TTC and Beyond!

Nikki it's awesome your mom was that supportive.
Cassidy good luck!
Julie it was not funny at the time. I hope you catch up on sleep.
Afm I feel nothing in the way of symptoms of af or pregnancy. I wish I did. Work was typical. I got yelled at, hurt my self (nail grazed my hand), someone dropped a tailgate on my knee and I want sleep.

Sorry your day was kinda lousy Katrina! Are you going to test, just out of curiosity? I don't recall feeling particularly pregnant either. Always always hoping and praying for you!

Any updates from Cassidy?

I totally stopped at the grocery on my way home to pick up some buns for hamburgers and fresh fruit and veggies and yogurt (essential items at our house!), and realized I had a coupon that made Betty Crocker fruit snacks free. I just got 20 boxes of fruit snacks completely free!! I'm super stoked. FREE STUFF! Lol. Hubby on the other hand.. his response was, "we don't even EAT fruit snacks!" haha! I told him to start. It isn't entirely true. We eat them on occasion. But they were free! I am sure there will be kids at our house between now and next May who will eat them.

 

[Cowgirl07]

I might, lol no set date for it or anything. I have two cheapies sitting in a bag.
I eat almost anything. Fruit snacks aren't bad! Besides your right kids love them

Hope everyone is well. Took me like 20 minutes to read everything i've missed.

Good luck Cassidy!!

Can't wait to see that beautiful little face!!

Britt-how are things with Harper??

 

[goldstns]

Congrats Cassidy!

advice: so a good friend of mine is getting married in phoenix next month. We are all flying there for the wedding. She just txt me "We are going to have some sitters there to watch kids. We were hoping to send all little ones down with them for the ceremony & while the adults eat bc there aren't high chairs at the reception. And parents can either leave their kids there, bring them out to dance, do a little of both, whatever. We just don't want crying/screaming for all the none parents during dinner but if you want her to stay with you for the whole shindig that's ok, just know they don't have high chairs. I'm just trying to see how many sitters we are actually going to need! " ... Personally I want Alia w us ...i cherish my time w her because I don't get much time w her when I work 40 hr/week. I said if that's what she prefers, I respect it, but would like her w us for the party part. Thoughts?

Congrats Cassidy!

Honestly Nikki? I personally find it kind of rude to.even say something like that.. Having kids isnt a bad thing! And who wants to leave their child with an absolute stranger? Not me!

On a completely unrelated note, I just found out while watching shark week that great white sharks are pregnant for 18 months.. Eff that! Lol

Here's a picture of miss Zuri for those of you that can't see on Facebook! She's so cute

Sandy give them out at Halloween.

 

[goldstns]

Too cute Cassidy!! Enjoy every moment mommy

 

[wavescrash]

Hahaha what a little cutie. She totally looks like she's thinking "What the heck is going on here? I was trying to sleep!"

 

[wavescrash]

Nikki - I don't find her text rude but that's just me. If it's a traditional dinner/reception, I personally wouldn't bring my kids unless there were going to be several other kids there with childcare at the reception itself (with a kids area or something.) I just don't see at as a kid-friendly atmosphere and would probably prefer to use that time to enjoy a "date night" with OH. I'm sure you could pop in and out to visit her during the ceremony/reception if need be.

 

[brunettebimbo]

I wouldn't be up for leaving my kids with strangers either.

Congratulations Cassidy she is beautiful

 

[frsttimemama]

Congratulations, Cassidy! She is adorable. Hope you both are doing well!

Thanks for the idea Rachel! Unfortunately, we don't any trick or treaters,out where we live. It is the middle of nowhere. I am just going to give some to my nieces and nephews and brother.

We cleaned and cleaned last night. Like moved our bed and everything. Now I am sore and exhausted, and still have more to do! But it will be nice and deep cleaned when baby comes. Hubby is going to help me finish tonight and shampoo the carpets this weekend. Then it is time to get the swing and pack and play and bassinette out and all set up for him. Only 5 weeks from today!!

Nikki- I have never been to a wedding where there are no kids. But my parents have, their invites always said Mr and Mrs (their name). If it didn't say and family, kids weren't invited, it's different. Especially for our area, kids are at everything. I do think it's rude that she texted it to you.
Awe she is adorable Cassidy.

 

[Lotalaughs16]

congrats Cassidy!! She's beautiful!!!

Nikki, i think your response was good. I agree it is kind of rude of her to text you that in the first place. My personal opinion on kids at weddings is...daytime wedding = kid friendly, nighttime wedding = not kid friendly. My parents never brought us with them to weddings except maybe one time it was at a farm and very kid friendly with a petting zoo. Do whatever makes you comfortable

Sandy, lol @ the shark week fun fact!

 

[goldstns]

I don't think my friend was rude by any means....to b honest I respect her for offering a sitter for those that would like it. On our invite it said "family". Me and her talk alot and it was known that my whole family would join seeing that we r making a family vaca out of the trip. She also has 2 little ones and I would assume understands being a mom very well. However my concern is we will be in a place I don't know at all, as we r flying there and I don't know the sitters at all. Also alia will b all out of her element and might b better w mommy/daddy. dh said if she has issues she would remove her and b with her as this is my good friend from college, not his. I know my friend is a stay at home mom so I don't know how well she knows the sitters. And we r on vaca...id like to be with Alia seeing that working 40hr/week I don't get much time w her besides weekends.
