April...don't feel guilty! You're not a pain either. My mom gave me a paper from like 2nd grade that I had to answer what you want to be when you grow up. I put " I want to be a nurse to help the dr. with all his pashunts" Then as I got older mom kept telling me I should be a lawyer b/c I was so stubborn and would NOT loose an arguement ever. I'd do anything to prove her wrong ...but I couldn't do that...I couldn't help someone I felt was guilty. I really wish I would have gone to college right out of HS but everything happens for a reason. I know so many people that have degrees they don't use.. I guess it's just something I feel passionate about. After delivering Kenny, you have no idea what I dealt w/for almost 5 years... I finally had surgery last year but if I could help one woman from going through what I went through...it would be worth it. I don't know if it is a calling though??



oh pozey

Yeah pozey hmmmm

$1900... I would have rather spent that at Disney

 

[ForTheLoveofDisney]

I just thought of something... there is a song by Jimmy Buffett called "Coast of Carolina" if you get a chance listen to it.

Thanks Sewer! I just downloaded it to my iPod. Thanks for the song. It's a great song and thanks for thinking of me. I love Jimmy Buffett and thanks for thinking of me.

Donna: I guess you just have a lot to say! It must be the daily breakfasts, yeah that's the ticket.

I almost forgot to tell you guys!! Exciting news...


I put Emma's princess dress on her again today, after me and my mom both talking it up to her, and she LOVES IT now!! I guess she just had to get used to the idea and be in the mood to wear it. We put it on her as soon as we got home this evening and she sat around watching tv and eating fruit snacks in it. Yay!

*but she still won't let me call her Princess Emma Rose - "I'm just Emma Rose!"*

April... so many times I've thought about being a surrogate...but Mike says no. If I could help someone w/a gift like I have...

I've got to tell you guys, and maybe it's the alcohol talking, that the hardest thing we ever had to go through as a couple was when that birth mom changed her mind at the last minute!! in our adoption. That had to be the hardest thing! I still think of my little Ava and cry. But, she obviously wasn't mine.

I guess adoption was our last hope and so here I am now trying to find my "other" purpose in life because obviously a mother isn't it.

ETA:: Linda, you have a very big heart to even consider giving such a gift. You are a good person.

 

[lindakmonty]

Ok guys...I've gotta call it a night.

Have a great weekend everybody... lyzziesmom, have fun w/your mom in the morning.

Nathan...good luck at your game !!!

sewer and pozey...have fun trying to catch up w/us chatty ladies

April It'll be ok!

Oh April that doesn't mean you have to give up!!! We have friends that have adopted 2 children... I know there are surrogates out there that you could check into...If your heart is set on having a child in your lives, then darn it ...that is what you'll have! My aunt was a foster parent and ended up adopting 3 brothers.

 

[lindakmonty]

ok...I gotta turn in...Mike is already in bed. Hope he warmed it up for me!!! Sorry...TMI

April: Don't give up. You are still young, and just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it never will, it just means the time is not right. You never know what doors may open to you in the future, just stay open to the possibility. I can't imagine how hard that must have been, just like losing a child. When I was young, we did foster care for newborns and the first one, we had her for 4 months. Her mother was 17 and in foster care herself, the girl didn't know she was preg, went into the ER with a tummy ache and came out with a baby, so she gave it over to foster care and we took her home. After four months of caring for and loving this baby, the "mother" decided to take her back. It was so hard to give her back, I was so upset and I was only 12. I can't imagine the heartache you must have gone through.

Perhaps you could redirect your purpose in life, and care for other people's children? Maybe you could look into being a nanny or an in-home daycare provider.

If nothing else, perhaps Linda could surrogate for you, if we can talk Mike into it.

ETA:: Linda, you have a very big heart to even consider giving such a gift. You are a good person.

awww. thank you. I just think how much Kenny means to me..and how much better my life is now...just more fulfilling. The love you have for them...it is unbelievable. If I could help someone that is not able...to make it a reality for them... it would just be the best feeling!!!

lyzziesmom... yeah...what you said

 

[lindakmonty]

Ok.... good night ladies...

Mickey is calling...my Mickey blanket that is

 

[DonnaLeah]

Great news about Emma and her dress. I'll bet she looks adorable in it!! I'll remember to just call her Emma Rose.


April:: I had a many problems when Gary and I decided to have a baby....tubal pregnancy in '91 and miscarriage in early '96. I found out I was having Nathan in early '98 when I was 42 years old!!! It may happen for you; just may take a while. Think your career choices through and decide what you REALLY want to do. I never thought in a million years that my life would have turned out the way it did. I guess what I'm trying to say is we sometimes don't have the final say in our lives, it's in God's hands.

Thanks, Linda, in having more confidence in me than I have in myself.

Goodness, Lyzziesmom I know that had to be hard. That's why I'm scared of fostering. I honestly don't think I could take them being taken back. It was horribly difficult. And in that last meeting, we picked her up, like we had every other time and in the ehnd we had to take her home. I felt like saying. "Hell, you nede to walk home." But we didnt'. Dummy us, actually took her home. Talk about awkward silence. I later heard that she did deliver a healthy baby girl. My heart hurt a little that day.

Thanks, Donna. You are an inspiration.
