Long time no Post...miss me? ;)
Well, browsing through the posts I see I've missed quite a bit. Joy and Michele are halfway through pregnancies...geez!! I see a lot of new names on here, that's awesome!! As for me, things have been rather hectic...Gabe is now 10 months old...can you believ that? TEN WHOLE MONTHS already. We've bought a house and moved...been trying to do some remodeling etc. Working full time + new house + 4 kids = not much spare time.
So, I will be trying ever so desperately to squeeze in a peak atleast once a day here. I MUST hear how EVERYONE is doing...
I must say reading about BFP's and seeing "I'm __ weeks along now" makes me kinda jealous lol. I know I said that Gabe was absolute last baby, but....well....I'm feeling the urge lately. Dont know why, I've got enough chaos in my life, but that feeling keeps rearing its head. To top it off last night I was laying in bed with my 5 yo and I told her to give me lovings so I could go in my room and she sits up and says, and i'm paraphrasing the first part "When if you ever have another baby in there I'm going to give it lots of hugs and kisses EVERY night" as she proceeds to actually DO so. Then she goes on this rambling about baby names... The last time she kept talkinga bout a new baby...well...Gabe surprised us. AND...being that I am no longer on my BC...well anythings possible. My OB had given me a a script with 9 refills but they ran out last month. I didn't have insurance until this month and I have yet to figure out co-pays etc. So it's back to the whole "not trying to get pregnant but not trying not to" thing again. So if it's meant to be it will be, if not...well, whatever :D

Yeah, who knows...I'm waiting. Yesterday I felt like ****...didn't each much, felt a little like throwing up, tummy wasn't too happy. Today is a little better but not great. Every once in awhile I'm getting pains either mild or sharp on either side of my abdomen. Either my body is thoroughly screwed up or somethings going on lol. AF SHOULD be due next week, if nothing happens by the weekend i'm gonna test.
Gosh woman!!! lol. Nice to see you on here again! TJ is also 10 months. Check out my new pics!! (i uploaded them).
I'm 12w this week and saw you posted on my thread about U/S next week.
Maybe you are preggo??? lol. Lemme know how it goes and if it's just DD's wishful thinking or child's intuition...

Tabby,
Yeah a new home IS a lot of work...we just got our last two new countertops in yesterday and they are WRONG...I'm SOO Mad... I'm waiting for the place to call me back now. My house is a mess...We're tearing down paneling and putting up sheet rock....so half my living room is painted paneling and the other half is exposed sheet rock. I have a hole in my hallway ceiling where we took out a house fan and plan to put attic stairs but havne't, my master bath has no trim, not completely painted. So, there's a loooooooooooong list of to do's there but we got a really good deal on it...we got it for almost 40k LESS than it appraised for and with the upgrades we are doing it will only increase the value. I love it though, it's a HUGE home. It's 4 br, 2 bath (will be 3 if we fix the basement one), HUGE 19' x 36' living room, a good size kitchen, formal dining, large foyer, ingraound pool (which needs work), and it's on a 3.5 acre lot. It's a total of 3600 sf not including the basement area. We got it for a steal.
As for the "bug" I have it one day and the next I dont and so on. One day I'm like "i really want another one" then I'm like "what the heck are you thinking" so...i'm just letting God and nature handle this one. I'm not on birth control but i'm not trying TTC either so we'll just wait and see. Knowing how fertile I am though it probably won't be long before I join the ranks of the prego once more LOL

Welcome back!!! Yes you were missed, lol. Well update on me is- #4 is now on the way..........Dalton will be 11 months when our first girl arrives!!! We are definatly done after this, but then again, im sure I will get THAT bug again somewhere down the road. I will just have to resist:=)
We were both August 08 mommys and now im a August 09 mommy!!! I cant beleive how big our boys have gotten! Time flys when your having fun, lol!
Congrats on your new house! We just bought and moved at the begining of this month too! I love my new house but man! So much work!

