Hi. I' a 36 year old mother of two.

I had my two girls when I was 21 and 22. It was easy to conceive back then, and I really thought two was enough for me.

Along the way, my ex husband and I divorced and I never thought I would want to even think about having another baby.

This past year, I met the man I could spend a thousand forever's with, my soul mate, the love of my life. We were married within the year, and now we are trying to conceive our first baby.

I thought it would happen right away. It did before, it did with my sister and everyone else I know. I am worried about my age. I know it takes time, and I need to relax and take it easy, it has only been since the end of July since I began trying.

I am hoping it happens soon, but I know it will happen if and when it's meant to be.

Thankyou for reading this and if you have any advise... feel free... : )

Nov. 9th:

Second day of Af. Accepting the fact that it didn't happen this month. When we decided to ttc, we both guess how long we thought it would take, he guessed one month, I guessed 4. So this month.. in two weeks anyway, we will be on our fourth try. SO, I have the OPK and we'll just have to wait and see. I hate waiting.

Nov 10th: My Af stopped mid day. So it lasted only only 24 hrs. I wonder why so short. Its not normal for it to be so short for me, and I usually have horrible cramps. So, I think I'll test in the morning so I can rest my mind.

today is dec 14th. I have about 8 days before I ovulate again. I don't mind this waiting period half as much as the following two weeks. I wanted so bad to have a wonderful Christmas surprise, but it didn't happen. I know it will though, soon.
If it doesn't happen in the next two months, its time to visit the Ob/gyn.
Of course I hope this will be my month, but time will tell.
good luck to everyone ttc and congrats to all of you that have gotten your blessing, esspecially those in the 35 and over group!!

It `s been 7 months of ttc. I am waiting for my AF on Sunday. I have a strong feeling this is going to be the month. I went to my OB/gyn, he said I have no reason to do anything but keep trying at this point, and if in 6 months I am not pregnant we can look into our options.So for now, we wait. Til Sunday at least, of maybe we will test early on Saturday. I am finally content with waiting, and even find it exciting.Good luck to you all TTC and those who have!

I took 3 tests, all had at least a faint line, the first two I did 3 days before my AF. We bought those at the dollar store figuring its early and we don `t want to spend a ton on tests. I had a feeling I was pregnant this month because exactly 7 days after I ovulated, I had very light bleeding for about a day and a half. Both showed a very faint positive reading. We bought a better test and took it last night, two days before AF. ANother positive, this time a darker reading. I am due for my AF tomorrow, but I think this is really it. I got my BFP!!!

I am 5 weeks pregnant and feel so darn tired and nauseas, my husband can `t believe how my bb have grown already, and I have been sleeping like crazy lately. I have never had so many symptoms, esp. this early on. My first Dr. visit is in one week. I can `t wait. I am just so happy to be pregnant. I don `t know what else to say, 7 months of trying, it finally happened!

Thursday, 13 Mar
Well, I am sick pretty much sick all day everyday, and tired! But its all good, I know my body is going through a lot of change and I am excited about it.I just called my Doc to make sure Monday is ok for my first appointment, I heard most Dr.s don `t want to see you until 10 weeks and I am at the end of my 5th week. So, they said Monday is perfect 6 weeks is exactly when he likes to start! So, I am happy to know I am doing the right thing. :)Its been so long, I really don `t remember as may details of my first two pregnancies. I do know I was sick for my first and perfectly fine with my second. ANyway, that `s my update. 5 Weeks and moving along!

Sunday, 30 Mar

I am approaching week 8 and for two days in a row I didn `t feel like complete Doo-Doo. Which makes me so so happy!!Not much else is new. I bought a maternity bathing suit today. Its very cute, so far I haven `t gained any wieght, but my tummy seems a bloated.I had all my blood and urine anaylsis done this week. The end of this month brings excitement with our first sonogram and some worry with knowing I will have to tell my boss the news, which he won `t take too well. BUt What can you do!I hope everyone is staying positive and feeling good! more to come.....


May 19th Second Trimester.

So, I am now 15 weeks and 2 days. Feeling tired a lot and I get some pretty killer head aches. I gained 4 lbs, and heard the heartbeat twice so far. We still don't know if we are having a boy or girl, but we shall soon find out on June 17th! I really can't wait.
My girls are having fun picking out names I decided on Oscar for a boy and Katrina for a girl. That still might change, but so far, those names are the winners..
I keep laying in bed feeling my belly, I feel my uterus tighten at times, and I just can't wait to feel the baby move..... soon!!!

