cmoscar- So sorry to hear about DH's job... I know what that is like, DH lost his job a couple of years ago and I had only been at my current job a month, eeeekkk. It was tough but it was the best thing to happen. God always provides and everything will turn out....

As for me I am just playing the waiting game and trying to figure out a way to go back and visit my boy! We exchanged email addy's with the foster family but neither of us speaks the others language so that has been fun. I have been using an online translator and it gives me an good idea of what the email is about. LOL!! Some words that it translates is interesting at times!!

Great to read you all!!

Take care!!

Happy Friday Girls....

Jeck- it's great to hear from you. When will your little one be coming home? I'm sure you & DH can't wait.... keep us posted.

As for us thinks are just trucking along. Today is my work baby shower (there are 3 pregnant people here so they are having a combined baby shower for us all today). It should be fun.... plus our DH's get to come. I'm just bummed that 1/2 the office isn't here today (traveling or on vacation). Oh well....

Hope everyone has a great day and keeps those little ones healthy and happy.

Rachel i am so sorry to hear the news about your hubby's job. Sometimes change can be a good thing, i'm thinking of you.

Angellica hope you are well and trying to relax a little. I have had some reiki on my back which seemed to help but because i am pruning at the moment it soon comes back.

I hope you and your families are all safe and well after the awful tornadoes that have hit the states.

As for me i have had a pretty difficult week. I went to see a thyroid specialist for the first time since i have arrived in Spain. My GP gave me medication that was ment to be the equivalent to the one i was taking in England and was told it was safe to take whilst pregnant by 2 doctors and the pharmacist. Basically when the specialist saw what i was taking he said that it was not good and can cause birth defects. He has taken me of this medication and i will go back in 3 weeks to see him again and will hopefully be able to take a translater with me. I have researched on the web and it can cause retardation, stunted growth and heart problems. As you can imagine i have been in a bit of a mess however at this moment i have decided to remain positive until i go to see him next time and get more answers because getting to upset is not going to help my little girl.

Hope everyone else is doing ok

Everyone else I hope you are good I cant stay on for long Mother in Law is due round for dinner!!!


Oh and Jeck, that little man is divinely gorgeous!!!!! Jaden is our NO. 1 name at the mo as well xxx

ellie- hope that things will be just fine.... are you scheduled to have another scan?? when was your last scan, ithink that you had one most receiently?? they can usually see mnay things like that in a scan... so if all was well in the scan, i think that it will be well in the end!! we'll pray for your little girl...

cowgirl- you now have the 99 beers song in my head.... and i too have had cravings for a margarita... good thing that it's cold outside otherwise it would be worse... i love a ice cold margarita by the pool in the hot sun... YUMMY... we will have to find different words to the 99 beers song, especially before the spring/summer hits...

tasha- hope that you had a good shower... how fun... it's hard to beleive that you are under the 100 mark!! hope that you drive safe in this yet again nasty weather.... my DH's work, is closing early because the roads are so so nasty.... i drove my son to school this am, and drove off the road because a bus was comming right at me.... it was not fun, but did manage to get back on track... good thing his school is only 1 1/2 miles from the house... but there are fields that the snow is blowing over with huge drifts... drive safe!!!

jeck- hope that your little bot vomes home real soon.... we'll say a prayer.

Thanks for the support . Cowgirl i changed medication a couple of months before i started treatment and sp have been on it through the first trimester which is my biggest worry.
I had a scan on 19th Feb and also i heard her heart on 23rd and everything has been fine and she is measuring normal size. i will get my 20 week scan in a couple of weeks. In my heart i feel everything is going to be ok but it just makes me so angry and i feel that because i don't speak their language fluently i have been fobbed off. I need to calm down. Deep breaths****** , i'm fine now.

I think we have decided on a name at the moment i think she will be Isabella, i really like Sam as a middle name after the most amazing little boy i used to look after who unfortunatly died from Cancer when he was 8. I need to ask his parents how they feel first. Do you think it's ok naming a girl after a boy because i really feel that she will be our special one and only and would love to honour Sam. We are of course keeping this amongst ourselves at the moment so the family have a nice surprise when she makes her arrival.

