If I was still a virgin, I would be in a convent somewhere!!! LOL that is so funny! I figured you weren't but had to ask.... you never know - Mike was my first, granted we started dating when I was 18, but still. So other then spreading crap, what else do you guys do for fun? Are you living together yet? Have you talked about it? I got the photos, you both look beautiful... and Nat's man is pretty cute. Jacque

The bank just called and some idiot in Europe has gotten a hold of my debit card number, and is as we speak trying to steal my money (what little there is) lol! Anyway, the drama continues..... the account is on hold, and I just sent out a bunch of bills, the bank says it only effects debit transactions, so I hope this is true I would hate it if my checks were sent back. I have to call Mike now and tell him, he is going to be so happy!

Jacque: OMG!!!!!!!!!!! I love your new haircut!! That is sweet!! I bet that helped the weight loss news also. I felt like I lost 20 when I had all of my hair cut off!!! Kris is right..............short is addicting!!! Except I am not so patiently waiting for my hair to grow back out...........I'm ready to have it long again.............I have had it short for almost 2 years...........The longest I have had it short. I love all of the pictures of Kailey!!! I hope she had a wonderful birthday!! I can't wait for you guys to come out for the wedding!! OUR whole big Westgerdes clan is going to have such an awesome time!!! Only about 2 1/2 months to go!! Yes, I hope this is your month too!! Then the baby would have a birthday right around "AUNTIE TERRI'S" birthday!!!! Just think.....you could have Thanksgiving dinner in the hospital holding a little baby just like my mom!!!! But if you guys have a baby you really need to move closer!! I love having babies around!! I LOVE seeing little Brayden............so you would have to move closer so I could see your baby and Kailey more often too!!!! See............. cause eventually we will have kids and Krissy and her farmer man will pop out little farmers and they ALL can play together!!! Life is still SOOOOO crazy around here. I am so busy tutoring, taking classes, subbing, working at the Reading Center and WSU. Brian also is working LOTS of extra hours. We barely see each other........ As for my weight loss.......I have fallen off the wagon a little. I am still exercising but not watching my food as closely as I should.........so I have been at a stand still..........or only an additional loss of one or two. Hope to get back at it this week.................. Well tell Kailey and Mike I said hello!! And we will have to start serious wedding planning here in a month or so!! Just let me know!! Talk to you soon!! Terri

I have to catch up on posts... but for now, a me update!
This weekend was so awesome, I spent the majority of it at church and reading, I know BORING! LOL but it was so nice not to have much to do. Friday night we watched movies, Saturday we ran some errands and then watched another movie and then Sunday we went to the Olive Garden and Barnes and Nobel. I ate way to much, and I am not even going to get near the scale until Wednesday just to be sure. lol At Barnes and Nobel I bought - Two Princess Diaries books, now I have them all!, The 5th Georgia Nicholson Book, and a book called a few good eggs. The last one is about TTC and it taking forever! I love it, it is sooo funny but has lots of stories of personal experiences and information! I am such a book junkie.... I swear I could open my own library... in fact our next house will have a library!!!! It will be small (nothing like what the Beast had on Beauty and the Beast) but still... it will be mine!
Ok ladies... there is no school today, so I best be checking on the kids. I only have 6 here today and they are all school aged, so it will be an easy easy day!

Aimee: I hope things are going well! How much is Brayden sleeping? How long are you off of work?
Kris: I hope you had a good weekend, did you do anything exciting?
Terri: Thanks for the compliments on my new "do". I officially like it, it took me a while to get used to it. I was at the store on Saturday and EVERYONE was telling me how much they like it. It is so funny because I did not even know half of the people, most of them just knew me from writing for the paper! In fact Sue called me and asked me to write for the paper again!!!! I love the fact that they want me to come back to bad, I told her I would think about it. She "twisted my arm" and I will write freelance for a while, but I will not have my column.... which is a good thing, that is why I quit, I did not want that much responsibility anymore!
Ok.... a few things. We are going to Chicago from March 31st - April 3rd. I wanted to let you all know, just in case anyone wanted to drive up and go the the museum with us. The hotel we are staying at still has rooms, they run about $110.00 a night. We would love it if any of you could join us......
Also, Kailey's first communion is the weekend after Easter, she really wants someone in the family to be her sponsor. We would need this person (people) to be out here for the big day.... I asked her who she wanted, and she said all of my Ohio family. I know that the chances of all of you coming out here are slim, but I wanted to see if anyone would be interested in being her first communion sponsor. She refused to believe that she only needs one (or two) people... but that is all that is necessary. So, does anyone want to come out for a visit?

Just wanted to let you know that Kailey was invited to participate in the STATE competitions for her tumbling bracket! WooHoo! My little girl is going to state. I am so proud of her. He only has two more meets between now and then, so not a TON of time to practice but to be honest with you I do not care how well she does, as long as she has a great time!!! Jacque

Ho Hum... I am talking to myself again.... I really need to find something productive to do.
<edit to add> I found something productive, I emailed Tanya and asked her to join us on the site. I do not know how to get ahold of Erika, does anyone have her email address? Maybe they can join us also?

