Thanks ladies! We have not had sex since about half way though the 2ww, and that was FOREVER ago. I am now almost 11 weeks - LOL I JUST HAD TO LOOK AT MY TICKER!! I AM ALMOST DONE WITH MY FIRST TRIMESTER!!! - so we are almost to the end of the first Trimester. I have been feeling sick... so that has alot to do with us waiting, but I also think that alot of it has to do with fear. I think we will get "back into the swing of things" within the next few weeks... Jennifer: I think that Diane did a perfect job covering all that is really needed with a new baby. I really LOVED using our bouncy seat with all of my day care kids and with Kailey, I really like the Ocean Wonders one by fisher price... it is sooo cute! Jacque

Hello all, I finally made it into the library. All is well with us. Abriyel and Yesenia are both great. Abri had her 4 month checkup last Thursday, and weighed in at 15 POUNDS, 3 OUNCES!!! What a porker. She's also 25 and 1/4 inches long!!! She has grown so much it is amazing. Her Doctor said she's very advanced physically, and was surprised to hear that she started rolling back and forth at 3 months. She's been standing completely for like a month too and that was shocking to the Doctor. She's so amazing! I ordered Nutrisystem on Saturday, so it should be here some time this week. I'm so excited about the possibilities! I hope that I lose the 80 pounds that I want to. All I've heard are good things, so I'm very excited. I am planning to buy a computer next month, when I go back to work. My first day is August 29th, and I'm dreading it too, just like Kris and Amanda. It will be hard to leave my babies, but I have a WONDERFUL daycare provider lined up, as you read, and I know that she will love my girls and take good care of them.
Jacque- Hi there, I'm so sorry to hear about your m/s. You poor thing. Hopefully it will be gone soon, since you're already almost done with your first trimester! I can't even believe how fast time flies. Your pg is going by so fast. I miss you too, and can't wait to be able to talk more often! Have you tried mints for you m/s? Sometimes they help people. For me, lemons helped, and also lemon drops candies. Try them.
Amanda- I'm glad that Lexi is doing well. I'm sure Abbie is a wonderful help for you. Your vacation sounded wonderful. How peaceful! I've never tried ebay, but maybe I will...
Jennifer- There is this stuff called "Lil' goats milk" If you can find it anywhere, I bet your sis would love it. It's a line of bath products that are made from goat's milk and enhanced with essential oils. It kinda' reminds me of a hippee product, so I'm surprised that I liked the smell, no offence to any hippees out there, I'm just usually into the foo foo products. But, the thing about it is it's really hard to find. I got it for a gift for Abri and have been looking for it ever since. I can't find it anywhere! The smell takes some getting used to, but after a few applications, you notice that the smell lingers on the baby for the whole next day, and it smells really fresh. It is also the most gentle baby soap I have ever used.
Kris- I'm glad Sara is doing so well. It is so fun being a mom, isn't it? I hope your first day at work goes better than mine did when I had Yesi. I cried the whole day, and carried a picture of her around with me that I held close to my heart all day. Sappy, I know!
Linda & Diane- You are getting sooooooooooooooo close! You must be ecstatic! The wait just kills, doesn't it?
Take care until next time girls! Alisha

Linda- Cute! I love your nursery!
Jacque- I would like to see the post from Aalissa. I can't believe someone would post negative things about people? That is so weird! Isn't she the one that we were chatting about about weight loss? Milissa wasn't her username aalissa? Jennifer- I wouldn't rely too heavily on the gender chart. You can find different charts on different websites. The one that you have was wrong for my girls. But, I have seen ones that were right for both of them. You will get what is meant to be in the long run, and you will be so ecstatic!

