WANTANOTHER- i am so sorry that your roof is going to have to be replaced that sucks, and it sucks that joes grampa has to come down on those terms and not better ones, also the news of your neices loss is sad as well.... its always sad to hear when someone loses a baby especially since we are all mothers here....today is going to be interesting... i am trying to get errands done, and start the painting in alexa's room, but it is just soooo hot i don't feel like doing much at all! we still haven't taken alexa swimming, we have to get MIL's pool opened for the season but with the heat the way it is, no one wants to work on it... so we shall see how soon it gets done.... i can't wait to take her and see how she does!! Since she LOVES water!! well i gotta get her ready to leave and i gots lotsa stuff to do so hope everyone is having a good day! ↑
I understand the heat thing. We are on our way to the triple digits but humidity is something we don't have a lot of sometimes the dry heat can be just as bad. I have been in the humid heat as well. I prefer to stay in the ac. Good luck getting the pool ready. I think the extreme heat would be my motivator just to know there is some relief. I used to have an above ground pool but when I did daycare I got rid of it as I wasn't aloud to keep it from the county rules. well gotta go to work have a great day! ↑
WANTANOTHER, we had an inground pool and when we did foster care our county required we put up a 7 ft fence and chimes on all the entrances as well as locks... but at the house we just bought last year we DIDN"T want a pool, they are a LOT of time and work, and we figured since MIL has her own inground as well, we could just use hers... the problem is though is lately FIL has been having chest pains and they are worried the heat may make it worse (just like a man he refuses to go to the dr) so DH and i volunteered when the temp drops a little we will do it... I am in a good mood!! i just got outside in 105 degree heat with humidity lol and weeded my front flower garden.... i know that sounds crazy but the thing was bothering me...some grass was trying to over take it.... (DH says i have OCD when it comes to our yard, i cut our grass 2 to 3 times a week and am always checking on my flowers and veggies) I just like my house to look nice, we worked REALLY hard to get here in life so why not to the best you can to maintain it? thats my opinion.... but now it looks good... i also planted some fern in it so that when the summer is over the fern will hopefully take over during the winter (the fern we have doesn't allow grass in if that makes sense it smothers it so it can't get any sun) and the onions i planted the other day are already starting to sprout!! so YAY!!! Alexa is HATING the heat the poor thing...i drug her to Target today because we needed more diapers and wipes...and some kitty litter...and yesterday i took her to the mall and a few other places so she is trying now to catch up on all her missed naps... She has an ultrasound on her hip June 19th at 9:30am, and then an appt with a specialist on June 20th at 9:20am (i put the times cuz johnshopkins hospital is like 2 and a half hours from here...and then add to it that we will be traveling in rush hour traffic through baltimore. uggg....but it needs to get done!!! so i am glad i finally have that settled... well i am waiting on DH to get home not too sure what we are gonna do this evening prolly just lay around in the ac lol... though i may start painting one wall in alexa's room to see how it will look...then i will post a pic on my piczo...oh yeah and soon i will post new pics up when i get a chance to sit down and work on it....
