work?? I have to box TONS of things to be sent to filing, instead I am just here...... UGH!! what is the point of coming to work when you have nothing to do????....... oh wait!! the paycheck!!!

[MarchMommy]

alison...im sorry you hit a car...that sucks!!!

stephanie...im pulling for you!! i wish you a BFP soon!!

[newmami]

Anytime Christi!! even if you want to talk, I will PM you my numbers
I still have those guilt feelings with Dani... and probably that is why I keep doing EVERYTHING for her, even though thinks like baths are becoming challenging with the big belly!!!

[without]

You girls are making me want a baby! :?



That reminds me.........Dating rules? What are they? I mean last week when James tried to Kiss me I froze because we all no you don't kiss on the first date right? But I so wanted to! LOL So what are the rules I don't want to come off like a total slut to him but I don't know what the rules are now days. :roll:

[EvandAl]

[without]

Tee he he.... I may get a realy smuchy smuchy this weekend!

MY MOMENT OF TRUTH!
*******Its been 5 years since I french kissed any one :oops: What if I forgot how! :shock: LOL

[newmami]

You will remember Pam, don't worry!!

This whole thing makes me feel like I am on highschool again!! LOVE IT!!

Sarah, I hear what you are saying, I have those days at work, where I wish I could really say what I am thinking... I just give the answer people are looking for, and then to myself what I REALLY want to say!!!

[Jai]

do you ever have those days on APA where you just haev to bite your tongue in everything you post..?

today is my day..everytime i start to respond i delete it causei just seem to be out with a vengence today..

I have those days a lot! :lol:

[sarahlynn]

OH PAM you never forget how to do that...i think its been that long for me as well HA! :lol:

[CandiceLeigh]

Wow, I have missed a lot! I read everything, but my memory is eh, so bare (or is it bear?) with me! 8)

Christi, I AM SOOOOO EXCITED FOR YOU!! I was even telling DH about you last night! :mrgreen: He was like, "Which one of your friends?" I said, "One of my on-line friends!!" He just looked at me like this :roll: I was excited though, I had to tell someone! :lol:

Alison, sorry about the fender bender. Hopefully your neighbor is really laid back and doesn't even care.

Sarah, I could totally picture your DH on a bike. However, I also see him riding in the snow...Sorry ND will always be covered in snow in my eyes. Oh and you also have an accent like that police lady did in Fargo. :lol:

Pam, good luck with the french kissing. I personally, never really liked french kissing. My DH unfortunately does! :roll:

Claudia, I want to go to Disney! If I come to Florida, can I stay with you? :wink: Also, I demand PG pictures of you!! I've only seen 1 picture of your belly and it was only like 1/2 of it b/c the pic was of Dani, not you.

Jess, how are things with DH? I know last week wasn't going your way. Hope things are better! :D

As for me, I am going to see my OB next month. I still haven't gotten a period since I went off the BC. That was in December! :shock: Plus, DH says my stomach feels hard...I told him I'm just fat. I've taken 3 HPT though and they were all negative, so I don't think I'm PG. I would like to know what is going on though! Wish me luck! Well, when I get an appointment, wish me luck! I'm going to wait till next month I think, but I would like to go sooner...

[sarahlynn]

Sarah, Oh and you also have an accent like that police lady did in Fargo.

:shock: I am so offended by that one ya know .. :roll:

AND I SO SO SO HOPE YOU GET A POSITIVE SOON CANDICE!! we ar going to have so many new babies on APA i just love it

[CandiceLeigh]

Sarah, Oh and you also have an accent like that police lady did in Fargo.

:shock: I am so offended by that one ya know .. :roll:


Really? I'm sorry!! :(

[without]

Candice...........good luck with the TTC again! When will you test?

[newmami]

Ok Candice, before you come here and beat me... this are the only ones I have, usually I am behind the camera!! and honestly with the current size of my belly, I don't think I would fit on the camera (DH said don't worry, I have a wide angle lens!!! :roll: )

I hope you are PG Candice!!!! when is AF due???

[without]

Those are great pictures! I need a shirt that makes my boobs look that good for my date this weekend! :lol:

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh, I love the 2nd picture!!! :D So, so cute!!

