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

[newmami]

Candice, you can be selfish here, no need to apologize!! Hope everything goes ok, that the tubes work and Chris doesn't have to deal with ear infections again!! Please keep us posted!!

Debbie, I was also planning to lose some weight before getting PG again... I haven't gained that much and I hope I am able to BF so I can lose all the baby weight plus some.... the bright side I guess is that I only need to lose the baby weight once, instead of twice!!! :P
About age, well I just turned 36, so yeah! I understand the age issue!!!!

I had lunch with Dh, it was soooo nice!!! we used to do this every Friday, as he worked 4 days only!! I had such a wonderful time, it felt like a little date.... it is just wonderful to realize that no matter how many times they do "wrong" things (in our eyes), the love we have for our DH is always going to be stronger!!!... Baaaaaawww!! I just love him to pieces!!!

[DIVADLX]

Debbie - don't worry about it! I was 31 when I got PG and had Stella. I had the best pregnancy of anyone I know. I will be 33 when I get pg with #2 and 34 when I have her! Doesn't phase me a bit... I am healthier than I was when I was younger!

Claudia! I wish I lived closer to bring you a lasagna or something after you have the baby. I could come over and vacuum for you while you play with your girls.

Tubes - I think I mentioned this... it is hard for mamas, I don't doubt, but having been a kid with tubes in my ears, it really was nothing. I don't remember anything bad about it.

I posted about a pampered chef catalog party in the Marekt Place, and also an "ad" for my mei tais. If anyone is interested!

[sunshine]

How sweet you had a nice lunch with your hubby, Claudia. They're great, aren't they?

Girls, I'm getting ready to sign off for the weekend. Everyone be safe and have fun. Happy St. Patty's Day tomorrow. We're going to visit DH's parents this weekend...yay! Not really, but oh well. Their little doggie and the love of their lives hurt himself last night and is on some doggie scale of paralysis (sp?) a 3 out of 4...this isn't good. He can't move his hind legs at all. They've already spent over 2 grand for tests, MRI's, etc and now they're looking at spending $4K for surgery....this is nuts! Puppy prayers are appreciated.

Everyone have a great weekend. Love ya'll! :D

[newmami]

Have a wonderful weekend Debbie!!

Jenn, I saw your posts, if I get into the carrier fever, I may order one from you!! BTW I am scared of doing the Pampered Chef... DH and I are SUCKERS for kitchen gadgets!!!! :shock: :lol:

[sarahlynn]

worst part was watching him be put to sleep. I don't want to scare you...but it's bad :shock: LOL :lol:

I have watched CY be put out twice now..when he was 1 year old it was the easiest..try holding down a 7 year old who is yelling MAMA NOOOO DONT LET THEM TOUCH ME :cry: it was awful but i wouldnt allow him to go in wihtout his mama.. :roll:

That is one thing i have told myself is if i ever TTC again i want to be back to my somwhat old body...if i add more chunk to my badunkadunk LORDY LORDY :lol: HA...oh well just more to hold and love right :roll:

Debbie why not after 31? i think after 35 is considered high risk..i would like to be done with babies pretty young..so maybe i should wait to long if i decide on #3..ugh its such a hard hard choice..

[without]

Reminds me how long do you think it will be before my pampered C. comes in? I forgot I ordered! :shock: LOL


I hope you all have a great weekend!

[sarahlynn]

Have a great weekend Debbie...we'll be thinking of that little puppy..

[sarahlynn]

well i am kinda gettin excited about our little trip i am plannin with the kids..granted its not a big trip to the cities but hey its something right.

i booked a hotel room with a big waterslide and play area for the kids..i found a really cool childrens museum that is located on a 44 acre farm and they are having a huge easter egg hunt..so we will do that for easter..and i get to eat at the olive garden..

AND My sister and her son are comoing wiht us so it will be a family affair.. :D

[MarchMommy]

its St Pattys day already :shock:

Claudia you only have a MONTH left? wow...where does the time go

candice, im sorry to hear about chris' tubes!!

[sarahlynn]

OMG Claudia how did i miss you posting your c-sec date..that is so cool...april 19th sounds perfect for a birthday..


No word from Lina yet?? :(

[sunshine]

Becky posted in general that Lina's test at the Dr's came back BFN.

I don't know...don't get me wrong...I don't think 30's is old by any means. Especially as I fast approach! :lol: I've just always wanted to be done by 35 , but who knows...I guess it's not really in my hands. And looking at my Mom who had my brother when she was 40...it made her young.

Sarah - I'm glad your sister is going with you on your trip. It sounds like fun! I know you and the kids will have a blast! Make sure to take lots of pics.

DH is so sweet. We didn't end up going to visit his parents this weekend, as planned due to snow and Gavin not feeling well and I've been saying I want Red Lobster for weeks now. So we went out shopping today and he said let's have dinner at Red Lobster...well there was an hour wait and Gavin was hungry so we couldn't wait that long, so we get home and he makes Gavin dinner and then calls Red Lobster to go! How sweet! So I got to eat snow crab legs and cheesy biscuts....my favorite! :D

[haydensmom]

Debbie, that was so sweet of dh! He seems like such a good guy! Red Lobster sounds really good! MMM!

Sarah, I'm glad you're still going somewhere! A trip with sis sounds fun!

So I need to complain for a moment... MY BACK HURTS LIKE CRAZY!!! :hissy: It is all tight (in the lower back) and is killing me. I've also been on/off nauseated and crampy all day. I think I'm going to ovulate soon. Dh is giving me a massage later, thank goodness.

[MarchMommy]

hmmm Jess, could you be pregnant???? thats how my back felt last week!!! :lol:

Sarah, glad your sister is going with you. sounds like fun. i wish my sister was cool like that

Debbie...yummy red lobster.

i had sushi tonight, just california rolls since im preggo....thats one thing im gonna miss!! :(

[haydensmom]

hmmm Jess, could you be pregnant???? thats how my back felt last week!!! :lol:
:(

:lol: Honestly, I wouldn't mind if I was. Dh and I didn't protect earlier in the month (CD 8-9) so if I ovulated early, then it's possible. But I dunno. If I'm not then I start next cycle.

[tralynne75]

baby dust Jess.

Candice I am sorry about Chris needing tubes. I really have no clue about tubes but I know having your baby in pain is heartbreaking.

Christi when do you go on your trip?

ok the member market is going to make me go broke. I just responded to about 5 posts. :? I am going to have to get a job to cover all my spending. LOL!!!!

[MarchMommy]

Christi when do you go on your trip?



we leave FRIDAY night! im trying to get ready for the trip amongst this new baby news...

the member market is AWESOME!!

[newmami]

Yay Debbie for being spoiled by DH!!! I am not crazy about sea food, but those cheese biscuits are SINFUL!!!

Sarah, I am glad you are going on a mini trip, you need and deserve it girl!! have tons of fun

Am I the only one jealous of Christi and her trip to Europe???? thank you!!!

So they moved the c/s to the 26... bummer.... one extra week at work...
My parents are so excited, they are coming early to help with Dani... this is what my dad said "we will be there Monday to help you with Dani, so she gets used to us... then on Thursday you can go to the hospital and your mom can go with you, I will stay home and take care of Danielle".... yeah! Abuelo the babysitter!!! apparently I have been replaced in his heart by Danielle :(
DH said we need to find Christi another Abuelo, because the one we have is TAKEN!!! :D
Am I the only one who finds adorable that my 66 years old wants to babysit, and offers to change poopy diapers on my DD?????

[YellowRose]

Where are you going, Christi? Paris?

Jess, I feel your pain. My back has been hurting all weekend too. But.. I know it's not because I'm pregnant. Baby dust to you!!!! Wouldn't that be great if you didn't even have to start TTC?!

[sarahlynn]

i always miss so much over the weekends...i need to find time to pop my head in APA more often..

OMG CHristi friday is your vacation..how wonderful..i bet you are ready for a good break..are you feeling ok wiht the whole prgnancy symptom-wise?


OH MY the 26th for a C/S that is a whole week longer..i bet your gettin ready to see that little one. i htink its great your parents are coming to help out..

[CandiceLeigh]

Hi everyone! I'm behind again, sorry!!

We went to the ENT on Friday to discuss Chris' ears and he says at this point, antibiotics are basically ineffective and he strongly recommends getting the tubes. DH has been pretty hesitant about the whole tubes thing, so I'm glad the specialist was able to give us some good insight on the whole procedure. He said it usually only takes between 10-15 minutes! :shock: And that most kids are just fine right after. Which is what I want to hear.

He also did a hearing test on Chris to see if the fluid is affecting his hearing and it is! :cry: Right now he's hearing between 15-20 decibels and it should be more like 30. (I think that's the right #'s) That upset me a whole lot. The ENT compared it to hearing under water. That really upset me. I can't believe he's been going around for 2 months and not able to hear correctly. We're going to call back this week to schedule his operation (eek!) and get his hearing back to par! I think it will probably be sometime after his birthday, which is April 5. I can't wait to have him hearing all better and feeling all better!

Oh, and if anyone was wondering, I still haven't tested. I think I'm going to call me OB soon and set up an appointment. DH keeps telling me I need to go and he's right! For once...

[sunshine]

OMG, Candice...you are killing me...test! I'm glad you feel a little tiny bit better about the tubes procedure. Like I said, G had it done and he was fine right afterward. It's MUCH harder on the parents than on them and once it's done and overwith you'll be so happy you had it done. But I totally know how you feel about making the decision...being a parent is so hard sometimes. Hugs.

Jess, sorry to hear about your back pain...but hope it's due to being preggers! Sending loads and loads of baby dust your way. I know it'll happen soon for you!

I hope you have a fabulous time in Europe, Christi! Are you taking Madi, or is it just you and DH (and the little bean of course!) :wink: ?

Claudia - sorry to hear they changed your date. And yes it is totally cute that your parents want to change Danielle's poopy diapes! I'm so happy they are going to be able to be here with you all.

The only vent I have today is that I hate my job! :evil: :roll: Why can't we all just be rich!? :lol:

[newmami]

LOL Debbie, hating my job is my regular vent...... but I got my approval for 10 weeks of paid maternity leave... WOO HOO!!!

About the tubes, I had a coworker whose DD was constantly sick with ear infections, colds, etc, it was miserable!!! they did the tubes until she was 3 years old, and she still had some problems even with the tubes... now that I hear that Doctors will do the tubes earlier, I believe it is the BEST idea ever!!! waiting seems to make things worse

I hope we have more mommies PG again!!! Jess & Candice, and then Aly, Debbie and Jenn!!

[sunshine]

10 weeks of paid leave - YAY! I'm so happy for you! That's awesome. Now do you have to use leave that you've accured or is this in addition?
For example, when I took leave after having Gavin I had to use annual and sick leave...we don't get maternity leave above and beyond that...which I so think we should! My cousin lives in London and she gets 1 year of paid leave off after having a child, only thing is that she's only paid 50% of her normal salary. Crap...if I could have a year off with my baby I'd make 50% work! :D

[chellebelle32]

Morgan had to have tubes at 7 months. Not only did she have recurring ear infections, but we could stand behind her and clap and she could not hear us. When they tested her hearing, she was basically deaf. They definitely helped us. She is about to turn 2 and still has the same tubes.

Michelle

[newmami]

After working here for more than a year, you get 7 weeks of Paid STD.... I am using 1 week of vacations as well, and then 2 weeks of sick time
As long as you have worked here over a year, you would get your 7 weeks.... the advantages of working for a bank!

[sunshine]

alright Claudia...get me a job there and I'm moving to FL!

[MarchMommy]

no we are not taking madison :( this trip has been planned FOREVER....way before madison came along...but thankfully this worked out for us, shes over a year old, and done nursing.
im doing ok symptoms wise sarah, just really tired, and i wake up in the middle of the night nauseous all the time. and peeing all the time. aly, we are going to Paris, London, Dover, Lyon and Bath.

claudia, they changed your CS date? how come?

Candice...test....we need more Nov mommies :lol:

[haydensmom]

Well, my chart is showing that I ovulated on the there is no way that I am preggers. But next month we start trying for real and I'm so excited!

Candice, would you test before we all have a heart attack?!??!?!? :D Sorry to hear about Chris's hearing and the tubes, but hopefully he'll be all better afterwards.

Debbie, how is Gavin feeling?

Hayden started trying to stand without holding on to anything today. He was holding on to his toy box, standing, and he kept letting go, standing on his own for about 2 seconds, and then he'd fall slowly, look at me, and giggle. So cute. I am starting to wonder if he's going to skip crawling. He loves walking around.

[newmami]

Yay Hayden for standing up!! he is so adorable Jess, the haircut allows to see his beautiful face better!!!
And I am glad you ovulated... next month IS your month, ok????

Debbie, if I can fire the MORONS I work with, the job is yours!! I should not be, but I am amazed every day on how idiotic these people are!!!

So I am looking for a tshirt that says I am the big sister for Danielle... ugh!! how am I supposed to pick over 100 designs???????????? and then I have to pick one for SK... like he cares about the babies!!!! :roll: all contact he has with Danielle is when he wants to boss her around, which BTW doesn't happen that often because I don't allow him too!! and Dani doesn't care about what he thinks!!!

[MarchMommy]

Hayden is standing up?? WOW!!! go hayden!!!

i am SOO tired, this pregnancy is making me so tired. i fall asleep on a whim...its crazy!

[haydensmom]

I hope you get some energy back soon, Christi! With Hayden, all I wanted to do was sleep. I'd get home from work and sleep while dh cooked, cleaned, etc. :lol:

[MarchMommy]

yea im at negative energy right now.....DH folded laundry, and im VERY type A about my clean laundry. i didnt even have the energy to tell him i would fold the laundry.

[tralynne75]

Christi I hope your energy comes back soon, maybe with the rest in Europe you will feel better.

Claudia, yes I am jealous of Christis trip also, i know the airport she is flying out of, if i was skinny i would pack myself in her suitcase. :lol: Ok that sounds physco. :shock: Sorry they moved your date, any reason why? I know you are ready to deliver. How sweet of your dad. My dad goes all crazy of Katie..I guess it is similar to dads and daughters, papas and granddaughters.

Katie has been so cranky today. She spent the night at SMILs last night, and we ran all weekend and she stayed with sMIL Thursday night. I wonder if she misses me, teething, or getting sick? Time will tell but today was awful, i hope tomm she gets back to my happy baby. sMIL needs to leave my baby alone, I hate to be mean but she needs a break from running so no more for awhile.

[YellowRose]

aly, we are going to Paris, London, Dover, Lyon and Bath.


Do you mind if I come along as a stowaway????? I'll leave you alone once the plane lands!!!! :lol: Have you been to Paris before?? It's gorgeous! You've GOT to see the tower at night, it's absolutely breath-taking all light up!! Ooohhhh!!! I'm soooo jealous!!!! Are you going to eat any snail while you're there?! :wink:

[DIVADLX]

Christi - are you still feeling apprehensive about the trip? You are going to have such a great time!

I wonder if the pregnancy was part of what made weaning Miss Madi easier than you thought... your milk probably got pretty salty when you got pregnant!

