Morning! Robyn, glad you had a such a good time, except for Anthony getting sick, is he feeling better now? Even I feel jealous when I see a pregnant woman, I really miss being pregnant sometimes, except for all the uncomfort. Oh, I forgot to tell you all about my doctors appt ... it went well, except my b/p is still a bit high he said, which I think was just from being there becasue it's always normal when I take it. He also said that if I have another baby, my chances of getting toxemia again are pretty high, so the key will be early prevention, like strict diet, stopping work early on and bed rest at the slightest increase in b/p. He gave me an R/X for the mini-pill, but I don't think that I'm going to take it ... he assured me that it's completely safe while bf'ing, but I still worry. GAYLE, I also have wanted a tatoo on my foot for a long time now, a dragonfly, and I also have 2, one on my lower back (upper butt) of the chinese symbol for 'together' (my DH also has the same one on his shoulder blade, we got them after dating for only 2 weeks) and I have another one on the lower back of my neck, chinese symbol for 'mother'. I heard that a tat on the foot REALLY hurts, so I'm a bit scared, but hell, then I think if I gave birth naturally, I can do ANYHING, right??!! LOL! LESLIE, I have bid on 2 12.9 oz and 1 smaller can and it's at 4.99 right now, someone also bid on it pushed up my bid, but they gave up, anyway, I,ll keep checking on it today. Be back later.

Rhonda, do you have a Walgreens near your house?

Oh, I forgot to mention that I am addicted to buying Gymboree clothes off eBay for the girls ... I just can't stop, I think I've spent about $300 in the last 2 weeks. I need help!!! LOL!!! The clothes are just too cute!

good morning girls! i was wondering if any of you have tried preseed ,ovulex, or vitex.i read on another thread vitex is supposed to be better than ovulex. and i was wondering if you got pg after taking one of them. also can you get these at the drugstore or do you have to get them online? thanks.....jen

Hey girls, nothing exciting here Anthony woke up feeling much better and actually ate breakfast so thats good. JD i tried ovulex when i first started the infertility a while ago and you had to buy it online. I never gave it a chance i didnt hear really great things about it. Plus i was starting Clomid at that time and didnt want to mess with anything. Dont know anything about Vitex though sorry. KELLEY - is the mini pill a b/c pill? Sorry my bcps now are just for IVF and i am out of the loop on that. So are you guys gonna try again soon or is this it? GAYLE - dont know anything about the testing they are doing on you for the m/c. I guess with our situation with the termination the perinatologists knew what the issue was so testing wasnt necessary. I am just looking forward to seeing the RE and getting my next protocol and hopefully last. All this loss has really made me appreciate things alot more these past 2 weeks.

Hello everyone how are you all doing?Robyn i am so glad Anthony is doing better today,poor boy it is awful when a child is sick.I am doing alright.I am very sore still yet,and my back from having the spinal block is really bothering me.My spine is killing me.It hurts to stand it hurts to walk.Where has Katt been all weekend?I miss her.I appreciate you girls helping me with the formula.Gayle i think the tatoo is a good idea,i would like another tatoo but i cant afford one but that is alright.Sophie is doing great.She is starting to eat more than what she was.The only time she cries is if she is hungary.My 2yr old is very jealous of her though.My dr told me he thinks i am overdoing myself with housework and such.He is right though.I am already doing way to much.My work is never done though.Well i have to get off here and do a bit of cleaning before Sophie wakes up wanting to eat again.I love you all.

HELLOS!!! I wanted to pop in and let you know I am still swinging, lol! No ttc this month and have been really busy with the car buying and work demands. Speaking of which I was just paged to go on a call. I went on one yesterday too - grrrr! Dh still in back pain with noother symptoms I am not sure what to do. If he misses more work it cannot be good. Negotiations are still being made with my soon2b new job, but looks promising. Well I better hop in the shower and go draw some blood. I'll pop in again soon. I sure hope everyone is doing great! Any BFP's yet? We had a scare yesterday x2... Rascal pulled down the coat rack and a pack of cigs was in one of dh's ppockets, well he chewed up the box and it seems all cigarettes are accounted for. The vet gave me some pills to give him - heis okay. The mystery, however, is the case of the missing electronics - I got these promo plastic ice cubes that blink. They have a button for changing the patterns. Anyway I am sure it has some sort of battery running it and John and I cannot find the innards. I am not taking all 5 animals to the vet for stomache pumping and it was Sookey, my eldest dog, that was munching on the ice cube thingie. One of those watch type batteries are sealed aren't they? I mean, shouldn't just pass right through the system?? Thisis a good question for Michelle I expect. Okay well I better shove off. The RN admitted the draw wasn't stat and I really shouldn't be going... she was like we'll write stat on the order - um that is illegal! Anyway, I can't tell her the facility is billed for the stat - wish I could, I guess I could what will the company do - fire me! ROLMAO okay luvyas!!

Katt you better take your dog to vet if he swallowed a battery,because it could be very dangeorgous and life threating.

