Alisha: You are so funny! I was laughing so hard I was crying by the time I got to the end of your post. --- Yep, it does just seem like you were talking about GLAD, but then again.... it seems like forever ago too. I hope and pray the next year goes by that fast for me too. I am already have trouble remembering how far along I am because the days keep running together. It does not help that I am sleeping ALOT. --- I also took my weightloss ticker down, I am not going to worry about my weight, I am just going to keep the "bad for you" foods down to a minimum. That has not been an issue either because I am just not Hungry.. not sick, just not hungry so I have to force myself to eat and they I get sick because I am forcing myself to eat. Don't get me wrong, i love the fact that I feel this way!!!! --- Before I forget... I just updated the CD tracker so all of the info is correct, I just hate having you disappointed in me. lol Emily: It is about time for you to check in again!!!! I want you to get excited with me and Alisha... it is offical, all three of us have our BFP's!!! As for me...... It is hard to explain how I feel at this time. I am so unbelievably happy that we are going to have a baby. I am so nervous that something will happen and we will once again have a miscarriage. I am so positive that nothing will happen. I am so happy that I am constantly tired, moody, hungry, sick...... I know that all of this is normal, but I cannot wait until we have our first ultrasound and we see our little baby's heartbeat. We have an appointment scheduled for July 6th at 4:30, from what I understand I will have an internal exam and also have a sonogram so we can get to see our little baby. Seeing the baby's heartbeat and making it to the 9th week will do so much for my nerves!!!! We had our first appointment on Tuesday, Mike and Kailey both came with. I basically just took a test and had some blood work done. It was very routine, but very exciting to get to see an official "BFP" at my Dr's office. I also weighed in and had my blood pressure checked and both my weight and blood pressure were perfect. Our original goal was to have my exam and ultrasound done at Tuesday's appointment, but there was a very pregnant woman who was upstairs ready to push.... so our DR. had to cut the appointment short. Actually to everyone's surprise I was completely ok with that, the way I saw it was if we wait until my 8th week to see the baby then at that time we will definitely be able to see his heartbeat and he will even have his little arm and leg buds! On Tuesday he would have just looked like a dot and there was a chance that we would have not seen his heartbeat. Before leaving the nurse gave us a ton of magazines, samples of drinks, snacks, stretch mark cream, & nursing pads, and about 30 brochures and books on pregnancy - if she only knew how many books we already had on this topic. That is fine we me though, I love to read. I almost forgot... They gave me a prescription for Prenatal Vitamins, so no more Centrum with an extra does of Folic Acid. Anyway, the prenatals make me gassy... and when I burp it takes like popcorn. The nurse told me that was a side effect from these particular prenatals but I did not believe her until it happened! Well... that is all for now. Please keep our little baby in your prayers! Jacque

Hey girls,
Jacque- Okay Jacque...you forgot to tell me about how Kailey and Mike reacted...DETAILS WOMAN, DETAILS!...and don't even get me started on the missing BFP announcement on the "It's official..." board, and the "Vote on the gender for Jacque's baby" board. You are all bark and no bite. You said that you were going to drive us all crazy with your pregnancy stories, and...hmm...I'M NOT GOING CRAZY YET! On another topic...Hey, we need a new name...too bad I can't change it like I did over at FF. It should be, "2006-2007 mommas" now, or "Baby belly totin' mommas". Hee hee! I wonder where Emily is. Let's start talking bad about her, and then here ears will start burning and she'll come check in.
Emily- Where are you? Earth to Emily...please check in.
Alisha

I agree, we should change our name. I like both of your ideas, just let me know which one you like best and I will make the change... I can do that you know.... Ok, as for Mike and Kailey..... Mike was with me when I took the test, and well... we both knew it was going to be positive. So we saw the line hugged, cried, and went to bed. lol it was midnight and we got up just to test. Then the next morning Kailey came running into our room at about 8am telling me I needed to test. She went with me into the bathroom and after I Peed on the stick I set it on the side of the bathtub so she could watch for the second line. Well, she totally freaked out. Told me she was going to puke, that her stomach hurt and went to her room to be alone. I was sooo sad. Then about 2 HOURS latter she came out with a stack of baby books, and asked if she could start reading to my tummy like we did when I was pregnant with her. How awesome is that! Since then she is always reading to my belly, and talking to baby, and giving the baby hi fives, she will not kiss my belly though, she says that is toooooo weird. lol I went ahead and started a babies online website to track the progress of our pregnancy. Our web page address is: www.babiesonline.com/babies/k/kaileyssibling The site is password protected, so if you want to check it out let me know and I will send you the password. Jacque Jacque

