OH Laura I hope that Santa brings great news for little S on the 23rd! With your thyroid being autoimmune what does that mean for ttc? Im sorry I dont know too much about that. I really hope that isnt the case if thats what you want hun. Have you pulled any cards for you lately to see what they say for you?

 

[mommylov]

Angel, I just realised that I responded to you and asked about your DH right after you just said that he was out of town... sigh Im so sorry hun. As for ttc, I think if you are feeling it in your heart you should go for it.

 

[lilesMom]

Thanks hon xxx
He is doing much better
But I'm not sure where,we go from Herr
Epilepsy wise

Along with,my liver, I think I'd be mad to ttc
More,prone to mc and a host of problems
I'm gonna just be extremely grateful for s instead :-D

 

[lilesMom]

Sorry phone stick again
My thyroid treatment,stays the same
But it makes it harder yo keep stable
Stsble is what u need fir ttc

 

[mommylov]

oh I see So then Im going to pray for more stable!!! Not that I didnt want you to be more stable before just for you but I want it for ttc should you decide to go that route too! xoxoxo

 

[Storked]

Laura, I became less active on here due to trouble with the site. Feel your pain with the phone giving you trouble
I totally missed that your thyroid was autoimmune! Glad that you have answers to that finally but sorry for that diagnosis. Did I ever tell you about my own autoimmune troubles? I probably never did as it was years and years ago but a patch of my skin on my back had started to thicken. Doctors had never seen anything like it and sent me to a dermatologist who diagnosed me with localized schleroderma. I haven't had patches in a few years though.
I am glad that Simon is doing better and eating well. I just love your pictures of him. He is so beautiful. I am also hoping that you guys get good news!

Amy, I agree with your parents. Be patient and wait please I know that it is a difficult thing to ask of you though!
Oh her birthday was filled with caramel apple cheesecake and tacos so it was a good day for our little family

Jess, haha we are similar then except that I'm short! But yes, when small I still weigh more than people think.

Angel...so, ya gonna do the no pants dance?! Please remember that we are here for you
I hope that size 6 does the trick for Pierce!
Yep those toddler tantrums are pretty fun. Lorelei is grunting at me in annoyance right now because I'm not feeding her her snack fast enough.

My child is currently terrorizing me. She is screaming Simlish in my ear that I am pretty sure could be translated to "MOAR SNAPEAS!"
Started reading her The Legend of Holly Claus today. When we come to a picture I show it to her and she exclaims either "daddy!" Or "kitty!"

 

[aaronswoman79]

Ooh Angel. Thinking about ttc again? So excited for you. What does your dh think? I could totally see you with another little boy but a baby girl would be sweet too!!

 

[aaronswoman79]

Temper tantrums u say?? Sophia has quite the temper on her. When she gets mad enough she grunts loud and turns red as a tomato!! And then she starts yelling in gibberish. Lol. And she started throwing her body back when she was still an infant. We have had quite a few close calls and head bumps (we have hard wood floors). A new scary thing she is doing is climbing on the couch and attempting to run or jump right off!! She also does it on the bed. She stands up and the next thing you know she is trying to run right off. The poor thing has no idea how badly she can hurt herself. But the scariest thing she is doing is every time we open a door or the refrigerator door she purposely puts her fingers between the door and the frame (the little space where the door hinges hold the door to the frame.) Of course if we close the door it will probably cut her fingers off or at least hurt Sophie very badly. And she does this specifically to get a reaction. And of course she gets one. Because there have been times that my dh or daughters have almost closed the door on Sophie's fingers so I either scream or have to jump up and dive to save her!! We have tried many different approaches to try and get her to stop and she still does this. She is quite mischievous. She gets into things she shouldn't and then runs away very fast as to not get caught. I still have to be very careful because EVERYTHING goes to the mouth. So I have my days busy with her alone, not to mention my other girls.

Laura, thx for all of advice about the reflux meds. I am praying Simon's appointment goes well with the Neurologist in December. So Simon has a temper at times? I bet he looks so cute!

 

[aaronswoman79]

How cute Lorelei saying daddy or kitty when she sees a picture. Hope she had lots of fun on her bday.

 

[aaronswoman79]

Amy I agree with the ladies and your dh and mother. Nothing comes good of testing way to early. I know how eager u are but if u could hold off just a few days? I know it must be so tough for you hon. How are you feeling today?

 

[mommylov]

Feeling ok. Got a few cramps but I'm just chalking that up to the Meds. So cute about your LO's throwing tantrums. I'm sure you dont think its funny in the moment but at some point I would imagine you just look at them and they are just too yummy to be mad at. Lol

Yes Lorelei climbs onto the couch and likes to get down. She has taken a tumble off a few times but seems to have learned her lesson! I also let her play in the kitchen cupboards and she pinched her finger in the door so now she mostly just opens it and pulls stuff out instead of opening and closing. These kids,
I have a hard time with the tantrums and teething screaming sometimes. My stress level go through the roof and since it is usually me parenting alone I don't always cope well. Usually by bedtime I just close myself off in the bedroom with the cat and try to unwind


Amy, cramps can be a very good sign! stick babies! GROW! BLOOM!

Bethany ~ My DH's dad had schleroderma...I've never known anyone else who has it. Glad yours is only localized and not presenting anywhere else! Do any of your sisters have it as well? It was rare that my DH's dad had it and it showed as late as it did, normally affects young women. I hear you on the tantrums and single parenting...It's rough doing this gig alone!

Lorelie & Sophie sound like daring busy bees! Pierce is very cautious, I'm sure that will all change!

Jess ~ Sophia is a smart girl, she knows how to get a rise out of you! The door cracks scare me too! How has Natalie been at school, I hope she has adjusted better. Oh and as for night time diaper leaks, Pierce gets a cup of milk about an hour before bed. I still don't know if it's the diaper's absorbency or positioning causing the diaper failure! Lucky you Soph is dry, I read that means they are close to being ready for potty training! :toilet:

Laura ~ Have you been yet to the endocrinologist, I can't recall when you go (if you told us). And it's tough to think of ttc knowing as much as you do about your health now...it's still nice to dream about a 2nd baby

Leslie ~ Hi

Amy ~ I totally get not testing and good for you resisting temptation! It really would cause you undue stress, so why bother...just sit back and enjoy this next week! I agree with Bethany-cramps are good---grow babies grow

Afm ~ No TWW for this gal. DH was careful, I think I was a smidge saddened, but relieved as well DH doesn't really want another...I'm on the fence. Getting pregnant in the next 4 months would have me due when DH was away. And next year we've a lot going on, I just wonder if I'd have time for the newborn gig *sigh* Oh and I'll be the big 4-0 next year, maybe I should just close up shop *double sigh* Now I'm just rambling...it's tough facing this point of life, the one where you make decisions because of age! Does it count that I don't feel 39? Ha!
