I started to learn German last week and I'm both excited and nervous because I find it very difficult. The funny thing is that my group is mostly kids (15-17yo) and I'm 31 but they don't it know yet lol
Britanee, congrats honey. That's great news  Wish I could get pregnant too.

We are moving out of our first home where both children are born and into the house of my husband's deceased grandparents. It's had a total renovation and we have to stop by my parents for a week or 4 until the house is finished. It's going to be a long month! Driving the last of our stuff as I type (I'm just a passenger). While our new house is going to be a fanastic place to raise the kids I think we will miss our crappy apartment where we brought both newborns home. Or perhaps it is just I who will be sentimental about it, my husband doesn't really do sentimental.

We bought a new house, moved in, and I am still unpacking almost six weeks later. I had my sisters kids every other two days while my mom worked because, she is on drugs. For nine weeks I have bought her kids food and diapers. Plus watched them with no payment. Instead of my mom not letting her be with the kids without supervision. She was letting my sister get them because, she's tired. I told her that if that was the case I would no longer keep them. I wasn't enabling my sister nor, was I allowing her kids to expose my children to her drug. It being on them then they come over here with it on their clothes. It's just a mess! So I deleted every single member of my family off my facebook page. Now my mother won't talk to me. My sister will never get help if everyone keeps doing everything for her. That's her problem instead of facing her problems. She has let everyone give and give to her until they are all gave out!
My page is here but, I do play games. I don't try to send out request but, it sometimes does it by itself. https://www.facebook.com/cindy.turner.501

Well, I'm 23 weeks with a little boy, but that's old news. I could be the third though.
Congrats, ladies! Harvest is our big thing around here right now! We have all the equipment out of the barns and ready to get to work, but it's been raining and is too wet. I am ready to get it going and get off the tractor before I get too big and uncomfortable, so hopefully soon!

Nothing really new, new with me ... I recently took on another position at work and am loving it (except for the crazy doctors wife, whom it the office manager and makes everything chaos). I got a raise in pay so that's not bad and I will get another raise at the end of November. I'm really struggling with what I want to do with my life right now. I know I need to go back to school and finish a degree but just do not know what I want to do!
Also, I am really struggling with realizing that I will be 30 in 2 YEARS! Where did the time go and where did my life go! I have set a new motto to do what I want and be crazy because I really won't get out of this life alive and I want memories whether they be crazy, mistakes or whatever! So yeah!

I never status update on Facebook so this is perfect! Nothing big at our house. Our soccer season finally started this past Saturday. I am coaching. I have finally been snookered into volunteering for soccer like the rest of my family. And my step-daughter might be moving up to our area. I have mixed feelings about this. Work is killing me but that is not news.
Congrats to Britanee, Gemma and Marla!

This has been so fun to read - and I want to comment on everyone's stuff but I'm afraid I'd get it all mixed up in my head and make the wrong people pregnant or something. So I'll just say, congrats to all with happy news, and big hugs to those in not so happy times.
I am the most boring person. I have nothing interesting going on in life - we're just running all over the place, all the time. And, I'm too chicken to ever friend request people on FB but I have no problem accepting them (I'm such a weirdo). So here's my FB if anyone desires to be in on the random. https://www.facebook.com/sara.espy

Lots of big things going on in people's lives. Congrats to those of you expecting, graduating, or moving. I hope everyone dealing with health or family issues has things turn around soon.
Nothing major happening here. We made it through another Sept. (It's the last month of the fiscal year for DH and the first month of school for me, so we're both crazy busy at work and putting in a lot of extra hours). All 3 kids are at the same schools as last year and doing fine. We're not in a good rhythm with work and family life...DH and I both feel busy all the time, and important things keep getting pushed aside for things that are more immediate. Not sure yet how we'll fix that, but I think figuring it out is going to be a big thing for us over the next few months (or years, though I hope not).

Yay for all the good news, and I hope things turn around for the not so good news.
Not much worth talking about for me... my kids go back to school tomorrow after two weeks holidays. That's about it.

