Ok sorry my answer was super short but I had just read it and had to say congrats but dh was standing here bumping me lightly saying get up i want to find a mario kart..Over and over and over. After I got up i said you could have stopped and me wrote more in less time than it took just to type that.............YIPPEEEEEEE I'm super exctied for you, you have to share your fertility seceret with me. Sometimes I wonder if I am confused on how to figure when I'm fertile and we are having sex on all the wrong days LOL I wont wish twins on you haha That is something that our family always does w/ first time moms. They have this whole oo it skips a generation so someone is going to have twins in your generations and blah blah blah didnt have them so its got to be you. Just away to stress first time moms out more haha. But I told dh that is the only way your getting 3 is w/ a set of twins b/c we only got time to do this twice!! ↑
OH my gosh..i cant believe it! you all are super fertile...so the rest of you all have to get prego next month so they can be close in age!! irene, i will be prego with you on your next pregnancy...i will then maybe be ready for another! haha ↑
Okay - so I think this gives me a date of Feb 26th...I'll be crossing my legs to make it into March and the new school year...haha! I feel fine, the test was quite faint which bothers me slightly - especially since I felt it really early on - too early I thought but I guess stopping the pill messed my ovulation date up some...But the line was faint - duff test maybe or maybe cause I took it a bit late in the morning...I feel fine - the nausea seems to have stopped - yay! I simply cannot sleep on my tummy already - as usual..and my jeans pinch! :-) I think we're both a bit stunned that it happened so quickly again - and a bit embarassed !! But he's started on me already about not lifting things and to take it easy...Ahh its sweet but I could take major advantage of that if I had the time! haha....It would be nice if someone joined me in this pregnany lark!! Oh and Amy , no more for me after this..there's no space in the car!! ↑
I'll pass on the twins thanks - they do run in the family - my mum is one and there are quite a few on her side...They do say the chances are higher the older you are...but no thanks...too much work! ↑
Congratulations Irene, I am exited somebody is having a baby in this group. To be honest after having 5 kids twins won't do any difference in the amount of work. You are a super mom...I think i am not made to have more than two kids.. That is way I admire you.. I wish a big family but i am to lazy. Anyhow, IRENE Congratulations again. This site is a pain in de ass, I hate the ads that keeps popping in my screen and you close it and they con back again.. asking to protect your computer.. Yesterday i wanted to write something and i couldn't the ads didn't let me and my internet explorer hung. PITA 10 thousand times. Tara yesterday we were paying Mario Kart? this is the WII game right. Oh we had a lot fun. My sister here is being induced tomorrow. SO she is going to the hospital today and the labor should start in the morning. By the end of tomorrow i will have a new nephew.. I went to the outlets and the carter store was on sale and i bough a lot outfits for both of my nephews. Specially the one in Venezuela. I carter outfit can cost about 80 dollars there. Can you imagine that>? Everything is so expensive there. I send all Alex cloth and between my sister and I send him 200$ worth in cloths, My sister in Venezuela was so happy that she said that so far the only thing that she has buy is diapers and wipes. Well Alex is to attached to my mom. He is so sweet he always come to hug her or my and he puts his face in my face . he is so cute. Well i am at work now and my day is going to be long... AMY i saw your invite to the shiskabbob party. I love kabbob. I do the persian type with ground beef that called kubidei kabbob. (sp?) I won't be able to go, We are having a litle party on july 5 for my sister baby at my hosue and all my brother inlaw family are going there to celbrate ... i need friday to put everything in order. But i wish i am free to have the opportunity to meet you in person.. ↑
ZAY,,it would be cool if you could come, and one day we are just going to have to meet somewhere!! irene..i think i remember you saying no more after the last pregnancy!!! when will you tell everyone?? ↑
We just got back from a family reunion up at my uncle's buffalo ranch. it was a blast. It was my grandmother's sisters and brother and all their families. about 50 people. The weather was great and other than the truck breaking down and having to find a rental to pull the trailer and ATV it was fun. We ended up staying another day until they got his truck fixed, but since I can work anywhere, I just fired up my blackberry and worked while I sat under the tree at the campground. oh, and I can't stand my SIL. she's such a b*tch some times. apparently she says really rude things to chris when i'm not around and is totally degrading. like to the point of "well, we all can't marry someone like Jen who will pay all the bills." which is total bs and I can't imagine why she said that. and then my dad gave walker a signed baseball from when he was a kid (dh is a HUGE baseball fan) and she stomped over to my brother and (within earshot) said "Great. by the time we have kids there will be nothing left" i know there's a culture/language barrier - but do they not have respect in Brazil??!! Ugh...sorry to go off, but seriously. ↑
OMG Jen - that SIL sounds like a nightmare! Was the ranch in Utah? Were you raised there btw? Speaking of in-laws mine are on a plane right now from Scotland! They arrive at 1:15.Did I tell you all we were going to go to Wis. Dells and the lake disapeared in the flooding 2 weeks ago? The dam broke and the whole lake disapeared in 15 minutes. It was all over the news. Anyway we are going to another lake now on Sunday for a few days. I think it will be fun! ↑
Amy - How is your mom's arm? Zay - I hope everything goes well with your sister today! You need to tell us both babies names when he is born. We never got the details on the other one. ↑
GRETTA..thanks for asking...my mom is doing well..she is helping with vacation bible school, which by the way is going great! she is happy b/c she can still get around, and the second dr she went to told her she will be fine in a few months..IRENE..i am totally jealous right now...no af for you, mean while..i am bleeding all over the place...the 2nd day of my period kills me! it is so bad i would rather stay home than be anywhere..it never used to be like that. UHG it is so bad...i would love to not have a pd until feb! (but not ready for that baby that comes along with it) i would love to be a sarrogent (sp?) mother..i think it would be hard to give the baby away, but at the same time it would be nice to help out a family that really wanted a baby! gretta, i hope you have fun while you are away..how long will it be? ↑
