MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[Lazydaisys]

Great news Athena! I would be the same. Would love to plan a surprise bfp announcement but in reality I'd just hand him the test! Xxx

 

[athena87]

I went a little test crazy. But I think it's starting to sink in.

 

[burgbrandy]

Congrats Athena!

 

[Kalush]

Congrats Athena!! Such great news. It's so much more visible today!!

 

[RaeChay]

Congrats Athena! Sticky dust to you

Praying for you and your family Mel! So excited for you. You will be holding your LO before you know it!

 

[athena87]

Thank you ladies. I just took another cheapie yep the line is still there. Lol I'm so excited. I think dh is weary because it's still early and I haven't missed my period yet but I've never had a bfp like that so I'm excited

@athena87 I see it! Congratulations! I thought that temp spike looked promising. Will you continue to test for progression? I agree with melann13. It could take time to get super dark. The Wal-Mart tests seem to take longer as well. Let me know when to make it official.

@ProfWife I'm sorry he didn't suggest something else, but I'm sure it won't be a problem if he says it won't be. I hope this clears it up for you both.

@omgbaby What tattoos do you have? We really liked Dexter a lot. Will you finish it? I'm sending lots of luck for this weekend!

@melann13 I'm sending luck and positive thoughts your way.

 

[athena87]

Hopeful/ omgbaby we just finished dexter and we loved it. I'm about to start the books.

I think once I pass af due date I'll make it official

 

[athena87]

It already looks darker

 

[pathos]

yay for the progression! haven't you ovulated from both sides this cycle? hihi.

 

[athena87]

Pathos yes I did. Twins would be crazy lol

 

[Kalush]

Athena - Definitely darker!

 

[Hopeful2014]

@athena87 That's definitely darker!



I read an interesting article earlier about the 5 most regretted jobs. Secondary School Teacher was the third most regretted job with 43%. I think we could all recognize the reasons. The article said paperwork, parent interventions, reluctance of students to do the work, and politics in the school system. I thought I would share an interesting and true quote from the article.

“Instead of simply teaching children, teachers must simultaneously parent and counsel all while navigating the stressful terrain often found in the bureaucracy of school districts. It takes a remarkable human being to become a teacher but it takes a golden human being to stay one.”

I know there are some here who qualify for that statement. Here is the article if you're interested in reading about the other jobs.

Some days make the moments of regret worth it, though.

I've had two days like that this week. I had almost an entire class celebrate that I gave them some silent independent reading time yesterday. Then today I had one of my non-readers actually get upset that I didn't have time for the independent reading today because he is "really into the book."

Oh...to have kids actually enjoying their reading for once. :-D

That is rewarding! I loved giving independent reading time and it did seem like the kids liked it too. I think if they all took the time to get into a book that it could help with a lot of things such as patience, higher order thinking, reasoning skills, etc. Good work!

 

[athena87]

I took this this morning it makes it feel so much more real.