Ellie- I'm so sorry to hear about your medication issue... I do however have a feeling that everything will turn out just fine for you and Isabella (love the name). However, I'm sure your very frustrated and you have every right to be... keep us posted sweetie.

Colleen- my shower at work was wonderful... we had Portillo's for lunch and played games & got a really generous gift from everyone. Now I can't wait to go shopping for baby stuff.... Yeah I'm worried about driving in this terrible weather today. Thankfully we're just heading to my parents house in Rosemont tonight so that's a much shorter ride for me. I'm also hoping they let us go home early... but we'll see. Also a cold Margarita sounds great... but the part about being by the pool sounds even better.

[cowgirlclass]

Looking at cmoscar's update I wonder who will POP first! Several of us are so close and if I remember correctly they moved Colleen's due date up based on US. I know they told me had this not been an IVF baby they would have set my due date to June 10th instead of the 18th. I am excited to see how it all plays out.

So do you guys think I am crazy for being this anxious about delivery? Part of it is because I feel huge! and part is because I am to meet my little girl.

Have a nice weekend!
Cowgirl

[thook]

I don't think your crazy at all... I actually can't wait for my little girl to arrive either. However, I want it to be a little warmer so we can go outside.... so she needs to hold on for another few months.

Tasha

[cmoscar]

I see everyone has been busy! I am holding on to my sanity, barely. We are trying hard to get everything resolved. DH is an Electrical Engineer and Motorola was his first and only job here in the US. He got hired shortly after arriving and and has never considered working anywhere wlse. Motorola is what brought us to Houston. Well, enough about the bad stuff, we are fine and it will stay this way!

Tasha - I hope your baby shower was nice. I have never had one and it looks like that will continue to be the same. See with my first, I was only 17 and my parents were ashamed of me. When we had the second, my husband and I did not have anyone close that would do it and we were fine finacially. Now, we are busy trying to get DH a new job and keep the budget balanced, that we are not even thinking about the baby anymore. Everything is on hold. Right now, we have the bare basics and that will have to hold Makayla for now.

Colleen - Lemonade slushi is a great replacement for margaritas in the summer. As for 99 beers, my boys always say Pop. I am praying that Makayla will come early in the season so I can relax a little. The OB is talking about June 13th for the C-Section. I am still praying I go into spontaneous labor and arrive at the hospital just in time to deliver vaginally. It is just a dream, but it keeps me going.

Cowgirl - I hope the weather stays nice. We are getting another front tomorrow, but at least it will cool us off a little. DH and Danny are doing Wilderness Survival camping this weekend. They have to build a shelter out of natural materials and go fishing for their food. I am glad the OB told me I couldn't go because it will be really cold!

Nance - I am glad you are well. I know you are busy, but we like to hear from you as much as possible. I hope your little one is doing well.

Kim - You are so funny. I guess I really an small. I still haven't had the rolling around in the bed issue. My back is what bothers me because I was in a car accident while 8 months pregnant with my oldest. The accident torn 6 muscles in my back and they couldn't do anything until he was born (about 8 weeks later!). I have only gained about 10 lbs and I am thrilled about that! There are still people that are amazed that I am pregnant! However, you have two babes in there and it should be expected!

Wendy - I can't wait to find out what your little beanie is! I hope you are feeling better.

Ellie - There is nothing wrong with naming her after someone you loved! Boy or girl, they are still important! Sam is actually a good name for her.

Angellica - I hope you do not have to have the C-Section, but based on what mine have said, most will opt for the surgery instead of risking a possible uterine rupture. However, ask for more than one opinion if you do not like the answer. I asked for 5 and got the same answer from all of them. Oh well!

Nictor - Update us soon!

Jeck - Love!!!!! I was worried. You have been gone a while now. Your little ham will be home soon! I hope you are ready for him. Do you have his room ready? I have missed you so much. I am sending prayers for your little ones flight home to be swift!

Everyone, I hope you are all feeling good and staying happy. I am trying to. I have plans of going out with my little man tomorrow. We are going to Pancho's to "spend" his gift certificate from school. He is taking mom on a date. Later we are also going to work on Makayla's room since we have all the paint the stuff. At least she will have something to look at!

Sending Warm Wishing from Texas!
