Yael wow you have been through a lot this past year, havent you! You sound like a very strong and very positive woman! How exciting TTC again! I mentioned to Don I would like to try starting July or so 2007 and he said financially it just doesnt look good. I guess we'll see when the time comes! Bummer about work and the old woman stuck in the past century! I once worked with a man like that in engineering and I was trying to teach him computer drafting...it was a joke! he not only didnt want to learn it, but we ended up yelling at each other and it was a big mess! lol! Well, just try to hang in there till somthing better pops up! I hope the UV treatments work for you! Sounds plain miserable! I got a pregnancy rash called PUPPP when I was pg and heat, water, and all clothing that wasnt 100% cotton irritated it. I had it all over my arms legs and belly and ended up getting induced because of it (although I was already 6 days overdue). As far as bf goes, I havent pumped for days now and I still hurt! It has gotten so much better though. I am still feeding Abby frozen breastmilk, so she doesnt know any different yet. she is down to 2 bottles a day..one in the mid morning and one at bedtime. Other than that she eats regular food, water, and juice. She had spaghetti last night for the first time! What an adorable mess! It was straight to the bath after dinner!

Renee a pool party with flip flop invites and a pool cake sounds adorable!!

Melly how cute is that...Logan giving hisses! lol! Abby gives kisses to her babies and stuffed animals and occasionally to me, but not on command! Yes, it sounds like the people that left so early didnt study! I hope you did wonderfully!

Dani how fun getting Jett a budgie! I never hear them called that here...we call the parakeets! Don used to have them. He had a blue one called Marvin and he was the coolest bird ever! He would sit on his shoulder and run down his arm and grab his pencil while Don would try to do his homewor in college! lol! Marvin had a ton of personality! Let us know what color you get and what you call it and how Jett takes to it! Oh and of course take lots of pics!

Meg any news on the loan? I hope it goes through smoothly for you! I am a bit jealous of Beck getting to visit! I know I say this a ton, but be sure to take pics of the new place!

Abby has been waking up in the middle of the night everynight lately! I dont think it is teeth, because after I go in to comfort her she wants to play! I think it must be separation anxiety? Oh well, this too will pass, right? I cant believe she still only has 2 teeth! I look for any sign of top ones and there just isnt! Im starting to worry a teeny bit about Abby's vocabulary. All she says still is mama and dada and oh oh. She was such an early mama and dada girl, and now I just cant get her to say anything else! ITs probably just one of those all babies are different things. We'll see. I'll talk to the pediatritian at her 12 month shots. I'm feeling a bit better now...just a bad headcold now and headache. I am watching Haley for the first time this week, so no sleeping in today! I may have to try and catch a nap later since Abby had us up from 11:00 - 2:30 or so. Yes, Don took turns with me last night! How nice was that! Usually I try to get her before he wakes since he has to go to work the next day but last night he got up plenty since I wasnt feeling well!

I am tired, so sorry if my spelling was horrible! I hope you all have a great night! I hope all your babies sleep soundly!
