You girls are crackin' me up!!!! I am literally laughing out loud reading these posts from you girls!! I haven't even checked on the posts for the past few weeks. I know, I know, I'm sorry. I have still not gotten my energy back and if I have time to be home, I'm sleeping. I'm sorry, I'm just wiped out. It sounds like everything is going great with you both! Alisha, Yesenia and Abriyel look BEAUTIFUL in their pictures! Abri looks so big already and it sounds like Yesenia is doing great with being a big sister. It bout makes me cry because that's almost exactly how old Scottie will be when the baby is born. Crazy. I bet you're worn out, but loving it. Like Jacque said, no worries about the breastfeeding...I'm KNOW you have done the best that you can. It's no biggie! Jacque, I absolutely adored the picture of Kailey!!!! She looked so precious...I bet you guys were so proud! She too is looking so grown up! I'm so glad to hear that you are going to take a break for awhile. You are going to get there, girl. But, you might as well have fun doing it!! Everything here is great. I'm totally wiped out, though. I hardly worked while I was pregnant with Scottie and it's just hard working and having her and being pregnant. I had my 3rd prenatal on Friday, I was almost 15 weeks. I wasn't supposed to have an ultrasound until my next appointment at 18 weeks, but at the end of my appointment, she said, "feel like taking a peek?" Heck yeah! So, she went in and did the ultrasound, just for fun. And she said, "will your family be mad if they're not here to find out what you're having?" And I said," who cares?! I'm dying to know!" So, she was looking and looking, then finally, she could see the legs. She said "I don't like to say unless I'm 100% sure, but I'm almost positive it's a boy!!!!!" And I swear, ya'll, I saw it too. She said she'll do another ultrasound at my next appointment, but it has to be..I saw it!! Woo hoo! I'm ecstatic! To answer your questions, I would like to have 3, but Scott and I agreed on 2 a long time ago. So, this will probably be our last. Although we've talked about adopting sometime. So, we think the name is West. We both like it and we have a hard time agreeing on names. Also, I gained 4 pounds since my last appointment, but I'd lost 4 pounds since my first. So, I'm technically even. I'll send you those pictures on your emails. You won't believe how huge my belly is. But, since I'd lost weight everywhere else, I had to go get new pants because my other ones were falling off. I bought a size small maternity jeans! I'm psyched! Anyway, enough about me. I'll check in later with you gals! Love you both! em

I only have a second, they are in the process of updating our internet service, they are totally redoing their set up and re configuring all of the servers.... translation - Jacque keeps getting kicked off the net and she is going from withdrawal because she cannot talk with her online friends!!!!!!! I am gonna post this now, and try to do personals, if you do not here from me it means I got kicked off the net AGAIN and I am banging my head against the wall!!!!

Emily, lol I was just looking at your photos again and you know... for some reason I did not see all of them the first time I looked. I only had a few show up, now I have double what I had before... must have had something to do with my load time and and the amount of bandwidth I had available while they were working on my internet... ANYWAY. I love the one with your daughter in her little butterfly wings and the little ballerina skirt... now as for the photos of you, the one in the white shirt, you look awesome!!! I love your hair!!! You look adorable. The one with the pink shirt on is the one that you look so tired in. I hope this passes soon, it would suck if you were this tired the entire pregnancy! Love and hugs! Jacque

