Haha, that gave me a good laugh...but you know, it's weird, when i get around people who are pregnant or have babies, I get all gushy and start wanting a baby. Of course I don't have any yet, but maybe there is some type of osmosis thing to do with it....who knows. We are pretty crazy like that though. :) Thanks for the story Ashie!
Ahaha it's funny though. I mean, I didn't get all in a baby craze when my nephew was born, but it's just crazy to think about! Ahaha
My husband told him dad, and then he looked at me, and asked why I started all of this in our family, LMAO! And he laughed!
So let me get this str8 you didn't know you where pregnant until you were 7 months? How did that go unnoticed? Didn't you feel kicks, and movements and no period. Umm I have irregualr cycle but everytime I got pregnant I knew. I don't see af sometimes for 4 or 5 months apart. But 3 pregnancies and I never got a neg. I always knew. Maybe I misunderstood you. Is that what you where saying?
I had taken over 40 tests and all were negative! Even a urine test at the doctors came out negative! Only a blood test revealed! But I had this surge in my thyroid happen and my doctor and an endocrynologist thinks that that surge for a week screwed up my body to make everything say negative! I always thought the kicks were just my stomach gurgling or like something I ate ahaha! I had no signs besides the missed period
You didn't know you were pregnant with your dd?
I think pregnancy must be catching. At least in my family. I have 5 sisters, 1 bro. I am pregnant with my first. This baby will be no 18 grandchild for my mum. One sister will have her 4th just before me, another sister's 3rd baby is currently 3 months old. Of all these kids, the oldest is 13. The next is 8, and then they all go down from there in terrifyingly close succession. You can imagine how crazy family get togethers would be.
:)
No I did not know. I wasn't showing, and had no signs. Besides the missed period that even the doctors thought was because of my thyroid disaster, I had taken over 40 tests and they were all negative. It's not that hard to believe. There are people I know who didn't find out till they were in labor at 40 weeks.
Sugar_Sally888~ 18 grandkids? CRAZY! Ahaha! I can only imagine! On my husbands family get togethers, good god. Well his mom side, of all his cousins and sisters he is the oldest at 25!! He has 30 girl cousins! 1 boy cousin who is severely handicapped thanks to his mom. 3 of his cousins each have three crazy kids, then one sister has a kid, the middle one is due in dec, and the other is 16....On his dads side, let's see mimxture this time 15 boy cousins, which there is only one older than him and it's by 2 months, and 13 girls that i've met there is 2 more that haven't been over from utah yet.... CRAZY! Ahaha, it's insane.
I don't even know how many cousins i have, nor would i since i only have seen them once like when i was 4. Ahaha
That is so crazy to hear, my family is sooo tiny. I have 4 cousins....totally...age 25-29. How boring is that!?!?!?! I would love to have a big family!

Motherofan18month~ so your brothers and sisters...the first 4 are all a year apart? holy smokes! My kids so far are 10 months 3 weeks apart, were suppose to be exactly 1 year but my son decided that wasn't happening.
My nephew is 10 months 3 weeks older than my daughter, and my daughter is to my son LOL and the my dh's nephew is 8 months 6 days younger then my son, and his up come neice is scheduled for a c-section (due to placenta previa) dec 21 ....
I seriously think there is something up here!
Motherofan18month~ I am sorry that you and your SIL had to go through that twice, but on the brighter side of it you guys knew exactly how the other was feeling at the same time, so you had someone there for you!
Kels123- It's a good thing and a bad thing, think of all the birthday presents we have to buy..... It gets insane! Out of all the people there is only ONE month without a birthday, and that's February!! So my husband and I got married in February! Feb 21, exactly a week after valentines day and then 1 1/2 before my birthday, but I kind of want to have this kid in feb. LOL I'm expected to go feb 22 to mar8.... SO maybe i can change that lol
Ashie ~ Yer post was too cute! =D I know when my best friend got pregnant, I *so* wanted to start trying too. But I'm glad I waited! =D
As for my family ...on my mother's side I have two uncles and threetwo aunts. There were a total of 9 grandchildren, the oldest is now 38 or 39 and the youngest (twins) are 17 or 18. =D Before the last three were born (my brother and my aunt's twins), we used to get all the family together on Thanksgiving at my grandparents' house. It was a lot of fun ...but definitely a full house!! So I can't imagine having more than that!! =D Also, my oldest cousin (I'm the third oldest) has a son ...so there's one (soon to be two) great-grandson's on my mom's side of the family. =D Hooray for four generations!
On my dad's side, I had two uncles and two aunts ...they have kids and their kids have kids ...but I didn't even try to keep track of his side! lol I got way too confused. I also have two step-sisters who have a total of five kids (the youngest was born this Sept).
Lastly, on my bio. dad's side, I have an uncle and aunt ...I have (that I know of) five cousins (4 girls, 1 boy) ...and I have two half-sisters ...so that's a total of 8 grandkids on that side. =D Also, my oldest cousin had a son a few years ago, so that's at least one great-grandkid on that side of the family.
I don't see or talk to much of my dad and bio dad's family ...and I don't know how often they themselves get together. I know my mom's side are always getting together and vacationing with each other ... in fact my two uncles and their wives are going to be visiting my Gma this month ...so she'll have three of her kids with her! (My mom lives a couple miles away from my Gma). I know she loves having her family in town ...I just wish I could visit more often!
Ok, sorry for that long post that may have wandered off topic. =D But I *loves* my family! <3
Avanaar~ I think it's awesome to have to many generations...In my family, my grandparents aren't alive, I never knew them, so It's my dad, me my kids sort of thing...But on my husbands side this baby will make 4 great great grandkids...His grandma's(moms side) parents are still alive, and his dad's side is the same. Their great grand parents are still alive...So 5 generations. It's crazy! Definately a full house on holidays! I think when we have a get together, we have cars all over the street, taking up every spot, and the house is so full that were lucky there is 6 bathrooms LMAO!
When we have babyshowers for just the family, it's crazy cause we pretty much get everything and so much more. Insane!
