Yolanda is going to take a pregnancy test in the grocery store.

ryanne, when are you going back home?


Not until Tuesday, I'm secretly ready to be home this weekend... I'm even a bit more bummed because Micah is leaving for business on Sunday night, and won't be there to meet us at the airport. I love my MIL, but her hugs are not quite the same

Nicole, I am enjoying myself but I'm a bit stressed because I have my final exam this weekend(online) and it's a bit hard to study. Oh well, this isn't a transfer class, only a pre-req so I am trying not to be upset over not having an "A".

Jennifer, I would be upset. We had "our" name stolen during the last round of babies(my SIL's and I had babies at the same time) and I was upset about it... If we ever adopt a little girl then we WILL be using the name(as SIL only used it as a middle name) and SIL can just deal. That whole fiasco is what led to Micah and I "publishing" our list of names and making it very clear that we intend on using them.


Christina, that is hard! Micah and I have had some of the same problems but we are even worse because we nag each other It is getting better, but it's taken alot of hard work on both of our parts and a bit of guidance from a third party.

(((((((((((((((Jennifer))))))))))))) I am sorry she did that to you guys. But you know, if you do have a boy you can still name him Micah. I would do that if someone stole my babies name.

Jennifer - I would be ticked too. Now if the person would have chosen that name without knowing it was the name we had picked out then I wouldn't be mad. She knew!

Christina - That is awesome about Timmy peeing on the potty! Hugs on the hubby thing...

I am a little disappointed and feel like some what of a dork. I was really hoping we had good timing this month and got impatient. So I tested tonight and it was negative . It has only been 10 dpo so I know there is a chance I tested to early, but I know there is more of a chance that it is just negative this month. I am really trying to let go and let God, but I am having a hard time doing that...I shouldn't because he has the perfect timing, but I am human. I am not due to start until Sunday so we shall see....

My lil' guy is still be a handful and it is 10 at night. He is refusing to go to bed on his own and this is the second round of trying. I have had such a long day and was really looking forward to some time before I went to bed, but looks like that is not going to happen. Hopefully, we will have a better time tomorrow...hopefully!

LOL Christi

Ryanne- I will be praying for then for that exam, I know how stressful exams are at the best of times, let alone when you are a mum! Why are you at your parents for so long anyway? I might have missed the reason why. Ohh, sorry Micah won't be there, means you get to have some nice private cuddles at home though. I am sure if it was at the airport you would have to be more 'polite"

Hey, do any of you have little ones that are a bit sensitive to the noise the vacuum cleaner makes? It seems to grate on GB's nerves and we always thought she'd grow out of it, but she's 3 and still covers her ears. Actually, most of the time hubby takes her downstairs while I vacuum upstairs and then we switch around. That probably hasn't helped her get used to it.

We're only here for two weeks... My parents gifted us with tickets this time and I feel guilty staying for less then 10-14 days, so here we are. Hehe, it's been two weeks and I don't wanna wait any longer then I have to until I see Micah. I'm going through husband withdrawls, which is mostly because even though we have phones, it's hard to talk. My parents live so far in the boonies that they can only get dial-up internet and one of the kids is always on, so I can't use the house phone and I have no cell reception. Oh well, that is life.

My parents were supposed to bring us a package this weekend. Lorne ordered something from ebay and when he realized the seller lived near my parents he asked them to pick the package up to save us some money. My mom said they might come this way at the end of the month because they want to go to the mountains (meaning they would just stay a night then leave most likely...) and they would bring the package then. I just asked them to mail it to us and we will pay them back since I can't count on them to actually come. We have had some fun visits with them, but it still bothers me that they see us more now than when we lived closer to them. Our last town was "boring... nothing to do there" so they rarely came to visit us. And now that we live in a city that is more fun they seem to come... or at least want to come more often.

Do any of you have family that seems to want to see the town you live in more than you sometimes? Like, do they visit you more when you moved to a neater city?

We are moving in a few months. We are moving to a town that is really close to the mountains and I have a very bad feeling that my mom will want to come to see the mountains most of the time and leave us behind. She is very jealous because she has always wanted to live near the mountains.

I know she loves us, but she is rather selfish in the way she does things. If she thinks something might not be "perfect" she will change plans... and then say something like "Oh I guess the weather was nice after all. We should have come" It happened all the time while growing up too. Many camping trips were cancelled because the weather "might be bad" and then always ended up being nice and then my mom regretted not going.

Sorry if I am on a complaining mood today. I just don't know who to talk to besides Lorne and there's only so much I can say things over and over to him.

My brother covered his ears and cried until he was probably like 7 or older. If he didn't like the music in a restaurant he would cover his ears and start to cry. Now he listens to loud obnoxious music.

((Nicole)) I wouldn't come to just see the silly mountains!! I would come to see your dragon and guinea pig, NOT! LOL sorry, just trying cheer you up. Try not to worry so much about it, it won't help with things :)

Ryanne- yes I can see how you would have to make the most of the visit. Oh well, not too much longer then you can have Micah hugs!

No, when we lived in the same town as our families they never visited us. Now we're an hour away in a much bigger city with lots of great stuff to do and several malls and they still don't visit.