As for AF, I have no idea when she is due because I haven't gotten her since I went off the BC. :? We'll see what the dr says.

[haydensmom]

Claudia, you look incredible! Honestly you look fabulous! I WANNA BE PREGO! :hissy: Sorry..... :oops:

I have a very hard time biting my tongue - a lot of times I don't. Lol. I don't care. :lol:

CANDICE!!! Get in there and take a pee test ASAP! What if you really were? But honestly, I am secretly hoping that you and I get bfps for April!

[DIVADLX]

Look at you cutie Claudia! Those pictures are great!

Pam - hah! Add me to the slut list... the night DH and I became romatically involved he spent the night... we didn't do more than kiss lightly because we had had pizza and chocolate and I new my mouth was like a$$ so I wouldn't allow anything else. He came over the next night, I was all brushed and flossed and...

boump chika boump boump...

Give me a B! Give me an F! Give me a P! All for Candiceleigh!

Christi - are ya still freakin'? I told my DH about it too, he was like "who's Christi?" I said "marchmommy" and he said "oh Madison's mommy?"

Yeah, you know you're on APA too much when...

[CandiceLeigh]

CANDICE!!! Get in there and take a pee test ASAP! What if you really were? But honestly, I am secretly hoping that you and I get bfps for April!

I took one about 3 weeks about but it was a BFN...do you really think I should test again? I would looove to be PG with you too Jess!! :vibes: Since Chris was born in April, I think it would be cool to get PG in April!

[newmami]

I want more second time mommies!!!

Christi - are ya still freakin'? I told my DH about it too, he was like "who's Christi?" I said "marchmommy" and he said "oh Madison's mommy?"

Yeah, you know you're on APA too much when...

HE HE HE!!! guilty as charged :oops: :oops: :oops:

Thank you for the compliments, you made my day!!!

[without]

Truthfuly.... I am kind'a glad its my time of the month or I may just push my morals out the window! :oops: Any one know of a way to make AF stop by Saturday? :lol:

Claudia those pictures are great! I need a shirt like that for my girls HAHA

[newmami]

Hey Pam!! if it feels like the right thing to do, GO FOR IT and ENJOY IT!!! but only you know for sure if you are ready for that!!
The secret is NO REGRETS!! if you make the decision to do something, make sure you would not regret it!!

Is my office the only company who pays to have a stupid woman come and DUST THE PLANTS???????????? she is such a pain in the rear!! I have to go open all this offices for her, so she can dust & water the plants!!!! :roll:

[haydensmom]

Truthfuly.... I am kind'a glad its my time of the month or I may just push my morals out the window! :oops: Any one know of a way to make AF stop by Saturday? :lol:

Lol - nope!

Give me a B! Give me an F! Give me a P! All for Candiceleigh!

Where are the pompoms?? LMBO!

Seriously Candice, take a test already. If not for your own sanity, for OURS!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

[sarahlynn]

OH I LOVE PREGGO PICS! actually makes me miss my big baby belly..


I am so not offended by the north dakota accent comment..i probubly sound just like her :shock:

[MarchMommy]

Candice...TEST girl...i took one 3 weeks ago and it was BFN too...then yesterday got a BFP. TEST

Yea im still freaking, but doing better. im sllooooowly realizing my symptoms now, shortness of breath, frequent peeing....being tired...etc. i was just not paying attention to my body i suppose!!

Claudia, you look AMAZING! so happy and glowing!

[haydensmom]

Ok MM, you getting a bfp is doing bad things to me!! I want to try when dh gets home. I should be ovulating soon. I feel like poking some holes.

Then again, I don't really want a Christmas baby. I'd hate to lump the bday and Christmas all together. But whatever happens! What do you girls think? Any December birthdays? I guess you could always just make a bigger deal of the half-birthday.

I gave Hayden my old cell phone to play with and I haven't heard a peep out of him in like, 30 minutes. :lol: He's just laying on the floor rolling around with it.

[sunshine]

:lol: cell phones are the BEST toys, I tell ya. That's what Gavin plays with when we go grocery shopping all the time.

I'm sooooooooo happy for you, Christi! And I bet you have a boy this time!

