What's everyone up to?

I feel out of the loop, i don't even know anyone on here haha.

I feel the same as Chloe Tasha. I was thinking about that earlier. I'm happy that he is getting better and gaining his strength back

As for my weekend plans...Well today I went shopping with my mom and kids and out to lunch. Tomorrow (sunday) if it doesn't rain, we're going to the pool. My shoulders and neck are getting darker btu the rest of me is still extremely white. And this is coming from a girl who has cherokee indian in her and used to always be tan : / Sad thing is I'm still darker than all of my friends even though I'm whiter than I've ever been lol Monday I'd like to go shopping without the kids but it all depends on the weather and what everyone wants to do. Tonight though, I might order a movie or read some. Maybe movie then read.

I hope everyone has a great weekend

Well then Hi! I'm Ari let's be best friends

lol, thanks for not thinking I'm a bitch guys I feel bad bringing it up, because like Tasha I've come to know you guys a lot more over the months, but I just feel that some things are better left unsaid.

yippityskippity: Hi, welcome to our thread of craziness.


My weekend, so far, has consisted of essay writing. So not much fun here

Haha thanks guys. I'm Jessica.

And my weekend has been boring but I might be going to the drive ins tomorrow

I'm sorry Kim, I didn't realize I was doing that. I'm sorry. Damn it I'm crying again. Is this normal?

I love all of you guys. Thank you for the support and love, it means more to me than you know. Jeff says not to worry that he already has a job at his dad's work or something like that and will be here before and after the baby is born. I can't tell you how much I appreciate all your support. But, well its really hard and I need help, I want to give the baby up but I don't think I could and then I want an abortion (I was always agaisnt it) but I really don't know. I'm so scared and I can't stop shaking. I can't do this.

You can do this Ash. You have to follow your instincts. If you feel like you should give the baby up, that is something you should talk to Jeff about. I'm not really for abortions myself, but it is not my decision to make. You have to do what you think is best for you and the baby. I'm sure your parents and Jeff will support you no matter what you choice is. Any even though I don't no what it's like to be pregnant, you could always pm me and I will listen to anthing and everything you say. You are not alone. Things like this happen. My high school best friend got pregnant our senior year and she decided to keep the baby. Like you she had her parents support. I just wish the father was someone like Jeff. The father I beleive takes no part in his daughter's life, which is sad. But know there are people to talk to and there are books that you can ead to help you if you decide to keep the baby.


Jessica ~ Welcome to the site. My name is Amy. I hope you have fun.

Yes Ash, crying is very normal during pregnancy and its the worse in the first trimester. your emotions are raw and uncontrollable right now. It's completely normal. And Ash, you CAN do this. If there is one thing that I have learned about you in the past few months, is that you are a strong person. You have love and support and we are all here for you.

Today was kind of boring. We were only at the pool for 45 mins when it started raining. So we came home and I ended up cleaning. Then i tried my hand at baking. I'm a good cook but baking so doesn't come naturally to me. I made a peach cobbler for the first time and it came out perfect! I was so proud of myself. Pretty sad that that was the highlight of my day lol.

I love Penguin Australia. Completely unrelated to VA, but they do these book giveaways on Twitter sometimes and usually you guess the answers but nothing comes of it. But I actually won something today! I'm really happy, it makes the day a lot more enjoyable, especially since I woke up sick.

Better do some studying now though, I have a test on tomorrow...the last thing left to do for this session before holidays. I couldn't have held off being sick until that was done, could I?

Honour and the Sword by A. L. Berridge ... I don't really know what it's about, but I guess I'll find out once its sent to me I like winning books, it's fun

ugh, I hate long days like that...especially so close to the end of session, it seems pointless having long days at uni.

Ash, don't be foolish..ofcourse you can do this! You should believe in yourself more, because everyone else certainly does! Like Wilda said, you are very strong, and don't depend on others all the time! Don't be afraid, Doushenka. You can do whatever you wish with the child, as it is yours! Like you said, you have support and love from others, and they will stand by you, and hold you up whatever your decision!

Wilda, I let out a laugh when reading what you wrote! I don't hate being pale, but i lose my tan as soon as it appears
In the summer I tan well, and my friends are envious, but it fades almost imediately when winter comes. Most of my friends keep their tan through to February, but mine fades by October
And wow, you have chereokee indian in your blood! Cooool!
And I'm sorry that your day got spoilt! The rain is very unpredictable, almost like a little brother.

Oh Kim, Congratulations! About winning the present not that you're ill! I'm sorry you are sick..get well soon!
I've never won a book before
Congrats!

And Jessica..Hey! Im Chlo, nice to meet you.
Yeah, just jump into the conversations!
I'll start one with you now
How has your week been? And what are you planning on doing next week?

