hahaha and grrrrr.

I have fought the good fight, introducing a western fertility doctor to a chinese fertility specialist 2 years prior, had longish consults and knowledge-sharing, and she was 'prepped' about 2 weeks after hitting dirt here.

If I dinna do the prior work, it would be yet another slog in the 'this is how we do it here in America' subject - I'm just happy for the two years of prior work with these medicos. The planets aligned and I THINK things are growing. Will know more at the end o next week. Oh, and it wasn't any artificial insemination, so don't go there. If you even vaguely remember my scant posts the first week, i did mention we were busy with fertility stuff. You know, you remember - we're busy and I canna get to a keyboard. Or I'm exhausted and I canna get to a keyboard.

we thought you were talkin bout your manure stuff.....

OK...stop talking about this. Keep your mouth shut. Really. Don't talk about it......

Ya, I really not want to jinx it. Still, there be physical manifestations of being pregnant, so I'm happy. Will have more to talk about next week.

What news of ICE fishing today at the river?

poll question: did you all always want to have kids, or did your views change after marriage/after a certain age or point in your life?

I always loved kids.

I was always too busy to slow down to have a family.

I grew up a little too fast.

Now I love being a kid with my kid.

And she loves being a kid.

[Darnell 8,479]

for us, we always talked of having daughters. My son is grown, she's childless. Sure, it's fun raising kids when yer a geezer, but still, it's what we wanted to do. My work had me travelling till I sold off two companies, so we planned , meticulously planned, her pond jump.

so well-intentioned... http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/485591-small-mistake-on-g-325a-example-form-for-a

neither jonas nor i see ourselves with kids in our future. maybe we'll change our minds someday but right now i can't see that happening. i do like to cuddle other people's babies though...happy to babysit anytime.

Just rent Dr. Zhivago and watch that

Now I gotta go fishing.....

Here's J's house in the Czech SSR......

Oh good. I always wanted twins (2 birds with one stone )

Best of luck!

furthermore, advise all future geezers to stay away from China women, because they're all scammers

Professor, Juna stay away from dang gui if trying for child!

Or use heavily if trying to get rid of a child. I did research before giving that to my wife. Appears to have done a decent job through the first cycle. Wife doesn't want a kid until we make a trip back, because a child would certainly push off a return visit. Or maybe she's just planning to dump me when we go visit, and doesn't want to be stuck as a single mother in the Philippines? I told her if she tries that, I'd marry her sister and bring her here though

dang gui is birth control?

I think that view changes for most people. It's instinct. It's what we do...

dang gui is birth control?

No, it thins the blood a bit. I'm not an herbalist. But I know it's not for women trying to get pregnant, or is pregnant.

But highly recommended 1 month after giving birth.

I had always wanted to adopt children...in fact, if i had a lot of money (I thought) I would adopt like 10 kids (all different ages) all from

different countries and we would have a big house and yah.

Having my own ? That always felt like a huge risk and responsibility...always worried that I will bring my fears and hang

ups onto my children so I was leaning towards the no side and then I met my hubs and decided to lean all the way to

no side since his issues and my issues combined would land a child in a nut house and adopting he wouldnt since he cannot love the kids as his own and money aside...or lack thereof.
