    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

So after 7 months of "trying", we are finally there! Its been a crazy train there.

I say it like that because, my boyfriend was told by his doctor he was "borderline sterile". His swimmers just weren't up for the long swim. He had been trying for years with his ex-wife and nothing happened. So we didn't hold out a lot of hope that it could happen on its own. He had called his doctor a few weeks ago and spoke about fertility treatment options. After 3 months of tracking my ovulation to time it just right, and it didn't work, we kinda just said f-it and stopped being conscious of it and do just what comes naturally.

I was 5 days late, which I've been 4 days late and then Aunt Flow pops up, so I didn't think much of it. Then last night, my mood totally crashed. I was just disconnected. Not even George Carlin could make me laugh. I wasn't in a bad mood, just was out of it, I didn't feel tired as in wanting to sleep, but I didn't want to move or do anything. He asked if I might be pregnant and I dismissed it. But after a hour, I asked him to go buy me a test. 2 lines! My mood completely did a 360 then lol!

But omg, there is so much to do now!!! I estimated I am 5 weeks. I am making an appt for Thurs.

This isn't my first child, I have a 12 year old daughter. But when I was pregnant and had her, I was a single mom. I had my parents as a support system, but its not the same as having your man, the dad, there for you. And it feels so awesome to know I'm not doing this alone.
 
Oh, also meant to add....my boyfriend said...he's going to get to work right away on outfitting the shed for the snake breeding. We only have a 3 bedroom house. So the 3rd bedroom has been the reptile room. Can't have Junior and the snakes cohabitating.

I wonder if there is any baby decor with reptiles all over it. Robert swears its gonna be a boy. He said he had a dream a week ago we had a boy. We could break the 2 family streak of girls. My sister has 2 girls and his sister has 2 girls. But both are sides also are known for twins and neither side has had twins in many years. He told me to not jinx us, lol!
 
Congrats! GL at the appt.

We went with the a turtle theme, couldn't find much snake stuff for kids, lol.
 
CONGRATS!! I can practically feel your joy through the screen! Good luck and keep us posted on how you and your baby are doing :)
 
They had some cool reptile boarder just google it. Congrats !!!!! Start taking prenatal vitamins (health food store)or flintstone vitamins right away until you can get to the OB doctor.Its real important because the baby is developing vital organs right now. (Trust me I have been a Labor & delivery nurse for over 20 yrs)
 
Thank you! I've been on prenatals since I found out :) not seeing an OB this time. We have a midwife. First ultrasound is tomorrow. Having a natural home water birth.
 
Very cool! I am all for alternative in fact i do childbirth hypnosis. Just make sure your midwife works with a physician or is affiliated with a hospital . If an emergency arises (Heaven forbid) you want to make sure the bases are covered . I have been doing this over 20 yrs and have seen a lot of ireversible Midwife Boo boo's by lay midwifes!
 
She does. Florida law requires it since I'm going for VBAC. My OB with my last pregnancy did an completly unneccessary csection. I was only in light labor for 4 hours, he had induced me when I was just a day late. Pitocin and epidural didn't speed up labor like he wanted so he said I should get a csection. Being young single mom I didn't know then, I didn't have to. So this new and last baby, it's all on my terms.
 
Don't blame you! Women rarely get the choice anymore . Seems all's the doctors want to do is break your wanter and pit people and if you dont move fast enought c-section. My daughter was one of those too and my grandson was born c section. ( As long as your uterine internal incision was transverse you can vbac but your midwife will know this) Good luck to you!
