Hey girls! Jacque, thanks for setting this up. this is perfect! Well, aunt flo reared her ugly head this morning. Ughhh. This sucks. And I was thinking I was late. Oh well. It's truly a miracle that I didn't bring children home with me from Ecuador! I'm about at the end of my rope with this ttc crap. How are you feeling, Alisha? Is your belly growing so fast? Are you getting prepared for the new baby? Jacque, any luck this month? I'm praying for you. So glad to have you both, girls. em p.s. I'm starting a new job this weekend...I'm covering for a girl while she's on maternity leave. We could use the extra money, but now I'll be technically working full time which I'm not used to. So, hopefully that won't keep me from coming and chatting with you guys! Just a heads up.

Alisha and Emily!! I hope you are both doing well! I am 11 DPO, and should know within 5 days if I am pregnant!
Emily: I am very proud of you, I would have brought a baby home with me! lol I am so sorry that you started your period. AF is such a cow, why doesn't she leave us alone!!! I hope you love your new job, and that working full time takes your mind off of TTC. I hope and pray that this is your month!
Alisha: How are you feeling? You are almost to that half way mark! I am gonna send you an email, I'm worried that either something is wrong or you are not able to find our board!!!
Talk to you both soon!
Jacque

Hi girls, I'm BACK! I'm sorry that I have been unable to post. I've been SO busy! Things will be back to normal again in about 2 weeks. I'm under a huge amount of stress at my job. I'm trying to become a National trainer of teachers, teaching GLAD (Guided Language Aquisition Design) which was designed to help English Language Learners. If you remember, I teach almost all Hispanic children, and it is so great, but challenging to meet their language needs at times. I began studying GLAD a year and a half ago, and I LOVE it! It's just a HUGE amount of work, and the woman that is in charge of it has very high expectations of her Key Trainers. Well, I'll know in 2 weeks if I passed the Guru's expectations or not, because she's coming to observe my team (5 other teachers) and I on October 17th-October 21st. Anyways, that's why I've been too busy to post. I love the site though. I had been checking it out before Jaque got the board up and running. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THIS WEBSITE? I can't read it, b/c the sparkles are covering the words. I'm interested in knowing. Jaque, did you get those pics I sent? I'll send them to you too Em, if you want to see. It's just a pic of my family and I. Take care girls, Alisha

Okay, I FINALLY figured out how to post my ticker in my messages. It took me long enough! Anyways, I hope you get your BFP Jaque! I'm excited to hear your news soon. You should find out today, right? I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Emily, I'm so sorry that the mean and nasty af came. I hope that this is the month for both of you. How long have you both been ttc again? The only thing that I wish that I could see here that we can't anymore are people's charts. I wish I could see your girls'. I'm feeling great now. I'm DEFINITELY showing. I had to break down and buy maternity clothes last week. I'm 16 weeks and 3 days today. YEAH! I'm getting very anxious to know the sex of my child, as my big u/s is on November 11th. However, we're NOT finding out. We've promised each other. We found out with Yesi, b/c I wanted a girl so badly, but I don't care this time. I just want a healthy baby. This baby is very active. I feel him/her every day, and have since about 11 weeks. That's very early, but I know what a baby feels like. I took the AFP test yesterday, but won't find out the results for 3 weeks. That SUCKS! I hope all is well. I feel really good about this baby though, and believe God will protect him/her. Only 23 weeks and 4 days left until I will know for sure what I'm having! Actually more like 22 weeks. They're going to take the baby at least 1 week early, as I have to have a c-section. Take care! Alisha

