Little Wounded Knee?

“Cute! They do grow up fast.

I was thinking y'all might be preggers again when I saw this pop up though. Found out this weekend that my youngest brother's wife is pregnant again.”

“I thought about it after I posted. I bet someone will think we are pregnant again.

Nope, not yet. We ae going to try again in another 6 to 8 months.

Congrats uncle to be again! How many neice's/nephew's you have?”

“Two nephews and a niece, but we hardly see her because her scumbag father (my brother) had a serious falling-out with her mom. We should try and get her back down here during Thanksgiving or something, it's been a couple of years.”

“ha, that one of her laying on her side is funny!! adorable.”

“That one was tricky lyra. She is actually on a bean bag with a sheet drapped over it. As of late, she has been rolling over a lot! The first time the photographer tried to take the picture, she rolled off and she was snappin it, right in my arms.

That was the second take. They developed the first one for giggles. It turned out pretty good. She was face down, falling into my arms. She was in mid air just above and the camera caught it.”

“Wk, I thought you were preggers again by the thread LOL!

Yup, she is a cutie and very well behaved too!!! :)

I know a lot of babbies that would have been crying a lot but your baby bean stayed very well behaved (EVEN WHEN SHE REALLY WANTED YOUR BEER) lmao!”

“What, no naked buns-up on a rug shot??”

“No po po shots Mark-O

I am afraid Bearmagnet will be up in here checking out my daughter!

HA HA!”

“very cute kid WK...i've very jealous...i can't wait to be a father...we've been "trying" very hard...i guess too hard :(
we try artificial next month!!!”

“Those blue eyes are going to break some hearts when they get older. She already seem to be taking after me a bit. Gong to be hard to keep up with.

You guys will get it! Just don't let the stress and pressure get you down. Believe me! We tried for 9 months before we got it right. We thought it was not going to happen. Stress will kill your chances big time.”

“the kick in the nuts(ha ha) is my wife's best friend just had one last week...it was pretty hard on her”

“She's a cutie and she knows it!”

“That happened to us as well. We were "competing" with a few other friends at the same time, and all of them got pregnant in the same month, we did not. It was all good though, because all got pregnant again so ours will be in the mide age wise.

You guys sound a lot like us. You have to keep her calm. That is what I had to do. She was an emotional mess. Half the time she didn't want to hear anything, so I left her alone. Other times she needed the support and I was there to give it.”

“We were amazingly lucky. It took 4 months for our first and two months for our second. My wife's best friend did many cycles of IVF before it took.


WARNING! DO NOT TELL ANY WOMAN CONSIDERING IVF THE FOLLOWING STORY!!!!!


On her last implantation attempt (the one that worked) the sedation was messed up on my wife's friend. She was paralyzed during the procedure, but not sedated in any way, so she was awake for the whole thing.

It's a good thing it worked, because she said she's not taking the chance of going through that again.

“We had no trouble at all gettin' pregnant.

Hey, this really works!!!”

“Yikes bit! That sucks”

“thanks for the info bit...i don't think we're gonna try invetro though...just artificial insemination...invetro is quite a bit of money and, like your example, that's just for a maybe...if we're gonna spend that kinda money we'll put it towards adoption...at least that way we know we'll have a baby”

“My sis & bro-in-law went through invetro. They had twins!”

“That is really a problem with surgery in general, not just IVF. Make sure you have a good anesthesiologist. What happens is they forget the drug that knocks you out, and only give you the paralyzing drug.”

“wow, Gracie looks like a baby model”

“OOOOOO, don't tell me that. Next thing I know, she will be 15 and dating!”

“naw, she'll be dating at 13.”

“She's a sweetie WK!


Thrifty, hang in there. It takes awhile sometimes (four years for us). After awhile I just decided I may not have a child, then it was all for fun and whammy, I was pregnant! It's probably much more difficult if it's your heart's desire though.”

“wow, 4 years!!...really??...4 years of actually trying?...did you guys seek any help?...it's going on 2 for us”

“those pictures are adorable!!

dang...you give me one week and i would get pregnant. I had a sister that tried for over a year..never worked. then she gave up...and boomm.....she got pregnant!”

“I think it took us a few months the first time, a few weeks the second, and one weekend in Destin the third.”

“Your wife is preggers again, DH?”

“Thanks Gem and Sass!
I have heard so many stories like that.

The stress of trying to have a child interferes a lot of the time. When you have admited to yourself that this is not going to work, the stress melts away and BOOM!”

“She was for a few weeks. She wants to try again. Hey, we're going to the Smokies this weekend. I wonder if Anthony Creek would be a good name? Our daughter is nicknamed Sipsey (wink, wink)”

“Oh...well sorry about that and good luck on trying again!”

“Thanks.”

“gem, i've heard those stories too...or people will adopt and that relieves the stress of trying and then they get pregnant too!”

“I have some friends that tried for probably 15 years, adopted two wonderful children from Russia and propmtly got pregnant within a few months. They now have a 4, 3, and 1 year old. New mom around 40 with 3 kids 3 and under was a load.”

“Thrifty, I guess we were casual about the whole parenthood deal. We didn't take temperatures or anything like that but we didn't take any precautions either. After a few years I just figured maybe we couldn't have kids and was content with being childless. Neither of us felt pulled toward seeking help. We figured if it didn't happen it wasn't that big of a deal. So, yes it was four years w/o any bc before we got pregnant.”

“If my wife and I hadn't used any b/c I think we'd have 15 kids (one for each year of marriage). Her family is famously fertile; she had a great-aunt who had 11 kids.”

“11 kids! I think if that was me I would start selling them.

Ha Ha, j/k!”

“Our daughter is nicknamed Sipsey (wink, wink)”

I don't think Laurel would like being nicknamed "Forney." :D”

“lol, Abby came about when Matt's server was down for four days!

“TB - yes, bad nicknames would come her way.

Sass - I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but very funny regardless.”

“Happy 1st Birthday little one!

How time flies.”

“Wait till they are teenagers”

“Wow! it sure did fly by. Congratulations on a successful first year. Now the real fun starts; talking, walking, getting into everything, experiencing all the oooh and aaah moments toddlers have. Enjoy every second WK! =)”

“is she walking yet?”

“Happy birthday cutie! :-)
If she's walking, she'll soon be hiking!”

“Not walking yet, but close. If anything, she will be a climber. She pulls out dresser drawers to climb to the top. Does the same thing in the fridge.”

“Man, you're not supposed to put babies in the fridge! It's the CRIB they go in.”

“Oh, right! Hey, she likes the cold.”

“No pictures?”

“Happy Happy Joy Joy!”

“She likes the cold? Oh man, not another winter hiker!”
