[calebsmom06]

Hey everyone Nicole!!! I am soooo excited for you! Thats agreat sign

Beth/Steph-omg, I told hubby if i dont start by the time the baby is 12 weeks then I want to go to the doc to make sure everythings ok, I dont want to even tell him anything about pregnancy because I really doubt it is this soon and I dont think he would be very happy about it if we were again:/
Camerons already 8 weeks!
Tanya how is Emma doing?
Ashley-when is your due date? Your pretty close right?
Mandy-how is everything going with yours?
Oh and beth you sooooo dont need to have to put up with that chic, even if it is a birthday you dont have to! I would only see her when absolutely necessary! Thats how I am with my 9 year old, I have nothing to do with them unless it is dropping or picking up my son, we each do our own birthday party for him.
Hope everyone is doing well

 

[calebsmom06]

LMAO Andi!!!! Isaac is an awesome name! I hope your at home fertilization plan works! Just be careful girl! Your experiments have landed you in the ER plenty of times hehehe

 

[AndreaFlorida]

[waiting2012]

Be safe Andi- with H.I. and the hurricane coming!

Jenn, probably wouldn't be a bad idea anyways to see your doctor 12 wks post partum.. I don't know why most don't follow up then..

Nicole, hope the temps keep going up for you!!!!

Beth- hope the party with family went great!!

Have to get Adrian up for school... Let the fight begin... Ugh!!!

Well 7-10 DPO I got + OPKs, so if AF or BFP doesnt show up by Friday I'm going to assume that my body failed to ovulate before and start the wait again. At that rate, my next testing time would be Sept. 4th.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

My tempy dipped so ASSUMING today is O day an we did the deed last night just without "my tool" lol we shall see what will happen but I have a goooood feeling this month for some odd reason just some of thing things hehe...that are happening feel so RIGHT at the moment an APPARENTLY the aunt of the girls is gonna try an get them back although I've been told she can't but who knows we are in FLORIDA ....so if we get pregger its gonna have to have Isaac or Isaiah or something in there lol....anyways I gotta get Tyler bug up for school PRAYING they let school out early before it starts raining because I dont have a car to go get him DAMN IT! Jason had to work stupid fooking bloody work of his! Oh well I'll be on later I'm OUT OF OPK's an PRAYING mine come in the mail today

 

[armymama2012]

Well, my temp is still .8 above the coverline but mail just came and the tests arent here. So if they arent here tomorrow I will email my friend to ask if she remembered to send the tests! I will not be able to wait til Friday! If they are not here on Friday I will make DH go to Walmart and buy me lots of those 88 cent tests and an FRER!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

ooo that is exciting FX for you darling so sorry your tests aren't there IM PRAYING mine come today because out of OPK's DARN it they should have been here Friday

 

[waiting2012]

Oh, Andi!! I'm so glad you feel good right now hun!!! I have this wonderful feeling that prayers are going to be answered for you all!!! And the situation with the girls...Man, that just stinks! I sure hope someone opens their eyes and realizes what those girls need most! And I meant to tell you--I LOVE THE NAMES!! I think if we have a girl--I'm going to run the name Avery by Jason..I like it. Avery Grace...Its another A' name and I've never really liked the idea of the kids having similiar initials, but Avery is just too pretty...For a boy..That's tough...I like Noah and Jonah, which Jason has already said a big fat NO to.. SO probably Colton Samuel...But that's my choice...LOL...

Nicole--I hope your tests come in soon sweetie! I think its great that the temps are still up, that is AWESOME!

Oh..BTW...Went had my urine at the doctor's office... We are ++++... He's on vacation this week but I will call back next week because the nurse that saw me today set my next appointment for my 12th week--OCTOBER 22nd! ..She's new and not one that I've seen before anyways, so she told me to call next week about coming in sooner... He didn't sign the order for my blood test so only urine today.. BUT her wheel thingy said May 5th..Sticking with May 4th though.....We aren't telling anyone regardless until we make it to the u/s date.. Hope all goes well between now and then!

Love ya'll...Got some games to attack..Spent most of my lunch break peeing in a cup..

 

[armymama2012]

Apparently the friend who was sending me some hasn't even got hers that she ordered last Sunday because they were coming from Hong Kong! Ack, if only Walmart wasn't so far away I'd take my toddler and walk but that's almost 3 miles through very busy dangerous intersections. Suggestions?