Jess....go for it! :D

[without]

I am a christmas baby (29th) and I don't like it. Growing up every one was out of town visiting family on my birthday so we started having my party in early Dec. :roll:


My neighbor just called and Grant is in my house! :evil: I am so tempted to call the police! I am sick of this! I am buying new locks tomorrow!

[newmami]

Pam, why does he still have a key to your house?? isn't he supposed to have supervised visitation??
I would change the locks ASAP and let him know next time he goes to your house unannounced, or when you are out, you are calling the cops on him for trespassing!!!

[CandiceLeigh]

Ya'll have convinced me, I will test tonight or tomorrow. I don't think I'm PG though, I don't feel like I am anyway...

Jess, Chris loves my cell phone! Which is probably why it shuts off on it's own now. :roll: Attack DH tonight! He'll love it and you might just get that bean!! :D

Pam, what is he doing there?!? :shock: Totally change the locks!!

[katie]

I think I may just have to give Abby an old cellphone when she wakes up from her nap. She loves trying to play with mine - I never thought about the old ones we have around here.

All the BFPs and talk about TTC is so exciting. It makes me a little sad though because I know it will be probably at least 2 1/2 more like 3 years before we have another one. There is just no way we could have another one until DH is out of law school. But it's a good reason to make me stick around here longer because I want to see all ya'lls cute new babies when they get here!

[without]

He doesn't have a key! He popped the lock on the back door! I am getting new ones that you have to have a number code to get in! I am so mad at him! I feel like I have been fighting him all week and he keeps doing bad things like breaking into my house but saying .... I was just wanting to clean the house for you I know you have been busy grooming every night this week Blah Blah Blah. So its I did some thing wrong and you should say thank you to me! Ahhh!

[sunshine]

OMG, Candice...I so hope you are preggers! That would be awesome!

Pam...no way! WTH is he doing in YOUR house? Man...he's got balls...get those locks changed and soon, hon.

Claudia...LOVE the pics of you and Danielle! You're both adorable!

[sarahlynn]

OH man yes get new locks..thas scary

[sarahlynn]

have any of you ladies had a VBAC?

i keep thinking about when/if i ever have a #3 about having a VBAC and is it pretty safe?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just cant stop smiling when i think of all the new babies joining APA..I am so happy for all you mommies..and so excited to see new baby pictures..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