It never seems to work that way huh? Getting sick seems to come at the worst possible times. I hope you feel better soon Kim and congrats on winning a book

Today is a pretty sunny day but I just know the moment I go to the pool it'll rain. Thats just how my luck goes. I layed out back reading while the kids played in the sprinkler but it's too damn hot to just lay out. I was covered in sweat by the time I came in. I guess we're just going to lay around and be lazy for the rest of the day. If it wasn't Memorial day I'd love to go to the Beach but I know it's going to be even more crowded and me and crowds don't mix well.

Well what an eventful weekend I had.

I love all you guys and I can't say it enough.

Well I found out I was pregnant on Friday. Went to the pool Saturday and Sunday, laying in the sun and finally got tan! Jeff came with me and got burned, poor baby, then he feel asleep and got burned even more! I spent all of yesterday helping him, until we went to the clinic for something I really didn't want to do. I went with Jeff to get an abortion, we had agreed on it, but I couldnt go through with it. I said to myself, "I have all of these people who love and support me and my fiancee who wants me to have and keep the baby and then Wilda has been helping me with everything and well I can't do this." I got off the table and walked out, crying to Jeff and we sat in his car until I fell asleep.

I decided I couldn't get rid of him/her. I guess you guys had a bigger effect on me than I thought. I've been thinking and talking to Jeff and we decided we are keeping the baby. I just can't live with the guilt and possibility of losing him/her to another person, knowing she has two parents who love and cherish him/her even before she got here.

I really appreciate that you guys think I am strong and can do anything, but all I can say is that I'm only human right? I just can't believe I have a little, tiny, itty bitty baby sitting in my belly. I keep getting a grin on my face when ever I think about him/her. Jeff thinks it's a girl, he says it's Daddy's Intuition.

Happy Memorial Day!

I have this huge grin on my face right now lol I'm so happy for you Ash. I'm relieved you didn't go through with the abortion. You've already made the biggest decision you could make. Everything else will fall into place. It's not going to be easy and your going to struggle but you will pull through it. By the end you'll be an even stronger person for it So congratulations Ash and Jeff! Sending Best Wishes and lots of love and hugs!!!

Congrats Ash. I knew you would make a good choice. I know that baby is in good hands and with what you wrote-I'm going to guess that you might be hoping for a girl as well. They say if the mother-to-be says he a lot, the baby will be a boy and the same thing goes for girls. My best friend said he a lot wile she was pregnant and she did have a boy. So you never know.

For my weekend:

Friday ~ I got paid so I went shopping for shorts. All my old ones are too big. I've lost about 45 pounds. I found out later that one of my new pairs is still too big. So I have to take it back.

Saurday ~ I did my grandma's grocery shopping, read the rest of The Reckoning (AMAZING!) and went out to dinner with the parentals.

Sunday ~ I started to read Spells and we had a picnic at my grandma's for Memorial Day and my brother's 30th b-day.

Monday ~ Continued to read Spells and went to the cemetary with my grandma. I had to put the urns out for my grandpa and great-aunt and great-uncle, I miss them so much. I almost cried.

Tomorrow ~ I meet with my advisor so I can start my grad work in the fall. I'm excited but nervous. I have to take 2 courses in the fall before I am fully excepted into the major and I have to make sure I get a 3.0 or higher for each course. I don't think I'l be on to much once I start.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Thank you babies, you don't know how much I love you guys.
Amy it's like you read my mind. I say him a lot and Jeffery says her, I'd love to know what he or she will be. I'm not scared anymore, I'm estatic!

Amy I know how you feel. I can't wear anything for summer. I lost so much weight this year and everything I had for summer is way TOO big.

I can't help but smile when I want to put something on that I just bought, went shoppign for shorts as well and got a size too small and tried to put them on, walked out for Jeffery to see and they popped open! Wanna know why? I have a little baby bump! My waist was a one and now it's a three, she is not even over a month old and I'm getting a bump! It's so cool! Jeff likes to draw smiley face on it with an Expo marker.

Ugh... I have school tomorrow. I don't want to go, too bad they don't take, "I'm pregnant, so can I go home because I'm sick." as an excuse. I bet when I puke on my french teacher, which I hope I get to do!, they will let me go. Can I go to the school nurse tell what my situation is?

That is cute that Jeff draws smiley's on your stomach. And I believe you can and should go to the school nurse. It's a great idea. And don't worry about clothing. There are a lot of cute clothes out there for you, just don't do what my high school friend did. She wore he father's shirts. She was swimming in them and she looked dirty because they were stained with oil and stuff.

Sorry, I haven't been able to get on daily. I like talking to you guys but sometimes life gets crazy! I had a fairly fun weekend. My parents anniversary was on Saturday and they went into another room to flirt and stuff so I started playing random music such as "Bad Romance" and anything else that I found humorous. I have to get off now though because it's storming.

Ash i send you a huge hug! You can always PM if you need/want to talk. I know i go MIA sometimes but i log on everyday and peek around.

