How are the kiddos today?  They keep saying it's going to get cold, but it sure feels like spring to me!  We've got all the windows/doors open and I'm airing out Kate's sandbox.  I wish it could stay like this forever...: )

Going to Michigan to see my sister and hopefully my sis from Chicago will drive up that weekend too.  We've not all three been together since my wedding, and that was just a chaos week anyway. 

Also have a couple of very dear friends and my aunties and Grandparents I can pop in on.  I am hoping to SURPRISE my sister.  Which means arranging for someone (half the people I know are out of town that Thursday!)  to come to the airport to get me. 

It'll be SO fun.  I've never popped in on her like that since I moved out here, but she's always wished I would. [ :D]

I didn't realize you'd be TTC!!!!  How exciting!

Mom to Tyler (10) and William (in Jesus' arms at 27 weeks.  01/18/04 - Severe placental abruption at 15 weeks followed by severe PE and HELLP at 27 weeks.  Delivery by emergency c-section)

Yep, I flew a lot while preggers.  No issues, other than that I had to pee a lot... request an aisle seat... : ) We're planning a vacation in January, where I'll probably be about 6 months, but the peri didn't really reccomend any travel after about 28 weeks. 

RE: IUD... we're going to start TTC in July (I want an April baby) and that puts kidlets at 2 1/2 years apart... so, rather than make another appointment to have to go through all of that speculum nonsense, I just did it during my regular annual exam.  Thought it would take longer to get the body back in gear- they say it takes up to a year to be "normal".  Me?  2 days. 

You know what?  I HATED getting the IUD put in- it was a nightmare- but...that said?  I would definitley do it again.  In fact, I plan on doing it again after next baby.  I didn't have ANY side effects and I didn't have my period- so a birth control you don't have to worry, think about, or have to buy tampons?  In SO there. 

RE: Cutting loose... lol!  Trust me, I'm going to at least do it once before getting preggers!  LOL! 

Michigan- sounds like a good time!  Are you going to visit family/friends?  Is Tyler going too? 

Beck- I just sent you a little joke about "mood swings".  That's how *I* Feel today. 

Weekend was good, other than stupid ($&(*& %(*$&^T $ Vovlo breaking down, Mara resuced me & spent the day playing on the trampoline and eating yummy tea and muffins, so really the day wasn't lost... Saturday I went out to the Grizzley Rose for a friend's birthday, I was the DD so not a WHOLE lot of fun, but I enjoyed people watching and a rare night "out".  Sunday was church and our band is actually sounding presentable, so that was good... : ) Had some MAJOR fights with my so called "DH" (The D did NOT stand for dear this weekend...) but it can all be explained... my period started on/around Friday evening (I had the IUD removed Thursday). 

So... having fun being a "woman" again (NOT), and truth be told my BBs (why are they called that?)  feel like water balloons...

SO.. I can empathize with the pregnancy pains, my dear. : )  However, YOU will have a wonderful, beautiful baby to hold after this... I have strong, good feelings about this! : )