Emily: How is everything in your neck of the woods? I know your are super busy, but do not forget to stop in and say hello! Where are you at in your cycle? Shouldn't it be about ovulation time for you?
Alisha: I love watching your new little ticker move! Can you believe you are almost to the halfway point? I know you are busy at work.. but try not to stress to much! It is not good for you OR your little baby! - "National trainer of teachers, teaching GLAD (Guided Language Aquisition Design)" Wow, that sounds important. What exactly will you be doing if the Guru approves? - The name of this site is the ChatterBox! You are not the first person who has had trouble reading the banner... I will have to have Linda check into that! I set up this site (with the help of Linda and Diane) so if you need anything please let me know! Most members post all over the site, so feel free to check it all out! - You can still check out my chart... just click on my ticker and it will take you to the FF site and my charts!!! - WOOHOO you are showing! That is so exciting! November 11th is right around the corner, I cannot believe you are going to wait to and find out what you are going to have after delivery!!! - Be sure to tell us about the test results!!! - I think it is sooo awesome that you can feel the baby move so much! I noticed you refer to the baby as a HIM............. do you think you are going to have a boy? - I mentioned it in the email I sent you today... but just in case you get on this site first... I THINK YOUR FAMILY IS ADORABLE!!!! You are so beautiful, your little girl is so precious, and your hubbie is a hottie!
Well, not much new here! Same stuff different day! I am now excited about this cycle. I hope and pray that this is it for Emily and I... we need to join the wonderful world of pregnancy before Alisha delivers!

Hey, my sweet friends! Sorry I've been nonexistant. I started this new job this week (I'm covering for someone while they're on a 9 week maternity leave) and she went early on Monday. So I kind of got thrown into it. But, I'm going to try to keep up better here. I miss you girls! You guys are the best! Alisha-how exciting that you're feeling the baby all the time! That's the best! And I totaly commend you guys for waiting to find out what you're having. I love the idea of it, but have no patience. That'll be so fun! I'm so excited for you too that you're showing now. Wish we could see your belly! By the way, please do email the pics of your family! I'd love to see them! Also, I completely forgot that you're teaching Spanish!!! I wish we spoke in person, because I'd love to learn it better for when I go back to Ecuador. I made do with what little I knew, but it'd be great to know more. Also, we just had to erase everything off my computer to try and speed it up, so I don't have any pics saved on it right now, but remind me and I'll send you guys pics of my family. Jacque-What time of the month is it for you? I'll go back up in a minute and check out your chart..aren't you testing right about now? I SO hope that this is your/our month! One of my best friends here is just starting this month, so I'm hoping we'll get pregnant together. If I got pregnant this month my due date would be on July 5. Fun, huh? Actually, my dd's birthday is the day before Halloween, my dh's birthday is on Cinco de Mayo and this next could be on 4th of July. too fun. Anyway, we just passed ovulation. I don't know how to post my chart, but my temps look good so far. We'll see! Love, em

nyHi girls, I'm here again. As soon as this next week is over, my life will be back to normal. The first day of my 6 day observation was Friday and it went great. If I'm certified, it means that I have the potential to contract myself out to school districts around the nation and teach their teachers how to use GLAD. The pay is amazing; ($4800 a week to be exact), but I wouldn't do it very often, b/c I'm only doing it for my school district during the year, and might do it once during each summer. I would be thrilled to pull in that kind of money. I won't be heartbroken if I don't get certified, as my district will still use me to train our staff, and I got into it because I believe so strongly in the model. As long as I can still train our staff, I'm happy. No, I can't believe I'm almost half way there. It seems like just yesterday that I found out I was expecting. My dd is getting so excited. My mom felt the baby kick last weekend, which was really exciting. Yes Jaque, I think I'm having a boy. I'm not really sure why, but I just feel so different about being pregnant this time. Plus, I look different. Last time, I looked like CRAP the whole time. This time, my hair and nails are looking better than normal, and even my skin is nicer. Last time, my hair and nails were brittle and dull and my skin looked drab. I could be wrong, but everything just feels so different. Jaque-Thanks for the compliment on my family. I definitely lucked out in the dh department. Not only is he incredibly cute, but he is the sweetest, most loving and patient man I have ever known. I love him so much, and thank God for putting him in my life. I've never known a more empathetic and considerate man in my life. He is the best daddy too, and he just can't wait to have another baby. To give you an idea of how sweet he is, I'll tell you this little story. When we first met, I fell in love with him at first site. He had this smile, (and still does) that just melted my heart. At the time, I was involved in the party scene very heavily. He really liked me, but thought that he would bore me b/c he wasn't a partier. So even though the first night we met we talked all night, he didn't call me right away. As time went on, we kept seeing each other occassionally, but nothing serious. I was devistated b/c I just knew he was the one. I started to change- I quit drinking, smoking and partying, and all of a sudden I felt like a new person. So, one day I called him, we got together for dinner, and we've been together ever since. The sweetest part is that it took him 10 months to kiss me. When he finally did, he told me that he was sorry it took him so long, but he didn't want to get my hopes up about us having a relationship until he knew he was in love with me. He didn't want to break my heart. Isn't that the sweetes thing? He's such a love.

