Jacque - I'm so glad you had a good appt! I would love to have my baby on Monday. She has taken over my pelvic floor and I'm in PAIN! It feels like my pelvic bones are seperating and like her head is resting on my cervix, although doc says nothings going on down there, so I have no idea why I feel like this, but I want it to stop! Yeah, and working is really hard when I'm in pain every day. My leave won't start until the doc puts me on bedrest or I go into labor.
Jennifer - that clothes is so cute! And again, I'm sorry to hear about your cousin.

Hi girls, Sorry I've been mia...but I'm getting a computer this weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For real this time, and I can't FLIPPIN' wait. I'm back to work now though, so I probably won't be posting like crazy for awhile, at least until I get my classroom in control. I am mentoring a new teacher in my building this year, so I'm going to be extra busy. I am taking my position very seriously, b/c I didn't get enough help when I was a new teacher, so I'm going to be sure to help her. Things are great with us. I've lost 15 pounds since I started Nutrisystem (3 weeks ago.) I'm losing weight too fast, and I'm not complaining, but that is a little too fast for my comfort. I have decided to follow their principles and lose the weight on my own. I'm very confident that I can do it, b/c I lost 81 pounds on my own last time, so I know that I can lose 65 pounds by myself this time. I'M SO EXCITED!!! I'll keep you all posted. Abri, Serge and Yesenia are doing great! The girls love their new baby sitter, and the baby sitter loves them. She truly is a blessing to our family. Abri is getting so big and developing such a personality. She says, "Da Da," "Ba ba" and "ah goo." I'm trying to teach her to say, "ma ma" but that will be awhile. Of course she doesn't know what she's saying, but it's really cute. Yesi is starting swimming lessons next week, and we're all really excited about that. My mom owns property that includes a beautiful private swim hole, so next summer she may actually be able to swim. Serge is back to work with me and we're both actually relieved. I was so upset about going back that I'm kind of glad to have it over with. It's not as bad as I thought it would be. And once the students get here, next Tuesday, I will be more happy. Now for personals... Jenn- I'm so sorry about your cousin. That is such an unfair and terrible thing. I will be thinking about her and your family. I'm happy to hear that Amelia is home though. Yeah! I just knew she'd be fine. I can't see the baby's clothes on my cpu at work b/c all images are blocked due to it being a school. That's good though, b/c about 7 years ago, one of my students accidentally pulled up a porn site and got an eye full of more than he bargained for. I can't believe you are already more than half way through your pg.
Jacque- I'm sorry I've been mia for so long. I miss you and can't wait to be able to keep in touch. You sucka' I can't believe you are going to find out. I so hoped that you would wait so that we could share that experience together. Oh well, I understand. Remember when I was waiting and I told you, "If you really can wait it out, I will be shocked b/c it is SO MUCH HARDER THAN YOU CAN EVER IMAGINE!!!" I had a feeling that it would be tough, b/c it was so tough for me. Well, I'm so excited to hear what the baby is. I just can't wait. I'm still guessing girl, and hoping for one for you, b/c as Amanda can second, HAVING 2 GIRLS IS THE BEST!!! Linda & Diane- I can't believe that you two are getting so close to your due dates! I'm sorry you're uncomfortable. I can totally relate, b/c I was so uncomfortable as well. Kris- It was fun to hear from you. I'm sure Sara is beautiful. 3 months almost already!!! That is crazy! Is she wanting to eat solids yet? My baby started wanting them at 2 1/2 months this time. She would start pretending to chew, and suck on her fist and make little complaining noises when we were eating dinner. It was so cute. Amanda- Where are you girl? I miss hearing from you.