I hate to hear how you're feeling...that they will visit "you" just to get into the mountains. That's sad.

Oh, and I feel like all I've done all day is complain too...no worries. It's just been one of those days.

LOL well it did make me laugh! And just for that.... when you come I am letting the snakes AND hamsters have free roaming rights around the house. Yeah, I will get over it. I always do. I usually just need to worry and vent for a bit so I can get over it quicker. When I don't vent I tend to get worse and worse and I don't like feeling worse over things.

Well that stinks! We lived a couple minutes away from my parents when we first got married and they never came over. Then we lived half an hour away from their house (still in the same city as them) and they complained it was too far away and only visited when they wanted to do shopping on our side of town. And then when it was an hour away and in a boring town they always complained. Same with my brother and sister. We lived there for 3 years and my sister came over maybe 2 times. My brother would come over and fall asleep on the couch right away.... he does that here too so I am always getting mad at him.

Yeah, because I know how my mom is it just makes me sad too. I know she wants to see us, but they will plan a trip to the mountains and then come see us for a night and then go to the mountains. Or sleep at our place and spend the days at the mountains. And if for some reason we can't go to the mountains we will just feel used. So far it has been 3 times that she said they were on their way to the mountains and they wanted to stay with us for the night then go to the mountains in the morning. I always say "sure" cuz I know it is very rare that they will actually stick with their plans. I am pretty sure they will come to just stay with us too, but not as often as I would like them too. Even though they can be upsetting I do like them and do love seeing them.

By the way, my dad isn't annoying at all. And if he is annoying (which is rare) I can talk to him and he will listen and be nice.

I recently talked to my mom because I was really upset with her. She said she felt bad and then talked to Lorne and apologized for what she did. She was in tears... but since then she went back to being the way she is and hasn't changed at all.

I do love my parents and do have lots of fun memories and times with them so please don't think too poorly of them cuz I am complaining. I just need to vent.

Soooo..... tell me ladies....If your brother's wife has a daughter and then you ask what the boy name would have been and they say Micah.... then they have another girl and Micah was still the name they would have used.... then you get pg and are having a boy do you a) pick the Name Micah b) pick something else ?

If your choice is a... does the sil have a right to be miffed? Just wondering what you cool headed ladies think...

hehehe...I would get a dog and name it Micah!!!! LOL (OK, maybe that approach isn't the best way...lol)

plus, in two pg's it is the ONLY boy name we could remotely agree on I know I'll get over it, but now...I'm ticked...

with Jack's prego test my friend and I were going to be gone all day, and neither of us really wanted to wait...so I took the test at the store after I bought it. You know, just relaying that story so that you know you aren't the only one that has done that.

no...but don't even get me started on how my family treated us when I was in the hospital having Justice and they were here at my house. Paul says I am overreacting with the whole thing though....but he wasn't the one stuck at the hospital or the one that was completely ignored. All they were here for was because our house happened to be here and they were driving though the state on their way across the country. My brother only came to visit because my grandparents were here...not to visit with us. They came to the hospital to see Justice....never once asked how the labor went, never asked how I was...just took a bunch of pictures and then complained the whole time about having to get back to MY house so they could have their FAMILY dinner they were cooking at the time. Same thing the next day when they came for a few minutes again. (Family dinners that no one even thought to include me in in any way...not even bring me something since I couldn't go home). My mom didn't even know there were complications with his birth or that I had pushed at only 8cm...because the whole time they were all here they really didn't care to even talk to me, much less ask how everything was going. She got upset with me a few weeks ago when I said something about his birth being "hectic at the end there"...and that I had never told her about it...well, she never asked!!!!
I always wondered how it would be to have people visit me in the hospital...I never had that before since we never lived around anyone...well, now that I have had it I HATED it. I personally would never show up at the hospital without something for the mother or the baby ..and I for SURE wouldn't treat someone in the hospital like they treated me when they were here.
.......but anyway...

LOL!!! Haha you are sooooo evil! I love it! I had a friend name her dog after me when I was quite young. She thought it would make me happy... it made me mad, but I got over it.

Oh Sarah (((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))) I do not think... for one minute... that you overreacted AT ALL! Oh my goodness they were totally using your house for their vacation. That is so sad Sarah. I cannot believe they didn't even ask how you were or even bring you a meal. My goodness! When my aunt was in the hospital (she got out 2 or 3 weeks ago) Lorne and I drove the 3 hours to be with her. We knew that she needed family. And we bougt her gifts to make her smile. And boy did she smile! She was so excited and let me know how much she has always loved me. My family only went because my mom didn't want to look bad for not going when Lorne and I drove 3 hours just to see her. Talk about selfish hey? (((((((((more hugs cuz I love ya! )))))))))))))))))

Chelle

What is his bedtime routine like, and what time do you start? When you say he is "refusing" to go to bed on his own, what exactly does he do?

His routine was messed up last night because we had unexpected company. The minister who married us just happened to be in our area (he lives in Florida) and stopped by last minute. I know Hunter was a little wired from that. Usually his night time routine is dinner, play, bath, a small snack (he needs it) and then bed at 9:00.

That's likely to be it then (you hope!)

How is he normally about going down?
