Oh me too Alana! We deserve something good to happen to us both, we all do!

Last night I started writing a letter to my nasty family, the language was beyond foul, I think I'll throw it away today and try again when I'm not so upset. Family sucks though! LOL

hi ladies, i have a quick sec to check in on you! being back to work leaves me no time to post.

i am sorry everyone seems to be having a rough time right now. we all deserve our miracles, and we will get them! IF does suck and there are some days that it seems unbearable...but we get through it and come out stronger on the other side.

i'll be back on later tonight to catch up more and post more! have a good day.

I really feel for everyone and the struggles going on. I don't know how to put it into eloquent words though like Heidi. I definitely feel as though going through these struggles has made me a better mom. When I'm exhausted or frustrated, it just takes one look at Aiden to feel better and to think this is what we worked so hard for. I know if it was easy and I had gotten pregnant on that first month of trying I wouldn't appreciate him as much. Good things are to come for everyone around here. We just have so many wonderful souls to take care of!

April - In case I miss you tonight, please have an easy surgery and recovery. I just had the 24 hour pain pump with the c-section and it was lovely. I never hit the button but it was great to hear that constant dispensing. Have Mel let us know that everything is ok.

Pack to cleaning over here... I might have to resort to my first cup of coffee in over a year today...

April-

I am pretty sure that I read once before Nicole Kidman has both male and female reproductive organs?? I know that it was said years ago that there was no way she could get pregnant. That being said, I am wanting to say that she used some sort of ART to conceive.
I know Halle had also been trying for a while, so i am not sure. I am going to google it now and let you know!
I am really praying for you for tomorrow's surgery. Oh and RONNI- I have had a pain pump before(PCA) and it's glorious! You would love it!

Alana- I had to laugh at your post, "the painter is upstairs "banging away again"...!!!! That was hysterical. I think i found an inuendo in every sentence!

martie my gas comes out without a seconds notice, it ususally does not make sounds or gurgles in my stomach so i might be able to tell when my baby moves! How soon can you feel it?
Alana- I am not sure if those are eyes. I could not tell head from rump! RE and DH were talking all medical, "and this is the cerebral blah blah"...

Ronni..My surgery is scheduled for 800am CA time. Which is a bummer cause that means I have to be there really early..but is also good cause I won't be starving..can't eat anything after midnight! I just asked Mel if she would post my updates and she said "um, how do I do it?" I will get her familiarized with the high tech process of posting on here. I mean, she can fly plane, I think she can figure this out. And if the hospital has wireless and I am up to it, I will just come on here myself..maybe we can do the chat thingy.

Susan at my last ob appointment (last wed) the dr said "sometime in the next 3 weeks. The books I read said between 16 and 20 weeks. So basically any day now.

April I hope your surgery goes well tomorrow. I had a pain pump for several days (I think it was 4) after my ectopic it was lovely. But I slept alot.

Alana and Shawna- I know I am pregnant now but I have in the past 4 years felt every bit as upset as the two of you have I hope 2008 is the big year for everyone here!! big hugs!!

Okay, I'm back after having a nice long chat with painter boy. *sigh*...he is quite dreamy. (its funny, hes not that young, probably early forties, so I guess I have a George Clooney thing going on here!) Anyway, it turns out hes done a few commercials in the past so I hope his acting career takes off...then I can say I knew him.

Anyway, thanks girls for all the kind words. Martie, back to you hun. I know all you girls understand where we are coming from, I guess there are just days where it feels harder than others. Hormones probably have a wee bit to do with it!

Wow...yay for Robin and her big bundle of joy. How exciting...I wonder who on the Jan due dates will be next?

you know susan I do not like the fact that they say she is pregnant with her first child since she adopted two, this is not really her first child. Perhaps they could say she was pregnant for the 1st time or something to that effect. It just makes it sound like the two adopted children mean nothing.

Susan..thanks for posting the article. Sound like they had been trying a while.

Sounds like it's been a busy day over on the Jan. due date thread! I am so happy for them!
Thanks ladies for all your kind words..It makes me feel better about tomorrow. I don't know why, but I am really nervous about this one. Oh well, give me the good stuff and put me to sleep!