I feel sick again... I can't possibly! I am so sick of feeling tired, of coughing up a lung every 5 minutes (yeah, I'm really sexy...)

I bought my airline tickets to Hawaii today! Yahooooooo!

[Bells614]

Everyone is going on trips...I'm so jealous! I'll be here, pulling my hair out with school and work! I'm on the count down until this semester ends! Summer is ALL online classes and I am SOOOO excited about it!

Jess, Hayden is adorable with his new haircut!

Jenn, I hope you start to feel better soon....My cough lasted a while too.

Christi, I so feel for you being so tired. That is what worries me with even thinking about a second one...I spent so much time sleeping with Amanda, how in the world can I do that with her running around?

[MarchMommy]

aly, we are going to Paris, London, Dover, Lyon and Bath.


Do you mind if I come along as a stowaway????? I'll leave you alone once the plane lands!!!! :lol: Have you been to Paris before?? It's gorgeous! You've GOT to see the tower at night, it's absolutely breath-taking all light up!! Ooohhhh!!! I'm soooo jealous!!!! Are you going to eat any snail while you're there?! :wink:

yea i spent 4 weeks over there summer of 1998. i fell in love with it and its always been my dream to go back. we are only going to be there 5 days, but i want to enjoy every second of it!!

you can all come along!!

[sunshine]

Christi, sorry to hear you aren't taking Madison, but I'm sure you and DH will have a fabulous time! :D Let me know how it goes leaving her...DH wanted to plan a trip to Vegas (we've never been) for my 30th B-day and I just assumed we'd be taking Gman, but we talked more about it and he seems to think that we're going alone. I just can't. I know it's silly, but I just can't. Let me know how it goes for you. Paris, etc and Vegas are no comparison though... :lol: Hope you get to rest on your trip! Lucky you have Dh to help with the laudry and such...he sounds like a real sweetie. I'm so glad everything worked out with weaning Madi...funny how things just work themselves out sometimes for the best. I know it was very hard for you, but you'll be nursing your next baby in no time.

Jess, sending loads of baby dust for next month...it'll be here before you know it! Gavin's doing ok, thanks for asking. He's still got this horrible hacking cough with lots of yucky congestion. I took him for his 18 month check up yesterday morning and he is getting so big. He's almost 23 pounds and 32.5 inches tall! Last time they measured him they told me he was 34 inches tall...I just knew that was wrong! :roll: :lol: YAY Hayden for standing! He could very well skip crawling!

Tralynne, sorry little Katie was cranky yesterday, hope she's feeling better today. It's so hard to judge exactly what they are feeling sometimes when it could be so many different things. I can't wait until Gavin can really talk for this very reason! :D

Jenn, I hope you aren't coming down with something else! Sending feel better dust your way. YAY for purchasing your tix to Hawaii~! I'm soooooo jelious! When are you going?

Bells, Hugs...I'll be here with you pulling my hair out too!

So...yesterday I pick up Gavin from daycare and here's what his daily sheet says: Lunch: turkey & cheese sandwich on wheat, strawberries, milk. "Gavin didn't want to eat. He threw a fit and threw all of his food on the floor." GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then at the bottom under Comments and Reminders is says: "Gavin sat in time out for pinching. He had a second time out this afternoon for hiting."
OMG...what am I going to do with my devil child? I'm such a horrible mother to a wild child!

[sunshine]

Ok, I just registered for a parenting class called "Becoming a Love and Logic Parent" it starts April 12th...until then I've got to catch up on my books!

[haydensmom]

I wonder if the pregnancy was part of what made weaning Miss Madi easier than you thought... your milk probably got pretty salty when you got pregnant!

I feel sick again... I can't possibly! I am so sick of feeling tired, of coughing up a lung every 5 minutes (yeah, I'm really sexy...)

I bought my airline tickets to Hawaii today! Yahooooooo!

I totally didn't know that about bm when pregnant! That could be MM! Now if only I could figure out why Hayden's refusing to nurse. :cry:

Miss Hotness, you're not allowed to get sick anymore! So just stop it. And YAYYYYYYYY for Hawaii.

[haydensmom]

Debbie, it sounds like Gavin is going through a phase! Is it bad that I'm not excited for that particular one? :lol: I hope it gets better soon! You're a wonderful mom!

Tracy, I hope you have a better day today.

Kelly, I don't know how you do classes on top of everything else!

[Bells614]

I'm not on here much...and that is why. Plus, I know that I'll have the same schedule as Amanda once she is in school and summertime will be FUN!!!!!!!!! That really keeps me going.

I just got my application finished for the local school district. FINALLY! That thing was HUGE and a pain. Wish me luck! I really don't expect much, but a call or interview would have me jumping for joy!

[newmami]

Ok Hotness, you are NOT allowed to get sick again!! you sooo need the trip to Hawaii to restore your health, YAY!!!

Tracey, I am sure Katie misses mom and that is why she was cranky. She will be her old self in no time!!!

Paris... yeah the Eiffel tower is BLAH during the day, but at night it is awesome!! when I went there, we enjoyed walking on the streets, stopping at cafes and making fun of people!! a cafe next to the Opera house was the best seats in the city!! people in Paris are WEIRD!!!
Skip the snails Christi, they taste TERRIBLE!!! well, the consistency is :yuck:, so if you can stomach it.......

Debbie, Dani also throws her food when she doesn't want to eat... what I do is pick everything and ask her if she is done, and to tell me when she wants to eat back... and I leave the table. Most of the times she will calm down and eat again, she gets specially frustrated when she is eating and I try to help her!! My best solution? 2 spoons!! Anyways, hope it is a phase for him and that things get better

No reason for the reschedule, I want to assume there was no OR available... oh well, another week of work :? ... but another week to get things ready!!! :D
So I have to attempt to train this woman who will handle my customer (The biggest one here in FL) while I am gone... she couldn't figure out something so simple today, and I am supposed to trust her with this demanding customer?? I can hear the Attorneys SCREAMING at her (done that to me... morons) and complaining how stupid she is... then she will have a nervious breakdown and go on sick leave because the surmenge will cause her a M/S attack!!! (it happened when I was on maternity leave with Danielle!!!)

[Bells614]

Aw Claudia, stupid people stink don't they?

I just got a review in the mail from a teacher I subbed for back in November. First of all, she didn't fill it out until mid January. Second, it's horrible!!! :evil: I'm extremely ticked off. Here I am, sending in my app for a teaching job and now I have a bad review on file that is full of lies. URGH!!! NOT GOOD! She said that I didn't stick to her posted time schedule which is bull. We were late to the computer lab by a couple minutes because the kids would not line up in a calm manner (2nd Grade), which I talked to her about at the end of the day. And she says I didn't follow her sheet for handling bad behavior, well duh! I couldn't find the sheet on the mess of a desk. So, I handled it the way the kindergarden teacher I subbed for did. :roll:

That just totally ruined my day.

But, DH should be home within the hour, yeah!

[DIVADLX]

Aw geez - she was probably jelaous. One of the kids probably said "where is miss kelly? We liked her" and she, in a jealous rage, filled out a bad report. I am sure you will get a job and be able to dismiss that.

But I totally understand. When ever i got back my student evaluations, there would be like, 30 glowing ones, and 2 rotten eggs (one student once said I was blasphemy... not blasphemous.. I was blasphemy.) and those 2 rotten ones would ruin the 30 glowing ones...

When did my life get so busy that I can hardly read 2 catch-up pages to this thread?

[Bells614]

Oh, it's just annoying. I have NEVER in my life had a bad review. She cited a couple of teachers that came in the room for a few minutes as the sources for me not staying on schedule or taking care of the misbehavior. Ah well. Manda still loves me!

Amanda was just in my lap and saw stella's pic in your siggy. She got the BIGGEST smile!

Where is everyone today????


Back to school work....

[newmami]

Hey Kelly!! sorry about the review... I am with Jenn, the kids really liked you and she got jealous... when are people going to grow up???

I have to do inventory on like 20 boxes... what am I doing?? posting pictures here and reading APA.... I need a work life!!!!

[haydensmom]

Kelly, that totally stinks! :x Sorry to hear about it!

[haydensmom]

I'm drinking some wine.. mmmmmm... I fully intend to take advantage of dh in just a few minutes. :lol: But he just got a work call (yes at 10pm - darn company cell phones) and he's working on something... but as soon as he's done... FF seems to be confused as to when I've ovulated, if I have yet, so let's hope I haven't and will in a few days... hehehe...

MM you're making me jealous.

[tralynne75]

Sorry I am not responding to everyone I am soooo mad that I can't remeber half of what I have read.

Kelly, sorry you got a bad review. Heck if you taought the kids at all when you subbed then she should be thankful. The kids here loves subs because it is a free day.

Jess, go jump DH's bones, that will make him to finish up the work call ASAP!! :lol:

So i just snapped at DH. :x I have been in PMS/cry/witchy mode for quite some time. Earlier I went off on DS, his principal accused him of calling a girl a wetback. The girl which is a friend of DS told the principal that she overheard Dylan and Cody call her that. Well Dylan would never!!!! I know he is my son and i think he is perfect but trust me he is very sensitive, he can not lie to me (when he tries he breaks down within 48 hrs and has to tell the truth) he hates racial comments. His best friend is mexican, heck Jesse lives at my house, he is like my own son. So anyway Dylan tried to tell Mr Lawson that it wasn't him it was Levi, well Mr Lawson told DS to shut up, and he will call me if need be and if DS speaks to this girl again he is suspended. :shock: I am hot.....first off only 3 people is allowed to tell my son to shut up that is me, his dad and GOD and Mr Lawson is none of the above. Then to accuse him of this and not allow my son to speak. So I was on my way back to school and Dylan begged me not to because it will make things worse. So I try to cool down, the other boys mom just called me and she called Mr Lawson and told him what she thought. So i am all worked up again and am going to the school tomm., Mr Lawson is out of town until friday now but I will talk to the asst. and will make an appt. for Friday. What do you think? Am i wrong, should I just let it blow over or should I fight for my son??? Dylan is such a laid back kid and never wants to see anyone get in trouble so he will take the blame for everything. Trust me he is not perfect and I know that but I also know I raised my son not to look at the skin of the person but who the person was on the inside. I know 13 is a hard time and friends are his major influence and he tells me thinga about what some say..like there is a song i wish i was a ... and he aslo tells me how he feels when he hears things like this how he wantts to stand up to people for saying racial things but I tell him to igorne it. Bad of me because someone needs to stand up but I don't want my kid beat up or worst shot. Anyway sorry so long just needing to vent and wonder if I really should chew out the principal, the way I feel right now they better have cops on hand to hold me back from kicking his a$$.

[tralynne75]

Sorry for all the misspelling in the previous.

OK one more thing.....

Dh had Katie on our bed abs she fell off while I was on the phone venting. I never heard her cry and he says she didn't but her face was red (now DH will lie in heartbeat to me) anyway he said she landed on her neck in a funny way. She is turning it fine, I kept her up for about an hour after this happened and she seemed fine. She has fell from the recliner and never cried,just rolled over and crawled off. Then over a friends she was lseeping on his bed which had no fram just matteress and box spring and when I checked on her she was in the floor crawling.

One more thing..i am so bad today.
OK I took off Katie's diaper to put her in the tub well for some reason I always look at her diaper, today it had a spot in it that was brownish color. I sniffed it and it smelled like pee, i wanted to make sure it was poop. It was in the front but the color bothers me. I called the dr but they were closed and I haven't seen it again. I changed a poopy earlier and I know I cleaned her well, i even changed her in between the poopy and this one. I looked at her down there and it looked a little red. After the bath it looked fine so I didn't put any thing on her. The color was like the brown spotting with AF. I was going to call the dr in the morning and take the diaper (gross I know) but DH threw it out. Now I wonder if I should wait and see if it happens again. ??????????

ok I am going to bed so this awful day will be over already!!!!

[MarchMommy]

wow tracy you've had a DAY havent you????!???!
i have heard that some baby girls do spot sometimes, and its normal, but im glad you called her pedi!!
and poor Dylan.....i hate to see good kids get blamed for something they didnt do!! Good for you for fighting for him.....he shouldnt be punished for something he didnt do.
Keep us posted on what happened!

[without]

Just dropping in to say HI! Don't have a lot of time! I am working a short schedule this week due to Spring break.

[haydensmom]

Hi Pam! I hope all is going well with you and Miss M!!

[newmami]

Hey Pam!! I was about to PM you.... I was wondering if you were out on springbreak!!

Tracey, I am so sorry you had such a horrible day!! I think I would talk to the Principal and let him understand that Dylan is not racist, and allow him to talk to that girl again. I am sure he is a wonderful boy and if his best friend is Mexican, he would not go making those comments!!! I would be fuming too dear!!
About Katie, I hope the brown spot was a little bit of odorless poo, and that it doesn't happen again!!!

Jess, had fun with DH????

Ok, so there is a chance one of our Underwriters will move to NC, so his position would be open (if he gets the position) so I was thinking this morning I would apply if they open it (I have always wanted to be an underwriter). But then this Account Manager (the one for Real Estate deals) came to my office and asked me if I would like to work for him, he really likes me and respects my work ethic (yay!! someone noticed), so I said no problem!!! Considering the limbo I am in right now, that is the best news, and I would not be working for my ball-less boss and his power trip assistant... yeah same office but no direct reporting line!!
So, I am happy!! I was thinking about finding another job once Christi is born, but if I can stay here in a different position, that would work PERFECT!!!

[haydensmom]

Claudia, it sounds like things are finally looking up for you at work!!

No fun for me last night. Brett got a late work call and ended up working on something until midnight... ugh!

So I drank 2.5 glasses of wine and all I got from it was a slight hangover. :roll: :lol:

[sarahlynn]

So i am way behind in here..so please dont hate me for not knowing whats going on..

I am just not a wine person..now co**** rum and pineapple yumm yumm yumm..i love pinacoloadas..

SO we have new neighbors renting the house next to us..i told DH she is cute and young so he needs to build a privacy fence NOW!! :lol: i cant have him oogleing her everyday this summer..nothing will get done!
BUT she has the cutest tiniest Pug puppy that i have ever seen..i had to go out and introduce myself and give the puppy some lovin..

my DH friend was over last night..whome i adore he is young married with one baby another on the way..but he made a coment about going to a movie with this chick and it only taking a box of popcorn to get her.. :shock: eeek my DH needs to call me now so i can find out IF HE really did sleep with this girl..i might have to restrict my DH's tiem with him if he is being bad.. :lol:

So what else..we planted grass on sunday..i watch it everyday..i cant wait to see it start to grow..you ladies will have to just deal with me posting grass pictures..as it progresses.

OH get this..it was 70 out last night so i took lucea out front to the sidewalk with her walker and she walked so much she worse a hole in her sock :lol: and we sat on the sidewalk and played inthe sticks and leaves and grass..i am so excited to have her outside this summer..she was so tiny last summer.

[DIVADLX]

I totally get it! See, my DH has gotten sex once since October... and yesterday was his birthday so I had myself all geared up to give him an, achem, birthday present, and he was too tired. Its ok... I was exhausted too and I still have a cough so I wasn't that into it... but you would think a 30 year old man could find it in him to want it for his birthday... I mean jeez, it only takes him about 3 minutes... ;)

I don't like wine either. I am a girlie drink girl. I love mudslides, pina coladas, etc... However, I haven't consumed an alcoholic beverage in over 2 years.