QUESTION: FOR THOSE PLANNING ON HAVING MORE KIDS.... WHEN DO YOU PLAN TO START TRYING? The reason i ask...is because DH and i were talking about it and decided for me to stop taking BC and just see what happens... so we aren't "trying" but we aren't NOT trying...and i just wanted to know if anyone else was also starting out this soon??? alright ladies...ive got to also start on dinner so hope everyone is well...MARGIE, BUFFI, SOCUR AND ZEKE hope you guys are well!! ↑
ugh, i am sick with a cough and its soooo annoying. anjelica already went through it and it barely affected her...she has a stronger immune system than her momma does thats for sure! tish- i think im going to have to wait a while before having another just for financial reasons, we are super super tight right now and i cant even think of a solution, but as soon as i figure out a way for us to be more secure i want another one...so basically soon as possible but it all depends on situation. if you are secure financially and everything i think that seeing what happens would be ok....i also think i need some more time with my little princess first, i love spoiling her with all my attention and i know with the second baby things are going to be different. tish, also, i read about your brother in law and i would be sooo pissed too and im the type that i would still love him because its family but i would have a very hard time trusting him again...thats really messed up what he did and i wouldnt blame anyone for still being angry about that betrayal. my little brother was addicted to meth for years and it took a while to forgive him for some of the things he did during that time--abuse, stealing, terrible things. but in time he has shown he is truly sorry and i really believe he would never hurt anyone again and its the drugs. addiction is a very scary demon that posseses people and turns them into monsters, it seems like he needs serious rehab. uh oh i have another coughing fit so i have to go for now but i'll come back and finish my post later. have a good day ladies! ↑
MARIGE- i am so sorry you aren't feeling well.... i wish you well and health...(hmm that sounds funny but you know what i mean...) i am glad anjelica did well with it...its great that her immunities are sooo strong. i understand wanting to spoil her and give her all your attention, i want to do the same with Alexa....but i want her to have a friend to play with, i did foster care and all the "sets" of kids were happier than the singles.... they always had someone to play with.... so i want her to have that...and DH and i want 3 or 4 kids all close in age... we are pretty stable right now... but things do get harder the higher prices of everything goes up... damn gas prices... well i just wanted to say HI to ya since i saw you had responded....hope you feel better.... :) ↑
hey everyone...sorry i havent posted in a few days... the heat here has been unbearable.. and since i live on the third floor and thats where my computer is i have been avoiding being upstairs... we went from like 70's to 98* it's crazy... yesterday i think it went up to 103 and it was sooo humid too... i went to the beach saturday... my mom watched the baby for me because she didnt want to chance veronica gettin burned which is totally understandable...they took her to the old home day in my town instead... and i guess she was quite the attraction.. she always knows when to smile at people lol... it's gunna be hard sayin no to this one... anyway... i got a nice tan going on... sunday two of the giirls i used to work with who were pregnant too came over and we had a playdate with our lil ladies... ill have to put the pics up on piczo... but it was fun and they allwent swimmin... but back to the issue of the heat... veronica hates being hot... this is the little baby that only liked having one layer of clothes on and a blanket on in freezin weather... and im really not exagerating... so when this heat wave hit she's been dying... she just wants to be in the pool... we dont have any ac either.. at least not now... so in the morning when we wake up we go swimmin for like an hour... then play around she has her nap.... then i dont like to take her out in the middle of the day because it's too hot and i dont want her to burn... but honestly if i dont she gets sooo angry wit me... so i lap on the sunscreen get her lil hat on and we go in the pool... after that we play on the swings.. she takes her 2nd nap.... maybe... i dont know why but with the heat she doesnt like her naps... and then we go in the pool again and then do all of our night stuff... but lately she hasn;t wanted to go to bed either cause the heat... so it's a battle from like 7-9 to get her to sleep and she will only fall asleep in this one chair downstairs with my mom singing to her LOL... ahhh im gettin soo frustrated because she wont fall asleep for me ne more... well she will but its a battle... anyway this ones rolling around on the floor right now.... have a great day all ↑