HI girls, Jacque- Well, thanks for the details...it's about time. Ha Ha! Why did Kailey feel like she was going to puke? Do you think it was a little bit of uncertainess and possibly a tad of jealousy? I'm glad that she got over it quickly. It is hard sometimes for the little ones to accept and understand when mommy is having a baby. I deal with it all the time, being a 4th and 5th grade teacher. They are so excited for mommy to get pg, and then when she does it's like...wait a minute, where am I going to fit in? I think it really helped in our case to tell Yesi that Abri was "her" baby. She corrects people sometimes and tells them, "She's my baby too!" I'm so happy for you girl. That is a sweet story.
Millissa- Hey, I'm glad you're not beating yourself up over a couple of pounds. My weight loss is still compleatly at a plateau. I'm going to go to the Doctor if I don't start losing some more in a month. I'm concerned that it might be the pill, as I've said before. I'm excecising now, swimming, so that will probably help. Keep up the good work. How long have you been TTC again? I hope your BFP is coming right up.
As for us: I'm working this week doing my refresher for GLAD. I can't wait until Friday! It's hard to work when you've been off for 4 months, and you still have 2 more to go. THe money will be nice though, b/c hopefully I will be able to buy my computer with it. Yeah! Abri and Yesi are going to the babysitter. Their babysitter has been babysitting for 20 years, and she said, "I have never seen a little girl that was more proud, or loved her baby sister as much as Yesenia." Isn't that the sweetest thing? She makes me so proud b/c she is such a fantastic big sister, and person in general. I just love my girls so much, and I feel so blessed to have them both.
Love, Alisha

Alisha: What a wonderful thing for your day care provider to say! I can tell just how proud you are of your girls, you just gush in every post! --- I hope all went well, and that you got a nice big check for all of your work with the GLAD renewal. --- I think Kailey was a bit "sick" because it finally happened. For months we have told her about that moment and it finally happened..... so when it did happen, she really did not believe it or even know how to handle it.
EMILY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Where the heck are you?
As for me..... I am sick, tired, and loving every moment of it. Right now, watching the words appear on the screen as I type is just making me sick. So.... that is why I have not been on as much lately. But since, Mike is home today and I have no kids I figure I should check up on posts now because I can lay down afterwords! lol I have my next appointment on Thursday, I am praying for a sonorgram.... that way I can see my little baby's heartbeat. They give one around 8 weeks, and when I go in I will be 7 weeks 2 days, which technically means I am in my 8th week!

Where are my 2006 Mommies? ? I just realized that Emily still does not know that I am pregant!!!!!! Well, Morning sickness is still pretty bad, I really do not even leave the house other then to go to the Dr and to take Kailey to the library. I feel awful because I have a new baby and big sister gift to mail out to Amanda... but right now I do not have enough energy to tackel the post office. It is all well though, I know it is well worth it.... and the baby will not outgrow my gift for quite some time so there is no worry there either. The following was posted in my online journal.... to tired to retype it again, so I am just going to copy and paste.
Thursday was my Dr's appointment and my Pap test, Kailey and Mike both came with. We explained to Kailey that if she wants to be in the delivery room then she is going to need to go with to each Dr.'s visit, including the ones with vaginal exams, because hey... she has to get used to what the Dr's and nurses have to do "down there". Well, needless to say.... we prepped Kailey for what was to come. We explained exactly what the Pap test is and how they do it. We also explained that there was going to be a breast exam. Once the Dr went over our blood results (more about that later) he left the room and explained to Kailey that is was time for the pap test. Well, she was weirded out when I first started changing. But she was fine once I got the "robe" on. Soon after Dr. Leno and Nurse Tina came in. They started the exam and Kailey looked like she was paying attention. Well... at least that is what Mike said, I was to busy staring at the ceiling. Well, just about the time they insert the speculum Kailey says "wow" REALLY loud. Everyone turns to her, and then she says..... THEY HAVE REALLY BIG Q-TIPS HERE! It was beyond funny, EVERYONE thought she was going to say something about what the DR was doing, but no - Kailey thought the really big q-tips were cool because she had never seen one that was that big....... We all laughed though the rest of the procedure. Needless to say, Kailey proved to the DR that she was not at all weirded out with a strange man looking at her mom when she was practically naked. Which means.... she is one step closer to getting the ok to watch her baby brother or sister be born. So the appointment went well, we had no issues what-so-ever. My blood test all came back and they all were prefect. Dr Leno said that I had the highest antibodies for German measles that he has ever seen, which means only one thing.... I have had them at one time in my life, when I do not remember though. My RH antibodies are also where they should be, which is great because that means that my pregnancy will be a tad bit easier. I know I have been praying for an ultrasound, and I know that several of you wanted me to have one done more then ANYTHING.... but no such luck. Why? The Dr. said that everything looks perfect, and there is no reason to worry. Well, I will be (almost) worry free in about 10 more days! The best part is that our next appointment is when I am about 11 weeks, and then at 15 weeks... by my 15 week appointment we will hear the heartbeat!!! And soon after we will have our "big" ultrasound.... where we most definitely (well, probably) will not find out the gender of the baby.

