[newmami]

Problem is I already bought the other letters... I will try another store... ugh!!

OK, people at my work are driving me insane today!! I knew I should play hookie and stayed home........ chocolate anyone???? :?

[without]

I LOVE chocolate milk!! ok now I am off to pig on my pudding... yes ladies, dessert before lunch... HA!!! watch me

[sarahlynn]

so whats cheeper...

lanolium (sp?)

or those tiles that stick down?

i need a cheep remedy for my concrete basement floor till we can put wood floors down..

[without]

OH!!!! Don't do the peal and stick!! We did that in our bed room and my grooming shop and it isn't staying down! It was nice for about 6 months and then started to come up and even tore in a few spots! Now we are having to budget to replace the floors again. :evil:

[sarahlynn]

oh that sucks...!

[without]

I know. I cut my foot on a spot that had split on the floor! Dumb! I think its ment for people who just want to put some thing down that is cheap and fast that so they can sell there house. :roll:

[brcarrie]

We have that stuff in our bathroom and has been down for 2 years now with no problems. I bet it is the difference in brands but I have no idea what brand it is. We got it at lowes and I know my husband did a lot of prep work before putting it down.

[DIVADLX]

It came! It came! Our new Marathon is here!!!! Woo hoo!

[newmami]

Woo Hoo Jenn!! now Stella can ride in style... he he he

[sarahlynn]

[DIVADLX]

She only walks when she holds onto our fingers or something else... and thanks for your compliments! You never know she was up all night barfing!

[mombeemer]

She only walks when she holds onto our fingers or something else... and thanks for your compliments! You never know she was up all night barfing!

lol! :lol:

If we could all only hold up so well!

[1stgradeteach]

That's a darling carseat and of course your baby girl is a cutie too! :D

[MarchMommy]

Give me that phone! I'm gonna get it!
http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/911stella.jpg

[newmami]

Aww Stella is so cute!!! I love the determination in her eyes!!

Can someone PLEASE turn the AC off??? it is FREEZING in my office!!!

[daylilies]

I'm hot all the time; I'll come soak up some of the cold for you.
It has dropped to the 40's at night recently and I'm still sleeping in a big t shirt and with no blanket. Not sweating, just comfortable.

[sunshine]

LOVE the latest Stella pics and her beautiful carseat.

[MarchMommy]

stella is such a cutie.

well here in NC...its cold rainy and 63 degrees...i had to break out Madisons jeans..she didnt know what to think!!!

[sunshine]

65 degrees here and just finished raining. Gloomy day...makes me tired. G's been wearing jeans all week so far. Oh, we went shopping last night and he got the cutest sneakers from Stride Rite! I love that place!

[Jai]

Stella is soooo adorable!! And I LOVE that car seat. I was looking at them online the other day.

Its only supposed to be 70 here today, but the humidy in my house is so unbelieveable I had to give in and turn on the AC. We were all so sticky. :( I turned off the air after a 350$ electric bill I just got. :evil:

[newmami]

EEEKS Jai!! that is a horrible electric bill :shock:
Do you have fans? we leave the ceiling fans on when we are home, and it helps to keep the temp cool, without having to blast the AC...

[DIVADLX]

Oh my goodness... $350?????? Is that normal? I would have passed out...

Did you see Amanda's car seat posts? She found a place that sells Britax at a lower price... might be worth it!

[MarchMommy]

see, our bill is like that in the winter time...it SUCKS...

i think im going to buy Madi a britax. ive been shopping around for some...

[Crunchymomto3]

Wow....that's a wicked high electric bill!! In Florida, in the heat of the summer, our highest bill has only been $253!! And we have an older until...we're upgrading soon though and dh says that bill will be cut in 1/2.

[geebee]

We got the mini ones (Roundabout) for baby Lia, since all growth indicators point to a petite future. They're like thrones! I love them, and the prints are too cool. We've got denim and this tan plush.

[sunshine]

Dang Jai - that electric bill is monster high! Ouch!

G has a Britax carseat and we love it!

[newmami]

We definetly need to send Britax a letter and ask for some sort of discount, after all the free marketing we are doing for them in here

[without]

Same with the bumbo seat!

[sunshine]

You got that right! :lol:

Is anyone as bad as I am about loading pics off the digital camera? I've just finished downloading pics from the last 3 months! AhhH!

[geebee]

Awwww, that new pic of Gavin is SO cute, Debbie! He's a handsome one...

I've got about 6 months worth of photos on our digi cam full of Lia that I don't even remember taking. At some point when I have like an hour's time I'll do it.

[sunshine]

Thanks! He's one amazing little dude! (see my post titled "this boy")

ok....I'm ready for lunch already and it's only 10:30! :x It's raining again here today so I won't be walking at lunch time. Oh - and I heard a commerical on the radio on the way into work this morning...Mega Millions lottery jackpot is $163 MILLION DOLLARS...note to self: GET A TICKET! :lol:

[rhiannasmoms43]

The a/c bill sounds 'bout right from up here in Canada...ours was $695 for 2 months.

[geebee]

Yup Debbie, it IS nasty. I almost never pack my lunch for work because there are just too many eateries and yummy restaurants around the corner from my office. So I end up spending like $10 everyday on lunch. This weekend should be beautiful, though.

[sunshine]

I can't wait! MIL will be here again this weekend (for the 3rd in a row! :roll: can we get a break please?) so we'll be out of the house a lot!

:lol:

How big of a dork am I? I'm sitting in my office listening to Madonna's True Blue Album! I LOVE IT! :D

[newmami]

Send us some cold weather!!! it is still hot here, I am tired of the heat!!!

I am hungry too, just came out of a stupid meeting on our freezer (conference room), I just cannot warm up, and I am hungry!!!

So today is Dani's 10 month birthday, and tomorrow my 5th Wedding Anniversary!!!

[sarahlynn]

congrats.....!


i had my one year wedding ann in july...it seems like its been 30 years ... is that normal? :shock:

[MarchMommy]

congrats.....!


i had my one year wedding ann in july...it seems like its been 30 years ... is that normal? :shock:

ha....dh and i have been married for almost two years (on 11/27) and it feels like EONS! :lol: :lol:

[Jai]

Happy 10 Months Dani!! :)

DH and I have our 2 yr anniversary in Oct and it feels like SOOOOOOOOO long. But, we've been together for 7/8 years. That is a long dang time!! :shock:

I am in the process of planing a party for my parents for next Sept. They have their 25 yr wedding anniversary. Now if I could get my brothers to help some. YEA RIGHT!! :roll:

[DIVADLX]

Wow! For some reason I thought you all had been married longer. We just had our 5 year "anniversary" on Sept 1... the anniversary of our public wedding. December 30th is our 6th elopement-versary, when we were truly married. The day before Stella's first birthday!

:)

[DIVADLX]

So I am having trouble mattress shopping. When we first moved in together, we went furniture shopping and found a Grand Majesty Cal King mattress in the As Is pile for only $250. It was mis-marked and was actually a $1000 mattress, but they honored the price. When we moved we sold it. So now we need a new mattress and I am having such a hard time paying the $1000 for a good mattress...