SOCUR- I completely understand the heat and humidity issue... FINALLY our hot streak has broke... even at night the temp was still like 90 degrees and last night after a HUGE storm the temp dropped to 72 at 2am...(yes i was up my lil lady is now waking up 2 to 3 times a night) but last night as the storm was coming in dh wanted me to take her outside and show her the lightening and let her hear the thunder, that way she is used to it...and while we were out there i was holding her and everytime DH said anything to her she laughed like a hard loud long laugh...he wasn't being funny or anything he was just asking her did she hear the thunder or see the lightening...she did it for like 15 straight minutes-everytime she heard his voice she would laugh and laugh...it was so cute and contagious because then all we could do was laugh....I am really scared of her getting into the sun since i have super sensative skin, and burn easily but we do put sunscreen on her everyday even if we don't know if we are going out just in case... I just can't handle staying cooped up in the house all day, i have to get out...and it helps wear her out...she LOVES to ppl watch!!! So i try to take her to a store at least every other day, I took her to target yesterday and today i am trying to figure out what to do today, since we went to the mall on monday...well she is calling me so i will finish this later ↑
Oh..I'm jealous of everyone's pool stories. We just have the little 2 ring blow up pool for the back yard. The city pool (we just have one) is being remodeled. What is it with construction planning. Who remodels the pool starting at the beginning of summer. They haven't said when it will reopen - but it will be at least another month. While it hasn't been nearly that hot here. It's been uncomfortable for us too. DH hasn't put the screens back on the house yet because he's not done painting the trim so we cannot open any of the windows. Tish, since I nursed dd for a year, I decided I didn't want to take any birth control. It took us 4 mos to get pregnant the first time, so I thought it would take us a little while the 2nd time around. We decided when/if it happened it'd be okay. The first time we didn't use any protection - I got pregnant with Bobby. They are 19 mos apart and I don't regret it at all. I'm sure it doesn't happen the first time for everyone. Are you still nursing (have you gotten af back)? Even though I was nursing dd I started back with regular cycles by 4mos. The dr laughed at me when I went for my first prenatal visit with bobby. I told her I didn't think it would happen so fast. Usually the first is the hardest to conceive, your body just remembers what to do after that. But anyway - so dd was 10mos when I got preg again, and I'd do it that way again if we were going to have more children. ↑
ZEKE- believe it or not but when Alexa was 2 months i got AF back, and right on track of my regular 28 day cycle... HOWEVER i am having my endo pain again... which i didn't expect... if you don't know the story i will give you the shortest version.... had endo since 15 years old...terrible crippling pain...when it started to really affect me at work (i began passing out from the pain at work and being rushed to the hospital once or twice a month) we decided it was time to get the surgery... 6 days after the surgery i concieved Alexa after like 5years of trying... (meaning no BC no condoms and off and on timing ang temping) so now i am afraid i may be developing my endo again...and dr says she is watching closely because she knows i KNOW what the pain feels like to know it is coming back. I am ify about it...does that make sense...i would LOVE another... but at the same time i am fearful it may be too soon, I personally know i wouldn't take away from alexa's mommy time, but i dont want others to look past her to see the New baby...does that make sense ??? ppl are always drawn to small babies and i am afraid ppl might go around her to see a tiny baby and then she will resent her younger sibling...i know DH and i wouldn't do that but you can't control others.... right now Alexa gets EVERYONE's attention...she is spoiled silly by her family...well my lil miss is calling again, i am still trying to decide what to do today lol and its already 12:10pm lol ↑
oh i forgot to add, yes i still BF alexa, she eats solids and cereal but she BF as well, it just seems after she BF that she is still hungry that is why i give her the other food... but the dr says she is a good weight and very healthy!! she was 14lb15oz when i took her in over the RSV scare... she was due to get her ears pierced on the 19th of this month, but now her ultrasound is that day so i have to reschedule her 6 month exam...uggg sooo much to do!!! ↑
Tish, unfortunately I don't think there's anything you can do about the issue with people looking around your older baby to see a younger one. I think that'll happen no matter how far apart in age they are. You'd need twins to get around that issue. :-) ↑
TISH my kids re 2 and 3 and 13 years apart. I will be activly ttc again in 2 months. I am going to be 37 in July so I dont feel time is on my side. I understand with your issue why you would want to now. I'm a little nervous about having 2 so close but in the long run I know it's the right decision. It's not easy anytime you add another but you will do it and it will be ok! ↑
