JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Okay, so, I've been on the phone off and on all morning and this is what I have. I cannot have an OBGYN, but I can be a patient of the clinic. I have an appointment for the 3rd to have all my stuff checked, an ultrasound on the 25th, and something in December. My ultrasound is so late in the game we might have a gender. They want me to go to the clinic today or tomorrow to pee in a cup so they have a positive pregnancy test so that if something goes wrong they can admit me. Well, that sounds like positive progress. :001_smile: And YAY on the ultrasound. Knowing the baby's (babies?) sex will help with gift planning! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Why did I tell you all of that first instead of my husband? I hope this is not a reflection on my marriage. Nope. Just a reflection on our awesomeness! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Well, it might also be an aftereffect of the mind-numbing experience of being on the telephone all morning. But I liked my first response better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Well, that sounds like positive progress. :001_smile: And YAY on the ultrasound. Knowing the baby's (babies?) sex will help with gift planning! Shut up with the ies crap. If we have twins we'll have to buy a new car. As soon as I told our children's godmother I was pregnant she said we should pray so we did and she prayed that we have twin girls. Who does that? I did not give permission for that! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jean in Newcastle Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Are you sick? Was that directed to me? No, and I'm trying to keep it that way. I've been infection and antibiotic free for 3 months now. This is after spending 7 months straight on antibiotics this past year. It was 6 months straight the year before. I have 3 doctors actively trying to help me not go there again this year. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was, and I was wondering the same thing, hoping it not to be true for the reasons above. Somehow I didn't think you'd want to unleash the ninja elephants (plus one bazooka-totin' pachyderm) on your very own DC. Well, at least for them being sick. For teenagers there might be other possible justifications. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Token school related post of the day: Writing! :svengo: :nopity: :ohmy: :( Actually, we have no writing problems today, I'm just musing on where to go next. I've been doing the cheap-o, but straightforward Writing Skills workbook from EPS. She wrote a truly pathetic paragraph yesterday about why she likes minecraft. (Garbage in, Garbage out, eh?) We could spend more time with Writing Skills and look at different types of paragraphs and write some more paragraphs of the different types (process, definition, comparison, persuasive, etc.) Or, I'm tempted to put a bunch of reasonable topics in a jar and make her draw one out everyday. I'm okay with working on "automatic" writing over great writing right now, but I'd prefer she not produce terrible writing, lol. She has had IEW in the past, but I don't want to go back to that - I think it's time to move on and stop writing from models for everything. More a vent, than a question. But it was school related. :001_cool: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were fighting yesterday and he asked what he could write so I said write whatever you want and he wrote I like dogs but not spiters. Then when I pointed out his mistake he argued about it.

There is a fertility board I frequent, and the women there are always announcing to us prior to significant others. Mostly, it's because they're asking if we can see the line on their tests at 8-14 days past ovulation. Since we see it first, well... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 I used to babysit this little girl with terrible parents. They told me how I didn't need to bathe John everyday, how it really only needed to be done once or twice a week because of his age. He was two at the time. Their daughter was two as well and she had urinary tract infections and diaper rash all. the. time. It was so sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