Saturday is march 24th which was the LMP date when I was pregnant with Stella. Isn't it funny how things like that are seared into your brain (probably because you had to recite it about 15 times in 9 months.)

Yeah, Sarah, get that fence up!

Mrs F - We have yet to hear all the details about your wedding day!

[AprilMommy]

I don't really come in here that much .. I am more of a lurker when I do visit and never post. :oops:
I LOVE wine, margaritas, and mei tais! :D
Divadlx- You haven't drank in over 2 years! :shock: May I ask why? I would die if I couldn't have a good drink on the weekends! :lol:

Sarah I would get that fence up too.. we have a neighbor that is not hot or anything but she runs around half naked all the time and it is really annoying! :roll: Neighbors are sometimes a pain.. I would just like to live on an acre of land and have peace and quiet!

[haydensmom]

I would definitely be getting a very large fence!!! :lol: But seriously... I would... or we would move... haha.. ok not really, but I totally know where you're coming from!

I like girlie drinks, but not as much as I used to. I didn't like wine at first either, but it grows on you. I do LOOOOOOOOOOVE me some tequila, though. :lol:

[without]

I haven't drank in years but today has been one of those days when I could use one! Sigh... Oh, well tomorrow is a new day! LOL I have had to much free time to sit and do nothing today and that makes me start to think about things. :roll:

[tralynne75]

YAY Claudia, I am glad things are working out for you. It's about time someone noticed you, but on a side note if you get a job where you will be working all the time then you will not get to come in here often. And we need our Claudia and Dani fix. :?

Pam, how is Morgan? And how is the dating going?

Sarah, get that fence up girl!! I would be working on it all night tonight. LOL!!!! We have a beauty across the street adn she is a friends od DHs. They use to club together, etc.. He goes over there all the time but she does come over here also but there are times I wonder.

Christi, are you packed yet??? I am getting excited for you. I know you will miss Madi but having a nice long trip just you and DH what fun!!!! Plus you need the rest and Christi time. Spoil yourself!!!! Are you leaving out early Friday?

Ok so I haven't had AF yet. :shock: I normally get it at the end of the month. Feb was short so I was ok, now I am wondering. But for the life of me I can't remember if I have even BDed in Jan or Feb. I am sure I had AF in Jan and she is always on time so I never in look at the date anymore. I know we BDed like a week ago but that would not be affectting me. And I know we protected ourselves. I want to test but I don't want to now. I think I will hold out until the end of March and see what happens. I sooo want a baby BUT no room, DH still is not working, and both families will freak.

[newmami]

Sarah, want some help to put that fence up??? seriously!! :lol:

I am not a drinker either, I guess I drank enough during college, so I am done with my quota.... I was a tequila drinker as well, now I can barely finish a beer!!! I still like wine but it makes me sleepy... GOD I AM OLD!!!!

He he Jenn!! 2 years ago (not sure on the date) I was calling my parents to let them know they were going to be Abuelos.... ahhh!! time flies!!!

About work, if the new position happens, I would still have time to post here... don't worry!! I need my daily APA fix!! :roll:

Tracey, test and go from there!!!!

[babycolling]

Oh my gosh...you guys are funny...I have never read this thread! I am such a dork.

So....gosh. Now I am craving a pina colada. Love them! Makes you feel like you are on vacation. I love wine, but haven't had any in such a long time - my dry spell is because my babe won't sleep through the night and it is hard enough for me to get up without having had a drink. Maybe in a few months! Champagne is my weekness....I don't even need a reason to celebrate!

And, put up a fence with a doggy door! (for the puppy....)
Rebecca

[DIVADLX]

No drinking... well, I was getting ready to be pg for a month then we got pg, that is 9 months without any alcohol, then I BF'd for 11 months, so running total, that is so far 21 months... then after I had her I just felt weird about getting schnockered (I am a light-weight, since I never drink) and being responsible for her, you know? I don't know, i think I'll get over it - I think its a new mom thing - but for now, since drinking isn't important to me anyway, I'll do without.

Also, with DH's mother being a raging alcoholic, I just feel weird about drinking in front of him. Its almost like being the wife of an alcoholic and drinking in front of him or something - I feel like when I drink I am making him uncomfortable or scared or something. I could be just being neurotic about it, but its how I feel! I want to support him and stand in
solidarity with him as much as I can...

PLUS alcoholism runs rampant in my family too, so the more I can do to avoid Stella getting it, the better example I can give, the better I will feel.

Ok, I hope none of you mamas who drink a nip here and there aren't thinking I think bad things about them - I TOTALLY DON'T. I just have a lot of alcohol issues in my family that make me more weird about it.

Anyway, that was a lot more deep than I meant to get in this fun thread...

So I'll lighten it up a bit! Stella's new favorite thing is laying face down in the bath tub (when having a bath) with her face under water blowing bubbles and singing. It is the cutest thing I have ever seen - her little baby butt peeking above the water, listening to the glub glub of the bubbles and her little voice...

[sarahlynn]

Aww stella is so sweet..

It seems like we are getting more and more ladies joinng us in here...YAY!!!

My DH just applied for a another job with Coke..he is hopeing to get off second shift and onto first..which would mean better hours of course..home with us evneings.YAY and also more steady hours..keep your fingers crossed for him that he gets it..i know he will be so sad if he doesnt.. :( also 1st shift he could carpool with his friend and save totally on gas..

SOOOOOOOOO I GET A GARDEN!!!!! DH wripped out a driveway that went into..yes into our yard last summer and now we are hauling in dirt so i can have a garden there..i am so excited to get hte kids outside working in there with me and have fresh veggies...peas, carrots, beans, tomatoes, pumpkin, squash..EEEEK

[EvandAl]

I'm not really a drinker either! It has been 15 months since I have had a any!

My whole family thinks I'm crazy because I don't *enjoy* drinking.

Sarah my fingers are crossed for your DH!! I bet it would be nice to have him home in the evenings. YAY on the Garden! It's so much fun to have something that you have done with your own hands and I bet the kids will love it. It's neat to watch each stage of growth happen :D

[tralynne75]

I am not a drinker either. DH was an alcoholic, my brother is an alcoholic and Dylan has seen way too much for his young age. Matter pf fact my brother is in the hospital right now for this. Don't feel any pitty though because he gets the best jobs and within a couple months screws them up for drinking.Goes to rehab where they pay for everything while he sits on his butt and then when he is released we start back over. He has taken/stole so much money, cars, and stuff from me and my parents that it makes me sick. I love him and he loves my kids but he needs to grow up.

Sarah fingers are crossed. Cross yours for me also DH went for a job interview at a bank. He needs a job period but having regular hours would be nice.

Stella is so cute.

I want to show ya'll a video of Katie walking but it will not let me download it to photobucket. She walks and pulls her hair, then looks at her hands, i guess to see if she pulled her hair out. I have no clue why she pulls her hair. But she can now walk across the room and some days I swear she is drunk because she can't take 3 steps without falling. LOL!!

[DIVADLX]

Tracy - I am sorry about your brother. My brother died from alcoholism the December before Stella was born. It was very sad - he was only 41.

Do you think you could be PG? Seems to be going around...

Sarah - I so envy you your garden! I was just asking my mom about growing tomatoes last night. I don't think I get enough sun though...

[haydensmom]

I can't wait to have a garden!!!! :lol:

Tracy I think you need to test! I know you're anxious, but if you're not, then the anxiety can go away... and if you are, well then there's no way around it!

[AprilMommy]

Diva I am so sorry about your brother.. now I realize why you don't drink! My grandfather was an alcoholic and died from stomach cancer, I am sure it was related. It is so sad what people will do to themselves. :(

Now how is it that thinks their preggo? Sorry I am out of the loop on this one! :lol:

[haydensmom]

Tralynne75... she needs to test and let us know, asap! :lol:

[MarchMommy]

Tracy, i want to see the video...katie is just a doll!

kudos to you gardeners, i can barely keep a plant alive. i HATE yard work too, thats DH domain!!!

[AprilMommy]

Wow.. everyone is getting preggo around here! :D
I hate to garden as well.. I kill any plants so I don't have one in my house. I even managed to kill a little bamboo plant.. is that even possible?! :roll: I let Dh take care of the yard and I stay the heck out of it!

[tralynne75]

I don't want to test, i don't wanna!!!! (whining like a 3 yr old) :lol: I am trying to wait until the end of the month because it could just be a fluke. Ok warning TMI I just don't see how I can. We BDed just last week but I know that I am not preggy from that and before I can't remember when it was. I know we used protection but we also used massage oil ( :oops: way TMI here). So it is possible that the oil affectted the condom but it is soooo unlikely. I am very dry and itchy from being dry, this all started after that night. I know the oil bothered me. I can't remember what were my first signs when preggy with Katie either. I do know I am sooooo witchy these day. I have been PMSing for weeks.

I will try to download the video again. My baby is 10 months tomorrow. :cry: I have been looking into her bday party. I have no clue what to do, what theme to go with, what to even buy her. I know it will all work out.
We go for Easter pics tomm. they have a bunny and a half of egg shell. Bad thing is I can't find the dress I want. All of them are either too much or not enough.

[DIVADLX]

I have a crack baby... she went on a nap strike today and I went to work and guess what! DH let her sleep from 6-8:30! Yeah... I am so screwed for my 10:15 dr apt tomorrow...

But HE gets to stay up with her tonight!

Tracy - you make super cute babies! If you are PG and don't have the room - I'll take her! ;) Just kidding - you'd make it work. Just test already!

I'm not PG but am SOOOOO ready!

[DIVADLX]

PS - I just booked our rental car for Hawaii and it was 1/2 the price i thought it was going to be! It was only $136 for the whole time!

yahoo!!!! I had $300 budgeted for it!

[tralynne75]

That is an awesome deal. You make Hawaii sound so affordable. Everytime I look into going it seems to cost a fortune.

any one know what other site I can download a video to so I can post it on here. Photobucket is giving me such a hard time. I don't know why it will not let me download a 2 min video of Katie.

[tralynne75]

help, katie has her Easter pics today and these are the only dresses in her size at Belk. I went JCPenny, Kohls, Walmart and Kmart. I want to run to Babies R Us but not sure if I have time because I have a funeral at 1 and BRU is 30 mins in the other direction. Jenn do they have beautiful Easter dresses. MIL wants fancy but not too fancy. The first dress I think is too fancy and PINK and the 2nd I think is cute but not fancy enough. I think the 2nd might be her 1st bday dress. Ok I am getting in the shower so any advice will be hwlpful.

[chellebelle32]

Of the 2 you have listed, I like the 1st one best.

We have a new game at my house. With the weather getting warmer, bugs fly in when we open the door. Morgan keeps track of the bug while I get the spray. When I spray it, she cheers "yeah mommy" and we give each other high fives. She also cheers for me after I finish my work out. There is really no better motivation for me, than my little girl.

I am excited to put out a small garden this year. Last year I put out a couple of cherry tomato plants. Morgan wanted to check them every day for "the red ones". Of course, she also got to eat most of them.

Michelle

[haydensmom]

I definitely like the first one!

[tralynne75]

really? I don't like the 1st one. I bought another one and will just wait until this afternoon and see what she looks best in.

Ok so by tonight I am going to test. BTW no one knows that AF hasn't came to see me since Jan. I feel like I am not but will test for you all. I have to go to the drug store to buy pedilyte (?) anyway.

[sarahlynn]

Tracy ~ i want to see video of her walking and pulling her hair..i cant stop smiling thinking of her lookign at her hand like DID I GET ANY OUT!

Alchoholism runs way back in our family so i dont drink much at all.the last time i had a drink was our wedding..oh and a swallow of beer last summer when i was so frickin hot :lol:

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO luceas daycare called me yesterday and she was running a 101 temp and pulling at her face and ears.. :( well her appt with the ENT isnt untill next month on the 16th a whole month away..so i called her pediatrician she is out for a week..i said heck with this and called the ENT myself..did the whole WOA IS ME mama voice and they are getting her in tomarow at 10:00 YAY FOR LULU..i hope we scheduel a surgery right there..keep your fingers crossed..

[sunshine]

Awwh, Sarah...I hope they schedule surgery soon too, so she can be her self again. It's so hard for them (and us). Good luck to your Dh on the job with Coke. I'll be praying he gets it.

Claudia, good luck to you too on the possibility of a new position! You're moving right on up the ladder, aren't ya! You go, mama. You totally deserve it.

Jenn, how cute Stella's new bathtime jig. She's so precious.

Tracy - test, hon...you're killing us! And remember everything happens for a reason, so if you are preggers it'll all work out.

I'm not a gardener, but my MIL helps and I do manage to do the lawnwork including cutting the grass. As for the drinking, I'm not much of one, but do like an occassional drink...anything but beer. Can't stand that stuff. Just the smell turns my tummy.

I'm sooooooooooo happy, girls! I just left my trainer's and he has promised me that I'll be 25 pounds lighter and looking hot by the end of summer....if I keep working as hard as I did this week, or he'll give me all the money I've paid him back! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

well iwant to come to your traineer to...all i need to loose is 25 lbs of junk in my trunk :lol:

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't been keeping up in here at all! :oops: I suck, I know. Let me see if I can catch up on a few things...

Tracy, you might be PG?!? How exciting! Also, I like both of those dresses, they are so cute. I've been meaning to tell you that I love your siggy pic of Katie! She looks so cute praying. :D

Jenn, that is awesome about the car! Now you have extra money to get me a souvenir! :wink: Kidding! When do ya'll leave?

Christi, I am going to miss you sooo much while you're gone! I hope you have a blast and I can't wait to hear news about your 1st U/S!

Sarah, I hate to hear that Lucea is in pain! :( We already met with the ENT, did I tell ya'll? I think I did...well we are calling this week to make an appointment for the surgery. I'm scared, but so ready for Chris to have some relief from those darn ears!

Debbie, that is AWESOME! I wish I had a trainer, I need to lose a lot of weight!

I'm sorry if I didn't respond to some stuff, I just went on as much as I could view with the little window under the respond box. :oops:

[newmami]

Yay Debbie for the promise of losing 25 lb!! good eating habits and
exercise go a long way!!

Tracey, I cannot believe you haven't tested yet!! You are stronger than me!! and BTW, I LOVE the first dress for Katie
Good luck to DH on his interview, working for banks is a good option (awesome benefits!!)

Sarah, sorry about the fever, but glad the Dr would see Lulu!! and yay for the garden, I am JEALOUS!!

Jenn, you will be PG in no time, don't worry about it, OK???

So the Dr rescheduled my c-section, back to the 20th. His DD is graduating college on the 24, and he wants me to be done before he leaves.... YAY!!! I am so ready I am happy!!