Hi girls, Emily- Hey girl, it was so fun to hear from you. I am so happy for you that you are having a boy. You must be so excited! Either way would be great. Scottie will be such a great big sis. I love Yesenia even more seeing how great of a big sister she is. She's so protective of her baby sissy and it makes me so proud. I can't flippin' believe you are already almost half way there. Your pregnancy is FLYING! That's how mine was, huh? I love the name West. IT sounds adorable. I haven't had time to check my email, but I'll let you know if I don't get the pics. Thanks for the consolation about b/f. Jacque- You should almost be ready to test huh? I know you're not temping and stuff, but I'm sure you're still gonna' poas if you are late, right? When are you officially late? That is so wonderful about your friend Jennifer getting her BFP after 2 years! I've been following her on this site and I've really felt for her in her struggle for that BFP. WHat wonderful news! I also think Kailey is DARLING! What a little princess. She's looks so mature! I will send updated pics when I get a chance, but I'm so incredibly busy. It is so much more work with two little ones around the house.
So, Serge and I have been talking a lot lately, and we're thinking we might actually be done having babies. I have secretly been feeling that way for awhile now. This recovery has been EXTREMELY hard on me. I don't know if you can telll or not by my posts, but I've been having a lot of depression...not about my beautiful, precious, angel daughters...but with myself. Since Serge and I got married in 2000, I've gained 89 pounds. I am almost 90 pounds overweight, and I just don't know if I can go through another pregnancy. Please don't think I'm selfish...I love my girls more than anything in the whole world and I would die before I'd ever trade either of them in. I don't blame my weight gain on them at all, but I just feel like I can't take losing it and gaining it all back again. It's not even about my vanity, but about my health. Being this overweight is very dangerous for me and I just don't want to live like this anymore. I can't take it. I want to feel good about myself again and have energy to play with my girls. I want to feel attractive for my husband...even though he says I'm beautiful now. I don't feel that way, and I just don't feel healthy. I want to live a long and healthy life with my two beautiful daughters and my wonderful, loving husband. My grandmother died at 59 years old. She was really overweight, like me and it makes me afraid to have the same thing happen. I'm going to be 30 this year, and I don't want that for my future. So, anyways, I'm seriously considering sticking with my two beautiful girls. Serge and I are so happy with them and we both feel that our family couldn't possibly get any better or more complete. He really wants to stick with two. He's more convinced than I am. I'm not going to do anything drastic like get my tubes tied, and I'm going to give it time. After I lose the weight I want to lose, then I'll consider getting pg again. If I don't want to, then we won't. Do you think I'm selfish now? I hope not.
Abriyel and Yesenia are both doing great as usual. Yesi is shopping with Grandma Karen right now at Walmart and Abri is sleeping. I'm getting ready to go reserarch Nutrisystem and Jenny Craig. My baby has been cooing for 2 weeks now and it is absolutely adorable! She smiles like crazy and she is a major daddy's girl. It's kind of fun that way b/c Yesi is SO a momma's girl. We each get one. I think that's why it was so emotional for me being pg with Abri. I didn't want to let my baby go. Abri loves her momma too, but gets very happy to see daddy. Well, you two take care. Alisha

Hi girls,
Jacque- WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU? ARE THEY STILL UPDATING YOUR INTERNET? You are never gone longer than me. I hope all is okay. When are you testing? Where are you at in your cycle? My sister in law was due to deliver her baby on the 10th, so the poor thing is just suffering. It's over 90 degrees today too. That's hot for ORegon at this time of year.
Emily- I hope all is well with you. What did your hubby think about having a boy? I'm sure he was thrilled!
Milissa- Thanks for the advice. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go with Nutrisystem though, b/c I have about 90 pounds to lose. Thanks for the concern too, but I don't have post partum. I'm a VERY happy person, other than the fact that I'm depressed big time about my weight. It has NOTHING to do with my children or my husband though. I'm thrilled with that part of my life. You're sweet to care about a complete stranger though.
Alisha

Well I went through the same thing after I had my son!! I loved him alot and my family but my depression was intfering with my family AND It was Post-partum! and I two told the doctor SHE was crazy I'm a happy person I love my son and family But IT WAS Me that I did not like and I took my depression out on..... I'm not pointing fingers at you Just don't want you to over look it!! and I have heard good things about Nutrisystem* the only reason I told you about SlimQuick* is it has all kinds of Vits and ALSO HORMONAL balance complex in it! I have always been a little off I get it from my mothers side of the family.... and it has helped with my depression problem around A/F time. O' did I mention It helps with that extra bloating you get around Ovulation time and A/F. it also has cleared up my ance Good Luck and I wish you the best.... and please please DON"T over look the depression at times you feel good then most other times you feel like a roller coaster YOU JUST HAD A BABY GIRL!!! Give yourself a little Credit okay"

HI Milissa, Thanks again for the response. I will keep an eye on the depression thing. I am really excited about Nutrisystem, and I appreciate the advice about Slimquick. I didn't mean to sound like I don't. I'm just excited about it being all prepared for me. Right now, that's what I need. I can't start it yet though, b/c it costs about 280/month, and I'm on maternity leave. I will start after Serge gets paid for summer school (end of July.) I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Millissa. You sound like a real sweety. Alisha

Alisha ~ I just saw a report on the news saying that alot of outdoor playsets have been recalled for defective bolts. I noticed that the one you bought was one that they showed. They had a number you can call for free replacement bolts, it is 1-800-856-4445. Just wanted to make sure you knew about the recall!!! I would hate for one of your daughters to get hurt playing it it!