Amy, 45 pounds?! Dang what did you do? I'm the complete opposite. No matter what i try or do i don't loose weight. I don't mind it's just none of my summer clothes fit. and I'm not working so I don't have money to go shopping. :pouts:

My weekend? . Friday ( part of my weekend since i have no classes Friday) i spent it with my daddy. Saturday my bf had a boy's night- one of his friend's bday. I spent the entire day vegging out in front of the tv. Sunday, a ton of homework. All the written stuff. I also managed to break this project ( a web portfolio thingy that we've been working on all semester). My teacher is so going to kill me. I messed up the zip files somehow- I don't know, i'm not that tech savvy. Hopefully he can fix it. Today, the heat was killing me. And it wasn't even that hot. It's just my house, my room, is like a steam box. So i got caught up on some episodes of House and then finally late afternoon when it cooled down i managed to get some studying done. I have a bio test, which I'm failing, but i studied hard but I'll still fail the test. But I'm not that type of person to not try, so i studied anyway. Who knows maybe i'll pass.

Tomorrow my daddy is having a small procedure done, and they are moving him to a rehab facility. I'm scared and sad but excited at the same time. The faster he goes to that place, the faster he will come home. He has to be at the rehab place for a month atleast. Might be longer.

lol, I always get off the computer when it's storming too. I hate storms.

Tasha: It sucks that he has to be in rehab for so long, but you're right it is better that he gets in their quicker.

I'm referencing my last assessment for this session...I'm going to hand it in tomorrow and then come home and relax...unless I feel better, in which case my sister and I are going to go shopping. I'm going to help her pick out a new dress for her 6 month anniversay with her boyfriend. I don't really like him, but I'll do what I can to make my sister happy

Ash you definitely should tell the school nurse and your guidance counselor. They need to know so they can help you with anything they can. I know there isn't much left of school this yr but by the time school starts in the fall, your going to be showing specially if you are already getting a bump. Being preg won't normally get you out of school but they might being that school is almost over. Oh and don't try to force yourself in jean shorts. It's better to be comfortable than squish your baby bump. Try a bigger size or wear strechier stuff. Or if you want you can go get a few maternity items. They have shorts that go below the belly-but they will probably be a little big right now. You may want to give it a few months.

Amy-congrats on losing 45lbs. Thats awesome! I've started working out but have only lost about 8lbs so far. What's your secret?? lol

Tasha-I hope you get your project fixed and that you apss your test. And thats great about your dad being moved to rehab. It's better than him being stuck in icu plus like you said the quicker he goes the quicker he gets to go home!

Kim-I hope you feel better and get to go shopping. And don't feel bad about not liking her bf. I don't like my sister's husband-never have and well, never will.

Kiera-sry you don't get to get on much right now. Maybe once school is out and life slows down some for you you can get on more

Ash: Yes, i agree with Wilda, you should tell your school nurse and guidance counselor. Well...come to think of it, i agree with everything Wilda says, so ill just second it Not fitting into your old clothes, or being the same size as you were (which btw, congrats on being that size ) is normal for pregnancy. When my mum went on maternity leave, she just had a whole wardrobe for maternity clothes...quite funny really

Amy: Woooooh! Well done! I went on a summer diet this last two months. Pretty good. Basically you just eat fruit..so i got the cook to do loads of fruit bread.

Tasha: Yay! Im glad your father is on the mend even more than before And Gosh! I hope you can get your project fixed.

Kiera: Hehe, well i hope your parents had a nice anniversairy. love Lady gaga! And i wish all well whilst the storm is happening! They scare me

Kim: Get well soon! You have to do shopping! Hmm...i get that. My brother always chooses the snobby brats as girlfriends. There was one who for some reason, decided to hate me..and get this..move into my room? Seriously i think she was crazy. SHe started unpacking her things in my room, i was like "Get out before i get my make-up wipes and make you uglier!"
I don't usually have to put up with them that long though, my brothers never had a relationship that lasted longer than a week? He's such a manslag!
I do love him though

As for my day...It was my little sisters birthday today! I'll tell you about it later, or tomorrow...we're going out for a big meal. But my parents can't make it?! Sometimes they piss me off so much...
But me and my brother have plans to make it up to her

Well, right now we are all freaking out. My husband's niece ran away from home last night. She left a note saying she was going to St. louis (her hometown-she's living with her grandparents). She didn't take her phone nor her id. She hasn't been taking her birth control or been using the monthly neccessities so my mom in law is thinking maybe she's pregnant and freaked out and ran off. IDK what happened but she's only 16 and we have no idea if she is even ok. They are filing a police report and going through her phone and all to give all her numbers to the police so they can see if anyone knows anything. Just Please Pray that she is ok and found soon. I'm not close to her but I'm a bit panicky and worried so I can imagine how my in laws are.

idk what to do right now. They live in AR so it's not like I can go over there and help. I guess the only thing I can do is Pray and hope I get a "We've found her" phone call. Gosh I'm shaking my now. UGH I swear as soon as she is found and determined that she is ok I'm gonna fly there give her a huge hug and then beat her ass! I just hope she is safe.
