I’m thinking that if a secret settlement hasn’t been reached then the “church” has something that amounts to mutually assured destruction. In other words, if the “church” is really going down and it looked like it might, there is something that the “church” has on this scumbag that would land him in prison which if you think about it isn’t reallly surprising. He is a soulless man regardless. He probably does belong in jail.

What a nice story Jen.. After I added up the difference in the kids ages.. My hubby is from a family of 9 kids and he is the oldest and closest to the youngest.. It is funny how that works..

Yes.. I hope you can too Jenn.. xo baby

Aw Discus ate my reply! Lol – yes my oldest (then 17) was excited when I found out about my daughter, but my youngest (then 14)… NOT so much. Both dote on her and are incredible. When we were ALL surprised when I found out about I was pregnant w/my son – same respective reactions but both said “it better be a boy!” so both were excited to hear it was and both are amazing w/him too! Was worried whether they’d be close w/siblings so much younger, but they are amazingly so! (And neither wants kids till their 30’s now! Lol!!!) So hope I can make Howdycon and meet you in person Baby!!! It’ll be great to meet everyone!

Oh that’s so sweet Jen.. Always my babies too.. Always..

OMG .. It just dawned on me.. duh.. I bet your older boys adore their little brother.. but when you told them you were pregnant they were like.. ” Say What ?” hahaha

Aw! Yep he’s gotten super chubby. He came a month early and still was 6lbs 11oz and has caught up just fine. I had a colicky one (my 1st son) and you are SO right LOL he is definitely still squawky at 20! Both my older boys (20 & 17) are still super affectionate. Love that my “babies” are much bigger than I and still super huggers! They’re always our babies!

Be sure and let us know all the revelations you find there!

Mon Elle – I 2nd & 3rd what Baby & Daisy said. I have a young baby so I’m up and on here at all weird hours if you’re ever feeling off. I’ve also dealt w/my share of depression (post-Partum and regular) over the years and know how exhausting it gets (and also how one can turn inwards for fear of wearing out one’s friends… Been THERE a bunch!). I was just glad to see you posting again – I’ve often enjoyed watching Elle chase you all over other sites and the way you respond. You’re good peeps and I’d love to keep in touch! Xoxo

OOOOOOh.. I love mellow snugglers.. I had one… and the 2nd was colicky..What a difference. And to this day my snuggler is 48 and still a snuggler

and my colicky one is a squawker ..hahaha You are both blessed.. His cheeks looks like he is a healthy baby.. ( chubby cheeks.grandmas love to squeeze)

Thank you Baby! Yeah I’m in love – he’s such a mellow snuggler! 4 mos old now last week.

Thanks Jeny.. OMG.. that picture in your avi is absolutely precious.. just beautiful.. such a tender moment..