Dang me for finding such a good deal the first time!

[newmami]

Oi Jenn... I hear you on the matress prices... why do they have to be so expensive??

Jai, how cool that you are planning your parents party, is it a surprise? My parents 25th anniversary party was really neat, their friends organized it without my parents knowing

[Jai]

We need a new mattress so bad. And I am such a cheap skate that I dont wanna buy one. :roll:

As of right now Im planning on it being a suprise. But Im not sure if it will actually end up being a suprise. The guest list is getting difficult. There is a brother on each side Im not sure if Im supposed to invite them. :roll: D-R-A-M-A!!

[MarchMommy]

Sears always has good mattress prices. thats where i got mine and they ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jai...good luck with pulling family to help you. i think it so great that your parents have been married for 25 years. you dont see that much anymore...

[newmami]

I agree it is awesome having parents that are still married... mine will celebrate their 38th Anniversary this year!! woo hoo!!

Oddly enough, their anniversay day is the same day I met DH....

[sunshine]

Happy 10 months to Dani! Happy Anniversary to everyone too! :lol:

DH and I have been married 3 years and it feels like forever too, but I love it that way.

I'm so excited! Just got back from taking pics of our new house...it's coming along nicely...I can't believe we are actually going to move!

DS is passed out on the sofa...he's so funny...he just gets sleepy and climbs up on the sofa and falls out! Silly boy! :lol:

[Jai]

Oooo, Debbie can we SEE pics~!! Pretty Please. :D

[MarchMommy]

yea i want to see house pics debbie!!! i hope the move goes well....

[brcarrie]

I thought everyone had been married for longer also. We have been married for 8 years and dated for 3 years before that. Seems like forever! Good luck Jai with the party we just had my mom and dads 50th party. I hope your brothers are better than mine were. They(well their wifes I think) got all mad cause my sister and I did not include them. We did but oh well.

Happy 10 month Dani

[DIVADLX]

How funny Sunshine! My husband just asked me last night has Stella ever just fallen asleep anywhere and I thought hard and the answer was no. Unless she's in her car seat, she never ever just falls asleep unless she's in her bed or in my bed or on the boob or being rocked or walked. The girl can be ready to pass out but she just won't crawl up on the couch and fall asleep.

In fact the other night, she was SOOO tired and my husband tried to just walk her to sleep, since we knew she didn't need food, but she just wouldn't go! So I sat back down and said, ok fine. I took out the boob, she laid down with a huge smile on her face, put it in her mouth, smacked ONCE and then spit it out, closed her eyes and nuzzled her chin in with the sweetest little smile on her face. She just needed that final snuggle.

[AprilMommy]

Okay.. I have never been in on this post and it has been going forever so I finally have decided to chime in!
First off, my husband and I have been married 6 years and happier than ever! :D Having a baby really makes you closer..

Also, Jai I just had a 25th annivesary party for my parents in March and it went so well. We went all out and my parents appreciated it so much, and it was so enjoyable! We had a beautiful wedding cake, dancing, and a tribute to the last 25 years with a picture slide show with music playing in the background. We couldn't have made it more memorable for them!

[MarchMommy]

THAT is so cute DIV! madi wont fall asleep on her own either...its usually on the boob, or being rocked...
or in the car sometimes....

[DIVADLX]

Ok so speaking of Stella sleeping... she took the weirdest nap today

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/sept16trainwrecknap.jpg

Hey - ladies - this thread was 5th from the bottom! We almost made MM the thread killer!

:)

[DIVADLX]

PS the pillow was in there because she eats and falls asleep on the pillow, but if I move her off of it, she wakes up and won't fall back asleep... the pillow is not always in there is what I am trying to say!

[tralynne75]

Stella is too cute. Is she wearing tights? I was looking at that car seat the other day also. It was onsale and wanted to buy it but $250.00 is alot of money for us right now to spend, hopefully katie will not out grow her car seat until after Christmas.

Someone said something about Amandas post about the Britax carseats at discount prices??? Please tell me where.


BTW Katie is getting to where she has to have a bottle to go to sleep. I thought something was wrong, so is this a faze or something? She just started about 2 weeks ago. Even when i know she is not hungry I still have to give her a bottle. Normally I just put water in it and after about an oz she is alseep.

[haydensmom]

Stella is so cute!!!

[austinsmommy]

Divadlx---Austin rolls into the weirdest positions when he is asleep. We put him to sleep in his back and by morning he is on his tummy with his face pressed into the mattress and up against the bumper as close as he can get. I get really worried when I see him like that, but he keeps finding his way back to that position.

[Jai]

It depends on the day/time/attitude where Pey goes to sleep. Most of the time though she only likes her swing or crib. Very rarely does she fall in my arms, and only sometimes in her car seat. :)

That pic of Stella is adorable!!

[DIVADLX]

Yeah - my solution to her large quantity oh Hawaii clothes in Seattle temp was just to add a lon sleeved onesie and tights under everything.

MM - those are her new shoes!

The bottle thing might be a phase, but it might not be. I'm not sure!

[Kimmeh]

holy crap look at all the replies to this :shock: I am not even going to attempt to read them :lol:

[MarchMommy]

aw, look at stella!!!!! she is too cute (i sleep like that too :D )

Sears has their Britax Roundabout on sale for $209.00 this week.....

[newmami]

Stella is too cute!! and I love the bedding too
Dani sleeps on the most uncomfortable positions, I swear the times she wakes up crying is because her arms or legs are numb!!

About the Britax carseats, yes they are pricy, but if you consider you will use them until 65 lb, that is the ONLY car seat you would need... after that they need a booster seat that maybe is about $20. If you buy a carseat that is good until 40lb, then you will need another one between that and the booster... that was our main argument to buy the Britax (I have the Decathlon)

[without]

Stella is so cute! Hey thats how I sleep! :lol: Poor DH :P

[sunshine]

:lol: G can sleep in the craziest places and positions! I'll have to post a few pics tonight after he goes to bed.

Stella is adorable!

[sarahlynn]

awww i love the pic of stella and her pillow....i am trying to remember what age DS started to sleep with his pillow..hmm not sure..

and those tights are to die for...

[Jai]

Every morning after Peys bottle, I lay her on her bedroom floor on a blanket with her toys while I get Marissa ready for school. She loves it. Well this morning she was awfully quiet so I peeked in at her. She was UNDER her crib. How she managed to get all the way off her LARGE blanket and under her crib is beyond me. But it was the funniest thing ever. :)

[DIVADLX]

Do you think she rolled? Or scooted? Either way - you've got a mover and a shaker on your hands!

[Jai]

I think she scooted. She only rolls when shes in her crib or Im changing her diaper.

I had her laying facing the door. Her crib was behind her about 2 ft. She manged to move alot in those few mins!!

[newmami]

Sneaky Pey!!! how adorable that she is mobile!!! in no time she will be crawling all over the place

I have a bad cold.... ugh my nose is stuffed and I have a sore throat.... the only good thing is I cannot smell yucky smells, which BTW make me gag :roll:

[sunshine]

YAY Peyton! She's such a cutie!