DAni came back with a fever yesterday, and had it till this morning, but she ate and played like nothing happened, I am thinking teeth.... anyways, I took her to our bed for a while, and DH got her some juice to cool her down. Once she was back in her crib, DH told me Dani & Christi are very lucky to have me as their mom, because I would do anything for them.... sooo sweet, but I asked him "well, isn't it how it is supposed to be?"... poor thing, he had a WONDERFUL mom, but his ex was a poor excuse for one, so he forgot what normal loving moms do!! Anyways, I love DH for making those comments!!

[AprilMommy]

Hey Sunshine I am jealous you have a trainer! I need one of those because the exercise that I am doing is helping everything else tone back up but my belly skin is still so loose! :roll:

Divadlx.. when are you going to Hawaii? And how did you get such a cheap rental car! :shock: We are going to the big island on April 28 and we need to rent a van because we are taking my parents with us. I can't seem to find anything cheap!

Tracey have you tested yet? I am anxious to hear if you are pregnant or not! :D

Sarah.. how is Lucea? Would it be surgery for her ears? I hope she feels better soon.. fevers scare me!

[DIVADLX]

I went to my fave travelocity first then I went to the Enterprise website to reserve it. I could have actually gotten it for a few bucks cheaper, but I wanted to go with a rental car company and I know and love. Last time I went with an unknown (Alamo) it was horrific. i think it helps that May is juuuuust before the summer tourist season.

Sarah - your poor little Lucea!!!! I am SO glad she got in tomorrow though! one month was way too long for her to have to wait.

Well, I had my Dr apt... good news and bad news... she wants me to be on the AD for 2 more months, which puts baby making off until June. :( I was soo looking forward to fertility BD in Hawaii! But I guess it is more important for me to be mentally sound. :(

The good news is that I lost 12 pounds! Yahoo! I am just 18 pounds away from where I want to be when I get Pg again!

On another note... Stella has been doing early potty training signs! I am SO excited! Whenever she is about to shi shi, she does a wiping motion to her crotch. Then she pees and does it again. Today at the doctors office she got out the changing mat, the plastic bag, and stood there doing it. And sure enough, I checked and there was fresh pee!

[CandiceLeigh]

OMG Claudia, I can't believe Christina is almost here! It seems like just yesterday you got that surprise BFP. *Tear* :D

Wow Jenn, Stella is amazing! I can't believe she's almost ready to be out of diapers! What a big girl! Sorry to hear about the TTC. I can't wait to see you PG again. You make such beautiful children. How are the meds going? Do you feel an improvement? Oh, and I'm still waiting on the ponytail pics... :wink:

Edited to add a word

[sunshine]

OMG, Jenn that's AWESOME Stella sounds like she's going to be ready very soon! That's great! Sorry to hear you need to be on AD's for another 2 months, but you know what...time flies and you need to be fully feeling better so you can enjoy your next pregnancy. Hugs.

Geez, Claudia...it's like the bungy dates...hope they stay with the 20th. :D How sweet of DH to let you know how wonderful of a Mommy you are. Give sweet Dani hugs from G and I. I hope she feels better really soon.


Yeah, I'm excited. DH has decided he wants to take me to Vegas for my 30th B-day...only kicker is that G will not come with us... :( I don't know if I can do it!

I have to say I love Chris Daughtery!

[newmami]

Wow Stella!!! I guess you can start potty training and see how it goes. Yay for losing 12 lb Jen!! In no time those other 18 would be gone, and you will be PG!

Vegas baby!! I have never been there, but from what I hear it is awesome!!! G would be fine Debbie, send him to my house!!!

So the guy who sits in front of me is making this noises like he is having an orgasm or something.... :shock: apparently his stomach is not feeling well... if that is the case, wouldn't he be making ouchie noises instead of moaning???????

WEIRD PEOPLE I TELL YOU!!!!

[sarahlynn]

I had to google Chris Doughty to see who he was...i am so out of the main stream loop its pathetic.

10 mintues ladies and thurday is over i get to go home..

DH just called and got about a 40 cent raise..hey its something..his boss also said he put in a good word for him for the other job he applied for..i guess we jsut wait and see..DH didnt sound to opitmisic because someone else he knows applied for it..oh well either way its all good.

[DIVADLX]

Aw shoot. Don't you hate it when you catch up on this thread, hit reply with all the things in your head that you wanted to reply to, and then forget. That just happened with me....

Hmmmm.... OH YEAH!

Trac - Oh both dresses were so cute! They are very different from each other, but so cute! I am not all the frilly, so I would probably pick the second, but then again it was 2 months before Stella put her first dress on, and even then I felt like a horrible feminist for imposing her girl-ness on her. I do like them both!

I just looked at all of mrs f's wedding pics... they are amazing!

Who is Chris Dougherty? Is he the guy that sings that "and I want to go home" song? if so I love that song...

Claudia... :shock: Orgasms? lucky man...

Vegas is very fun! And actually getting more and more kid friendly all the time. Weirder than weird - it is THE vacation spot for people who live in Hawaii. Who knew!

[Peanut's Mom]

Hi ladies, I'm totally jumping in and you can kick me out if you want. I've been a lurker forever in this post. :oops:

ARG! I just go to off the phone with the IRS and now have a headache and my BP is up because they are idiots. 3 phone calls is not good enough to fix their error so now I have to fill out another form, back date it, and write a letter.

Good news....Elliot has slept through the night for 4 nights. And naps have improved during the day. He used to wake at least once, about 6-8 hours after going to bed to nurse but it really slacked off. I made DH go in Saturday night after he play-nursed at 2:30am and he was up for 2 hours with him getting him back to sleep. I felt horrible but now he's sleeping all the way through. I'm not though, waking up every hour to make sure he's ok and my boobs are at exploding level. YAY for my big boy who took 13 1/2 months to sleep more than 6 hours!

:D

[DIVADLX]

The only ones we boot out are ones who either cause trouble or talk about tantalizing desserts without sharing...

Yay! Sleeping through the night!!!!

Guys, I am at the end of my rope with Stella's poopie situation. She poops about every day now, but it is always this big hard ball of pooh. Poor thing is always straining. I give her fruit, I give her juice, I give her fiber, I give her veggies... jeez. I never understand how someone who eats so little can have such an enormous, horrible poop.

[tralynne75]

Debbie Chris Daugherty is going to be having a free concert here tomorrow night.

Jenn, sorry about poor Stella still having poop problems. And sorry about having to wait to TTC. But YAY for losing weight!!! I can't believe you think you need to lose more weight, you look awesome already.

Yay for Elliot sleeping better. It is always nice when they start sleeping longer. Now you just need to sleep.

Sarah, I am praying they get poor Lucea in for surgery tomm. Poor girl having to deal with this pain.

Claudia. Yay for them moving the date back up. The 20th will be here before you know it.

OK HERE IS WHAT YOU ARE ALL WAITING ON...........I took a test and the verdict is a.....
B.......


F..........
..........
........
........
..........
........
N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!

YAY...YAY... I so want a baby but when i missed Feb I was so nervous. I really don't need a baby right now. Katie will be 1 in 2 months and hopefully this summer we will get a house so then we are planning on TTC. If i don't start within the next 2 weeks I do plan on going to the dr because I have only missed 3 other times and all 3 times I was preggy.

[MarchMommy]

aw Tracy....im glad that the results are ok! cant wait till you are pregnant again!!

Ive missed alot on this thread...so ill try to catch up...

jen, that is amazing that stella is signing the potty signs! what a smart girl. im trying to get madison to learn her body parts. she knows where her belly is, and im working on her ear. any tips for getting them to learn the body parts? i told my mom to work with her on it!

Sarah, good luck with Lucea!! i hope she feels better soon.

oh...and i want a cheeseburger

[DIVADLX]

Oh gracious... a cheeseburger... I totally resisted one today... mmmm...

I didn't do anything special. I mean, she comes to the bathroom with me every time and I explain everything. If I say "mama has to go shi shi" she'll run into the bathroom. If I say "lets go change your diaper" she runs into the bathroom. She helps me close the lid to the toilet and flush too. I don't know... I guess she is just fascinated! But I don't take any credit past recognizing the signs...

T- YAHOOOOO! Were you a little sad though? I remember when I had that scare a couple of months back (my only oops in my life - I think its on about page 46 of this thread. ;) ) I was relieved but a little sad with the BFN.

Also T - have you seen me lately? Mostly though, I am trying to lose any post partum weight because of the study that recently came out that revealed that moms who gain PP weight and don't lose it before the next baby have HUGELY increased chances of having complications - with GD being the big one... I don't want to mess with that!

We just went swimming. The kid is a fish just like her mama!

[tralynne75]

I was a littke sad. I keep looking at the test thinking it might change. LOL!! I want another baby but realistically right now it not the time. My first thouht was Oh My Katie will be only 15 months, she still doesn't sleep through the night and I will have to get up with both babies. Then the whole she is in our room, where would the baby go, etc...etc..I know I would have 9 months but still. Plus I really want to enjoy this pregnancy and my newborn because this will be it.

Yes I have seen pics of you, and i totally get why you want to lose before TTC. I need to lose for my own health and mostly because I am so depressed because of it.

Hey did any of you see this 'Japanese real estate mogul Genshiro Kawamoto is handing over multimillion-dollar homes to low-income native Hawaiian families'. How cool is that? I read that they are allowed to live there for 10 years rent free.

MM, we will miss you, maybe you can sneak and check in with us while DH is in the shower. Ok you will probably be in there with him so send him to get you a craving and check in for a few mins. Have a wonderful time!!!!!! Madi will be just fine, so no worries just fun.
Drew's cousin has 4 kids and everytime his wife got preggy he would take her on a trip like this for 2 weeks just them so they could have alone time and she could rest. I think it's the sweetest thing.

[MarchMommy]

Thanks Tracy! i had some anxiety last night over leaving her. but im going to hug and kiss her all day long today :lol:
but i feel like arse today....sickly and pukey.

now i have to run around my house and charge everything that needs to be charged...phone, computer, camera, video camera, etc....

im sorry you were sad Tracy....it will happen for you, i hope, very soon!!

[sarahlynn]

[DIVADLX]

Oh yeah its friday! And for us its payday friday!!! Wahoo!

So I have this horrible cough, right? Well, I have learned a lesson in kegels... you don't know how valuable doing them is until you have a post partum cough...

Yeah. Mommy-pee. All the time.

[MarchMommy]

i should be packing...instead, here i sit :?

[DIVADLX]

What are you still doing here???? Get thee to Europe!

[sarahlynn]

ARENT YOU GONE YET????

get packing and on the plane...how long is the flight?

I am so excited for the three of youto get away and relax

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

So did you see lucea gets tubes on tuesday..tubal tuesday we shall call it..

[Peanut's Mom]

Sarah - good news about the surgery. That sounds so weird but I know it'll make her feel better and that's what it's all about.

Mommy-pee - been there, hate it so much. Makes me feel like my grandma who's in her 70's.

MM - I'm so incredibly jealous of your awesome vacation. My last vacation was 2 years ago. Hmmmm, time to plan another one and find a way to get Elliot to my parents to babysit him.

I need advice or someone to tell me if I need to get over this. My inlaws live an hour away and offer to babysit anytime. But, I'm so against them babysitting because they're not MY parents. Partially because they smoke heavily (outside, but yuck) and I don't want that around Elliot. And mostly because when they are around Elliot, they don't care for him like my parents do. Like, if he needs a diaper and it's obvious, they don't just go do it like my mom does. Or they don't want to feed him or get him a snack and sit in the kitchen with him while he eats it. Or fill his sippy cup. Or put his shoes or jacket on him if we're going somewhere. Or carry him out to the car and try to put him in his seat. Maybe because me and dh are here and do all that, I don't know. But it irritates me like no tomorrow and makes me wonder if they'll do everything they should if I'm not here.

And YIPPIE it's Friday.

edit because I can't spell.

[MarchMommy]

im at the airport now...waiting to board. i had a HARD time leaving madison but im good now....
it was hard tho...

i think the flight is 6 hours. we leave at 7:30 EST (pm) and get there London time 7:30 am so we lose 6 hours...

DH just went to go see how much upgrading to 1st class is :shock:

since i have that clotting disorder (and im preggo), i have to get up and move around every hour

[EvandAl]

I hope you have a blast Christi! I'm sure that it was hard to leave Madison but she is in Great hands!!

[MarchMommy]

she is....in totally great hands...but no one can take care of her like her mommy!
i think we are getting ready to board! HUGS ladies

[tralynne75]

Sarah, I am glad they are doing the tubes Tuesday.

Ok Katie turned 10 months on Thursday and I swear she has been a so funny the last couple of days. She was cranky and now she is just plum funny. It's like she grew up and added another personaility over night. :shock: She will not crawl any more, if she falls she gets right back up. She pulled a few wipes out of the container which she knows is a no-no and when I caught her she stuffed them back into the container. She makes these funny faces and will peek over furniture at me. Oh and now she goes off to hide when she poops. And she knows which body part each piece of clothing goes on. Like if she is playing with her socks she will stop and try to put them on her feet or her pants she holds them around her diaper and when they fall down she looks st them like they are crazy and her shirt she places oh her head. :lol: Where is my baby???? IS this normal for such a change at this age????

[CandiceLeigh]

Found this on pg 2! :shock: No time to chat now, but I wanted to BUMP it!

[newmami]

I found this on page 2 :(

I was out from work Friday, Dani had a bad sleep & fever, so I stayed home in case it got worse... apparently it was just teeth coming out, because she is ok now. Oi, I didn't had to deal with teething complications before!! :roll:

We went to Animal Kingdom on Saturday, and Dani got to pet the goats & sheeps, the look on her face was priceless!! I will download pictures this week
So, I went to my Diabetes Education appointment Friday morning. As my levels were high, I have to inject insuline and test my blood 4 times a day... what a hassle!!!! :? . OTher than that, I had another U/S, baby is around 7 lb and apparently my amniotic fluid levels are low (is there something I can do about this??), but the biggest surprise of the day is that I am NOT having a girl!!! the first u/s Tech was WRONG!! so Christi is a BOY!!!!.
I was shocked and speechless, when I left the hospital, I cried like a maniac!!! I feel cheated, like someone stole my little girl.... I called DH and he left work and stayed with me all afternoon (Dani was with me the whole time and she was an angel, considering the appointment lasted 3 hrs). Went to BRU and got some boy clothes.... but when I came home and was putting things away, I cried like an idiot!! I just bought matching summer dresses and other stuff, that would not be wore now.... and then I was emotional all weekend...... Don't get me wrong, I am thrilled with a boy, I was just mentally and emotionally prepared for another girl, and now I have to change my mentality to Boy.
Then I got sad that I would not have another girl, but hey.........

Anyways, the weekend was an emotional rollercoaster!! I called my parents and my dad is THRILLED with a boy!!! funny thing is that Saturday (when I called them) my mom asked my dad... hmm, what if it is a boy???? :roll: and for some reason I also had my suspicions, but of course I trusted the U/S

** SIGH *** so now we are expecting Christopher Michael, AKA my little ninja........

I still want my little girl Christi back!!! :cry: :hissy:

[Bells614]

WOW Claudia....I kept thinking that while preggo too...WHAT IF IT'S A BOY? I'm sure you'll adjust, it will just take a little time.

