Hi ladies!! How are you all? Whew, lots to catch up on since I've been off on vacation.....
First, Dreamer, I am so sorry that you, your sister, and family are having to go through such a tough time. I hope things are getting better for you all now. I know how you feel about letting it out on here...it was the same when we were going through my brother being in rehab for drugs as I didn't want people around here knowing about it.....it really is a good outlet to get some support and
without everyone you know personally all in your family's business.
Tobaira and Fizzio...good to hear from you. Sounds like the girls are doing great Tobaira; and so glad you and Amber are doing well and that your PND is improving for you Fizzio.
Claire, good to hear you and Darcy are doing well too!!
Trixie, your new avatar of Conor is sooo cute! And good luck with the TTC/NTNP. I kinda wish we were already NTNP, but as I got the Mirena IUD put in, it's a "no-go" for a while. I originally wanted to wait till Jan 2014 to start TTC again, but now I'm thinking when I go for my annual OB appt in Feb, I may have it taken out and just do NTNP for a while. I hate that I got it put in really (I like the Mirena ok, but I still haven't had a period, even when I stopped BF and I just feel like it's probably not the safest thing having a foreign object in my body). I think my post-pregnancy hormones got the best of me and I "jumped the gun" so to speak, and got it without really thinking it through. I really would have it taken out now, but keep thinking about all the money I spent on it and feel like it would be a waste to have only had it 4 months when it's supposed to last 5 years. Oh well, I'm still fairly young, 28, so have plenty of time to have another baby, but have always wanted my kids close in age. I have always thought I'd only want 2; but since having Jack, I would be open to a 3rd. Just when I think about only being able to go through pregnancy only 1 more time really makes me sad....call me crazy, but I LOVED being pregnant!! I miss it so much. Especially feeling him kick and move around. Maybe that's why I think I'm ready to do it again....
Stranje...it def sounds like Giada has cut her first tooth!! Sounds exactly like how Jack cut his first. No warning, just felt a sharp bit in his mouth when he bit down on my finger...It was a few days before I actually saw it. Then his 2nd one cut through the very next day! He really hasn't had too hard of a time with it so far. Hopefully, it won't be too bad for her...or you. I did have to give him some Ibuprofen a few times just to help him sleep, and it did seem to work.
So we just got home from the beach on Monday. We had a great time. Jack did really well with everything. Except for he HATED the ocean waves. He would cry every time I'd put him in the water and let the waves hit his legs. I think it was the loud noises the waves made. (he hates loud noises...sometimes if someone sneezes or coughs loudly, it makes him cry!). But he loved the pool and playing in the sand under the shade. I'll post a few pics in the next post.
I know none of you live in the southest US, but we are preparing for Hurricane Isaac. We actually left the beach just in time as everyone was starting to board up buildings and prepare for Isaac to make landfall. I live in central Mississippi, so we won't get the actual hurricane, but we will likely get lots of storms and heavy winds; still enough to do lots of damage. (when Katrina hit, we were without power for nearly 2 weeks). So hopefully things won't get that bad this time. I'll try to keep y'all updated on things.
Hope everyone is well.
Hope she is ok. Hope all you other ladies are ok too. Haven't heard from baby777 for a while and some of the other new moms. I guess everyone is overwhelmed as we should be right now!
