That's so sweet! I'll definitely check it out. LO will be three in January and luckily so far my friends are really good about remembering her birthday and Mother's Day. SO took me out for lunch this Mother's Day and got me flowers, and her parents send me cards on Mother's Day and on my birthday. We're going to see Nemo with them this weekend

getting your tubes tied!   What kind of birth control are you on? I wouldn't want to get my tubes tied (especially this young) because it changes the hormones in your body. I'm on Mirena and like it a lot. I was on Yasmin when I got pregnant with my son (he is 6 months old). You know all too well the feeling of being in an unwanted pregnancy.

Claire's first birthday was really hard on me. I cried a lot, my mom sent me a LB of chocolate from See's Candy, I cried some more. I was really upset because her family hadn't kept in contact with us like they promised. Her birthday is August 16th and I hadn't received an email from them since June. In the last email from them they said we could come out and see her for her birthday...but then didn't return an email after that until after her birthday. Things are weird like that sometimes. Needless to say, I didn't get to see her. I sent them an email on her birthday that said "I couldn't let this day pass without sending a note saying Happy Birthday Claire and Congrats to all of us for making it through a year. I love you all!
Kiss Claire for me
Emily"
I got this back
"So glad to hear from you! We thought about you alot today and are aware of how much pain you have gone through to bring us so much happiness.
Take care of yourself"
Claire's birth father and I were together until she was about 9 months old and then we broke up. My life got so hectic over the next few months that it was like I didn't even have time to think about her birthday but I was expecting something much different from her adoptive family that day.

Well shoot, maybe it would be a good decision for you. I really don't know anything about the depo shot, but I do know that I wouldn't want to be bleeding for that long. (I'm pretty sure that right there would make me depressed.) Oh, I have to ask. How old are you? do do do do do do do do do (Twilight Zone music playing)

You're a lot stronger than you give yourself credit!!! I admire your willingness to put your children's needs before your desires. YOU ARE AMAZING! Don't forget that!

Oh, wanted to let you know...I found out about this support group that is TONIGHT you can Skype in to it. I'm not sure where you live, but there are 3 different physical locations you can go to, or you can join on Skype. I haven't attended before, but I'm considering attending tonight. Check it out here http://bigtoughgirl.blogspot.com/2012/09/september-btg-support-group.html

That seems really cool! If I needed a group like that I'd totally join. That's awesome that they Skype their meetings.

Hi ladies! haven't been on in a while! We are doing great over here. Mary turned one on the 11th! We got to attend her birthday party and she is just so gorgeous. unfortunately, one of her dads got an offer for a job in los angeles and they will be moving there in January. So our visits will be fewer and far between   It hit dh and I like a ton of bricks but maybe we do need to start putting some space in between us. Idk. It hurts but there is nothing we can do.

That sucks lady   I'm sorry. But a good opportunity is a good opportunity and maybe you'll get to visit California one of these days! I would be devastated if LO's parents moved that far away though. I understand the hurt. I'm sorry