Amanda - sorry I never posted aboutt your ? about selling Avon
I love selling Avon it sales itself, and now is a great time to start actually - well I would wait until September personally. Avon offers the 1st 4 campaigns if you do your orders online(which is easy) 50% off most products. so you could get face cream for 50% off for 4 campaigns, plus get great Christmas gifts cheaper also. start up fee $10. I got my 1st 2 campaigns of books free from my manager then have to buy the next 2 campaigns. 50 books are about $15, but just think you have to sale $30 to recover that cost. then after the 4 campaigns you can decide if you want to continue or quit, you can quit and no ?'s asked. my friend did that, and hasn't been harassed to start back up or anything.
IF you have any more ?'s PM me or post here if others don't mind.
Why I said September, last year my October and November sales were double then the rest of the campaigns so great time to make 50% don't you think LOL!
After the 4 campaigns the amount of discount goes by total sales. $20 and over 20% off, $145 and over 30% off, over $260 35% off. I am usually the 30 or 35% each campaign. I now buy only 30 books

Ok girls.....I need your opinions on a name. I really want to have a name for our baby when we find out what we are having on Thursday. We have a boys name already, he will be Brayden Nicholas Anthony. But for a girl, we still aren't decided. We had Addison Kayleigh picked out but then my cousin (who is due a few months before me) decided that they are naming their little girl Addison Lynnette, so we cant us Addison anymore. I have been trying to think of a girls name that I really like and I think I have finally found "the" name. What do you all think of the name Aryanna Brielle (pronounced R-E-unna Bree-L)?

Jennifer - the gift for you sis sounds nice.
I love the name Aryanna, I never seen it spelled like that, I always see it Arianna - doesn't matter, still think it is cute.
And I dont' know your last name so hard to say if it all goes together.

Jennifer - I had to take the 3 hour test. I had to fast no water no food from midnight on. then I drove to the testing place. They drew blood - fasting level plus stuck my finger for instant Blood test result Then I drank the stuff and the timer started. Blood drawn at 1 hour, 2 hour, and 3 hour I had the same type of drink as the 1 hour test, but had to drink the whole bottle instead of half. DDid they give you a # ?? passing is anything below 140, and my 1st level was 142, then I passed the 3 hour test

Diane - I am so confused about this test. For the 1 hour test I didnt have to fast (although most people said they had to). I was just supposed to go straight from my appointment to the lab. At the lab they gave me a 10 oz bottle of that orange sugary drink and said I had 5 minutes to drink the whole thing (not 1/2). They didnt check my blood before the test, only after.
For this test, the doctor said to go first thing in the morning, but again said nothing about fasting. Nor did he give me the number from my first test.
I dont know what to think. I am so scared that I am going to fail this test too!!! Anything I can do to help me pass it?!?!

I would call and ask your doctor about if you need to fast or not. the lab where I want to, made me fast. or call the lab itself and ask. I know the lab said if Id idn't fast then they woudln't do the test? I have heard a couple people did not have to fast and both failed the 1 hour test, coincedence? I don't know. Really you had to drink the whole bottle the 1st time, not me, and I still think it is weird they had you do it so early. I was 22 -24 weeks before I got tested? Nothing really you can do, maybe try to limit carbs the day before?

Hi girls, Jenn- Great gift. I love the name...you know how much I love "y"'s in girls names! I actually wanted to change Yesenia's spelling to "Yesenya"but it costs a lot to change it...so we kept the traditional spelling. I like the way you spelled it b/c it would be cute to call her "Yanna" or "Ary". The y is such a versatile letter. I'm so sorry about the troubles that you had with the ladies. I can't imagine you being accused of being self-centered...you who made sure that my girls were safe on the play structure, even when you didn't even know me. I think you are very kind...and unfortunately, Milissa is probably a little envious of you and Jacque being pg and that may have caused her to feel resentment towards you both. I hope she gets her bfp soon and that she is happier b/c of it. I feel for her, b/c TTC is such an emotional rollercoaster.
Jacque- Hi girl, I'm sorry for you too about the whole Millissa thing. I can't believe she cussed at you so much. That's not very nice at all...and I thought she was so nice. I hope she feels better soon.
Diane- You look so cute in your pics.