Jaque- You and your daughter look so much alike. What a pair of cuties! I can read the banner now. I hope this is the month for the two of you as well. I was hoping for last month too, but I think this is it! I'm throwing tons and tons of baby dust at both of you! Actually, I'm throwing Dorito dust right now, b/c I'm eating a mini-bag, and I'm at the bottom-haha! What does the "virgin" and the one star under my name mean? Also, what does the 1 by "Karma" mean? Emily- I'm sorry I didn't write a pm to you on the last message. Oops. I hope you are well. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, (and cleaning Doritos out of my teeth :-) for you and Jaque. I will send you a photo of my family through email. Send me one too. My email is lsergeandalisha@aol.com. That's an "L" not a 1 at the beginning of my email. I hope that your new job is going well. Keep us posted. Love, Alisha

Jaque-I checked out your website. I love the nursery. It is so original and sweet. Your baby will have a lot to look at! The giraffe will be really cute with spots. I'm so sorry about your little angel baby. That is so sad. I'm sure the next one will stick perfectly. Love, Alisha

Hello girls, Well, I was thinking that I'd come and catch up on posting today, but it seems you girls are busy too. This week is so stressful! I just can't wait for Friday and my life to be back to normal. I hope you are both well. Post when you get a chance, k? I'm getting really excited b/c my ultrasound is on November 11th. I can't wait! We are still determined to wait until the baby is born to find out the sex though. I just can't wait to see my baby again. I might get to on Friday, b/c every time I've gone, they've had to use an ultrasound to hear the heartbeat. I hope I get to hear my little cherub's heart beating Friday. I'm 18 weeks today!!! I can't believe it. Love, Alisha

Alisha!
Dear God, I cannot believe that you are already at 18 weeks, just think.. in less then two weeks you are going to be at the half way mark. I know I have said it a million times, but you are my hero. I cannot believe that you are going to wait to find out the gender... what if you are pregnant with a boy and he is positioned so you can tell just by looking at the baby.. are you going to be upset if you find out? Hee Hee, I think you are having a boy also!
So with GLAD, you will only be contracting yourself out a couple of times a year? Be sure to take it easy, no stress... and a lite schedule, you gotta take care of yourself! I hope the certification goes well, I cannot wait to hear the results!
I love the story about you and your hubby! It gave me goose bumps. It is wonderful that you and your hubby have such a perfect relationship, it helps make your day to day life so wonderful. I thank God for Mike, he too is perfect! My parents fought constantly, even after they were divorced. I vowed when I was 12 that I would not marry anyone until I know that we would be in love forever and that our lives would be perfect. I knew from the moment that I met Mike that he was the one for me!
Thanks for checking out the nursery. I will be so happy when it is finally finished. I love working on it, I love spending time with Michelle (she is like a little sister to me) and I love the fact that we are preparing for a baby... but I cannot wait until I can walk into that room and see everything set up, everything in place... it will be perfect!
I am sorry that I did not get to post in between your posts... I have been here, but I have been taking care of some administration stuff on the site. I think I am all caught up now, and I promise to get back to you right after you post!
My life is starting to get back to normal, once this week is over then I will officially have cut back on ALL of my volunteer work, it sucks that I have to cut back, I am going to miss it so... but I need to do this so when I get a BFP then I know that I will be able to take it easy!
I hope all goes well on Friday, and that you get to hear the heartbeat again... I cannot wait to hear about your appointment!!!
Talk to you soon!
Jacque
