Jennifer, even if you do end up getting pregnant (which I hope you do) after you're paying for a house, everything will fall into place.

Babies don't have to be that expensive. Sure, they can be spendy, but I think a lot of the bouncer/swing/chair/etc stuff is pretty unnecessary. Clothes, diapers, boobs - you're good to go.

I hope it happens for you guys! And very cool that its all energy star certified. Nice!

Thanks! I'm really surprised that DH (the money man and he is kind of tight....my mom told he was so tight he sqeeks....so he went "sqeek" LOL)...hasn't suggested that we stop trying for now.

It's the daycare that would be the hard part. We might be able to get away without for a bit since I work first (and I LOVE my job and wouldn't give it up...plus I'm the bigger earner at this time) and DH is on third. Clothes would be easy...DH is an only child and I only have one younger sister so it would be the first baby for both our moms and my sister is dying to be an auntie.

Yeah I'm excited about the energy star. I not a hardcore environmentalist but we do try our best. My parents were super jealous at how warm the basement was from all the extra insulation. And up here in Wisconsin we have some awfully cold weather (I think last Jan we had maybe 3 days where we weren't below zero).

**daylilies** · 11-30-2009, 06:59 PM

I am so bored you guys! DH is still not home from work (he called me earlier to warn me he might be home late, so no worries) and I just have nothing to do! Blahhh.

**Janeen** · 11-30-2009, 07:02 PM

Big E told me she got a thirty day ban and will be back. If anyone wants to find her on Facebook or Myspace PM me for her first and last name. There were two specific people she mentioned for me to give her stuff to but darnit, I don't remember who it was! LOL

**daylilies** · 11-30-2009, 07:15 PM

Good to hear that she'll be back.
Someone across the street sounds like they're banging on something with a hammer outside....at 9:15...
He's constantly doing yard work and stuff late at night. I don't understand it.

**Janeen** · 11-30-2009, 07:16 PM

Maybe he's a vampire!

**daylilies** · 11-30-2009, 07:17 PM

Eww haha.
Maybe a sexy vampire, at least. LOL j/k, I'm not into that whole Twilight thing!

**Janeen** · 11-30-2009, 07:22 PM

I wanted to be a vampire even before I heard about Twilight lol

**daylilies** · 11-30-2009, 07:34 PM

LOL!
Ahh, DH is finally home!

I really like Twilight but that is vampire light. The really hot vampires are on True Blood. ;)

**Janeen** · 11-30-2009, 08:30 PM

I've never watched True Blood. My sister is addicted to it though and has read all of the Sookie Stackhouse books.

**Janeen** · 11-30-2009, 09:05 PM

I confess that I've been pretty irritable with Jimi last night and tonight and I hate it. It's a very rare thing and it eats me up when it happens.

Yeah, see, this is my problem. If I were 10 years younger, I would definitely study philosophy (or some other interesting subject) purely out of my love of learning. I just can't justify spending the time or money doing that at this point in my life.

I dunno, maybe when I'm 50? My step-MIL is 50 now and working towards her BA in psychology. I think she's super awesome.

Me too. I graduate in May with a degree in Speech Pathology/Communication disorders, I'll be 29. . . this was a total career change for me. LMK if you have questions.

I have no idea how she came up with that phrase but every time she says it I think, "That's what Father Smelsher did to me too!" He was the super grumpy and intolerant priest at the church I grew up in.

I've heard people say you scared the Buh-Jesus out of me. . .I bet that's where she got it from.

**The10Eels** · 11-30-2009, 09:36 PM

I confess my parents bought me a new phone as my christmas present since my old one ended up in the tub with Audrianna this morning. I got the Nokia Twist and it is fricken awesome...

I confess I've been wondering if maybe I wouldn't have been better off if B and I never got married, but then I see my sweet girls, and remember had we not gotten married, I wouldn't have them... and no matter what he does to me - THEY will always love me

I love it....it's practically porn! LOL Am on book seven right now and the books are great! Not quite so much porn. But fun stories and interesting characters.

I'm so sorry that you are going through this.

But you are right, your girls are dolls. I really love the picture of the sleeping baby....nothing more precious than a sleeping baby.

I cut my teeth on the vampires in the Buffy-verse, and when I heard that Twilight vamps sparkle in sunlight I just about choked. How stupid.

Janeen. Welcome to pregnancy.

bwahahaha.. I love the Twilight Saga, but that was one thing that made me go

Me too. I mean, really? Sparkle? How about, when the sunlight hits them, they turn from otherwordly beautiful to hideously terrifying?

**Cosmosmom** · 12-01-2009, 02:41 PM

Me too. But she had to think of some way for the Cullen teens to be up during the day and at school.

This is one of the reasons DH makes fun of Twilight...he can't stand how much of the vampire canon (or is it cannon) was broken.

He would like True Blood better but can't actually stomach a lot of gore and blood so I watch that when he is sleeping. LOL

**3andMe** · 12-01-2009, 05:33 PM

Am I the only female in the world that hasn't read this series? I have had no interest.

I haven't read it, and I doubt I will.

**daylilies** · 12-01-2009, 05:45 PM

I haven't read the series, but I thought about asking my SIL if I can borrow Twilight (the book), just to see what the fuss is about.
