Natalie(Ethan&Ella's mom)

what are things you kids say that made you laugh? things that made you cry? things that made you think what the heck are they talking about?!

for me;

made me laugh: when we went shopping Ethan wanted a toy and Matt told him no, that he only brought enough money for stuff we need. Ethan said "is it because mommy holds the purse and dont let you see the money?

made me cry: "mommy, who does pawpaw hate daddy?"(my dad doesnt really like my husband and it made me sad that Ethan was picking up on that.

made me wonder what he was talking about: "if a wolf cut off my leg tonight, i would have to hop, but if a duck bit off my tow, i would just walk weird."

so, what are some famous quotes your kids say

if my dad refuses to see my newborn unless my husband isnt in the room then should i just not allow him to see Ella? ok well i first got pregnant at 16. my dad got really mad and he wouldnt let me out the house and he wouldnt let me see matt for my whole pregnancy(my then boyfriend, now husband). Matt wasnt even there for the birth of our son because my dad wouldnt let me call him. he was really angry at Matt even though i kept trying to tell him it was my fault too. anyway, Matt and I got married about 9 months ago,and my step mom had to practically drag my dad to the wedding. i just had a baby girl today. My dad and step mom came over to see us, and my step mom came in to see my baby, but my dad refused to do so if matt was in the room. I love my dad and I love Matt, and i just want them to get along. Ethan(my son) is now two. isnt it about time my dad gets over it??

i dont think i should have to kick my husband out of the room just because my dad cant grow up and forgive Matt.

a sling like this http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId... what do you think of it? would you recommend it ?

i just dont want to. i breastfed Ethan and it was just really inconveniant and i dont want to go through all that with Ella. is that being to selfish? i dont really want to breastfeed...but i dont know. is there really a big difference between breastfed and formula fed babies? is it "unfair" to Ella that i breastfed her brother but not her?if i do decide to formula feed, what is a good brand that you can recommend?

if any one saw the other question posted by my sister on my account, i would like to apologize.

Sorry, Yall i really am. Elizabeth is my 11 year old half sister. i am really angry about this photo so please don't be mad at me . to clear things up, i am 19, that is my husband. we were at a friends house and we fell asleep so my friend took a picture and i thought it was cute. that's it, just a simple picture of us sleeping. im sorry if it offended anybody and i am really embarrassed by this so please don't be mad at me.

if you didnt see it, then dont worrry about it, but if you did i am sorry. if you DID see it, please dont be mad at me. i wasnt very happy. do you think she should be punished? what punishment should she have?

my ex boyfriend, lets call him brandon, out of the blue is now trying to say that he is the father of my two year old, Ethan. i had ethan when i was 16. This is absolutely not true, i never even slept with Brandon. i dated him for a long time right before i got together with Matt(husband). Matt is the only person i have ever slept with. i know Matt doesnt believe him, but it makes me mad that Brandon would make up lies like this. Brandon actually almost told my son that he really was his dad, but i stopped him just in time. why is he trying to ruin the relationship i have with Matt and also ruin this for my son? He is not the dad and he knows it, and Matt knows it and I know it, and it makes me so angry that he would lie about this. i am 19, by the way. if this doesnt make it any better, Matt's a triplet, and one of his sisters is now dating Brandon. Brandon and Matt's sister dont believe that Matt is Ethans dad and it makes me so angry they would lie about this. what should i do?im 19

well, my husband has been planning to take Ethan to watch fireworks today as we thought i would still be on bedrest, but then Ella came. i keep telling him he should still go, but he just wants to stay at the hospital with me. i guess thats nice, but really i will be fine by myself,and my family and friends will be there and i just think it would be a special thing for him and Ethan to do, especially since we wont have as much time as we did before with a new baby and everything. should i just try to convince him to go, or should i get a friend or somebody to take Ethan?

well, She's Here!!! Ella was born around 5.18 this morning weighin 5lbs 60z. she is 19 inches long. I went all natural after having an epidural the first time when Ethan was born. Oh and at the last minute i decided to name her Ella Cate instead of Ella Catherine. Ethan loves his new sister. heres a picture of her!!http://flickr.com/photos/27699947@N07/2636582466/ i decided to bring the bow just incase she was born with some hair. i had two baby neices born in the past year and one was bald and one had a head full of hair, and Ethan wasnt exactly bald at his birth...but wow she had a headfull of hair!! so..what do you think??