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I guess just wait til they come I'm in the same situation waiting on the mail man praying they let them finish their runs today Because if this storm cancels it IM GONNA BE PISSED OFF!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Todays OPK since they finally got here from the mail man its about time! I'm gonna call this a +

 

[armymama2012]

Well I caved and took one of the digitals and got a NOT PREGNANT. Since this is my first time ever using a digital, it is so much more depressing. Now to wait for those tests to arrive or AF to be here...whichever comes first. I have a feeling this is going to be a 42+ day cycle.

 

[armymama2012]

Todays OPK since they finally got here from the mail man its about time! I'm gonna call this a +

Looks positive to me! Get to BDing girl!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

lol We've been doing that so hopefully something good comes from it I've got a stupid infection from too much of it LMAO!! Ooopsy oh well gonna try not to use anything except on the "outside" ....I think another issue was the antibiotics they always give me a fookin yeast infec. GRR!

 

[Affyash]

Well hello my lovelies! I cannot believe how big of a flake I am and how negligent I've been to my dear friends!

Soooooo Stephanie you could win the world record for world's most fertile woman! Congrats girlfriend! I am sooooo glad to hear that you got a positive at the dr. office, now they KNOW they need to keep a lookout for you and run tests and make sure this bean will be your sticky one. Def keep us posted on how you're doing and feeling. Hope school's going well for the kids and hope your work is treating you good!

Nicole, big welcome since I haven't said it before. This is a fabulous group of women and we're all very supportive (even the jerks like me that don't get on here enough!) Your temps sound so promising, I hope you're just going to get a lateish BFP. Keep up the BDing just in case. Good luck and I can't wait to see your lovely pink lines!

Andi your O tests look brilliant, just keep up the BDing. I know it seems like once you get those positives you're good, but I swear that's how I got prego this time, I just keep it up for another 3-4 days and whamo, it worked! I am so proud of you for making a decision that was right for YOU and your family about the girls. I know it couldn't have been easy because I know how bad you wanted them, but in the end, I agree with Beth when she said you never stop longing for your own infant even when you have other kids to love. Hugs!

Beth I'm so sorry that witch has been so evasive for you. I am bummed that your cycles aren't behaving more regularly. Are you still taking those supplements from GNC? I wish I had extras I could send you. I was all about researching the herbal supplements that could be taken for fertility regulation because I hated the idea of having to have medical intervention. I hope that you can find something that works for you and gets your eggs a rollin'! Hope the family party this weekend wasn't too bad!

Brooke I am SO devastated to have heard your news. I hope that you are able to recover and mend quickly. I think about you often I hope you're OK honey!

Mandy and Amanda I hope you're both doing well! I cannot believe you're almost (or are already!) in your third trimesters! I feel like this has gone by SO quickly I can't even keep track!

Jenn I hope your period comes soon, I know how stressful it can be not knowing what's going on with your body. I cannot believe Cam's almost 2 months! Holy cow!!! I hope the transition back to work wasn't too rough. How are the boys loving their new little man? Love ya!

And Tanya I hope little Emma is doing well! I loved the pics of you and her and the horsies the other day. How beautiful that she's going to be included in such a passion of yours, it's just so precious! XOXO

OK who else, who'm I forgetting? Just shoot me with horse shit if I forgot something important!

OK so the reason I've been so absentee lately is we were in escrow on another home (my dream home actually) and we LOST it again but this time instead of a bad inspection, we had a crappy appraisal. It came in being worth 40K less than what we were in escrow for! Which is crap because it was worth what we offered (and some comps in the area proved it) but the average of the other comps made it much lower. It was very stressful and very sad to go through.

HOWEVER, we're staying at my mom's house (and for the newbies, no, I don't live with her, I just rent her house from her LOL!) until we can buy a place of our own. So, we got the nursery all set up this past weekend. It is coming along so nicely! I will post pics when I get the bedding I had made. I think it should be here this week! AND I had my baby shower on Sat. It was really small and intimate and we had it at a Tea Room. High tea for my little lady! It was a really fun day and because it was small, I felt like I got to enjoy everyone's company.

So, I'm just chuggin' along, almost 34 weeks! We're still planning on delivering at 39 weeks (even though the previa is gone and it's just a low lying placenta now!) because they don't want me going into labor with the c-sec planned and all. Here's a pic of me at 32 weeks...I swear I look much smaller in the pic than in real life!!!

OK so sorry for the novel, I SWEAR on everything holy I'll be getting back on here more regularly from now on! Love you all!
