Evening ladies!!

Kelly- I know you wanted a reason but normal is better, I know it is! I am praying and hoping for you always for your FET!! Have you a Vegas magnet? How about Hawaii?

April- We bought a good doppler from EBay for $160. (Those BRU ones suck arse! You can't hear squat with them even at 30 weeks I've read. FYI) Renting seemed too expensive, I have used mine enough to warrant the $160 bucks plus we do plan to have more pregnancies. Anyways, at about 10 weeks with a full bladder we could hear the babies, now I have no problem finding their little tickers and it has totally kept me sane(er). Lol. I payed close attention to where they were wanding me for the ultra sound and I know exactly where to go to find those two.

I can't believe my birthday was last friday, it seemed like just another depressing day of the week. So guess who ate all alone for supper tonight? Who spent the whole day alone crying because of the silly cat and his issues? Who cried over something my SIL said to me about her now wanting to have twins? Who is a nutcase and needs serious medical intervention? Oh yeah, you guessed it...some other chick down the road...ha! I wish! it's me, It's ME! DH has been gone all day then his brother calls him and tells him he has to come into work and will work until 12 tonight. Nice! *sigh* Oh and we still don't have my jeep back yet....GRRRRR!!! Spending money on something that sits in the freakin shop! Ok gotta go feed the cats but ya know Im coming right back!!

It does suck to have a chronic illness. I give you a lot of props for handling yourself so well. Sometimes I just break down...hence the prozac.

Believe me, I break down A LOT. As you know, I used to be on prozac and have needed it badly for the past 2 years. everyone in my life would have been happier - mostly my dh and students. I think there's no problem in getting the help you need, whatever the cure (well, almost whatever!).

[Ladybuglee]

Shawna - I wish we all lived closer so we could take you out and cheer you up! You need some female intervention of the forum kind! I know how hard it is for you to be there, away from family and friends. Sending you huge, huge hugs, sweetie.

[Angelwithhope]

Looks like I could use some freakin prozac!! If it weren't for Monkey and Boo I'd probably be sitting here totally ****ake faced I swear! I hate to complain so much, I'm sorry ladies!!! But I really appreciate having you all here for me! You're the only ones besides DH who really made my birthday last week!

[Angelwithhope]

Aww my sad depressed Eeyore self chased everyone away. Nice Shawna! Way to go!

[ara79]

shawna, i am sorry you are having such a hard time right now. do you think if you had less "down time" it would help? i like the idea someone had about starting a project. or i think i mentioned before trying to find a twin mommy group? i hope you start to feel better.

[Angelwithhope]

I almost got a job today but had to say I couldn't cause I'd need to go on mat leave before I'd even get started really. They need a service writer at our local Dodge dealership. I LOVE that kind of work but alas...if I weren't pregnant, I'd have jumped all over that one!

[JustPeachy]

Kelly - Woo hoo for all good news!!! I think the FET sounds wonderful. It is so much less stressful on your body which seems ideal right now. The time will go quickly. There have been so many great stories from FETs. And, even those women who have m/c, those were all situations where they most likely didn't even get preggo from a fresh cycle and at least the FET worked. I don't think the freezing process would have any effect on whether those blasts have the correct number of chromosomes to begin with to continue replicating.

Shawna - I say tomorrow is THE day for the scrapbook project. You gotta just focus on some happy stuff right now and take one baby step at a time!

Liza - You are such a great cheerleader around here. I can't wait for your cycle so we can all cheer for you too. As always, your mommy comments to me have a special place in my heart. Thanks friend. Just don't torment me with yummy food stories on thursday on your off day ok?

April - I got my doppler from babybeat too and absolutely loved it. I agree that it got much easier to find come the 2nd trimester and definitely read the directions first and listen to the cd (unlike dummy me). I can't tell you how many times that doppler literally saved my sanity when I was constantly bleeding and on bedrest.

Jennie - Just surviving as a mom is more than enough to keep me busy these days too. I'll tell ya I couldn't even envision another baby yet. G-d bless those people that get pregnant one right after another but I would be locked up in a mental institute! How is Ethan feeling? Are the reflux meds helping? Did the cough and cold go away? I know you are still waiting on those teeth!

Martie - Are you doing any solids yet? I can't remember now.

Gotta download some pics and I'll be back. Aiden had organic spaghetti Os for the first time tonight and gobbled them up! Then I gave him frozen figs to knaw on for his gums. I have never seen him so happy with a meal. He was completely silent. DH and I were laughing. Actually, dh wanted to videotape it to remember the silent meal occasion!

[AviatrixRN]

Shawna..We are here for you! So technically you are not alone! Well, you know what I mean..lol. Sorry you are down right now..wish I could come over there and make you laugh right now.

[Angelwithhope]

Rach- those spaghetti-os sound soooo good!!

Thanks ladies, I'd be a wreck without y'all. I'm hoping the weekend away this weekend will be a fun one. It is one that I definately need! lol

[GRITS]

Shawna

Kelly, good news! FETs are so much easier. Mia is a result of one. I m/c with the fresh cycle.

[jencat215]

Shawna- I too wish you lived closer. Maybe you are too isolated out there.

Um, so tonight my nips were pretty itchy and I looked down and there were tiny drops of clear stuff coming out of them! WTF? Do I need to worry about wearing breast pads? What is going on?

Rach-I keep meaning to ask you for help on my BRU registry. What do I need?

[JustPeachy]

Jen - Have you started a registry yet? I'm more than happy to look it over. Let me know where you are in the process. BRU will give you a completion coupon for 10% off anything on your registry after your due date so put lots of stuff on there and then change the due date after your shower so you get your coupon earlier. I know... I'm bad!

Shawna - No one deserted you. We had another round of presidential debates on tv tonight here in the US.

Here are some pics from today. The first one is actually from the jazz fest but I had to brag to Tia about how much Aiden loves his stroller (so she gets a mutsy too!) and he looks so happy in this pic. As you'll see, Aiden's tongue is playing with his new top teeth in every picture! All day long the tongue was out! Opps.. gonna take an extra post... I'm such a picture hog over here. Someone else post some more pics!

[JustPeachy]

one last pic....

[Angelwithhope]

Rach- I love the pics!! I love the first one especially of Aiden in his little hat!!!

I think I'm gonna go situate myself infront of the tv. Don't know if there's really anything worth watchign on tv, but it's worth a shot here. LOL.
