Roll Call

OpheliaChem

More of a lurker these days. The last time I posted was July 23!!!! Geesh. We moved at the end of July so August was a busy month. School started August 20 and we are adjusting to our new schedules and getting all of our chores done in the evening as opposed to me doing them during the day. DD is getting used to her new daycare and we are loving our new house! I check the board every few days but I can't bump from work anymore (they are cracking down on internet use) and the evenings are busy. Still, I'm trying to stay in the loop by reading all of your posts!

I am here. Starting second round of swimming lessons starts next week. Getting LO all ready for Aruba in January!!!

I'm still here mostly lurking. Not too much going on here getting harder to juggle working at home and taking care of Maya so I'm looking into some part time childcare a few days a week.

We will probably start TTC early next year.

I'm here. Lurking most days. Not much new, trying to be as lazy as I can be with a toddler crawling all over me. The nausea and exhaustion this pregnancy is a touch worse than last time.

I'm here. Niece's first birthday party today. Now we're chillin watching the Hogs. WPS! New with us... This month we went from PNP to WTH, so I guess you could say we're TTC :. Also fixing up out house to sell. Want in on the market by January.

At first I read this as "pack and play" and was very confused!

I am here.  Not too much going on, just trying to work on my goals of keeping the house clean and getting more workouts in.  Last week I did yoga in the park and a hike with some mom friends which was awesome!

I am here.  Lurk daily. Sometimes several times. But we are so busy I don't have time to reply to half of what I want.  I have a 12 year old bonus son who is starting 7th grade in a few days. I have just been running around getting school supplies and clothes and setting up my classroom for the new school year.

MammaBear81

I'm here... We are going to six flags in NJ tomorrow (hopefully the water park if the weather holds)!

mamarazzi528

I'm here. Went on a big fall clothes shopping spree for LO. With LO. That was a mistake... I became one of "those" people whose kid is making a mess in the store by pulling things off the shelves and throwing her cheerios on the floor and whining to get out of the stroller. At least I was in kid stores!

mamajanna28

I am still here though I don't find the time to post regularly.  I am working like crazy to finish up the boys' new nursery and playroom, only 12 weeks to go until J gets a little brother!

KKinATX

Here.  Not a lot going on with us.  DS is finally walking and getting braver about it so we are having fun watching him learn.  It's so cute when they walk to you with arms open and fall into your arms!  I have a bit of baby envy with all these BFPs lately and secretly hoping I get KU by accident!  No definite plans for TTC again but I am trying to get DH on board with starting in the Spring.  Of course, maybe I'll get lucky and it will happen "by accident" before then!

Shine2015

Still here.  Don't post very much but am here almost every day.  Went fall clothes shopping for DS today and didn't come home with very much.  Just not sure what size to get.  Also have to decide in the next 4 days if I want to go back to work.  They have called me back from a lay off but I am not sure I want to return - it's a very toxic work environment.  But the money would be nice.  I can always go back, make some money and just quit when things get too bad, right?

Turtle143

I'm here too.

I am really excited about how much my body has changed since starting Insanity 45 days ago. DH and I started together and we're 2 weeks away from finishing...then it's on to train for a half marathon in Nov. Just so proud of us is all    

pammeelala

I'm still here.  Just trying to adjust to life with 2u2...

CantWait2Be

I'm here.  Don't post as much since I usually do from my phone and I can't stand the new phone lay out.  I can't even read the whole title of a post on my phone so don't know if it's something I want to read or not, annoying.

DD starts kindergarten in a few days and while I'm excited for her, I am also scared after reading the curriculum guide.  They have a lot to acomplish in this school year and I'm afraid I won't have enough time to do my part in helping dd.  Dh and I both work ft and our evenings pretty much consist of eating dinner and getting the kids into bed, not really time to do anything else and I still have a hard time dividing my attention between dd's needs and ds'.  I feel like such a boring failure of a mom.