Hi girls! So sorry that I haven't posted. I am just so so busy (I know, no excuses). We are all doing great. Lexi is 10 weeks old and thriving. She was 12 lbs 3 oz and 24 inches at her 8 week appt. She had to get 4 shots and didn't cry until the last one, and only for like 30 seconds. She's really a talkative little thing and coos all the time. She started laughing this week and is really starting to like to play with toys. She bats at them and gets so excited and kicks her feet and waves her arms, it is really just too cute! We had our first trial day with the new babysitter yesterday and it went really well. She had both girls for 4 hours along with her 9 month old and she said it was actually a lot easier than she thought it would be. I pray that it will continue to work out, since we have such a unique situation and require really long days, although only 6 days a month. It's really hard to find someone willing to do it (for a reasonable amount of money). I didn't fall apart either like I thought I would having to leave Lexi. I think it put my mind at ease knowing that her big sister was with her so she would have a familiar face. So back to work I go on September 12th. I know it will be really hard since the hours are long and I'm still breastfeeding. I have to go out to my car to pump. It was really a hassle when I did it when Abbie was a baby. I was never able to pump as often as I needed to. Jacque-I think I updated you in my last email, but all I can add is that I'm sooo excited that you're finding out the sex of your baby! I just know it's a girl, besides we only have girls on this board anyway. It's the Chatterbox curse (not that it's a curse, girls are awesome!) Alisha-I'm so happy that you've been able to lose weight. I am going to do Weight Watchers once I can get in to see my doc. You have to get a Dr's note to do it if you are breastfeeding. You are so lucky that you've found someone you like so much to watch your girls. It makes it much easier to work when you know your kids are being well taken care of. Kris-I'd LOVE to see pictures of Sara! She sounds like such a little doll. Have you found another job closer to home? Or have you even had the time to look yet? Jennifer-I'm so sorry for your cousin, that is just awful. It's really hard to lose a baby, not to mention 2, especially since she was so far along. She's in my prayers. Good news that Amelia was able to come home though! Linda and Diane- The countdown is on, who will deliver first? Isn't funny how badly you wanted to be pg before you were, and now all you want is to NOT be pregnant? At least that's how it was for me. Hey anyone have a MySpace account? I try to keep updated pics on mine. Here's my URL www.myspace.com/nurseamanda78Love to all! Amanda

Okay girls....I am so sorry that I haven't been posting much. I know I should be posting more! Anyways, I had a really nice weekend planned only for it to end up being bad in the end. Since Quentin had Friday and Monday off, we decided to invite a few (3) of his friends down for the weekend and to cookout on Sunday with them. So they were supposed to be at our house around lunchtime on Friday, but didnt show up until about 10 at night. Wouldnt have been bad except, we cancelled our plans for the day because we were expecting them so we sat around all day until about 7 when I told Quentin that he better take me to dinner then because if I had to wait on them to show up before we went I was going to lose it! So they come over after we get back from dinner (5 of them.....not 3) and they decide they want to go out to the bar. Find with me, then they decide they want Quentin to go with them. Which leaves me home alone! So I tell him to go anyways, they end up leaving at midnight and I go to bed around 1. Then they come back at 3:30 and are being all loud and woke me up like 8 times. I got all pissed and slammed the bedroom door because I was so tired and all the noise was keeping me up. So they go to bed around 4:30 and when Quentin came to bed I went off on him for like an hour for letting them be so loud and disrespecting me by doing that. On Saturday, they were all supposed to get up and go to Charleston for the day because Quentin and I had planned to take the dog to the groomers and go shopping all day. As it ends up they stay at our house until 7 Saturday night before they leave. So they leave and Quentin and I go grocery shopping to get stuff for our BBQ. We get back and I stay up preparing things until about 12:30 before going to bed. At 7:30 on of the guys calls and said that they (all of them) weren't coming for the barbeque anymore because they were up all night and were just then going to bed. PISSED OFF AGAIN!!! We had bought all the food and prepared more than 1/2 off it and now they arent coming! Well then Quentin calls them back around 3:30 to see if they are coming or not and tells them he is pissed at them. They decide to come and we make the BBQ for dinner instead of lunch time. By the time they get here it is pouring the rain outside so we have to BBQ inside (so now we have 12 people because they bring even more people with them!). We had a good time eating and playing games. Then they all go out to the carport to listen to music and smoke. By 11:30, I was ready for bed so I told Quentin to tell them to either come in and go to bed or turn the music off and be quiet until they decided to come to bed. They did really well that night and didnt wake me up at all so I was finally happier with them. Then they ended up leaving around 2 on Monday afternoon. I was sooo happy to see them leave! Quentin and I were finally able to go shopping and catch the sales we wanted to go to on Saturday! And also were able to go to bed at a decent hour last night!!!
Anyways, sorry for the venting but I was so steamed!!! Things are better now!
Jacque - Glad your appointment went well!!! Not sure if I posted since then or not! I cant wait to find out what you are having!!! I am STILL trying to set up my 20 week u/s with our Dr's office!! They never answer their phone and havent called me back yet! Stupid radiology department! I will see what the Dr can do about it on Friday at my appointment! Hopefully they get me in that day!
Alisha - YAY!!! Finally getting a new computer!!! I hope you are able to check in more often now! You are doing great on the weight loss!!! Glad the girls like their new sitter! Sounds like she is great for your family! Thanks for the prayers for my cousin!
Amanda - I added you to my MySpace. I hope your new sitter works out for you. I am sure it is hard to find someone who is willing to watch them for some many hours but not a lot of days each month! Thanks for the the prayers for my cousin too!!!
Linda - Wow!!! You really did pop!!! You look great though!!!