Ok sorry I had to post and run there but I needed to get Joseph to sleep. Margie so sorry you aren't feeling well i have had allergies real bad and was taking extra antihistamines to deal with it. They are getting better. Zeke I don't even have a blow up pool now so I will have to take kids to the city pool as well. My niece and nephew will be here in a week and a half and I really want them to enjoy being here. My brother is kind af a jerk. He is a thief (served his time) but more than that he never thinks about anyone but himself. He made a comment once that he had to do what he had to do for his family no matter who it hurt. (speaking of screwing my mom who took a loan for them to buy a computer) He lived with my family for 4 months and my oldest just despises him now. I don't know what happend. NE way he wanted to stay here 1 time a few years ago and I said no because my son wouldn't stay here if he was here I told him to make things right with him and it wouldn't be an issue. (gotta do whats right for my family) He hasn't spoken to me in about 4 years now. So I think it's funny that I will have his kids for a week because he supposedly forgot what week they were comming. He lives in Sdakota his kids live in Vegas. so they bring the kids to Colorado to switch for their custody issues. So we all have bad apples in our familys we just have to find ways to deal or help. My brother still hasn't acknowledged Joseph. I send him pictures every time we have them done though. Ok enough rambling talk with you all soon! ↑
WANTANOTHER- thank you sooo much for sharing that...it helps to know that i am not in the boat with those issues alone....reminds me to say that my mother hasnt seen alexa since she was 2 months old...and she shows NO interest in giving up the alcohol to see her...so.... anyway... oh update on the BIL thing....he still isn't in Maryland, he keeps saying the bus he needs doesn't leave till the 16th -which is a load of BS since i looked up the bus schedules for his area and they leave everyday headed this way...so something fishy is going on.... I have to go pick up alexas xrays today to take to Johns Hopkins....it will be a LONG weekend that week...thursday and friday we have to drive to Johns Hopkins... then Saturday i have to prepare for DH bday party that night with all his friends... Then Sunday-we are preparing a family party for him and then Monday trying to clean up from it all..phew...it will be a LONG weekend i am sure by tuesday i will just wanna sleep lol....BUFFI see thats what i figured...and that scares me... Alexa is my lil princess and I don't want her to feel any neglect (we wouldn't do that to her) but i mean from others when they go around her to see the baby...i can just see myself saying something to ANYONE who would do it...just so they notice her too...WANTANOTHER i am just slow this morning... so you have how many kids? there isn't a big difference once you've had 2 to go to 3 or more right?? thats what i am hoping....i want a big family.... i mean right now Alexa takes up a lot of my time, but i am sure that it will get easier eventually once i can truly get into a routine and such.... not saying it will be a breeze...just saying it will get a lil more organized... I wouldn't say we are "actively" ttc, but since i talked to DH that i was ready for another and that we agreed for me to come off BC he seems to be "actively" trying LOL.... which seems odd to me because he always said he wanted to wait until she was at least 2 or older to try and now its like his entire view is different....maybe i did truly get through to him when i told him he wasn't getting any younger...lol... well i gotta run...have a good day ladies... ↑
OHHH forgot to add something to that long weekend... ready for this one?? DH's b-day is June 22, his littlest brothers is the 19th and his best friends is the 19th as well.... since we will be at johnshopkins on the 19th we are trying to plan a party for his lil brother (who will be 12!) and then trying to make it to his bestfriends party being thrown by his fiance... YIKES soo much going on this month...also Johns Hopkins is about 2 and a half hours from here...(when there is NO traffic) and we have both appt right during Rush hour... in the MIDDLE of baltimore!! lol its gonna be a crazy long weekend.... sorry just saw i forgot to mention those things ↑
TISH - good luck with the dr appts. My two are 19mos apart - and I didn't really notice Emma getting passed over for the baby. She was an early talker and is pretty silly sometimes so I think that might have helped. I saw your other post too, but I'll answer it here. For me the morning sickness was better the second time around. Which was good, because I didn't function well the whole first trimester with Emma. The hardest part for me was getting Emma dressed in the last trimester. I thought it was hard putting my socks and shoes on lol. I think I spent more time on the ground (getting emma dressed) and it was hard for me to get down/up with my big belly. I didn't mind carrying Emma around - you just have to figure out some creative holds when your belly gets so big. Whoever said in the other post if you have a hard time with 1 (after they're born) then you'll have a hard time with 2 - is pretty much right. I have really enjoyed mine being so close together. They actually are wearing the same size diaper right now - crazy. ↑
Hi tish, thanks for ur quick reply to my baby food question. I do read this forum when I get a chance, but from now on I ll be regularly visiting this site.
My dd was born 14th dec...she is my first...after many yrs of TTC.....
