Ellie's photos will be here in two days. I just bought frames for them and hung them up on the wall, they look silly without pictures on them haha. I'm really happy with how they turned out, at first I went to Target and was unhappy, then I went to JC Penny and they did a great job. I'm going to take my drivers test by September 15th and I am so nervous! My grandma is trying to get me to drive her Lexus but I'm afraid I'll crash. I have never been behind the wheel of a car before, but I drove a golf cart into a river when I was 10, been scared to death ever since...but extremely excited to start. Oh and if anyone was wondering about my vet post, my mom apologized to me this morning and told me I was doing a great job so everything is good. I gave her some money and she has diapers now so it's all good :) My uncle is coming down tomorrow and he said he wants to take me birthday shopping since he probably won't see me for a while. I have a feeling I'll end up spending it all on Ellie though haha.--She's getting big! I think her eyes might be starting to change color, I thought I saw a few specks of brown in them. I'm aslo thinking about getting a pump for when I go to school or take her out. I don't like br___t feeding in public but I'd only use a pump when absolutely necessary. I'm sure I have enough milk to get started right away, I seem to over produce. Anyway, today is cleaning day for me. My room is a mess, since I started sleeping in the nursery I just kind of throw things in there and rush back. So how's everyone else's life going?? How are all your little bundles and/or pregnancies?

Im doing pretty good. Morning sickness is finally subsiding, im just still really tired all the time. Im 14 weeks today. Rylie has been a little terror lately. Im not sure why, i guess shes just reaching that age. I too need to get my license lol. My temps (that i have for the 3rd time) expire in Nov. Racing season is almost over. Only 6 more races and they're all local-ish. Hes 2nd in rookie points and needs to beat Stark (guy in 1st) every time to get a comfortable lead. So needless to say hes very stressed. Its 10,000 to win but its not about that. Its about adding the t_tle to his list of achievements. It will help him move up next year. T

You're lucky your morning sickness is going away! Mine lasted 18 weeks, it was miserable. Rylie is one now isn't she? That's about the age they go crazy haha. My nephew's turning one on September 28th, he's a handful! My sister is starting to discipline him but she can't help but giggle when she's doing it, I can't either haha. He knows when he's doing something wrong and he waits for you to catch him! Then when you say "Don't do that Ayden" he gives the puppy dog eyes and pouty lip. He knows what it does, the little devil haha. What happens for you when racing season is over? Do you get to go home finally? How did you two meet anyways? It seems he's never in the same place twice :P

I could not handle morning sickness for 18 weeks. I have severe sickness when i do have it. Yep, Rylie is 14 months. She gets into everything. Ayden sounds just like her. She knows she doing something shes not supposed to and tried to do it as long as she can before she gets caught. She has the most mischievous grin. When you see it you know shes up to something. We've started discipline as well. That is if we can do it with a straight face. When racing season is over we get to relax! 3 months at home with nothing but the banquet to go to. Of course there is alot of work to be done to get ready for next season. Howd we meet? I love this story lol. We have this place called CTC (career technology center) we're given the option to go to instead of our home highschool our junior and senior year. He went there and was in the same cla__s as my best friend. We didnt have the same home school. It was Super Bowl Sunday 2004 (Feb. 1st) and i always have a big party. My best friend stayed at my house the night before to help me set up. It was like midnight and we were bored. She had a nextel and i was amazed by the beep- beep function and wanted to beep somebody. She was like beep Ryan hes always up. So i did. He was on his way home from racin in Florida and we ended up staying on the phone for over 6 hours until he got home. Then he came straight to my house. I knew from the first time we talked he was the guy i was going to marry. It just took him a little longer lol. Even throughout all we went through and all he put me through. I cant explain it. I just knew if that makes any since. How about you and Harold? Whats ya'lls story?

newbaby2009 - August 20

My due date was Feb. 18 by LMP. Ultrasound showed gestational age was a week younger n my due date was Feb.18. So they're going with the 18th. Which is better b/c we'll be in Florida the first week and a half of Febuary. (We live in Ohio). Rylie was 2 weeks early though so i dont know whats going to happen.

Hmmm Amanda17, you have started 7 threads on this page alone...How many hours a day do you spend on here?? I understand when someone has a question or concern, but you seem to post just any random thing that comes to mind...Just thinking you might be able to use your "free" time more wisely...

 

angelmonkey - August 20

newbaby2009 - August 20

We're not going on a holiday, lol. Thats the kick off week of racing season. Which he has to go to or he'll be so far behind in points it would be pointless to continue.

 

angelmonkey - August 20

amanda17 - August 20

Aw I'm glad you guys are having a nice time with my post. I figure we all needed a simple "how's life?" chat. Unfortunately I suddenly started feeling sick today... Not like contagious I just had a rough night and am feeling weak. I'm just up to feed her then pa__s out once again. I'm glad you're all doing well.

 

newbaby2009 - August 20

Hope you feel better soon!

