Mommies Rock Share Café

Totally jealous of Micah. Look how clear that water is.

Love the picture!

Yes, yes, you lovelies, up since 6 with that dog. I say that with such hatred, but I really love her.

Happy Thursday, everyone!

Glad I'm not the only one up at ungodly hours. It's 4am. I don't see why from an evolutionary standpoint you can't sleep while pregnant... we should have evolved to get the best sleep of our lives during pregnancy since it all goes out the window once baby is here...

Liz- Water here is extremely clear.. he um... is at the pool though... which thankfully was also clear!

Liz - Sorry you up with your doggie.

Lauren - He's such a cutie pie!

Hey, we got ALTCS approval! Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rock on momma!

Lindsay-YaY!

What do you guys think of the Time Magazine's breastfeeding cover?

I was more concerned with the article and where I fall when it comes to attachment parenting.

bbl...

Haven't seen it. I hope it was a good article on boob feeding.

Seriously, how is it on the days when I can actually keep up things are so slow!

Lindsay: Ladies night wasn't so yummy, oh well, gotta try everything, right?

Lauren: HAHAHA!! Poopin on the fish, that kid of yours is hilarious! And oh my goodness such a little cutie!! Totally rocking those shades.

Liz: LOL on the butterflies, best laid plans, right? Live and learn I guess. I really dislike the cover, haven't read the article. I think that that poor kid is going to have this picture of him nursing come back to haunt him when he's 16. Not only that, but it's not going to encourage breastfeeding, nursing a three year old is so out of the norm and it's just going to cause strong reactions on both sides. I wish they had just done a picture of a mom nursing a baby!

Off to go get the oil changed and tires rotated on our car, exciting times I tell you.

Hrmmm... yeah... just saw the cover online. Very unimpressed. If you ever want to see something really 'funny' search what's on the cover of American international magazines (like Time, etc) and then what's on the covers in other countries... it doesn't make us look very sophisticated!

can anyone tell me what a 4 month old should be doing my daughter is going to be 6 months on the 17th but she was born 11 weeks early she is A little advanced but not much

Hello mom2sophia11, I think you should ask your ped of the milestones of 4 months baby, he knows better your case. My 2 kids were preemies and they did things with their corrected age until they turned 1, they did just fine, more or less the same things 1-year-old kids should do.

Lauren: I love the pic, Micah is such a funny little guy.....

Lindsay: Congratulations on your acceptance.....

Liz: Hope you can sleep better, I heard a CNN report about that magazine, now you picked my curiosity, I am heading to look for it.

Donna: Awesome poker tournament! 60 ppl in your house, glad your DH helped you the next day.....

Laura: Trevor is a champ, 8 hours in a car is unbearable even for an adult.....

Tracy: I am so happy for you, to tell the truth I didn't had any doubts about your job, why are you moving now???

Jessica: glad you had an awesome walk day...... wow 19 weeks already..... I know you will have a wonderful pregnancy.....

Stacy: that is awesome, president of mother's club..... 2nd girls' night in a week? that is wonderful, ages since I went out with friends.......

First week of work, I am so interested in it, besides I love the office and my work schedule, I can have my own time, the only but is I don't feel so "comfortable" with the cases, even though they are in family courts, some cases had to be taken to minorship with crimal law, and I don't like it. And those are the easy ones, criminal law here is a nightmare, so I am in a dilemma, I like the family cases, but not the minorship with criminal law.... My DH told me if I don't feel comfortable to speak up now that I am starting....
Mother's day was yesterday.... It was so cool, S and V did a marvelous celebration at school, and I had tears in my eyes... so emotional........
Happy Mother's Day everyone here
hugs
Lorena

Jessica: Forgot to said Maddie is so sweet, I would frame that book of hers.....

Jackie: Hahaha..... that book is hilarious...... sound just like thing S would do.... when I am home, either S or V has my Iphone, it is not my phone anymore.....

Lauren : I have to google that car.......

Lorena

Lorena - I had heard that it was Mother's Day yesterday for some countries when I was at the grocery store. Hugs momma! Oh, that would be a toughy. Any way for you to just look/deal with the family cases w/out criminal or not really? Hope you can work it out.

Lots of calls today. It has been awhile since I've heard my phone ring that much: District rep, PE teacher, DDD coordinator, and speech lady! I'm lovin' it!

For Mother's Day, I had the kids' silhouettes done. I'm going to Michael's tomorrow to pick out some frames. I just wish the artist could've signed in the corner or something. Her name is right smack in the middle. Oh well . . . les artistes:)

thank you My name is laura I should have introduced myself lol he said she is advanced in some things but she will catch up by 18 month

Laura- Welcome to the Cafe! I'd say that's good news. Each kiddos develops so uniquely... I'd look for general patterns of growth in all areas of development.

Lorena- I missed out on hearing about your new job... congrats momma! That does sound like quite a lot on your shoulders... Happy Mommy's Day to ya!

Lindsay- Glad things are moving along with services. And doh! What a silly artist (said sounding French)... autograph in the middle. What a super cool idea, that's going to be treasured for a very very long time!

Going to do like Micah and take a mid day napparooni.

Hey girlies...catching up..

