how sad....lol. I saw a new JULY 2008 mommies thread in the infant care board...I wanted to cry...lol. Kallie's birthday is on Saturday and her party is on sunday!!! Sooo sureal! She is such a wild little woman! SHe is deffinately a TODDLER. She scares me half to death with all the climbing she does. She can climb all the way up the stairs and she finally grasps the idea of going down them safely. Thank God for baby gates though! She also eats EVERYTHING...she doesn't turn down any food at all!! Hey Gurinsa...I don't have a seprate piczo or anything but I have a myspace. I am going to go and check out your piczo right now!! ↑

Hey Jodie I was thinking about starting to watch kids at home. How do you get started doing that? ↑
Name: jodie | Date: Jul 17th, 2008 1:43 PM
Hey Tina! Luckily I have had friends who wanted to take their kids out of daycare so that's how I got started...lol. But I know you can look on craigslist and other places to see if there are people who need help. Just be really careful because there are people out there who are willing to screw you. My advice is to put everything on paper like when you get paid, how much, and keep track of pick up and drop off times. Right now I am watching my friends son who is 6 weeks younger than Kallie and it's going really well. He is on our schedule now and the extra money is great!! Do you have friends kids your going to watch or are you just looking to find people? ↑

I thought it would be something I could do. We pay $400 a month for a sitter and if I could watch acouple kids at home it may make since to quit my job. Most of my friends with kids dont leave that close. but maybe i should join a mommies group and get to know some people in my area. I'm sure with the cost of day care there has to be some good people out there that need a sitter. Do you enjoy it? ↑

Hello ladies! How is everyone? Sorry it took me so long to get back to you tina! Anyways, I love being able to babysit so I can stay home with my kiddos! I have the babies (I guess not so baby anymore) on the same schedule so they eat and nap at the same time. It's easy to take everyone everywhere because I have the double stroller for the little one's and Nick walks everywhere. Have you had any luck finding anyone yet? ↑

Hello everyone!! How's our little one year olds!!! Ashton is sooo busy...but soooo cute!! He loves cars, trucks etc. Really anything for boys!! He is also very brave and climbs everything!! Lots of fun!! He still loves to sleep! He has 2 naps (1-2 hours) and sleeps from 7pm to 7am everynight. Pretty good considering the little buggar used to wake up every 3 hours until 10 months!!
Well....I'm preggers again!! Just found out last thurs!! Kinda surprised us...although we weren't preventing. I was just temping to catch my o date to avoid...and the one time we bd...wouldn't you know/?? My temps stayed up and BFP at 12dpo!!! My dh was soo shocked....I'm like...welll....at least we know you have super sperm!!! It was so cute how he/me found out. I waited until he came home from out of town and I was holding my pee...waiting and waiting for him to unpack...then couldn't hold it enough...so I POAS...and left it and the box in the bR. Dh was playing with ds in the hall and ds went into the br and found the box and brought it out to his daddy....dh looked at me and said NO!! I'm like...don't know yet...but go and check the stick...so he did and the rest was history. His first words were ya...your pregnant....then....NO you can't be....how?....it's too soon...LOL!!! Mixed emotions at first...but we are happy...but I don't like keeping secrets!! That part sucks!!!! Anyways...how are you ladies????? ↑
Name: jodie | Date: Aug 13th, 2008 11:13 AM
Congrats L1NDZ!! Your going to have soo much fun with them sooo close together!! Ashton sounds just as busy as Kallie! She climbs on EVERYTHING and she gives me heart attacks daily! She is currently crabby and getting her 1 yr molars. Well I gotta go! Let's keep up the chatting!! ↑
Name: jeni23 | Date: Aug 13th, 2008 9:17 PM
Congrats Lindz!!Im 16 weeks 1 day today,due Jaunary 27th,keep us posted!!Yes I agree on the busy bodys,Tristin has got some kinda temper latly since he started cutting more teeth,he stands in the middle of the room and screams then runs over to me and head butts my leg!!As far as the climbing,I hope they grow outta that it makes me a nervous wreck cus I turn and turn back hes on the couch then falling off,like magic!!Anyone else getting ready for another baby or planning on having another soon? ↑
Name: L1NDZ | Date: Aug 15th, 2008 11:40 AM
Thanks for the congrats!!! I know it'll be busy...but means I only have to work until April!! WAHOOO!! Don't get me wrong...I LOVE my job...but I've been spoiled with having a year off!! Anyways...this will probably be our last baby. We're not doing anything drastic afterwards...until we know for sure! But I am trying to prepare myself that this will be the last. As I was mentioning on another board...I have this pit of the stomach feeling that it is two in there!!l I sure Hope tha tI am wrong! Two would be a drastic life change tha tis for sure!! I don't think that I could go back to work after the year is up...as daycare for 3 would be sooo expensive and not to mention hard to find with my shift work! I have also been getting this anxiety/heart palpatations every so often. My Dr. thinks it may be my thyroid (which would explain the difficulty in losing weight). But could also be my brain and this baby. I did have some post traumatic stress after the delivery of Ashton (I don't know if you remember my rough delivery). So could be that coming back subconsciously? Anywasy...I'm going to keep an eye on it! Sorry to be short and sweet...ds is up from his nap! Chat later! ↑

