Wow..... with Linda's little girl we are certainly going to have a pink baby boom here over the next several months. You know, I am even more excited then ever to find out what Diane is going to have! Amanda: You are doing great, and if you do not meet your weight goal... then who cares? It will come off when you are ready for it to, weather it is 6 weeks, 6 months, or 6 years after Lexi Jo is born. --- How is the baby's room coming along? Where the heck is everyone? You all know I am a worrier!!!! I need updates! LOLl Jacque

TODAY IS O DAY!!!! I got a super dark OPK!!!! We made love this morning, yes we made love... it was not the baby dancing kind if you know what I mean. It was actually good! And Fun! LOL I think we will again tonight, then again on Friday and then on Saturday and Sunday just to be sure that we have our bases covered. Say a little prayer that Mikes sperm are super swimmers and find that egg!

Hey girls it's Alisha, Wow, hardly anyone is posting on here anymore, huh? I thought I'd be catching up for an hour. I'm posting as a guest, b/c I'm having some technical difficulties with my profile. I'll post as a guest until the problem is solved, or until I have to re-register to solve it. Anyways, I'm glad to hear that both Jacque and Amanda had a fun vacation. Where are you Linda, Diane and Kristina? I hope the three of you are doing okay.
CONGRATS Linda! A baby girl...you are in for a treat. Baby girls are the best...of course I'm not biased! Ha! Looks like this is a baby girls buddy group!
Amanda- Thanks for your concern. I am doing much better since I resolved some issues I was having with b/f. I haven't posted since the problems started, and to make a long story short, I was having the same problems that I had with Yesi. My milk supply went WAY down. This time however, I went and saw a lactation consultant and she suggested that I take an herb called Fenugreek and that I pump the milk into a bottle for Abriyel. (I was having too much pain breastfeeding her on the boob b/c she was biting and scratching since there wasn't enough milk.) Anyways, it worked and now we are both much happier. Maybe you could try the Fenugreek if you have problems again. You just take 15 tablets the first day, (Yes, that' right...15!) and then every day after that you take 3 in the am and 3 in the pm. I went from pumping 1/2 an ounce to pumping b/w 3 and 4 ounces in just one day of using the Fenugreek. Is Abbie getting excited about her sister? I'm sure she is! Only 9 weeks to go for you! I can't believe it!
Jacque- Did you get my message to thank you for the sweet gifts that you sent for Abriyel and Yesenia? Yesi LOVED THEM and said you were a "very nice girl." Isn't that sweet? I LOVE the dress that you sent for Abri and the bib has already been much used. It's SO sweet...just like you.
Take care friends, Alisha

Hi all. Sorry to be MIA. I am having a bad week and it's only Tuesday morning at like 5:30 (insomnia strikes again!). Wow, so far we are only having girl babies around here. How funny. Let's see if Diane will break the trend!
Alisha-I'm glad the fenugreek is working for you. I tried it last time and I'd say it helped somewhat but my supply didn't go down until Abbie was about 3 months old or so and it would get me to produce 2-3 oz at a time, but that wasn't enough for an older baby, so I did end up taking other stuff plus supplementing with formula. I hope not to offend you, but aren't you exhausted pumping and then feeding the baby? I found that to be like feeding the baby twice. I was so tired after doing that for several months. But I guess you can give the baby to Serg to feed when you're done pumping, right?
I hope everyone else is well, Alex needs the computer to finish a project before he goes to work today. I'll try to post later.
Amanda

Ok, as for our weekend. Friday night we went to tumbling and afterwords we grilled out. It is so nice here, and I love being able to spend so much more time outside! Then, on Saturday we has special Olympics practice... our athletes did great. Then afterwords we had the AOH members and a Friend of ours over for lunch, and we grilled out again! Sunday Kailey had a tumbling meet, she placed 7th out of 8... but she did a great job, her scores were really high but the other girls... holy cow. They were getting 9.9's and 9.8's. We went to a bigger meet so there were girls there that we had not met yet and wow.. they were so good. Normally the highest anyone gets in Kailey's age group is about a 9.1... and Kailey averages around an 8.6. Anyway, we had a great time. Then we went shopping, we got Kailey's Easter dress, and it is beautiful... very grown up. I will post photos of her in it after Easter. I do not want her to put it on any sooner..... she would get something on it. lol
Diane: Less then six weeks... it would just be crazy if you end up having a girl also. If that is the case then the only chatter box boy babies will be the first ones born! Crazy, huh! I am actually leaning towards wanting another girl, I was at the store this weekend and we went to look at baby clothes... I so love the girl outfits, the little jumpers and dresses...... I definitely could do that again.
Amanda: I am sorry your week is off to a bad start. Feeling tired just sucks. I hope that subsides soon. So, what is new and exciting? Baby room done yet? Are we gonna get to see some photos....
Alisha... gotta check on the kids, I will reply to your last post in a few.

