Michelle, you know I was married before and have 2 kids from that marriage (aged 11 and 6) Well, we had decided no more, he had the snip snip operation and that was that. Before we got divorced I started regretting that decision and really wanted another one....

so jump ahead to Johnny. he did not want to have any kids when I first met him. My two were fine for him. After awhile he decided that he did want his own and we decided to start trying (and you know where we are at now). I'm 33 now, will be 34 in september. We're having another boy so we're considering trying one more time in a couple of years for a girl. My concerns are holy ####### I'll be 36, I'll be such an OLD mom and all that. But my biggest concern is how my body will handle it. The only thing I can tell you is that the older you get the harder it is for your body. It's not the same as it was when you were 21 or 26 for that matter. HOWEVER, you can conceive up till the point when you enter menopause... so you do have time to decide. It's not out of reach for you. (hehe if I can do it, so can you!) If Craig decides to have one you still have plenty of time.

or......

wanna borrow my boys for a few hours? it may cure you of your baby wanting J/K J/K J/K

Hi all, thought I would check in.

If you could all send prayers and well wishes to my baby grand niece, Kelynn. She is still in NICU, seeming to do very well, just hit 6 lbs this last weekend, but they did an ultrasound/brain scan and found a vessel in there bleeding. Its a grade 1, but we are wanting all the prayers we can get that it heals up with no problems.

On the other hand, she has fed on her own since last nite, so they may release her from NICU on Friday if things look "ok".

Thanks all.

Oh, also a question, did you guys feel unusual amount of cramping the first 2 to 3 weeks of your pregnancy.

Just wondering, as I have had a whole lot of it, and usually I only get that around the monthly and then ovulation.

the first 2 to 3 weeks of pregnancy. well 2 weeks is ovulation and 3 weeks is implantation.... I'm assuming you mean 4 to 5 weeks????? If you do, I always felt like I was gonna have my period at week 4 to 5 when I was pregnant. That included cramping. But beware, I've had 2 miscarriages, one an ectopic which caused me to lose a tube along with the baby, and I'd not take any cramping lightly. Call your OB.

Updation: almost no hope of a 2006 (even going all the way to 12/31) baby, but possibility of early 2007 (basically, we're trying actively at the moment).

Well, you'll just have to keep working on it....every day if you have to!

Well I had my Ultrasound Wednesday to find our why I'm measuring big.

The U/S revealed that my fluid is on the high side of normal ...and also my lil guy is measuring 31 weeks 4 days that is almost 3 weeks ahead of where he should be...he is at 3 pounds!!

The Doc says not to worry that everything can even out, and sometimes the u/s is off on the baby's measurements because the fluids act as a magnifying glass. Everything else looks healthy and that's all that matters!

Both my other kids were big babies... my son 9lbs 6oz and my daughter 8lbs 13oz... but neither measured big in the 7th month!

All that matters right now is that the baby is healthy!!

I have my dreaded diabeties test today.....ugh, not looking forward to it! but hopefully my doc will finally have me go and get my ultrasound done after this visit. I definately want to make sure that the baby is happy and healthy too. plus i cant wait to see what im having! (not that ive made that such a secret here ) but the not knowing part is definately stressful, so hopefully i can finally get that done!

Ok, for all of you telling me how bad the orange ####### tastes......i was freaking out for nothing. downed it in less than 2 minutes. it reminded me of the orange soda from macedonia, really sweet! but it wasnt as bad as i was expecting!

anyway, so she took my blood on friday and told me that if there were any concerns with the test she would call me today. so im keeping my fingers crossed that i dont get a phone call today!

I finally have an ultrasound scheduled for thrusday afternoon!!!!!!! i am soo excited to finally be able to get that done too! WooHoo!!!!
