Hey Yall-- Nope--still no test results yet!!!Grrr! They keep saying they are backed up and will get to them as soon as they can. My nurse at SG has been all over them about it and has demanded a discount on the test. They say no more than a week wait now but who know!!! I am not due to start BCP for another 2 weeks so they had better be in by then!!!
Ok--I am gonna try to give you all the jist of what is going on with my daughter----ugh. To say that I am stressed out right now is a complete understatement!! I am almost glad my IVF got pushed back a month because I am not so sure if I could be going through all that right now.
First off--I have been having trouble with my 14 yr old daughter for MONTHS. She is mouthy, unruly, skipping school, drinking and trying her best to date a boy who is much too old for her and forbidden to see him. Second--My daughter's best friend came to live with us in late March---not a good idea at all. Her dad (whom she lives with) got incarcerated for 3 months (great dad-huh?) and instead of him sending her to live in Ohio with an uncle, I allowed her to come stay with us to finish out the school year until her dad was to be released in July. She is terrible--always in trouble at school, skipping class, was caught smoking weed outside my house- ---the list goes on and on. Fast forward to last Tuesday----I found out that my daughter skipped school for the day and took a flipping cab to her forbidden to be with boyfriend's house and spent the day with him----omg!! AND--she stiffed the cabby for the cab fare!!! That same day her little friend that lives with us got suspended for the remainder of the school year (only 14 days but still) for cursing out 2 teachers and throwing an object at another. OMG_-I was so darn mad at both of them so----I called the uncle and made arragnements for him to come pick her up and take her off my hand---she was too much for me to deal with along with my own unruly child. Since my daughter was already grounded--I mean really grounded (no TV, computer, phone --no music in her room---nothing)--I had no idea whast else to do with her so I threatened to whip her butt with a belt the next time she disobeyed me. I did not do it but I did threaten it and I meant it!!! Thursday afternoon I get a call from social services--both my daughter and her friend has told them that I had whipped both of them with a belt (not true) and that I had punched my daughter in the face regularly and that she was in fear for her life---which is absolute BS. They even had pics where these 2 girls put make-up on themselves to make it look like bruises ----completely ridiculous!!! I was in utter shock and still am that my child would lie through her darn teeth to 1)be with a boy 2) to get to move out--something she has asked to do for months and 3) lie and say I beat on her friend too!!! So--my daughter was removed from my home 'for her own protection' for 1 night and the other little girl's came to get her. They wanted to remove my son too but ended up letting me keep him, thank goodness for that. My daughter was legally allowed back into my home on Saturday but I didn't let her come back because she lied and has showed no remorse or offered the truth. Her father would not take her---he is a deadbeat dad. She is with my ex's sister for now and I have all this stuff I have to do in order to keep my son and there are police at my house daily to do 'welfare' checks on my son-----so totally embarassing!!! I don't know if I will ever allow my daughter back in my house again. It's a terrible place to be when you are forced to chose between one child and the rest of your family---ugh--I hate and am depressed and my heart is broken!! Like my husband (her step-dad) said--if she will lie on me and I am her mother, who is to say she won't accuse him of something even more terrible the next time she doesn't get her way??? I am a mess!! Sorry for the book--this is why I didn't want to get into in the first place---long story!!!

Tanya- How did Carly do last night??? I'm with ya I can't sleep with my little ones either-- I like my bed and my space... I hope she did great! I am going out today to look for the baby magic-- I have looked at Target and Wal-mart and both don't carry it any more.... What's up with that???