so ever since i told DH i was going to run over his xbox he has called me every day to ask whati need done around the house :roll: and i have now resorted to calling him our roomate at home..poor lucea will be so confused..but i figure if he is going ot live on the couch than he can be "THE ROOM MATE" every morning i say LOOK LUCEA OUR ROOMATE IS SLEEPING! :lol:

~~~~~~~~~~~~

so what do you hide from your husbands?

i hide the oreos on the top shelf in the cupboard in a tuperware container so DH doesnt know we have them :shock:

[without]

i hide the oreos on the top shelf in the cupboard in a tuperware container so DH doesnt know we have them


I am sorry I just had to laugh at that! :lol: That so sounds like some thing I would do! If not EX DH would sit and eat the whole bag before I got 1!

[chellebelle32]

I put chocolate in the crisper drawer in the fridge. There is no way he will look in a place that is for healthy food. :lol:

Michelle

[without]

Good idea! :wink:

[HollyJo]

so what do you hide from your husbands?

i hide the oreos on the top shelf in the cupboard in a tuperware container so DH doesnt know we have them :shock:

:lol:

I kid some Caramel Delight Girl Scout Cookies. I figured if DH knew I bought them he'd whine about how overpriced they are and then eat most of the box. I figured, if I didn't tell him I bought them, I wouldn't have to listen to him whine AND I wouldn't have to share. :lol: They don't put enough cookies in those boxes anyways to share. ;)

[haydensmom]

I think the only thing I have hidden from dh is a bag of love cards that I randomly leave for him. We're romantic like that. :lol: :oops: He also has a bag - he told me so that I didn't wonder why there was something underneath his bathroom sink and look while I was cleaning.

[YellowRose]

Ok MM, you getting a bfp is doing bad things to me!!

I'm glad you said something, Jess, because ME TOO!! Ever since I read about Christi's bfp, I have seriously been considering TTC again. I'm just not sure if I'm ready yet.... I have a LOT of mixed emotions about having another baby, but I sooooo want another one!!!!!

I hide chocolate from my Dh. I LOOOOVE my chocolate and don't like to share!!!! :lol:

[sarahlynn]

oh my that is a good idea to..if its not on the top shelf of the fridge my DH doesnt know where it is..example..i made chicken spinich alfredo lasagna the other day and put it on the bottom shelf..he never saw it..

the other day he was changeing lucea on the couch and left her there to throw the diaper away..ok with cys supervision but still so when he got up she rolled ot the end of the couch and i screamed at him WATCH HER MATT! loud to :oops:

well two days later i was changing her and sitting right by her and she flipped over and YUP you guess it fell right off the couch on her head..i never told him.cause man i yelled at him for not watching her and i let her fall :roll:

[haydensmom]

Ok MM, you getting a bfp is doing bad things to me!!

I'm glad you said something, Jess, because ME TOO!! Ever since I read about Christi's bfp, I have seriously been considering TTC again. I'm just not sure if I'm ready yet.... I have a LOT of mixed emotions about having another baby, but I sooooo want another one!!!!!

I hide chocolate from my Dh. I LOOOOVE my chocolate and don't like to share!!!! :lol:

Hey you know, April is a good time to start. :wink: :lol: I felt torn a few weeks ago, but I really want the two of them to be close. The closer the time gets, though, the more excited I get!

I've thought about starting in April. Of course, I have to talk to Dh and see what he thinks. I'm just not sure I'm ready for another one yet. I'm VERY torn. One minute I think it'd be fun to have another one, the next I'm like "WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU THINKING?!?!!" My biggest concern is, I don't want to rob Caleb of his babyhood. I want him to stay little for as long as possible, I don't want to push him to grow up because of another one on the way, KWIM?

[sarahlynn]

don't want to push him to grow up because of another one on the way, KWIM?

this is what makes me really wait .. mainly because i was able to give cy 6 years of jsut him time and i really want to be able to give lucea years of just her time as a little one..but another one wouldnt be all that bad :lol: oh well life deals us cards and we just play them..who knows what will happen in all our lives..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok can i be sad for a minute..cys pediatrican just called with his appt for the psychologist..i am glad we are getting him checked to see what the scoop is on his inability to concentrate, focus, remain still for more than a nanosecond..but it made me cry..like i am doing something wrong as a parent. :( like i went wrong somewhere..i know he is a great good and happy healhty child but i still feel like i did something wrong or didnt do something i should have

[MarchMommy]

Sarah you are a GREAT mother...dont feel for one second that you did something wrong because you didnt. i hope it all works out with Cy.

i dont think having another baby will force madison to grow up. if anything it will help keep her young and fun. she deserves a sibling to play with, as good as she is with other kids. and i would have LIKED for them to be 2 years apart, and i thought that it would take us longer to get pregnant, but it happened this way, and this is the way its supposed to be
:D

[sarahlynn]

