roxyb Is this silly? Jul 31, 2008 7:35 AM I think this may be a silly question but here goes. My fiance and I are planning on trying to get preggers right after we get married (in Dec.). I would like to have a child born in a certain month - he thinks I'm silly. So my question is - did any of you try to have your child born in a certain month? Is that (fairly) normal?
kiwitwist Adding A Second Child to the Mix... Apr 17, 2008 5:48 AM Okay, I know this will sound odd but I thought it would make a great coversation piece. I was reading an article on popsugar about Kate Hudson wanting baby #2 but she is no longer with her ex. So, this is when my brain started churning. Would you ever have another child with your ex, just for the sake of having a child and knowing that both of your children would be from the same mom/father combo? Know what I mean? For example, if Kate H's ex wasn't involved with anyone why would she not have another child with him? It could work with them since they still like one another. Any thoughts? Sorry for the ramble it is early and my brain isn't functioning quite right yet. Oh and I know a lot of us are happily married so just think of this as a hypothetical please.
ALSW New Babies & Family Names Mar 20, 2008 7:18 AM My cousin just had twins (yay!) this past Sunday and had made us all wait to find out the names. However, when they were finally revealed, I have to say that I wasn't the least bit surprised. My cousin had trouble getting pregnant so their dogs (Ty, Penny, and Bailey) more or less became their children. Well, Bailey passed away a few months ago from cancer so when it came time to name the twins, Bailey got an honorable mention. As did Ty. Meet: Morgan Bailey (As named by her mother) and... Ryan Tyler (As named by his father) It's a little bit unusual, even if the names are fairly traditional. Did you name your children after someone (even a pet!) that you know/knew? Would you?
kiwitwist Donating Your Eggs Mar 20, 2008 6:54 AM This morning I heard on the radio that alot of women donate their eggs in the USA for around $6,000. There was one girl who had donated over 60eggs. WOAH! To me this is crazy! I had a bunch of thoughts in my head as I heard this. A) Could you live knowing you might have a biological child out there? B) What about the risks later in life? C) $6,000 that would solve a lot of money issues, do it twice and you are set (to a point) D) I am very confused E) Is the process painful, uncomfy, what? So, I thought I would see what everyone else thinks of this. As much as I researched (not much) it doesn't look like you can do this in Canada. So, what are your thoughts?
ALSW Is It A Sign? :) Feb 29, 2008 11:51 AM For the last, oh, ten years or so, I feel like I've been on every form of birth control known to man. I know that's not entirely true, but when I look back, I remember taking the pill every morning (and different pills over the years!), I remember pulling the patch off every week and facing that disgusting square of hideousness on my skin where it was :BLECH:, and now I watch the little clock on my bathroom sink and wait for it to beep obnoxiously and tell me when it's time to change the nuvaring. Now, don't get me wrong. Thank goodness for birth control and all its wonders, and I've been incredibly happy overall with the nuvaring this last year and I've rarely had any problems with it. I do have a point to this blog, I swear. And here it is: Do you think it's a sign that after wearing the nuvaring (securely, at least in my mind) since September before last, suddenly it keeps trying to fall out? :) In the last three weeks, the thing has been trying to escape and I diligently replace it, only to have the same problem again a few days later. John finally looked at me and said, "You think it's a sign?" HAHAHAHA! But I do feel, in my heart, that somehow this is going to work out eventually. That John will finally freaking get his tonsils out (March 6, woot!), that I will land this promotion, and that I will finally get the baby I want! Just probably not exactly according to the life plan of Heidi...:) PS - I can't wait until Easter and I can play with my babies! (Family babies, but they're mine now...) Last time I saw my baby girl, Amelia, she told me that I was her favorite person in the whole world. :) Sigh. Cute overload. Can't wait! Amelia - Elton Jane baby. The Burroughs Family - Our Many Generations :) Amelia & Connor - Easter Eggs!
