I miss O13!

[blueflower]

I miss all the ladies from our time on the bump. I wish this board were more active!

I'm guessing a whole lot of O13 babies have become big siblings. We haven't done anything to prevent pregnancy since having our DD2 in O13, but not surprisingly haven't been able to conceive. DD2 took almost 3 years to conceive and I haven't been back to the RE yet. But I would love to add a third or fourth child to our family!

So hello out there to any O13ers who are still hanging around! I miss everyone!

Hi! I was an Oct13er on the other site. I wasn't a daily poster but my name over there was melimopickles. I miss having a group that's good through the same thing at the same time. I had my 2nd boy this past Thanksgiving and my older boy absolutely loves being a big brother. He "helps" with diapers, bath time, bottles and playing with the baby. Every night he asks if the baby can sleep in his room with him.

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Yep. Our O13 girl became a big sis this past Jan. I do really wish the board was still active. I even see the board I am in for #2 already becoming less active.

Hi ladies! I miss you all!

Declan is a fiercely independent, rambunctious, crazy toddler.
Congrats to all the new additions!

Hope everyone is doing good.

Hey I hate tapatalk and have a hard time using my laptop. Jo thinks it's hers. I'm trying to come back though since I found out I'm pregnant.

deeds1017,so sorry to hear about the divorce, but glad DD is doing well!

[PA Mom]

DD is getting so big, so quickly. I signed her up for pre-school at the school I work for in the fall. How is she already old enough for preschool? No 2nd baby yet and probably not anytime soon. Daycare costs kill us.

Hi everyone!

Foster Daughter went home 2 months ago. And we're expecting baby #3. I'm due in Aug. That's pretty much all the new stuff with us.

Glad to see everyone posting here!

Was it hard when she left? Do you get to see her again or is that not how it works? If this is too nosey, feel free to ignore. Congratulations on #3!

It was a kinship foster, which means I am (sorta) related to the mother, so it was slightly different than regular fostering. Because I know the mom I knew she had not changed and so it was really hard when the baby left because I knew she was going back to the same crappy situation. And I was right. CPS was supposed to step in again if mom did this one thing and she did and they know, but as far as I know they haven't stepped back in again. The system completely failed in this situation.

Technically I can see the baby again if mom agrees but it is better if I stay out of it. The situation turned into a huge mess and almost broke up that part of the family. Plus my heart really hurts for the baby and I'm not sure I can handle seeing the mom continue to do really stupid but not CPS-worthy things that she KNOWS she's not supposed to do but does anyway because she does not care about her baby at all. She only cares about herself- the baby is just an accessory to her. Oh, and she's pregnant again :/

I have  LOT of feelings on this- all negative. I've just been praying hard for this little girl because there is not anything else I can do.

Thank you- we are excited for #3! We had been not trying-not preventing since my cycles returned after DD2 turned 8 months, so it was a bit of a shock but a happy one. DD1 actually told me I was pregnant before I tested. She started rubbing my belly telling me I had a new baby sister in there. I told her I did not but she insisted. I realized my period hadn't arrived yet so I tested the next morning and a line immediately appeared. Ha- she was right! She's insistent that this one is a girl so we'll see in 2 weeks!

Congrats crunchy!!

I decided to randomly check in here today! On TCF, I'm usually on Parenting or my Sept15 BMB....

We are doing well over here! Just busy with two little girls! Georgia is doing well, talking so much, bossy but sweet as ever. And she adores her little sister, Isla, who will be 6 months on Thursday! They are opposites so far, so it will be fun to see how they are as they grow.

Hope all you ladies are doing well!

Sorry about the divorce deeds1017 but glad your DD is doing well!
Congrats crunchymama11
I am doing well and so is DS. Growing way too fast of course. I did have a miscarriage in July and that was really hard. I am now expecting again and due in early September.

[clarkebar1013]

Congrats to everyone for the new arrivals and/or soon to be arrivals.
deeds1017, sorry to hear.

We are having DS2 in 2 weeks. I had a c/s with DS1, and this one is scheduled for April 13th. I'm pretty nervous/excited/anxious etc all at once. I accidentally got forwarded an email last week about my surprise baby shower here at work on April 1st, lol. So that is exciting.

My dad is still receiving treatment, we were receiving all good news until recently. The most recent scans are showing the nodules in his lungs are outsmarting the cancer treatment and are beginning to grow. It's been a hard pill to swallow, but we are all taking one day at a time. Talk about a roller coaster ride from hell.

Hey ladies. I was pretty active on TD O13 (my SN there was rsigler). I was so sad when everything went down and everyone either left or migrated to the FB group (I don't FB). Nice to see a few updates with the ladies here, although I'm sorry to hear about your divorce deeds (haven't figure out tagging on PB yet). We were unexpectedly surprised with a BFP back in Nov, and are expecting a LO in July, so I've been hanging out here on the July15 board. We are Team Green this time, wjth no preference except for a live, healthy baby.

Have fun at your "surprise" baby shower!
