threebyfate Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 B2 snores loud enough that we have to turn down the baby monitor! 1
Krytie TV Posted October 22, 2012 Posted October 22, 2012 My girls have started leaving their bed and falling asleep with their faces pressed against the bottom of the door. We can sometimes hear them snoring like they're in the same room with us. Every night before we go to bed it's the same routine. I get on the floor and check for any fingers or noses under the door before I slowly and firmly push it open enough for my wife to squeeze through and we put them back in the bed. They're so amazing 1

GorillaTheater Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 Okay...I count four on this paragraph...plus the rest. Dare I ask how many is "the rest?" Everything in Texas is bigger. Eight all together. If there's any doubt that I'm nuts, that should resolve the issue. 2
Author Eve Posted October 23, 2012 Author Posted October 23, 2012 Eight all together. If there's any doubt that I'm nuts, that should resolve the issue. I love big families! Still, 8 is pretty nuts! Did you keep going to get a boy or something? I always wanted 5 but it looks like I am sticking to 4 - 2 of my own and 2 step children. My youngest has recently turned 18 which means officially my babies are grown up now. Personally I think the bit when they are small and cute is the best. I wish I could go back to those days. Where did time go? I loved it so much.. Still it's time for me to get over myself and do other things now. Chin up! Take care, Eve x
Hawaii50 Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I know this is a bit early when compared to everyone else's awesome news... My sister in law works at a clinic, and my Brother and I visited one day while it was slow. I ended up jizzing in a cup and getting my count! Nice to say I'm supposedly at the high end of spectrum at about 35-40 million. So, the twinkles in my eyes are doing great! 3
GorillaTheater Posted October 23, 2012 Posted October 23, 2012 I love big families! Still, 8 is pretty nuts! Did you keep going to get a boy or something? LOL, no. Our first was a girl, our second was a boy. Sensible place to stop, right? I guess what it boils down to is that my wife and I both love having kids. They can be frustrating as all get-out, they can break your heart, they can cause sleepless nights wondering what knucklehead things they're going to do next. But at the same time parenthood is the most rewarding, enjoyable, and exciting thing I've ever done in my life. 1

Author Eve Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 Well, my youngest daughter has ended her relationship with her boyfriend and is absolutely glowing again. For the longest time she has been trying to grow up too fast. I think having finally had a significant relationship, she now realises that it is not all it is cracked up to be! I have been off some use to her, thankfully. I don't get upset easily so can be cold about these sorts of things but I was able to help her to re-centre on what is important. He was a nice lad (.. exceedingly hott too, like a 10/10). I will always speak to him if I see him in Town. His family are lovely people too.. .. This is all yet another accurate prediction by the psychic I see. Funny but I don't feel frightened for my yougest anymore. I feel like I am ready to pray over her to let her go now... fully. I felt called to do this with my eldest when she was 15 years old. At that stage I blessed her and told her that she must find her own path... and I would always be there for her but things would be different from then on. I can safely do this now with the youngest one. My urges to have further children seem to have completely ceased now too. H'mmm.. I think part of my life cycle has been completed. I no longer feel conflicted about my job either.. about whether to leave. I am going to stay. What I started as a means to provide for my girls seems to have turned out to be far more than just a job. Life is good. Take care, Eve x 1
Nyla Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 I wish you were my mom, Eve. Your kids are so lucky! 1
Author Eve Posted October 31, 2012 Author Posted October 31, 2012 I wish you were my mom, Eve. Your kids are so lucky! Gosh, what a lovely thing to say! Thank you. I am just a messed up girl who made it by the Grace of God. My girls are my treasure.. Take care, Eve x
Nyla Posted October 31, 2012 Posted October 31, 2012 No matter what your issues are, you come across as a very intelligent, caring and non intrusive mother. Of course, all I know about you is what you post here. I wish I was raised by a woman like that-I would have been so much healthier emotionally and mentally. Mothers need to make sure they handle their baggage before they have kids or else they will saddle innocent children with severe emotional difficulties. 1