I really need to get a private jet to get to work! I work 32.2 miles from home and it took me 1 hour and 40 minutes to get to work today!!!! That's just nuts! I saw no accidents and it wasn't raining, which usually slows traffic down.... :evil: :evil: :evil:

[sunshine]

Sorry you have a cold, Claudia. Hope you feel better soon!

[newmami]

Oi Debbie!! sorry about the long commute.... I used to spend 1.5 hrs to go to work when I lived in Mexico, to drive 15 miles!!! :shock: I am happy that traffic is not that bad here... 20 min from-to work

Is your new house closer to your work???

[sunshine]

:lol: About 15 minutes further away in no traffic....we really are crazy. :D

Ok, Claudia. Can you look for a job for DH and I in Fl and we'll move!!! :lol: :lol:

[newmami]

No problem!! what does your DH do? I know you are in school to be a nurse, I am sure we can find something for you (had tons of customers who are doctors!!)
Then Gaving & Dani can be friends...... aaahhhh!!!

[sarahlynn]

aww silly little peyton..they are so sneeky...it just amazes me what these tiny little babies can do..


i am buying a britax when lucea outgrows her baby seat..i have made up my mind..they look so comfy...has anyone seen at target they ones that look very similar to the britax make..not sure what brand it is ..but i was walking by and i thought HEY THATS what i want and it was a differnt brand..


the other day lucea was up in her crib and i knew she was awake but she was content so i just let her stay there..and all of a sudden she was making this horrible yelling/screaming noise i had never heard before..i ran up the stairs and she had pulled her blanky over her face..her arms and leggs were flyin around and she was yelling away...goofy girl..

[sarahlynn]

EEEEEEEEEK i just noticed that in only 2 1/2 hours i have to take lucea in for her 4 month shots..

YUCK...

[DIVADLX]

Oh Claudia - sorry about your cold!

Sarah - shots are the worst!

Commutes - oh how I hate them! As a SAHM, my commute is the best! But I have paid my dues...

[sarahlynn]

UGh 40 minutes and lucea gets shots..you guys it about makes me sick to my stomach to think of it..i hate hate hate that she has to hurt at all...mayeb i could take a couple for her.. :cry:

[without]

I was in shock when Ms. M didn't cry at all when she had her 6 month shots! :shock: Lets pray she keeps it up when we go in, in January for the 1 year shots. :lol: I just can't stand to see her hurt!

[geebee]

It is really sad to see the little angels get their shots. Last time for Lia, she cried for about 2 minutes then she was fine. I am scared about her year appt though, when they have to draw blood! It'd be interesting to see how they do this...

Re commute, get this: I hitchhike into DC everyday!! Drivers pick up people when they need to find more bodies to ride in the carpool lane. It's free, fast and I don't have to drive!

[without]

I hitchhike into DC everyday!! Drivers pick up people when they need to find more bodies to ride in the carpool lane. It's free, fast and I don't have to drive!

Wow!! You are braver than I am! To many nuts around here. :lol:

[newmami]

Oi Gracie!! you are my hero!! I would be concerned with the psychos out there!!!

Baby shots.... can I just say I hate them????

[Jai]

I hate shots so much. Peyton did ok with her last ones. Only cried for a second. But it was AFTER that she was in pain. She seriously cried ALL day. And nothing I did helped calm her down. :(

[MommaAvoidinDrama]

I don't think I could ever muster up the guts to jump in a car with someone I don't know. Heck half the time I have a hard time riding with people I do know!!! LOL!!!!!! On the whole shots thing, I hate them soooooooooooo much Christopher takes them ok, but not without a good long scream for about 5 mintutes during and after.

[sarahlynn]

I hate shots..it just breaks my heart to see my babes hurt..but the worst was DS kindergarden shots..OMG he layed on the tabel in the clinic and i laid across him to hold him down..right before they jabbed him i looked at his face and he says "NO MAMA" and i lost it..ok i am crying just thinking about it :cry: i am a huge baby

when me and my sister were probubly 17 and 20 we were driving to another city to look at tattoos...well as we were leaving town we saw thsi guy onthe side of the road thumbin it...so my sister who is the biggest straight laced girl in the world says "he doesnt look so bad" i laughed and said "shoudl we turn around and get him" she said "sure"

ok so i flip the car around and we pick this guy up..he was clean cut and had this black duffle bag with him..welll holy crap i was a nervous wreck the whole drive which was an hour..it turned out he was a wrestleing coach from Oregon and he had his high school boys there for a meet..he has rented a car to go visit his grandma and it broke down so he was trying ot get back to the wrestleing meet. he offered to take us out to eat and asked us to come to the wrestling to meet the team..well we declined but he was super nice.

woudl i do it again..NO WAY..it was so nerve wracking..everytime that guy woudl reach into his duffle bag to show us something i thought for sure he was going to pull out a gun..i kept leaning closer and closer to the door wondering what would happen to me if i had to jump out.. :shock:

[geebee]

It was scary at first, but this hitchike system (called sluggin) has been around for about 25 years and some have been doing it for just as long. Since we're all commuters we see the same people everyday!!

[DIVADLX]

So do you stand out there with your thumb wavin' at passing folks? Do you then share gas money?

Wow. Who'da thunk it.

[geebee]

So do you stand out there with your thumb wavin' at passing folks? Do you then share gas money?

Wow. Who'da thunk it.

Nah, no thumbs. And it's free!

How it works: There is a line of cars waiting for passengers. You walk up to the car, ask where they're going. If they pass within 2 blocks of my office then I get in! I have two rules - I only get into cars that have atleast 1 other female in them, and I don't wait around in an empty parking lot. I also note who is a bad driver, or a talker, or who listens to really bad music, and I make sure to never get in their car!! Always an adventure getting into work....

So anyway, can someone share a good, easy recipe to make for dinner tonight? I have absolutely nothing in the fridge, and have to go to the g-store on my way home.

[without]

Just call me a big CHICKEN! Bawhak Bwahak Bwahak I would die of fright. Then yet I don't like riding with any one. I like to be the driver so my life is in my own hands. :lol:

[MarchMommy]

wow that is so strange gracie!! do you pay them for gas? arent you scared????

[sunshine]

Gracie - I've heard of this and have seriously considered it. The only thing is that what if the sitter calls and you need to go get Lila?

Shots really do stink! :(

[geebee]

oh, my DH drives to work everyday so he would pick her up in emergencies. I'd have to wait to hitchhike back home!!! Either that, or rely on public transportation (ugh)

I just don't get in cars with only men, or known fast drivers. It's a risk, but this broad is so cheap, I'll do anything to save a buck -- ha ha!!

[MarchMommy]

thats awesome, with gas prices like they are!!!

as long as you are safe!! thats all that matters!

[sarahlynn]

our gas just dropped to 2.39...from 2.89....!

why do gas prices seem to drop as GWBush's rateing drop... :?

[DIVADLX]

I'm going to keep quiet on this one in the name of not making anyone mad with my left-leaning politics.

