Heidi- Can I drive to your house for a piece
It's a shorter drive than IKEA!

DH is making me Pillsbury Grands cinnamon buns. Well, he will try. I don't think he has ever used the oven.
I better tell him to take out the pans I store in there!

Susan, I would hate for anyone to see the kitchen right now. It looks like DH had a fight with the bag of flour.
Besides, I'm in my jammies already!

Back later!

Shawna-I was just looking at your sig and noticing how very similar we both are in our IF crap. Have you had multiple m/c workups? Testing for thyroid, blood and immunological disorders? You might have mentioned it, but I was just thinking...


Heidi-you and DH have been through so much. I am so glad that having DD has brought him to his senses and caused him to mature. You truly are a strong woman!

IKEA has food? Crazy!

Tia-I never cook with my husband. Some times I want to, but I am afraid that he will taste funny. So I substitute chicken for him.

I decided that I need all of you girls to come to my house and help me with my glass business. Here is how it would work:

Alana-display mgr
Ronni-business mgr
Tia-legal
Shawna-website mgr
April-delivery outside 100 mile radius
Josee-advertising
Kelly-HR

Martie, Brenna, Susan, Shelley, Devan, Amy-pg lady sales...people will HAVE to buy from a pregnant lady standing on a corner with a table of glass

Heidi and Rachael- baby sales...people will HAVE to buy from Stella and Aiden

Tia's and Heidi's DH's-food (for us of course!)
Rachael's DH-wine (for us of course!)

Now we need someone to build me a glass blowing/fusing studio...

Tell him there are four left. DH just ate 6 of them in two seconds. he came home hypoglycemic and is now singing in the shower.
Anyones else's dogs constantly up their azz?
Mine are following me everywhere I go. I mean every move I make they get up from wherever they are and follow me around.
I don't get it.

Amy I meant to say earlier that those fights are all too familiar for me, especially since the pregnancy. The further along I am it seems the worse they get b.c the more I feel needy and neglected.
Know that a lot of it is your hormones and sensitivity to the pregnancy, we are also very protective of our babies and when someone makes us feel sad and alone, it's scary.
Second- DH's just don't get pregnancy. No matter how hard we try to explain it to them, or how excited they seem, they are clueless when it comes to how we are feeling and what hard work this is.
To them our bellies just look bigger and we cry more.

Ughhh.... Men. Like mine did not make me the cinnamon buns. Jerk.

You've all been so busy typing away today! Speaking of dh's, mine is currently watching American Gladiator and I just told him he must be losing brain cells by the second!

Alana - Please come visit us in GA!! We do have nice beaches and we've got tons of room. Do not worry about the BRU fiasco. That store is a pain in the as* sometimes even in person and they are weird about returns!

Ronni - You are just the cutest thing. When I die, I want to come back with your body Oh, and you better be on the lookout for a basket too...

Susan - I can not believe you cussed out a 75 yr old lady and she cussed back! OMG. Totally doesn't happen down South so it's making me chuckle. I hope it was before our texting! That was a fun surprise for me too to see your message! I love the diaper bag.

Jen - I'm going on FB later to check out the site and baby Aiden would love to model jewelry! I'm not into the 18 kids either for one family. Do you think they even spend 5 mins a day with each?

Shawna - So glad dh got that u/s fixed up for you! Super dh over there!

Heidi - You're absolutely right about these paralyzing fears as a parent. I guess the saying is true - once you're a parent you never really have another good night of sleep! You and DH have definitely been through more than your share of struggles. Your dd is just too adorable for someone not to be 100% percent around. I'm so glad he is making up for lost time now and will be a fantastic dad.

Shelly - I still have to make it to your registry. I promise very soon. Work's been keeping me busy this week.

Tia - I just finished cooking these lasagna rollups tonight. They were super yummy!

More cute Aiden stories here. I have to brag since I complained solid for those first 2 months! I got an exercauser for Aiden. For all the moms to be, this is what they look like but it's basically surronding the kid with toys!http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/prod...3426146reg.jpg

Anyway, within 48 hours, Aiden has figured out how every toy works. I am so amazed and my Mom is coming over tomorrow to see her brillant grandchild. I can't believe it. He's already figured out which ones sing songs and he immediately spins himself to those. He figured out how to push the button and make the jack-in-the-box pop up. I could just watch him for hours in there amazed! Oh, and I can't wait to share advice so bring on the questions!
