My husband's sons are 7 and (9 in August). We hope too that with our being straight with them and supporting them that they will make the right choice. We want them to love their mom but she seems to be damaging them right now (I won't go into it but the older one has major self esteem issues) and we can't stand it. We go to court the 22nd over placement. I don't know if the "stupid" thing will be brought up - my husband is afraid she'll take it out on the oldest one at least b/c of how she is (long story) and she seems to get her way most of the time in court and be able to interpret things her way and they let her keep doing it. The whole issue is that she is controlling his days b/c of a temporary schedule and then her and her (crazy screaming) lawyer try to paint my husband as being bad - they are actually having a process server testify next time as to how he has been evasive when he's been served (she comes up with these crazy things to serve him on that get rejected). Ooh one time he pulled in to the driveway and left when he saw the guy's van in the driveway. Big deal that doesn't make him a bad parent. She is the one dragging the kids around, making them get up 3 hrs before school, damaging their self esteem, and trying to kick their (good) dad out of their lives. She's evil!Well tomorrow I go for the Progesterone test and I think it should be OK - crossing my fingers - my temp has stayed up the past few days. I am looking forward to the gastroenterologist - need to concur this acid reflux and maybe test for parasites, etc. and get rid of these hives even...that would make ttc much easier! I'm sure my whole immune system/hormones are freaked out.
Any "pg" symptoms lately???
My temp went up a little today so it looks like I ovulated as far as my chart goes - crossing my fingers! I am still worried about this sore throat - hive thing and hope I can get to the bottom of it soon. I don't know if the gastroenterologist will just send me home with Prevacid or what. I have been sleeping with my upper body elevated and my husband said I haven't woken him up tossing and turning like I usually do. My throat still hurts and I do feel the constant burning-raw feeling at the back of my throat. Hopefully if anything is damaged (maybe my esophogus from acid reflux) I can heal it by taking Prevacid and keeping to my strict diet - which is boring...I need to read up on foods - I know to avoid tomatoes, onion, pop, cheese, chocolate, citrus, etc. So, I have to make sure of what I CAN eat and see if I feel better. I still wonder why the ENT didn't do swab tests on me but I'm not the doctor...
If It wasnt such a serious thing I'd almost have to laugh at that big ball of irony! Plus we went to home depot today to buy plants and there was this little boy maybe 2 yrs old who got bonked on the head somehow and started crying. His mother was right there and just kinda ignored him with this bored look on her face while he was just crying "mama, mama". I almost lost it because I wanted to go pick him up and love on him, which of course strangers don't take kindly to(HAHA). I had to leave the line and go sit in the car because balling in the middle of home depot was simply not on my agenda today. I am by no means a perfect mother but it's hard to see stuff like that when I got a big fat not pg test this morning! UGGH! On top of that DH was just so oblivious that I wanted to smack his head! When he got back to the car he was like, "what's wrong?" And granted he's not a mind reader but sometimes a little sensitivity would be nice!! Anyway, have a good time with the kids! 
but I didn't feel too bad b/c they were cheap, but then I decided to wait til I had an "implant dip" or big-time pg symptoms, or was really late. Don't feel silly - if I were in your shoes I would be testing now too. That's cute how your husband is wanting you to test! Be sure to update me on your testing!