:D

[Jai]

WOW!! That is so cool (about the hitch hiking / carpool thing) I dont think I could do it though. I rarely drive with people I know. My dad and DH are really the only ones. When its me and friends or my mom, I drive. :D

[Jai]

Our gas has been steadily dropping every day for like the past 2 weeks. Today it was $2.15. Yesterday it was $2.17. Im LOVIN it. Especially since Im ALWAYS in the car now. Do you know I now spend 2 hours a day in the car, and thats just taking Marissa to and from school. :roll:

[austinsmommy]

Send some of those low gas prices this way...we are still at 2.39....

[HollyJo]

We're at $2.61 here. We have an SUV that stays parked unless in case of an emergency. It's just too expensive to drive anywhere these days.

[HollyJo]

Next time you have to do something difficult you can say...

"Man, that was harder than a one legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond."

:lol:

My DH heard that one Beavis & Butthead tonight. I HATE that show, but even I had to laugh at that. It's so ridiculous it's funny. :D

[Mommy2Syd]

Hey, can I join you girls on this thread. I wanted to ask so I wouldn't be just butting in. If not, just tell me to BUTT OUT.

[Jai]

MommyToSyd~ OF COURSE!!! No need to ask. :) This is the chit chat thread. We talk about ANYTHING and EVERYTHING!!!! Whenever you have something to say, pop on in. :D:D

[Peanut's Mom]

"Man, that was harder than a one legged cat trying to bury a turd on a frozen pond."


That is the funniest thing I've heard in a while! :lol:

[DIVADLX]

Anything with the word "Turd" is a winner in my book!

[sunshine]

:lol: Bevis and Butthead! Is that still on?

I'm lovin the dropping gas prices! We get gas at Costco and yesterday it was $2.39 for regular and $2.42 for premium. Keep comin' down, baby!

It's pedicure day! :D

This morning I heard G fussing on the monitor and went down to check on him...the child had his pj's 1/2 off!!! He had poo'd, so I'm thinking that's why. But glad I come when I did...who knows what would have happened next! :shock:

[Jai]

You have a very determined little boy Debbie. When he wants something, he gets it. :D

Ive heard so many horror stories of little ones taking their diaper off and smearing poo everywhere. Its never happened to me *knock on wood* and I HOPE it never does!!!

[without]

Debbie!!! I am so glad to hear DD isn't the only one who takes her clothes off!


Does any one else have a baby that talks/sings/wimpers in there sleep?

[sarahlynn]

my girlfriend had a daughter who would take her diaper off and smear poo all over the place..ah huh eventually she just started making her clean it up..i am guessing she was 2-3?

My DS talks in his sleep .. its almost scary when you sleep by him..you will wake up and he is chattin away.. :shock:

[MarchMommy]

Does any one else have a baby that talks/sings/wimpers in there sleep?
yea madi does this, and at first we used to all go running but it dodnt take long to realze that she was still sleeping

our gas prices are waaaaay down too here to like $2.40. NC has one of the highest taxes on gas in the US :(

[geebee]

Lia doesn't talk or sing or whimper in her sleep, she SCREAMS!!!!! It is terrifying when she does it, too.

The lowest in the DC area that I've found is $2.25. I can remember when it was $.99 when I was in college!!

[Mommy2Syd]

Sydney will cry out sometimes too. It jolts me so bad when it happens too. When I get to her room she is just sleeping. I wonder what babies are dreaming about that makes them do these things.

[tralynne75]

Yes Katie will whimer and sometimes make gurgling noises. Today in my arms she was kinda 'talking" as she was drifting off.

welcome mommy2syd...I was going to name my DD Sydney. My fav tv show was Alias and we loved that name.


I just had my tooth pulled and am starving!!!! I have a big hole, please tell me it goes away. I tried to eat mac and cheese but a macaroni got stuck in the hole. I had to fish it out. :shock: And why when I have something done which means i will be in pain my DH has to go some where??? With my c-section he had to run the roads daily and again today. :x

[DIVADLX]

Tracy - whenever I have something painful, or wrong with me, my husband just has to one-up me... I would rather he was just out of the house!

"I had my tooth pulled today"

"You know, my teeth have been hurting too. AND they've given me a migraine..."

Arg! Men can be such babies!

[BBKCD]

Tracy - whenever I have something painful, or wrong with me, my husband just has to one-up me... I would rather he was just out of the house!

Ummm....David had to go next door to the ER for a phantom foot problem while I was in the hospital after having Ciara...And every time the nurse would come in and ask me if I wanted anything for pain, I'd say "no"--then David said, "the next time she asks, say YES", b/c he wanted it :shock: How is that for having a man try to out-do your pain?

[tralynne75]

Oh yes my ex use to do that all the time. Once I was so sick they was going to put me in the hospital if my fever didn't break by morning and was supose to be in bed, well he gets the chicken pox. I was like ...OMG I can't believe this. Now my Dh will have something wrong with him tomorrow and the world will be coming to the end. LOL!!

[DIVADLX]

Oh Michael - what is it with them??? When we talk about our birth story, for hubby it is always all about the ONE time I squeezed his hand really hard... how yeah, I was fine, just going through the normal labor stuff, but HIS poor hand...

It drives me nutty!

[geebee]

oh, I gotta good one too...

A day after giving birth to Lia, I was still in pain and nursing a bad cold. I got up to go to the bathroom and to change Lia's diaper. DH flopped down on my bed and zonked out because he was SO tired. Didn't even give me room to sit on the hospital bed.

[BBKCD]

Oh Michael - what is it with them??? When we talk about our birth story, for hubby it is always all about the ONE time I squeezed his hand really hard... how yeah, I was fine, just going through the normal labor stuff, but HIS poor hand...

It drives me nutty!

LMAO--he told everyone you just about broke it, I'll bet.

[Jai]

My DH is ok about not trying to one-up me with pain. He rarely ever complains. BUT....he's a PITA about his sleep. He feels he HAS to have a straight 8 hours (at least) sleep to function. "HELLO, what about ME?!?" Hes a dweeb.

Tracy, yes the hole will close up. I had a molar pulled about 2 years ago. I cant remeber exactly how long it took to close but it will. You wont even notice it anymore. Keep your tounge out of it now though. I know its hard, but you could end up with a dry socket if you play with it. I know!! :(

[DIVADLX]

Funny thing is that that ONE time I squeezed his hand, he whimpered, so I let go and apologized and started just grabbing one finger instead... all in the middle of a contraction!

Tracy - I hope you feel better soon. I really hate dental work, but I have to go in soon since I haven't been since Stella was concieved.

[MarchMommy]

MEN ARE SUCH BABIES.....

my dh is a PITA when hes sick, you would think that hes freaking dying from the way he carries on :hissy:

[without]

must just be a man thing. if I say I didn't sleep well my DH says "I didn't get a wink of sleep" even though I was up half the night and he never once woke up! If I say my head hurts he tells me about a palet he dropped on his foot at work. :sneeze:

[Mommy2Syd]

welcome mommy2syd...I was going to name my DD Sydney. My fav tv show was Alias and we loved that name.


THANKS!! I have lurked long enough...it was about time I started posting more.


