Hey everyone - here's to the next stage!


Sprinkles - June 23rd, 2009 2:48 PM

Here I am!


DDT - June 23rd, 2009 11:52 PM

Oh lord, does this mean I have TWO toddlers!! God help me...

Nothing new to report. Jaxon is walking around with ease now. Started babbling a lot. Said, "dog" while pointing to our dog so I guess that counts as his 2nd word. Mama was his first. I think he says Caden to but can't be 100% sure.

We are having showings every evening now. I'm happy about it but really tired to. I work all day, get home and have to deal with cleaning and kids, leave, come back and then rush to get dinner and a bath in before bed time. I am getting sick to. Feeling very flu-ish. Also a little stressed because I am 15 days for AF. I have a HPT laying in the bathroom drawer. We haven't done the deed in what seems forever so if I am pregnant it's probably by miraculous conception. BUT it was the same way with Jaxon to. We both thought, "How did that happen!!"

I am going to one of my good friend's wedding this weekend. Then next Wed heading off to the Island to visit the Grandma for the long weekend.


fefer1 - June 24th, 2009 10:52 AM

uh-oh DDT! Pretty soon you could have 3 toddlers!! I felt that way a while ago - that I was sickish, tired etc and I even went as far as taking a test just to be sure. Safe!!! It would have been miraculous as well since Tim was Vasectomized :) last November. It only took once with both my kids - and I was pretty amazed - so it CAN happen when you think it can't. I bet you are just stressed with all that's going on - it can do that to you for sure. Before Rachel I had missed several periods - well, they were VERY late and things just weren't normal. I could not believe I was pregnant. My doctor thought I was nuts - but we had just gotten married, the pill I had BEEN on had made me react really weird for the short few months I was on it - so all that probably messed things up.

Yesterday Levi's diaper came off during his nap and lets just say there was poop smeared everywhere. I had to just drop him in the shower and hose him down - nasty! He was pissed too - hated the poopy crib, hated the shower. I'm pretty positive he's getting some new teeth too and he is super sensitive/clingy/crabby. My two year old is up and down in her moods too - one minute she's fine, the next minute everything has gone to hell. :) She's starting to get all girly sensitive -the slightest thing will set her off. ugh!!!

We're going to attempt a garage sale on Friday - that should be interesting with the kids. :)



fefer1 - June 24th, 2009 12:29 PM

GEEZ!! What next??? Now my Grandpa died -had a heart attack today. 86 years old. So sad. :(


Sprinkles - June 24th, 2009 3:31 PM

Aww I'm sorry to hear that heather! :( DDT u have to let us know when you do test what happens there .. I am 9 weeks today 3 more weeks then I am out of the first tri and maybe some of my late afternoon sickness will go away - but I can't really complain it isn't real bad like some women get it - Will be nice to eat when i am hungry and not be punished for it though - I go from full feeling to starving in an instant and then when I eat I feel so full and pukey for hours then poof starving again lol wtf .. STILL haven't gotten my medical from the state - she declined me by accident then i called her on it so she said ok i have to redo the whole thing it will take 2 more weeks .. that was a week after she declined me .. its like it is THEIR mistake and they cant even fix it fast so I can cancel with the clinic and go to a real doctor?! WTF .. ugh I am dreading going to that clinic and they make my appointments on tuesdays which is high risk day so its packed .. I am sure she did that cause I was high risk last pregnancy and she assumes I will be this time too YUK! anyway I fuking gained 5 lbs HOW I dont know .. but I feel like a fat slob .. im so pissed. NO ONE wants to rent to me and I have to find a place soon .. the realtor I work with is a friend of mine and I go through her cause she is a friend but I am last priority .. its like u do things out of loyalty and they dont do anything out of loyalty .. bullshit. I been waiting to hear on this one house I put an application thru gave them all these receipts showing I pay currently gave them a letter of recommendation pay stubs EVERYTHING and the guy is still not sure about me cause I have bad credit .. so because I have bad credit he doesnt believe my receipts or some shit and wants to see me in person .. so bad credit=criminal now .. I feel like telling them all to shove it up their asses and just stay crammed in this tiny ass house I have now. The man across the street wants to rent to me but his house is barely bigger then mine now .. Im so over this shit.
ugh ok well Im going for a nap ttyl!


fefer1 - June 24th, 2009 5:08 PM

aww dawn - you sound hormonal too. :) lol Something will turn up for you and that clinic - you HAVE to go to it?? What crap. Sorry you have to go through all that.
Yuck - I do NOT miss those sick days. You're bringing up bad memories! :) Glad you'll be out of it soon though, what a relief that will be!