Congrats on the preggies! I hope you're all feeling healthy!
Well, over here in Malaysia we're having haze problem for the past 3 weeks. It's at a dangerous level at my place (Cyberjaya). Not good. On another note (but still bad news), I've been fighting with constant cystic acne. I notice it's gotten worse since I stopped taking a certain med that I had to take for the past 5 years. It's an antidepressant under the SSRI category, which affect the brain's neuron (or so the pharma claimed). Another withdrawal effect I'm experiencing is brain zaps (electrics shock-like feels) at random times. I think it's like a very mild & short seizure, lasts for 1-2 seconds. I read that these withdrawal effects will last for a few months & I hope I won't die from them (especially the brain zaps)

Lets see big things....
Well first off, no pregnancy announcements here. lol! Art is going to be a whole one year old next month and I think he'll be walking soon. He has the general idea and motion down, but gives up and gets frustrated because it's so slow. I am knitting a lot more, but mostly because I have a hard time telling people no. Right now I'm trying to hurry and finish two bonnets for giveaways for my local babywearing chapter and a desperately needed sweater for Art. This was the last sweater picture, I've gotten part of one of the sleeves done since then.

It's nice to see how everyone is doing!!! So excited for all the ladies having babies! There is nothing sweeter!
Jennifer - congrats on almost being done with your degree. You are one hard working lady!!! Christine - When we moved from West Palm Beach (the house we brought both our kids home to) to Tampa we stayed with my parents for a month. We had a newborn (less than 1 month old) and a three year old. I have to say that it was a little strange at first, but it was so nice to have time together with parents. So just enjoy what you can out of it and the time will hopefully go by quickly! Sara - You crack me up girl! Trish - Can't believe Art will be 1 soon. That sweater is super cute! You have some mad skills. Zakirah - I hope you are feeling better soon, I'm sure the brain zaps are scary. Hope there are other things going on that will distract you while you wean off the medications. Mel - I hope healthy days and good news is ahead for both you and your mom. Kristi- I've never been alone for 5 days without a child or a husband in over 18 years. Enjoy every freakin' minute!!! Sorry if I missed anyone else!!!

If anyone wants to befriend me on FB I'm always open to scrappy friends!!! I do play games but try not to invite anyone else to play or deliberately post on my wall about them. https://www.facebook.com/juli.fish.3
My word has been crazy lately and I definitely can't post about it on FB. My step-dad (who to me is like my real dad) has been diagnosed with Melanoma. He was perfectly healthy and happy in mid-August. Then he started to have night sweats, and then back pain and just didn't feel right. He's declined rapidly in the last 4 weeks. He's been in the hospital 3-4 times and has lost 30 pounds. We just got the definitive diagnosis yesterday. Now we have to wait 7--10 days for a test to come back that will stage the cancer and determine the course of treatment. He's in the hospital right now and my mom has been there with him since Friday. It's been a long September with all of this, plus work is insane -working late 2-3 nights a week with no end in site. Can't talk about the cancer publicly because my step-dad wants to keep it quiet. So right now I'm hanging in there and trying to just focus on the good things in my life and help my mom the best I can. I could use some prayers for my step-dad- Ken.

Oh Juli, I'm sorry to hear about your step-Dad. That's gotta be so hard.
Zakirah, you just never seem to catch a break. Maybe a trip to New Zealand will help you relax start fresh. My home is always open Prayers and lots of love that the Doctors sort everything out for you.

I love all the happy news and the I am so sorry for the rough times others are having. My biggest thing is my boyfriend is living with us. We haven't made it official as we aren't sure we are ready, but he doesn't have another house to go to. lol Seems silly, but I have been single for a long time so it's a big step, but my son is loving having him here.

Woot! Woot! Congratulations to all the preggies and the wedding and for all the good things going on for everyone! :
I feel you all who feel a bit down. I hope you all get through the trials. Well, my uncle passed away on Saturday, I've been going to the wake and back to our house for 42km (x2) everyday after my DD's school; my nephew was admitted to the hospital on Monday, and I'm traveling there right after I get my daughter to school everyday; it's 2nd quarterly exam of my daughter this week so I'm making her a mock exam. And I hate driving...