Hi, ladies! I don't know why but I all of sudden wanted to come and check to see if any of you were still posting on here. It's been eons since I've been on here! I don't know if you remember but it's Mimi and I have 1 yr old Sienna. So many changes but so fun at the same time. I get the itchin' every now and then for the second but not ready. I think we're going to wait a couple more years before we start again. But, big congratulations to Jeni & Lindsey! I am really happy for you two! And here is Sienna's new pics: rashmipappu (dot) com/?p=231 ↑

Mimi its great to hear from you again! She is such a doll! I've been getting the itch again too. But tring to hold off till next year. ↑
Name: jodie | Date: Sep 6th, 2008 1:25 AM
Hey Mimi! I will have to go to that site and check out Sienna! I have the itch all the time but I keep telling myself I can only handle 2...lol. We are taking the kids to Disneyland in May so I figure after that I will decide if we are gonna go for it or not. Kallie is waaaay busier than Nick ever was so she keeps me on my toes! She climbed into her highchair all by her self the other day! I just about had a heart attack! I am getting sooo excited for Christmas...lol! It will be such a fun age this year!! ↑

Hi girls - I haven't been around here in a while, thought I would stop by and say hello....mostly because I am still awake and can't sleep! I see we have more babise on the way - wow! I am still on the fence about another one, mostly due to a cost/time issue. But really, if anyone reads this in the next 14 hours, say a little prayer for me. I am going to see the OB tomorrow, I have had abnormal bleeding for over 3 weeks now and have pain in my right side - feels like my ovary or something. Of course the worst case scenarios are running wild in my head - ectopic pregnancy, cancer, etc. I am finally going in to be seen tomorrow, and I am terrified out of my mind. ↑
Name: TinaSos | Date: Sep 29th, 2008 5:51 PM
MNMOM keep us posted. I'm saying a prayer for you now that everything is ok! ↑
Name: MNMOM | Date: Oct 1st, 2008 11:14 AM
hey TinaSos-Thanks so much. I am going to be fine, I have a serious imbalance of hormones that we are now working to get straightened out, that has been the cause of all my problems. thankfully nothing serious like cancer, etc. ↑
Name: TinaSos | Date: Oct 2nd, 2008 5:27 PM
MNMOM I'm so happy to hear that its nothing serious. ↑
Name: jodie | Date: Oct 3rd, 2008 2:58 PM
Hey MNMOM glad your okay!!!! A friend of mine just went to the ER a couple of days ago because she was having abnormal bleeding and she passed like 60 blood clots the size of fists!! They didn't have any answers for her though they just said she was anemic and take iron pills! Weird! If you don't mind my asking, what were all your symptoms? ↑
Name: MNMOM | Date: Oct 3rd, 2008 3:25 PM
Hi Jodie - my symptoms were excessive bleeding - no clots, but definitely not any kind of "normal" period - by the time I went in, I had been bleeding for more than 3 weeks straight! Also my right ovary was feeling in some pain or discomfort - hard to describe - not an acute pain but a feeling that "something wasn't right". I thought for sure I had a cyst that had ruptured on that ovary or was about to rupture! turns out I have an excess of estrogen and not enough progestrin so my uterus had built up an incredibly incredibly thick lining (because I don't make enough progestrin to ovulate and then have a period to get rid of the lining regularly) and was finally trying to shed some of the lining. Man the whole thing is so frustrating, I feel my body has failed me! Dont get me wrong, I am thankful it is nothing serious, but why can't I just be like everyone else?? ↑
Name: jeni23 | Date: Oct 8th, 2008 10:05 PM
Yes littlekmom we will call him Gabe,im so excited!!We feel him move everyday now(24 weeks)..How are you doing now MNMOM?My mom is having the same problem latly with excessive bleeding and bleeding 3 out of 4 weeks of the month,the doc did a lot of tests and put her on these pills that are supposed to clean out her uteris(its think in spots)if that doesnt work then he was talking about a d&c.So does everyone have the costumes for their little ones? ↑
