TTC and Beyond!

[frsttimemama]

Oh yummy! That sounds so good and nice I had some toast. I am sure Hubby will take me to lunch though since we are out running errands, and we won't have supper together since I work. I need a day off to go to the grocery, do laundry, and clean my house! It's a wreck and i'm a neat freak so i can't stand it.

So, I mentioned before that DH and I have been house hunting and we had found a house close to his work that sounded perfect...well my mom and grandma informed me that it may be te house where 20 years ago a mother and her 2 daughters and son were murdered then the guy went and shot himsel as he drove off a cliff...they weren't sure if that was the house but said my aunt should know so my aunt drove by it and said, it looks nicer than it used to but that she thinks it's the one where it happened We're still going to look at it today, I want to see what vibes I get from it and also am going to ask about it. I'm curious though, would you guys live there after knowing something like that happened? I'm creeped out, DH is annoyed that I would change my mind based on something that happened so long ago.

I would granted I grew up in a fifth generational home. So I knew the history but I had great grandparents that were born and died there. I don't think it's a huge deal though it is a bit depressing to think about.

 

[asmcsm]

Well, I think dying in the house of old age or natural causes is one thing. But to know that an entire family was brutally murdered there I'm jut not sure I could do it

 

[Cowgirl07]

I say go and see what you think.
Ps my grandma tried to convince me my house had bad vibes because someone committed suicide here in the 40s. No bad vibes at all.

 

[morganwhite7]

I, personally, would be scared of the ghosts

 

[asmcsm]

Yea, I'm definitely going to check it out. Morgan, I'm superstitious too lol.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I personally couldn't. It would freak me out.

 

[pdxmom]

Ash honestly I'd b frightened if the ghosts too...I mean even if I don't feel anything wen I got to c the house I'd probably freak myself out if I decided to live there

 

[Cowgirl07]

Well I'm off to the sale shortly then going out for supper to celebrate with friends.

 

[asmcsm]

Sonia, that's my worry too. I don't know the actual spots that everything occurred in the house but I have been old some of the details of what was done which are disturbing. Plus, I've been in haunted houses that I didnt feel anything but I know they were haunted because friends lived in them and experienced it. Also my aunts friend lived in a house where there was a murder and my aunt said she always felt comfortable there but her friend kept getting locked in the bathroom so she moved recently. I think it's different when you're the one living there. I'm just hoping that this isn't actually the house

 

[brunettebimbo]

Hope you have a lovely day Katrina! Happy Birthday again!

 

[pdxmom]

I think it makes the house interesting in a weid way. I would want to look up all the details of what happened and why, but living there may creep me out.
Morgan. Awsome news. Now you guys can look forward to the future.
Sounds like you had fun mirolee. I desperately need new bras. My boobies have grown to an E wtf! By the time milk comes they will be ridiculous.
Cass its totally normal to feel jealousy. But as soon as the babies come it will be nice. Its really nice to have people with babas the same age and you can do baby groups together.
Amanda and rachel hope you girls are doing ok.
Good news on the appt katrina .

Happy bday Katrina

 

[frsttimemama]

Ash, I'd check it out, but the thought of those ghosts are scary!

Happy Birthday Katrina!

Hubby and I were talking earlier, and he feels weird using the stroller and car seat we got little guy. I'm feeling weird using his clothes. I know we won't buy all new, but I think we are going to sell the brand new stroller carseat combo and buy new .. and hope for a girlso I have a good reason to buy all different clothes. This is tough!

 

[Kiamaria83]

Happy birthday katrina.
Totally understandable sandy. You do what you think is right for you guys.
I'm planning on donating my umbilical cord to leukemia charity. Have you girls heard of this ?

 

[morganwhite7]

Sandy- my hubby was the same way with everything, especially Jaxon's clothes. I found I couldn't even really look at his things until just recently. We are asking for a pink plush car seat cover on the registry so that we can reuse his. Also after a long time staring at his boxes, I went thru and found a BUNCH of yellow or baby blue (not sports themed or green/blue) onesies and sleepers that Marley can use. It took a long time to convince hubby, but after a while he became fond of the idea to use anything of Jaxon's that we could.. Saved us hundreds. Even blue pacifiers, bottles, and socks! I just figured, things are only things. Our baby never got to use them so why not. Try and remember that you have his memory, that stuff is just stuff and it feels really great to get over that "phobia". I was an absolute mess going through his things, but it feels good to have gotten over it. I try to remind myself that if he was here, he'd want to (or I'd make him ) share with his sister anyways! Obviously do whatever you'd like, but it felt good to get over that fear! I am with you on not bringing the car seat to the hospital though.. That was the worst memory of all, bringing it home empty..

Collete- Yes and you are so lucky! I asked about it at my last OB appt and they said they quit doing it in my state 3 years ago bc it was funded by donations :/

 

[Kiamaria83]

Really. What a shame. Is there no way someone from another state would collect ? Ive just been reading up on it , I didn't know that they are stored and can be used worldwide. It makes me feel good , I like the thought that my babies life support can give someone else life.
Not long until little lady marley arrives
