My special lady! Bronzed Goddess

BG....I'll come down and massage your back for ya. Damn husband of yours...next time he wants his back popped, pop it good. ;)

I wanna revise my guess since you're still not due for another 2 weeks, but I won't...maybe I'll be right and you'll have an early delivery! :)

I was lucky when I was pregnant...hubby was an angel and treated me well. We were broke after having a failed business and living with my in-laws (whom I adore) up until the 7th month. I spent my days helping my mother-in-law who was paralyzed from a stroke, cooking and cleaning and relaxing in the pool. I made all of my maternity clothes and lots of baby clothes. Following the doctor's maternity diet put 60 lbs on me though...my belly's covered in stretch marks, damn it! We finally found an appartment and moved in and within a couple of weeks I was put on bedrest for the last 2 months due to pre-eclampsia. I got a list together and my husband and brother-in-law did all of my Christmas shopping for me. After the baby was born and I finally got out of the hospital (6 day stay because I was having problems bleeding) my in-laws had bought and set up the baby's crib and stocked us up with diapers. I nursed so no need for bottles and stuff. At 4 weeks my daughter slept through the night from midnight till around 7am, nursed her for half an hour, then back to sleep till around 9am. Hubby would often bring her in to me and put her back in her crib. My baby's 11 now and just last week I got rid of the last of her baby things...gave them to girl scouts as they were collecting for a newborn. I kept a few of her toys and I cried as I sorted through them...I miss her being a baby at times. Now instead of diapers, I'm buying her first bras...the years go by so damn fast.
 
Mrs. P...Really sweet story!

People would always tell me how fast the year's go when you have a child. I never believed 'em. Boy, was I ever WRONG!

I still have Bri's baby clothes packed away. Why I'm keeping them is beyond me!

Bra shopping? I recall this event with my mom. She cried in the damn store! She bawled like a baby when I started my period too! I laughed at her...I NOW know where she was coming from with those tears! I'll do the same DAMN thing with Bri when her time comes!

I think BG is going to go early as well! Second babies 9 times outta 10 come early!

BG missed my hubbies B-DAY Monday....BUT..We have a 15 year Anniversary on the 28th of May!!! (subliminial message, BG: 5/28 5/28 5/28 5/28 5/28- LOL)

:D

A couple of weekends ago my daughter and 2 of her friends wanted to be like the teenagers and go shopping in the mall on their own. We organized a sleepover, and the girls spent an hour getting ready to go out to the mall...pink lipgloss, light eye glitter, highlighter pink blush, hair all decked out, special "mall" clothes, the girls askin to borrow my shoes...it was so cute. I know the girls well enough to know they'd be ok walking around this mall if they stuck together, so I gave them my cell phone and I had hubby's phone and they agreed to call me once every 15 minutes or so. I was in the mall the whole time not far away from them and stood on line for 30 minutes to get us all X2 tickets. They had informed me that hubby and I were to sit up towards the front of the theater and they'd take the back. LOL So, I get the checking in calls from them...they were trying on clothes at some of the teenie bopper stores and like the little girls they are, they also hit the candy store and Claire's for some cheap accessories.

They hooked back up with hubby and I a little early and together they had chipped in and bought me an early Mother's Day/birthday present...it was a multicolored metalic tongue barbell! The girls are a trip...they said they liked me so much cuz I've got "style." I tend to dress a little funky at times and listen to the same music stations that they like...most of the mom's at school are pretty conservative, so the kids are more comfortable with me and they don't keep secrets from me. I'm always willing to explain things and I don't yell at them much...kids are gonna be kids, ya know? But I also have rules and limitations, like my daughter kept asking when she could use the word "crap" and "suck" (like...."that movie sucks") and since I consider those to be nearly curse words, I finally gave in and said she could use those words when she's talking to her friends as long as no other adults were around. All of her friends had been using the word "crap" for a while and it took me a year to finally give in and let her use it.