Hey ladies I hope all of you are doing great. I was just going to drop by for a second since I've been away. Things are nuts here again. Mom is sick and in the hospital. I took her to the er on sunday and they sent her home then back to the dr today for them to admit her. She has lost 9lbs in a week and can not keep anything down. I have never seen her this sick. They say she has divertickulitius (im spelling that just like it sounds I'm off to do some research). Her white blood count is through the roof it was 18000 sunday and higher today I'm sure although the lab wasnt back when I came home. I am also doing my pt which is going good I guess although I seem to be sore from it. Dh is wore out too trying to get up at 830am after working til 3am and getting in bed from 430 to 5 am. I have court friday with my bestfriend for custody of her daughter so if yall dont mind keep her and my mom in your prayers. Amy I hope your mom is doing great, Hope you are feeling better tooo Gretta. I will catch up on yalls posts soon I hope. Take care yall! ↑
Wow Jenn...a buffalo ranch??!! That sounded like fun...In-laws can be such hard work! Thanks for all the good wishes, we'll not be telling anyone until after 12 weeks - maybe we'll just wait for someone to notice - haha! With Aiden there were a lot who weren't aware until almost the day he was born.....I'm not going to the drs until I'm about 9/10 weeks...all they do is the blood test and refer me to my m/wife who won't see me until just before 12 weeks for paperwork before I get a scan at 12 wks... DEFINATELY the last one Amy - I promise! I know I said that after Aiden but that was partly because I thought DH had had enough....But 5 is filling our house up - Matthew will need to move out at 16 for definate! haha! ↑
Tara - I hope your mum is doing better...Did you find out anymore about what is wrong? Is it connected to the problems she had earlier this year? Gretta - hope you have a nice break away! Which in-laws do you have coming? ↑
Oh and Aiden has discovered the teletubbies! I think he's going to be like Matthew and be an early riser - he's been waking at 6am for ages now...I'm struggling to get going that early - haha! - so Duggie flicked the tv on the other morning ...Aiden was mesmerised for the entire length of the programme....Its a boy thing to watch tv - in our house anyway...Rianna has only this year managed to watch a full length film - 20 mins is about all she can afford to give the box! ↑
And he got really mad at me yesterday - he's started standing up in his highchair and giving me the heebie-jeebies...so I dug out the reigns/harness and tied him in! He was livid!! lol ↑
The ranch is a lot of fun. I spent my "ugly duckling" summer there right before I started high school - - and met a boy... It's actually my great uncle who owns it and it's the same size as San Francisco Bay area. We usually go up in the fall when they round up and wean all the babies. The buff are untouched otherwise. They had one orphan who was so stinkin cute, he was up by the house and you could pet him. ↑
Walker had his 15 mo appointment...and had to get more shots. I thought we were done until 18...but i guess he doesn't have to go back until 2 years?? He's 25 pounds, 30 inches and 19 inch head. Put on one of everything...and is right where he's supposed to be developmentally. So a good appointment. Doc also told us we could turn his carseat around. I did it on the way home and you would have thought I had a gorilla in the car with me with all the noise he made on the way home - he was SO excited. Date night again tonight, and according to this spendy ovulation calendar tonight is supposed to be THE night...we'll see. We were actually thinking about going to an amusement park for the evening. It's expensive and they close at 10, so it would be $80 for only a couple hours...we may just do another dinner/movie and ease in to this whole "dating" thing. Oh, but we did bd once up at the ranch...so we're trying... Gretta, I can't believe your vacation disappeared...that's trippy!! Have fun, are they here yet? Tara, hope your mom gets better soon! ↑
hi all...gretta must be busy..she has been gone a while! irene..that is funny..i have snapped jt in all the time, and now just stopped b/c he sits there and doesnt need it...neither of my children are climbers..hopefully it will stay that way...well one more day of vbs..and then clean up..that is the worst part. it is going well, and the kids are LOVING it! dd goes to a wildlife camp next week mon-thurs...she will have a blast. i am working alot...along with being at vbs all day, i then leave there and go to work until 9pm...it is a little tough, but i need all the hours i can get! so i will talk to you all later..more homework for vbs tomorrow! night ↑
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Irene, congrats!!!! I am so excited for you. It will be a Feb. baby right? DH and I have to get busy. :) Just kidding. My house is finally on the market. It was a busy week. I hope we sell soon. I saw a house that I loved yesterday but have to sell this one first. ↑
Oh well...I started bleeding lightly yesterday evening, and its continued into today ....I guess if I had to m/c , its better at this early stage :- ( ...DH is trying to look at it as being a late period, which is okay except we did the test again on Wednesday and it was still positive..but maybe thats why it was so faint at the weekend...It wasn't to be..I'm okay about it...Previous ones were at 10 and 12 weeks and I don't deny they WERE hard...By that point you are emotionally attached....but maybe part of me was waiting it out this time...especially since both Jake and Aiden were conceived after a m/c..?? Maybe it would be nice to be one of these people who is not quite so regular and doesn't feel it from day dot and wouldn't have been any the wiser, and would just assume there period was 8/9 days late.....sigh...I actually feel guilty for not feeling that upset about it...I'm sad...but ...I'm like 'oh well'....thats terrible isn't it? ↑
oh irene, i am so sorry...i guess like you said, it wasnt meant to be...i will say prayers and am sending hugs and kisses! maybe next month, and you can all be prego together!!!:) ↑
