Terri Trey was concieved on Christmas Eve last year! So, he is my Christmas miracle. Hopefully you will get one this year!!

Christina Howdy. How are you settling in with your daughter?

Shilo Is Dante getting a sleep schedule set now?

Carrie I am on my way so we can go do that ummmm felonious activity.

Di How are you doing? Havent heard from you in a while.

Update on me, the spotting went from just a lil to HEAVY bleeding. I think I'm having a period. Uggghh. I
m always the unlucky one, nursing & having a period. So, I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Wednesday. If I am bleeding still then I will go, if it stops like a normal period then I won't. Trey has his 2 month appt tomorrow. Ugghhh shots! I am making DH come with me so he can deal with that part of it.

Janet...sorry to hear that you are having problems with bleeding. That is just never, ever fun. I hope you get it resolved quickly! And yep, drag the DH... they should have to see what we mommies go through! ( I always cried on shot days.... with both mine. ew)
I hope Trey has gained a few more ounces by then.

My sister called today...she's miscarried. I feel so badly for her. Poor thing. She's going to try again right away. Crossing my fingers and saying a prayer for her.

Terri, Im so sorry to hear about your sister!
For me, my af has gotten worse after each child. Ob s I have seen have said that the uterus often stays slightly larger after each child which increases bleeding.
I didnt notice an improvement after my tr, but i did notice much more painful ovulation. Maybe because the area is tender from surgical scarring, im not sure. The bonus to painful ovulation is that I knew when I was ovulating, lol.
Janet, not sure if you caught my other post, but Dante is 13 weeks old, and I have bled off and on the whole time. I stopped for a week about three weeks ago, then it kicked in with cramps etc, just like af. Lasted for a week, then spotted off and on again til just over a week ago.
My large uterus is having a hard time contracting i guess.
I havent been able to have my pap or due to the bleeding.
As far as Dantes sleeping goes... nah.
lol
Going to sleep at 10:30, awake at 3:00, 6:00 and then starts the day at 8. A few cat naps here and there.

Janet, Lucky you with the AF. BTW, are you bringing your own ski mask or should I pick one up for you?

Shilo~ still not getting any sleep or any nookie? lordy you have to be going nutty

Christina~ good to hear from you! Sounds like jenny is fitting right in! As for the tanning, I think I might be a mean mom there and make her wait a bit........BUT they do have great fake tanners/bronzers that are in the clearance section right now.

Terri, sorry about your sister. Hope she is doing okay....And you don't live all that far away from some of us! Chrisitina and Jennie are closest to you and I think I am the next closest. (I used to work in Oxford Valley a couple years back)
Where oh where is everyone else?

Carrie You better pick me up a ski mask, I forgot to get my own.

Shilo Have you talked to your OB about your bleeding? What does he say? I'm sorry Dante isn't sleeping more. Trey sleeps from about 10 til 2:30, eats & then sleeps until 6. Then we lay back down after the boys go to school & he will sleep from about 8-10. Then he is up for quite a while. Some days til 3 some days til 6 or 9.

Terri Sorry to hear about your sister. I will keep her in my thoughts.

Janet, the bleeding is due to my uterus being large.
It is harder for the uterus to contract efficiently when it is large.
My uterus was way larger than it should have been all during the pregnancy. This ob doesnt have my preggo records from years ago, but he is thinking that I may have always had a larger uterus and thats why I have large-ish babies and large placentas.
I remebered after my first born, my ob told me i still had quite a large uterus, and I never thought anything of it. I had the same ob for my next two kids as well, so it was never mentioned again... but my new ob says that with my first ob saying that, that perhaps it never returned back to normal size after my first born.
It would make sense, as i have always bled along time after each. Not super heavy, just very prolonged.....
Sounds like Trey and Dante have similar sleeping schedules.
AND Dante is getting teeth! I saw the two white slits in his red gums yesterday!
yes Carrie, no sleep and no nookie, LOL
Im looking forward to next week though,
a woman I met through a pagan website runs a pagan coffee-meet in the little city I moved to, so I got invited to go to a local restaurant next week to meet up with some local pagans at a meet & greet. So that will be a nice little break , and maybe I will make some friends. Other than the sweet woman at the little metaphysical gift and bookstore up the street from me, I havent been able to get out to meet anyone, so this will be a nice opportunity.

