LoveSanrio: Your babies are adorable! We should do some professional pics soon. My mom used to take us to get them done, so fun

. They really do shoot up don't they?! You blink your eyes and these babies aren't so much so anymore

.

Thanks chick! I think they are adorable too!

That is the exact reason I took them to get some pics done...they are growing so fast! I have 3 in school now, it's crazy! Tonight the girls and I had a Twilight movie night...that is until my 2 year old started puking all over the floor. It has been quite am evening. I am finally getting to relax, and after cleaning up tons of puke all night, I am just ready to chill!!

I was ready to get me some mommy time in too but my kids have been wearing...me...out!

Omg lol. I keep falling asleep while waiting for the big one to conk out

.

Ahhh yes, the evening puke clean-up. Now that's how you appreciate some mama time

lol.

Hey everyone, I need to rant/ask advice so I can stop stressing....so for the past year or so, my cycles have been like clockwork, every 26 days, with the odd 27 day cylcle thrown in once or twice. Last cyle was 32 days for me, which had me convinced I was pregnant, until AF showed up. Then this cycle was 24 days, and when AF did come it was pretty short and light. Only 3 days, 2 very light and one kinda medium. I took a test the morning AF arrived, 13dpo and BFN. Still spotting a bit, but nothing like usual. Anyone know if it's normal to have a shorter cycle following an unusually long one? Could the prenatal vitamins I've been taking since we started ttc have anything to do with the abnormal cycles? I've also been a bit more stressed than normal with life and stuff now, so I know that could have something to do with it.....gah.....sorry for the rant, I guess I just hope someone will tell me "yes.....it's normal, stop stressing" lol. Thanks!
oh, and where are those cookies? definitely think I need a few :P

Yeah, it's normal to have funky cycles sometimes amanda, stop stressing lol

. I don't know specifically whether a shorter cycle might follow a longer one though. Also, depending on what your prenatals have in them it might be possible for them to affect your cycle but I don't have any info on any specifics there either. And if you're having some serious stress going on O might get delayed and cause a later AF so...I guess a big fat "maybe" on all possibilities here?! How's that for an ambiguous answer

hi I have been ttc since oct my first cycle 28 days and since then all have been 26 days short cycles. I'm sure your fine. I have crazy symptoms every week before af Is due. Annoying as some symptoms make you think af won't be here this month. Good luck to you x

OMG MAN....I can't even begin to tell you how much puke and poop I have cleaned up since yesterday. I thought it might have been just an upset stomach...turned out to be the stomach flu!!! UGH!!! My poor 2 year old had a rough night to say the least. She is feeling a bit better today, but let's just say that today still consisted of LOTS of diaper changes.

We all have plenty of craziness to go around, and are always open to some more! We are never fully stocked! LOL

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I just have my FX at this point that none of my other kids catch the stomach flu...or me. Anyone that has multiple kids knows that the stomach flu spreads through them like wildfire!! I'M SCARED!! LOL!!!

LoveSanrio · Feb 19th, 2013, 06:00 AM

WELL....London had the stomach flu....then my husband started with it last night, then my 7 year old woke up this morning and puked all over her floor. Needless to say I am going to have one loooooong week.

I have to keep all my kids home now, because chances are we will ALL be getting it. SIGH.

Last winter all of my kids had the stomach flu....at the same time. They were all puking every 10 minutes, all at the same time. I ended up taking them all to the hospital, and my 5 year old was admitted into the pediatric unit for dehydration. She had to stay for 3 days....it was awful. So of course I am insanely worried this time.

Rockinmomtobe · Feb 19th, 2013, 09:50 AM

LoveSanrio- sorry to hear about your stomach flu issues...gross! lol

I thought Id share a little of my week so far with you guys....OH and I took a three day weekend and went to a resort for Valentines Day last weekend and I dont know if Im just still exhausted from our mini-vaca or what, but Im tired. Ive been away for 4 hours now and I want a nap. Im crabby, poor OH might kill me after having such a lovely weekend and me turning into the Hulk. Im exercising and eating right and not losing weight and it makes me want to punch someone.

Thats all for now. Any encouragement is welcome....or if youd like to bitch with me, thats also good
