We went to see The Incredible Hulk last weekend. SS loves going to the movies, but there is no theatre in BM's town. As we were leaving the movie, he asked me what I thought about him buying two tickets to The X Files to give to BM, along with a gas card and a gift card to a restaurant in town so that she could take SS to see the movie. They both chimed in that she loooooves The X Files. I told him that it was his money and he could do whatever he wanted with it.
So BM is supposed to have SD back for a weeks worth of time and then SD is supposed to be returned to DH for his July time. DH agreed that SD could go back early in July because BM was due at end of July. Now all of a sudden here we are days away from sending SD to her and still not a flight confirmation. (Bm is to buy this round per agreement) So DH asks her about it and she says that her doc told her that her baby could be here in less than 3 weeks so she wants to keep SD instead of sending her back and will send her at the end of July.
I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts. One theme I find puzzeling is timeshare/visitation agreements or lack thereof.
Well let me start by saying HI to all I'm new here and after reading many of the blogs it was almost like looking into my own life sorry this is long but haven't been able to vent,so with that I will explain my lovely life I've known my now hubby for several years and his daughter's mother as well and the crazy thing is we all were friends at one point in time,well they were together for almost 5 years had a child then she decided to haul ass when he was at work (out in the ocean) we live in Fl. so she went to Ga.
So BM called me last night.
Not gonna lie...my heart was racing because usually these conversations do not go well.
She was as nervous as me.
She explained to me that a lady had come into her work wearing some beautiful jewelry. BM chatted with the woman and come to find out she actually sells the jewelry. BM explained how after reviewing the catalog, she thought of me and thought I would be interested. BM planned on attending an open house at the woman's house on Friday...would I like to go with her?
I said yes.
What feelings did you go through when you were pregnant? I've asked a few of my friends in this position, and there seemed to be a few things in common.
Ie. for a while, I was sad that this was my first time experiencing this and not my hubby's first time.
How I'd counteract this feeling: I'd think about how it's OUR first time experiencing it together..but part of me wanted for him to only experience it with me (yeah, maybe it's selfish, but whatever).
I know the name changes have been confusing.....but I noticed some one els has the name stepwitch, and that will be really confusing. So I'm back to Chel...Chel Bell is a nickname of mine from that Beatles song Michelle my Bell, my mother loved that song, so hence the name she gave me. Hello to everyone. 
SD18 was living with BM / staying at her boyfriend's quite a bit. Unfortunately SD18 received a letter from her boyfriend the other day which said he didn't love her any more etc etc. SD18 has as good as moved in here now for company (BM does shifts and SD18 doesn't want to be alone).
I am welcoming some blunt honesty here - if you have an opinion please let me hear it.
THIs is where I am. IF you care to read - I will try to keep it short but I am notorious for rambling....
MArried - almost a year - lived together 2. 6 kids total - 3 mine - 3 his, now through adoption, 4 mine - 5 his. 4 live here - 6 here now
Hi, all....
Thanks so much everyone for all of your input/suggestions/common experiences regarding my past week with the nasty adult SDs. I found some time to finally read many of YOUR blogs, too, and it's uncanny how much we all have in common and how much we've "survived"!!
