(Near) Houston, Texas Mom to Twins and a Bonus Baby!

Thanks, sweets!
God answered "No" in regards to babies, until I turned 30, so I just got started with my three. Actually, I am done.

 

Testing a pic....

They are cuties!!! I didn't get married until I was 32; I've always said if I had started 10 years earlier, I'd have at least as many as Crystal does. But once you hit 40, having babies takes a LOT MORE out of you, and now I'm closer to 50 than 40. I'm ready for MENOPAUSE, ladies!!! BRING IT ON!!!

 

Wow Jennifer those are some cute babies, wish I could do something like that, but it's hard to teach a old dog new trick. Some day maybe I don't know if I could do it.

Jackie, I am right up there with you and on the road to menopause with you, they can bring us anything and we can handle it. LOL

 

Hey sweets!

I tried to Private message you back, however, the system says your private mailbox is full and that you would have to delete some messages before you can accept anymore!!!

Here is what I wrote back to you.......

Hey there!

Thanks for the help, but the original problem was that there is no link (ON my screen) for a custom avatar option. :cry:

It is my understanding that you have to be a member for 30 days to get the option.

That' ok. I can wait.

Thanks fo the compliment on the babies!

Our classroom.... Those photos are from our Preschool from two years ago, in our house. We, just this past month, moved to an apartment. We are converting the master bedroom 20' x 15' into the classroom. The twins have a huge and high loft bed, which fits well with our 9 foot ceilings and the girls bed is under theirs. (They are so close in age that she thinks she is the same age and feels left out without the boys.

The original classroom in our old house was 8' x 8' SMALL!!!!!! I need the room for Sashi's (Her real name is Sasha, by the way) preschool "Creations" and for the boys' kindergarten messes and manipulative play. The only thing I need is a large round table. That would be awesome!

Ok, have a great morning!

P.S. Ifyou were talking about the monstermommy web page, it wil be redone, as soon as we get everything moved into the classroom and set up. Half of everything is still in boxes!

If you were talking about the photos page, that is simply an account on Picturetrail.com, so I can't take credit for that. haha!

 

Here is the mesage I got:

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted:

Awe! thanks!
I took all of those pics with my cellphone, and did the editing on photoshop 7. I am a digital photo nerd!

 

Get this...
I went through menepuase at 28! No kidding. My body started slowing the cycles when I was young. And the distance between them grew greater and greater untill they stoped completely. My husband used to have to lay ICE packs on me to cool me off from the hot flashes, jsut so I could go to sleep! I began aging fast.

No one could figure it out. Until I mentioned it to the internist who was treating my hypoglycemia.

Turns out, the hypoglycemia, effected the glucose levels in the body, then that (Along with regular hypoglycemia probs) secretly messes with your progesterone hormons. It errodes the progesterone levels in your body by telling the pituitary gland to shut up. So, then the ovaries decide they aren't getting paid, so they go on strike.

Once I got the synthetic progsterone, I felt like I could FLY! I felt young again! But stil no babies...

I stoped taking it (Under dr orders) to see if my body would "Kick in" and it did! Two fold! A pair of identical babies!

Halfway though my pregnancy, I found a new dr. (Another long story) We had the twins, then I came back for my yearly. Bad exam. Cervical cancer was trying to take hold.

So, due to my age Dr suggested that I either hurry up and have my last baby or go on with a hysterectomy.

BOOM! Sashi!

Still no hysterectomy, as the "Cervical Shaving" proceedure (Sounds FUN!) seems to have worked to get rif of the cells. New check up in May. No big worries.

But man, o man! I am sooo lucky to have my babies! Th twins were 29 week preemies. And right now, you would never know there was ever anything wrong with them. You want to talk drama, you should see their journal (In the days before BLOGS that's what we called them! hahaha) with all the photos, that kept me busy at night after I came home from the hospital each day. Whew!

Click the link, then pan down to "ONLINE JOURNAL"

Enjoy!

Back on topic, if I am clear this year of any problems, I still would rather get a hysterectomy done (now done in a day surgery setting) and just be done with it all. But good news! I get to keep my lazy ovaries!

 

OK. I deleted some messages, and then I'm told that I STILL have 40 more than what I saw. VERY confusing!!! So I finally figured out that, unbeknownst to me, there's a "Sent Mail" file. Everything PM I've sent since the beginning of time (or at least since the last time this happened and I don't remember, lol!) has been kept and has counted toward my total. I got rid of ALL of those, so now I'm down to like 10 or 12. So I should be up and running again!

I was talking about the picture page. I visited your MonsterMommy site; as much as I appreciated the way you are so "mean", I don't think I'd fit there at all. No offense; it just isn't me!

 

Jen, your children are just precious! I always wanted twins! However, I am kinda glad I didn't. I bet going to the grocery store was tough when they were babies. I always go with my one baby. lol.

 

Oh sweets, that's more than ok. I look at it like this... I like COke and you may like Dr pepper, byt neither of us is "Wrong" and neither one is "Better".

The site came about when noticing that all the parenting sites were so . . . Hapy to try to please everyone and therefore kinda bland. We were looking for something more bold.

So no worries. We are not tryingto please everyone, and so that's ok.

Thanks for your input though! Every bit helps!

Jen

 

I know I will get flack for this, but well I would not be me, if I did not make a bold smart butt statment...

When the twins were smaller, and if i was havnig a bad day, I would say, "Moms who have them one at a time are whimps!"

Then, as I aged, I met the women who have 8 10- 16 children... I think I am a whimp, for sure! hahaha!

(There's always someone who has it better or worse than you and always someone weaker or stronger.)