Not doing to much this weekend. My daughter is having a friend stay over and my son is going to sleepover at a friends.
Im irritated because my 14 & 13 year olds dad is screwing me around for child support right now and i just want to wring his neck!!!
Plus there is a woman he was seeing about a year or so ago, she had a drinking problem or mental issues or sumthing, he and he fought alot in front of my kids when they were there on weekends, the dad moved back in with his parents and sid he wasnt going to see her anymore... she made my kids cry because she would get drunk and say nasty things about their dad to them. (im sure it was all tru, but TOTALLY inappropriate to say to the kids!)and then they would get into physical altercations. She was in a psyche ward a fw times for anorexia/depression/bi-polar.... well, found out hes seeing her again and last weekend, when he had my kids, he took my son downtown with him because he needed to see ehr for some reason. He parked the car (the car which he tells me doesnt run and thats why he cant contribute to transporting the kids for visits, Pablo takes the kids to him AND pciks them up) along the street, downtown Vancouver. (the biggest concentration of heroin users in North America is in Vancouver)tells my son not to worry, there is a knife in the glovebox, and then goes in to his g/f's place for over half an hour, leaving my son in the car. My son is 13, but downtown is dangerous and if someone sees a car along the street, they're liable to jack the car or hurt my kid or who knows what. With Meth running rampid and heroin etc., who knows what people will do!
Cruddy thing is that he told my son NOT to tell me, and my son is scared that if I confront his dad with this that his dad is going to freak out at him.
Found out from the kids' dad's sister that he has been on medication for bi-polar disorder for quite some time now, but that they dont think hes taking it regularly.....
im so frustrated... their dad has always come up with some sort of medical problem he has, because then he blames everything he does on his illness and doesnt take responsibility for it. Although I had always thought he was bi-polar, I used to tell him that i thought he should look into it when we were together, and he always said "why?, YOURE the crazy one!" and now I hear that he is apparently bi-polar. That, OR hes just taking his g/f's pills and telling his family that the meds he is on are for him.
When we were still together, 13 years ago, he was drinking, snorting lines and smoking pot. then he would go out and cheat on me. oops, k, im getting off topic.....
IM FRUSTRATED!!!

OM Shilo I would be seriously PISSED off. I don't know what to tell you. I feel sorry for your son, he is caught in a bad spot. It was good that he told you tho.

Update on Us. Trey had his 2 month appt today. He is up to 9 lbs 4 oz!!! His dr was THRILLED! & she couldnt hear the heart murmur. She thinks it was just an innocent murmur that has gone away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy. I was actually crying in the drs office.

awwww, Janet, that is so great!!!
Seems like lil Trey just needed a wee bit of chub on him to help him out.
That is sooo fantastic!
As far as the ex goes, im over being irritated with him. No point to it. grrr.....
hehe
Anyhow, its a relatively quiet night.
Dante is currently sleeping, waiting for the first wake-up...
he usually wakes up every ten/fifteen minutes or so for the first hour before he finally gives in to bedtime.

Good evening
woot kids are in bed, husband is working, i cleand house and its me and my lil belly for the evening.

Janet im sooooo happy for you and lil trey thats wonderful news!!!!
Shilo is your visitation court ordered? i mean it didnt sound like a safe situation to have your 13 year old in. perhaps document it all? i dont have to deal with it but i know if i did i'd be hot. especially with your X's history. gosh i hope it gets worked out....

mmmm homemade chicken soup sounds sooo good!

this pregnancy has me feeling a lil wierd...i have this issue of feeling full all the time which in turn makes me extremly nauseated and short of breath....i mean all my pics i took of my belly you see me "sucking it in" so we can see the "official" bump..lol...but i swear my stomach is very bloated at all times and if i drink water or something wait a reasonable amount of time i can actually feel it and hear it sloshing around up top KWIM? like its not digesting? so i then i get hungry eat and feel so much more full but im actually hungry and then i think all i need to do is vomit and i'll feel better. has anyone ever had this? i have never experienced it. I do plan to ask my DR on the 15th when i go but i was wondering if anyone knows of anything i can do?

cranky lol i cant remember your name (sorry) you are funny keep the humor girl its great when TTC.

I think it was christina that asked about the tanning bed thing, i was gonna say same as carrie i never used the beds but they do have great spray tanners and some salons have some that last for a long time and its actually done "professionally"

Well as useual im gonna go lurk since im alone lol i'll try to get some pics for you all to see on here...

,
michelle
