Hi Janehill- I wanted to congratulate you on your
I give you so much credit for doing this on your own. I once was in a similar situation so I know how much strength it takes. I pray that everything goes well with your pregnancy. Keep us posted.

Teresa- Secret Sister sounds like such a cute idea! Under any other circumstance I would have loved to participate however I am honestly not sure that I can commit myself for five months. My babies are due in five months and I am imagining that my life will get very hectic preparing for their arrival. Hopefully there will be a next round and I can participate then. Enjoy your vacation!
Igloochic- Any news on the HPT front? Best wishes for a ! Janehill- Congratulations on the ! Sending lots of , and Godiva- I am actually showing quite a bit. DH keeps reminding me how big I am getting! I am planning on telling my family that I am expecting around 20 weeks. I have a large family function then and I feel it would be best to tell them in person. Enjoy your 4th of July party and your adult beverages while you can. Best wishes, I am looking so forward to your FET! Hope-The baby's heartrate should be at 120 or above. Anything lower is your heart beat. The doppler can be a bit tricky but you will get used to using it in time. Best wishes! SRL- Best wishes on your first u/s! Please KUP. Melanie- It sounds like you have a very fun day planned. Just think, next year you will be able to celebrate the fourth of July with Brianna! Helene- I am glad to hear that everything is moving along so well with the new house. Be careful packing and make sure to stay well hydrated and take frequent breaks. When is your next u/s? Karen- It must have been amazing to share the fireworks experience with your son! I am looking forward to your FET. Please KUP. Soulshine- I am happy to hear that you are moving ever closer to your FET. Best wishes for a and a happy and healthy 9 months!Karmababy- 3dp5dt is still very early! Try to relax and begin re-testing again in a few days. Best wishes for a !Malloned- I hope that the sleep situation improves soon. As Karen suggested, it is probably best to cut out caffeine as much as possible (especially around bedtime) as well as sugar. I did see a relaxation tea for pregnant women in Babies R Us yesterday. I think it is manufactured by the same company that makes Belly Bars. It may be worth looking in to. Guy- I have to say it seems as though you did an amazing job handling a less than favorable and rather sticky situation. Hopefully the boys will learn quickly that pooping on daddy is not the answer. Best wishes! AFM: I am looking forward to my OBGYN appointment on Monday. This morning I woke up on my stomach so hopefully the appointment will be able to put my mind at ease. I am off now to prepare for a fourth of July BBQ! HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY EVERYONE!!!

Happy 4th to everyone!
Guy- I had a similar experience the other night. Our girls don't poop so we have to suppository them after a couple of days (they love it so much...not). Claire had just finished her assisted poop and I cleaned her up. Suddenly I hear a fart and there is a spray of poop everywhere! It was all over my arm, the floor, the changing table. Wow! That stuff can travel! I was not as calm as you, and yelled for Dude to bring me a towel. Luckily, Mommy is not grossed out by poop so I didn't need to scrape my skin off; I just washed well with soap and water.

Thanks again everyone!
Karmababy - I did want to jump on the wagon and tell you that, yes, 3dpt is WAY WAY WAY too early. I mean, I imagine only the Octomom got a positive on that day. Definitely give it another 2-3 days at least.Bluebutterfly - thanks for the kind words. I go from sheer excitement to terror. I just think back to my mom who left her husband (my dad) in her mid 30's with a toddler (me), came to a brand new country on her own and struggled in ways unimaginable to me but you know what, she did great - with only a fraction of the resources (financial and otherwise) I have. So, I think it's possible to do responsibly. I'm sure going to give it my all. Best wishes too all of the ladies this week in either ET or ER, u/s or betas. Those are probably the most nerve-wracking events. ![]()

OMG This just made me laugh so hard! When my daughter was sick once with she did that to me while I was changing her. There I was holding her legs getting ready to wipe and she let it rip. Shot straight across the room. I was so horrified but all I could do was laugh because it was actually funny.

Karma- Hope you get great news at your beta on Tuesday. Hope you get your positive HPT before then to ease your mind.
Stephanie- Hope you're making a dent in your to do list! And that you enjoyed your sweet tea on the 4th. Hope- Glad to hear the doppler is easing your mind. Browneyes- Hope your surgery went well and that you are recovering nicely and quickly. Igloo- I keep checking to see when your second line actually shows up! Jak- Congrats on coming to a decision. I know that can really be tough. Good luck in your cycle, we'll be here cheering you on. Malloned- Hope you will be sleeping better soon and that you never have any m/s. It's got to be hard not getting sleep, esp. when you feel so tired. Kirsten- Thank you so much again for your insight. It's nice to hear about the whys and wherefores from both sides of the table. That defeinitely helps me to understand why a Dr won't just tell me what they think I should be doing. JD- Glad you enjoyed the winery and the parade! ET is right around the corner, though I'm sure it can't come fast enough for you. (I don't know that I have such a great outlook, though. We all just play the hand we're dealt. )Blue- Congrats on moving to the next step! Teresa- So sorry about the fire alarm! What a bummer! Hope your headache is gone. I'm looking forward to you assigning matches. Can't wait to find out who I'm shopping for. Karen- Glad your son enjoyed the fireworks- they are an amazing sight to behold. Glad to hear also that you've decided on a POA. Fingers crossed for you. Melanie- Hope you enjoyed the beach with your niece and nephew, and glad you're finally getting some sun. SRL- Hoping the three days go quickly! I know you must be so excited about your u/s. (Glad you figured out the address glitch. I was reading that and asking myself what the devil lip and body piercings have to do w/POAS.) Guy- Your post was hilarious! Go 23! Faith- Hope your ob/gyn appt goes well tomorrow. And I'm sure your family will be so thrilled when you finally share your news. Kate- When it rains, it pours! Was hoping the girls had started to become a little more regular. Jane- You're so right! Lots of women have had babies in much worse situations and done very well. Being a parent is never easy, no matter what your life situation. To all, a wonderful Sunday!