me and my sister are exactly 2 years apart and though we just about killed each other when we were young we couldnt be closer now..its great shareing things in life when we are both close in age..marrige, kids, jobs, we know what each other is going through and can be there for one another..maddie will be agreat big sister..

[tralynne75]

I told DH that Christi was preggo and he said that is great Madi will be a sister. DS came in the room and said oh Christi, she is the one in Concord right?? So my life is so patheic that DH and DS know your real names and your kids!!!! :?

I also want to TTC just because so many are preggo. But I do not want a May baby. Heck from March to June is out, then the end of Nov to end of Jan is out. I have very few months that I want to have a baby in. There are too many bdays,hoildays etc to spend money on. I already feel bad since Katie and Dylan are a week apart. Dylan had to have his party last month so I would have enough money for Katies 1st bday and for his present. Not to mention Dhs bday, Easter and our Ann is all in April. So April and May is going to kill me this year.

Jess we will have to celebrate our bdays together.

Sarah, you are a great mom!! And so great that you are looking into all this instead of just putting him on meds like so many do.

[newbie]

Good luck to you but please know that ADHD (which is what you seem to be speaking of) is genetic and NOTHING you did as a parent could cause those behaviors. You probably just didn't notice it as much because he had your undivided attention before. You are a fantastic mom who obviously loves her son or you wouldn't be seeking help. I hope you get some answers from the pedi. (If you need any input from the peanut gallery I am a certified to work with ADHD kids and I am one myself :oops: )

[DIVADLX]

Sarah - you are a fantastic mama, and nothing that is going on with Cy is your fault... blame DH. I am just kidding... but really, don't feel like you are a bad parent.

TTC... well, you all know where I am with THAT one. The BFPs floating around make it even harder. One more month! One more month!

I really wanted Stella and her sister (or brother) to be close in age too. It really bugs me that we have had to wait 5-6 months longer than we wanted to. BUT things happen for a reason, so we'll take it as it comes!

[tralynne75]

I had to come here to tell you all this. So I sweet talked DH into BDing tonight. He asked if he should use protection and I said uh no and was all excited we are TTC well it was short lived. :x

I have asked this question alot recently....How do you know if you are done having kids? I can't imagine not being able to have another baby, then again do I really want another one or is it I just love babies???? So how do you know when to stop?????

[without]

Thats a good question! I fear I will never really want to stop. I think my age and time will be the bigest factor for me. I always thought I only wanted one. Then I had Ms. M and I couldn't see me not having a house full!


Girls I have another dating question...... So James EX wife lives right down the road from me (like 4 houses up) so James drives by my house quite a bit. Last night he asked if he could stop in for just a minute to say HI. As much as I wanted to say yes Ms. M was still awake and playing in the living room. At what point is it OK to let a man be around your child. When I first started thinking about dating I thought I didn't want a man around her until I knew this guy would be sticking around for a while but now I am seeing that may not work as well as I thought. I just don't know what to do. I don't want to do any thing that might harm her when she is older by seeing a man come in for a few months and then not ever seeing him again. On the other hand I want her to know that its OK to have male friends. Also let me make it clear that I would never even hug a guy in front of her until I was sure he was going to be around for a long long time! But it would be nice to be able to have him come over and eat dinner with us and or watch a movie some thing like that. His son is wanting to met me and I am OK with because he isn't my son but when it comes to Ms. M I am so protective!

[newmami]

Oooh!!! everything happens once I leave from work!!

Ok, for those of you debating about TTC so soon, I don't think I am depriving Dani of her childhood, she is a happy kid and she enjoys doing silly stuff, and I would NEVER expect her to grow up to be the big sister. She will be treated the same way she is now, and I would not have any bigger expectations for her just because Christi is here. She deserves to enjoy her childhood, and I would be ****ed if I do something to prevent that!! (maybe I should print this as a reminder)!!

Ok, so the next in line for BFP are Jess, Candice and Jenn right (random order, ok??)

Sarah, I would have NEVER considered a VBAC because I don't think my babies would ever FIT through the birth canal!!
About your son, DH's son was the same way, he would act up, start talking get up, yell, etc in school, he has a 2 sec attention span (unless it is videogames :roll: ) and would not sit still for more than 10 min... this happened when he was 6-7 years old... Dh never had him tested for ADHD (a whole story) but now he is doing fine, he can stay still at school and can pay more attention to the teacher, he is doing awesome in math & science... for him it was just a phase, and he grew over it... maybe DH being sick is making him anxious???

