what's up ladies???

The board is dead again.

What have you been busy with lately?

me::  The baby.  I'm so glad he's easy.  He cries when he's hungry, grunts when he has gas, and that's about it.  A few nights he's stayed up when I wanted to sleep, but for the most part he sleeps 3 hours at night, eats, then goes back to bed.

Re: what's up ladies???

  • I agree, Saxy! It has been pretty quiet around here lately. We are FINALLY getting around to doing some improvements/repairs on the house. Since I am off all next week, I hope to get a lot done.
    Saxy, sounds like you lucked out with a good baby. Any updated pics?

  • I've also been really busy at work.  I was out of town for over a week and now I'm writing up all those reports. 

    I'm excited for Mardi Gras but fear that dh will have me running in circles so I will get no rest.  This is only his 2nd Mardi Gras and last year we only went to one parade because he didn't think it would be something he would enjoy.  Turns out he loved it and now has been making plans with a bunch of people to do a bunch of different things including camping out at 5am for an Endymion spot.  I'm tired just thinking about it.
  • Your DH sounds like my DH. He lived her for 13 years alone and never once went to Mardi Gras. Last year was his first year with me and now he's hooked. It's all good though becuase I'm a  Mardi Gras junkie my dang self. I've been busy on the TTTC board. Infertility is no joke and I'm not having any fun dealing with all this, but in God's time, right?

    Anyhoo, this week is going to be mega crazy.  My Mom is already visiting, she's been here since 1/16. DH's brother arrives on Thursday night and is staying with us as well. My sister, her DH, and two of their friends come in town Thursday night as well, then my brother, his wife and two daughters arrive on Friday. To top all of that off, I am hosting a 70th Birthday party for my Dad on Friday night. We're expecting about 70 people and I'm still trying to figure out how we're going to fit them all in my house!

    Happy Mardi Gras, ladies!
  • wow, ya'll are busy!  Good luck with TTC scooter&peety....it can take a while, but it's worth the wait!

    I do have pics, but am too exhausted to put them up.  We got rear-ended today.  Alex is fine.  He slept through it all.
  • Hey Saxy!

    Today is my birthday! We have just been doing lots (and I mean lots) of home improvement. We got new concrete, a new fence, new windows, a new roof, landscaping, and are now redoing our bathrooms.

    Congrats on having an easy baby. Are you still nursing? My kiddo will be 9 months tomorrow. It goes way too fast!

    Sorry about the accident. Tara was driving the W. Bank Expressway with her 2 month old (now 5 months) when the car in front of her lost a ladder that it was carrying and she plowed right into it. Totaled the car, but luckily they were ok.

  • Do y'all remember that poem that had something about the great, green, greasy Limpopo River?  Well, I've been dealing with it bubbling up into my kitchen sink and flooding my cabinets.  My landlady called the plumber and hopefully he will come today, since no one showed up yesterday.  Thankfully when I left this morning there was only food and gray sediment in the sink instead of standing water (sad that THAT is making me happy right now).

    Beyond that I'm just counting the months 'til Im permanently home with my DH.  Be nice to have a job to immediately go to, but I "might" be joining The Club with Saxy and pea-kay. *wink*
  • woo hoo! Drama!!!

    Mrs Button-- I pump, Alex never did latch.

  • zzzz. i'm so freaking tired. my boys just started being fussy in the evenings (like, now) just when i get really tired. and they get up every three hours to eat too. zzzz.

    drama - exciting!!!!!!!

  • Pea-Kay, no daiquiris for you until my boys are old enough to sit still in the MG ladder. ;-)
  • I've been around (one can usually find me on the WW board).  I miscarried on 1/21 (my b'day) ... we're okay & planning on TTC again in April.

    Rhonda, I don't know you're infertility issues, but the OPK monitor helped me a lot.  Because of my PCOS I didn't think I ovulated, but I do ... on strange cycle days nonetheless.

    GL to ya!

  • Hello ladies - I have been around also, although I do not post often.  Just work and taking care of the little one.  It seems that although I do not plan alot to do, every weekend is jam packed with things to do at the last minute.  AHhhh a nice three day break for mardi gras.  AND my mom volunteered to keep the baby for the break so I will be able to really ENJOY Mardi Gras.  Here I come late nights and partying.....I have not done that in almost three years,  Whew, I am getting old!  We'll see how long I last, I am sure after one night I will call it quits.  Anyhow, enjoy Mardi Gras everyone.