I'm here almost every day! 

 Going on vaca to Kauai in a couple of weeks with our friends and there 6 month old daughter. Should be fun with my crazy, climbing little man and her lo. Haha.

Also, my parents decided to move out here (oregon) from NY. So happy B will get to grow up knowing his grandparents.

Awww. That is going to be sweet! This made me smile for some reason. Maybe because I know we love having her grandparents close by. Happy for you

I'm always here daily, but only post when I have something to say. I don't have much going on other than staying super busy with my rambunctious boys. I've been worried about my Great Aunt who had a heart attack & then stroke. It seems like she's getting better day by day, but only time will tell.

Here.......

Whats new....not much, just have been working working working!

I'm here!

DS is napping and then we're going to have a picnic at a winery nearby with my parents and aunt and uncle. I'm excited!

Also, in just about a month, we will be bringing home our newest babies. 6 chicks! Yay! Time to seriously start thinking about our coop. 

Oh my goodness, can you imagine all our LO's with little chicks!? You'll have to take pictures of Q with them! If we lived close by, I'd totally be your friend to hang out in your mini-farm with you! I'd love to have one myself but I just don't have the energy. 

Aww, that WOULD be fun! I will definitely take pictures of Q with the chicks. I am really excited to see what he thinks of them.  

so excited 2010

I lurk several times a week. Busy summer of activities for 4 kids. We worked really hard to find things to do to please our big age range 14 months to 15yrs old. Had 4 weeks off which was lovely but tiring with day trips, etc.
I am hoping MH and I can go on a cruise late fall but it seems that expenses keep popping up! We're buckling down with our budgeting. Oh well, a girl can dream.
I am also jelly of all the BFP's even though our family keeps us plenty busy. Not to mention DH is snippitysnipped.

I don't post much, but I lurk all the time. DS and I are waiting for DH's current work contract to end so he can come home to us. He has been in Cincinnati for almost a month and we really miss him. He'll be home sometime in September, no definite date yet, but we're hoping for sooner rather than later. DH working that job has allowed me to be a SAHM, but it's too hard being apart these long stretches so I'm going to be looking for a part time job once he gets home. I've never been away from DS yet except the one time DH took him to the store around 6 months or so, and they were only gone about 30 minutes. Needless to say, I'm really apprehensive about leaving DS, but I know it's what is best for my family. He will be with DH, who he has tons of fun with, so hopefully it'll be fine.

Today we are going over to my brother's house for a bbq. I'm hoping his girlfriend and him don't spring any news on us... but I have a strange feeling. I don't know what would be worse, pregnant or engaged. Hopefully it's neither.

I'm not sure when we are going to TTC again, either ASAP, or a year from now. I'd like to have another Summer baby. We'll see.

PurdueMama14

I'm still here! Mostly lurking though. I started working full time a few weeks ago and it's definitely going to take me a while to adjust. I haven't been on the computer as much, because I've been trying to spend as much time as I can with my little cutie when I'm home since I'm putting in more hours at work.

DH and I have talked about TTC #2 around Nov/Dec of this year! Sometimes the thought of having 2 terrifies me though. Eeek!

Andie_83

I'm here, a lot of lurking! I'm having a big struggle right now. I've finally gotten some motivation and I've lost 9lbs in 6 weeks. I have another 10 to lose, but I really want to have my Mirena removed. I know we got super lucky getting KU on the first try with Z, but it's always in the back of my mind that it will happen again. So a part of me wants to keep it in and lose the weight I want to lose before TTC again, but another part of me wants it out now bc it "might" take a while to get pregnant.

Andrea52408

I am still here.  I do not know where August went!!  But I am glad it is over.  I haven't been around a lot because I started a part-time job and have been picking up extra hours while DH is home.

