MT_firegirl- Sorry you have this rough time ahead of you.

Cindyrella- I'm doing pretty good, just a little fatigued. How is the adoption profile going?? We adopted our daughter through private adoption and I sent profiles out like crazy. I know one thing that our birth mother was very happy with and big deciding factor was our extended family and friends wrote notes for us and she said that our support system won her over. Anyway's if you need any help or have any questions feel free to ask. I would love to try and help you out.


How is everyone else???

I'm still hanging in there. I had 17 eggies retrieved and found out today that 7 fertilized. I am praying that they all look good since I am a little concerned because the last fresh cycle we had the same number of eggies (17) retrieved, 12 fertilized and only 4 were viable at transfer. Starting with 7 now, I am a little concerned... I find out Friday AM what is going on... Please keep us in your prayers!

cindyrella25 ~ I am so very sorry you are having such a time with the adoption. I don't understand why you have to pay for the informational meeting. That's wierd. When we started our adoption options, we met with an agency for free and they were great - they still touch base with us to see how everything is going. Oh, and I know what you mean about your friend. My neighbor, a good friend of ours, "accidently" got pregnant between birth control pills when she was changing from one brand to another. Now that her DD is 8 months, I find out she is 3 mos pg again - due to antibiotics this time.

I told them that after I transfer, we are trading houses and I am sleeping in their Oh so fertile bed!

MT_firegirl ~ hope all is going okay with EX-Dh in the picture...

Stupid (as he is now known) actually flies in to Kalispell today at 1:30...I was secretly hoping that he would act like a moron at a random airport and would get tased, arrested, kicked out of the military and been forced to become the Bit#$% of some huge guy named bubba........but oh well....doesn't look like that is happening.

J was nice enough to lock up all of the firearms in the house (wise man..he he) and I just found out this morning that Glenn got an email from James informing him that if I came home from the meeting sobbing and inconsollable, that they were going to need to meet up and settle it like men....woah! I have to admit I was impressed...and suprised....not James' style at all...but sweet

Calley...I am so excited and hopeful for you. At least you had 7 fertilize...which is definitley a great start! I'm sending prayers your way for a beautiful surprise!

Cindyrella....I'm with you on the same thing different year, I'm cycling again, which has been at least a little exciting considering what James managed to do on accident in May....CD4 today and started my crazy pills...I mean clomid...yesterday, so we'll see what happens...not holding out too much hope though.

Shawna....that sucks that you're so exhausted,...but neat why.

Not too much else going on right now, just trying to hold my head up and not KILL stupid in the mean time....although a little choking until he turns blue would be fun....right?? right?? ok.....*sigh* I won't hurt him....not worth the hassle of jail and everything...

Of course you are welcome here!!! The ladies here are wonderful! We may not have posts everyday but this is a perfect place to come b/c we get the frustration of being in this for soooo long.

Loren
Hey you! Hope you and bean are doing well! So glad you popped in to say hello!

Calley
Hoping like Loren that 7 is your lucky number and this is the one to bring a baby home in nine months!!!

Kelcey
Hope things are going OK with Stupid in town and no beatings need to take place

Shawnna
Glad you are doing well. Keep us updated, k?

Cindy
I know what you mean about the holidays. Another year has passed us by, another year we are still waiting, another year we wished so badly we had a little one there for Christmas... Sorry the adoption trail is not been an easy one for you. (The last two grandkids born were both "Ooops while on birth control"--oh that one hurts!! It is so rough to have step daughters that keep popping out kids on accident. One is living with us now so I constantly have to hear about "the babies" )


Nothing exciting here except two teeth that are infected and on amox and pain pills.

Well, I ALMOST made it without flying off the handle. This morning, I very graciously agreed to meet Ex at his hotel and swap some music files via computers that we had that each other wanted. Pretty simple request I thought. He then proceeds to let me "overhear" (rather deliberately and in his raised voice) that "I need to let you go baby, because the ***** is here" I pretty much just lost it at that point. I smashed his laptop into many pieces, and completely crushed his mass external storage device. I then proceeded to grab his phone and break THAT into many pieces as well. How I didn't manage to end up in jail or with another fractured eye socket, I'm not sure...but I then made him stand there and call the ***** back in front of me and tell her point blank that it was over. period. I got on the phone with her and told her to kiss that ____ green card goodbye because I would never let him go and that I was withdrawing the divorce petition (I'm listed at the petitioner because of residency issues) and moving to his home and that she better find herself a new soldier to manipulate. I lit into him with both barrels and left him kneeling on the ground begging me to come back and talk to him and crying and begging me "not to do this" as I got into my car and left to go fishing.

I swear...I had just had it....for him to be that blatantly disrespectful to me was over the top, especially considering that I picked his sorry ass up from the airport, took him to his truck, filled out the papers, paid half the ____ filing fee and even helped him load some of his crap....You can only antagonize a caged animal for so long before they've had enough and unfortunately for him, that's finally where I was at. He's tried to call all day and I've refused to even answer his calls...I finally sent him a text saying to not call me anymore that he would hear from my attorney and that I was going to his commanding officer first thing Monday morning to have him prosecuted for engaging in human trafficking while stationed in Korea (I have proof....bad news for him), fraudulently applying for moving benefits as a married soldier with the intent of moving his family to his new duty location and many other things relating to conduct unbecoming., All he had to do was be nice. Be respectful. And apparently, that was just too much for him....I have no sympathy at this point.
