Skyline - so sorry about the incidents taking place at your home and your neighborhood. My mom is living in a neighborhood like that, and I worry about her there by herself while my older sister works 2nd shift. Are you all feeling better and over your colds?

Miracle - I know the time between now and your appointment seems like forever! Glad you found the support group. I will say try not to feel down...but I also know how hard that can be. Hate to hear about your rent going up and the car needing repairs..trust me, we've been there before and it can be really stressful.

Lschrader - I'm excited for you and the prospects ahead of you. Sorry your levels were lower than last time. Try not to let that bother you too much. It doesn't mean things are impossible, just harder. I'm really glad you seem happy with this team of specialists.

Football - Way to go! What exciting news! He'll be here before you know it! Are you having time to just sit back and take a breath, or are things still going full tilt for you?

Zyara - how are you? Has AF shown up for you yet? I'm sorry if she has and I missed it. Hope you're doing well. Not knowing the next step can be scary. We're here for you if you need a place to vent or just talk.

Bhana - I understand the desire for a girl! All together, my dh has 5 sons (2 from his 1st marriage, 3 with me), so when we had our dd it was a huge surprise but of course a special blessing. She's praying hard we'll be blessed with another little girl. How are you?

Stepmommy - I'm so sorry you had such a horrible time with drs in the past! Did you get to go and have them find out why you're feeling so badly now? How are you?

Afm - not much has changed since last time I posted, other than my 2nd DS missed his orthopedic appointment for his foot due to the blizzard we had. 34 1/2" of snow all at once is a LOT of snow. I was thanking God He gave us our two older sons when my dh had to go out and plow/shovel it all away from our sidewalks and the church property and steps. It took them almost 6 hours of hard work to get it cleared, and they were wiped out when it was done. We put up the crib for Titus tonight that my dh's brother and his wife gave us, so Titus is out of the pack n play and in it right now. I got all teary eyed seeing a crib in our house again after 8 years. We rearranged our house and took out the kitchen table and chairs and put the pack n play in there instead, so Titus can sit in it while I cook and I can keep an eye on him. I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up that we'll have more children, but it's difficult when you're surrounded by all the paraphernalia!

Hi Ladies! I've done it again, left it too long and there's so much to catch up on so i'll briefly touch base with you all.

Rebecca- My! You have had a busy difficult few months. Hope you get the rest you need soon, I know your family are a great support.

Sky- Gosh, I do hope the area gets to grips with who's terrorising your neighbourhood, the hooligans! I am 16 weeks tomorrow, thank you for asking (twice, I apologise )

Athena- Love keeping up to date with your hard work paying off, you look great! Eli's outfit was so cute for the superbowl!!

Football- Yey!! You have done it all on your own Can't believe the lil fella will be here soon. The nursery looks great. Awaiting the news of his arrival.

LSchrader- Glad things are well on there way with the IVF. You make sure you keep your head held high, like the ladies said, it's a matter of when it happens not if. I have certainly been praying for you.

Miracle- Hi Mrs! Hope your keeping well and you get the answers you need soon.

Pisces- Hello! How are you and your family?

Hello new ladies, you have certainly found a great forum for the best support throughout your journeys.

I hope I haven't forgotten anyone, I'm rushing, due in work shortly to deliver some training after a week off.

AFM: I'm 16 weeks tomorrow, It has gone so fast! Had my latest midwife visit last week and listened to the heartbeat which was perfect! Waiting for next ultrasound appointment to come through to check everything is ok and find out the gender! We definitely want to know! I wonder if i'll break the chain of boys or carry it on?! Wanna guess? Having scans every month from 20 weeks to check progress and consultant has brought due date to 14th July as she doesn't want me to go over 39 weeks due to stress and worry but if things are fine and im not worried I may waver the induction. Right I promise I am checking in but not writing too often due to being kept busy by family hijacking me for visits every week which is great but tiring.
Your all in my thoughts regularly.

Hi Ladies, hope you all well. Ysterday I tested and got the faint positive, i could not sleep all night happy as ever. I posted the picture and was voted positive by most of the voters.

Monday I woke up and off to work with the joy in my heart, hoping to test in two day from today(Monday).

Ah! during body break from the meeting I attended, I went to the loo, guess what ugly AF smiled at me, i was so devastated and angry but hey, life goes on.

Story of my life, lool

Cheers ladies

@rebecca - Still a lingering cough/sore throat, but 99% well. Man, that was a lot of snow! Still haven't gotten any here yet, there is still a good chance we get some February snow, but I'm not holding my breath. I saw the pic of the crib!

@Bean - 16 weeks! I was 16 weeks with Oliver when we found out he was going to be a boy. It was also when I had that awful fibroid pain! I'm going to guess Baby Girl! Can't wait to find out. Don't let those hijackers tire you out , stay rested!

@Bhanna - Oh no. It sounds like you may have had a chemical. Sending you (((hugs)))!

@LSchrader - All I can say is BOOOOOOO!!! Such a gut wrenching loss. If only they had run the ball, it's hard to imagine they would have lost. EVEN if they had lost running the ball, it would have been somewhat bearable, but to lose on that awful pass play... My boss just told me that the Falcons have hire Seattle's defensive coordinator, which makes excited for the Falcons... but sad for Seattle. I hope it doesn't hurt them to lose him!

Hope everyone else is having a good day and checks in soon!

OH MY GOODNESS OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!!!!!!!

HAVEN'T CAME HERE IN SO SO SO SO LONG!!!!!!!!!!!

HOW IS EVERYONE?!?!?!!?!?!?

@Skyline- OMH I am seriously in mourning!! What a blow! I have read two articles so far today from sports analysts explaining why they did what they did...and after reading it, i get it...but STILL! Give the ball to Lynch! Beast Mode! haha. So sad, but we have a great team still. Yes he signed before the SB. I am not too sure what will happen, but can only wish him the best!!!

Pretty sure I O'd yesterday, so the count is on ladies....AF should be here Feb 18th, an i am counting down the days till Feb 18th so i can start my meds! So excited!

I'D LOVE FOR YOU GUYS TO GO CHECK OUT MY ETSY SHOP -- i make headbands for babys and toddlers and will be adding bow ties soon.

Skyline -- hows your little man?!!? [thats Gabriella in the pic]

@LSchrader - So what did the analysts say the reason for the play was?? I'm curious!

@makeup - HEY!!! She is so sweet! Awesome headbands too! Oliver is doing great, he will be 5mo on the 6th!

We all found each other on FB, look me up if you want to stay in touch if you get too busy to check back here. I'm on Facebook as Rebekah Marie Provence

@skyline- here is the article if you want to read!

@LSchrader - I guess there is a whole lot to consider when calling plays, but it seems like in these high stakes scenarios it's tempting to overthink things... So I agree, give the ball to Lynch! lol I was really wanting Chris Matthews to get MVP, too. He was so great!