Becki, when my DDs and I get done with it, I'll be sure to send them out. You know, with my third, I had the BH, but I think it was a little later, but I had them big time. I'd be walking along, and would have to stop, and my belly would kinda pull me over in this funny poaition. I'm sure I got more than a few stares. I don't know if our uterus beinglower because of multiple pregnancies, and ligaments being looser has anything to do with it or not. Send me pics or anything at this name(including #s) at msn.com
Mary, glad you were together at the right time. Good luck.
Kerrie, great news. Crossing everything I have for you.
Tanya, I can't sleep with a little one in the bed either. Mommies need their rest. I hope you got some good sleep last night. Hey, they had a cute little lady bug bank at Target too. And if you can't find Baby Magic, let me know, I'll get you some too. Or when Tracey gets her BFP, ya'll could come up and we can go to Babies R Us together. LOL
Tracey, do keep in contact if you need to vent. I'm a great *itcher about my DDs. LOL

Tracey - I'm sorry about your dd. I know at our last lunch she was testing your limits - I'm sorry to hear she's moved out. Is she with your ex? ((HUGS)) Girl - call me if you want to vent.
Kerri - Everything is crossed for you. I'm praying this is IT!! Can't wait for an update...
Becki - My brother's girlfriend uses Baby Magic and I LOVE IT!! I've been using Johnson's Bedtime Lavender and I like that too...but Baby Magic is the BOMB!! I'll check Target out tomorrow..gotta have me some!
Anita - I think the barnyard theme sounds adorable. I'm doing ladybugs for Carly.
Speaking of Miss Priss - she is sleeping in her bassinet tonight for the first time! YEEE-HAW! I've been co-sleeping with her for weeks and I've not slept well at all. I'm so paranoid about rolling over or something. Finally tonight my dh insisted about 100 times we at leas let her try her in the bassinet and she's SOUND ASLEEP! I miss her next to me but she within an arms reach so that's a plus!
Off to bed..and dh finally gets his place back. Sucks to be a man..ROTFL!
I had typed out a long message with personal messages earlier today but when I hit add, I found out that my wireless had disconnected while I was typing and all was lost. UGH!
I did get my packet and it looks like there is some potential there, so we'll see. Keep your fingers crossed!!!

I can second that!!!! My hormones are all over the place and I have THREE girls and another coming!!!!!!!
Andrea- I am really sorry too- I hope it all works out.. Fill us in when you can and with what you can!!!
Anita--- LOVE the idea of the barn yard closet!!!! That is the CUTEST idea I have heard of!!!! It bet it made it more real ordering the crib and stuff... It will be here before we know it.. You mentioned having braxton hicks -- I have been two when I mentioned it to the Dr the said its normal... I just don't remember them this early - ya know!!!! HEY I want pictures of the babies room!!! I want to see your master piece!!

Becki, Baby Magic is my absolute favorite too. I was upset that it wasn't sold any more, then low and behold, it was at Target. I grabbed it up. Then, I saw it at Babies R Us. The package is a little different, but it still smells the same. Yummy. I open it and take a sniff every couple of days. If you can't find it there, or on the internet, I'll send you some. We went and ordered the crib and dresser we wanted on Saturday. I'm debating whether to do a farm theme for either b or g, or to do the farm for a b and flowers for a g. The nursery's closet sits out into the room about 2 1/2 feet, and I'm thinking of painting it to look like a barn with a chicken in the loft and hay and a mouse, etc., so I'm not sure.
Andrea, sorry for the rough time. Teenaged girls are so difficult. That's one of the reasons I have my heart set on a boy, they're so much more fun and easier. Don't get me wrong, I love my DDs, and will love a new baby girl too, but there's so much drama with those darned hormones.

Hey Ladies-- Quick post since I am working.
Just wanted to pop in and tell Anita that when I went home on my lunch break the package was sitting under a chair (shaded) on the porch. Thanks again.
I will try to post more later but I am having MAJOR problems in my personal life---stimming from my 14 yr old daughter. I can't realy go into it on here but she is not living with me right now as of last Thursday and I don't know if she ever will again. I am a hot mess emotionally over it all--to say the least!!!

