Malani, you're pregnant!

I noticed something too...

MALANI YOU ARE PREGNANT!

Congratulations!did not know, so happy for you two guys! :)

I didn't want to hijack Beefy's lovely post so I started a new thread. Besides, Malani deserves her own thread for this.

WOW!!!!!

I just noticed it myself. Congratulations! I am so excited for you guys. Do you know the gender yet? Is it too soon?

Your daughter must be thrilled!

That's great news! Congratulations!

Yes I am.. my daughter is psyched, well we all are. As for the gender, that's a dilema, he doesn't want to know, I want to know. He thinks I won't be able to keep it a secret if I find out (he's probably right). So we will see how that goes. I know I am going to have to have amnio and they can tell me for sure.. so ughhhh.. I don't know what I am going to do.

I wanted to wait before saying anything for the first 3 months to be over, but he was too excited and told everyone at work and all his family :)

I just can't wait for all the tests to be done and me to relax and enjoy the pregnancy. Everyone want's a boy.. which probaby means it's a girl.. I would like to have one of each, but as long as he/she is healthy I don't really care.

We have a few dilemas, our house has 2 bedrooms and I have no insurance yet (which is stressing me out) but everything will work out fine I'm sure. I am just so happy that we are able to have a family together. I was terrified that because of my age it may not be possible.

Thanks for the good wishes :)

Wow!!! Congrats Malani.

Congrats!!!!;) :D

wishing you all the best!!!

You are right in that everything will fall into place. I just know it! You are such a strong, courageous, and kind-hearted woman, and now you are blessed with this teeny weeny addition to your beautiful family. Gosh, I have a big silly grin on my face right now even as I am typing this! :D

Congrats

Woohoo congrats!

:D :D :D

Mazel Tov!

So we have some many weddings and babies yay!!It always makes me smile :)

Malani, i dont think i could wait until the baby was born to know the gender, but definitely, i could not keep it for me if i knew it! :D

Mazel Tov!!!
we should have a virtual baby shower at some point!!!

Congrats!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

I'm so happy for you. :D

As to your question, I have two kids. Litical wants one, and I want one more, so after we get married, we will go for it. ;)

As for finding out the sex, I've gone both routes. Did NOT find out with my son and did with my daughter. It was a LOT more fun NOT finding out, and next time around, I will not want to know. The guessing games are a BLAST. :D

Thanks again. I am torn with knowing the sex. It's his first baby and he really wants it to be a surprise... I just wanna know.. I don't know why, other than I just do.

Hootie Hoo! Congradulations to you! Yes, MTAG babys and weddings make for many smiles these days! :)

Alanna

Congrats!!

CONGRATS!!!!!

Congratulations Malani!!! I'm so very happy for you.

I am so frustrated. I applied for insurance through the state, they are taking forever to process the application. The contact phone I have is always busy, I haven't been able to get through once.

None of the 20 doctor's offices I have called will accept the HMO once I do have it, so last week I called a clinic and the first appointment they have is for Nov. 9th. So I took the appoinment, but have still been calling doctors daily, noone will even let me come in and pay cash! It's ridiculous.

Last week he and I went and looked at wedding rings, we found some that we love and ordered them to be made. They will be ready this Friday, so on our drive home he said, why wait and first thing Monday morning we went and applied for our marriage lisence. :) I came home and looked for a wedding officiant, found a few in our area, he called them, then called me back and said, the rings will be ready friday, and we can get married saturday at 10 am. I spent all day yesterday with huge butterflies in my belly.

Although I have a 12 year old daughter (I was with her dad for 12 years) I have never felt ready to get married, there was always the "Am I doing the right thing?" lurking in the back of my mind. This time, it isn't there, I am so happy.. and nervous.. and I need to find a damn dress in 4 days.. ugh.