As far as our babies... and not the ones in our signatures. My DH does not try to one up me on labor and the birth. He KNOWS that he would have never been able to deal with that. But besides that whenever he has the slight thing wrong ...watch out, it's the end of the world!

[sarahlynn]

why are men liek that...about a week after i had lucea (by c-sec) my DH mom and step dad were in town and he dropped a bench on his toe...he told everyone within a 5 mile radius about it and kept whining about it for days..finally when his mom was over i got so tired of it i said " I JUST HAD MY DARN BELLY SLICED OPEN AND A BABY PULLED OUT AND I HAVENT SAID A DARN WORD ABOUT IT ENOUGH ABOUT THE TOE ALREADY" boy he shut his mouth than..ugh..and the sad thing is now DS takes after him..every little thing that happens to him he freaks out like he cut his arm off..

men are babies...

[sarahlynn]

on another note

anyone have a child that stutters?

my sisters little boy who is 2 1/2 all of a sudden started stuttering..i think he is trying to talk way to fast and gets caught up like a record.

I I I I I I I I I I I I I love you auntie......!

WE WE WE WE WE WE WE are gonna have pizze....!

thats how he talks...he is so cute....

[without]

I did for a while and I think that was my problem. I had so much I wanted to say and I was so excited I couldn't get my mouth to work with my brain. :lol: It went away. :P

[geebee]

I did for a while and I think that was my problem. I had so much I wanted to say and I was so excited I couldn't get my mouth to work with my brain. It went away.

This is like my SIL. Her brain works faster than her mouth -- she talks SUPER fast, and gets caught up on her words.

A friend of mine had a son who was tongue-tied. He was 3 years old and had great difficulty expressing himself - couldn't understand any of his words. Got an operation - now I think he's in 2nd grade and is super smart, quite eloquent.

[Jai]

I love hearing stuttering little kids. They sound so cute. :D

My brain goes faster than my mouth and sometimes my words come out all jumbled. I have to tell my self "Slow Down". Ive actually had to tell Marissa that quite a bit. Especially when she gets excited. :D

[BBKCD]

I think it's a marker for high intelligence :wink:
I have to get off apa :cry: I need to go shave my legs....DD will be up anytime, and if she starts crying while I'm in the tub, I'll probably slice-and-dice my legs :shock:

[sarahlynn]

Wow i wonder when the last time i shaved my legs was... :?

[Mommy2Syd]

I hate shaving my legs, armpits and stuff. Ugh... it's such a chore.

[MarchMommy]

i shave my legs EVERY DAY.....without fail. i cant stand not to have my legs shaved!!!


oh...i got my KOZY TODAY!! so happy.............. :lol:

[Jai]

Ladies, this was at the BOTTOM of the page. :D Did we run out of things to talk about?

Dh and I had an "oops" last night with the Pull Out and Pray method. :shock: Im not too worried, since I want another baby and was ready for one soon after Pey was born. :D And wierdly enough, DH isnt that worried. He was the one who wanted to wait until next June. So I was looking around and last night is considerd "Fertile" day and today is considered a "High Fertile Day"

So hows that for some conversation? :D:D

[HollyJo]

Wowie Jai!

Well, I'll be keeping my eye on you for the next couple weeks for any mood swings, sudden bouts of nausea, or extreme exhaustion. ;)

[ali's june baby]

OOH, Jai, those are the best kind of accidents :D

[austinsmommy]

Jai---I will be anxiously waiting the news! I was ready too right after Austin was born, but we are not trying right now...probably not for another 2 years. So sad because they grow up so fast!

[Jai]

:D:D

I just talked to DH (Hes at work for the night) and he told me hes not worried at all. Hes actually a little excited. Which is very odd for him. He said he started thinking about it last week. He said Peyton changed him. :) So, that makes me feel better. At least hes not freaking out. :D

[mombeemer]

Wow, Jai, I'm so jealous! I wish my dh was so receptive! :wink:

[austinsmommy]

Jai --I am glad he is excited about it. I wish my husband would be ready sooner. I mean I am not ready YET, but will be in soon (like a year) and he said he wanted to wait until Austin was in kindergarten....hen it was 3 years, then it was 2. darn it I wish he would make up his mind...

Keep us posted :)

[Mommy2Syd]

These are the best kinds of OOPS! :D I hope you have a surprise in two weeks! If not though, are you guys going to TTC?

[haydensmom]

Aww Jai, I'm sure we'll all anxiously await news! But if not then yay for no morning sickness yet :wink:

[DIVADLX]

OK so am I the only one here that's just jealous that Jai got to have some nookie with the hubby?

:D

[Jai]

Lol Diva!! :D:D

I dont wanna keep boreing you all with this, but I have to talk to someone. :D

DH just texted me out of nowhere with "I think Im a little excited" So I asked him what that meant, and he said we'll wait and see what happens now and if Im not then we'll discuss what to do next. (TTC or waiting) Im tellin you all, this is just so strange. It took a LOT of talking before we concieved Peyton. He was so scared and not sure if he even wanted any more kids after Marissa, and now this? I think Im a little in shock.

So I guess only time will tell, and I can tell ya its gonna be a LONG few weeks.

The ONLY thing I am worried about is other peoples remarks? Since Peyton is only 5 months old. Ya Know? The bad part is, Ive been telling others "Who cares what other people say" "Its none of their business" And here I am worrying about that. Geesh!!

[MarchMommy]

oo i had alot to catch up on!

JAI...you better keep us posted!! and who cares about others remarks??!!?? i wouldnt .... tell them to "SHUTTY" :lol:

[1stgradeteach]

OMG! I am gone for a weekend and come back to find threads about Jai's night , pull and pray, and the word Fertile!!!

I cannot wait to hear from Jai in about 14 days after she's POAS!


:D :D :D

[Mommy2Syd]

People will make comments no matter what. You can't please them all I suppose. That's so awesome that your DH is on board with all of this! You must be so excited!

Will 3 be it for you guys or will there be more? :D

[Jai]

No, just 3. We are hoping for a boy, but another girl would be great too.

We agreed on 2 when I got pg w Pey. And if she had been a boy, I think we may have stopped. Although, after I had her I wanted another one right away. Didnt matter the sex. But 3 will be it. We would like to have the next one close in ago to Peyton.

[DIVADLX]

Eh - if people say something... I can hear it - 'already? Didn't you just have a bby?" You can just tell them that yeah - and they are so wonderful that you just had to have one more!

I think it would be fantastic!

[Jai]

I know I shouldnt even worry about that. I mean, they arent the ones taking care of them or supporting them. DH and I are. I just worry about what others think of me. :roll:

I could kick DHs butt for getting me all excited. And for him being excited. Now Im back on the kick of wanting one right now. I was getting used to the fact of having to wait. I am very thankful though, that hes excited. I just hate having to wait.

Thank You all for talking with me about this. I dont know what I would have done tonight without you.

[DIVADLX]

Oh Jai, I would be so excited too... and I totally get what you're saying! I have been ok with waiting until at least December for a next one, when the other day DH comes in and says "So, when would you like another kid?" And of course, I'm a bit of a smart a$$ and said "Boy you'll do anything to get sex won't you!" and he said "Uh Huh!" Later we revisited the conversation, and he intimated that he's ready whenever.

