This is my attempt to get my family to join the site and chat on a buddy group... most of us are either moms, ttc, or newly married... so I thought that sooner or later they will be in need of a buddy group like ours....
SO...
Hello Aimee, Terri, and Aunt Carol!!

Terri: I am so glad that you caught up with us. This is an awesome site, complete with very kind and supportive women. You are more then welcome to join in on any of the conversations, even if you are not quite yet ready to start trying for a sweet baby of your own! I added you to the CD tracker, even though you are not actively trying... that way everyone knows, and will recognize your name when you start posting on other portions of the site. How is the subbing? Are you with a good class?
Aimee: Girl, don't post as a guest! Join the site! How is the new job going?
We had a wonderful time at the zoo! I posted photos of our trip on the "I Love My Kids more then anything" part of the site. We all had a wonderful time, I am so glad that we all decided to go to the zoo... next time maybe you could come all of the way out to our house... or we could check out the museum of science and Industry!!
So, whats new any exciting?
Jacque

Hi!! I am obsessed with your site...............Last night instead of doing homework, I was reading on your site for like 2 1/2 hours...........I'M NOT KIDDING!! And Brian wondered why I didn't get anything done!! LOL I am so anxious for you with all of the count down going on...............I even keep thinking....okay how many more days until Jacque tests................This stuff is addicting......... Now that I have read tons, I hope and pray for all of you girls..................... I hope that I don't have to go through some of the things some girls here did...................but then again if I have to I know where I can find lots of good support!!! Subbing is going good. I am doing reading intervention so I see about 30 different kids grades K-4 everyday to work one-on-one or is a small group. It's lots of fun...............but this week sucked for them cause all I got done doing was giving them tests! Poor Things!! I tried to make it as fun as testing can possibly be!! Well better go!! for everyone!!! Terri

Terri!!!! I hope you are having an awesome weekend! Right now I am in Morris at our friend Donnie's house waiting for our other friend Bridget to get here... then we are gonna eat and watch some fight on Pay Per View... translated as the guys will watch the fight, the kids will play in the other room and we will sit in the Kitchen and talk!
I will be testing on Tuesday, and I am very excited. Right now I am 9 days past ovulation... when I test I will be 12 days past ovulation... but that is still early. Some women can test as soon as 10 DPO and get a positive test, but not me.... both times I have been pregnant I have had to wait until 15 DPO to get that positive test. But there is always a change that I will get a positive test earlier then last time... so I will give it a try. If the test in Negative on Tuesday I will test every day until I either start my period or I get a positive test.... I promise that every time I test I will post the result on the Westgerdes Women board first (after all you are family) and then on the rest of the board right afterwords!!!!
I am glad that subbing is going well, sorry that you have so many test to give... but at least you are making it fun! What type of test are you giving them? Are they "normal" school test, or the standardized test?
How is everything else going? Does Brian like his new job? How many days until Paprika joins the family?
Love,
Jacque

Jacque- I am so excited for you!! I religiously check the sight every day to see how you and the other girls are doing................It's going to be amazing reading about how all of you are feeling once every one gets their BFP's!!!!! So how was Morris??? It sounded like fun! Did Kailey have a good time?? As soon as I get some time, (I was swamped this weekend with the Reading Center Sat morning..............we had the Coldwater School auction in the afternoon...........Does Kailey need or want a nice school desk? ? , laundry, and TONS OF HOMEWORK!!!) I will go through the zoo pictures and get some of those sent to you. It looks like either tomorrow or Friday will be my last day for this long term.............until her next surgery. Hopefully I can stay busy subbing.............cause I get used to these pay checks and then they stop.................it sucks. Brian is really liking his job. He is REALLY busy, which is good! The paychecks are alot nicer too! Well I guess I better go........... I have a very busy beginning of the week. I sub during the day tomorrow....then I have to do a parent meeting in Greenville (on literacy) right after school. I sub Tuesday again and then I have class right after school until 8:30............THEN I WILL BE RACING HOME TO GET ON HERE so I can hear about everyones testing results and send my congrats to all!!! Well I will be putting in extra prayers in for all of you guys the next couple of days!! Have a great day! (I hope Tuesday comes very quickly for you!!) Tell Kailey and Mike I said HI!! & Terri

Well Terri, I tested this morning... it was negative!! But I am still not losing hope my temps look AWESOME (click on my ticker by my signature and check out my chart), my boobs are tender and HUGE, and I still have a very positive outlook. I just tested to early. I will test again every day until wither i get a positive result or AF shows. Morris was wonderful, we had an awesome time. We did not take photos though... I forgot the camera! But we did play games and ride rides and even saw the fire works. We also ate lunch with Mike's parents.... and well that was ok... Mikes parents are kind of a pain in the a$$. I would love it if you sent us some of the zoo photos, that way Kailey would have more to pick from. She is going to paint 12 frames, so she will need to decide on 12 photos (which will take her forever!!!) so the more we have the better chance she will have to find 12 she likes! Yes.... she would love a nice school desk... but I am not sure if I responded to this in time for you to get her one! If you did, then that is awesome... if you didn't, then what she doesn't know will not hurt her! That sucks that the "real" teacher is coming back. When is her next surgery? I hope that you will get a teaching job next year, I know how bad you want to have a class of your own!! Tell Brian we said HI!! And that I am glad things are going well at his new job! Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes... we all appreciate it! Jacque PS: You really need to start posting in the question of the day and in off topic chat... jump in at any time. You are welcome to join in on any thread... I just figured it would be easier for you to chat in the ones that are not all about babies and pregnancy!