Nothing much new around here, just Amanda scratching my cornia and me missing work for the second time in the two months I've worked there :roll: I'm totally fixing to get fired. But, I'm better now and trying to finish my school project.

[without]

:shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: OH my gosh!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

A boy!!!!!

I have to go shopping!

I know that right now you are disapointed and morning the loss of your little girl.. Big hugs!

*goes off to look at little boy clothes* :lol:

[CandiceLeigh]

:shock: :shock: OMG!!! A BOY?!?!? That is so crazy and I totally understand why you would be so upset. ((BIG HUGS)) That is just insane, that you find out about a month before he gets here that he's a he! BTW, love the name! :wink: Bright side, at least you find out now and not on delivery day?

[newmami]

Yeah that is what I told DH, at least the surprise was not at the hospital!!

Still I am bringing the girl outfit to the hospital, just in case!!! right now, I don't trust anyone until I see the boy parts out!!

And I guess it comes on a good time, considering this weekend Dani was Daddy's litle girl!! not wanting to do ANYTHING with Mami :(

We used Christopher as the male for Christina, as my Dad was excited about us using the name. Michael is my FIL's name, and DH's middle name

So anyways, big plans for Easter?? We don't celebrate Easter that much, all I care is that Dh's son would NOT be with us!!!

[without]

We always go to my Grandma's for Easter. This will be Morgans 1st Easter to spend with my family! Last year we were driving to a funeral all day in the car on Easter is no fun. I can't wait for all the good food! I have to get looking for a dress for Morgan and I to where to church. Its the one time I will put on a dress. :?

[sarahlynn]

OMG CLAUDIA!!!! A BOY!!!! are you happy !!! WOW i couldnt imagine all of a sudden finding out that late in the game..but its a great thing..honestly boys are so wonderful..i am so excited for you..it wont be long and that bundle will be in your arms.

Well the surgery center just called and said lulu has to be there at 7:30 in the morn..NO EATING after 2:00am..do you think i should set the alarm for 1:00 and feed her just in case..i can just see her waking at 2:45 and me having to find ways to get her back to bed without the boob..that wouldnt be good..My stomach is in knots now..i hate surgeries..this will be my third darn one with these two kids..cant i have normal healhty babies :?

The weather here was absolutely amazing yesterday..it was well inot the 70's..we spent 90% of the day messing around outside and junk like that..and 1/2 the day spent angry with DH..lucea went down for a nap in the afternoon and not more than 20 mintues later he goes into the basement and starts knockign down a wall.. :shock: what kind of idiot goes and does this when a baby goes to sleep..and it wasnt long and she was back awake..i was so mad..i wanted to be able to work out in the yard when she slept and have some alone tiem but he screwed that up for me..so i get her hand her to him and say there now you can take care of her..so he holds her for 15 mintues while i rake the yard and gives her to me and goes back downstairs..GRRRRRRRRRRR i am still angry at his stupidity..so we went to bed all pissy at one another. :roll:

so what exactly do your glands do? i have 3 big swollen glands on the left side of my neck and they are making my neck sore..But overalll i feel fine..is it my body fighting something off?

Me and the kids are going to fargo with my sister, her son and my mom..we got a hotel room and i found a big kids farm that has an easter egg hunt..so it shoudl be a good time and a much needed small vacation.

[AprilMommy]

Claudia.. that is crazy that you are having a boy now! You will LOVE having a boy though, they are so much fun! :D Now you have the best of both worlds! What a surprise though, I hope you are getting used to the idea! :D

Sarah.. men are so stupid sometimes! :roll: Dh does the same thing.. he thinks on the weekends he should have all this time to get stuff done that he wants to do so I end up getting nothing done that I wanted to do! IT IS SO ANNOYING!

[sarahlynn]

Oh man i forgot to post that i fell down the stairs this morning

i usualy carry cy downstairs in the morn..he is dead to the world..well i picked him up and headed down and one of luceas blankies was onthe step one of the slipery type blankie and me and cy went all the way down the stairs..luckily it was my butt and back that were on the bottom but it hurt and made me feel queezy.. :( cy was ok just bumped his head on my forehead..

[tralynne75]

Claudia, Oh my a boy! :shock: I would be upset also. You have had all this time thinking the baby was a girl and now a boy. I would take a girls outfit also just in case. Hugs to you!!

Sarah, I will be thinking and you and Lucea tomorrow morning. I would probably wake her to feed her. Just so she isn't starving the next morning. Does she normally eat first thing when she wakes up?

[newmami]

Ouchie Sarah!!! sorry about the fall!! that is one thing I hate about stairs, and the idea of me falling when I am carrying Danielle just freaks me out!

What is it with DH thinking that you don't have a life or other things to do besides housework and child care??? Mine is the same, he complains because he cannot find 1 hr to read a book or a magazine, or learn how to use Photoshop...ummm hello??? you come from work at 5, and do almost nothing until 7 pm (dinner time).... do you hear me complain because my relax time is from 9:30-10 pm?????

So if I have to listen another "OMG you are huge", I am going to flip!!! I told DH that if a stranger asks me the "are you sure it is only one"? I will tell them I am expecting triplets, but I am in denial, so I am pretending it is only one

I probably should go back to work........ after I post on the POTW!!!

[DIVADLX]

Claudia - I read the rest of the posts with my mouth gaping open.

Holy bad U/S tech batman!

I can't believe that they told you girl with such certainty when there was a penis!!!! I am astonished.

That said, I can totally understand why you would be sad. Please don't feel like your mourning the loss of Christi means you love Christopher any less. Its totally natural that you would be sad - this little baby that you imagined and began to build an identity for is gone. Sure you will start to adjust and imagine your life with little Christopher, but first it is ok to be sad to say goodbye Christi. I would be crushed. I totally get it.

Sarah - yowchies! I hope you aren't sore all day... and I agree with you, I would totally wake little Lu up at about 1 or 1:30 to feed her.

Well, last night was totally horrible. I had to call the doctor, and thankfully my doctor was on call. Yesterday we went to the supermall so that Stella could play on the indoor play stuff. She refused food all day, but I figured it was a toddler thing, and was kind of whiny and looked so tired! But she napped well, so I just thought, well, she'll get to playing with the kids and forget about it. Well, we got there and took her shoes off, sent her out to play and she barfed up everything she ever ate in her life. It was pretty gross. But I have never seen a human so small barf up such an enormous volume, especially considering all she had eaten that day were 3 grapes.

The of course one of my co-workers shows up. Here I am, no make-up. Sitting guard to make sure no kids come and step in her vomit while we wait for housekeeping, and my coworker and her family show up.

Anyway, we get home and she has a temperature of 102.2! It was so sad - she just laid there on my chest, shivering and miserable. We called the doc to see if we should bring her in, and she said to give her some tylenol and get some liquids in her and if there's no improvement in an hour to take her to the ER.

I gave her the tylenol and she started to drink her juice, and within about 15 minutes she was much better. Today she is running a low grade fever, but is so much better!

So scary though!

[newmami]

OMG poor Stella!!! I am sorry she is sick and barfing!! babies barfing are heartbreaking!!
Hope it is one of those 24hr bugs, and she starts feeling better.

What happened this weekend?? babies sick & with fever :( . Dani would wake up screaming, and she was half asleep, but awake enough to put her hands in her mouth and rub her gums.... I was this close to get some tequila and rub it in her gums, to make it feel better!!!

[Jai]

HOLY COW Claudia!! OMGosh!! I cant belive you are having a Christopher instead of a Christi now!! I can totally understand why you would be upset. :( Im sorry. CONRATS of your boy though!!

Poor Stella!! :(:( Im glad shes feeling better today.

[BBKCD]

Holy bad U/S tech batman!

I can't believe that they told you girl with such certainty when there was a penis!!!! I am astonished.



Wow :shock: I can understand feeling a little sad, too...you were already emotionally invested in a baby girl that may have extra parts. I would take two outfits to the hospital, as well, since it's hard to say which tech was wrong :?

[BBKCD]

Sorry Stella's sick...Ciara was sick for the better part of 2 weeks! Hope she's 110% soon!

[sarahlynn]

30 more minutes ladies..and its time to go home..

anyone else around here have kids in school and work full time..i need 8 more for my schoool survey.. :?

[AprilMommy]

Oh I am so sorry Stella was so sick! Vomiting for a baby must be awful to watch, because I cry when I have the flu! I am glad she is feeling better today, a high fever is so scary!

[DIVADLX]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH had a job interview at Microsoft today and they offered him the job!!! It is over $13,000 more per year than he makes now!!!!!


YAHOOOOOO!!!!

(happy dance!)

[EvandAl]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH had a job interview at Microsoft today and they offered him the job!!! It is over $13,000 more per year than he makes now!!!!!


YAHOOOOOO!!!!

(happy dance!)

YAHOO!!! Jenn that is WONDERFUL news!!! I bet your DH is feeling great :D

[haydensmom]

Jenn, that is AWESOME!!!! You guys must be so excited! What a huge relief!!! :D

Man Claudia! No pun intended! I know exactly how you feel though. Long story short, I worked with a woman who told me she had a dream I was pregnant 3 weeks before I actually conceived, told me that I got sick during pregnancy (did because of hypoglycemia - not talking morning sickness), and said I was having a girl. She was right with the first two, so I believed wholeheartedly that I was having a girl... so when we went for our u/s, I was shocked!!! Probably stupid that we believed, but after the u/s, I just kept saying, "It's a boy." over and over and over.

I would definitely take both outfits though! You never know!

[YellowRose]

WoW Claudia!!!! :shock: I can imagine I'd be pretty upset if that happened to me. You were anticipating a little girl only to find out that little girl is a boy. I'd still take a girl and boy outfit to the hospital. Who knows which tech is wrong!

But... on the bright side, little boys are so much fun!!!! :D

Jenn, that's AWESOME news about your Dh's new job!!! Congrats!!!

Spring is officially here!!!!! Although, today felt a bit like summer. It was 80* and SUNNY!!!! YAY!!!! I'm SOO glad the icky cold weather is gone!!!!!

Caleb is really enjoying the warm weather too. He just LOVES to go and play in the backyard. The only bad thing about going in the backyard is my neighbors have a HUGE doberman pintcher. Those dogs scare me. And the only thing seperating the dog from us is a chain link fence. Caleb just loves dogs so he always wants to go right up to the fence and stick his hands in. I'm just afraid of what that dog might do. Dh and I have been talking about putting up a wooden fence, at least on that side for now. I just don't trust that dog.

[Bells614]

WOW Jenn, that is awesome!!!! I'm guessing he is taking the job?!?

We got to go shopping today, Grandma sent a box of clothes up and bought the wrong size, so it was shopping spree time!!!

Good Luck Sarah! I'm sure Lucea will do great!

[haydensmom]

Oh my goodness Aly, I wouldn't trust that dog either! I don't blame you at all!

[sarahlynn]

WONDERFUL JENN!!!

i need to get some sleep .. both kids have to get up early ..have a good night ladies..

[without]

Wahooo!!! Way to go Jen!!! Wish we could all go out for drinks!

[tralynne75]

Poor Stella, I hope she feels better today. And congrats to your DH on his new job. Does that mean you get to quit your job and stay home now?

Sarah, I am thinking about you and Lucea, not ure about the time difference but I have been worring for Lucea since 7am.

Yay for Spring. I am so glad Katie is walking so we can enjoy the outdoors. I took her out one day last week and she was scared of the grass. I had to sit in the grass and run my hands through it and then she would touch it and jerk her hand back.

[newmami]

YAY for the job with Microsoft!! I am so happy for you and DH Jenn!! I am going to do a little happy dance

Aly, I would not trust that dog either!! a fence sounds like a good idea!

YAY for spring!! although we really don't suffer winter here, but I am happy for all you girls who have to endure snow!!!

He Tracey!! Danielle didn't liked the grass at the beginning, now she cannot wait to be out running and playing!!

[sarahlynn]

were home..i posted a post here in NM...

Lucea did great..she is such a toughy..i am just glad to be hoem and done with it..now onto healhtyness :D

ok is this not weird..i fell down the stairs yesterday morning..now all of the glands on the left side of my neck and head are swollen and sore..i mean really bad sore..and i have two bumps on my head?? is it possible this is related to the fall? i wouldnt think so but i hurt so bad..

[without]

Glad she is doing well. Hope you get to feeling better. I don't know if it could be from the fall or not but hope it goes away soon.

[newmami]

The bump is probably from the fall, the swollen glands can be strep throat or something like that..... I hope it is the anxiety of the surgery, and that they go away soon!!

So DH picked me up for lunch, we had pizza he was craving, and had a wonderful lunch date.... They are having all this changes at work and he is frustrated with the lack of work and the stupid new policies.... Poor thing, he is such a hard worker and all he wants is to be busy!!!

Jenn, I have been meaning to tell you, along with the Mei Tais, you should sell the covers for shopping carts!! my mom made me one (a very simple one) and I keep having people ask me where I bought it!! if I knew how to sew, I would do them, but I can barely put a button back!! :roll:

[sunshine]

OMG....I've missed so much!

YAY Jenn for DH getting a new job and a very sweeeeeet raise! Sorry to hear Stella isn't feeling well...give her hugs from me. Hope she feels better really soon.

Claudia - OMG, a boy! I know it seems like a shocker now, but once you see his sweet face it'll all be just fine. Hugs, honey. If you need clothes please pm me I have a TON! Love the name Christopher too, btw.

Sarah - Glad to hear Lucea is doing well. Give her hugs from me. I hope this is the beginning of a long healthy, no ear infection road for you both. OMG girl...you fell down the stairs...crap! I hope you are ok. Hugs.

Aly...one word hon...fence! you can't trust someone else's dog...I don't care who's it is.

It's 87 degrees here right now...it's CRAZY! Guess we skipped Spring and went right into summer! DH has talked me into taking a trip to Vegas for my B-day and leave G man behind. I'm excited and terrified all at the same time. :?

[AprilMommy]

Debbie.. going to Vegas sounds like a blast! I have never been.. I know I know I need to go! :) When is your B-day?
I know it is nerve wrecking thinking about leaving your lil guy but Dh and I have decided that for our anniversary this year we will leave him for the first time! :shock: I am so nervous but he will be 15 months old and he loves his grandparents. I am hoping he will do okay without us!

[YellowRose]

Debbie.. that sounds like so much fun! I'm sure you and your Dh will have a blast and Gavin will do just fine!

Dh and I have been talking about taking a small family vacation this summer. Dh and I have never gone on a vacation together before, so it's definetely time! I'm trying to convince him. I want to go up to Mackinaw Island for a few days. It's not too far of a drive. I've been there multiple times, but Dh has never been. And they have THE BEST fudge in the world!!!!!!

[newmami]

YAY Debbie for the adult vacation!!! we are planning on going to Vegas this year, probably September (my inlaws live there) and then do some tourism in north Arizona.... it would be a family vacation, but I am excited!!
Gavin will be fine, it would be harder on you than it would be with him!!!

[tralynne75]

Debbie I am glad you are going for your bday. It sounds like fun and Gavin will be fine. I am talking about taking DH to Vegas for his 40th bday, of course that is 3 more years, i will need that much time to save. LOL!!

