Hello Hello Ladies!!!! Super busy weekend, I cannot wait to tell you about it... today is the first day of Spring Break... which means I am going to have a zillion kids here all day long. I am going to try to post at nap time while the older kids are watching a movie... but if you do not hear from me it means they either A. Have me tied up in the attic or B. all hell has broken lose and my home has started to closely resemble the book "the Lord of the Flies"..... well, maybe C. we will be having to much fun and I can break away from them for a moment to post.
Hugs and all that jazz......

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 for Kailey's Easter dress, it is soooo cute. I cannot wait to show you pics of her in it!!!!
Linda: Luke looks like he is having a blast! I just realized that his birthday falls on Easter Sunday this year... how cool is that. If I test early I might get a BFP on his Birthday! The big boy bike is just awesome, he looks so happy on it. And you look great, hard to believe that you are almost to the half way point of your pregnancy!!!
Diane: The kids are actually being great. Yesterday we planted seeds all day, and talked about how they grow, what they look like and all that jazz. The kids are usually pretty good, as long as I have control from the moment they get here then the day is good... but if I do not have control then watch out, the day will be just plain hell. --- I started day care about 8 years ago, because friends of mine needed someone to watch their kids during the day and I worked in the evenings. Over time I just started watching more and more kids, Kailey loved having other kids around... then when we moved out here I did not work the second job, just took on a few more kids and voila I had a home day care. I am licensed through the state, and work with them... bur for the most part I am self employed and as long as the kids are safe and fed we can do what ever we like... I love it, it is beyond awesome. And the money is nice, I could not afford to be a stay at home mom... so I have the best of both worlds.
Ok gotta run, I will be back on later today!

Good luck Jacque! I have everything crossed for you! Here's what we did today! I still have a long way to go, we are going to get day lilies and gray stones to fill in there and then line the walkway with paver stones, then in front of the porch we are going to dig a line right in front and put paver stones with a bed of flowers, some kind of perennials so that I don't have to keep planting every year, lol! Then we got trees to do too, fun fun! Here's what the front of the house looks like so you can see where the porch is Do you think paver stones and a bed of flowers will look good in front of there?

Linda, I love what you have done so far! And I think a flower bed will add so much to the front of the house. I love to do that sort of thing, we worked outside almost all afternoon on Saturday. We have lived here for almost 6 years now.... and the outside of the house looks NOTHING like it did when we first moved it. We have done so much landscaping and so much work to the house. Chances are we will not be done with it until we are ready to move again. Well, I still have not tested. Be proud of me... it is already 11 DPO!!! I am on CD 27 and have not peed on a stick! I feel the same I did at the end of last week..... like I could be pregnant or that AF is gonna show. Not sure when I am gonna test yet... but I promise I will let you know as soon as I decide. Jacque

Good luck Jacque! I see you're on B6, just remember that B6 can lengthen your luteal phase, so if you get a neg and you don't get AF, don't freak out! I hope you get that beautiful positive test this month though!!!!!

Time to freak out:
AFP results:
1/5000 chance for a Trisomy - good 1/5000 chance for neural tube defect - good 1/738 chance for Downs Syndrome - not that bad but with my age turns into: 1/175 chance for Downs Syndrome
Doctors going to try to move my ultrasound to sooner, he's calling me tomorrow. I want to cry. I would never terminate a DS baby, but I'd be so sad. Please say your prayers for the baby and pray it is okay.

Nope I have not tested yet!
I am here, just super busy. Things will be "officially" back to normal on Thursday. - Thank God!- We have been so busy with the extra kids during Spring Break and now Girl Scouts....... but tomarrow I only have 2 kids and I will be able to relax. I miss you both so much and HATE not being able to post all of the time.
Linda... Like I said on the other thread, I know things will be fine. But if you need to vent or talk or whatever know that we are here!!!
Diane... How cool is it that we will know what you are having in just about one month!
Ok, gotta check on the kids... I will try to get back on in a few.
Jacque