 

angelmonkey - August 21

amanda17 - August 21

Thanks girls. I took a nap and some motrin, I feel better. Anyway newbaby, the story of how I met Harold is actually pretty typical. We went to school together. He was a sophmore and I was a freshman. I had just turned 14. The first time he saw me was at lunch, and I was just talking to a group of friends and didn't notice him... noticing me. Haha. He was with his friend Isaac and asked him who I was, but he didn't know... Harold was too shy to approach me with no excuse, so he went around asking people about me. Asking all the wrong people of course, because he thought I was in his grade. I was actually friends with several of his friends... I had a crush on one of them at the time haha. So after weeks of trying to figure out who I was, he finally asked our mutual friend Emily. Emily and I always hung out at the same spot after school, so he made a note to stop by to meet me. He was trying to be as casual as he could. I spotted him before he approached me, I had a feeling he was staring at me but he turned his head every time I looked over. He eventually got up the courage to walk over to me, pretending like he had something to say to Emily. He actually didn't say a word to me, or even look at me, he was too shy haha. So I asked him some simple questions like "what's your name?" and "do you have the time?" but no real conversation was made. My grandma came to pick me up, and when I got in the car I was like "you see that guy right there? Don't stare!! Well, he's gonna be my boyfriend soon. Just watch." The next day after school, I had no one to hang out with so I just sat in the sun and played games on my phone (Frogger woo!) He walked up to me and asked me to join him in the shade, so I did. But he had a girl following him around, an old friend of mine who I hadn't seen in years, so she was very talkitive and Harold kept asking her "Don't you have somewhere to GO??" But she didn't get the hint haha. Then the next day he saw me during school, but I was with a group of my friends so he just waved and kept walking. I kept trying to think of a way to get him to talk to me (alone) without making him uncomfortable with his shyness. I asked my grandma to stop picking me up, and asked him to walk me home. He did, but when I tried to coax him inside he got nervous and said he had to go. The next day I was determined. I decided to stay with him after school until he left. I thought I could get him into inviting me over, but it didn't work that way. Apparently he didn't get rides home, he walked. So we ended up staying at school until 7pm talking. And it was like that for several days until he had somewhere to go with Isaac, and had to leave early. So he FINALLY asked me for my number. He said "I'll call you around 8 or 9" and at 8:01 I got a phone call haha. I invited him over, and he said he'd come. Before I hung up the phone he muttered something. So I asked him what he said and he said "Oh nothing, I was just thinking out loud" I left it at that, but later I would find out he said "I love you" :) I'm amazed he wanted to say it so soon too, cuz he's never said it to anyone else before. Anyway so he came over and my sister was being incredibly annoying so I decided to take a walk to get some quiet time with him. But then he thought it was because I was uncomfortable with him coming in my house, so we kept going on walks every time he came over (every day) We were stuck in the walk zone! And he walked to my house every day, 20 miles, and then kept walking to make me comfortable. Finally I was just like "Umm... do you want something to drink or anything?" and his eyes lit up haha. So he FINALLY came inside...and we could actually SIT and talk. And that went on for maybe two weeks before he fiiiiiiinally asked me out haha. And I basically had to do it, we laugh about it now... I tried to make a joke that every time he said something, I'd say "Oh it is SO over" then say "But we never had anything so it can't be over" Which, I don't know how I could make it more obvious that if he asked I'd say yes. It still took him two weeks haha. So yeah, fun fact, ever since the day I asked him his name, we have not gone more than two days without talking to each other. That'll be four years ago on September 17th :)

aww, i love highschool sweethearts stories! Me n Ryan met in highschool but we definately werent "sweethearts" lol. It'll be 5 years since i first talked/met Ryan on Feb. 1st, next year. But we didnt talk or see each other for over a year. At that time we were just "friends w benefits". It was only 2 months after we met and a guy i had been interested in asked me out. So i called it off with Ryan and was with this guy until the start of my senior year. I thought about Ryan eveyday and missed him so much. But tld myself i deserved so much better then how things were with us. So up until graduation i was with a few other guys. I even had marriage plans with the last one and we spent 6 weeks trying for a baby. I was 18 he was 24. (dumb i know and i CANNOT believe i did it. I thank God i did not get pregnant) About a month before graduation the guy i was seeng went to . I jail. (he had old warrants he never told me about) I was crushed and alone. I got a job at an auto parts factory. Im kinda shy when i first meet people and i knew no one so i sat on a bench in the bathroom on breaks. A couple weeks in i was bored and going through my phone and seen Ryans name. I thought no way its the same number after 13 months. So i texted asking if this was still Ryans cell. He answered yes who is this. I said just an old friend and was going to leave it at that. He called but i was to nervous to answer it.. After going back to work i noticed there was a voicemail. And my voicemail said :hey its missy, leave a messae. So i knew he knew, I couldnt check it til i got off and it killed me for 2 ours. I listened to it on the way home and he was like "hey i called to see whos number this is. Please call me back when you get this" Just hearing his voice again brought tears to my eyes. I called him back and we talkd for a while. The rest is history. Ive been through hell and back with him. Hes the person who has hurt me more then anyone else. He has broken my heart over and over again. He done things i never imagined a person could do to someone else. But over the last year he has been perfect. I think my issue is believeing that he truly does love me and want to be with me now. How can you possibly love someone who did so much to? How can you want to be with someone you spent years trying to push away? (or so it seemed)