Hey girls, Jacque- Have you emailed Emily? I can't believe she doesn't know about the pg yet? I wonder how far along she is now. I'm sorry that typing makes you so sick...sounds like another girl to me! It is so wonderful having two girls...just ask Amanda. I'm so excited for Kailey. What does she want the baby to be? And Mike? And mommy....no jk I know you're kinda' leaning towards boy. MIlissa- I will try to check out that page, if my time doesn't stinking run out on me. I'm only allowed one hour on this stinking library computer. Can you believe it? I'm sorry that it is taking you so long, but look at our friend Jacque! She's an inspiration. Emily- Where are you girl? I'm starting to get worried about you. I want to know how your pg is going.
Would you believe this? I showed up to drop my girls off to the babysitters for the last day of Glad training, (6/30) and she tells me that she is no longer doing daycare! I've had her for 2 years and have been paying to hold Yesi's spot for 5 months, and she gave me no notice whatsoever! I'm pissed at her, but in a way it is a blessing. The thing is we have been really concerned about the fact that she doesn't speak Spanish. In case you forgot, we are an innerracial couple, and we're both bilingual (Spanish/English) teachers, so we want our girls to be bilingual as well. We were concerned b/c all day long they'd be getting English only, and only get a little Spanish in the evenings with us. So, we found a new lady. Well, she's not really new to me. I have known her for two years b/c I taught her son for two years. She is an absolute dream-come-true! She is incredibly loving and patient and I have wanted her to be Yesi's provider since she was a baby, but I had a contract (long story) with the other provider. Anyways, she just happened to be available, and the best part is that she speaks Spanish only, and she only cares for her son and one other child, a two year old girl. Her son is the exact same age as Yesi, almost to the day, and I'm so excited for my girls to be around such a wonderful person. Her son was the most well-behaved student I've ever had, and now I will get to have a continued relationship with him even though he's going off to middle school. I'm so excited about this. Oh, and you won't believe it!!! When I asked her about the rate, she said, "Oh, whatever you feel is fair is fine with me!" So, I told her what I was paying my current provider, and would be paying for Abri as well, and she said that was more than enough! I couldn't believe it. What an answered prayer this has turned out to be. My girls just loved her when we went for our family interview, and she took right to them as well. As a matter of fact, when we were getting ready to leave, she said, why don't you leave Yesi here for awhile, (b/c we were going to WAl-Mart) so we did, and when we came back an hour later to pick Yesi up, she wanted to stay!@! God works in mysterious ways!
Abriyel turned 4 months old today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAn you even believe it? She is so stinking adorable, and everywhere we go people stop us to goo goo and ga ga over her incredible amount of thick, black bouncing curls. She is a beautiful baby. I can't even wait to show her off with new, updated photos, but it will be awhile, at least until I can get my own computer. She has her 4 month checkup this Thursday, and I'm guessing she'll weigh in at around 18 pounds! She's HUGE! She can already wear 6-9 month clothes! That is crazy for me, b/c Yesenia was off the charts b/c she was so tiny. Abri is an eating machine...now eating rice and oatmeal, carrots, peas, applesauce and bananas. I feed her twice a day, along with her milk. She's a major momma's girl now, and I just love it. She cracks up laughing, can roll over both from tummy to back and back to tummy...and for that reason, she is now sleeping on her tummy, a fact that makes momma very nervous. She throws a massive fit though, until I put her on her tummy, b/c in the middle of the night I guess she's too lazy to roll her self over, so now we're just giving in and putting her there to begin with. She has also been standing...can you believe this one....if we hold her fingers, she can stand for a LONG time and she holds all her own weight. My guess is that she'll be walking by 8 months. Yesi didn't walk until 14 months, but talked very early. Abri and Yesi are polar opposites in everything, exept looks. I swear, it looks like I went back and had the same baby again. I will have to post baby pics of Yesi too, so you can see what I"m talking about. I'm doing alright too. I've decided to go ahead and start Nutrisystem after all. I'm starting at the end of the month, and I can't wait! I'm hoping to lose between 75-85 pounds in about a year. I thing it's doable. What do you think?
Take care all, Alisha