Done with babies, I always knew I wanted 2. I have 2 sisters and we had our rough times... so 2 was the magic number for me!! besides, I am too old to be PG again!!!

Pam, I met DH's son (he was almost 3) when DH and I were already engaged... he wanted to wait until things were going somewhere, which I respect
I guess you can go out with him to a park or something and bring Morgan, so she can meet him and know Mommy has a friend. I guess the secret is how attached she gets to him, so if Morgan thinks of him just as another person (like a coworker of yours or something) she would be safe if things don't work out.... just a thought!!

Hmm how do you know your done..not sure..i htink the whole reason i am spaceing the babies out this many years is to draw things out..you know what i mean..i love being pregnant i love being a new mom and old mom and i think if i had one right now i would wnt anothe..but if i wait another 5 years 4years i might be ok to be done~ thats a whole lot of confuseing now that i read it..but it makes sense in my head :lol:

i actully laid in bed last night and thought about another baby and than i thought i am kind of really content wiht my Cy and Lucea..so who knows..and besides i cannot afford daycare for three children :lol: i pay $500 now anohter one would put us at around $900 a month :shock: UH NO!!!!

i do blame DH for Cy's attention span issue. DH was the same way when he was young..i think his mom had him on ridilin..he should be on it now..he cant focus at all..he will be doing 500 things at once and not get anything done.. :roll:

but we did have a long talk last night about our relationship and him sleeping on the couch,playing x-box, what i need, what i expect, how i feel ya know all that stuff and we both felt much better about things this morn..and of course the BD'in helped to :lol:

I dont think havign babies close takes anything away from them being babies..i just had so many eyars alone with cy that i think i was spoiled and got to do so much with just him...and now with him older and lucea i get a lot of time to be wiht just her..so having another one right away scares me that i wouldnt be able to give that one on one time...UGh this makes me think of an old friend of mine who had 4 children pretty close in age but the oldest girl always had to pick up the slack with the younger kids..she was almost like mom #2.. needless to say me and my friend got into it a few times about her taking care of her kids because it was not her daughters responsibility.. :( i wish we were still friends..(thats a whole nother story..i will haev to post about it)

Sarah, I am glad you had a heart to heart conversation with DH, and that you got some!!! :wink:
I am sure he is having tons of feelings with the M/S and everything, I know it hits people HARD!!! you are such a wonderful wife, I am glad he appreciates you!

I am with you on passing the responsability to the older children, so you can tend to the young ones... completely unfair!!

Psst, I have a date for my c/section: April 19!!! 1 month!!! :shock:
So I asked DH, what if baby is a boy??? his answer was: well his name would be Christopher Michael, and we would need some boys clothes... men are so practical!!!

Just jumping in to tell ya'll...Chris has to get tubes. :( I guess it's a good thing, but I'm also kinda scared. We go see the specialist today. Wish us luck!

Sorry for not responding to the other topics, I'm being self-centered today :cry:

ONE MONTH! Oh Claudia, it seems like you just got your bfp yesterday. I still can't believe Lumo and Marsha had theirs already. You're next, girl! All of these new second time moms! It's so awesome to see the first child and then wait for the next! Too cool.

Sarah, I'm glad you and dh had a talk (FINALLY)! And that you got some action! Boump chica bow wow!

Dh has this rash all over him. He's at the doctor's right now. I have to say that I'm disappointed because I wanted some action tonight, darnit! It may not be contagious, but it kinda skeeves me out. :yuck:

[sarahlynn]

OH Candice i can honestly say i know how you feel..been there with Cy and will be doing it againg with LuLu in another month..the surgery is simple..my sisters little guy got his done at a year and he was back at daycare rareingto go the next day..

[haydensmom]

Candice I'm sorry your little dude needs tubes, but hopefully they will make his quality of life so much better!! You can be self centered about that! Totally cool! :wink:

Candice - Gavin had to get tubes and I was completely freaked about it. The worst part was watching him be put to sleep. I don't want to scare you...but it's bad...you'll want to be prepared and maybe even have DH take Chris in for that part. The procedure is a breeze and they feel fine like right afterward. Hugs...it'll be ok.

Sarah - YAY for finally getting some, girly! Glad you and Dh had a heart to heart and hopefully he'll be changing and be more attentive.

Claudia- ONE month! I'm so excited Christina will be here soon. Seriously, if you do end up having a boy please call me...I have TONS and TONS of boy baby clothes.

I don't think that having children close in age forces one to grow up any faster. I want another one really badly. It was horrible bad when G was about 5 months old...I didn't think I'd be able to wait. But my biggest thing is my weight. I'm so scared to death that if I don't get back to my pre-pregnancy size now that I won't ever. Plus, age is always a factor too...I'll be 30 in June and I'm scared crapless to be preggers much after 31. Dang...why does being a woman have to be so darn hard?