RHONDA_ I don't know as any of the animals swallowed anything. As I said Sookey was chomping on the hard plastic piece. Usually when Sookey does these things whatever she is munching on she has taken from one of the other animals (usually the cats). You know those plastic balls toys with the bells inside of em - Sookey gets so annoyed at the cats playing with them she just eats it! I only know this because they are found in the backyard, poo-style! Now dh vaccuumed the entire area yesterday before this so it is entirely possible he vaccuumed up the innards and Sookey had what remained. All I can do is pray at this point that my animals are healthy. I know what to look for as my family lost a 4 year old Shelty due to an alkaline battery incident. My nephew was eating cookies (he was about 8 or so) and he also had a C battery in his other hand as Mom recalls. Anyway it is believed that the dog jumped up for the cookie and swiped the battery instead. In such situations dogs usally just swallow w/o chewing. Needless to say, my nephew never came clean and it isn't discussed. The way I see it, whatever was in that cube thingie was most likely similar to what companies put in thoses stuffed noisemaker toys for dogs (the ones that sound like farm animals) I am sure my sweeties are fine. I will get more of the stomache pills from the vet tomorrow though. Talk to y'all later. Cyas!

Only 12 days left - March 17th is the big day! A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY to Kelley, Kathy, Leslie and me! (Wishing Hope, Maren, Jada, and Crystal greatness in your lives - we miss you!) BABYDUST!

Hey girls...wow our one year anniversary is coming up. We should go out for drinks!! :) Kelley - let me know about the formula, what a good deal. I also opted out of the mini-pill idea, I'm paranoid it will interfere with the bfeeding too. I also go through ebay binges...though boys clothes aren't nearly as cute. I'm so disappointed, all of the stores have about 1/2 as much boy clothes as girls. I would buy more if they were cuter! Jen - I used pre-seed the month I got pg with Joey. I was also using evening primrose. It seemed to work for me. I looked up drug store in my area and just went and bought some. I think ebay might have deals on it though. Okay, off to another basketball game. DD's team got killed this morning. The other team had 3 girls who were over 6 ft. tall. Yes 6 feet tall and 12 or 13 years old, can you believe it? Okay I'll check back later.

Morning ... only have a second ... Rhonda, you should be getting 2 cans of formula along with a $7.00 coupon for another can. I hope that'll hold over until your appt. Happy anniversary girls, I really wish that we could go out for drinks, well, at least we have this place. My Mom is arriving from Florida today to spend a week with us, so I will be going to the airport after to pick her up, so in the meantime, I've got some cleaning to do ... I'll try and check in tonight.

Rhonda do you have a Walmart or Walgreens or CVS Pharmacy up in MO? I will send a gift card to you so you can get the formula or Mark can drive to get it for you let me know.

Oh.... the RE called this morning out of the blue they want to see us this Thursday and after we meet with the RE we are meeting with the IVF nurses. I couldnt beleive it I can see him 3 weeks earlier I almost fell out of bed with excitement. So... i know he wont start us this early but I dont care at least i will know something and maybe get a protocol and prescriptions for my meds again. Just something to look forward to. So I got that phone call this morning. The builder that built our house called this morning and is dropping us off a check for 2500.00 from the flood when we moved in and then my job called the lady in City Hall has my logevity check from the city and I told her that I lost the baby 2 weeks ago she said OMG let me talk to the personnel director and see if i can get this check to you now thats another 2000 dollars instead of making me come back to work to get it. I was so happy i might not get that without going back to work for 80 hours but they feel really bad for me right now so i think i can get without going back to work. So cross your fingers that this week is a good week for me and Jason we so desperately need this right now. Oh and we had sex last night (TMI) first time since November. I wasnt supposed to doing anything till the 8th but hell its been so long and nothing really physically feels wrong with me and i needed to get some. LOL. Anyway love you all will be back.

Hello to all of you,how are you all doing?Katt im glad your dogs are doing good.So glad none of them ate the battery.That would have turned out bad.How are you doing?Leslie it sucks to hear your daughters team did not win,man those girls are tall and still have growing to do.Thanks to you and Kelley for getting me those two cans of formula,i will gladly pay you both for those two cans.I appreciate the help.I know Sophies appetite has increased since she first came home.Friday she will be 2 wks old already.Robyn it's great you might get your check without having to do 80 hrs at your work,my fingers are really crossed for you.You dont need the stress of having to work those 80 hrs just to get money you are entitled to.The closet we have is a walmart it is only 25 min away in the next town.My breast still has not dried up.My breast will still get tight feeling and leak.My dr wants my milk supply to dry up in order to find out if the bleeding i have had in my breast has stopped.I even sleep in a tight bra which he recommended me to do.My sister called me and told me she has a trash bag of clothes size 2t for my daughter Madison because i dont have very many clothes for her,so i am happy about that.Now all i have to do is get the clothes from her.She lives 2hrs away from me.I hate going for long drives,so she might try to get down here with them over the wkend.Chloe my 1yr old she still does not crawl or walk yet.She has not even cut one tooth yet.She is behind.My back is still killing me from having the spinal block done.It should not still be hurting.My post checkup is not until the 26th.But if it still hurts i will mention it to him.Robyn it is great you were able to have sex.You went along long time without getting you any.That can be a big stress releiver as well.Alright well i have to go,im still in my bedclothes and need to get dressed before Sophie wakes up wanting to eat again.I love ya all.

Hi girls ... well, my Mom's flight is delayed by over 2 hours, I wonder why ... she's coming from Florida and there isn't bad weather there today, is there? We are having a blizzard here today, so I hope that her flight will be OK landing. ROBYN, wonderful news about the sex, lucky you are in the mood, I still have no desire for it at all ... last time was when I was 38 weeks pregnant, and it didn't work out too well because of my size, LOL! RHONDA, have you read any big sister books to Madison? I read lots of them to Isabella while I was pregnant, and she just loves Saydie, hasn't done anything bad at all and is not jealous in the least. Well, better run for now ... talk to you all later. Katt, glad the pooches are OK.
