Hi mommies!

 

 And another

Beautiful babies, ladies! I had been wondering about everyone here and meaning to check in, but with such a busy life posting here got pushed to the side. I finally caved to DH and my family and had a tubal in November 2011. Immediately following the procedure I felt so numb and violated. I've been in a state of constant regret ever since. Yes, it's nice not worrying about another accidental pregnancy. But each and every day I regret the decision so much and wish I had stood my ground. I *thought* I was done having babies, but now, I wonder about it. I miss pregnancy and that entire chapter of my life. I'm not so much focused on one gender over another. It's just the realization that I do want another baby and I can no longer do it without either a tubal reversal or IVF. I'm by no means saying I want another baby tomorrow, or even next year, but I would like the opportunity to have another baby in a few years if I still feel the same. All of this has caused the post-partum depression to be worse. Kinsley is doing WONDERFULLY! She's at 27 pounds, 28 inches long, crawling and just an all around happy baby. I will hopefully be able to post pictures soon.

Epii!!! Hey I hate you feel that way about your tubal... I can't believe they would pressure you like that, but you don't have to worry about any oopsies... I chickened out of my tubal at the last minute and put an IUD in again, but I'm kinda wanting a tubal again just so I don't have to deal with anything at all. I tried to come on here for awhile but the site refused to let me on but i'm here now!

I'm glad to not have to worry about any surprise babies. That would be horrible right now! I'm just gonna stay quiet I think and let time go by. Hopefully in time I can convince DH to have another. I'd be quite okay with skipping the reversal and going straight for IVF. Gender isn't as big of a deal to me as it once was, but who knows. I could easily change my mind before we even get to that point. I finally just thought of stopping by the other day. It's great "seeing" everyone again. And I lost your phone number. Can you email it to me again? I'm seriously considering going back to school to be an ultrasound tech, especially if we don't have any more children. I'm in a rut with my current career. The company I'm with is great, but there's no real potential. Plus, there's the burden of take home work. I guess in a sense I'm just not interested in it any longer. I feel bad because I worked so hard in college, have so much time and money invested, but I'm not exactly making a great bit of money from it either. We'll see. =)

I was thinking about going to be an ultrasound tech too! lol I lost your number when I got my iphone, for it to be so hitech it sure can't transfer numbers from SIM cards butis my number or if you can find me on FB is my email. I sometimes ponder about another baby because we just had a garage sale and sold a lot of Jai's stuff because he's so big and I was a little sad and wanted to do it again loal

hi all! cute babes! I haven't been around, partly due to being extremely busy, and partly because I was getting so many errors when trying to post. i've just been poking around trying to catch up on what's going on with everyone. My Natalie's a little peanut - at 8 1/2 mos, she JUST hit 15 lbs! She's insanely mobile though (probably due to not having much weight to carry around!) - she crawled at just over 6 mos, stood up just under 7 mos and is now starting to cruise. She shocked me the other day by managing to crawl up 3 stairs! will be watching her much more closely after that!!

 Hey ladies! I too had a miserable time getting on here and gave up on it for a while, but I'm glad to see people posting again and to get the chance to catch up!  Epii, I had a tubal and totally understand what you are saying.  While I definitely know I don't want more babies, I feel like it's a let down that part of my life is over.  And I'm very happy looking forward to the next chapter, not having to worry about pregnancy but it's still sad that I'll never be preggers again.  The worst part is that I totally have "baby fever" right now and my bff, her sister, and her sister in law are all pregnant at the same time and I almost wish I could jump on that bandwagon.  My DH feels very happy we did the tubal, I guess I do too, otherwise I'd probably be in the Nov. 2012 birth club 

Ginny is doing great, she's just a little thing too, 9 months and not 16 lbs yet.  She's never going to crawl, but is cruising like crazy!  She hasn't even gotten any teeth yet, although I think that's in our very near future because she's been a little monster the last couple of days.  It doesn't help that the whole family had a nasty stomach flu this week.  Hope to talk to everyone soon!!!!

Hey girls! Not sure if anyone is on anymore but just wanted to check in! Good to read the last few updates! Epi sorry you feel so badly anoint your tubal, I think I would feel the same. Though I know this baby will be my last I'd rather DH get the snip! Which he already has said he's going to! Baylor is doing awesome, shes more than 110% cured my GD and I'm so happy to report we are expecting again in February and I DO NOT care boy or girl. We had 2 losses also and made me even more appreciative. Baylor is crawling cruising and trying to stand on her own, got 3 teeth though the rest are coming on in! She's very vocal and sooo funny!! I hope to hear more from you all!

 Babybleux!  So happy to hear you are expecting again, congratulations!!!!  Also, I'm so sorry to hear about your losses, that is so hard!  It's good to hear that your GD is gone!  Baylor sounds like a wonderful little one!  Ginny is doing great too, she's still tiny, only 16 lbs, but healthy and happy.  She has crazy long hair, halfway down her back when it's wet, but still no teeth.  We've been busy, just moved into a new bigger house and all three kids now have their own rooms.  We are still painting and unpacking but getting closer to being settled.  Hope to hear from you again soon!  

So good to hear from you! That's great about your new house! We had an empty room and I thought it was time to fill it up! So glad Ginny is doing so good! I bet her hair is so pretty, Baylor is BALD!!! Lol! It drives her daddy batty! Haha! But she's got a lot of teeth, maybe her and Ginny can exchange tips! I've missed talking with everyone! Queen popped on one time but I haven't seen her since. Can't wait to catch up with tou more

HA! Here I AM!!!!!!!! lol Ok well Jaivyn's birthday is in 4 days but we're doing his party on the 30th... he got his first hair cut earlier this month too and I cried LOL... but he looks like a big boy now... He started walking last month and he climbs on EVERYTHING! He also eats everything lol... HPL I think I congratulated you guys on the house on FB if not CONGRATS! Scott is getting out of the military either the end of this year or beginning of next but either way we'll be moving to Alabama! How's everyone???

B will start very soon, she's getting so close. Her birthday is exactly 4 weeks, my my how time did fly! We are gonna have to put up pictures soon!

Congrats on the pregnancy too! I have to get some pics on here soon. Time has flown by way too fast

 I'm going to try again and post a picture of Ginny!  We had her birthday last Thursday and her party on Sunday!  It was fun, but I am so sad that we are past the baby stages! I hope everyone is doing well!