That's funny! My hubby will try and feel him when we are laying down for bed and the little critter won't move. The minute he moves his hand, kick!
Yeah, I hope she gets that job. Last night she went camping at Shasta Lake with a bunch of friends. First camping trip without us so I couldn't sleep all night. HA
Can't wait til she gets home this morning. I'm such a mom!

OK, you have 5 days and counting? WHen is your actual sonogram appt.? I felt the same way before I found out, you're so excited but yet you're afraid at the same time. Don't worry it will all work out the way it's supposed to.

My 24 wk checkup was this morning. I gained another 5 lbs, which puts me at 14 total. I'm good with that. My bp was higher than normal 118/70 but still very good. Little dude's heartbeat was in the 140's. My girls were always in the 160's so it does make me wonder if there is something to that old wives tale about higher hearbeats for girls and lower for boys. Next appt. is the one hour glucose - yuck!!! Didn't you hate that?

Hope you're having a good day and not too tired!!!

The college tour went good. She is super excited now to start in October. She had an interview at Kohl's (clothing chain) and they sent her for the drug test. I told her that was a good sign. That means they liked her and she made it to the next step. I hope she gets it. She needs a job this summer. The financial aid appt went well, just filling out paperwork now to turn in. She qualified for some grants and stuff so hopefully worst case scenario, the possible loan won't be huge. :)
It took me almost 8 years to pay mine off.
I love peach cobbler. Blackberry is my favorite though. Today I ate Fruit Loops by the handful for a snack. Now my tongue is raw! HA
I am definitely feeling kicks and rolls. My family has felt it but barely. I can't wait for it to get stronger!
How are things with you? Is your tummy getting big?

Well graduation is over and hopefully all of the graduation parties as well! HA Sami has been sleeping all day today and seems to be sick. She can't swallow and her nose is stuffy. It is probably from the lack of sleep since she graduated Friday night. I didn't have a party, but her best friend's parents (since 3rd grade) had a huge shindig that I went to. I left at 10:30pm and Sami stayed until the next day. I guess the kids stayed up and played pingpong and sat in the hot tub and ate all the food in the house! Tomorrow she has a tour of her new school she will be attending in October and we will be meeting with a financial aide person. Hope that works out. College is pricey! HA
Yeah, for some reason, ice cream is real yummy to me too lately. I'm trying to stick to fruit popsicle, but they just aren't as appealing! And my husband makes the BEST fruit smoothies! Don't let the word "fruit" fool you either! There is icecream, vanilla, orange juice and fruit, but the icecream is what makes it good I'm sure! :)
I'm into cold cereal too. Frosted shredded wheat or Froot Loops! :)
My first trimester I loved the veggies and the junk food really sounded gross. But that has all changed and is a thing of the past! Now veggies and meat sound gross and the sweets sound all too good! In fact, I am eating a gummy worm as we speak!


sonia - Monday, 9 June

I'm glad your feeling better babes!!!!!

My thighs have started to dimple...... i'm off to the shops again to buy a bathing suit as i'm going to start swimming, now i havnt swam for about 20 years so should be funny, but after seeing myself in a full length mirror it has to be done i have now gained 19lbs

Anyhow much luv & have a greatday too xxxxxx


bunnyintheoven - Monday, 9 June
Oh hunny i feel for you!!!!! Probably a daft question, but have you tried a cold bath..... We had a nice weekend thank you, had a night away friday, went shopping for more clothes (as i've grown out of the ones i bought last mth) saturday & just chilled sunday in the garden.Much Luv Hunny xxxxx

Just wait - in the last week, I'm starting to feel him move a lot. Not sure whether he liked the priest doing the homily today or not (booming loud voice), because he never stopped kicking!

Thanks for your sympathies and concern for the girls. Death seems to really affect my oldest - she's been through it now 3 times with close family members and she's ultra sensitive. I just keep talking to her about it when she needs too.

You would think I'm just lounging with school out and all, but somehow I still end up fairly busy. The little one has swim team everyday (Sarah is still out with the broken wrist) and we have Vacation Bible School at church this week and next weekend my hubbie and I are flying to CA for 48 hours to be Godparents for my niece. See how relaxing summer is?

I can't wait till your sonogram either!!!!!!! What day is it?

