For those of you who have read my blogs you know that I recently had a miscarry. My doctor told me that we can try again after 1 normal cycle. I expcet that will be happening in the next 2-4 weeks. I feel great physically and I am ready to try again, but part of me worries that it may be too soon. I am curious if anyone has gone through something like this and if you were able to conceive right away. I am really looking forward to FINALLY having one of my own.
Hi All,
I have just come back from my mum's house (or mom's) for those of you in the UK. 
i am gonna tell you a story that i heard in a training session through work. it changed my outlook and i cling to it when things get tough, lengthy but worth the read i promise. better in person but here goes...
a middle age lady sits in her office one friday afternoon about this time of year, april...and her boss comes in and tells her she just got a promotion. the job of her dreams. she is so exited and elated, she is giggling to herself and cant wait to tell her freinds... (imagine how this feels)
My husbands ex is a B for lack of better words and has done a lot of awful things in the past to hurt my husband, but this time she involved me and crossed the line in a very personal way! As of last week I was 3 months pregnant. I lost the baby over last weekend and had a d & c scheduled for Monday morning, March 26. My 2 step kids were over on Sunday March 25 while biomom was out of town. She called my husband Sunday and told him she would not be picking up the kids as she typically does.
Ok, things have been going ok lately, largely because I've been just letting things go and bitting my lip. My DH has been in HK for a week and we've been missing each other a lot.
In the spirit of step-motherhood, i decided that I would pull my weight and pick up SD on the weekend. She didn't want to come on the scheduled time, so I rearranged my schedule to take her Saturday night and Sunday instead. Of course, we went to the beach, park, lunch, etc, etc.
Yesterday was SS's bday party. We always share the kids' bday parties with the BM, her husband, her parents, her friends etc. because DH wants to be there for their "friends" party and since they only live with us 25% time, on weekends, and go to school in their mom's neighborhood, all their friends live there and play there. So we the grown-ups split the duties, someone brings cake, someone does goodie bags, someone picks the venue and sends the invitations.
It seems like every single time it is hubby's weekend for his kids, BM sends him a (less than tactful) email (and copies me one it) that one of the kids has Cub Scouts or camping with church or something else going on. I must add here, that in her emails, she states... and I quote... "since you are unwilling to participate in the camping activities... by continuing to refuse to participate in his childhood..." WTF!!! And so what is dad supposed to do with the other two??? Take them along to the Boy Scout camping trip of the other one? Yesterday, one of the SS's told me ...
So who'd have thought that I would have this many posts in a row bearing good news!
You would think after almost 8 years of being seperated and 1 year of divorce, BM would be making progress...but to our dismay, things continue to get worse as time goes on. The other day, BF and I went out to eat for lunch. When we got back from lunch, I walked to my car to go back to work. When I opened the door, I found an envelope sitting on my seat that had been slipped through my cracked window. On it, in big capital letters, was written the word "WHORE". I picked it up and walked over to BF to show him what I had found.
at work yesterday, i felt like i was bombarded on all sides by issues of a sensitive nature (for me, anyway). i swear, there was nothing in my own life that was getting to me today, until this one guy that i work with started up on his saga of the problems that he and his ex-wife were having. nothing really to do with the kids, even. they are good friends and work well together where the kids are concerned. he is just distraught b/c he can't figure out why his ex has been standoffish lately, not wanting to talk or hang out.