OKay wow! You are one strong woman!! That is crazy!! haha. I couldn't even imagine all of that at once like that!! AHHH! I don't think I will plan any major road trips for a while yet. Although we were thinking once this baby arrives to go out to Wyoming...probably a 3 day drive for us out there....hmmm....I will think long and hard about it! lol.
HEY! The do grow fast don't they? Gabe isn't walking yet...but he's crawling and pulling up... he's a porker though so that's a lot of butt to haul around LOL. He does what I call the "kick stand crawl" he gets down on hands and knees....uses his right leg to push himself forward like he's on a skateboard and lets the left leg drag along....he CAN do a traditional crawl but forwhatever reason he prefers his way LOL. Good luck with TTC...maybe this is the month.
Hey you!! Its been for ever! Lets see.....Hunter is 10m as well and he is WALKING!!! He is getting so big!!! Hubby and I are ttc(for our last...i think) LOL Its been 3months now and nothing!! But i am 1week late!! Ekkkk....Im so glad everything is going good for you!!
Chantal...yeah the whole international flight SUCKED.... I'm really glad I don't have to do that with FOUR kids. I also had to do a major road trip with a 10 yr old 2 yo and 11 mos ....from souther mississippi to northern mississippi then to arkansas then from arkansas to middle georgia...then to pensacola, fl....This was all in 2 weeks time...when we had to evacuate the base for hurricane katrina. First we stayed in a small camper, then at my Bil's overnight then hubby had to go back to base but we couldn't so I drove from Memphis to middle georgia by myself with 3 kids...stayed at my in laws in a travel trailer...then down to FL to stay in a motel room...Talk about crazy!!!!
Welcome back GA!! Let us know what happens.. I am no longer pregnant. Jaxson is almost 5 months old, but I still pop on occasionally and give my 2 cents! =)
lol. Thanks!! Jeremiah is pretty laid back but I hope he doesn't attack the baby or pull the baby's eyelids off! lol. I'll remember about the whole international flight thing! =) You make me laugh.
I try to show him now how mommy's belly is growing and I tell him to "give baby kisses" so he leans over my belly and kinda hugs it not kisses it. lol. Then he wants to poke my belly button....I'm sure he doesn't get it yet. haha. He will be shocked in 3 months though! I have lots of help around, so I know I will be very thankful for that. My mom plans on moving in for at least a week or two to help out which will be wonderful! She lives over an hour away.

LOL...thanks Michele....I'm kinda getting the baby bug again....UH OH!
Chantal: Well There wasn't much i could do to prepare a 14 mo old for a baby...just made sure to show her the difference in being gentle and rough when she was near my belly. We had her in the delivery room so she saw him right off...most times she was really good...if i left ther oom with him she would follow me with his binky and burp clothe....other times she'd get pissed and smack him in the head or try to pull his eye lids off. But she is also a very high strung child too. Now they are very close. It has it's benefits and disadvantages....the whole having two in diapers wasn't so bad. ....just don't go on an international flight while they are. LOL

We have missed you so much GA!!! I was just wondering about you the other day too...I wondered if I PMed you if you would get it. I didn't know if you have it set up to e-mail you or not. Anyway, I have missed you tons and I am having another girl!!! Can you believe it?? This will be my 6th child but my 5th girl :) My DH just doesn't make boys. LOL! But that' s okay. We are thrilled for another princess and all my girls want a girl. Well, the ones old enough to understand do anyway!
PM me if you can find the time!
PM me if you can find the time!
wow! Did you find it pretty easy with them being so close in age? Any challenges? I'm a little scared to have 2 in diapers and Jeremiah doesn't understand yet what is going on. Not sure if he will get it once the baby arrives either. I'm trying to prepare myself, but how?
Wow Chantal....sounds like me....I had my youngest girl...and when she was 5 months old ..my oldest boy snuck up on us so they are 14 months apart.
Welcome back!! Haven't seen ya in sometime!! I am pregnant with number two..total suprise! I will be 24 weeks tomorrow. Jeremiah is just about 14 months now. They will be about 17 months apart.