You ladies are SO funny!!!!! But I agree I like chubby babies better too!!! They are just so much healthier looking too.
Anita- I cried all day Saturday too DH just wouldn't back off and leave me alone so I locked myself in my room ALL day and just hung out there... I would have been happier if he had just taken me out for mexican -- geeshhh!!! I didn't want it the baby did!!!! (lol) I still feel little bumps and flutters and my tailbone-- I think the WHOLE baby is in my back
So where are you all today??? I went shopping and bought a towel and two onies that are lime green.. I think I should juts go with my gut and buy all pink.... But I just have that fear if I do I'll curse myself!!!!! Did you all know hey don't sell Baby Magic lotion any more????? I'm dying here because I LOVE that stuff... What were they thinking???? I think I am going to go buy the matress today too and I guess white sheets-- I loke the poke a dot ones better (lol) But white will be fine until I know,,,,,,
WEll I am off to pick up the kids!!!!! Mary if you email me I'll send you a belly shot or any one of you girls rob and becki @ bellsouth . net (all together )

Heck Anita - if I was a baby I'd be downright ADORABLE if chubby was the deciding factor!!
Weekends work for me during the summer - we could all meet and hang out. At least while Carly is still little we can eat/talk/ and pass her around a bit!
Becki, sorry about the mexican. I know what you mean though. I try to explain it to DH, it's like you want it and now. I broke down crying in Target Sunday because I couldn't find any yeast rolls. Dh has been very patient with me, so I can't complain. He tries to make s ure I have what I want. As far as movement, it's not so much kicks as it is sliding across, it's hard to explain. I have started having braxton hicks too.
Tanya, I'm glad Carly is being so good for you. And I love chubby cheeks. Skinny babies are not as cute as chubby ones. Heck, if I was a baby I'd be adorable LMAO. Anytime you and/or Tracey want to come up, I'd be glad to have you. I don't mind hosting at all. And I wouldn't mind driving down either....you guys just let me know. Unfortunately, it would have to be a weekend.
Andrea, I just got word that you have a package. Are you home? I didn't think about those things sitting out in the sun.
Hi to Jo, Kerrie, Kattie, Mary, and anyone I missed(sorry).

I'll post the picture of the three of them. My son is my sweet child but he's not a picture person.
Carly is sleeping really well - no complaints at all. She's very easy but does have some episodes of colic now and again. Mostly in the evening. She's eating well - about 3-4 oz about every 3-4 hours. I know it's too soon for cereal but she can really plow through the food. I'm using the powder and we've already gone through a big can in a month's time..and those cheeks are really filling out!
Anita - If you host that ladies night I'll be there. I'm still dying to meet you.
Tracey - Any news yet on Andre's test? Those LabCorp people need to HURRY!!! There are ladies waiting to know Andre's stuff already!! I'm not wishing twins on you - we've had that conversation - but I wish someone who is ambitious would have a set! Wanna do lunch soon? I'll bring little Miss Sunshine along..
Mary - Are you still planning on the fertility flight this weekend?? Man - I love it - your my hero! A woman that will fly for lovin!!
Kattie - I'm so excited that IVF has become an option again. I'm hoping this works out for you and Tracey!! Your dh has always sounded to wonderful..I need him to give my insenstive dh pointers!!
Jo - Three Novemeber birthdays?? OMG - and good grief right before Christmas?? Sept is bad here - both my nephews, my son and my dad and his brother were all Sept birthdays. Plus my best friends son as well. My dd is born on Dec 27 - the same day as my FIL and his twin brother. What is it with birthdays coming together already???
The weather is beautiful here - getting sunny and warm - I'm so happy. The cold weather was a killer. And this is my first warm weather baby - the other two were Sept and December - so it's a nice change from worrying about colds and coats.

Tanya- I can't wait to see the three of them!!! I hate my picture teken too... Lots of fights have started because I had my picture taken (lol) I'm happy you are all healed and doing great!!! How is baby Carly doing??? Is she still sleeping well??? She is just so pretty!!! Post pictures any time I don't think anyone would complain - Its what keeps our dreams alive!!!
