Hi I'm hoping that i'm pregnant now but we will see with 2 of my others i didn't get a positive tell well after 2 months along !! but i'm sure i am i just hate waitting for the "positive result"
What is a ppaf? you have a wonderfull family!!!I love your picture!!

Wow, that would be great! I hope you are!! I can't imagine the agony of waiting until 2 months along to get a bfp!!! Ppaf means post-partum aunt flo I am exclusively breastfeeding and usually takes awhile for af to come back for me as a result. Thank you for your comment on my picture. Also, I see you live in Washington. My mom lives there (Colville-NE corner).

Hi, I live in spokane !! yes it is awful waiting that long for the bfp!!
With my last one they told me i wasn't preg. i took the hpt then later went for the blood test i even had a biopsy of my cervix!!! they told me that i wasn't they did'nt do another test and i ended up at the dr. with a cold went just for antibiotics they went ahead and did a blood test i don't remember why i told him we had been trying (it was a walkin clinic) but i wasn't but in 15 min. he told me i was later we found out that i was about 8 weeks!!! soo i did the hpt 2 weeks ago and it was neg. but i don't believe it i also am doing the craving food thing but not just a little pms craving like omg that is the best ruben sandwich that was ever made and my bb went up a whole size ant etc any way the waiting is awful we are hopeing for this one and right after 1 more so we will see! I could be wrong about being prego right now but i highly dought it. are you hoping to ttc soon or are you waitting?

Wow, I can't believe you had to go through all that to find out you were pregnant!! What a shock!!! I hope all of your symptoms turn out to be another bfp!!! Do you usually get morning sickness?

I am not trying right now as not ovulating due to breastfeeding. I am going to breastfeed at least a year and hopefully will get af back sooner than I did last time (at 20 month post partum). I am 37, so don't have too much time to waste if I want another one.

Hi Good Morning! I just got my kiddos off to school lol I was homeschooling for 2 years we just bought a home. And the new schools so far seems to be really good! I have a son with Ld, and my 7 yr old has Aspergers Syndrome and they have a great program for him I thought he wouldn't adjust well but was I wrong it seems to be the greatest thing for him!!
HOw do you do christmas if you don't mind me asking? it is getting so expensive and with just buying a house we are really tight. last yr for our "big" family gift we got a big screen t.v (that we are still paying for
We can't do any thing like that i was thinking sence we live in such a snowy area of getting tickets ($5 each)tickets to and tubing hill at the local ski resort they supply the inter tube we haen't done that before i don't know other wize we give the kids 2 gifts santa brings presents (i'm not sure how many it depends on the sales!!)then we take them to the dollar store to shop for each other and us and there grandparents...i'm not sure if we are doing it that way this yr or if we should draw names maybe we should have them draw a name and do something nice of that person??? My hubby is starting to stress he hasn't said it but he took on another job for right now he is a Teacher he is teaching 3 dif. jobs right now right after christmas he will be back to his normal 2 Thank goddness he loves to Teach!!
Well hope your having a great dAY!!

Hello! I am homeschooling right now, it is my second year. The schools where we are just aren't that great. They went to public school before we moved to Florida. I love it, but somedays it is a challenge! What is Ld that your son has? I am glad they are liking school and doing well.

We try not to spend too much at Christmastime but sometimes difficult. We don't buy for extended family (except dh's parents) and the kids do dollar store gifts for each other, otherwise we get them each three gifts, two smaller ones and one large gift. The tubeing idea sounds great! We did that two years ago for Christmas in North Carolina. It was fun, although I thought I was going to kill myself going down that hill

That is neat that your husband is a teacher and loves it! We were farmers in Iowa and now we sell tractors. Do you work?