I don't envy you with working through the pregnancy; that has got to be tough. I think you should be able to get out of all cooking and cleaning on the weekdays (it's a small consolation!).

Hope you're having a good weekend!

Oh that sounds like so much fun. I would LOVE to go to Niagra Falls. My whole family is very excited it is a girl but everyone guessed it was a boy? Tim and I thought it was a girl from the beginning but everyone else said boy (weird). We are working on names, we have a few but nothing for sure yet. What do you think you are having a boy or girl?

I havent felt the baby move yet but it is my first so they say it can take longer. What time of day does your baby move? What does it feel like?

I hope the sunburn goes away quickly, they can be painful. Is your baby bump growing?


Kandace - Saturday, 7 June
How are you doing? When do you get to find out what your having? I read your blog about your NT scan and mine was similar. They didnt even try to look at the sex of the baby. She was a very nice tech but learning the sex at that appt was not an option. We found out Tuesday we are having a girl! We are so excited. Let me know how your doing.


lori-d - Friday, 6 June
My mom, mother in law, sister and daughter went with me to the ultrasound (I had an entourage!). We went shopping right after and bought some cute boy clothes and looked at car seats, etc. Then my mom bought me some maternity clothes. It was fun.
So, today my daughter graduates high school! She is very excited and for some reason, I'm not as sad as I thought I'd be. Maybe because I know that my mommy days aren't even close to being over. Also, because she is going to stay at home and attend a local college. She doesn't want to leave her little brother. She is very excited!
How is your baby bump? Mine is huge all of a sudden. I'm going to post my first tummy pic this weekend maybe. My hubby and my daughter felt a tiny kick the other night...:)


*Baby-Mine* - Friday, 6 June
i HATE my stretch marks, i think i'd be too self-concious being in a regular bikini with a big ol'belly, forget big red marks that SCREAM "look right here!" lol
my DH said i had those marks before i was pg, because i lost alot of weight in boot camp, but i never really noticed them, i guess because they were smaller? but now they're magnified and highlighted in red! lol
hope you have a good weekend too!<3


bunnyintheoven - Friday, 6 June
Sounds like you have a busy weekend on your hands!!!! Peter & i have a meeting today & as its away to travel we are staying the night & making a mini break out of it.... & chores for me also on Sunday (boooo)The weathers a little up & down never know what to wear!!!!! Not that i fit in much these days. Much Luv xxxxxxxx


bunnyintheoven - Wednesday, 4 June
Hay Kelly sound like it's going to be fun, i want to come!!!!

I have everything to buy, Peter wont let me shop (Boo Hiss) I have to wait untill 24 weeks . I have picked everything i want though so just a case of ordering them a couple of the baby shops here hold everything untill babys born & then delivers, so thats what we're doing for the big stuff.

Hows your day going hun???


*Baby-Mine* - Wednesday, 4 June
no i havent seen it. i never got into the show, so i actually have no desire to see it. me and my DH just saw that movie "the strangers" yesterday...it was ok. what you see on the commercial is pretty much what happens in the movie. i kinda expected more.
do you have a maternity bathing suit or just a 2 piece? i've been trying to figure out if a 2 piece is inappropriate for a big pregnant girl to wear! lol which i guess doesnt matter anyways because i have stretch marks on the FRONT of my belly so i wont be wearing one any time soon!


lori-d - Monday, 2 June
Yeah, I am excited even though the baby will be born the same week my daughter starts college! It's almost comical. I still cannot believe that she is all grown up. It went by so fast! I was just telling her the other day that I remember her waking up every morning and saying "mommy is my hair long enough for a pony yet?" She had no hair until she was about 3.5 years old! HA And when it was long enough, she wore that little inky dinky piece of hair all pulled back in a rubber band so proudly!
Well, now I'm rambling! Look at my pics! I had my level 2 last Thursday, everything looks great and healthy and I'm having a boy! :)


*Baby-Mine* - Monday, 2 June
aww, Julia is pretty. i think i mentioned that one to my husband, but he didnt like it because he said it reminded him of Julia Roberts, and he hates her! lol weirdo.
my weekend was ok. very uneventful. hbu?


Bunnyintheoven - Monday, 2 June
How was your girls night out???? xxxxx



*Baby-Mine* - Monday, 2 June
you and me BOTH! i'm a little nervous to see what he picks! lol
yeah as of NOW its Presley, but i'm still keeping in mind that it may be different once i see her.
what do you guys have in mind so far?
