I knew one Adalynn at first but after hearing her name I'd heard it several other times...

There is actually a term for that phenomenon. :O

Aww Ellie is such a cute nickname! Ours is just 'Baby Bear' until she gets her name and it doesn't look like anything is getting agreed upon anytime soon. :P It will probably be the very last second, just like last time. Bought any girl stuff yet?

I still think Bella is a pretty name regardless of Twilight.

As awful as it sounds... I have lost all appreciation of the name Bella or Isabella. :/
I don't hate Twilight, though.

Aww that's ok Clair, I won't ask why.


OMG why is it so hot in this room? Even the hamster is sweating :shock:

GRAR.... I'm going to have to drive all the way down to the other side of town and wait in the stupid government office for a god awful amount of time to get a stupid NUMBER... I hate our government soooooo much I can't even see straight! Two-one hour slots when you can call their office not only isn't enough time to allow NORMAL people to access information but then they don't ever take the dang "If you have reached this recording we are not open...." message off the phone and it hangs up on you!!!! EVEN DURING THOSE TWO MEASLY HOURS GRAR D:<

Ok I feel less aggravated now... Not really but yeah....

It isn't helping that I am rather uncomfortable right now... Ellie isn't being very nice!

Edit: so that wasn't as bad as originally planned! When I got there there were only like 2 people inside.... Which is like SUPER RARE! And the guy who helped me was REALLY nice... :P

*peeks in*

How is life treating everyone? :3

Busy and feeling slightly.... Boulder-y... But I am hoping to get some more cleaning done before 10PM and bedtime... Other then that good... How about you Chi? How's the babes?

I had to share this since I felt I was cleaver in the email I sent to my husband earlier today

i've come to the conclusion that the female version of the human body is SEVERELY flawed... Who's bright idea was it to put our consumption, reproductive, urination and excreting organs all so close to the same area? AND THEN decided to say ok lets make the infant form of a human roughly 14-25 inches long... and push at ALL OF THOSE ORGANS???

Ok I am just complainy because I feel like I've been carrying a bolder for the last 8 hours and had NO idea why.... Apparently I just needed to use the rest room to give Ellie the room she desired to stop torturing me :P

Only did some minor tweeks to it... lol...

When I went into labor with the twins my doctor said it was too early and I wasn't in labor. She told me the pain would go away if I went to the bathroom. I was annoyed. I know how my body does labor, and that is exactly what it was. Labor. But I tried anyway, and didn't have to do anything so I called her back and whined and she told me to come in. I was at 6 when I got there. ;)
I think the male body just looks funny. >.> There's something completely alien about their reproductive organs. They just don't look like they belong!

Oh I agree we got all the form but function...??? Not so much.... The male body is so..... Weird... But right now with Ellie pressing my stomach and my bladder.... I am questioning our make up as well! She's got 3 more months to grow... My bladder is going to be a pancake I am pretty sure... and I don't even want to think about my intestines... or stomach...

I mean think about it though... Pregnancy JUST having a baby inside of you can get uncomfortable.... Causing you to sleep awkward or fighting with baby toes (or head) in your ribs... But then add "symptoms" of pregnancy... Like constipation? REALLY baby is already pressing on stuff down there do you have to make it harder to "go?" lol... Just saying... Or extreme hunger and vomiting at the smell of food.... I've thrown up more since getting pregnant with Ellie over STUPID STUFF then I had in the past 3.5 years since Sean was born.... (I was constantly sick with him so that doesn't count) but the bad part is that it isn't even morning sickness that has caused it... Once it was sun sickness which was my fault, once brushing my teeth after breakfast in my second trimester, and three times now due to milk... I like milk Ellie... I know my body doesn't necessarily like it but it deals.... Why with you is it completely intolerant of it huuuuuh?

I don't know if it's because I'm so damned tall and wide, but I didn't have a problem with space. *hides* The only discomfort I had was in the last two weeks. She dropped down, so when I would get up to walk it felt like she was going to fall out. Weirdest sensation I've experienced to date. But, she never stayed down. She would engage, disengage and then repeat. I don't know if she was just testing the waters or what. O_o

I think I just had a lucky implantation. My friend was pregnant along with me (her first, born 3 days after Terra) and she never got to feel all the awesome kicks and couldn't play with the baby due to the placenta blocking everything. She still delivered vaginally, but they were curious for a while if she'd have a c-section.