Hi , My son has nonverbal learning disabilty , he goes to the sp. ed for math and has a very hard time remembering directions but he is smart i got him from 2 grade level up to 8 th grade level in 2 years it was pretty neet i unschooled and really felt i was slacking i didn't make him do any thing we just did alot of unschooling and it made him blossom i had no idea how much he actually learned with nooo preasure and just looking stuff up for fun and doing things for enjoyment! we had a homeschooling program we went to 2 a week and he took like sign language , cooking , first yr guitar soo he also took a science class hands on fun stuff like bottle rockets ,potatoe launchers alot of boy stuff!! i wish i didn't get burnt out oh well maybe next year. Did you "unschool?" no I Don't work out of the home. Do you also sell tractors?
What did you farm?

Hello! That is great that you did unschooling. I think it is a wonderful way to learn. I do some of that but also some traditional methods. Somedays I feel really burned out though. I admire you for what you did with your son. We are in a homeschool group also. Really helps alot. I help out in our business with bookwork, filing, etc. DH does everything else! Our son (14) also helps out at times. We used to grow 2000 acres of corn and soybeans. Are you still feeling like you may be pg? Are you hoping for another dd or you don't care either way?

I have an app. on thursday with an ob so i'm hoping i will like this one and see if i am or what the next step is .. we alreday had dh tested he is fine they said the count is something over 200,000, my Dh has 420,000 so i'm not sure of any other # but guess thats really good...any way this other Dr. a couple months ago said that next step was clomid but she didn't even stop to see how we felt about meds!! I don't do well with any meds for anything!!!anyway... I'm still thinking that i am but if i'm wrong than i want to go to the app. prepared with other questions I'm not sure of other things I need to look them up but was something where they look n you and put dye in to make sure nothing is blocking?? I seems like i've heard that wemon tend to get pregnant after that .... I feel pretty silly still about still "feeling prego" but oh well sooner or later we will find out!!lol and yes we would like 2 more DD are we aloud to post web sites on here? my husband has a site with the things he does and also all of us i'll post it is it is aloud on here we have a bunch of family photos....

Hi! I hope you can find a good doctor. I had a really nice ob for my last pg. I was disappointed that I ended up being induced (he was 10 days late), otherwise had a good experience with the pg, labor and delivery. All of my kids were born in Iowa except for Thomas, so I didn't know what to expect down here, but everything went well. I had a friend who had the procedure that you're talking about where they make sure your tubes are clean and she got pg right away after that.

You can post your own personal website here, I think. Just not links to other message boards. I would love to see your photos! Have a great weekend!!(what's left of it

Hi , we need to put updated pics on the site !!I'm soo tired i remember why we started homeschooling !! i'm always calling the schools and all i'm doing there is just holding there hands to make sure my kids are not slipping through the cracks and or making sure there sp. needs are being met!! Christmas break starts this week I keep haveing bad dreams about christmas and in my dream my kids wake up christmas morning and "santa" left a bunch of IOU's lol ....
I do like to bake although i don't do a whole lot of it my dd does to she likes to make treats ... We just bought a house in sept. and then put the kids in public school it seems like i can't get the house unpacked !! My dh and i hit this awsome sale at mervyns they were going out of buisness 50 % to 70% off everything so we got a few things for christmas i had to be carefull of not just buying thigs only because they were on sale!!(do you guys have mervyns there?)
Have you ever "felt prego" and been prego? I'm going to feel so dumb if i'm not cause i really feel like it my hubby totally thinks i am to ... well thursday we should know

I mean flet prego with a neg. hpt . and been prego? i have before but i'm starting to feel really dumb

Hey!! Did you take another test? I am hoping you see a BFP!!! I never have really early pg symptoms, the only way I ever knew I was pg in the past was a pt. I start getting sick about 6 wks along. Do your kids participate in lots of after school activities? We do dance and Girl Scouts. I'm glad break is starting for you, do you have lots of things planned? Did you move far when you bought your new house? We have lived here about 2.5 years now. We really would like to get a place with some land, but not possible right now. Costs too much!! So we will stay put for awhile.
