Lola: I am going out tomorrow....time to get the Netti. The ballet will just be DH and I. We thought about taking the older ones, too, next year. We are trying to decide if we are going to go with the Atlanta ballet or the Duluth ballet. The Duluth one is half the price and has great reviews. Any advice? I can not believe your daughters are going to be in the Nutcracker!!! What could be better than that?

TTC5: I have no idea about all the + OPKs?!?! Twins? Faulty OPKs? I hope your doc can give you an answer.

I know you didn't ask ME this question, but I thought I would tell you that my 7 year old is AWESOME with my 19 month old. She is such a great big sister! THe baby asks for DD1 now when she falls down, or wants something... she loves her big sister better than anybody!

Your girls will do great when you have that little one, Lola. And you WILL have another baby!!!

Thanks for answering too! I should have actually directed that at everyone because most of us have oldests that are up there in age for baby assistance!

And thanks for the encouragement....I do believe it will happen also. I just have my shaky days when I get despondent about it. xxoo

I love seeing a little sister run to a big one when they get hurt! I always wanted a close relationship with my sister but don't have one due to her judgmental nature and my mothers "you two figure it out" method of child raising. I want my girls to genuinely love and depend on each other so when mine do that it makes me feel like I've helped them acheive something so wonderful.

THIS is exactly why girls are awesome and why I love having daughters. My girls are best friends for life, and I love spending time with them myself. They would be so great with a baby, boy or girl. I am sure that poor kid would end up being the worst spoiled child on earth with having essentially 3 moms and then a dad who is the sappiest doter of a man ever. (See, this is why I want him to have his own baby so badly.)

I think she might be a snuggly baby, at my 12 weeks scan she was snuggled into my placenta and she was doing the same thing at the 20 week scan.

Ahhhh those are the BEST! I know what you mean about getting used to the idea of a girl. I had to do the same with my #2 because everyone had me convinced it would be a boy (the ex's family mostly, because they wanted it to be a boy). I wouldn't say I had GD, but just had to rearrange my "thinking" so to speak. I am sure we all know exactly what I am talking about. Your baby sure is a cutie, Kris! All of them are! I love u/s!!!

Ladies need advice, do you think I should go to the dr and check that my levels are all ok?

I am worried something is wrong with me

I have had + OPKs all day today and last night. They are VERY positive no doubt about it!

My chart shows O was 4 days ago. And I am sure I did too....

I do not feel like I am ovulating right now...

And I am only 4 dpo so there is no way the OPK is picking up on conception this early.

I am freaking out something is wrong with me

So so sorry I keep going on about it but this has never happened to me. After O, I get - or a faint test line, if that...

Not a bad idea to get a blood draw and check.....I had 4 days of +opks the month I took a bunch of DHEA (and also conceived the last time). Atomic said maybe I ovulated twice, and I saw your post about that but haven't had time to read yet....but probably nothing to worry about. Are you having o pains anymore? You would not even have implantation yet, so they are still detecting LH in your system.

[LolaInLove]

I sure hope there was more at the cervix. We ended up getting the timing perfect. DTD at 5.30am and I O'd some time the same day.

Bec, sounds perfect!!! Nice job! Vacation always ups your fertility, doesn't it? FX this does it for ya!

What a fun date night! Well, I can tell you this: the reason the Duluth Ballet is cheaper is because they are a civic company, meaning their dancers are all students (youth-high school at the oldest). The Atlanta Ballet is all professional, like my company is, meaning all of my dancers are paid, this is their job all day long...they were once students also, but now are expected to get on that stage and not ever mess up, LOL. MOST of the time, the professional shows are way, way better, because we have a bigger budget for production and, of course, our dancers are the cream of the crop. However, civic companies are important, and it is good to support them too, because I pick graduating student from civic companies to join our pro company. I'd say go for whichever you feel like! Hope you have a blast!!!

And yes, Netti it up, you will thank me.

HI Begonia! How are you doing? I miss you. xxoo

[LolaInLove]

OK everyone, check this out: I used to be a size 6, went up to a 12 with the boy diet for about a year and 4 months, and now have been back to my old eating habits (AND a vegetarian for 4 days now, LOL) for only a month and am a size 8 now. LOVIN' IT!!!!!!! I am so excited about the vegetarian diet....our whole family is doing it.....I have this hope that it will turn our situation around and make my DH become a super sperm factory. I've been reading about how it can change so much in your body in "The China Study," which I highly recommend!