Howdy! I'm glad you are staying positive!! That is half of the feat right there.............I struggle with being positive.............I am a HUGE pessimist, so I will need you dearly whenever I want to have a baby!! You 'll be a pro at it by then!! Kailey can definitely have a desk.............I doubt we will see each other or one of us would take a road trip until December when we go for another game............... Maybe "Santa" Brian and Terri could show up with a nice desk with a big bow!!!! I got like 12 of them so I have plenty!! Guess how much we paid for 12 of them.........................................$2.00!!!! Isn't that hysterical. They are nice desk too!! Anyways, find some room for it..............I will get it to her eventually!!!! I have no clue when the teachers next surgery is.............it is a hysterectomy (sp??) and I have a feeling it will have a longer recovery time than an appendix. My mom had so much trouble after hers. They have to push it back (it originally was scheduled for Oct. 31st until her amergency surgery) because she lost so much blood during the other...........so they have to wait until her blood count is back up. Oh well, the sub hotline lady called today and gave me some more days...............Once you hit October it gets alot better with each and every month...........August and September are the worst!!!! I forgot to tell you on my last post about Paprika. She should get to come home the end of next week. I will send you guys pictures of her and Chili when we get her! I will try to jump in on the others.............just haven't had too much time......................mostly so far I have been a nose butt and just go from thread to thread reading............well the general ones anyway. Well keep on a testing!! I will keep thinking about you!!! Have a great day tomorrow!! Terri

Terri: I still think this is the month, I feel great, and have a very positive outlook... that being said.... I am such a LOSER!!!! lol I tested again today, it was negative. When am I going to learn NOT TO TEST EARLY!!! You would think after 3 months of TTC since the M/C I would learn that I need to be LATE in order to test!!! Well, according to FF my test day is tomorrow. I have no more test in the house and I am not going to the store until Thursday... so my goal is for AF to be late (she is due on Wednesday) and I will run to the store after work on Thursday pick up a test and test right away.... and I have no other choice then to stick with this plan because I am so frickin busy the next few evenings that I will not have time to go to Wal-Mart! lol Right now, I do not feel like AF is gonna show and my Boobs are HUGE... so that is a good sign! I resigned from the newspaper today, I posted about it under Off Topic Chat... please read it and let me know if you think I did the right thing! Kailey will LOVE the desk, she has a computer desk, and she uses it all of the time, but I know that she would think that a school desk is the coolest thing ever! I will be sure that she has room for it. $2.00 for 12!!! How awesome is that! It makes sense that August and September are slow subbing months... no one wants to call of work when they just got back from summer break. Chili is gonna love having a playmate. I cannot wait to see photos of them together! Talk to you soon! Jacque

I'm out, our at least I think I am. I had a huge temp drop today... HUGE. So, AF should show today... if she doesn't I would be really really really surprised. Maybe my temps will go back up tomarrow... but I doubt it. Last time I had a dip like this it was good old auntie calling to tell me she is on her way...... crap. I'm going to go check my cervical mucus, hold on a second. lol Ok... it is clear, but I do not spot before AF, she is either here or not... so that is the not always the best way to judge. So... either way, the end of my waiting game is almost here. If she does not show today AND my temp goes back up in the morning then I will test on Thursday...
I gotta get Kailey to school so I am just going to copy and paste this onto all of my buddy groups.....
love and babydust!
Jacque

Terri: I am out of the running. Aunt Flow showed up today. The thing is that I am actually ok, I mean I thought that I would be crying my eyes out if I did not find out that I was pregnant... but you know, now I am just more positive and more determined this cycle. The best part is that I will be testing on Halloween to see if I am pregnant, and that is my second favorite holiday.....
Well, now we just have another month to finish the baby room, pay off bills, and shed some extra pounds!
Here's to July Babies!!

I'm sorry to here about AF..................Oh well, now when you guys come out for the wedding......it might not be as uncomfortable....now you would only be 7-8 months!! Like you said..............maybe since Halloween is your favorite holiday.....this is all happening for a reason!! Sorry I haven't had time to post much.............plus I don't have much to say when I do post............it's been really crazy here at our house. Today I subbed at a preschool......it is a special needs preschool..............and I got to go on a field trip with them to the Pumpkin Farm....it was so much fun.............................The kids were so excited....they each got to pick an apple, two gourds, and a small pie pumpkin..............some of their bags weighed as much as they do!!!! Well, we got bad news..............well semi bad news..............well not good news.....We were getting the last female in the litter.......so everyone else got to pick one out first....................well the only one left is a long haired dog..............That sucks. SO now I'm not sure if we will get one...........or a boy.........or a long haired girl............ Yeah!! Guess what.........Brian just called Ray and they said that the first couple cancelled and now we can choose a short haired one if we do...............She's a runt. But that's okay!! Well better go! Tell Miss Kailey I said Hi!! Get geared up for this coming month!!!! Terri