I went for an early ultrasound this week and they moved my due date up 10 days.  So when I change my ticker it should say 12weeks 1day.  

megastar007

Still around  Don't get to post a ton, but I still lurk!  Exciting news..... Jameson finally took his first steps on Tuesday!  He is super stubborn and doesn't like to walk, but he's taken up to 4 steps before falling Exciting news for me is that I got a teaching job!  Plus, it's only part time in the mornings so I get to spend lots of time with Jameson still!

Sa2827

I lurk maybe once a week if im lucky.... I am mostly using the fb june mamma board its faster and easier for me.

What is going on with me, just had baby number 2 he is doing great its amazing how different they can be from your first! totally threw me for a loop.  DD was not as vocal and exactly on a 3hr schedule and this one all over the place.  I am on TB now instead of taking a shower... im sure ill regret that later haha 

 

stuck322

I'm here mostly lurking. Not much new here just trying to get used to being mommy of 2.

Diver0214

I'm here just dealing with a sick/teething LO. Getting ready to switch rooms so that the girls can share a room and my SS will have his own. He currently has the bigger one so we need to decorate both.

bookkitten

I'm here, mostly lurking when I can. I've been working as a consultant at a local public library - it was supposed to be 4 hours a week in office but has turned into 12-16 over 3-4 mornings, so there goes some of my free time. (Luckily, that gig should end in another month or so.) Also trying to prep for a yard sale this next weekend and waiting for my husband's union to either come to an agreement with the company or call for a strike. Stressed out and not sleeping - will be glad when it's all over!

KYBABY2011

HERE!!!! ::raises hand::  Working on starting my Scentsy adventure, and hopefully selling our house this month!

harlos40

Still here. Mostly lurking but popping in for advice every now and then.  Taking Kaiya on her first flight to visit family in Oklahoma in a couple weeks.  DH and I are really nervous because Kaiya is in a very active stage right now.... sitting on a plane is not going to be her idea of fun!

mandckempf

I'm here.... daily lurker...

 

Only 2 more weeks and we finally move back to the US from Argentina. (Its been a year and a half and I'm totally over it.) I also got my BFP a few weeks ago and have had way more morning/allday sickness so far with this one. At least I get to have an ultrasound done next week before we leave! FX for a healthy peanut and strong heartbeat.

 

Ugh. These next couple of weeks can not go fast enough! I'm ready to be home!

 

JavaVino910

I'm late, but here! We just got back from the lake. Watched fireworks on the boat last night... it was so much fun!

kimbo1216

Really B?  A roll call on a Saturday? 

I'm still here!  Duh.  lol.  I don't think there is anything new going on with me that y'all don't already know about.  We're in a stand still right now.  Trying to sell our house.  And wanting to be in a new house next year with #2 on the way.  ::fx::  Here's hoping!

I was trying to liven the board up and this was all I could think of. A lot of people have checked in so far. And as slow as things have been it should still be on the top of the page come Tuesday. LOL

Jaytee501

Here, too! James is 15+ mos (5.21.11 baby), talking up a storm, energetic and difficult to keep up with! House-hunting in northern NJ. NO. FUN.

amypogg6

I'm here...
School starts on Tuesday so I will be more active. I did a lot more lurking over the summer but can post more often during the school year during my free periods. Em will be 15 months tomorrow. So crazy. Hmmm, the only other thing going on with us is we are trying for 2 like many of you have. I can't wait to come back!

Nickiechan

I am here! I was on vacay this weekend, but I'm here!

 

Des is doing wonderful! He is getting so big and I have a feeling our babywearing days are almost over... Or at least he is going through that 'phase'.

This month we went from PNP to WTH, so I guess you could say we're TTC.

At first I read this as "pack and play" and was very confused!

Ha!  Guess I should clarify that we went from "pull and pray" to "what the hell"

 

I wish all you dirty lurkers would post more!

lbursey

I am here (sometimes).  Mostly lurking with the occasional post.  I just got a new job and it's been great so far.  Unfortunately it means I'm back to work full time so less time with the little guy.