Sprinkles - June 24th, 2009 7:10 PM

It may be in part hormones haha but a big part of it is who I am - I never been one to have alot of patience and I hate feeling jerked around and that is what those people are doing with the house situation .. I think typically I would bite my tongue a lil more but thanks to pregnancy I don't seem to be doing that too much lately haha it's like the anger gets to me plus the queasy feeling and I just let it out - I feel too gross to hold it in lol ! Now when it comes to violet (and new babies) dad I am DEFINITELY pregnancy hormonal on him i have insane mood swings one minute I talk to him the next minute I am thinking of everything about him I dislike and I feel like wringing his neck .. we aren't even together and EVERY single thing he does just eats at me LOL that is NOT normal for me .. yeah a few more weeks and hopefully it subsides .. hopefully haha



gabby509 - June 29th, 2009 9:42 AM

Hi Everyone!!! I haven't come on here in ages but I thought I'd pop in and say hi. It's just not the same on FB. We can't really talk babies and pregnancy and blah blah blah. So I hope everyone and their babes are doing well. We are doing pretty good. I just hit the 3rd tri mark on Saturday so now I'm 27 weeks and feeling ok. I feel huge and am having lots of hip and groin pain but that's pretty much it so far. Morning sickness stopped at 18 weeks so that was a relief. We are on an intense home search. We put an offer in last week adn are waiting to hear back from the bank if it was accepted (it's a short sale/foreclosure). Hopefully we'll ge that and can move within 30-60 days. If so we will be in there before the baby is born, God willing. Other than that King is doing great. He's weighing in at 24.9 lbs and is 29.5 inches tall. He's been walking since 11 months and is now into everything!! I think that's pretty much it for now. Ok well I'm gonna try to pop in here more often, I have my reasons why it's not all the time and I think most of you know why, haha. TTYL girlies! Oh and Congrats to Heather on her baby girl.


fefer1 - June 30th, 2009 12:36 AM

He's only 29.5" Gabby?? I'm amazed! Levi was 25 pounds and 31" and I thought he was short! Guess not! From the pictures King looks so big to me - it must be all the hair. haha oh wait, he has no hair now!

Levi is still not walking but he's starting to forget to hold onto things when standing. Today he was climbing our plastic slide and got half way up, pushed himself to standing and let go. Standing on the slide! Of all places, silly boy! It about gave me a heart attack - all of a sudden he was upright and I was afraid he'd fall backwards. He likes to climb up the slide and then let go and slide backwards on his belly. I can't believe he can climb it! He watches his sister and has to do what she does. Now I have to totally watch him..pretty soon he'll be on the couch. He has these little kid chairs that he's discovered how to climb up on - one of them is next to the TV/Stand and he tries to climb up onto the stand. Yeah, not a good idea. He even climbs out of the tub if you let him.

No talking either - just babbles and screams - he loves the high pitch screaming. ugh...

He still isn't fond of the tub - he wants to stand up when he's in there or try to climb out. It takes a while to get him to sit down and STAY down. The other day I about died - he slipped while sitting and went under. That moment he was under my heart about stopped - it happens sooo fast!!! I totally see why you NEVER leave them for a second. That's all it takes. Even with my super speedy mother reflexes, it felt like he was under forever. Scary...

DDT - any news?? House, baby?? I still think you're really brave for camping with your two kids. I really want to try it but...I'm not sure I want the headache. We're heading to our cabin NEXt weekend, no indoor bathroom just an outhouse, and Tim will be gone during the day jeeping while I hang out with the kids...alone. Our annual trip but I dread it with kids this age. One crawling, one running away from me. :) My grandma might pick me up and drive me to town where my OTHER grandma lives, the one who's husband just died. We might hang out with her during the day so she's not lonely and I'm not bored!
You know, it's weird how easily you forget about breastfeeding - I was just thinking how it's only been a couple of weeks but I can't remember what it's like! :)


gabby509 - June 30th, 2009 9:13 AM

Yeah Fefer, King is pretty short, haha. He is in the 40th percentile for height and I think 85th for weight. My doc said it's because me and Fred are kind of short, I'm 5 foot 1 and Fred is 5 foot 10. I just measured King here myself though and I got 30 inches, so who knows. So King is sick today. He had a low grade fever last night and then woke up at 4:30 this morning with a 101 fever. He's barely eating and super cranky. Hopefully this won't last too long and will not get to me and Fred. Oh and Fefer, King hates the bathtub. He went under for a split second about a month ago and he has never gotten over it. He stands the entire time and also tries to climb out of the tub. I have actually started just getting in the tub with him so he will calm down and I can wash him. Fred was like why is your bathing suit hanging in the bathroom like everyday, haha. It's my only solution right now, but the bigger I get the harder it gets.


fefer1 - June 30th, 2009 12:17 PM

Well I'm 5'3 and Tim is 5'10 - and his son is 6'3! YOu really never know. :) Rachel was 32" at 2 years old. Makes me laugh at how big Levi is - or maybe he's normal and she's just tiny.