well, earlier in the week i had some problems with pre-term labor and was put on bedrest. well, it looks like i just went into labor again, and my water broke this time! i am on my way to the hospital and the doctor said if Ella is atleas 5 pounds and born with no complications, she may get to come home right away!! i guess i might have my little 4th of july fire cracker! which me luck and i will update later

my 17 year old sister just told me today that two years ago, when i was 16, she walked in on me and my boyfriend having sex. she would have been 14 then. gosh i feel bad and stupid and embarrased now. i know when i was 14 i wouldnt have wanted to see my older sister doing stuff with her boyfriend. what do i say to her about this? obviously it has been bothering her if she told me now, i mean, why mention it it's been two years?god i feel so stupid now. what do i say to her? do you think i should tell my husband that she saw us(my then boyfriend,now hubby) i wouldnt say anything, but i think it has been bothering her are else she wouldnt have mentionedit righ..? ugh, i feel so stupid now.

my step mom insists on being in the delivery room for my second child just because she was there for my first. not really my top choice, but my mom died when i was young, i didnt want my dad, and my dad wouldnt let my now husband then boyfriend because he was angry he got me pregnant. we were 16. now that i am pregnant again, my step mom feels she should be the one in there, since she was there for the birth of Ethan. but i just want it to be me and my husband, especially because my husband wasnt allowed in their for the birth of Ethan. i told her this, but she persists. what can i do to make her realize?

ok well i first got pregnant at 16. my dad got really mad and he wouldnt let me out the house and he wouldnt let me see matt for my whole pregnancy(my then boyfrien, now husband). Matt wasnt even there for the birth of our son because my dad wouldnt let me call him. he was really angry at Matt even though i kept trying to tell him it was my fault too. anyway, Matt and I got married about 9 months ago,and my step mom had to practically drag my dad to the wedding. i am 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. My dad and step mom came over to see me today, and even though my dad has gotten better, i can still see the hate he has towards husband. I love my dad and I love Matt, and i just want them to get along. Ethan(my son) is now two. isnt it about time my dad gets over it??

if my husband is a triplet and my dad was a twin, what are the chancesof my husband and i having multiples? i was just curious. i already have a two year old son and i am 35 weeks with a baby girl, but if we were to get pregnant again, what would be the chances of us having multiples?

as i am on bedrest, i figured now would be a good time to order and address birth announcements because when th baby comes that will be the last thing on my mind. which ones are your favorites?

my son has a loose tooth and he is only two! is this normal? i dont remember loosing my first tooth till i was about 5. what should i do? how old was your child when they first lost their tooth?

if i were to go into labor at anywheres from 34 to 35 weeks what do you think would happen? how long do you think the baby would have to be in the hospital? i went into labor at 34 weeks a couple of days ago and they were able to stop it. they sent me home on complete bed rest, but i am so scared that i might go into labor again. do you think they would stop it a second time or just let the baby be born? if the allow the baby to be born how long would she have to stay in the hospital if she is born with no difficulties? i know no one on here can give me exact answers, but just tell me what you would think?

i'm 34 weeks and i have been put on complete bed rest until the baby is born. which means i am not allowed to have sex. i know this is best for my baby and i know my husband understands,but i just feel bad for him. and then, i cant really have sex after the baby is born for 6 weeks, so thats 12 weeks without having sex. it pretty much sucks. i just feel bad for my husband. i also feel bad for my two year old son because i cant really be there for him like i used to be. how can i make my husband...and ME, feel better about this?

would you trust your husband to go away for a weekend with your two year old? my husband had a fishing tournament in a different state and he decided to take my son for the weekend to go with him(this was a couple of weekends ago.) so they left and all my sisters came in to visit. i have seven sisters, all live in louisiana, and i live in florida. so Matt(my husband) and Ethan(my son) went away for the weekend. they slept at a hotel. during the day they would go fishing, and in the afternoon they would go to a movie or something. i was telling my friend about this and she said " you would let your two year old go away with your husband for a whole weekend? without you?" i thought well why not? i mean, i love Matt dearly and i trust him and i know he loves his son. he's a good dad, so why wouldnt anybody trust their husband to be alone with their son for 2-3 days? and if you DONT trust your husband enough to let him be alone with your kid, then maybe you shouldnt be married to him?

and we have been having my sons birthday party planned. he is two and it was supposed to be this saturday. we were going to have family and friends over for a bar b que and then swim in our backyard (we have a pool) but then i got put on bedrest. i guess while i'm on bedrest i can make the invitations, and i'm sure my husband can do just fine without me, and there will be other adults there, but i feel so bad i wont be able to go to my sons birthday party :( and also, i know peopleare going to want to come in my room to see me and stuff, but i'm just not up to that. so what can i do about his birthday, and what can i do about the guest that come that want to see me(these will probably mostly be family) but i just dont want to see all those people at one time.
