HAPPY BELATED EASTER

Unfortunately they are the same amount of money here. We got ours from my mom though so our cost was $0! Can't beat that! You are right though, they are definitely worth the money, ours is the best dog I have ever met! Gentle, loving, great with the kids, and doesn't bark, at all!

My Holidays were great! The kids were very happy with everything they got! I hope yours were also good! As far as where I inject, I stick mainly to my stomach. My arms don't have enough "meat", my butt well that is a little awkward, but doable, if need be. My legs are okay, but it seems like no matter how hard I try I hit a vein, ouch! Sorry, don't know if I was much help!

No, sorry i have never had a tooth pulled. I am pretty lucky I have 3 of my wisdom teeth and so far there is enough room. Hopefully I won't have to ever get those pulled! I am pretty sure that the mouth is one of the fastest healing areas though! Sounds painful, good luck!

That picture with the Nike sandals is actually two summers ago, so my son doesn't fit in his anymore either! My insurance is through medicaid. Wisconsin is pretty easy to work with in getting insured. As long as your not rich, which we aren't!

Yeah there were a lot of tips in that article, hopefully some of them will be useful to you. I am fortunate because I am getting help from the state right now in paying for my supplies, otherwise I would be completely screwed! Is that your son's Halloween picture? My oldest son was a army guy and my youngest was Spiderman (although he kept wanting to rip it off!)

Kids are definitely something that makes life wonderful. I can't even begin to tell you how awesome it is to see the bond between our two boys. Here is some encouragement, I got pregnant with our second son after about 3 months of trying so I am sure that you will be rewarded soon! I hope you get another boy! Good luck with the insomnia. I have bouts of insomnia sometimes too. With me I will fall asleep early wake up around 1 am stay awake for a few hours and then pass back out for a few more. Nothing like being awake in the middle of the night when all that is on tv are infomercials!

Good luck on trying to have another baby! I am sorry to hear that it is taking awhile to get pregnant again, but trying can be fun too! :) How long have you been trying for, if you don't mind me asking? How old is your son? Write back when you get a chance, talk to you soon.