Sure does make Dec look farther and farther away!!!

Wouldn't it be fun if a group of us started TTC at the same time!

Oh dear, I think I need to lay off the APA for a while. I am talking about planning my next child around the TTC plans of my internet friends!!!!!

[rhiannasmoms43]

Whoo-hoo Jai!
Hoping for a BFP!

[without]

Jai,
Can I give my DH phone number to your DH?!? Morgan is our 1st and I think it will tak a lot of begging and praying on my part to get a 2nd and I want one so bad! LOL

I hope it works out for you! Come on BFP

[MarchMommy]

i know we want more, but we are going to wait till next spring to try again....it will be our last, so i want to wait and really enjoy it, because it will never happen again!! :(

[newmami]

For all those wanting another one, but having a hard time convincing DH.... he will have to accept it if it just happens.... DH was not convienced about having another one, now apparently Someone else made the decision for him!!!

Jai, I am keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

[geebee]

Me too, Jai! When are you gonna POAS? Did you mention already?

My DH decided no more kids for us, which left me heartbroken. I'm going to bring it up again when Lia's potty trained (though I ain't no spring chicken....)

[MarchMommy]

Claudia, i keep forgetting that you are pregnant, cause you dont have a ticker!!

[Jai]

Im not sure when Ill POAS. I talked to Kimmie, since she knows so much about TTC and Ovulating and everything. She said if I 'O'd this morning (which Im almost positive I did) and I bd'd at all in the past 5 days I have a HUGE chance of getting pg. And that I could test in 12-14 days. So.....2 weeks from today is DH and my 2 yr wedding anniversary. So I might test then. :D

[MarchMommy]

ooo what a neat anniversary gift!!!

[newmami]

Jai, we got the PG confirmation on our 5th wedding anniversary!!! :shock:
Wouldn't it be weird if you get yours the day of your Anniversary?????

MM, I tried to put another ticker and it won't let me b/c I have Dani's picture and her ticker, and I feel bad removing them, so I only added the EDD

[rhiannasmoms43]

Milestones for the good news are awesome! I POAS on Mother's Day. It was the best family present ever!

[MarchMommy]

yay claudia...now i can keep track of how far along you are!!

[Jai]

Claudia- Peys B-day is April 27th!! This is such a great time to be pg!! Although, you still have the heat in FL dont you?

[BBKCD]

Im not sure when Ill POAS. I talked to Kimmie, since she knows so much about TTC and Ovulating and everything.

So.....2 weeks from today is DH and my 2 yr wedding anniversary. So I might test then. :D

Ok...I missed all this. Hrump! Um, so there was no "pull out"? (OT, but I wonder what the %'s for pg are with that method)...
Good luck! Hope the little soldier was armed with a "Y" chromosome, but girls are wonderful, too :D

[newmami]

It won't be so bad, considering it gets hot in May...

OK, am I crazy or Sherry looks like Angelina Jolie in her picture????

[MarchMommy]

claudia...everyone says that about sherry, and yes she does!!!



BTW...im LOVIN this fall weather we have here..........its SO freaking nice....

[Jai]

Yes, the fall weather is AWESOME!!! It was like 68 degrees here today. Theres a smell in the air when the weathers like that. Its so refreshing!!

[austinsmommy]

March Mommy---I totally agree....enough of the 90 degree days! I am so sick of it being hot down here! I love wearing sweaters and sweatshirts! A little snow wouldn't hurt either! :)

[MarchMommy]

snow? we dont see much of the white stuff here do we? just sludge and ice, and idiots who dont know how to drive on it....

:lol:

[HollyJo]

Claudia is pregnant?! I totally missed that! AHH!! Must've happened while I was gone. CONGRATS Claudia!

I love this fall weather too. It's fabulous. It was mid 70's today so DH and I took Caiden for a nice long walk for a couple hours. We played in the shade under the trees, walked around the lake, played at the park. This time of year makes me happy.

[HollyJo]

I just noticed... this thread is nearing 100 pages! :shock: :lol:

Man, you girls sure love to gab. ;)

[lorilou74]

Holy Cow...over 19,000 views to this!!!!!! :shock: :P

I don't know why I did not post earlier on here...oh like 95 PAGES AGO!!!! :lol: :lol:

[DIVADLX]

That's a good question... for PO&P to work at all there has to be some PO... I'm thinking that was the oops...

[Jai]

LOL. :D

I guess I had a very caring DH that night. TMI - ok? I was getting ready to "O" and he didnt want to stop and ruin it for me, he thought he could hold it. But then realized he couldnt after he already started. See, told ya it was TMI.

Im partly wondering if it was a little of a slip up on purpose. Since now hes tellin me he wants another one and is excited. And doesnt really want to wait til next June. And since hes known Im ready again now. Of course, he wouldnt admit that. :D

[newmami]

Still keeping my fingers crossed for you Jai!! and hope it is a boy this time!!

I hate you girls with Fall weather... it is still 95F in here!!! :?

[without]

When I got up this AM it was 48!!! I had to pull our Ms. M's winter clothes and none of them fit they are all to big.

[BBKCD]

LOL. :D

[MarchMommy]

jai, you could always take your temp to see if its elevated.....

just a thought...dont know if it will work....

[Jai]

LMAO Micheal thats too funny!! And true too. Ill have to tell him that. :D

Christi, I thought about that. Since I was reading all about finding out if I ovulated or not. But wouldnt I have to have temps to compare to? To know if they were elevated?

[MarchMommy]

good point...... :?

shows what i know about TTC.....

[Jai]

Yea thats ok, I was looking for charts to see what EWCM looks like. :oops: :shock:

[tralynne75]

Whoo Hoo Jai!!! I am so excited for you. Us June 2006 mommies was waiting to see who the first June 2007 mommie would be. I was having the preggy systoms and I was scared to death but since I found out I was not I am now disappointed. But I know I would have to listen to Dh and his family fuss so it may not be worth it. I was be watching for when you POAS.

Diva, I am with you on the jealous that Jai is getting any but it seems you have gotten some too. I guess I am left out in the cold. Serves me right since we had a huge fight and I told him he sucked in that area. LOL!!!! The things I say when I am mad.

And the weather is awesome here today. It is killing me to stay inside today.

[MarchMommy]

Diva, I am with you on the jealous that Jai is getting any but it seems you have gotten some too. I guess I am left out in the cold. Serves me right since we had a huge fight and I told him he sucked in that area. LOL!!!! The things I say when I am mad.



oh no!!! :|

[jazzmom]

Wow, I should've checked in here earlier. Jai you might be pg again?? Here's hoping for ya!

Tracy that's funny. Not that you haven't gotten any, but what you told your DH. Well, I'm sure he didn't think it was funny, but it's kinda funny to read about....hope you guys make up soon.

[newmami]

If someone is missing the sex, I can share some.... my DH is a neverending source of sex.... :shock:

Ok, enough with you rubbing on my face your lovely weather.... I want FALL!!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

JAI ?

your tryin for another?

