  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact Hello all! I am trying to work, haha, and thought I would take a moment to say hi adn see if anyone was here to chat.  My week has been hellacious. I got food poisoning on Tuesday and threw up my toenails all night long hten recovered and felt like yuck on Wednesday, thankful my teen drives so he could take siblings to their activities!! THen Thursday I spent 6 hours in the car doing things for the kids and Friday dh had hernia surgery and all was well with him and he's recovering well, but I had the runs all night long. I have had two hours sleep and my tummy is still rolling!!! UGH!   Okay, that's enough of my terrible week. HOw is everyone else doing?

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact Dave's Buttercup: deb12181309: we have a nurse that comes to our house either every two weeks or just once a month (through the navy) to help educate us with kody... watch development and give us info. I love her she's the best. she gave us this 10month questionnaire to fill out and i'm looking at the first set of questions about communication. One asks "if you ask your baby, does he play at least one nurdery game even if you don't show him the activity yourself(such as byebye, peekaboo, clap your hands, so big)" Kody does not do this, he doesn't clap he doesn't even wave. Another question was "does your baby follow one simple command, such as "Come here", "give it to me", or "put it back" without your using gestures". There were a couple more questions, but it just gets me worried. His gross motor, fine motor and problem solving is excellent, it's his personal social and communication i'm worried about. Maybe i'm slacking.   I don't think you're slacking.  The thing I am noticing is that babies that aren't doing one thing are excelling in another thing, you know?  Like activity vs social skill/understanding.  Victor isn't speaking a lot, I mean he yells and makes noises, but his communication is largely with his hands and noise rather than fine tuned words, he is like Kody.  The gross/fine motor skills he's beyond excelled in just not a ton in the communication department.  He claps when he wants to, talks when he wants to, and comes to me when he wants to... even if I ask nicely LOL!  I think questionnares that generalize babies are REALLY stupid!      I definitely agree that they work really hard on one area then go back to another. Roddick can say Mama, Dada, Bot (bottle), uh-oh, yay, baby, no, stop, Edward (sounds like edddwoooord, lol), juice, hi, more and he's signing more and fan, but only takes about two steps without help right now and rarely even attempts to walk instead of cruise or crawl without a lot of prompting and encouragement.

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact Hello... Today is finally over thank god. I sold the ring & got a whopping $100 for it & after making my rounds at Target (where I got the same mean special needs cashier) and then BRU, I have about $30 left. I think I lost 10 bucks somewhere along the way. I know I didn't spend $70. Grrrrr... Search the diaper bag tomorrow. Right now I'm lazy. ASU lost tonight and I am soooo glad, means no victory parties in my hood. Lol. Oh well I went to see that old gf today & it went ok until her husband came home on his luncch & was just a complete a-hole. Ignored both her & I. He works w/ adrian too. Anywho, usually when we "catch up" she tries to rub things in my face about being married. But seems things aren't so perfect in paradise & she's gotten fat! Lol she said she's gained 30lbs since getting married in March. she's fatter than I am! And it felt good! But it was nice chatting. She wants babies he doesn't... Things you shouldve discussed bia before marrying him after being together only a year.

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact Aidans kind of doing neither verbal nor motor skills I mean he crawls & can stand and has attempted steps but now walking. He says mama, dada, blah blah but isn't recognizing that I'm mama or adrians dada. But I am not worried. This 1 weeks away from MIl's I've seen huge differences in him! He's happier more energy and he's standing more on his own. Its a nice change

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact Oops meant to say not walking. Well I'm confused about ovulation days, so maybe Melanie can help here, do you ovulate 5 or 10 days? Pw tells me the 6th thru the 16th and then baby center booty caller tells me the 7th thru the 12th so 5 days. I'm confued. When we were having sex the 1st month of the nfp we followed the 10 days & then the following months we did the 5 days & never got pregnant. But that couldve been dumb luck.

The way you described how iy looked sounded like he might be being fed something he shouldn't/ you wouldn't want him fed.

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact LOL! Some people should REALLY get to know one another before they get married! Dave and I were only together for one year (off the record) but we's soul mates LOL. I bet it was nice to know that she just put on a front all those times she was rubbing her marriage in your face. Wench. Amanda71986: Hello... Today is finally over thank god.

  Re: 2009 by 2009 Reply Contact I know I'm not melanie but maybe I can help? Your ovulation window is a 10 day time frame, but when you ovulate you're only fertile for 5 days. Meaning anytime in that 10 day time frame you will have about 5 days of fertility, depending on when you ovulate in that 10 day period. Does that make sense? Its pretty confusing...

He pooped while nursing so I had to change him normally... I have a feeling the pooping is going to be a little tricker than the peeing. But in 24 hours yesterday I only used 3 diapers total! That to me is definitely success!
