I know you are busy with work and school, but take the time to rest and relax as much as you can. A child is such a joy to have in your life! Take care of yourself and the little one.<p>Love,<p>Tigger

hey tigger!!! thanks for the wellwishes!! school and work are keeping me busy! i am planning on taking a break after 2nd semester to be with the baby, etc. then i will go back part time and should graduate by december 2003, i was only going to graduate in may 2003 if i stayed in the same program. i just know i want to be home with the baby, breast feed, etc and don't want the baby in daycare. we will find a way.<p>hope all is well with you and your family. i bet abby is getting big and beautiful as ever.<p>love, happy_girl

Happy Girl,
MY GOSH! I'm so happy for you! While it must be a little worrisome in the midst of school, I know you were looking forward to starting a family. You won't regret putting in time with your little one... they are only young once!<p>God bless and Happy Days!

Dear Sweet Happy Girl<p>This is the best news I have heard in a long time. I couldn't be more thrilled for you and your husband being blessed with such joy.<p>Happy, you are the sweetest thing in the world and you deserve this wonderful thing happening to you...it's your turn.<p>While Gem wants to know the details (haha) I think it is safe to say we all know how this happened; however, that being said, your child was conceived in love and is going to be brought into this world with loving parents, deeply committed to each other and in love. What greater blessing is there?<p>My love to you and Mr. Blissed Out...are we to "think pink" or "go blue"?<p>Warmly<p>Catnip =^^=

Oh, one more thing, Happy...I am so impressed that you are staying focused on school and determined to not let day care raise your child.<p>Any names considered yet???<p>Catnip =^^=

jenny--thanks for your support and advice. i have always wanted to be a stay at home mom, but i will have to go to school part time, and will always have to work at least part time because of the child support. but me and H will just have to work our schedules to where someone is always home. hope you are doing good!!<p>gemini--details???? like catnip said, the old fashioned way, ha ha. i am due in july of 2002, probably toward the end. i am having lots of nausea, all day long. no vomiting though, but sometimes i think if i threw up i would feel better. not sure though. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] i am seeing a nurse midwife and plan on having the baby at a birthing center. no chance for pain meds, so we will pray i can survive it!!!!! how are you???<p>catnip--you always make me smile. thanks for your sweet words. we are nervous parents to be, me more than H. i worry about it all. but we will get through it. you guys know we have been through the worst and i know we can make it through anything now. though OW is going to have a fit when she finds out...oh well.<p>we don't know what it is and are not going to find out. i like surprises. too much in this world is known before it happens, and i just want to wait and see what we have been blessed with. my kid will just have to wear white, mint green, yellow and other neutral colors for awhile. i doubt he/she will even care. or those little onesies with cute baby stuff on them. <p>i hate picking out names. haven't thought of many, though i have always been able to pick out girl names and not boy names. <p>hope you are doing okay catnip. you are in my prayers. and i know you are a strong woman. <p>will keep you all posted as to how things go!! i have a little over 8 months to try to get used to the fact that i will be a mommy. <p>love,<p>happygirl