Anyway, after we had snacks at the food court and the girls headed into the theater by themselves to get snacks and get a good seat. When we got in there 15 minutes later, the girls had the back row already. They motioned for my husband to come up and my daughter explained that they almost got thrown out of the theater...reason: my daughter said that since the movie didn't start for another half hour they could just go into some of the other movies for a little bit to check them out, but an attendant heard her, and although she was only joking around, the attendant got pissed and said that she could throw the girls out for just SAYING that! The girls learned their lesson though...glad nothing bad happened.

So...we go home and the girls do their usual sleep over stuff...I finally went to bed around 4am and they were still going strong. The next morning they started waking up around 11 when I hear one of the girls say "OMG...something TERRIBLE just happened!" Winds up, she got her period for the first time. They've all had the talk both at school and in Girl Scouts, so they knew what it was all about. My daughter said to tell me, but the girl was a little shy, so both of them came to me together to ask for a pad. Of course her panties were messy, so I told her to just rinse them out a little in the sink and to drop them in the washing machine as I had just started a load of clothes washing. She wasn't embarrassed anymore, BUT she said she didn't want to tell her mom because she knew her mom was gonna make a big deal out of it and she asked me to keep it quiet. I told her that she had to tell her mom, but if she wanted me to do it, I would and I'd ask her not to make a huge fuss. She liked that idea, so that's what we did. It went smoothly, but the mom did say she was gonna talk to the girl about it when they got home.

I'm so glad I'm not 11 or 12 y.o. anymore! They have hormones starting and don't quite understand why they get so emotional out of the blue. They're embarrassed about their boobs starting up, but the ones who are slow to develop wish they had them like the other girls. Who's shaving, who's not allowed to shave, who doesn't even need to shave yet...being at this point in their maturity is tough, but as long as us mom's stick by them and explain what's going on they'll make it without too much confusion.

My daughter just asked me last week, "Mommy, what's ORAL SEX?" Luckily she didn't see my look of shock as I was driving and she was in the back seat. I simply told her that sometimes instead of touching eachother's private parts (private parts are anything that's covered by a girl's bikini or a boy's bathingsuit) with hands, people will sometimes use their mouths. Her response, "YUCK!!!" I just smiled and didn't say a word!
 
You're such a cool mama Puddles, I hope I stay up with the times. I should since I had Scotti pretty young. Well thankfully I don't have to worry about periods and such. It's damn hard being a girl. Only thing I'm worried about is broken bones for now :)

Were living with the in-laws at the moment (s-i-l), once I have this baby and he has his check up and is given the ok, I'm outta here. Back to Texas. Gonna go stay with my mom; so she can have some quality time with her grandbabies. :)

Vix, 28th is too far off :) Congrats on the 15 years!!!!!!! You hubby is a lucky man.
 
Mrs. P..I'm keeping Bri in a convent..I swear! Let them deal with those raging hormones! Come to think of it..Bri has these days where she gets all pissy with a 'tude!. I THINK IT'S STARTED ALREADY-LOL

I'm with you on being open with a child ON ANY subject. Sex should NEVER be a taboo subject at ANY age! You are a great mommy! Your lil gal WILL always come to you since you have allowed such a great relationship to start NOW! Soooo important IMO!

My mom and dad were VERY open with me even way back then. I did not have the typical old fashioned folk's. My mom and dad are in their late 70's too! Their generation NEVER talked about sex w/ their kids..Mine DID- THANK GOD!!

Now that you mention your sleep over and the lil gal getting her period....I'm trying to recall my age when I started my period. I think I was 15! Damn, I was a late bloomer according to today's standards!

Thanks BG...I'm the lucky one- REALLY!

It's also nice that you are getting to go see your mom after the birth! THERE is NOTHING like having your mom around during this time. I would have been LOST without my mom!
 
BG...sorry FL didn't work out for ya. It took us a long time to get used to it and after being here for 2 yrs, we moved back to NY, then our business failed and we were back in FL living with hubby's parents. Things turned around for us and we love it here now. Before you leave, we gotta at least have lunch together!
 
Yes we will have to have lunch and a whole girls night out away from the kids. There's just something about being a Texan; nowhere else can compare. :)
 
If you haven't been to Ybor City yet, then that's where we need to go...dinner and a night out. I'm ready right now! Hurry up and have that baby already.
