ok here goes!


I'm pregnant!!!!! number 3 on the way! i'm going to have to ask the tag fairy to please give me a tag that says "nbaby" - you know, magsndennbaby!

so we had a huge scare 2 weeks ago, we had a screening test that showed a possible chromosomal problem. we had been through this before (i was pregnant before i had dennis), so this was a very real and very scary problem. honestly, looking back, i don't know how i got through that time, and i really couldn't face going through it all again.


so we had a test called CVS that is a little like an amnio, and so were waiting for the results for about a week. i truly thank God, and Saint Gerard (the patron saint of mothers) that our prayers were answered and everything is genetically PERFECT!!

so i really want to thank you all for your unconditional support, especially when i was being sooo vague and no one knew what i was worrying about. although, someone did guess, didn't they?

thank you all, my good friends!

 

[disney54us]

Oooohhh magsnden, your back and with good news Yes Yes do share!!!!!

 

[disney54us]

Great news. You really did bring back a extra package from your Disney trip w/DH. So glad everything is perfect. Looks like we need to plan another virtual baby shower!!!!
When are you due??????

 

[dreamin in pa]

magsnden-congratulations!! That is good news. When are you due?

disney54us-I really don't have any words to say about those so called kids in your neighborhood. I'm just very sorry your DS had to go through something like that.

 

[magsnden]

disney54us - what an absolutely horrible story! i'm so sad to even hear that your son had to go through this. how old is your son? these punks? unbelievable. at the very least, it is good to know the moms are upset about it too. i thought you were going to say otherwise. and are you saying these are Catholic school kids???


so yes, this is our little disney souvenir! that's what happens i guess when you go away without your little ones!

we are due in october, i'm almost 4 months now. it was really a blessing that we were able to get this other test done - you have to wait until about 16 wks to get an amnio, then another 10 days or so for results. i don't know if anyone knows about this CVS, but really you can only do it from about 10 - 12 weeks, and since i was further than that, they weren't sure we could do it. thank God they were able to.

as for the disney involvement, DH and i have discussed Mickey (i've always loved the name Mick) for a boy!! funny, right?!

Disney54us
I am so glad he wasn't physically harmed-seriously harmed I mean.

You are so fortunate to have the support of the Moms of the boys.
I hate to have to face those "not my baby" parents. When those "punks" figure out that you are all in communication then they might think twice about pulling that stunt again. Their behavior is criminal and could lead to behaviors that will end them up in juvie or jail.

I hope your son will feel better knowing that you and the whole family will back him up.

 

[MagiKitty]

disney54us...first off, I am so glad that your son wasn't more seriously hurt. It was a blessing. Second, I want to kick those kids for you and your family, but I suppose that's not the mature way to deal with things. I am so inspired and awed by your strength. You did the right thing in dealing with this right away and demonstrating to both your son and your neighbours that this incident is NEVER acceptable.

magsnden! You did bring back a little souvenir! Congrats to you and your family! That's two....things happen in threes...who's next? (and its NOT me). Much happiness that the baby is going to be fine!

It won't be me!!!!!!
I'm planning DH's 50th birthday that sort of "present" would send him running, screaming into the streets. He'd be suspicious anyway since he's always out of town

 

[disney54us]

Thanks, I think what we could say would get us kicked off the boards. Karma what goes around comes around, you just hope sooner then later.

 

[MagiKitty]

Oh! I like the name Mick for a little guy! I imagine him with spiked hair and a full diaper--how cute!

disney54us....my friends this weekend are from the navy--sailors. and let me tell you---I can swear 100x better than they can! I have a potty mouth at times--and what your kid went through is one of those times!

But I believe in Karma too. Its nice.

 

[dreamin in pa]

MagiKitty, you're right about these things happening in 3s but I'm with Bopsmom, it won't be me. Not only would DH be running away from home, my other kids just might join him.

oh darn couldn't get it right so I'll comment later. Have to bring DS his lunch lunchbox went MIA (left at school).

Ahh Hahh!!!! I did guess right. Everyone else went to the negative test results route, but I knew. Congrats to you!!!!
That's 2 of you now. Guess we'll have to stop serving alcohol on this tread now?
Well, maybe just to you two.

 

[M&N]

Let me jump in with my good wishes. I get off for a couple of hours and everyone's having babies! I have an uncle Mickey so I called my aunt Minnie Mouse when I was little. I couldn't (or wouldn't) say Nancy.

Bullies are hard to deal with if parents aren't supportive. Glad the discussion was good. Make sure DS reports the slightest problem...hopefully there won't be any.

Candy bar is still unopened. It's in the bag to go to Mom's but it's not out of mind.

Waiting to find out who's the 3rd.

 

[lighttech]

Checked in at lunch hoping to catch up, and you guys have been so busy! I don't even have time to begin to read from where I last checked in...

But, seems like there's been some rough times, and some old faces checking in. So, welcome back, and happy thoughts and hugs to those in need. Hopefully I'll catch up someday!

Take care everyone!

 

[lighttech]

so yes, this is our little disney souvenir! that's what happens i guess when you go away without your little ones!

we are due in october, i'm almost 4 months now.

OH Magsnden!!! Congratulations... I just caught this in someone else's quote and paged back real quick to clarify. I sense there's more to the story I'm missing, but congrats and good thoughts! I hope you are feeling well and baby is doing well too. Feel free to PM me if you ever want to vent/share/celebrate preggo mommy style! We're pretty close w/in a month or so w/ due dates.

Gotta run to a meeting... but blessings and good luck!

 

[magsnden]

thanks everybody for the good wishes! it really feels good...and scary! 3 kids!? what did i do!!

so maggie will be 4 1/2, dennis will be 2 1/2 when the baby comes. pretty crazy! maggie had just turned 2 when dennis was born, and what a difference. she was always a chatterbox, but she was speaking in full (pretty much) sentences at that time. dennis is almost 2 now (may 17, oh yeah, maggie turned 4 on sunday!) and is no where near talking like that. it makes him seem so much younger, still babyish in that way. it's weird what birth order can do.

so yes, d&ddisney you were right! though i must admit, try as i might, i was having trouble keeping optimistic. like i said, we were pregnant with another baby that had a chromosomal problem that was not a viable situation, so it really made it hard to be positive. does that make sense? i am always a positive, optimistic person, but the real pain and sadness of that situation was hard to ignore when faced with that possibility again.

anyway........that is ALL behind me now! we are just so thrilled all over again. it's as if we're just finding out again, and telling everyone again, you know? of course my MIL wanted to know if we were finding out the sex of the baby. now, a tiny bit of history - we didn't find out with our others, and it has always bothered her. i think it is GREAT that you even have that option, but it just wasn't for us. her daughters have found out and i guess she wanted me to also.

when i was pregnant with dennis, she even went as far as suggesting that the doctor just call her and tell her what we were having! amazing! anyway, i just said (as politely as i could muster) "no we found out exactly what we wanted to know."

so sorry for being a thread hog, now that i'm back i guess i'm back to my chatty old self.

it's good to be back!

 

[lighttech]

Magsnden-
Nonsense... not hogging... we want to hear all the details. (only have a minute here, but wanted to check in quick and read up on more Magsnden -nbaby details.) I can understand you having trouble being optimistic originally... and I'm sorry for any earlier pain that I'm sure you'll always have to deal w/ and for your loss, but congratulations and best wishes on a happy, healthy little one coming into your life now.

Also - for my own purposes... just wanted to remind myself I'm catching up on pg 225. (I always forget and have to try and skim thru... we need an airhead smilie!)
