Congrats Spitfire! I am so happy for you! I am still trying with the help of a team of Professionals, a bunch of drugs, and a husband who is wonderful. I have one more IUI before they do laproscopy on me. Then, 3 more IUI's and if those don't take then the big IVF. The way I look at it, I have two wonderful stepsons and two fantastic godsons, but would love to be a mom. If it doesn't happen, that is fine, but if it does, it's an added bonus to my life. I hope you have a healthy happy bundle of joy. I am so excited for you. You had better keep me posted on how you are doing!

Jeez Jen I do wish you luck. That must be hard to deal with all the time. I wondered if it would be coming to that place for us because we were working on our 2nd year of trying. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!!

Thanks sweetie! I took this month off because the specific timing and all the drugs can definitely wear on you at times (not to mention the hot flashes--geez louise, they are awful), but I will start back up around the 1st of April. With all the stress, there are some funny moments though. Husband was going to try to give me a shot at the beginning of this whole process. I had the medicine mixed and ready to go for him to inject in my hip. Well, he got the shot in my hip, and then proceeded to pass out cold hitting his head on the floor. Needle hanging out of my hip, husband out cold on the floor, it was a postcard moment! Needless to say, I now go to Labor and Delivery to have a nurse give me my shots. Too much for such a strapping man to handle! Keep those fingers crossed! Do you know what you are having?

Hi Gracie and thanks for the good wishes!! I don't know what flavor I'm having. We were had always thought that we didn't want to know so that's what we decided while we were having the ultrasound. As soon as we left we both looked at each other and said we should have found out. Doesn't really matter either way although I'm pullin for girl only because there is only grandsons on both sides so far. If anyone has any suggestions for names....bring it on. I always like to hear what other people like. I have been thinking about starting a baby name thread just for fun.

Wargod Jr! Spit, my mommy advice: Keep first aid kits stocked and ready to go (cars, house, babysitters,) if you haven't already, take a first aid/cpr class (hopefully you'll never need it, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared, and yes, my kids have been accidents waiting to happen the past few days so this is on my mind more now than usual, lol,) and one of the most important for you and your hubby, set up date night now, follow it religiously! Sometimes we get so focused on being parents that we forget to be a couple. Date night gives you a chance to go out alone together, get connected, recharge your batteries a little, and lets you remember that not only do you have the world's most important job (being mom and dad) but that you also have a responsibility to take care of yourself. I'm a firm believer that it's a good thing to have some time away from your children, and an equally firm believer that it is the hardest thing we do. Jen, I will keep positive thoughts and prayers coming your way. Good luck to you and your dh!

I always liked the names Grace, Amelia, Abigail, Gabrielle (I would call her Gabby) for a baby girl and even though my husband likes traditional names like John or Brian, I always thought the name Maxwell (Max for Short) with the middle name Montgomery would get a child a second look for College Applications. I live in Texas and some of the names for boys are something else! Have a friend that just had a baby boy and his name is Rowdy! Great advice War! Good luck Gals.

Jen we must have similar taste. On my list of "likes" are Abigail (Abby) and Gabrielle (Ella). I also like Grace (Gracie) but it's a name that my SIL has always wanted to use so I'm waiting for her to have a girl. For girls I also like Ava, Avery and Kali. I also like Sam for a girl or boy. My DH likes Wyatt for a boy. He usually doesn't have much of an opinion so if it's a boy we will probly stick with that but I still am open for suggestions. We have a "W" last name and I am a little leary on Wyatt for that reason.

Wargod I knew you would have terrific advice. I am all for date night!!!! I think to many parents don't get the chance to continue to enjoy each other and that could make a household fall apart. I also believe that each individual person needs alone time and will make sure to try to give that to myself. I know all this is easy to say, but I really want to try to make it a reality.

I like Sam because it is a strong name. I also like Wyatt. Ella is a pretty nic for Gabrielle! I have a friend that named her daughter Grace, but I just might use it for a middle name! Way to go team! You gals were awesome!

I have a niece named Alexandria, she's called Lexie for short. I just love that. Spitfire, start practicing now for date night and me time, lol. You will feel so guilty for leaving your little one even though you know its neccessary. I've been working on getting me time the last month or so, and I still feel horrible for saying, "I need to get out by myself," lol.

Was wondering if you could vote for me next week? I am taking the week off work and have no computer at home. I may go to my mom's and check up on stuff but I can't count on it. Is that OK with you?

Yes...Will do...do you have a voting preference, cause I don't have a clue on who yet? If not, I will do my best to pick wisely! I hope you have a wonderful week off!

Okay, I voted to the best of my ability and I am offering an apology in advance in case I blew it! Good luck gals! WTG this past week Hamster! I am very impressed! Everyone is doing great as well, but I am sliding down the hill just slow enough to get grass stains!

Thanks Jen! I think that was my best score yet! Although, I forgot to make my picks last night so I just made them so I won't be getting my 80 points. Y'all are all doing so great! Our team is in soooooooo much better shape than Pearl Islands. Naked A.S.S. Beauties kick rear! Spit: And BTW, I LOVE the names Gabrielle or Gabriella. Gabi, Ella, Elli...all the possibilities!

Hi everyone! Sheesh, haven't even checked here in awhile. I'm always forgetting to vote on Monday and fly in Tues; study, vote and leave. We did great this week! Movin on up. Sorry I didn't get the 80 points..got 40, but I did okay in my guesses and all but one was a guess, lol...well a kind of studied guess. Congratulations on your impending arrival, Spitfire! We have a Gabriella and a Gabrielle in this neighborhood and they both go by Gabby. It's a popular name right now. Of course, I'm partial to Molly Kathleen, as that's my granddaughter's name, lol. Jen, I'm so sorry you're having problems and I'll be thinking of you and hoping for the best. Keep the faith, as they can do miracles these days with the help of modern science. Go Naked Ass Beauties!!! I'm going to vote tomorrow if I have time, because I know I'll forget on Monday! Have a Wonderful Easter everyone!
