Kids- Lucia (pronounced Luchia)/20 months/11/22/08
Hope to have more kids? Yes if possible
Whats your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? She's starting talking soooo much w/in the last couple of weeks...She's says Hi and Bye Bye to everything. When she's finished nursing (yes, we're still nursing-I'm working on it) she says bye bye to her "leche". It's the cutest thing ever!
Advice? I'm learning everyday but I would say relax and enjoy it!
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd)Tyler-he will be 1 on 8/12 and a 14 year old SS.
hope to have any more kids? Nope-I am fixed!!
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? he is talking up a storm and started walking recently. He is such a sweet and loving boy and very curious about his new little world.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Listen to yourself. Lots of people will give you advice but you know what is best for your child. Also enjoy every minute b/c they grow up so fast.
No kids yet... TTC #1 (we've already got some names that we've loved for a LONG time... Boys: Landon, Braydon, and Luca Girls: Madeline & Lillian) ... we will also be going team Green
We'd really like to have a large family (probablly 4 kids) & we def. want to adopt at least 1. But we will just see how things go with #1 and move from there.
Favorite part about this stage... we're just really excited. We've been together for a really long time and have been waiting for baby time until we were in a house- and now that we are it's 'THUNDER CATS GO..."
I actually love all the advice about doing what's best for you and your family... DH and I are told ALL The Time to wait wait wait to have kids.... b/c we are kids (even though we're 24 yo). But now is right for us, so we'll just see how things work out!
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) Grant (11/07), Julie (2/09), Baby #3 due (10/4/2010).
hope to have any more kids? I am thinking 3 might just be my limit.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? I love how both G and J are to the point where they are really interacting with each other. I love to watch them play together.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Everyone has a bad day now and then. Try not to beat yourself up about it. Realize your mistakes, try to correct it, and go to sleep at night telling yourself that tomorrow will be better.
Love your new sig pic!!!
Kids? name(s)/age(s) Emmy is 3.5 years and Ally is 7.5 months
hope to have any more kids? Want more - yes, but reality is that we will most likely stop at 2.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? Emmy - she's sooo funny and imaginative and really makes my day brighter. Ally, she's starting to show her personality and she's pretty hard-headed and fiesty. Everything you do makes them life at this age.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Enjoy the moment because they really grew up so fast. I try to keep this in mind when they're giving me a rough time and I'm not sure if I can handle it. Action speaks louder than words in their little word.
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) Cooper, 12/9/09
hope to have any more kids? hopefully...but not any time soon.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? everything! He's laughing, talking, learning, rolling, sort of crawling. Every day is something new - I love it.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? laugh a lot. I've had some really crazy things happen that could have caused a lot of tears but it was much easier for everyone because I laughed instead.
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) Micaela 8/17/1999, Kaitlyn 7/18/2006, Samantha 12/1/2009
hope to have any more kids? haha! We're already outnumbered and these girls think they run the house!
(We're done. I think.)
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? I love seeing them all together laughing and playing. Samantha is a ball of fun right now, Kaitlyn is a holy terror, Micaela is a moody pre-tween. lol Never a dull moment, that's for sure.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Go with the flow. Everything is a phase, it won't last forever!Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd)
Reagan - 3 - 5/23/07, Abby - 18mos - 2/11/09
hope to have any more kids?
Yes 1 or 2 more.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in?
Reagan - I feel like she has just grown up overnight. The things that come out of her mouth can stop me in my tracks at times. While the terrible 3's are in there I love this age.
Abby - She is quite the mischievous & feisty little girl. She may be little but she is the ruler of the 2 in this house!
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms?
When you are having bad day and you're not sure how you're going to get through it know that you are not alone. It's ok to go into another room and take a deep breath(or scream!) and then come back to the situation.
Surround yourself with a good support team. I could not have made it the past 3 years without my friends.
Crazy Christmas Kids!
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) EDD is 12/01. We are expecting a girl--Madeline Jane.
hope to have any more kids? Well, we will have to see how number 1 goes but I have always wanted atleast 2. DH was on board with that until he saw how miserable I was every day during the first tri. Now he is not so sure but I'm sure he'll forget all about it once he meets our baby!
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? It is all very exciting. My life is going to change dramatically in a few months and I can not wait! I know motherhood will be tough a lot of the time, but it feels like I will finally be doing something worthwhile. (my current job does not make me feel that way.)
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Yeah, no. I am the one NEEDING advice...I think I will be here more and more in the upcoming weeks as the realness of everything sets in!
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd)
Kaley- almost 3, 10-1-2007
Carter- 8 months, 12-3-2010
#3- EDD 2-11-2011
hope to have any more kids?
No more please! 3 is more than enough for me.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in?
Kaley- Her personality is just full of sunshine. She is so silly and she loves her brother. I love seeing her help take care of him.
Carter- Well he just thinks hes a toddler and should be walking like his sister. His strength and curiousity are fun to watch. I love the fact that he greets me with the biggest smile in the morning.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms?
Everything will just fly by in a blink. Enjoy every stage and go off your kids cues. No one knows your child better than you do.
Kids: Avery (almost 3) and Joseph (16 months)
Mas kids?: My tubes are tied.
Stages:
Avery has such a dynamic little personality. She can be the most awesome kid ever and she can be the most rotten kid ever - all in the same hour. She cracks me up.
Joseph is just my little honey pot. He is such a lover. He makes me laugh and smile every day and he is quickly learning how to manipulate his sister.
Advice: Enjoy it. They grow up fast.

Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) Leah will be 2 in October
hope to have any more kids? #2 is due in March. After that, probably no more, but we'll see.
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? Leah is such a sweetie (when she wants to be)! Yesterday she kept coming up to me at random times to give me a kiss. And she loves to make people laugh. She's very silly. I love watching her learn new things all the time.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Maybe this comes from lurking on national boards too much, but ... RELAX! Try not to stress about every little thing. Nobody is perfect but our kids love us anyway. They'll turn out ok even if we park them in front of the TV occasionally, or feed them fast food now and then. Just do the best you can and don't worry about trying to be perfect. Oh, and stop and enjoy the little moments. Time goes by so fast!

Kolby 7/3/10 (SS 18, SS 15, and SD 13)
hope to have any more kids?
Nope, we are done!
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in?
Us learning together. I have done 5 and up, this newborn thing is different. I love watching this little man grow up.
My older kids - watching them figure it out. You can't hold their hand for the rest of their lives. When they make the right choice for them, and understand why it was right makes it worth it.
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms?
Do what is right for you and your family. Take what you have learned and apply it. Your baby will never know the difference.
Kids? name(s)/age(s) (birthday?/edd) 1 DS- Parker 7/18/2010
hope to have any more kids? 2 more please
although not for quite a while seeing as I'm not married and my little man wasn't exactly planned
what's your favorite thing about whatever stage your in? He's so snuggly!!
what one piece of advice would you share with other moms? Moms to be- Don't ever tell yourself that you will definitely do/not do something (BF/FF, CD/sposies, crib vs co sleeping, etc.). Having a kid ruins all your plans. Moms- Get a family member to help out and take some time for yourself!