Ladies: Aalissa is no longer a member of the Chatter box. She has just posted a nasty post in regards to several of the members (including the ladies on the board) and how she feels about them. This post along with her account has been deleted and she has been notified about how I feel. If you would like to see the original post I will send you a PM.
Thanks for your understanding.

Alisha: I have two things to say to you...... #1 I cannot wait until you can check in more and #2 I need new photos of the girls. If you can, mail them to me (you know, the old fashion way... it will take forever using the post office, but then I can post them and I will even mail them back to you if you want!)!!!! I also just heard from Emily, she sent me an email and asked me to forward it to you. That is on my to do list for this weekend. I actually do not feel to bad today, but then again it is only 7:49 am! She sent me an email to look at her vacation photos (as always she, her hubby, and daughter look beautiful) and then I responded with an email telling her she needs to check the site out... because I am pregnant! She emailed me back... and I will forward all of this to you so you are up to date also. --- As for baby, I change my mind on a daily basis... somedays I want a boy and others I want a girl... today is a girl day! Kailey is still holding out for twins which is still a possibility because we still have not had an u/s... and I do not think Mike cares one way or another. At least he does not seem to. I am still having trouble feeling that this is real. I am showing, I am sick, I am tired, I am late.... and somedays I think that this is all to good to be true. So, I am really excited for my next appointment, I will be in my 12th week and I am praying that DR Leno will try to hear the baby's heartbeat. Can you believe I am in my 10th week.... that means that I am already 1/4 of the way done with my pregnancy!!!! --- I LOVE that things worked out with Day Care. DUH, how can I forget that you are a biracial couple, it has been a few weeks since you posted not a few years you dork!!! I am thrilled that the girls love it there and it sounds like it will be a wonderful opportunity (especially educational) for both of them. NOW, do you ONLY speak Spanish at home, or both, or mainly English? --- WooHoo on the Nutrisyustem. EVERY TIME I seen a Nutrisystem commercial I think of you, not that I think you are fat... because I don't, but because you talk about it all of the time. How good is the food? Is it cost effective? Do you find yourself feeling "put out" having to make your meal and then a separate meal for Serge and the kids? Do you find yourself snacking on the food you make for them? ? --- I am also an Aunt!!!! My little sister Meghan delivered Baby Alex was on Wednesday July 12th at 2:39am. He was born at 30 weeks (10 weeks premature), she carried him about 10 weeks longer then she carried Christian. Baby Alex is doing GREAT!!!! He weighs 3 pounds 3.9 ounces and is 16 inches long. He is breathing filtered air on his own. He will be in the NICU until his vitals are all stable, then will move to the nursery until he is able to regulate is body temp, can eat on his own, and has gained some weight.... then soon after he will sent home. Right now we are assuming he will go home before his original due date which was the middle to end of September. The Doctors have told Meghan that Alex is truly a miracle and that he is doing better then they could have possibly expected. Please continue to keep them in your prayers!!!!! OH FYI, Meghan is also in a biracial relationship but they do not speak Spanish at home. Did you speak Spanish when you met Serge, or did you learn after you met him. I think that is wonderful that you are raising the girls with both cultures, I hope that Meghan and Cruz go that route too!!! Emily: Just in case you pop in to read... you have to be a member now to post I will send you and email explaining it all, but we had some issues with someone who is now a NON member, and we had to do something to keep her from posting here. She was getting pretty lude and mean. Do not worry, I will set it up so you can post here, it will just take me a few days. Ok that is all for now... I have more catching up to do! Jacque PS: Alisha GET your ass back to work so you can buy a computer. lol Just kidding....