Anyway! All here is well. My Fall term starts today. Class is at 4. Terra turns 1 year old in two days.. It's nuts...

My God has it already been a year?? Wow, I swear it was just a few months ago you were telling me you were pregnant! xD

I didn't get constipation or any other random pregnancy symptoms other than morning sickness/sickness at the smell of certain foods. And I can't stand mint toothpaste while pregnant. It always made me vomit. It was "uncomfortable" but not severely so. The only problem I really had was sleeping while pregnant with the twins. xD It was hot and miserable constantly, and Scott would complain fiercely if I turned up the air and he hated the fan blowing on him (and I told him to gtfo and sleep on the couch because it was too hot for me NOT to have it) but other than the sleeplessness it was good. Oh, and the attempt to watch a movie in a theater. Never doing that again while pregnant. Theaters aren't all that comfortable to begin with and I move around a lot while pregnant. xD Baby and I need to be insync and baby generally wants to do their own thing with out regard to me.

Maybe it is just the fact that I have a short torso but I know that I'm not the only girl in the world with one... lol

I'm pretty long in the torso and legs. xD

Maybe that is why you have an easier time then... Though OMG I can relate to the heat issue O_o;; Dillon put in the small A/C in our bedroom window 2 days ago THANK GOD! Cause I'd been miserable up until now!!!! Sean's enjoying it currently and I am enjoying the cooler in the office :)

I can't believe it's already been a year, Chi! :O
I started college an entire year ago, too... @[email protected] So wild. Time has FLOWN!

Clair just recently had a coworker tell her she'd (as in Clair) would look really cute with a big round pregnant belly... I wasn't too sure how to take that, though. :lol:

So long as it's a round pregnant belly. There are so many women here with sharp pregnant bellies. O.o It's kinda odd. But then again, I never really looked too closely at my pregnant bellies until recently and I realized that mine were all lopsided. xD Why can't I have the cute roundness??

It always makes me smile seeing a pregnant woman... But I'd never imagine myself being "cute" during pregnancy. :lol:

Mine are lopsided too Mellie... Babies just don't want to be in the middle they want to be on the left or right lol...

Anyone want a 3 year old???? OMG he is bored out of his mind and I can't help him... Dishes need to be done and dinner needs to be cooked but he is MAKING ME CRAZY!!!! He won't stop climbing-rolling-jumping-slamming and any other destructive word you can put in there.... off-on and INTO everything.... including me... O_o;;

Monday's and Tuesdays freaking SUCK!

:hugs for jazzy: I'll take your 3 year old for a bit...if you want my 6 year old that doesn't want to listen to me long enough to read her fluency test through. >.< It's only a minute long (er well 4 because I make her do it a few times to get better at it) But I swear she drags it out to over an hour!

I have a friend that just took her childhood reading test thingamajinger that she needed for her teaching credentials...Imma have her come over and help me out because Good God this child wants nothing to do with me!

I can do that :P Michael was fighting me over "COLORING" homework last week but I won... He's easier to deal with in my opinion anyhow then a 3 year old with nothing to do for 2 days straight.

So it is Wednesday and that mean Mikes is home today so Sean should be better once Mikes gets home from school :P

Kura always fights me about her spelling words. She needs to write them 3 times each every day and take a home test on Thursday. It's a daily battle. </3

Who wants to name my child? Because I'm going to die if I have to look at anymore names.:gonk:

I'm going to have to skip that one Panda... It took us forever to settle on our daughters name...

So Michael hasn't had homework for like a weekish now... He's doing testing tomorrow and then has Fri and Mon off.. :/ Then Tuesday he is suppose to have homework EVERY NIGHT except Friday O_o;

Kura has homework every day except for Friday. Aaron gets his homework packets on Thursdays and they're due the next Thursday but there's really only like 4 days of work in there doing a page to a page and a half each night.
I like it, it keeps Kura busy and engaged generally...when she isn't fighting me. And then I have Melody doing stuff that I make up for her just so she has homework too. I like that they're continuing to learn at home.

Panda- awwww. No can do, names have to flow and I'd need your last name to work from. xD With my first we went with my husbands initial and worked from there since I knew the sounds would go well. While he's Scott Alan, my daughter is Sakura Allison. I don't know if that helps any buuuut I'm throwing it out there anyway.