They are being so good, I only have 5 here right now... the rest will not be here for another hour or so, so it will be an easy day. Anyway.... Alisha: I am ecstatically happy that the fenugreek is working for you, I hope that your supply increases and that you will not have to work so hard to get all of that "liquid gold" lol . Yes I got your post about the gifts, and it was no problem. It was the very least I could do. I am glad you like the outfits and that Yesi thinks I am a very nice girl... give her a huge hug for me! Anyway, I am gonna get back to the kids. Yesterday we planed flowers and veggies all day. It was great, we learned about seeds and talked about which would sprout first and what all of the seeds looked like. It was so much fun!!!! Today we are going to spend most of the day on walks and at the park. Well, that is if it warms up... it is only about 59 outside, and it needs to be a bit warmer if we are going to walk to the park... I hate being cold... lol Jacque

I am sad today..... not sure why, I just am. OK I do... I am feeling sorry for myself because I have yet to get a BFP. I am such a baby. I will be testing soon enough, I hope that this will be my last month of TTC, that is until we start TTC #3. Anyway..... I just noticed that AMANDA AND KRISTINA ONLY HAVE 60 DAYS TO GO!!!!! Holy Cow! That is like two months, then the start of the baby boom!!!! Jacque

A quick note to Jacque-I'm sorry you are down in the dumps. TTC is so hard and the suckiest part about it is that once you decide to try you already are ready to be pg-who wants to wait once they decide to go ahead? I know that you and Mike will grow your family, please just keep up the faith. You stay so positive for the rest of us, now just keep up that positive attitude for yourself.
Love and sticky babydust, Amanda

Jacque - sorry you were having a bad day. Hopefully you are being emotional about TTC is because you are pg and have those hormones raging. and you will grow your family soon, I just know it. If not 2006, then 2007

Amanda and Diane: Thanks so much! I know that everything will be OK, and that soon we will get a BFP. I even got a little extra hope last night..... after 3.5 years of trying my friend Kelly finally got a BFP.... that is after 3.5 years without any medical intervention!!! I am so happy for her. So I know that it will happen for us also.
I am 11 DPO, on CD27 and I am not feeling any different then last week.... everything I feel is a sign that I am either gonna get a BFP or AF is on her way. So... we will just have to wait and see. I am not sure when I am gonna test. If AF comes it will be on Wednesday, so maybe Thursday? Or Wednesday morning... not sure.
We had a great week, and an even better Easter weekend. We really did not do anything exciting, but had fun none the less. I have some photos to post later on.... some of Kailey in her Easter outfit and some of the new baby kittens. If I am not crazy busy today then I will post them at nap time. This is the last day of Sprig Break.... then life will return to normal... that is until Summer is here!

Warning... VENT....
Ok... so you know my friend Kelly. I take care of her sons.... and the 9 year old just said to me - Hey, did you hear about my mom? and I said yes, I am very happy for your family... that is awesome news. Then he said, well I bet you are mad because every gets pregnant and you don't. It was the straw that broke the camels back. I am so mad right now. I know he is only a kid, but he had to hear that somewhere else, I do not talk about that sort of thing with the kids.... So I said back to him, That was extremely rude Calab, I cannot believe you just pointed out that I am still not pregnant. And I also cannot believe that you think I am a petty enough person to be mad at your mom for finally finding out she was pregnant after 3.5 years. Then I came upstairs. I really need to calm down before I go back down. I mean COME ON!!!! I was in a great mood, why do I have to start my day out with such a slap in the face......
Jacque
