I'm praying for your family, Sarah. Crystal, how are you doing? I'm thinking of you guys.
NicCan, sweetie, that sounds soooooooooooooooo hard. I will be praying for you and Lorne - I hope you can find someone amazing who can mentor and counsel you guys at this difficult time.
How did the bloodwork go, Yo? I am so going to find that Idol clip on Youtube later so I know what you're talking about 
Ruth, how's your hubby doing?
NicAus, still praying. How are things going for you guys?
Ladies, I am so tired. You know when you just have one of those weeks? I'm just holding out for Saturday lunchtime, when I can chill for a wee bit!

Claire, my husband is doing okay. They found blood in his urine, but nothing else wrong, except he needs to loose weight/get healthier. He has one more specialist to see today. I also have an ultrasound in the morning, and a dentist visit in the afternoon. Lots of doctors today, so thank the Lord my mom is here! Thanks for asking.
Prayers for Sarah and Crystal.
Stina, I see what you mean about the difference between health care and food stamps. I lean towards universal health care myself, if we could hopefully look at all the programs that have gone before us in different countries, to see what worked well and didn't work well. I hope you find the right job for you and your family.

Good Morning all.
OK I am so excited today. I get to have a play date that includes no kids.
The kids are staying home with dad today while I go out with a new friend for a couple of hours.
On the issue of someone suggesting that we should work instead of stay at home. Sorry forgot who asked.
You have to do what is right for your family. I know that the few times I have worked was some of the worst times in our marriage, it was terrible we fought constantly and I believe that at least for our family my hubby was feeling like he wasn't doing his job. He really believes in the mom stays home.
His happiness and getting to be the man (even tho he is even if I do work) is so much better for us then having all the latest things.

Ruth - Hope things settle down for you guys soon. Oh yeah, are you finding out the gender of the baby? I was not sure  I will feel like a goober if you already have said what the gender is.
Crystal - Stay safe!
Sarah - Praying for your family!
So, a few of us from church have decided to train for a 5K in January. They all ran it last January, but we were out of town so I did not get too...well I didn't even train because I already knew I wouldn't be able too. My goal is to get up in the mornings around 6:45 and run before hubby leaves for work. Since I am not use to running right now I am going to run 1 minute, walk 2 and then slowly increase my running time and decrease my walking time. I really want to get in shape and loose some weight too, so this is just incentive. I would feel so accomplished if I ran a 5K, the whole thing. So, I think I am going to start tomorrow...let you know how I do afterward.
Today we are probably going to hang out around the house, play outside, and clean. We also have to meet hubby for lunch and then come home for naptime! Other than that not much going on...

Chelle, do you have a training plan already? The Couch 2 5K program is excellent, I've done it from start to finish before.

 Today is mine and hubby's 9th anniversary.
Chelle, that's awesome! My mom is training for a 5K, too, and she's never run in her life. I'm excited for her, and I'll be cheering you on, too!
Today I'm doing laundry all day, and sewing a blanket for my best friend's 2 yr. old daughter. My best friend is expecting a baby, so I made her a blanket and matching burp cloths, and I got her 2 yr. old a baby doll and I'm making her a blanket for the doll to match the one I'm giving her baby sister.
I can't wait until tomorrow! We're headed to Tulsa so my parents can watch the kiddos while hubby and I go out, then Saturday-Sunday-Monday we'll be in OKC with our best friends. We haven't seen them since New Years. Monday we're going to the State Fair, which is one of our all-time favorite annual traditions! But we'll be getting the remnants of the hurricane all weekend, lots of rain and wind.

I've never had anyone hint that I should be working to support the family, but I definitely get asked in round about ways how we get by on one income. Especially with Dh supply teaching and not being guaranteed work every day. I'm always asked when I am going back to work, I just laugh and say "oh I don't work" and leave it at that.
Ryanne - we had to leave our computer because we bought the floor model. They have to restore it to factory settings, plus we got some programs that they are going to load on for us. We probably could have had it done yesterday, but it was a half hour before closing so they asked us to come back. The wait is so hard though, I have never been so excited about a computer before!
Happy Anniversary Rachel!!!

someone just last week put a crock pot recipe for that in the baby chat thread...if you want to use the crock pot to cook it in.
I really need to track that down.
Happy Anniversary, Rachael!
And.... I'm having a girl. To be honest, I feel some mixed feelings. I thought a little brother for Nathan would be great. We have all girl cousins, mostly girl playmates (at the moment); I thought another boy would be nice. And I've had it in my head for the longest time that this baby was a boy, too. I think I just need a bit of time to readjust my thinking. From empirical evidence, I know more high needs girls then boys (except in cases where the boys where special needs), so I guess I was feeling trepidation at the thought of a girl.
I hope all of this doesn't sound to awful. It's just that I love my little boy so much; I'm a bit of a tomboy, and I know boy stuff, boy things.
But girls can be special, too. It just ... feels weird somehow. Everyone expected me to be ecstatic at a girl, because my first was a boy (so, I couldn't possibly want a second boy, right  ), but I just don't know what to feel honestly.
I know I'll love my children, no matter what. It's just odd to hear the words "she" and "daughter".

It's ok Ruth, I felt rather disappointed when Gabby wasn't a boy. Give yourself a couple days, then you can be excited! Maybe buying some cute girl things would help?

Believe me when I say that was me. My parents had two girls, and I know my dad wanted a boy because he tried to turn me into one. He had me playing all the sports, watching sports, going to sports. He taught me to fight, all that stuff. It was a struggle because my mom loved having a girl and tried to do all the girly stuff for me. I say "I was always out playing baseball with the boys, running the bases in a frilly pink dress."
I wasn't sure when we found out we were having a girl if I would know how to raise a girl, because of the reasons you said above. But once you have that little girl in your arms you know what to do. I thought I'd be raising Akeelah to be a tomboy and now I'm doing the complete opposite and loving it!

Thanks, ladies! 
And Happy Birthday, Ryanne!
Ruth, I know I would've been disappointed had I found out Isaac was a girl. I remember that distinctly. Then my second was a girl, but I kind of felt like she was a girl before my u/s. She is truly an incredible little person. She is all girl (loves dresses and baby dolls) BUT she also can hold her own own against her brother and all the other little boys she plays with (we have no little girls at church or no girl cousins!). There's nothing dainty about her, even when she's in a dress. It's hilarious watching her take the boys down and run with them. She loves digging for worms and catching minnows. She plays in the dirt. She loves her knee-high, black rubber farm boots. She wears them with her ballerina tutu while chasing goats. She's totally the best of both worlds (girly and tomboy).
Oh, and I was set on buying purple, too instead of pink.  Isabel has a good mix of everything. Pink, purple, green, blue and red. She looks cute any way we dress her!
And she is totally laid back, not high maintenance at all, for a girl, lol. But I'm not, either, so I guess that's why. Your little girl will probably take after you, and be a very well-rounded young lady!
eta: LOL, as we speak, Isabel is outside playing tractors with her brother in her pink shorts and knee-high rubber boots, with her hair standing in every direction.