hi margie, zeke, socurbbay,wantanotheraftertr, buffi.... ↑
ZEKE LOL that must help that they wear the same size!! my SIL lil boy wore the same size as alex and they are like 3 months apart...and her son had just been born!! I AM HIGHLY DISGUSTED THOUGH i went to get the xrays...and they gave me an attached note from the Dr that examined the xrays and HE recommended that we get and ultrasound done....HOWEVER my Dr, NEVER told me this....he said her xrays were fine and she was ok...then at her next appt he was like oh the click is still there you need an ultrasound WHY DIDNT HE TELL ME THAT THE FIRST TIME??!! all of this could have been taken care of by now!!! so at her 6 month appt which has now been pushed to july 3rd i plan to take the letter to him and ask him about it.... if he doens't have a good answer i will be switching dr's because this is NOT something i think should be played around with...they have already said if not fixed it will mess up her ability to walk and will cause her pain later in life....if i can fix it then why not??!! it wouldn't matter a bit to me either if i had to pay the entire bill I would do it just to make sure she has the best possible life i can offer...uggg im just sooo pissed.... and i mentioned to MIL about DH's party (which is a party of his friends NOT family) and now shes all like what we weren't invited ?? and when i tried to explain that it was a party for his friends and that we were doing the family party on sunday she acted like i was being mean...ugggg im not in the mood..... ↑
OMG i feel awful!! i made that post, even mentioned my SIL, but still it slipped my mind... Last night was her graduation ceremony and she was the speaker for it...and yet i spaced...and DH reminded me at the last minute so we quickly got into the car and left....well needless to say we walked in right as she was sitting down from saying her speech...i nearly cried .... ( i love my SIL a lot, we were friends LONG before we ever became family) i am so proud of her... she has struggled through soo much and she is straightening everything out.... (shes the one with a 3 yr old by her hubby a 2 yr old by another guy and a 4 month son by her hubby) well both guys were there....they try to be civil for the kids sake...(and the "other" guy loves her dearly he always has...) so anyways to my point, i was saying to someone there that Alexa had gotten big, that she was 15lbs and it was crazy how she felt so heavy...and then i said something like shes a big girl...and the other guy - (who i DONT like of course i don't like her DH either but anyway) comes out of no where...(wasn't in the convo) and arrogantly says to me well if thats what you think of her i would hate to know what you think of my daughter...(his dd is a BIG girl...but she is also 2, but very very over wieght...she weighs more than her 3 yr old sister...) i got so disgusted becuase his dd is one of my god daughters and if he had been there when she was younger he would KNOW i love that lil girl as if she were my own...so his snide comment pissed me off... anyway...alexa was good during the ceremony!! she freaked out over the clapping...but she didn't cry or fuss she just looked around at everyone...lol. she LOVES to ppl watch! well if you didnt see the post, i tried target brand diapers last night...and they leaked so i am thouroughly irritated... thankfully i bought a small bag, and still have my big case of pampers.... well just thought i'd check in since i was up early... hope you ladies have a great day!!! ohhhh the weekend is here!! :) ↑
Ok so I have 4 kids now including Joseph. we will be actively TTC again in 2 months. I wasn't ready for the empty nest syndrome and neither was DH. Tish I am so sorry for the rude interuption of your conversation. I think some ppl are just looking for something to complain about. 15 lbs wow Joe is 18.8 lbs that was fully dressed last week. He is 6 months now as of Wed. but his Appt isn't till the 20th so will have better stats then. I would also be so upset with your dr. I think sometime they don't think anyone will call them on things. Good luck let me know what he says when you do call him. Welcome mommyindec can't wait to get to know you and your LO. Zeke I agree it isn't to bad having more than 1. I think even with 2 year between it took me some time to adjust to 2 kids but when I added my third it was a piece of cake. Of course with 4 now it's pretty easy as the older ones love to help out. Socur Buffi and Margie how are things with all of you ladies and the lO's. Have a good night all! ↑
mommyindec- sorry i didnt mention sooner i completely missed your post...my dd was born dec 18th! and just like you it was after MANY years... so she is our biggest blessing!! WANTANOTHER- wow i never realized that you had 4, and still have time for eveything else, you are a GREAT time manager...lol well on a sadder not MIL had emergency eye surgery yesterday, her retinia disattached from her eye, and she went blind...so they rushed her to the hospital to perform surgery...she didn't get home till late last night so i havent gotten to see her, however they sent me a pic of her this morning and man she looks terrible she looks like she is miserable..so i am PRAYING that it all goes well....she had to go back this morning so they could check it...so i think once she gets back we may head over there... well my lil one is up and fussy so... i will add more later.... ↑