OMG i am so so so so happy for you....

but darn it woman your givin me the baby itch !!!

eeeek LOOK OUT DH!

[DIVADLX]

Oh Tracy... we're at 10 months and counting in our never ending dry spell, so you're not alone!

Holly is right - the fall weather here has been amazing. Crisp and cool in the mornings and evenings, sunny and warm, but crispy-breezy all day... it is perfect.

I was SO done with the perpetual heat and humidity of Hawaii. This weather makes me so happy!

[MarchMommy]

Jen i dont understand how you can go 10 months without booty..... :? isnt your DH chomping at the bit???

[sarahlynn]

my DH went 4 months after lucea was born.. :cry: i feel kinda bad..

but my drive just isnt back yet

and he sleeps on the couch..brat~

[newmami]

Jenn, if I deprive DH for more than 2 days, he is all messed up!! I admire yours for being so patient and understanding with you!

[DIVADLX]

Yes he is.. but he is patient.

Well. we didn't monkey around from 3 weeks before Stella was born because we didn't want to make her come early. Then for about 2 months PP I was still healing and not sleeping and really, the last thing I wanted was sex. Then we hit a rough spot in our marriage and I didn't want any... then that was worked out and we decided to move so between packing, working and caring for Stella we were both totally pooped. Actually sex in Hawaii was not all it cracked up to be. Its so hot that before anything even gets started you're both sweaty and gross. I HATE sweating and feel my least attractive covered in sweat.

BUT the biggest problem has been birth control. I have always had a very tight hold on my fertility and ALWAYS have a minimum of 2 pieces of protection in place, and one of them was that we would abstain during the fertile time. But since BF'ing I don't know when that is anymore. I don't want to mini-pill or anything else because I am SO afraid of milk supply issues. Anyway, I am getting more regular and also a little less control freakish about the whole thing.

So now we're here and things are looking up. I think nookie is near.

My mom likes to tell me that he's a handsom man and if I don't give it soon, he'll find it somewhere else. Thanks mom.

PS - not in a million years would he... he is my best friend above everything and I am his, and that's not the kind of thing best friends do!

[DIVADLX]

PS - I had a gynecologist tell me I was lucky that he hadn't left me! That was the last time I saw her!

[MarchMommy]

PS - I had a gynecologist tell me I was lucky that he hadn't left me! That was the last time I saw her! wtf? :shock:
i would have clocked her right then and there. that is NONE of her business....

my sex drive is almost non existant. DH is ALWAYS after me for sex. i feel like he doenst understand sometimes. but , i try to give it up some... :roll:

[DIVADLX]

Yeah, after Stella was born, my drive was negatory. It's been kicking up since the move, but not nearly what it was before Stella.

I don't know about you girls, but a little part of it for me is that I worry about having a let down in the middle of it.

I think part of it too is that my whole body has been redefined since Stella. My breasts are now food sources, and the rest just doesn't seem like mine really.

Oh and while I type this Stella is kindly unpacking the soda cans from the carton. She is surrounded by cans of diet Cream Soda and diet Root Beer.

[geebee]

ah ladies, I just had to chime in here! I am in the "no sex drive" club too. Didn't have any nookie last 3 mos of pregnancy, that almost killed my DH. After Lia was born, the last thing I wanted to do was have sex. But really, taking care of Lia (or children in general) requires your entire devotion - something's gotta give, right? In my case, it was taking care of my & DH's physical needs....

[MarchMommy]

i think BFding has ALOT to do with lack of drive and the hormones that it takes to nurse...

stella unpacks your sodas...that is too funny....

[MarchMommy]

OK SO *i* have a question...what is it about men and thinking that they have to HAVE sex???? no one has ever died from lack of sex have they?? :evil:

i know its important in a relationship...but is it really a NEED???

[Jai]

LOL, No I dont think anyone has ever died from lack of sex.

I dont get it either. I can understand the want for it, but how in the world it becomes a need is beyond me. And Dh "needs" it like twice a day. Although, he has to get it from himself. :roll: :lol:

I have this thing where I only like to at night. Not in the morning and not during the day. And with DHs work schedule the weekends are the only time its even possible.

[DIVADLX]

[Jai]

HaHa Stellas TOOO cute!!

[tralynne75]

Stella is so funny and just the cutest thing.

Well my Dh is backwards. He is the one who doesn't want it. :shock: We went through a really rough spot and I did and sometimes still do think that he lost his drive since I have gained weight. Who knows he anit saying why he lost it. I on the other hand could have sex at least 3 times a week (yes i know that is not alot but still).

The last time we BDed Katie woke up during it and we had to hurry up while she cried. LOL!!! Not so romantic huh??

I have a stupid question. So the pull out and pray method means exactly what it says right??? During sex before he 'shoots' you pull out and pray nothing leaked right??? The reason why I am asking is because we did this and normally always do this. I didn't think about being able to get preggy this way. I guess I better buy some protection huh??

[geebee]

OK SO *i* have a question...what is it about men and thinking that they have to HAVE sex???? no one has ever died from lack of sex have they?? :evil:

i know its important in a relationship...but is it really a NEED???

LOL!!! Exactly what DH & I fought about last month!!! Ask any guy, and they'll say yup, it's definitely a need. But just like Jai said, let them take care of themselves!!

[newmami]

DH says it is a need for him... so I just give in and help him take care of business... even though I have fallen asleep couple times :oops:

I don't see what is the point of doing something just to get the release that an orgasm brings... what about the "making love" part??

Either way, what creeps me the most is that I have to understand that he has "needs".... but he cannot understand that I have no sexual desire... ugh!!!, and then he says "I want you to have a good O".... hello??? not interested here!!!

[MommaAvoidinDrama]

I HEAR YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

[MarchMommy]

diva...stella is so busy!!!! :D


oh i love my dh's line this is what he tells me ...." you are the only person i havent gotten bored with. all my old g-friends used to beg ME to have sex with them"
:?

im like "and........your point is"

i like it at night better too jai....morning booty isnt fun.... :roll:

[DIVADLX]

At night you've just brushed yur teeth, you're relatively clean, often freshly showered and smelling nice... in the morning you're all full of funk!

I think men just get it in their heads that its a "need" to get us to feel bad when they don't get it. I feel bad for hubby because he doesn't push, but I know he wants it - it makes me want to give it to him.

If he pressured me or made it my "duty" - forget about it.

MM - they used to beg him? Oh what a line!!!! Did you laugh at him? :)

[MarchMommy]

full of funk.....ha..... :lol: why yes i am..... :P

um yea, i laugh at him...cause its FUNNY. im like "yea, uh huh, ok...."

honestly, i dont get the NEED aspect of it. you NEED food, you NEED money, you NEED water, you NEED toilet paper....
these things are necessary for survival...sex....you dont need that to live.

[newmami]

Christi, I love your list of needs, specially toilet paper!!! :lol:

We should tell our DH, that if they went 12,15,18 years without sex and they survived, then that is enough proof they don't NEED it!!

