Re: Wanting but Waiting...
FancyPants, we need a jogging stroller because there are very few sidewalks where we live. We mostly walk (and run) on the canal path near our house. It's beautiful and pretty flat, but the surface varies, from grass to dirt to stones and gravel. We definitely need something heavy duty. I'm looking ... |

Re: Worst Wedding Gift
FancyPants, if you still want an ornament, I can definitely hook you up! Lol. Funny, I told the wedding party not to give us gifts, either, but they all did anyway. The friends who did not give gifts were almost all recently married couples whose weddings we had attended. I don't really care about g... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
Thanks, tammy! I would definitely like to try breastfeeding, pumping, etc., My biggest concern is that, if all goes according to plan, I will be dealing with a new teaching position and a new baby at roughly the same time (just a few months in between). So I would be in a new environment, with new c... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
mp, does this mean you'll be TTC soon? Much dust to you in whatever you decide. I hope it will be easy for you this time, but you are prepared either way, so you know it will happen when it happens, and it will be another little miracle. I cannot stop looking at strollers online. And carseat adapter... |

Re: Worst Wedding Gift
We got a spatula and a turkey baster from a couple of DH's friends. I mean, they're practical gifts, I guess. I'm sure we can use them at some point. But I really felt weird writing "thank you so much for the spatula and turkey baster" on their thank you note. Whatever. I was also surprise... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
Yeah, I fully admit that part of the reason I'm excited about being pregnant is because I have no idea what it feels like to be pregnant. For you ladies who already have little ones, I'm sure I sound nuts, and I'm sure once I am pregnant, I'll have a few "with was I thinking?" moments. But... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
I'm with megumic as well. My SIL is now pregnant with her second, and I swear, even when she is talking about morning sickness and peeing all the time, all I can think about is how much I want that. Speaking of, I feel like I'm getting a little preview of what it might be like today. My period came ... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
Awww, thanks! And if things go as planned we will be pregnant together! BTW I went to Disney right after I found out I was pregnant. I had asked my OB and she said I could go on any ride at that point without concern. Of course if you get pregnant in October you'd probably want to be more careful..... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
Hi ladies, I'm just checking in to let you know I'm still alive, and we're still planning for October of this year! I'm getting nervous at it approaches, but also so excited. DH seems to be 100% on board. The only reservation he has thus far expressed is that he does not want to have to ride the rol... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
gem, I'm sure your husband will come around. It sounds like he just doesn't quite understand what he's in for, which I think is pretty common among 20-30-something guys who have no kids! Many of my guy friends have been through the same thing, but they always come around. And they're great dads in t... |

Re: Wanting but Waiting...
I'm officially rejoining this thread as a married lady. I've been wanting but waiting for ages, but now that we are married it seems that much more real. We really have no business having a baby now as I just lost my job a week before the wedding, and DH is working as a contractor for now, with no j... |

Re: getting lost in stupid stuff
I want to thank you all for your support and let you know that our wedding was AMAZING. I forgot all about the things that were stressing me out. We had such a wonderful weekend and are so happy to be married! The rest will work itself out eventually. DH has not [yet?] been offered a permanent posit... |

Thanks, LJL! We're happy to have you on board! I can't believe it's the last week before my wedding. I have no idea where all that time went! Mico requested to be added on the old thread, just in case you didn't see it. Yay for new members! |

Re: getting lost in stupid stuff
Thank you, star sparkle and manderz. The funny thing is I feel better now.

We are so broke right now it is ridiculous. We are no... |

Re: getting lost in stupid stuff
Thanks. My meeting isn't until 4:30 so I don't have a definite answer yet, but I am hearing from other departments that quite a few people have been laid off already today. So it is a pretty sure thing. I guess it's nice to know it's not just me, in a way. There seems to be a huge reduction in force... |

Re: getting lost in stupid stuff
On Friday, my boss sent me a link to a job posting in another department. She said she thought it would be a good fit for me, and although she would be sad to see me go, she thought I should apply.