I am glad Lucea is home. Sarah, I don't know about all your bumps but I think I would agree with Claudia. Sounds like strep with your glands swollen and then a bump from the fall. I hope you feel better soon.

I want to take a trip this summer, I really want to go to Disney World. Claudia, is it worth the money for me to take Katie, she will be 1? I am told to wait until she is 4 or 5. Katie loves Mickey Mouse and Dylan goes every year.

[haydensmom]

Sarah, I'm so glad Lucea is doing well! I'm not sure about the glands... did you cut yourself on anything? Maybe call the doc if they don't go away in case (very rare, I'm sure) you got some sort of infection.

Debbie, Vegas sounds awesome! I've never been either!

On that note, I can't imagine leaving Hayden. I'd love to go on a trip with dh, but I can't imagine being away from him for that long, kwim? I'm sure you are thinking the same thing! :lol:

Claudia, how are you feeling today??

Pam, any word on this dude? How are things going?

It was so super nice here today... 80 degrees... Debbie, I went to the outlets and I was thinking about you... Too bad you couldn't have called off and come with us! It was a perfect day to go!

[Jai]

YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DH had a job interview at Microsoft today and they offered him the job!!! It is over $13,000 more per year than he makes now!!!!!


YAHOOOOOO!!!!

(happy dance!)

OMG YAY YAY YAY!! Jenn Im soooooo excited for you guys! CONGRATS!!

[Jai]

I cant believe how much I missed by being away from this thread for a few days (ok, weeks) :lol:

I always feel like I cant remember everything I read so I dont post because I dont want anyone to feel like they werent important enough for me to reply to them but really its just MOMMY BRAIN and I cant remember when I start to post. Ahhhhh, that was ONE LOOOOOOONG sentence! :lol:

[sunshine]

AprilMommy - I've never been to Vegas before either, so it should be fun. My B-day is June 17. What are you planning for your anniversary?

Aly - That sounds like fun! I think it's smart to go somewhere you can come home quickly if needed, especially if you are leaving Caleb for the first time. Fudge? Ahhh..sounds sooooo yummy!

Jess - Wow, it WAS the perfect day to go to the outlets yesterday! Did you find any awesome deals? You are so good at that! :lol: I can't imagine leaving Gavin either. It's really nuts...I went to Let's Dish last night and dinner before with some friends and had such a guilt trip at dinner that I didn't even enjoy myself. I felt so bad because I dropped him off at daycare yesterday morning and then he was asleep when I got home last night...I felt horrible. :cry:

Claudia, hope you are feeling better today, hon. Hugs.

[haydensmom]

Aww Debbie, I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your evening last night! :( But remember that he got some Daddy time, which is really important, too!!! BIG HUGS!! I did get some good deals yesterday!! Carters is having a 50% off sale and I had a $10 off of a $30 dollar purchase for Children's Place, who has some of the cutest bathing suits for boys, btw. I bought one even though Hayden has two already. LOL! But it is a 6/9 months... the other two are 12 and 18. They're too big (I bought them for $.99 from Carters last summer).

Wow that was long. :lol:

Jai, I was just thinking yesterday afternoon that I hadn't seen a post in here from you in a while. COME BACK!!! :wink:

I wonder if Christi is having a super fabulous time?!?! :D I hope she's feeling ok.

It's supposed to rain here today... I'm crossing my fingers for a thunderstorm. I love them!!!

[without]

Debbie,
Oh, that sounds like so much fun! I can’t wait for summer to get her so that Morgan and I can start taking our trips to Branson again! Go and have a blast.


Pam, any word on this dude? How are things going?


Well…. He took his son camping for Spring Break. Though I am glad he likes spending so much time with his son I am starting to feel cheated! I just don’t feel as if he has enough time in his busy life for me. Any way I am tired of 2nd guessing every thing. So when he comes home we are going to sit down face-to-face and just talk about it. James always calls or texts me even now while he is on vacation and he makes me feel as if I am important to him but doesn’t seem to make time to actually see me other than every now an then. He is so easy to talk to and I know he won’t mind us having a talk and me sharing my feelings. Knowing him he is trying not to ask for too much of my time and here I am sitting thinking he doesn’t want my time. I just not good at playing the game! Thanks to Claudia (for the great idea) when James and his son get back from the camping trip they have a goody basket waiting on them with pop corn, candy and a gift certificate to block buster. I put a note in it that said… Missed you boys while you were gone I want to hear all about the trip so when you get back dinner and a movie is on me. Let me know the time and I will bring dinner. Any way I could ramble on and on about James but I will stop. LOL Right now I am just having some timing issues with him and will be glad to have “the talk” over with.

[newmami]

Ugh Pam, don't you hate when they play games?? come on!! you are both adults, you can handle the truth!!!
Hope the talk goes well!!!

Tracey, I would say wait until Katie is a little older, so she can enjoy the rides. Dani still looks like "whatever" in some of the rides, even though I do my best to make it fun for her!!

I am feeling better!! I think monday was just a horrible day!! I slept funny and my whole body ached, but it got better yesterday!! DH was very worried, he was this close to take me to the doctor!!

WELCOME BACK JAI!!! just jump in as always!!

I am so done with this GD thing, I am tired of poking my finger 4 times a day for the blood glucose levels, and to poke my legs 3 times for the stupid insuline :cry: .... I feel for all you girls who need shots during PG, NOT FUN!!!

So I am getting excited about having a boy (even though I would not believe any U/S... I will see when baby is born), and I want to go shopping for cute clothes!! We have a Carter's outlet, so after reading Jess' shopping spree, I MUST go shopping for boys!! (I am keeping tags on everything until I hold my baby in my arms and know the sex for sure!!)

We are going to transition Dani to a toddler bed... she is starting to climb on things and I am afraid she will fall from the crib.... GULP!! my baby is growing too fast!!!

Ook enough abotu me

So what have i missed..Debbie is goin on vacation??? not sure where but i am jelous and it sounds like a good time to me..

So anyone from chicago..me and DH are thinking of taking the kids on a trip to chicago the end of the summer..doing the aquarium and the zoo.

[YellowRose]

Well, I'm IN Chicago, but I live about 45 minutes West of the City!!!! :) I want to take Caleb to the aquarium and zoo this summer too, I think he'd love it... and even if he didn't I would love the aquarium!!!! :wink:

[sunshine]

Jess, you ALWAYS find the good sales! That's awesome! I so know what you mean about the cute trunks...I've bought G 4 pairs of swimming trunks and DH is like "hon, don't you think he has enough?" :lol: :roll: They are too cute! And for $0.99! You can't pass THAT up!

Yes, Jai! Come back and just jump right in!

I hope Christi is feeling ok and having a great time with her DH. I miss her.

We are supossed to have a storm this evening too...I just hope it holds off until I can get home from work and take Gavin on a walk!

Pam, hope you have a good talk with James when he gets back. The idea of dinner and a movie is very cute and thoughtful...I'm sure he'll love it! Let us know how things go. I tell ya, men and their games... :roll:

Tracey, I totally agree with Claudia on the waiting to take Katie to Disney. We took Gavin when he was 8 months old and he was too young to really enjoy anything. I wanna go back when he's 5 or 6.

Claudia, I'm so glad to hear that you are feeling better today. I really feel for you with the GD...that must be horrible, hon. Hang in there though...you don't have too much longer. That's my girl...get excited about having a boy...while they are loads of work, like all kids are, they are sooooo much fun. Gavin just did his first official "boy thing" the other night. I was getting him out of the car to go inside and I went to get the mail and turned around and he was stomping in a mud puddle! YAY...that was so fun to clean up! :roll: But you know what? I wouldn't have it any other way. Everything happens for a reason. It's all going to work out great! Have fun shopping for boys clothes...there really are some cute things out for spring/summer. Children's Place, Old Navy and Target are my favs for G's clothes.

Good luck moving Dani into a toddler bed, I'm sure she'll do fine. Let us know how it goes. Are you going to do it before the baby comes or after?

Sarah - You're worrying me, hon. Get to the Dr. You need to be seen, bill or not!

OOoooo...Sounds awesome Aly and Sarah could meet at the zoo and/or aquarium! I'm so jelious!

I'm totally PUMPED! I've been to my trainer this morning for an hour then walked 3 miles with the girls at work and now I'm eating my salad with NO dressing! :D I've already drunk 1 liter of water and I'm now on my 2nd. Now if the friggin weight would just start coming off! :roll:

[DIVADLX]

Sarah - i think you should go to the doctor. Swollen glands could be a sign of a serious infection!

Sorry girls, I can't really catch up on most of this thread!

Claudia - you inspire me! Your tales of what you have to do with your GD inspires me to continue trying to lose this PP weight. The statistic is something like - if you gain just 15 pounds after having your baby and don't lose it before getting pregnant with the next, your chances of getting GD are increased by like 200%. I think after all your stories I am NOT going to mess with that statistic!

We are considering moving closer to DH's new work. He starts on April 9th. We are so excited! Now we can really save up to buy a house!

[newmami]

Sarah, I agree with Jenn, go to the doctor to make sure everything is fine!!

Jenn, GD sucks!! I wish I had lost more weight before getting PG... I have the other risk factors (being over 35 and having a previous baby over 9lb, plus the overweight). So yes!! I would encourage you to lose the weight so you don't have to deal with this crap!

I have this coworker that has been complaining about other people not doing their job CONSTANTLY!!! OMG I am so tired of her!! now I know how DH feels, so I stopped complaining about work!!! :roll:

Zoo or Aquarium sounds like fun for kids!! I hope you guys are able to get together!!!

OMG...I did not know this!

[haydensmom]

eep I didn't know that about GD either, Jenn!!! Well speaking of pregnancy... I'm late as of today.. My LP is always 12 days and AF is no where to speak of. I'm tempted to POAS..... :o

[YellowRose]

ooooo!!!! Good luck, Jess!!!!!

I've never posted in here before, but I just had to let you know that you girls crack me up!!!!!!!!!!!!! I swear I never imagined I'd have all of these "virtual" friends, until I got hooked on the apa forum.

[sarahlynn]

OH LORD I cannot stop laughing..

but how on earth did YOU get a picture of MY TOM!!!!!!

BRB i need to go chew his arse for talking to other woman :evil:

[haydensmom]

You girls are too funny...

[sarahlynn]

rachaelmuniz ~ you should definetely post in here much more often..its a fun place to talk about anything as you can tell..TOM being one of the hot topics.. :roll:

pssst he is mine by the way :wink:

i am at the moment in search of myspace freinds :lol:

[EvandAl]

Sarah I sent you a request :lol:

Tom sucks! HAHA Did you know that he is now a millionare (sp?) because of Myspace :roll:

[DIVADLX]

You guys are a crack up.... you can't be a hoot because only Cy is a hoot...

Jess - pee already! Well, I guess tomorrow morning. I better come on here and find a BFP post!

I'll find the study and post it for you ladies...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15048454/

I was really off - it is 109% on the higher end... but still those statistics scared me...

[Love2Bamommy]

Lay off my Tom!!!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: :lol:

[shaylanh]

I never post in here either but might as well...

I just had to say that I deleted tom off my Myspace friends... He's a loser and I'm way too cool for him.

[katie]

I just had to say that I deleted tom off my Myspace friends... He's a loser and I'm way too cool for him.

I deleted him too... he was creepy.

[tralynne75]

I'll add you Sarah. I have a myspace to keep an eye on Dylan since he has one. So anyone feel free to add me. I deleted Tom since he was womanizer. I think if you click on my web page on here it links you to myspace.

Jess test, test, test!!!!!!

Sarah you need to go to the dr, if you can't lift your head off the floor then something is wrong.

[haydensmom]

SARAH GO TO THE DOCTOR!!! I know it's another bill, but swollen lymph nodes mean an infection - infection can enter the body through a bruise - it doesn't have to be a cut. If you wait and it gets worse, then you may be looking at a hospital stay as well, which is waay more expensive.

I tested... BFN. I was disappointed, but we aren't really ttc until next month anyway. I'm POAS happy, though. :lol: I think I watched the stick for the entire three minutes. Then I threw it in the trash with it still laying flat. Dh walked by and said, hey there are two lines, are there supposed to be two?? I got all excited and then he started laughing. I think I'll have to kill him after he puts Hayden down. :x :evil: That was so mean.

[sunshine]

You ladies are sooooo funny! I'm to freaked out to have a my space account...there are some real freaks out there!

Sorry about your BFN, Jess....it'll happen in time, I just know it.

[YellowRose]

Debbie, you're not alone. I don't have a myspace account for the very reason!

Sorry about your BFN, Jess! Hugs.

[sarahlynn]

Awww Jess it wont be long and you will get that positive...


So i have like 4 my space friends..i am like the coolest :lol:

[AprilMommy]

Sorry about your BFN.. you will get a BFP soon enough! Everyone else is getting preggo so I am sure you are the next in line! :D

Am I the only person who does not have a MySpace account? I have heard so much about it but have no idea what it is.. I am so out of the loop! :roll:

[shaylanh]

Dh walked by and said, hey there are two lines, are there supposed to be two?? I got all excited and then he started laughing. I think I'll have to kill him after he puts Hayden down. :x :evil: That was so mean.

awww What a butt!

[DIVADLX]

You are totally not the only one! I have steadfastedly refused to get one. So you are not the only non-myspacer.

Jess - that was kind of mean, but he probably didn't realize how much you were hoping for 2 lines. But still, I think you should spank him. ;)

[daylilies]

I have myspace but I only made it to talk to a friend I used to know but now we're just "internet buddies". He gives really good advice so I'm always talking his ear off when I've got something going on. LOL
The rest of my "friends" are celebrities, tv shows and I think one guy I don't even know but he added me for some reason and I added him back.
There's no info on my page.
Myspace is great for looking up old high school buddies. You can search for your school, even by graduating date and everyone who has it listed as one of their schools will show up.

[sarahlynn]

well wish us luck this morning ladies...its cys turn to go to the doctor..btut he is the lucky one he gets to see teh shrink :lol: no surgery for this little man..i amgoing in with an open mind and heart..i am not a huge medication fan but i am not gonna rule it out right now either..kate (naturekate) has been helping me find some vitamins that we can try for cy and we are gonna try that first see if it helps him out in school..i talked to him yesterday agian and said we are going to a doctor that can try help youfind out why your having a hard time concentrateing and focusing..

he puts his hand on his head and said .. i just have a hard time, ally wouldnt stop talking to me at school today and i just got so confused..BUT SHE GOT HER NAME ON THE BOARD..SO THAT IS GOOD! :( :lol:

so i know he struggles..

talk to you all soon..

[EvandAl]

I hope the appointment goes well for Cy! He really sounds like a great kid, I'm sure it is just a phase. I had a horrible time concentrating in school and really didn't do well until High School :roll: My mom still has notes from my teachers talking about how much I would wiggle and move around in my desk and that all I wanted to do was talk, talk, talk.

Jess, I'm sorry about the BFN!

I orginally got the myspace page to see pictures of my sister when she was preggo. Her and my BIL have pages, my BIL was a DJ so he started his page so people could hear his music (he is Dbot on my friends list). Now I just have fun on their making slideshows and keeping up with a few high school friends.

