*~*~Open Forum Friday~*~* (And another roll call!)

Hi everyone! It's still Thursday night, I can't believe how quiet it has been on the forum lately. We still have room for another question this late in the day! I thought I'd get a forum started for tomorrow.

How about if we have a roll call, then we can all get reaquainted with what is going on with everyone.

Hello just checking in with the roll call

Me  32
DH  34
DD  6 1/2 years old
DS  4 1/2 months old

I am a SAHM and my DH is the Head High School Band Director here in Indiana.  He is also the Director of Music at the Church we belong to.  I am finding having two children is much more stressful than just one.  I love them both dearly though.  I am pretty sure I am done having babies but I am holding on to the thought for a few more years.  I enjoy the roll calls as well it is nice to see how everyone is.  Take Care

Hi Everyone!
i'm 35
husband 44
dd 3
dd 8 weeks
we're done

Blondie, I'm with you on how much more work 2 kids are!  My three year old is taking everything so well and loves her little sister, but man is it hard to get out of the house with 2!  It takes forever to get ready.  Overall, it is such a treat to have a newborn again though.  I forgot how much I love them.  

My 8 week old had her first round of vaccinations today - and she is 12lbs 10oz.  Is that alot for 8.5 weeks?  Her birth weight was 9lbs 1oz.

Hi! Mary, yes please join us. We have a lot of fun and everyone is so supportive. Are you trying to conceive presently?

Dawnna, I haven't went for the U/S yet, I'm drinking my 32oz of water right now...I thought looking on the computer would help distract me from how gross it is to drink that much water first thing in the morning. I better get going I still have 16oz left and only 8 minutes to finish!! I'll let you know how things go, it will probably be about 3 hours before I get home.
