Ongoing Alaska Chat, new for October! - Page 5

Yes, Karen, you remember right. You left under the first sticky snow, and I birthed him outside under that selfsame snow...Seems like it just happened, but it's been FIVE years.

I so want another baby. I love pregnancy, all of it. I love birthing, the empowering feeling, the fear, the overcoming...

But I was watching another mom friend of mine at karate. She was babysitting a 1yo (who had a cast on his leg!), and his energy drained me just watching him.

Little bitty lima-bean babies...YES! Energetic, freakishly accident-prone toddlers, NO!



I hope we see you up here soon. I'm about ready to run away (run away!) because I'm just burned out. :/ Crap.

Maybe I'll run away to your place!

love, p

Just wanted to pop in and say hello Alaskanites!
How's the Wasilla Target? I checked out Anch's Target and wasn't too impressed. Which is weird because I LOVE me some Target.

Why don't we all just run away for awhile? I could really use a good week with no one needing me for anything.

Haven't been in. From what I've gathered, it's not really all that great except for the fact that it's somewhere new.

It's Target...nothing different from the Targets anywhere else. I still like it though

And is anyone else enjoying the snow today? I missed out on it yesterday since it snowed out here but not in Anchorage and I had to run errands today.

And Happy Birthday to your dd icequeen(sorry I don't know names yet)

I had never been to a Target in my life until the Anchorage one opened up..

I wasn't that impressed EXCEPT that they had hired a lot of my former and current students!

Oh goodness! I hope we don't see a negative temp for another month. My Southern mind can't wrap itself around the idea of negatives in October. lol Although my body seems to have acclimated fairly well to Alaska weather. I'm really going to miss it next year when we move.

Think I'm actually going to put my stuff on this afternoon and go romp in the snow with the kids and dog. Dog loves a good snowball fight.

Ok. I will chime in, haven't posted her much recently..

dp and I have decided to have ONE MORE GO..

after four boys (three bio), we have decided to give it one more try for a girl and then throw in the towel..

Any good Alaskan tricks? (I have the choosing your baby book).

I still have to have my IUD removed, so I think we might start this spring.. Kinda trying to time 1) for a girl and 2) to coincide with the school year so I can have lots of at home time with baby...

Have you researched the Shettle's Method? I used it with both of mine and got what I wanted.

No ideas, but good vibes. Shortly before we left Virginia, we knew roughly 13 couples who were having babies, 3 of whom had 3 boys and wanted a girl and they all did. So, good vibes sent out for you. It can happen.

Hey Alaskanteach, you have the Shettles book then? We're going to give it a try. My best friends sister tried it and is pregnant right now with a boy after 4 girls! Worth a shot.

And if you don't have the book, you can learn the basic premise online.