So we are excited DH just found out that next month he is starting the next training class at his Job. He is an Air Traffic Controller, but right now he just talks to other controllers as planes are going from one area to the other. This next class will qualify him to actually control the planes :D plus it means a little raise (not as much as it should be, but I don't want to start on that :wink: darn government)
Plus we finally found the perfect subdivision that we want to get a house in. The houses are a little more $$ than we orginally wanted to spend, but the houses aren't right on top of each other and it is in the district for all the best schools! :D

Sorry this turned out really long! Morning ladies :wink:

[without]

Good to hear I am not the only one who gave Ol' Tom the boot! LOL

[haydensmom]

Sarah I hope this doctor finds some answers for Cy! Good luck!!!

So AF showed up this morning. I really didn't want to test last night, but dh pressured me into it. :roll:

So I actually did a little workout this morning. I've had no motivation to lose weight/get in shape, but last night I decided that I better get my butt in gear. Even though we officially start ttc in two weeks (ahhhh is it really that close???!?!), I could still lose a little by then. Plus, there is no guarantee whatsoever that I will actually get pregnant anyway. So my butt is officially in gear. I even made dh go for a walk with me after dinner last night. His butt needs a few gears too. :twisted:

Tom is still on my myspace... I should take him off, too... now that I know what a manipulative womanizer he is. :lol:

[haydensmom]

So you know how I mentioned that I worked out this morning? Well it made my blood sugar/blood pressure drop and now I'm all nauseated and shaky. :x :( I'm hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) and I have low blood pressure naturally... I had eaten and everything this morning. Geez I try to do something to make myself healthier and I get sick. This happened the last time I worked out, too. Maybe I'll stick to walking for a while. :roll: Do you think walking will help out the flab under my arms?? NO! :?

[sarahlynn]

Oh Alison that is great about your husband..what an exciteing job..made me think of the movie pushign tin? i think it was called with billy bob thorton..i hope his training goes well and he can move on to the planes..

JESS! you need to be careful..darn it no more workin out for you..your gonna have to be lazy just like me from now on :lol:

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

Well cys appt went well..we talked to the doc for a couple of hours..he was very nice and i really liked him..he said Cy shows a lot of the ADD signs, which i know cause i have read on them..he doesnt think he is a mess though.. :lol: he said meds are up to me..he does think i am doing good at home and need to make sure to stay structured for cy and make sure he has quidelines, consequenses, timelines. He is going to call in a prescription to cys ped in case i decide to go with meds..i am just so torn..in a way i am all anti meds and i want to kick this without them..but on the other hand..its cys life..who am i to day YOU CAN DO THIS DO IT..when he is the one suffering each day and struggeling in school..he deserves to be able to focus and nto to feel bad am miss fun things because he has to sit behind and finish things and struggle..we talked about a med that he could take just for school.not evenings or weekends or summers..it works right away and if it did work fo rcy we would notice a change almost instantly..i am still up in the air..but seriously considering it..i feel ok with it but also feel like so not sure..i just want to make the right choice for cy..i want him to be abel to be happy..

[Peanut's Mom]

Ladies, I'm having a rough day. Elliot just spent the last 30 minutes crying his poor little eyes our. Huge tears and now his face is all red and puffy from really crying. Nothing I did made him stop. All he wanted was booby and I'm in my pre-AF dip and he didn't get his milk fast enough so he's trying to rip my nipple off. I even tried giving him some in a bottle and he refused that. I ended up putting him in bed and leaving his room to try to keep my sanity. After about 5 minutes he fell asleep, but I feel terrible. We're already having issues with him knowing it's nap time and crying before I even get him into his bed for it, and now this. I really wish I taught him how to go to sleep better and now am off to try research a book I can get to help him sooth himself to sleep without crying. It breaks me heart each time, but has been the only way he'll calm himself down to nap.

Anyone else have nap/sleep troubles? Please tell me I'm not alone even though I do know that deep down.

[YellowRose]

I'm sorry your having nap troubles, Crystal. You're not alone though. We are having nap/sleep troubles too. Caleb isn't napping for very long and than wakes up in the middle of the night. He used to be SUCH a GOOD sleeper and now he's a horrible sleeper. I just don't know what to do to break this bad sleep cycle. It's driving me batty!!!!!

[tralynne75]

aaww Crystal hugs to you!! I know how hard it is when your little cries and there is nothing you can do. I have sleep problems also but no answers. We are still working on getting her to sleep through the night.

Sarah, I have no answers for you either. Cy sounds like a great kid and you are such a wonderful mom for going the distance to make sure he has ADD. I am not a meds person either but I might try the one you mention but I would reserach it first. You are right Cy deserves to get to play instead of doing work all the time. He will start to hate school and not pay attention when he gets older, and in middle school the teachers don't make them stay back and you will not know about alot of things until report cards come home. (dealing with that now) Hugs to you!! How is Lucea?

Jess, I am sorry about your BFN. and be careful working out. I get dizzy also but i think mine is lazy. :wink: You worked out while having AF?? Go girl!! If i even stand there is a river, so no working out for me on those days. I left my preggy test on the counter for DH to find. hehehe... But mine was the one that has 2 lines, if it was positive then it would have a plus sign. Well I thought DH would freak seeing 2 lines but he dug the box out of the trash to figure it out and never mentioned the test to me. :lol: I asked him what he thought about the results and he said 'if you were pregnant I would love it as much as sweetpea", that's when I asked me how he knew.

My brother is coming to visit. YIPPPIE :roll: !! I love my brother but........!!! I told DH he was coming this afternoon and he said hide all the valubles. Which it's normally true but still I hate to think that DH hates my brother and my brother hates DH. Dh has reason since Bob stole his jeep and left us stranded on News Year about yrs ago. Then everything in the jeep was stolen and Bob was in jail. DH freaked out for 24 hrs until I foound the car. My brother does take anything he can sell to buy beer and drugs. He is homeless right now and my parents are not helping him out but i have such a big heart I can't stand to leave him homeles. He gets to go into another drug 'home' in 2 weeks so I told him he can stay here a few days. How do I turn my back on my family??? He will not steal while he is here because I do not keep beer here since we don't drink. Sober he is a great person. I pray daily he will change his life for good, if not I fear he will end up killing himself or someone else driving drunk. So anyway, if I am not on here much you know why.

[sarahlynn]

i need to share...

I was best friends with a high school friend for well over 10 years..well she had 4 children adn her husband cheeted on her and they got divorced..well after the divorce she started seeing this guy who lived a ways away from her..well one night he told me that he just had two girls leave him house after a night of well you know..at this exact time my GF was planning a trip to see him..well i went back and forth on do i tell her or dont i..well on her way to the airport i broke and thought i woudl want to know if i were her so i texted her what he had told me..she got very hurt and upset with me and essentially we never talked after that..she thought i was doing it vindictivly to ruin her trip..who knows why cause in 10 years of friendship i never did anything to hurt her..so after about 3 years now of no talking get this we met up again on myspace. :roll: now she sent me her # and said to call to catch up on things..but i am nervous..i keep thinking of how things went down and i get nervous..

shoudl i call her..i miss her so much..and her 4 kids..i was so close to all of them..i made many trips to GA to see them all when she moved there with her 1st husband..now she is only 3 1.2 hours form us and i woud love to see them all again and be friends..

what do i do.. :(

[haydensmom]

Sarah, go ahead and call her! I mean, everything happens for a reason and we all know the likelihood of you joining myspace was pretty small! I think it's meant to be!

Tracy, good luck with your brother!!

I have a baby attacking my keyboard. :lol:

[sarahlynn]

i think i will call her.

LULU attackst he keyboard as well..there is no computer use with her anywhere near the computer.

[Peanut's Mom]

Thanks Tracy and Aly. While I hope both your babes will start sleeping better, I'm so glad I'm not alone.

Elliot still doesn't sleep through the night. He did last week for 4 nights in a row when he had a fever and slight head cold, and now he's back to eating again one time during the night.

[EvandAl]

Sarah I say call her!!

My best friend in Middle and High school (also intro. me to DH) and I got into a disagreement and didn't talk for a very long time. We started talking on Myspace and on my last trip to FL we actually got together and it was Great!! She has a little girl that is only 1 month older than John so it was great to let them meet.

[sarahlynn]

its about time for bed...i am gonna post a few pics before i crash..

tomarow is friday..but i work allll weekend..i think i am going to put my notice in to quit tomarow..its just my one weekend a month job but i hate working 12 days in a row..i miss my babies to much..what sucks is i like it much better than my regular full tiem job so i hope they dont rule me out for a full time position if one ever opens..

i just wanna be home..it would be bad if it was short hours but i work over 8 hours on sunday ALLL day.. :(

[tralynne75]

Call her Sarah. You never know maybe you can be close again. If not what did you lose in calling her?

[without]

I say call... friends get harder and harder to come by the older I seem to get so I would put my behind in the past and call. :lol:


OK so I had the talk with James about ... he doesn't seem to have enough time for me and though it went over well I can't decide what I think of his answer. It was honest yet didn't sound as if he was going to work on changing. He said that he has been single and living his own life and doing things his way so long some times he just forgets. Well I understand that 100% but at the same time he still didn't make any plans to spend any time with me. I couldn't date a man who just had to see me every night or felt as if we had to do some thing together several times a week. I work two jobs and like spending alone time with Morgan. On the other hand I don't like going a month inbetween dates! I don't know how to tell him this with out sounding like I am asking for all his time. Sigh... Have I told you girls how much I hate dating!!! :roll:

[newmami]

Hey girls!! I miss you so much!! I had a very busy dat yesterday!! the Audit is next week and of course we are running to get things done the last minute!! :roll:

Sarah, call your friend and go from there!!! I hope she is mature enough to forget the past!!
As for Cy, what about starting the structure days before the medication? see if that helps, if not, then you can ponder using the ADD medication. I have a friend whose son was diagnosed with ADHD, she was against medication, but when she saw how good it did to him, she knew in his heart she made the right decision. He is a wonderful man, went to Irak and he is back working on his Bachelor's degree and working.

Jess, sorry about the BFN :(. About the dizzy, I had that happened one, and the trainer told me to have some juice or a fruit before working out, to keep the sugar levels up!!

Alison, YAY for DH, hope everything works out!!

Crystal, Dani is a bad napper when she is home, the only thing I can do is to take her to my bed and take a nap with her... what about giving him some BM in a sippy??? Hope the nap schedule gets better!!

Tracy, good luck with your brother!! and what happened to Dh's interview?????

Pam, sorry James is being non commital... maybe he is scared of setting something in stone and being unable to comply?? either way, what about telling him you would like to see him at least once a week, and see how it goes?? hey, you can take the kids to the park if he wants that to be the date!!
I am sorry you have to deal with the dating crap again, I told DH if something happened and we get divorced, I would stay single so I don't have to deal with the dating crap.... or maybe just find me a boytoy!!

I do not have myspace either, don't have time to update a website!!! DH's friends have been bugging him to join it, to stay in contact, but he refuses. I rather call my family and let them know how Dani is doing!!

So our Bank is doing this whole fundrasing for March of Dimes, and we had a presentation today. I asked to be excused from the video with testimonies... I was already choking just thinking about it!!! someone asked me why and I said I have more than enough friends (my APA girls) with preemie/NICU babies, I don't need the extra!!! but we have a donation site, so I am going to do my part!!!

DH is still in denial that we are having a boy!!! I still have my hopes, but in my heart I know it is a boy... the u/s picture was too graphic to be a lie!!! I am even telling Dani about her brother!! oh! and I ordered some shirts for Dani & SK, They are big brother, big sister, they are adorable!!!

Big plans for the weekend??? we are taking it easy as I had a rough week... I need to clean house and DH already volunteered to vaccum... I love this man!! he gets upset because I don't let him help at home... yeah! I am weird like that!

[tralynne75]

I have no plans here for the weekend. I need to start decideing what to do for Katie's bday.

[without]

See thats just it! I don't know how to talk to James and make it clear that I am not looking for a commentment but for us to get to know each other we should probably see each other more than once a month. Every other week is fine with me. I like my weekends with Morgan and would hate to give those up so I don't want ever weekend with him! Sigh.... if it were not for the fact that I would love to have one more child I would never date again! :roll:

[sunshine]

Sarah - I'm sorry Cy is struggling. That's a really tough decision. I'm anti-med too to a certain extent. Hugs. I'm sure what ever decision you make it'll work out for the best. And I know it must be soooooo hard to have patience with him during this time, but you seem to be doing an awesome job! You're a great Mama!

Call your friend...I'm sure things will go well...she probably misses you too, and just didn't know how to react at the time. Call her and let us know how it goes.

Just explain what your feeling to your supervisor at your part time job...hope it goes well.

Alison - Good luck to your Dh on the training classes! And congrats on finding a neighborhood you like with great schools! How exciting!

Jess, I know this is waaaay too much info, but our cycles are almost the same! I started af this morning after testing last night and getting a BFN. Hope April is the month for us both! I want you to be first though! :wink: :D Take it easy with your workouts, hon. Maybe just take some 5lb dumb bells with you on your walks and alternate raising them to be lateral with your shoulder. That helps triceps...I call them my flappers! :lol:

You all and your Tom with myspace is really cracking me up!

Crystal - sorry you are having a rough day, hon. I've had to do the crying it out method with Gavin a ton of times. I know it's a horrible feeling, but he won't remember this and you did, IMO, what's best for both of you. Hugs.

Aly - I hope Caleb's naptime and bedtime gets better. I think most kids go through a rough time around a year old for one reason or another. It's such a hard time for them. They want so badly to be independent, but don't want to break away from Mommy and Daddy yet either. It's so hard for them and us. Hope you all get good sleeps back very soon!

Tralynne - Oh gosh, hope this visit is drama-less! We'll be thinking about you and your family and hoping all goes well!

Pam- glad you had the talk with James. I feel for ya, hon. I don't know if I could do the dating thing again...it's hard...and on top of everything else you do...you're such a strong woman. Hang in there. I hope you meet Mr. Right very soon. Hugs. I'd tell James just what you said here...you don't know how to tell him that you aren't looking for a commitment right now, but just would like to spend a little more time together. You gotta remember how thick men are...they just don't get anything implied...you gotta spell it all out for them.

Claudia - you'll have to take pics of the kids in the shirts when Christopher arrives! Trust me...once you see that little face you'll know it's all meant to be. Let your hubby vacuum and help at the house! You deserve a break! Have a relaxing weekend!

No big weekend plans here...just getting G's Easter/18 month pics taken tomorrow morning. I'll probably take him to the new park in our neighborhood. I have to do my scrapbook page for the swap too.

ETA: We finally too G to get his new do last night and we LOVE it! I took tons of pics yesterday and will try to post them this weekend.

[YellowRose]

No big plans here thig weekend. The only thing we have planned is a birthday party tomorrow afternoon for one of Caleb's little friends from church. She just turned a year old. Should be fun. I bet Caleb will enjoy playing with all the kids!

[sarahlynn]

I cant stop laughing..i put these bobble head on my space..and my husbands head is on wilium hungs dancing body..its so funny..go take a peek..


its lunch time..and my daddy invited me out..