Hi girls, Jenn, You are such a sweety for being concerned about my girls. I was told about the recall before I purchased it. The salesperson at WalMart told me that mine already had the replacement bolts put in it. So, we are safe. Thanks for your concern though. How's the pregnancy going? How are you feeling?
Milissa- I would love a weight loss buddy. Please be mine. I'm trying to decide what I'm going to do in the interum until I can afford Nutrisystem. Congrats on your weight loss girl. That's great! I can't wait to get this weight off. After I had Yesenia, I lost 81 pounds, but it took me a couple of years. I wasn't really trying until about a year and a half after she was born though. Anyways, when I got pg with Abri, I gained 47 pounds, so I've got a long way to go. I want to lose 89 pounds. I can't wait to get started. I'm going to make myself a weight loss tracker soon. I think I will start with what I weighed when I gave birth, b/c I've lost 20 pounds since then. We'll see.
Jacque- I hope to hear from you soon. Can't wait to hear if you are pg or not. How long are you planning on skipping the temps?
Emily- How are you feeling hon. I am so excited for you that you are having a boy. I think you wanted one, so I'm glad. Hope all is well with your fam.
Love, Alisha

Alisha ~ I'm glad that you already knew about the recall, but I just wanted to make sure! i am a worrier so i would have been worrying that you didn't know if I wouldn't have posted! Things with the pregnancy are going pretty well so far. I've had a really sore throat since Thursday or Friday and it is getting really bad. I have been up the last 2 nights coughing untli like 3 am because I can't stop coughing long enough to fall asleep. I wish I knew if there was something I could take but I dont think there is. I did take 1 regular strength Tylenol this evening because I have a horrible headache from coughing and I was hoping it would take the edge off alittle bit. That is the only thing I was told that I can take. Other than the sore throat and headache, things are really great. I've only had alittle bloating and cramping. I am sure that this isnt going to last long though and I am going to have m/s before I know it! I've got a class type thing that Quentin and I have to go to in the morning at the clinic on base. It is to tell us about our options and such since I can't get OB care on base. Not sure what else it is about. We have to be there at 8:45 and it wont be over until around 10. Then we have to go pick up our friend so Quentin can take him back to work. I will probably be back around 11 or noon.

I was going back and forth about weather I should do personals first or if I should go right into what has been going on here..... it has been a while since I have filled you all in so I will start with me. Just a waring, I am posting this in all of my buddy groups so it might sound a little "generic" but that way I will have time to get to personals.
I caved and looked at my chart... today is CD 28, so if AF is going to show then it is going to be tomorrow. Part of me wants to test, but the other part says no.... so I will wait and see. Maybe I will wait until Friday to test that way I would be late. We did not baby dance much this month, we did the day of O and the day after.... but this is a hard month for us with the anniversary of mom's death and the m/c so we kinda just went with the flow.
I am not going to start charting again until after the summer is over. Work is super busy for me over the next few months, and if I do not chart it will be one less thing I have to keep track of. I know my cycles are normal and regular so I do not feel the need to chart as much. I will keep somewhat track of where I am at just to be sure that I am getting some sweet lovin in at the right time... but that will be it until after August. If we do not have a BFP by then I will chart for 3 months and then go to the DR to see what is next. At that time we will have been TTC for one year after the m/c (that is figuring in our "break").
I am completely finished with my Day Care inspection and license renewal, and I passed EVERYTHING with a 100%!!! I have NEVER done that before and needless to say I am so thrilled and at the risk of sounding cocky and arrogant (which I sooo am) I am very proud of myself and the kids!!!!
I am also back to exercising and losing weight (as of last Wednesday), I fully plan on being the rock for Alisha while she is taking off her weight also, she and I will be total weight loss buddies.... and anyone can feel free to join us. I am going to start a weigh in thread so people can cheer her and I on. Anyone who wants to join us can. I know that we have about 5 ladies that will be popping babies out soon... I hope by the time they are ready to start losing weight then Alisha and I will be about halfway to our goal.
Lets see...... there is only 7 more days of school and then it is finally summer! I cannot wait to have the kids here all day every day, but it will be busy. We are taking two vacations... one is next week we are going to Ohio for my cousin Aimee's wedding and I am soooo excited! Kailey is in it and she is going to look beautiful! We are also going to see PEARL JAM on the 29th of next month!!! As most of you know I have two totally insane obsessions... first there is Harry Potter (jen, what book are you on now?) and second is PEARL JAM!!!!! They are playing with Tom Petty so I am sooooo excited. It is going to be fricken awesome!
What else...... oh, my friend Kim was in the hospital, I am not going to retype all of the details, but I have a tread about her in the Prayer Request if you wanna check that out. She is getting better... but still in need prayer!
Girl Scouts is also going good (it has replaced the AOH) we had our second meeting last week and our next meeting is just right around the corner. I love working with the girls and they have so much energy... it is great. I know that this is going to be alot of fun and plus I have a great co-leader... she and I are going to be really good friends, we are soooo much alike.
Last but not least, my Special Olympics team is going to STATE!!!! WooHoo! Over half of our athletes qualifies and I am sooo proud of them. They have had such a great year and have worked so hard in practice... they so deserve this, I only wish they all could go.
Oh.. one more thing, I have some new family photos. I will post them for you to see... then Jennifer is going to make me an awesome siggy so I can display them all of the time.
Ok... time for personals! I am so happy I was able to get on the net today, I thought I was going to have to wait until tomorrow!!!
Jacque