OMG the drama.... phew...ready for this, ok SIL is pressing sexual harrasement charges against her DH neices' BF since he touches all over her...well the neice decided yesterday that she was filing false charges against SIL's 2nd dd dad, and an all out war developed in the house with the lil 4 month old there, so SIL called me hysterical from work to go get him, and obviously i said absolutely he is my godson... but halfway there his dad called and said he was on his way home that it was ok i didn't have to go get him...so i went home, then the surgery with MIL's eye...and then this morning i get a text from my best friend telling me she and her BF are done...(she just had a miscarriage earlier this week) and when i asked her what happened she told me that he hit her thursday night.... and then again this morning! she says she doesn't remember what they were fighting about but when she made a comment that he wasnt over another girl (who was my best friend all through highschool and was killed in a car wreck 3 months before she graduated) he hit her...and then this morning he hit her again and told her to get out...i offered to go get her and help her but she said her dad is helping her out.... but man its a crazy weekend...SIL is moving out of her house with DH and his family (his mom and his nieces and nephews) and into MIL house, while MIL is on 8 weeks bed rest due to the surgery....and now my BFF is moving in with her dad who is also bed ridden due to a callapsed ventrical in his heart... i feel so horrible for all of them i don't know who to go to first.... MIL is my first thought but i dont think she wants company since she feels so bad, then my BFF because NO WOMAN deserves to be hit...but she is so stressed she can't see straight and SIL who is trying desperatly to pack and get out while her asshole DH makes it harder for her....UGGGGGGG and this wa supposed to be my calm weekend before next weekend....i remember when i was younger and thought my problems then were big, damn i had no idea what adulthood entailed....ahh to go back to the stress of a pop quiz or something minuet like that.... sorry ladies i just had to get it all out... hope everyone else is dealing with much less stress. SOCUR- how is victoria liking the swimming? we still havent opened the pool so i dont know how alexa will do...everything is now on hold.... MARGIE- i posted one someones thread about the belly beats and asked that they give your number....i really hope that works for you!! i understand the tight on money thing....damn gas prices are rising the price of EVERYTHING...ZEKE & BUFFI hope everything is going great!!!! WANTANOTHER- i already posted but you really are an inspiration...since i would LOVE to have 4 kids...(i actually want more like 5 or so but DH wants less) but he has said he will be happy with whatever we are given...alright gotta go , my lil girl is awake and ready to PLAY...ahhh i love that she is learning so muchlast night she was playing with DH and noticed that i wasn't paying attention to her since he was, and she kept saying mom mom mom....it was soo cute, and now i swear she is trying to say bippy she looks at it and says baa baa....we are trying sooo hard to get her to say dada she has the rolling around thing down pat and last night she sat for 45 seconds un assisted and she throws her arms up for me to pick her up out of bed or her walker and she leans and throws her arms out when she wants to switch who is holding her, its soooo great!!!! right now she is in my arms playing with my mom necklace lol she always have LOVED to pull it ↑
Tish so sorry to hear how you weekend is going. Sounds very stressfull. I have an issue as well. My DD is 17 and has a friend whos mom seems to be losing it. she has 3 kids and had kicked them all out including a 5 year old. I will find out tonight where she took him. This girl goes to school in a different town and workes there. My DD wants us to take her in but I don't know her very well and am worried with having a baby in the house. I don't want my DD to have to cart this girl around with gas prices the way they are. I also don't know where this girl can go. There are so many things that just won't work for us to keep her. How can I help this kid? If she had a car it would be easier, but I also don't want her alone in the house if she lives here. UGHH what to do? I know she can't stay here! Anyway on the lighter side wow Tish Joseph isn't talking yet. He is sitting up on his own and doing the army crawl and reaching for us thats my favorite and the hugs that follow! I am trying to teach him sign language just a few words at a time we are starting with mama dada milk and eat. Are any of you trying sign language? I got a sign language for dummies book at barnes and noble. We celebrated my DD Tiffanys 14 b-day yesterday it was her golden b-day. and of course fathers day today. Hope all you DH and BF had a great day! Will post more later! ↑
WANTANOTHER- things are getting better it just sucked that it all hit at once...that is what bugged me the most...and well i have been going to MIL house to pretty much do everything for her so she will stay laying down...shes so stubborn...everything else will work itself out so... on to your issue...that is a hard one...on one hand your dd really really prolly wants you to help this girl...and on the other you don't KNOW the whole story...you are only getting one half.... so that is risky in its own....i would say this girl needs help yes...however you might not wanna put yourself out there like that... i know that seems mean but i don't think i could do it..and how will you PREVENT her from being in your house alone...i mean it will get hard to make sure of after a while..and then having to taxi her around as well...and the added expense of another child in your home.... sorry those are all the things i think of... so i would say she should seek social services help... expecially for the little one who is 5 i mean come on...why kick a 5 year old out? that makes no sense... i think maybe you might wanna make the call and let social services know what is going on and they can help the kids and try to get the mother help i wish i could help more but i am all crampy tonite and in pain so i can't think striaght... ↑

oh my gosh tish! i'll tell ya something about life--sometimes when it rains it POURS, that saying is so true. a few years back my life was BIG TIME like that, i mean, crazy crazy crazy!! im so sorry, that kind of overwhelming stress can take a toll so try your best to take it easy when its possible. aww, thats so cute that she is still saying mamama! angel has stopped saying mama and it kind of has be worried because arent babies supposed to start saying more? not just like forget that they can say something? she hasnt said it now for at least a week and im not sure why? i actually cried about it last night...ugh, pms makes me much too emotional, its like being pregnant all over again for a few days, lol. my dad had laser surgery on his eyes for macular degeneration and it worked well but the retina hadn't actually detached it was just wearing down and he almost went blind, thats really scary..i pray that she has a great recovery and can see her beautiful little granddaughter again soon!
