heidi - dd is the best. what a pumpkin! shake, shake, shake your booty.

shawna - sorry you're not feeling well. i did have fried food tonight - went to TGIFridays and had fried mac and cheese and fried bbq pork raviolis. to die for!

april - have a safe trip!

alana - sooooo excited for you!

susan - how is phoebe doing with her acid reflux?

rach - poor aiden and his little bottom! hope he feels somewhat better tomorrow.

i had a breakdown tonight in front of friends, which i've never done before. it was 4 of my girlfriends and me in the car on the way to Friday's. they talked for an entire 15 minutes about who is pregnant and how everyone is pregnant. guess what, not everyone is pregnant! two of them know my struggles and i was so hurt that they could be so off-hand about it. is started crying in the car but no one saw. i just said i was tired. i called dh to come get me but i felt better after talking to him and stayed. i don't care if they thought i was rude. i'm so vulnerable right now and was NOT in the mood, ya know? i still had fun though.

hope everyone had a good night!

Morning girls. So the charge nurse phoned this morning and I'm going in now! DH and I are pretty nervous and excited all at the same time.

Anyway, I have Jens and Susans cell numbers so I'll text when I can or get DH to post on here.

Good luck tomorrow Kelly, I'll be thinking of you while I'm at my induction...it will help keep my mind off all the scary stuff and give me a chance to think of your little embie getting all snug in there.

Have a great day girls...and pray hard for little Reed that he has a safe and easy entrance to this world.

Liza... I've had that very same thing happen. My best friend and I had a bit of a falling out when I was at my lowest point... after my first ectopic... she couldn't understand my pain as she has proclaimed she never wants kids and that drove me batty. I spent more time with another friend who had had a miscarriage but trudged on and finally had her first child... and that was empowering to me and she was just able to be there for me in a way that my best friend just wasn't. Well, when my best friend finally "got it" and knew how important this was to me, she started to support me unconditionally and we've never been more close (she's "Auntie Kari" on littlehume.com). Sometimes you need to distance yourself from friends and surround yourself with people who empower you in your fight against infertility... and that is okay. True friends will come around.

New England girls... yeah, that was an intense storm... I went down to my car this morning to get my cell phone... I have about three inches of water on the floor of my car!!!! After some investigation, I notice there is a big chip out of the top of my windshield and it leaked water into my car all night long!!!

ALANA!!! It's here, it's here!!! The day is finally here!!! Reed's gonna be here, I'm gonna say tomorrow morning... !!!

Heidi, DD is hysterical!!! Hehe... she's a keeper!

Jen, that crib is fantabulous! The safety standards of cribs extends to anyone trying to sell cribs... even the Amish! A good rule of thumb, though, if you're wondering, the slats should never be further apart than a can of soda.

I'm going back to bed so I can dream up a way to fix my car... what an awful way to wake up... this sucks.

Alana, all the best for a safe delivery. Everything is going to be great. I will wait anxiously for pictures and an update.

[sunny72]

I just emailed this to DH at work and said that this could be a maybe?

Could it possibly be a faint dainty positive, or am I imagining things?:

Who knew it was so hard to take a picture of a stick. This was after about 10 minutes but it showed up after about 3 mins? I bought one stick this morning hoping it would be more conclusive and I could get on with my life and feel PMSy. I totally expected to see red when I got home this morning. I guess I'm 7dp5dt today.

[ara79]

HEIDI!!! There is NO imagining going on over there!!! That is FOR SURE a POSITIVE!! You are !!!!!!!

Alana, today is the day! I can't believe it! Lots of hugs and prayers headed your way. We love you and can't wait to "meet" Reed!

[ara79]

Holy smokes Heidi, I can't stop smiling for you!

[MamaSoon]

WOO HOO HEIDI!!!! That doesn't look that faint to me! :-)



GOOD LUCK REED AND ALANA! Can't wait for the news. I hope it all goes better than planned even.

[ara79]

ok and is it me or are those lines not even faint and dainty?

where did heidi go? i was all ready to obsess and analyze the tests.