I hope King feels better, poor baby. I hate it when they are sick like that.

So Levi got a sand box for his birthday - it's the kind that's like a table. I got it so he wouldn't be sitting in it all the time. well, he discovered how to climb into it so now him and his sister sit in it and get sand all over their clothes and in their diapers. :)

ahhh....so you know how I've had a bad week with deaths, well my uncle had a massive heart attack Sunday night and had surgery - I just found out last night. He's alive and well but still, what a crap week for my families. Geesh!!! June is going out with a bang...


Sprinkles - July 1st, 2009 2:06 PM

Hi girls! Sorry I been MIA a little seems when I log on everyday nothing happens then when I disappear there are a bunch of posts .. is it me .. (smells pits) Do I smell? haha
Well .. Not much new here with violet she walks a few steps then plops on her butt - she is practicing I guess she dances her lil tush off though anytime any music is on she gets to twisting and flailing her arms around lol so funny! I am 10 weeks as of yesterday .. went by a lil fast 2 more weeks and the 1st tri is history ..scary cause i am in no rush here. I am also not sure if it is hormones or if it is just where I am but I hate her dad .. every SINGLE thing he says and does crawls under my skin and makes me want to strangle him. I felt this way before that is why I broke up with him but now I am preggo I really want to strangle him - every so often he tries to assert himself and it makes me jump all over him til he backs off totally and crawls back under his rock .. like I was telling him some names I liked and he is like ' yeah thats ok .. I dont like that one .. um thats cool I GUESS' and yet he offers no suggestions .. that is typical him though - shoot down all your ideas but he has NONE himself ..well FUK him I am going to come up with the names and he will have to deal in the end I get what I want PERIOD. We are not married .. he isnt the one pregnant for 9 months or the one willing to juggle work and kids and run around like a chicken with their head cut off to handle it all - nor is he the one to do anything that takes any responsibility to him being a dad is play time only - yuck i cant stand him he will never get on my good side til he shuts up and learns to be a little more considerate and a little more conscience of what comes out of his mouth when he speaks to me - Ok I am going to stop ranting lol .. one more thing though Violet is over 1 yrs old now .. he still doesnt have the carseat in his car .. and the one he installed in his parents was in wrong and when i called him on it he just goes 'o ..ok' no O shit really ..im sorry .. nope just O OK .. like I am a dick for saying something about it - he thinks if he sits in the back with her she will be ok regardless of how the seat is in .. what an IDIOT ok done now .. phew sorry about that haha


fefer1 - July 2nd, 2009 12:18 PM

lol dawn - i love your rants. :) By the way, you SHOULD be getting child support, he DOES have an obligation to support them. I know I know, you don't want him to see them more often etc...but still....
He needs to get the car seat in correctly - geesh!
Not much new here - just enjoying our heat wave yet again. It's been an awesome summer - I'm sure you'll agree DDT. We have very similar weather -we're only a couple hours apart.
Levi finally decided to get into the pool yesterday - he'd lean in, stick one leg over the side, get out, do it again and get in, splash for a minute and get out and repeat the process. :) As soon as Rachel would splash him he'd freak out and get out.
So he's still not said any words...am I the only one?? He kind of says dadda but I don't think he's actually saying it and knowing what it means. Is it because he's #2??? I always hear that the first kids do everything earlier because they have so much attention. I know he'll talk, he tries, he babbles all sorts of stuff. Maybe one day he'll just start speaking in full sentences. :)
We have no 4th plans this year...seems like everyone is doing something but us.


Sprinkles - July 2nd, 2009 2:25 PM

O heather he DOES pay support I made him start that soon as we did the paternity test lol
I work this weekend I happen to be the lucky one on call .. ugh
so tomorrow after work I am going to take the girls to my parents house and take them swimming if the weather cooperates then saturday we will walk down at night to see the fireworks and I might BBQ .. should be fun nothing too complicated


Sprinkles - July 2nd, 2009 2:26 PM

Violet says only a couple of words - no mama though :(


buckeye74 - July 3rd, 2009 3:17 PM

Hi gals! Remember me? I haven't been on here forever! I just found out I am pregnant again and due March 4th. Wondering how 2 babies under 2 year will be! I can't believe our babies are 1 already. Hope you gals are all well.
