I'm so excited!!! I'm glad i found out now....time to go hit the garage sales! YAY! NOvi ROmi Marie is due the first week of august....will post pictures! @
Congrats! thats cool. My partner and I have one due at the same time. We decided to not find out it's sex till it's screaming!
I would like to remind everyone to abstain from having children until you are successfully married for a period of time. This world has beared enough single parent or absentee parent children to last for several years to come. Think people! This is just a friendly reminder and I am not pointing the finger at anyone in particular. Thank you.
@Jitter B I don't think that a marriage certificate is a guarantee for a succesful family. I have seen so many families, (almost all which I knew as a kid) that broke apart after about 15 years of mariage, and I thought they were good families. Real Commitment doesn't need a certificate, but a certificate without real commitment isn't worth anything.
ermmm.. heh. ya. and I would like to remind people to abstain from telling other people how to live their lives. I think the world has enough broken marriages and religious wars. My bonding with a woman though our child has heaps more meaning and longevity than a piece of paper. She will forever be the mother of my child. and I will forever be the father of her child. Can't divorce that.
Jitter B, you should think about your notion that being married makes a person a good father, mother, or lover. How does a certificate make someone a better parent? I am not married, and am due to have a baby later this year, are you trying to say that I will not be a good mother or my partner will not be a good father? What a rediculous idea! I am not opposed to marriage, but am opposed to people who think it will solve the worlds problems!
the ultrasound lady said she's doin great...perfectly heatlhy...weighs 3 lbs already!! holy shit! she's kickin alot too. i also like Nova Roma Marie. Nova meaning "new" in latin...and Roma referring to the Romani, and Marie being my middle name before i was adopted and had my name changed... the father? he FLIPPED!! actually, he didn't want to find out and when it slipped from my mouth (i didn't mean to!) He was so confused...Should I be pissed cause i involuntarily found out or happy as hell cause i always wanted a girl??? He's so funn-e sometimes. anyway...i will try to get to my parents scanner to post ultrasound pics...you can really see her face pretty well. she's got Chubby cheeks and my butt-nose and dj's wide mouth...i wonder whose eyes she'll have. hmmm. @
Okay, I have three children and although I am married and have been with my husband for 9 years, I have to disagree with your statement due to my personal childhood experience while growing up. My parents were married. Fifteen years. And all I can remember was it being absolute hell. The fighting, the screaming, the abuse, all of which has affected me to this day. Finally, after being told by my pediatrician how negatively I was being affected emotionally, my mother realized how detrimental her marriage was, how much is was negatively affecting my sister and I. She had been sticking it out with concern for us, feeling she was doing the right thing by staying with my father despite how unhappy she was, yet she is told that basically, we were suffering. Not long after, my mother filed for a divorce. Children need LOVE to feel secure, they need peace in their lives to feel secure. It doesn't matter if the parents are married or not because if the parents are married simply because of the kids and there is no real love there, those kids will sense it, and it can backfire, causing even more damage to the children. Love is what matters.
Congrats!!! All this excitement about havin' babies is making me want to have another one. I'm happy for you!!!