Jennifer - Glad the people finally left, that would have drove me crazy. I get up enough on my own I don't need any help from others,. Amanda - you are so right, right now it feels like the 2WW while TTC. analyzing any wierd feeling, checking CM just to see if you are progressing at all. I have a feeling she is comfortable and planning on staying in the tummy for awhile longer. Next appt doc said we will talk aobut howto evict her, depends on if I am progressing any. Right now, she is still floating around and not making me dilate at all. Linda - cute pics

Linda - Love the pictures!!!
Diane - Still hangin in there? When is your next appointment?
Jacque - Where are you? Hope you are doing okay. When are we going to get to see your next belly pic?

Hi ladies!!!!!!!!!!!! Amanda I have a myspace too that's cool I could talk to you on there to. Do you go on alot? Happy to hear the baby is doing great and is getting big. I can't believe our babies are going to be 3 months this Sept how fast time flies. Alisha Yes Sara is like chewing and also putting her hands in her mouth every moment she can it's really cute. She loves to eat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe Abri is going to be 6 months already WOW and is saying a few words I can't wait until Sara says mama & dada. Jacque how is everything with you? I read some of the posts and I see you will find out the sex that is great I couldn' wait to find out?

Hey girls...just wanted to update after my appointment today. I have gained alittle over 5 pounds since my last appointment (6 weeks ago) and apparently my Dr wasn't too happy about it. He said I should have only gained about 3 pounds in that time. And I am measuring about 4 weeks ahead, so he is sending me for ANOTHER 3-hour GD test on Monday morning. Apparently passing 1 of them isnt good enough because he swears I am going to have GD sometime during this pregnancy. He says with my family history that i tis about a 90% chance I will develop it. Aryanna's heartbeat was in the 150s, just like it has been the whole time, so that is good. I have my next appointment on Sept. 21st. I wont be seeing my regular doctor though because he didnt have any open appointments until the afternoon of he 22nd and by then we will be on the road to Ohio. Since I am going to be away for 5 weeks he wants me to see a Dr right before I leave and then again once I get back.

sorry you have to take another 3 hour test, but it is better to be safe than sorry. I always measured big also and never had GD.

