Hey Lucy! I'm home!

Hi everyone! I haven't been here for a while, but recognize a few faces.

I thought I'd post an introduction post since there are so many I don't
recognize, and can't wait to "meet" all of you.

I'm Victoria. I'm a 32 year old mother of two who lives in Ohio with my
patient and ever-suffering husband of 4 years. I found mkp while I was
pregnant with my first son, Craig, and stuck around until my second, Kurt,
was about 5 months old. Craig was born after a long difficult labor, nuchal
x1, and posterior. I took medication after the first 16 hours of hard
labor(!) and birthed him vaginally. He took 24 hours total! He had lower
apgars as a result of all that. Kurt was born after 7 total hours of labor,
unmedicated, posterior but not nuchal.

I just found out I'm pregnant with number three! Not only that, but that I'm
*10* weeks pregnant, and had no clue. And, this is my second pregnancy
where my husband has managed to get through whatever form of birth control
we try! Kurt came about while I was on the mini-pill and nursing, and this
one got here through condoms and foam!

Now that you know *entirely* too much about my personal history, how are you
today?

"Back in 2000 a Republican friend warned me that if I voted for Al Gore
and he won, the stock market would tank, we'd lose millions of jobs, and
our military would be totally overstretched. You know what? I did vote
for Gore, he did win, and I'll be damned if all those things didn't come
true!"

Wow, Victoria, let me be the first to congratulate you! When I saw your
post, I thought, "Victoria must be pregnant again; I didn't even know she
was trying." Well, apparently, you weren't g! Still, I'm sure your third
will be a welcome addition to your family (I see another boy, not that I'm
psychic Sophie or anything, LOL).

Now that you know *entirely* too much about my personal history,
how are you today?

Still not pregnant and not planning to be, but hanging out here nonetheless!

Thanks!

Heh, we most definitely weren't. We hadn't completely ruled out number 3,
but with everything else going on we were hoping to decide on whether or not
we wanted to go for number 3 two years down the road.

Sometimes I think there's a great cosmic joke going on about my reproductive
life. *Someone* has to be amused by all this!

Still, I'm sure your third
will be a welcome addition to your family (I see another boy, not that I'm
psychic Sophie or anything, LOL).

The third boy will definitely be a welcome addition (I see a boy too). Jay
thinks it's a girl, and so does my mom, because with both boys I was sick
from the moment of conception, and with this one I had no clue I was
pregnant, and no signs at all, for *10* weeks. It does flabbergast me, but
I'm not naive enough to think it means a girl.


Still not pregnant and not planning to be, but hanging out here
nonetheless!

Which is a good thing, because *everyone* can benefit from your wisdom and
your wit!

Welcome back, and congratulations!

We're all doing well. Having three has been a blast
for us, so enjoy the ride.

Thank you, Ericka, and it's so good to see you again! I've been trying to
keep up with people, but finding it too difficult outside of my current
stomping grounds.

Isn't it funny? Some of these kids just WANT to come into being, as far as I
can tell. My 4th (1 year old yesterday) managed to get herself conceived on
the 30th day of what had been very regular 30 day cycles....except that
month was not. Ah well, I bet you'll love this kiddo until you think your
heart will break....*later*.

Congrats! You sound very happy, which is nice. I'm happy for you.

Victoria, welcome back! How wonderful to see you here again. I'm
back too, 31 weeks along with our newest wee sprout baby. Wow 10 weeks
along -- it's like free pregnancy. Best wishes for a happy, healthy 30
remaining weeks. I'll add you to my list of "no back labor this time,
for the love of G-d!!" vibes.