[sunny72]

Thank you for the reassurance guys. Of course the negative bar came up instantly and in my head I'm saying "F YOU STICK, WTF" and things of that nature, so I went to get a drink and let my heartbeat slow down a bit and then right before my eyes, like an apparition, the plus sign appeared ever so slowly. I'm still not convinced and my hands are still shaking half an hour later.

If this is real, I just hope it's a little healthy one and it'll grow and prosper in there. I don't want to loose another one.

[sunny72]

Amy, the lines were totally faint after the three minutes but I ran around frantically trying to find my camera and then my hands were shaking so hard I couldn't take the darn picture -- so that is after probably 10-15 minutes. Does that count?

[mia23]

There is nothing dainty about that positive Heidi!!!!!!! That is one BIG FAT JUICY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!

Alana- Yay for going in early. Reed is going to be here safe and sound before we know it .

Shelly- Sorry about your car . That stinks. I hope there is a way to drain it and get it fixed.

Liza- Sorry your friends were being insensitive. I get it all the time and just try to ignore people. Its not good but I have to seclude myself from a select few.

Amy- I cant wait for pics!!!! I have not seen your belly in so long.

Jen- That furniture looks really nice and sturdy and cute too. But make sure you can reach the baby, lol.

Hi Susan, how is Phoebe today? Has she smiled yet?

Jessica- Are the boys still gone? How long is Mandy away?

April- Have a safe flight!!! I vote that you bring the comp . I would miss you too much.

Josee- Do we get project pics? I love seeing home improvement pics. We have a to do list for our house that was suppossed to be done by the end of summer but very little has been done. I am going to have to get Dh on top of that one.

Rachael- I hope Aidens sore bum is feeling better. What butt cream do you use? My family swears by pink salve.

Who am I missing? Who is she? Hello to you missing lady. It will pop in my head soon.

[ara79]

oh it counts heidi, it so counts! lots of prayers starting RIGHT now for your little bean to snuggle in tight for the long haul.

[Wannafamily]

HEIDI!!!! I'm with the others - that is not a FDP - it is a strong !! I am SO excited for you!!!

[Mom2MandyandTristan]

Jen...that crib is beautiful. I watch Suze Orman (financial advisor on CNBC) and someone called in during her 'Can I afford it" session and they wanted to know if they could afford an Amish crin set. One things that stood in my mind was Suze telling the women how very well made Amish furniture is so even though it was expensive and the women couldn't really afford it it was a good invest becuase it would be with her for years especially if she has more kids in the future. The slants in Tristan's crib are only 2 inches apart. You can see it on either his website or on HGTV rate my space website (both link are in my siggy).

Alana....OMG!!!! Your time is here and I am soooo sooo happy and excited for you. Don't be scared, the time goes quick and before you know it Reed will be here. That moment you see him it will make you forget everything you have been through in your pregnancy/delivery.

Shelly....OMG!! That is horrible. Can you use crazy glue to stop the lek for now or is it too big? Maybe drape a tarp over it?

Amy...how is your CD coming along?

Sunny...I see it clearly. That is definitely a positive!! You are !!! Congrats!

Liza....it's ok to have those moments. When I got pregnant with Tristan and we realized it might actually stick I was too nervous to tell any of my TTC friends. I knew they knew my flight and would have been supportive but I couldn't hurt their feelings cause despite how happy they would be for me they would still ask themselves why not me. Fortunately they all got pregnant around the same time so we got to share our stories/support and now our babies are only a few weeks apart from each other. Well except one friend who's fiancee is on crack and she keeps miscarring (and has no idea why). Sorry I went off track. Anyway no matter what happens with your friends you always have us to turn to!!

Mia....yup the boys are gone. Mandy returns tonight for school and the guys tomorrow. Since hubby is a stay at home dad he is actually helping his dad this weekend with the family business so he can make some money for himself. He has issues with taking it from me. I really miss everyone though but it was a nice "lazy" break.

Again Good Luck Alana!!