Jennifer: I know I already posted a novel to you on the 2007 mommas board, but I forgot a few things..... Have you felt baby move yet? I have been feeling movements about 10 times a day, but they say you feel it alot sooner with your second baby. Also... have you gotten your heart monitor to work yet? I know you tried it a few times but were having trouble with it. I have the same kind and still cannot get mine to work, and Alisha had that brand too... she never got hers to work. Your belly pic is great, you look so cute and I love the pink shirt! Diane: You need to check in, are you having your baby today? Linda: Did you have a good weekend? Anything exciting happen??? -- I was just looking at your belly progression and your belly is growning.... but holy cow your boobs are HUGE!!!! --- I love the new pregnancy photos, Mike wants me to take some too. Especially since I do not have many pics of me when I was pregnant with Kailey. Kris: I love your my space page. I cannot believe how big Sara is getting!!! She is just beautiful. I am so glad you posted your my space account, that way I can keep up on all the new pics of your precious little angel. Amanda: I will respond to your email on Monday (I hope) but for now I wanted to let you know that I will be breaking the girl trend. In less then 19 days I will be finding out I am having a BOY!!!! Alisha: Yesi is going to love swimming lessons. It is good to start her out now, Kailey has a fear of water that we are slowing overcoming. I wish we would have started her in swimming lessons when she was Yesi's age. --- Congrats on the weight loss, 15 pounds in 3 weeks is alot. I am glad you are going to do things more on your terms, I do not want you getting sick! --- I am so happy that you are getting a computer, THANK GOD!!!!! Now you can go on and on about my pregnancy with me and obsess that soon I will be having my ultrasound! I am so having a boy!!!!! --- I am glad things are going well with your new sitter and that you are back to work and happy with the transition. Now.... all I need is photos of those sweet little princesses!!! As for me, I have a ton of Internet catching up to do. I fell behind this week because I spent the majority of my free time typing up my Maternity leave notice to all of my day care parents. That way they all know well in advance what my plans are when it comes to leave. I will be taking about 4-6 weeks off, unless I have a c-section. Which I am praying that I don't! I am feeling better, have not puked all week. My next appointment is in 9 days, and within 9 days from that I will have my big ultrasound..... so, within 18 days I will know if I am going to have a boy or a girl. Mike and I were talking about finding out the gender again yesterday and Kailey walked in. She told us that we are going to find out (we keep changing our minds) and that is all there is to it. She said she can not handle all of this back and forth about finding out the gender. Then she told us that our third baby's gender can be a surprise. Nice to know that she has it all figured out for us. Well, we had a soccer game to go to yesterday at 8am then at 10am we had a football game. Then Kailey and I took down the crib we have and put it in the attic with the other one we cannot use. So now we have two cribs in our attic that we do not have all of the parts for. We have not done any shopping for baby lately, so my guess is that we will hold off a bit longer and not even look for a crib (or anything else) until after we know the gender. So, we will be registering for a baby shower, buying for baby, and Christmas shopping all during the months of October, November, and December. I think we will be gone almost every weekend!!! I hope I can handle it, I will be kicking myself if we have to do it all on line. Fantasy football also started this week, we now have a 12 team league, and I am still the only girl. Now I am the pregnant girl, I guess it will make it all that much more humiliating for the guys when my team kicks their butts. So far this week I am winning (because the opening game between Pittsburgh and Miami was on Thursday) so I hope this is a sign of good things to come. Mike and I both play on this league (it is a group of his friends) and the super-bowl winners gets 300$ and the other team that makes it to the super-bowl gets 200$, considering that baby is due right around super-bowl time it would be really nice if one (or both) of us made it to the big game this year. Ok, that is all for now. I am going to go eat some pumpkin bread. Jacque

Jacque - I hope you win some $$$ that would be awesome!
nope, no baby yet. Have a doc appt today, so hopefully I will hear I am making some progress so Natalie can be born soon. Yesterday, I was having some contrax and was hoping it was the real thing but no such luck. seems like I get them after eating, maybe it is my body's way of saying eat little your little one is arriving soon.
Hello everyone!
