IT'S FRIDAY!

FINALLY!! Friday is here. Two more days till Super Bowl Time!!! Going to St V's tonight to visit a friend in the hospital. Otherwise I'm staying inside. It's just to cold to be out and about. Haven't found an OB in Crawfordsville willing to take me on basically because of my band. Looks like I might have to go to Indy. Recommendations anyone? Might call Dr Clark's office and see if they have any suggestions or maybe even a referral. Found some prenatal vitamins small enough for me to swallow and not to big that it puts pressure on my band. Developing my "pregnancy pooch" look already. What's everyone else up to??? Jodi

Hi all- So glad the weekend is here! I have all my homework done!!! So I am going to try and find something fun and wild to do this weekend. Jim and I really need to cut loose and do something different. We are not into football so all that stuff is out, but I am going to find something non responsible to do. Anyone have any good ideas? Jodi, I just wanted to tell you how brave I think you are for all that you are going threw now! I think being pregnant at my age would be real hard and I commend you for being so upbeat and having such a great enthusiasm for life. I will pray that you find a great doctor and have nothing but glowing fun all nine months!!! Blessings all, Carmen

Carmen, Thank you for the well wishes and prayers. I don't think being in your mid 30's is to late/old for a baby. I'm realistic to know that my chances are greater because of my age for birt defects - but I'm young at heart and have been wanting a child since Gage was about five years old. I guess GOD decided that my time wasn't ready till now and I diffently feel blessed. My bf has already told me he hopes this isn't the only one we can have - we are talking about getting married - because he'd like to have at least one more after this one is born. That's something we'll have to wait and see on but we are both feeling lucky, blessed, and happy about this one. Jodi

Jodi and Jan- I didn't mean to imply that mid 30 was too old I meant that it was hard! My body moans and groans with just me in it I think I personally would have a hard time sharing it with someone else! I know lots of women that have babies well into their 40's I am just such a selfish whimp I wanted you to feel proud of the job you are about to do and how unselfi**** is!!! I was trying to give you a compliment but I guess it came out wrong! Sorry and be blessed, Carmen I will have pink thoughts for you so Gage might have a sister!

Nah I got it was a compliment. That's why I said thank you, ya dorkess!!! HAha. I kinda wish I would have waited to have Gage till I was a little after 30. I know so much now about life in general to be a better parent then I did at 23 when I had Gage. Don't pray to hard... if Gage gets his way it will girlS.. as in twin sisters for him.... hahahah! I DON'T THINK SO!!!!!

TGIF! That's about all I can say! I am just so glad it's Friday. My brain desparatey needs to be able to check out for a few days. My next project at work requires ALL of my attention in order to do it safely. I have been dragging my feet in doing it all week because I know I'm just not 100%. I haven't even been able to sew this week. My next project is a Christmas train and the instructions are really crappy so I know I'm going to have to be 'with it' in order to not screw it up. Bill & I aren't football fans...no offence to the Colts...but just aren't spectator sport fans at all. So..plan on catching up on some zzzzz's and clearing my mind all weekend. Gotta get through today first though.... Sherri

Carmen, what do you mean at your age. You are still just a kid. I saw yor BD. You are bicentenial baby just 7 months older than my daughter. I was your age when my son was born.Gesssh. Jodi, congratulations. You'll do great. Enjoy being pregnant. The hard part starts when they come out.

Jan, Thanks for the congrats. So far I'm enjoying this pregnancy very much. Know all about the hard parts. I have a 13 yr old too. He'll be a few months shy of being 14 yrs old when his sibiling is born. This isn't his first sibiling either. He has a half brother from his father who is 8 yrs old. He's all excited with us but is hoping for a baby sister. Jodi

WOOHOO!!! Weekend is here! Hope everyone has a GREAT one! Hugs to all -- Tina

Hello, just wanted to say thanks for the replies to my "February" posting. It's Friday, and I'm off work today. In fact, I have the whole weekend off from my other job too. I am thinking about going to visit my parents in Hammond. Linda Vicory