So I am re-calling all the doctors now, trying to get an appointment with the new health insurance.. I finally am making some headway thankfully, although they don't want to schedule the appoinment until I have the policy, but that will be next wednesday. By the time I finally have the appoinment it will probably be time for the ultrasound :) which I am really excited for. Hopefully he will change his mind about wanting to know the babies sex... cause I really want to know.

Whew.. I needed to rant.. thanks for reading..

WOO HOO! You're getting married! How exciting!!!!

I feel ya on the insurance process.:rolleyes: I hope you hear something back soon. I hate dealing with that shit. Or any aspect of the government. Things take forever and you have to fill out a bunch of forms and then wait for whenever they feel like getting back to you.:rolleyes: :mad:

Make sure to take pics and post them!!!

Wow!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

:eek: AWESOME!! Congrats!!

Wow, congrats Malani!!!! You've got a lot going on! Good luck with everything.

Last night I finally got a doctors appointment for next Tuesday! YEE HAW!!! The woman was really sweet and they were very understanding about my insurance card taking a couple of days.

Today I went dress hunting again and found THE PERFECT DRESS. It fit almost perfect, the just have to remove the pads in the chest.. my bra size has already increased a cup size or more.. lol. Luckily today is the day the seamstress will be in and I can pick up the dress tomorrow or friday.

We have to go pick up the marriage lisence tomorrow and the rings on friday. I already have perfect shoes for the dress. :)

I am so happy and excited, the only thing that could make the day better would be if my dad were to change his mind and come.

WOO HOO!!! Yay!!!!! Sounds like everything is coming together!:D

Why won't your dad come?? If my dad didn't come to my wedding... I would kill him. Seriously, is it the short notice or what?:confused:

Yes I called last night told him I was pregnant, that we were getting married Saturday. Everything. He lives 8 hours from me, but will be 2 hours away hunting with his buddies (they are arriving friday night). So I hoped that he would come and see us get married on Saturday. He said no. He emailed me and said that he is in shock and not mad.


My bf's dad is having a small dinner party for us on Nov 5. So I also asked him if he and his gf would come and bring my nana then, he said we'll see.

It really hurts, hopefully once the shock wears off alittle he will see that he is missing his one chance to see is daughter get married.

That sucks! I'm sorry! Why can't he put off the hunting trip?

I think he's lying about not being mad. It sounds like something my dad would do and would claim he wasn't mad.

He really should tell his buddies, "Hey, another time!" and get his ass in the car STAT. This is your first marriage!!!:(

He doesn't have to put off his trip.. he'll be there for over a week and where hi is going is only a couple hours from my house, so in actuality it is easier for him, he'd miss one morning of hunting, that's all.

But it has to be his choice, He obviously knew I was hurt last night or he wouldn't have emailed me today. I set myself up to be hurt because I always expect the best. It's ok though I'd rather live with disappointment then spend my life waiting for the bad to happen.

Did you tell him you wanted him there? I know that question sounds stupid, but did you say, "Dad, I need you there. I love you and want to share this day with my father."

You're right, it's his choice. I just hope he makes the right one. It could lead to resentment.

Has he not been approving of your relationship? Does he know your SO? Do you think perhaps he feels blown away by all of the news? I think my dad would be really angry if I said, "I'm pregnant and getting married in a couple of days!" He would feel like I left him out and that he didn't really matter. Do you think that's what's going on?

I really hope he shows up.

His email said he wasn't angry, he was in shock. Which I am sure is true. I explained everything (we didnt even know it would be this saturday until monday when we got an officiant).

I also told him I wanted him there, we'll see what happens.

And he has met my bf, he and his girlfriend helped us move here. He would never have done that had he not approved.

Also he was under the mistaken impression that I had returned to his area for work and not come to see him. I explained that I haven't been back at all and that I couldn't go and visit until after my third month, because I didn't want to risk having a miscarriage from the 8-10 hour drive (each way). I think he needs to let it soak in.

I think he needs to let it soak in.

You're probably right and only you know him best!;)

Maybe after the shock wears off he'll come to his senses. If not, well... I don't really know what to say to that.
