View Full Version : 1st pregnancy - saying hi!

Special K!

June 22nd 06, 05:55 AM

I used to lurk in this group around 4 years ago and am just now pregnant
with my 1st (due in September!)

I recognize a lot of the names here from that time, which is nice to see
that people stick around for so long. :) I've also noticed the lack of a
few people I really enjoyed reading back then, including Sophie, Jess,
Iphegenia, and Andrea. Does anyone know what happened to these folks?

Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi!"

Congratulations! :-) I hope everything goes well for you. I was here around
that time too, when I was pregnant with my son (stillborn in Nov' 2002)
Iphegenia I remember vaguely, but I'm not sure where she went. Sophie left
shortly after a disagreement, but I'm not sure if it was related. Andrea
just seemed to drop off the face of the earth, but then she has 12 children
to take care of now - if we're talking about the same Andrea - so she
probably doesn't have a lot of time. Jess still posts at
misc.kids.breastfeeding from time to time.

Hey Kim. Sophie has been gone for a while, a few years now. Jess is also
long gone, longer than Sophie. Iphegenia hasn't posted in forever as well.
Were you here when her husband died? I think she's remarried now. Andrea
is still around, if you are talking about the Andrea who has a whole passle
of kids. Last I heard, she had 12. She still posts occasionally.

Welcome back, and congrats!

Yes, I remember you and the birth of your son. I'm glad to see you're still
hanging out here. :) Wow, 12 kids? I think she had 10 the last time I was
around here. I guess that would keep her quite busy.

I searched for Sophie's website and that seems to be gone too? Yes, I
remember when Iphegenia's husband died - my heart really went out to her.
I'm glad to hear she's doing well.

Thanks. :)

Thanks :-) My daughter will be two at the end of the month, and I'm not
planning any more, so I'm not sure why I'm still here! But I do read here
when I get the time, and it's nice to see you back after all these years.

Heh, one keeps me busy! I'm not sure how she does it, so if she no longer
has time to read usenet, I'm hardly surprised ;-)

12?!?!?!?!?! Holy cow. That would be an experience! I'm strapped to the
max with 3, wondering what to do with this #4 in a few months ;) Good thing
about a big family is that you have a whole team complete with rotating
shifts ;) I should try for 12... Then we'd have no choice but to get a van,
as I've been wanting for a few months now lol

Congratulations! I mostly lurk here, but I saw that you are due the same
month that I am. What day? I am due Sept. 8th.
So how are you feeling?

I think with 12 kids you have to get an actual bus... : )

I know a few people had gone over to livejournal, but I'm not sure they're
still there.

Glad to have you posting!! :)

The 21st. I'm doing really good. I've had an easy pregnancy thus far
(knock on wood). My only minor complaint at the moment is the separation of
the pubic bone, which really hurts. What about you? How has your pregnancy
been?

I guess that answers my question. I was going to ask if you were getting
ready to have another one since you have approximately 2 years between your
1st and 2nd.

I know I'm completely bored right now (not working, just hanging out waiting
for baby)... but I also know that will change very drastically once baby is
on the outside - but I'm looking forward to it and have been for many years.

Well, technically speaking, it would be between her 2nd and 3rd, since Angel
Baby Carlos will always be #1. : )

That was what I meant. She had apprximately 2 years between Carlos and her
daughter, who's now about to turn 2. Maybe I just worded that wrong.

I think with 12, I'd want a fleet of nice limos ;) Complete with my own
drivers :D

I had always planned on having two living children, but my relationship with
Ana & Carlos' father broke down and we separated around Christmas/New
Year's. I'm not ruling another one out ever - if I meet the right person -
but it's not something I'm thinking about at the moment. I might do what
Jenrose did, and wait until Ana's babysitting age. ;-)

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing okay. Although we didn't have
children together, my divorce was finalized in January, after a lengthy
separation. I know things get only that much more complicated when children
are involved in the mix.

There are 17 years between my brother and I - I'm sure my parents had a
built-in babysitter for awhile. :)