YAY

[sunshine]

Have a great time at the party, Aly.

Enjoy your lunch with your Dad, Sarah. I need to go pick up a salad.

[CandiceLeigh]

Oh my goodness, I have been such a lazy poster lately! :roll: How is everyone? I tried to catch up, but I started losing my breath. :lol: That was a joke, get it? :roll: You're probably doing that at me huh? Ok, here I go!!

Jenn, YAY for your DH!! :D That is such great news, I'm glad he got a higher paying job. Who doesn't need extra money? Are you still PT at BRU?

Traci, I'm glad you get to see your brother! That sucks that you have to hide stuff though. Hopefully, he will find his way soon. :wink:

Crystal, sorry about the nap situation. That would break my heart too. :( Hopefully, Elliot will learn that napping is a good thing!

Sarah, you should totally call your friend! I wish I had more girlfriends, but alas, I do not. Sometimes I get bummed because DH has friends he can hang out with whenever, but I only have a handful and none of them have kids. What's your myspace url? I think you were my friend once upon a time, but you deleted me or something. :cry: Thanks a lot...j/k! Here's my url, but mine's set to private so you can't view it unless we're friends. http://www.myspace.com/candiceleighfy

Pam, sorry the dating isn't going as smoothly as it you'd like it to. Hang in there, someone perfect is waiting for you! 8)

As for me (sorry if I missed someone, Hi Jess, Alison, & Aly!) Chris' birthday party is this Sunday!!!!! :mrgreen: I am super excited, but my poor pops is sick! :( He started running fever this weekend and woke up Tuesday with an awful cough and runny nose. It's those darn ears again! :x His ENT called him in an antibiotic and told us to give him Tylenol Cold and he woke up this morning with no fever and no runny nose! Hopefully, he's all better by Sunday! Crossing my finger. His tube surgery is set for Monday, April 9. I am so ready for him to get back to being healthy!

Get this though, I had DH call to schedule the surgery b/c he was off and I was working. Well, he scheduled the pre-op appointment on Chris' Birthday! :roll: We're supposed to go to the zoo on his actual b-day which is Thurs, April 5. I gotta see if I can reschedule. :roll: :roll: :roll:

[YellowRose]

Aw, Candice I'm sorry that Chris isn't feeling well. I hope he's all better by Sunday!!! I can't believe he's practically a year old already! Where has the past year gone?!?!

[Peanut's Mom]

Hi ladies. Happy Friday! Thanks for all your kind words. I just love you all and am so thankful for how supportive and sweet you all are. We moved 7 months ago and I don't have any friends here yet who have very young kids so I get so lonely when things are rough.

Today is going much better for us sleep/nap wise. Elliot is napping now (Yippie) and went down with no problem. Of course he nursed to sleep and woke briefly when I transferred him to bed, but no crying. Last night he woke up one time and hardly nursed at all. So I put him back in his bed and he protested by whining very loudly, but not crying, for about 2 minutes. I almost went back in there but dh told me to get back in bed and if he cried, he'd get up. Well, no crying and we slept until 8. Hopefully this means we're on the way to no night nursing. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Claudia, I didn't even think about putting his milk in a sippy. Duh. That probably was just what he wanted. My brain was so tired I couldn't think.

And yippie for Chris's first birthday party. And here's some feel better wishes for him from us.

[haydensmom]

Crystal I'm glad to hear that things are a little better today with the nap situation. I hope it continues in that direction!!

Oh poor little Chris! I hope he feels better soon! I bet you just can't wait for those tubes!

It is gorgeous here today! It's not extremely warm, but that sun makes it hot! Brett's boss gave us this little toy car (we push and Hayden sits in it)... I took him out in that today and he had fun. I took some pics - I'll have to post later.

[tralynne75]

Poor Chris, i hope he is feeling better for his bday party. Take lots of pics!!I know you can't wait until he gets his tubes.

Debbie, I want to see pics of the new due!! I beat he is adorable!!

Sarah, did you call your friend?

[MarchMommy]

Hi ladies.......im sorry ive missed all the good convo lately.....but ill be back on monday to re-join the converstations. ive missed you all TONS and TONS!!!

i hope everyone is doing well and all the wee ones are well!!

[tralynne75]

We've missed you too Christi!! Wait to you hear what Claudia found out while you was gone. :shock:

The kids are on Spring break next week. :? That means I will have a house full of teenagers all week. Aren't I the lucky one? I guess I am lucky, at least they want to be at my house. I know what my kid is doing and who he hangs with and they all call me mom. Guess I need to go to the store and buy junk food and drinks.

[sarahlynn]

NO i havent called her yet :oops: my DH was trying to get me to last nigth but i just couldnt do it..

mayeb tonight i will try again..

i have no balls :lol:

[sunshine]

strap a set on and do it, Sarah! :lol:

[haydensmom]

Sarah - borrow dh's balls for a few minutes and call that lady!

Debbie, I can't get over how cute Gavin looks! Such a cutie patootie!

Christi, how was your reunion?? I bet Madi was so happy to see you. Did you cry? I would totally cry!!! :lol:

[without]

Here we go girls!!! We are going to hit Page 300! Wahoo! LOL


I took Morgan to the movies this weekend just the two of us and it was a blast! We also went and bought us both a new pair of shoes for Easter and ... I have all the stuff to make Morgans Easter dress now so if I am not around a lot this week its because I am rushing to get this dress done. :lol:


I hope you all had a great weekend!

Aly... how was the birthday party?

[newmami]

Hey everybody!! hope you had a good weekend
I did, we went to Carter's outlet and I got a little carried away buying clothes for Chris... why is it all boy's clothes have cars or sports????? anyways, Dani came out with some shorts and PJ (I shopped for her couple weeks ago), and Chris got soe onesis, PJ, one piece sets.... it was fun!!!
Then we took Dani to the swimming pool, she was freaked out at the beginning (water was cold) but at the end she was having a blast!!! couldn't take pictured because the batteries die, but I hope we can do this again soon... it feels good not to carry the belly for a while!!

Speaking of belly, my belly dropped again, so now it ends pretty much in my knees :lol: ... very uncomfortable if I may say so. DH is concerned that I would go into labor before the c/s date, and is making contigency plans... I am in denial, but I will pack the hospital bag just in case!!

Sarah, call your friend!! just pick the phone and dial!!

Candice, how is Chris doing?? hope the tubes make him feel better! it breaks my heart that we have so many sick babies, but it seems to me that tubes work very good!!

So, the audit is this week, and I hope I can have a quiet week, last one was busy and lots of physical work, and it wore me out!!

We made this frame with pictures of Dani for my In laws... one per month, it is soo cute!! DH is making one for me!! and he cooked all weekend because I was tired...

Tracy, somehow I do not envy you this week... house full of teenagers... ACK!!! :shock:

[sarahlynn]

Sarah - borrow dh's balls for a few minutes and call that lady!

yeah i cant seem to find his either these days :shock: I plan on trying to call her tonight after the kids go to bed..she has 4 kids so hard to talk when they are awake..lucea took late napps all weekend and went to bed at midnight one night and after ten the other nights..so it didnt work out..and i worked so .. ok excuses excuses i know i am a pansy..


Speaking of belly, my belly dropped again, so now it ends pretty much in my knees
OH how exciteing...are you ready?


Candice i hope that little man gets better soon..so far lucea has done great with her tubes..she didnt miss a beat..my fingers are crossed she doesn as well as Cy has done..we are going on 4 months with no missing school, no fevers, nothing besides a yucky nose on occasion..

[sunshine]

Pam, I can't wait to see the dress!

Claudia, YAY for shopping for Chris! Isn't it fun!? Hey, better listen to your DH...last time he asked you "what if it's a boy" he was right and now he thinks you'll go before your c/s date...is this man psyhcic? :lol: Just kidding. Hope the audit goes well and it's less physical this go round. Nice that your hubby is helping at home...what a sweetie.

Oh no Tracy...a house full of teens all week...I feel for you, hon.

Candice, hope sweet Chris is feeling better.

Blah...it's Monday again...where does the weekend go so fast?

[YellowRose]

Pam, I can't wait to see Morgan in the dress, I'm sure she'll be a doll!!

Claudia, I'm glad you had fun shopping! We need to go shopping for Caleb again soon!

Caleb had so much fun at the birthday party! He loved running around, playing with all the kids! They did an egg hunt, Caleb enjoyed that.. he found 3 eggs! He was so happy!!! He also had a hotdog for the first time! I've never seen a kid eat a hotdog so fast! He LOVED it!!!!! He was shoveling the pieces into his mouth by the fistfull!!! Silly boy! He also really enjoyed the cake! :lol:

I've been trying to find a pair of cream colored shoes for Easter and I cannot find ONE pair ANY WHERE!!!! I've looked all over! I have a cream flowery skirt to wear, but I don't have any shoes!!! What am I supposed to do?!

[sarahlynn]

so is everyoen dressing their kids up for easter?? i have no easter clothes for the kids..all they will do is get down right messy in them..but i would like pic of them in eater clothes..hmmmmmmmmmmm

yeah blah its monday and the weather is blah .. they say we may get another storm, snow, sleep, rain YUCK

So i am going to fargo this weekend with mom and sis and the kids and DHs friend he works with is turning 23..hmmm they joked about a party this weekend at my house and now i am going AHHH NO not at my house..no no no no..i told DH no drunk strangers wandering around my house..no no no..now i will be all paranoid this whole weekend..i hate strangers in my house when i am not there..do i sound like the nasty wife :lol:

maybe if i give him money for wood he can work on the basement instead of partying..

[without]

This darn dress is suposed to be simple but I keep adding things to it so its not as simple as it started out. :roll:

Morgan will eat just about any thing but wont eat a hot dog. :? To bad because I love grilled hot dogs. Also she loves red meats and doesn't really care for chicken. Sigh.... I hate most meats but will some times eat chicken. Cooking at our house is tough. :x I know you must have already tried but I saw some cream shoes at our Payless. I had a hard time finding a dress that wasn't black and white! Who ever thought black and white were good colors for Easter must be nuts! :evil:

Claudia,
Thanks you to I am now planing a trip for Morgan and I to go to Branson. Thats our nearest Carters outlet store. So now I have that to look forward to!


OK so I hate it that I bore you all with my love life but I have no one eles to talk to about it. So here it goes


I gave in and I am going out this weekend with this guy that I thought was sweet and shy but didn't find him attractive. I mean he doesn't make my zinger zing like James does if you know what I mean! :oops: Any way I said that I would go on a date with him this coming Saturday. Well I said yes last Friday and by Sunday night this guy who I thought was shy is already trying to talk dirty to me! :roll: He keeps saying over and over how excited he is to be going out with some one so "smok'n hot." 1st off I am not hot and 2nd when he says it over and over it makes me feel as if he doesn't value me as a person. He said he wants to cook me dinner at his house. I said no that since we didn't know each other that that we needed to be in public until I get to know him. Was that rude? I mean the guy is a total stranger. I so wish I hadn't said yes! The guy is starting to give me the willeys! I realy liked him as a person until he started talking about wanting to give me a back rub and kiss my toes! :yuck:



Wahoooo! For Page 300

[sunshine]

PAGE 300.......YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Pam, I don't at all blame you for wanting to go out in public with this dude. I wouldn't dare go to his house on the first date. And I might even let him know that his talking like that is making you uncomfortable since you've only just met one another. What's his rush? I tell ya, hon...dating is tough...I feel for you.

I'm gonna dress G up for Easter. He has a cute outfit from TCP. A shirt, tie, and vest with a really cute pair of pants and dress shoes. He looks like a little business man. You gotta dress them up and take a pic, Sarah! I don't blame you for not wanting a bunch of drunk stragers in your house while you're not home, I wouldn't either! I hope you are able to have fun this weekend though and not worry about them.

Aly, I found beige and tan shoes at TCP. Not cream though...good luck. That's so cute Caleb had fun at the party! Hunting for eggs and eating hotdogs and cake...he's getting so big.

I hate AF...I'm in a funk today...just feel so down...
why can't we all just be thin, healthy, and rich?

[YellowRose]

I did try Payless, but they didn't have any cream shoes. I tried to look for another dress that I could wear white shoes with... but all I can find is BLACK! Everything is black! It drives me nuts!!!

Yes, Caleb has an Easter outfit, my mom bought it for him. It's got a white shirt with a light blue sweater vest and dark blue pants. And we just bought him a pair of black dress shoes. I'll post pictures after Easter. I can't wait to see him in it!!!

I was looking at baby clothes the other day... and I soooooo want a little girl!!!!! They have SUCH cute little dresses... and shoes.. and those little purses! AH! I really want our next baby to be a girl!!!

[without]

why can't we all just be thin, healthy, and rich?

Here Here!!!

[BBKCD]

Pam, I wouldn't have dinner at his house either...See, I would just think he's having me over to get me in the sack right off the bat :wink:

[without]

Yep dinner at his house sounds a little to riskey for the first date!

[haydensmom]

Pam, I wouldn't have dinner at his house either...See, I would just think he's having me over to get me in the sack right off the bat :wink:

I don't think I'd have dinner with him at all! :shock: I would cancel to be honest!

[newmami]

Hey Pam, I would NOT go to that guy's house either!!! he seems a little freaky, so if you decide to go on a date, go out in public. If you don't want to, tell him babysitter cancelled and there is no one to take care of Morgan!

I don't do anything special for Easter... in Mexico we don't do a big deal out of it, like they do here... no egg hunting, fancy dresses or anything, so I just don't get it!! DH doesn't celebrate it either, so we will have a quiet weekend getting ready for Chris

Sarah, I would not allow a bunch of drunk men in my house either!!

Funny Pam that Morgan doesn't like hotdogs... Danielle LOVES them!!! heck she would eat anything!! we went out this weekend for hanburgers, she chomped on mine, lettuce, tomato and everything!! while SK has this long face because he doesn't eat hamburgers or hotdogs!! he should be ashamed when Danielle is a better eater than he is!!!
Oh! and honestly I think she handles silverwear better than he does!!! :roll: HE IS 9!!!!!!!!

Debbie, if I could pick I would be healthy and rich... I would do my part to get to the thin part!!

[without]

I really feel bad for this guy! I mean until I said yes he was a great kind guy. I think he just got a little excited and started putting his foot in his mouth. He is really shy face to face and I think the phone gave him a little to much guts. I found it to be a turn off no mater what the reason was. :? I couldn't back out because I said I would go and the poor guys on cloud 9! Sigh... I will suffer through it but I WILL NOT go to his house!

[BBKCD]

Pam, I wouldn't have dinner at his house either...See, I would just think he's having me over to get me in the sack right off the bat :wink:

I don't think I'd have dinner with him at all! :shock: I would cancel to be honest!

I would, too...well, depends on what restaurant he was taking me too :lol: But, seriously, if he's already talking dirty to you on the phone? That's sort of skeevy.

[haydensmom]

I totally agree!

[haydensmom]

I put up our gate today to keep Hayden away from the cat food that he wants to eat :roll: He is in front of the gate yelling right now. He's not very happy with his new restrictions. Poor kid! :(