Mothers need to make sure they handle their baggage before they have kids or else they will saddle innocent children with severe emotional difficulties. I can relate to this. My mother was emotionally absent due to her own problems. I never knew her. So, THANK YOU for your kind words as I have strived so very hard to truly hear my children - with the ultimate aim being to help them tho have their own minds above all else. This has been a challenge because I was so young myself when I had them... but it worked out. Take care, Eve x
CarboniteCammy Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Nice to hear everyone's children seem to be doing well!! I have a long time to go before mine will be writing any plays, going to college, or even going to preschool! My little man was four months old yesterday and we have a well baby visit scheduled for Friday, although since I am sick, that may change. :-P He's a great baby and growing very well; he's somewhere around 20 lbs now and who knows how many inches long, probably close to 29 or so. His eyes were sort of blue/brown, but now they're changing to a hazel. His hair maybe turning red, like his dad's! He rolled over last month and this month I think he's teething. His coordination is improving and he's able to grab stuff and hang on with a vengeance (like daddy's beard, which is kind of funny). He's a very happy and quiet baby. I love his gummy grins and his sweet coos and gurgles. <3 <3 <3 2
JamesM Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Outside of my one child who has made life more stressful for me (but I must say I love him dearly and hurt with him...even when he doesn't realize that he is hurting ), I am proud to speak of the others...again. My youngest is so incredibly polite to adults. His consistent use of please and thank you, his use of names (Hello, Aunt...., Thank you, Mr. ....) makes me burst with happiness that he "gets it." My oldest is so diligent in doing schoolwork. This one handles life's problems with maturity, often beyond the young (IMO) sixteen years. This one will grow up to be a fine capable adult. And my so smart other child can pass every homework assignment and test (despite no studying) with great grades. This one is also polite and friendly to others, while showing kindness and compassion. I just know that a little studying could make those grades be so incredible..if I could just get it across. Oh, and that "stressful" one? Yeah, there are so many good qualities in him, too. It is just that sometimes the problems he has and causes cover up the creativity, happy smiles, and ability to make us all laugh. This one is so lovable while still sometimes being obnoxious. I just know that when he "gets it," he will make me prouder than all of the others combined (though I will never say that! ) Honestly, I never thought I could love them all as much as I do. Just a few years ago, I could say"Yes, I love my children" but truthfully, I couldn't have written a post stating the so many reasons I love thme beyond that they are my children. Now I see how they are developing into young adults. How the heck has this happened? Must be their mother! 2
Nyla Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 Is it okay for me to talk about my nieces? I know they aren't my children, but I do love those girls to death. I love how I can spoil them because I am not the mother. The last time I saw my three year old niece, I scooped her up in my arms and said "Hi Snookums!" She said "Yer funny, auntie. What is a snookums?" My nine year old niece was playing with me and my husband told me he wanted to go home. She looked at my husband and exclaimed "You can't force her to leave!" We also have a two year old niece with beautiful red hair and porcelain skin. The child has a very spunky and jovial personality. She lives many miles away, so we do not get to see her very often. Her parents let us babysit her for one night. In the morning, my niece said "Auntie, I wanna go outside. Open da door pwease." After FIVE MINUTES, she said "Whoo! It's too hot. I wanna go back inside now!" Silly baby. 1
Author Eve Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 Your nieces sound ADORABLE! My sister is having her first child soon and I can't wait! She is expecting a girl which is what she wanted deep down. ... Can't wait to be the glamourous Aunt. I am going to make sure this child sees the world in full. Take care, Eve x 1

I think we have to have one of those to keep us on our toes! Well mannered children are a joy. I am so happy for you! Take care, Eve x 1
mitzikilgore Posted November 1, 2012 Posted November 1, 2012 I have 2 toddlers, so right now the most positive thing was Halloween yesterday! What fun to help them dress up and go trick-or-treating! It brought back so many memories for me, and reminded me of the magic of childhood, which really does go by fast! 1
Author Eve Posted November 1, 2012 Author Posted November 1, 2012 To the mums and dads and family members with little ones. Enjoy them. Please keep sharing your stories. They make me really happy, soppy git that I am, lol. Thanks for sharing. Take care, Eve x P.s. This also serves to test my level of broodiness, which seems to now be zero. W'hoo! looks like I get to just enjoy other peoples kids now!
Author Eve Posted November 2, 2012 Author Posted November 2, 2012 Youngest child starts her driving lessons tomorrow at 9am! .. Consider yourselves warned, those in the North! Take care, Eve x 1