[MarchMommy]

i see a ticker claudia!!!!!!


well i have bad news....my grandfather died this morning. he had prostate cancer a few years ago, and it ended up coming back and spreading. he had a heartattack two saturdays ago, was in ICU, and we all went up to say 'goodbye' to him last sunday. they wouldnt let him see the babies (my brother also has a 2 year old) so we were going to take the babies down this sunday to see him because basically he went home to die, but he passed away this morning. he was in alot of pain and basically begging to die..

so ill be on and off, cause the funeral/visitation is two hours away.
i think the visitation is tomorrow and the funeral will be friday!!

say some prayers for my family...he was a very highly respected man in his community, he was a pastor, ran a battered womens shelter and gave alot to the underprivledged kids in the community. he was a good man!!

[newmami]

:cry: I am sorry about your Grandpa Christi :(
He sounds like a wonderful man, and I am sure he would be missed.

I will be thinking about you and your family

HUGS

[without]

Christi
Sorry to hear about you Grandfather! My thoughts and prayers will be with you family.

[Jai]

Christi, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you and your family. *HUGS*

[Peanut's Mom]

MarchMommy - So sorry about your grandfather. He sounds like a wonderful and loving man. I'll be thinking of you and your family this week. Take care.

[BBKCD]

((HUGS)) Christi...sorry for your loss.

[sarahlynn]

in the morning you're all full of funk! :)


HA! i am useing this one next time...

HONEY BACK OFF your all full of the FUNK!

[MarchMommy]

thanks ladies....i appreciate it. my grandma is taking it really hard....

[lorilou74]

Oh honey, I am so sorry about your grandfather. :(

Christi - how long were your grandparents married? Is your grandmother healthy too? Must be hard for her - I mean on the one hand she has lost her life partner, but often in situations with long illnesses, there is an element of relief - relief that the person is finally out of pain, but also a personal relief that the wait is over AND also it is exhausting to take care of a sick person.

Anyway, I can't imagine losing my husband now, and we've only known each other for 9 years. In 50 years he'll be such a part of me, that I don't know that there'll really be a distinguishing line between us.

So, so far Stella's vocab is Mama, Papa, and Hi Kitty... but I think she is saying her own name now too. It sounds more like "tella" but she'll repeat after me, and she'll point to my screen saver and say "tella." Is it possible?

[newmami]

If you keep calling her Stella it is only natural that she will learn her name Jenn
That is why I refer to myself as Mama, so Dani will learn

Funny thing, yesterday all she was saying was APA...... hmmmm........ :roll:

[geebee]

Lia says mama, dada, kitty and good girl. And when she says mama, she usually screams it, like "ma MAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

oi.

[without]

Morgan says mama, da da and bye bye.

she makes lots of sounds but not a lot of words. The worst part is when I pick her up from day care she reaches out for me and starts saying Da da da da. :roll:

they had been married for 30 years.....a very long time....
she has taken care of him for the past two years since he got sick. but the past month or so was the hardest for her...watching him die...

[geebee]

Kristi, I'm so sorry about your granddad. Atleast he got to meet Madi... as sad as it is to lose someone who's been sick for a long time, it can be a relief too - that he's not suffering or in pain anymore.

I'm thinking about you & your fam.

[rhiannasmoms43]

March Mommy
It's wonderful that a couple can enjoy each other for that many decades. Hope your family is doing well during this loss.

[zmom]

Christi,

Sorry for your loss.

[newmami]

Who else would be off work on Columbus day???
I LOVE working for a bank!! we have all this non sense holidays!!

[geebee]

non-profits do too!! We follow all the government holidays. Wish it were today though ... it's beeautiful outside, right now. I am so feeling the fall fever.

[without]

I work for the state and we get lots of days off but we don't get that one. :hissy: To bad because I could use a day off for a reason other than illness. :sneeze:

[tralynne75]

Christi, I am so sorry for your lost. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

[newmami]

Thank you to whoever sent that cold front to Florida... it is not cold here, but this morning was 65!! it feels so nice to get out of the house without the sweat!!

So big plans for the weekend??? we are going to the Food and Wine Festival at Epcot center, and for the second year in a row, I will have to skip the Wine part :?

[geebee]

This weekend is going to be GREAT! There's a book fair on the Smithsonian mall Saturday, and I'm taking Lia with me. I made a carrier out of a fancy pillowcase and some stretchy fabric, so want to see how she handles it walking around on my back.

DH restores antique war motorcycles for a hobby, so he's putting one of them in a bike show this Sunday. We're also going to look for a pumpkin patch! I'm excited to get a picture of Lia sittin' in a patch - her first fall!!!

[rhiannasmoms43]

Thank you to whoever sent that cold front to Florida...

:shock: It was me!!! It was me!!! Did I win a free trip to Florida? :lol:

Wah HOOOO Page 100!!! :lol:

I work 6 days a week. doesn't leave much time for fun on the weekends. :roll: I think after work on Saturday Morgan and I are going to try to get to Sams. Thats if I am not dog tired (pardon the pun). :?

[preahd]

Christi, I hadn't gotten a chance to catch up with this post for a while but just saw the news on your grandfather. I am soooo sorry to hear that. I know he's in a better place and relieved that he's not in pain any longer, but I know that's still gotta be hard. Hopefully with the family coming together, that'll help your grandmother. But, 30 years with someone is a long time to just get over in a few days. I will keep your family in my prayers.

[newmami]

Awww!! I want to have fall and go to a pumpkin patch... the ones in here suck!! and yes, it is not very wintery when you go get your Christmas tree wearing shorts and sunglasses.... UGH!!!

Glad to see I wasn't the only one excited to see 100 pages on this thread!!

[sunshine]

:lol: Can someone update me on what this thread is about now? I can't read all 100 pages....

[Jai]

Dont worry about reading the whole 100 pages. Just read as far back as you want. Coversation changes a couple times a day.

[sarahlynn]

:lol: Can someone update me on what this thread is about now? I can't read all 100 pages....


THERE is no way humanly possible we could do that :lol: its about everything imaginable and unimaginable...!

Claudia, just curious. Since you grew up in Mexico and now live in FL, have you ever experienced winter? I had a college roommate from CA, and until she moved to DC she had never even felt snow before. She was in total amazement. I've always lived in the NE, so I totally take the cold weather and snow and ice for granted. Heck, I HATE the stuff by February!

[DIVADLX]

So true! If it wasn't for the snow on mauna Kea, many of my Hawaii friends would never have experienced snow or cold for that matter.

Many of them still had never even been to Mauna Kea!

:shock: It was me!!! It was me!!! Did I win a free trip to Florida? :lol:

Could you send it a little further south? It hasn't made it here yet.

OK, how is this for a story? I had a spider IN MY PANTS yesterday :shock: I thought I felt a tickle, and ignored it. I had a pair of loose yoga pants on yesterday morning(the same ones I'd slept in commando-style the night before). I felt the tickle and ignored it, until I could not. TMI, but it was crawlin up my um, butt cleavage. Ugh. And I can only think he got there when I went to pee. He couldn't have survived for long! Anyhow, so he was of the type with those twiggy looking legs--I don't know my species. And I thank my guardian angel I WAS NOT BIT!!!!
