I think it's wonderful, and actually the timing is pretty darn good. Tessa will be almost 2 when new baby get here and probably starting potty training, you will be all moved into new house and settled before you start getting 'big and uncomfortable', the wost of the pregnancy will be in the 'cooler' months, trust me you want that. Guess HP knew what he/she was doing. I am so happy for all 3 of you!!!!!!!!! Love and hugs,

hmmm, pray for a boy, you will regret having two girls only a few years apart in about, let's say, fifteen years from now
 But seriously, what great news bubblehead, I'm ecstatic for you two, and for Tessa, it's FASCINATING to watch how a 2 year old reacts to a new baby! lol Tessa will be coherent enough by then to semi-understand what's happening too! Congrats again ((((Bubblehead)))).

So we stopped by our friend's house yesterday, and Tess was outside playing with their kid- and decided to strip down naked and run around ...
So we had to take a pic for blackmail in 15 years  My kid is too funny...It was a really good weekend. We spent most of it w/ A's parents, but I got out on the boat for a bit with my brother and some old friends. My parents weren't there so I actually got to hang out in peace Had a sand volleyball tournament yesterday and tennis this morning. I didn't even manage to stay awake for the fireworks last night - Tess and I passed out early lol. His parents and sister were very excited about our news. I finally think I found a new service commitment yesterday- just kind of fell in my lap at my women's meeting yesterday morning. We have a group of women that plan a bunch of different activities mostly for people that are newly sober (at least they try give scholarships for activities for people with 1 or less years of recovery). I've gone to a bunch of them and helped plan some but now I guess I am taking a more active official role in all that. I'm excited about it - funny I was just complaining a bit to my sponsor in the last 2 weeks about feeling left out of the summer festivities of my friends and now I get to come up with stuff to do. Funny how things work out.Now its laundry, cleaning, and PACKING!! We get our new house in 12 days! Last edited by laurie6781; 07-08-2009 at 02:19 AM. Reason: Picture removed at Poster's request

Bubble-you ROCK!! 11 months....pretty awesome work, imho. I spose dh is going to bring you a rose today? Sweet! I remember my 1 yr mark (you will get there with flying colors!) and just how deeply appreciative I was of everyone who walks this path of sobriety. The road along the way was speckled with all kinds of 'reasons' to slip, but I knew that I would use all those reasons to stay away from the thing that sucked my life away. Yesterday, my dh's cousin passed away. He was 48, a chronic alcoholic and smoker. He went to the hospital about 2 weeks ago with severe stomach pains, his lung collapsed, he was put on life support and they found out he had cancer all over the place-mainly liver and lungs. The family went into cover-up mode and minimized the alcoholism, but I had a talk w/ my dh and we will be trying to help them all talk about his drinking (in a gentle way-just listening..). I was very serious with my fil yesterday about the subject, as there are too many deaths in the family and too many who are actively drinking. Dh and I will try to be examples by our behavior, and by our happiness sober! But for now, the pattern continues and hopefully, this will be a turning point for at least one drinker in the family...soon.
Bubble, I think about you when people talk about why they can't stop 'now' or ever. You stopped when everything was going nuts in your life and then you were pregnant and stayed the course. Yes, there were slips, but you prevailed and look at you now!!! I appreciate you sharing your journey here. I have learned so much from you and always look forward to the adorable pics. a has turned out to be quite a 'keeper' lol! I wanted to throw him in the dungeon a few times and I am so sorry for being judgmental about that (my mother bear energy gets pretty intense at times). Blessings on you and yours, dear one!!

Ack... .just found some oxy's when packing up stuff... not sure when I put them there... I got rid of them... but now I am feeling anxious but at the same time almost numb? I don't know what it is, my whole body is so tense and almost tingly... ok now I sound like a freak.
Not really looking forward to anymore of those surprises. I liked to hide things when I was using, so people wouldn't steal it from me... but then I'd sometimes forget where I put it..... real smart. At least the new house will be drug free

Thanks Vel and Laurie!
Hey Sandies! Quiet in here this morning. I just got to work from my first OB appointment - got my due date, Feb 27 I've been feeling pretty anxious about everything - its a big week with this appointment, court tomorrow for the adoption, and closing on the house on friday - it is all such good stuff - but I am feeling very scared about it all. I don't feel like I deserve any of it and I'm really trying to dispute that thought. Part of me wonders if I have just been moving to fast and I wish I could just step 5 giant steps back, but I guess its too late for all that now. I am happy about it all and I can't let my fear dictate my actions. I was up half the night thinking about it all - couldn't get my brain to shut off. My boss is gone on vacation the next two days so at least I get a break from her!