Lauren first gotta say I'm totally jelly of that little cutie of yours swimming in that beautiful water...little fish. PS...and of his hair color.
Your dr is annoying me now...sick of all these negative Annies...whats up with them. Told you my dr wouldnt talk about my section the other day...told me to just worry about making it to next week of course in my shocked reaction he said he just meant he was being cautious because of my history.... made me mad!!! lol They need to stop wondering why are pressure is rising with all the stupid stuff they are saying and tell us all will be fine.

Liz..I totally feel for you. My basement flooded once..and there is no smell like that. I hate wet basement smell...can smell it from a mile away. ps my clothes were in the same spot when it happened ...good luck sweetie...stinks

thanks Lorena on your vote of confidence....hoping your right...I'm thinking positive a bit more lately. oxox
I need to take a few pics of the book to show you all...its a tear jerker. Then I'm totally putting it in her memory box. Absolutley was the cutest thing ever. She has such a sweet heart.

Stacy..I'm with you on the cover and it coming back to bite this kid...pretty safe to say the Presidency is out for him lol
Dont like the title either...*Are you women enough* its like suggesting if your not nursing a 12 year old your not. Personally I think breastfeeding is beautiul...just not when they can ask for it..or reach it lol

Laura: Hi! Welcome to the cafe! That's great that her pediatrician says she's advanced in some areas!

Lorena: Glad you're liking your your job so far, sounds exciting! Happy belated mothers day!

Lindsay: Aww, that's super cute! You should post a picture of them, and ugh on signing right in the middle!

Went to Panera for lunch with my mom. Mmmmm, love me some Panera. Charles is just walking in the door with some ice cream too, yay!

yes this is my third post in a row.. but gotta ask you all something.

My heart is breaking for a friend of mine right now....I'm going google crazy for her. She had a mc her first pregnancy..second pregnancy had a preemie due to the cord falling out. He is perfect now. She has desperately trying to conceive again only to have 4 mc in a row. She found out she has the blood clotting disorder MTHFR (same as me) but is already on the aspirin and will start Lovenox once pregnant.
Has anyone have any advice...shes had a million test done and they cant find anything wrong.. wondering if her dr missed something that only you girls could think of.

Feel terrible...shes such an amazing mom and friend. Want nothing but the best for her.

happy to be here thank you

Hugs Jessica! That's heartbreaking! Is she taking extra folic acid? Just looked it up right now and it said taking extra can reduce the miscarriage rate and if I remember right some friends that have that take a ton extra of folic acid especially when pregnant because something about they can't metabolize it enough, I forget. Have they tested her progesterone levels too? I know a lot of times with recurrent miscarriages they'll put you on progesterone supplements as soon as you ovulate. I think Samantha used an over the counter cream even so she didn't have to go to the doctor.

Jessica - I have MTHFR too (heterozygeous). I am wondering if they should test her for Leiden V or Factor V Leiden? Maybe even Lupus? I agree on the Folic Acid and also extra calcium supplements (thrombophilic stuff). I'd do Lovenox over a Heprin pump. Keeping you and your friend in my thoughts.

Jessica- I know right? She's the head of the OB/GYN Dept at our biggest hospital in the state... so it would be even cooler to prove her wrong... and I think I will. She doesn't know me, and I trust my old MFM way more who would neeeeeever give me those stats.

I second what everyone else has said as far as testing. Hubby might also think about testing... a friend of ours who did IVF found that there was some incompatibility between dad's goods and moms... don't know more than that about it... they had be on antibiotics and stuff while going through treatments...

Stacy- Bummer on the no good food!

We're heading off to a super fun annual craft fair today that has a petty zoo... last year it was a huge hit with Micah.

Wow, you ladies have been busy on here!

Just got off the boat, will attempt to catch up later!

thanks girls for all your advice....most of it I know she has done...extra folic acid, the Leiden V and the Factor V Leiden...not sure about the lupus but think when they test for the other 3 they add that in not sure. Dont now about the calcium but...gotta ask her.
I know her hubbie was tested already cause she was thinking maybe she was attacking his spermies...but no...all was good there. Her mucus was good as well. Shes even doing the Robitussin to thin it just in case (to get preggo)
Feel terrible. Shes just playing the waiting game now. If you girls can think up more stuff let me know...thanks for everything so far. xoxo

To all my incredible friends...the greatest group of mommies around.....I wish you all a mothers day as beautiful as you all are. xoxo We are moms like no others. Whether we hold our babies in our arms or in our hearts....we all all amazing moms.

Happy Mothers day to all the mommy's

ladies are chatty the last few days!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

I love and miss you guys!

Sheeesh.....tons of posts to catch up on, but only remember a few.

Liz~ Her name (the friend at SU) is Subin. She does work at the national office. I'm sure she'd love to hear from you.

Lauren~ Seriously?? 5%??? That crazy person has NO idea who you are and the determination that you have in your pinky finger to get this little one to full term! She'd better stand back!!

Jess~ Same goes for your negative little dr.!!!

Our weather is rainy and cool today......not always good for those mommies who celebrate Mother's Day in their hearts. Hugs to all of you....especially those who send love Heavenward to your kids.

Happy mothers day to all of you! I hope you have a happy and peaceful day today!