Hey Jacque,
Its been a while since I had time to get on here. I was on earlier today but my darn computer decided to freeze up on me, go figure. It defently has a mind of its own. Things here have been very good. Brayden LOVES to sleep, which is a good thing. He gets up about every three hours to eat and he is back off to lala land :-). Every one tells me he looks so much like josh, no credit for me I guess. Other than that things here are great. Not sure if Terri or anyone has talked to you or not, but i did end up having to have a c-section. I was fully dialated, but he was just stuck. I had him wedged (also gave him a very good bruise on the top of his head). I was in the hospital until sat. I told them it was time for me to go home :-) didnt want to be there anymore, four days was long enough. We have been back to the Dr. he goes again this friday. Hopefully we will get to see how much he has gained. Last time we were there the scale was not the same as the hospital so didnt give us a good idea. so we will compare last weeks to this weeks on there scale. Overall he is doing very well. Doesnt like to poop very much thought, he is getting better though. He has about 1 a day now the first two days we were home he didnt go at all. Least he knows how to pass gas, gets that from josh :-)
I will probably be going back to work the first week in April. Dont know for sure yet thats what I think it will be. Right now I am starting to do Dictation from the house for Dr. Trip, so i will still be bringing in money, which is a good thing.
Tell Kailey I would love to come to her first communion, but I have my best friends wedding shower that weekend, and i have to be there. Plus I dont know if Josh would want to travel that far with Brayden yet.
Hope all is well in the Komnick household. Some one is telling me they want to eat. I'll be on again when i get a chance. Talk to ya laters

Kris: La La La La - Where are you?
Terri: La La La La - Where are you?
Aimee: WooHoo! I am so glad things are going well! I had no clue you had a C-section! What does it feel like? Does it hurt like hell? Holy cow, that is my biggest fear, but of coarse if it is best for the baby I would have one in a heart beat... but still - it scares the crap out of me! --- Your son is adorable! You are a mommy!!!!! Are you getting alot of help? Do you feel smothered? I remember with Kailey, I just wanted everyone to leave us alone! It seemed like someone was always there... it wore off about about a month. By then she was now "new" so we did not have a constant stream of visitors, only about once a day.... and it has been like that ever since! --- Do not worry about the first communion..... I figured that you and Josh would not be able to come, especially with the baby. You should wait at least 3 months to take him to far. Some people do not even take their kids out in "public" (the store and whatnot) until they are at least 4 weeks..... we were not like that, but to each his own, right? --- You should send me some more photos, I bet Brayden has changes so much in the last week! --- Take care of you! You need rest and relaxation also. The last thing you need is stress.
Love and hugs!
Jacque

Friday night we had Mike's end of year party for his work. It was wonderful!!! We went with another couple and their son and we had such a good time. First we went out to eat at a little family owned Mexican Restaurant called Sombrero Loco, the food was fantastic! Then we went to the party, it was at the Holiday Inn. The kids swam and we sat around and talked. Then we went in to listen to the band (which was great) we all danced and had a good time. Some of the kids got fish to take home... so now we have another pet. Saturday we had Special Olympics Practice, it was the first one of the season. It was perfect. We did warm ups, talked about rules and regulations, reviewed everyone's events... and we had a half hour left so we played a game of basketball. I have not played basketball in forever, we had so much fun. Then The AOH girls that helped out, Mike, Kailey, and I went out to eat with my friend Dawn and her hubby at Ken's Corner. It is a small bar/restaurant. We had so much fun, and once again the food was awesome. After that we went to Caden's birthday party. The house and cake were perfect. Christy had everything decorated so nice, and she had so much food. I was a good girl and did not have any... after all I had just gone out to eat. Then we went to Kailey's church, Pizza Hut, and then to Wal-Mart. We got a new set of glasses and a new trash can... yippee. Mike also got a flash drive and Kailey got some new shoes. Sunday morning we got up early and went to Sunday school at Mike's church, the church service, a potluck, and the Mike had a new member class. After that we went to Olive Garden and TOYS R US!!! We got Kailey some new shoes and two new Veggie Tales movies. Plus we got the baby two Carter's Bags Sleepers and a cute little PJ. We got everything so that it was gender neutral so no matter what the baby could wear it. I will try to post photos later, it all depends on how long Caden sleeps. One we got home by dear friend Bridget and her kids stopped by for a visit and then we went to sleep... I was SOOOOOO Tired! Mike woke me up at about 11pm, we had this AWFUL storm come through. There were Tornado's in the area and all that jazz. I was tired, so Mike stayed up to "protect" us and listen to the scanner and watch the news. It passed in about a half hour. Ok, I have a cover line, and I am 5 DPO.... but I have never ever had a chart like this... maybe it is a good sign? We will have to wait and see. I am going to test at about CD 27 or 28. That is around next Monday or Tuesday, so I am almost already to the one week wait... here is a still of my chart... what do you think? LOL I ask you ladies like you all know so much about charting.

Just a little FYI - too many of the kids did not have first communion sponsors, so they are not going to have the kids have them this year. So, you are all off the hook. If you would like you are still more then welcome to come out though.
Anyway, my temps are looking great! I test in just a few more days!

Well, I tested. 12 DPO, BFN. I know it is early, but my temps are dropping and my cervix is getting softer and starting to open... AF is on her way. Oh well, I am taking it much better this cycle then last cycle. Trent was due in December.... if I get a BFP this next cycle then this baby will be a December baby also..... ho hum, maybe I will have more luck this next time around.
Ok, enough about be and my mood....
Where is everyone, it has been ages since you all posted..... I hope all is going well.