socur baby, i feel really bad for you with the ex's gf situation, i have been through that drama with my ex and his ex gf. Looking back I realize what an a-hole he was with her and even if he didnt like her anymore i am disgusted at how he didnt have anything to do with their daughter and denied her for years, he is very selfish though, he kicked her out and made her fly back home to georgia from california when he found out she was pregnant, then he broke up with me the same day i told him that my dad was in a coma and was going to die. point is..i wouldnt assume that hes being all that great with her, and the new gf might be jealous of you because he's treating her like shit and shes worried that he'll want to get back together with you. i hope that he's being good to little veronica! thats the most important thing is that he is good to his kids and it wouldnt hurt if he can be good to the mother of both his children too! wantanotheraftertr- i want to have a big family too! my mom had 5 kids and then 10 years later i came around and then she had my brother..7 all together but my and my little brother are a LOT younger than the rest, my sister Jeannie was the youngest before me and she was 10 when i was born. i always would say that i had four moms growing up! my mom and my 3 sisters, hehe. i want to have four i think. i would say five but im just starting and im already 30! so i dont think its even biologically possible. oh and about that girl, i totally agree with tish because you dont know the whole situation, and teenagers have been known to create their own dramas, but if its true they need help but dont they have some family they can go to? it just doesnt make sense...mommyindec-arya is a beautiful name! my dd has 6 oz bottles with a couple tbsp of rice cereal in them about 4 times a day and then a meal around dinner with rice cereal and some other fruit/veggie, about half a jar so far. she's a big girl though, very long for her age, i was standing her up to a one year old and i dont know if it was a small one year old, but she was almost as tall! she has to go for her 6 month visit sometime soon, i have to make the appt today and then i'll update everyone with her height/weight. ↑
oh wow..i just reread what i wrote and its FULL of typos...sorry everyone, hope that you can interpret what im saying, lol...i wish we had an edit button on here!!! ↑
uh-oh well once again i missed my girlie appt again, i went to MIL house to check on her and make sure she was ok, and forgot about it until it was too late.... i took alexa over there with me since dh is working overnights this week he stayed home and slept...well when her crazy weird neightbor stopped by, i left she just irks me...and i am not in a good mood right now so i didn't wanna deal with it....i haven't talked to SIL in 2 days so i have NO idea what is going on there.... and i have talked to my BFF everyday and she is doing ok right now she is going through the anger stage, so we shall see what happens there... well other than that there is nothing else to talk about, i can deal with a less stressful day to say the least... talk to you later ladies...MARGIE, i responded in your post about anjelica... and i love the name ARYA it is so pretty, SOCUR i will check up on your piczo as soon as i get on mine...i need to update it...i have just not felt up to getting into it lol.... WANTANOTHER- it always seems when one thing hits everything else falls down with it... well gotta run i hear a lil girl fussing... ↑
Well we took her in! Her mom made her take everything out of the house and told her not to come back. We had a long talk with her and made our rules clear and told her school comes first when it gets going again. So we'll see how it goes. As far as Joseph he is a little busy body now I can't keep him in one place anymore. He gets into everything. He is getting so fast with the army crawl. Still not saying anything yet but he is very physical advancing. He sits by himself very well now too. He eats 4 oz bottles every 3 hours and eats cereal and fruit at his first feeding then again at his third he gets 2nd stage food and again at the 5th he has taken 4 oz since he was 6 weeks old every 3 hours gotta go hes fussing I think more teeth! chat with you all later ↑
