Just curious

I would maybe have been 1 tick lower but I finally got some BCBC last night

We're in a good place. We had an awesome weekend together. We're starting to get into the swing of things out in the Midwest.

(not to be a buzz-kill) but do you know what you're going to do about the smoking once you have the baby?

H and I are doing great right now, which I have to say is pretty great when I think about all the stress that's been going on right now. We've been together almost 8 years I think now and things just keep getting better. Both being strong-willed, we had lots of disagreements early on and had to really work on communicating because we just grew up SO differently in that aspect, but we've always felt we complimented each other. We're very happy now

I can't vote. I'm really struggling with placing it. We have been in and out of a bad place several times in the last couple months. Today, things are good, but some things are lingering.

[dawnyp]

Things are good right now. We are both super stressed with work right now and some of that is spilling over into home mostly about what our future holds. We are seriously talking about 2 very major life events. We can't have both so it is a matter of deciding what is best for us.

[larzhope]

I've got no complaints. we are in the middle of a huge reno project which has the potential to be very stressful and every time I start to get annoyed or frustrated, he will say something that has me cracking up. I feel very lucky.

I'm incredibly lucky to have H. He has been consistently supportive over our six years together. Lately, he's really gotten into the holidays and starting traditions and all that. He knows it means a lot to me, but he seems like he's genuinely enjoying it. We have our ups and downs, but like PPs said, it would be boring if he were just perfect all the time. We are really happy together though.

DH smokes cigars and only outside (and in his car). He would NEVER smoke around a baby, or around me while pg and knows the car will be a no-no. But, I have made it clear I want him to quit ASAP. One, so there's no lingering smoke around, on his clothes or on the porch. And two, for his health. If we're starting a family he's in this for the long haul! He promises to quit, but it's always "tomorrow." He's quit before, but then started again when things were stessful at work. He can do it, he just needs to.

that's great, I hope it goes well!

[jennlin]

Could I be happier? Yes. With someone else? No. H is nowhere near perfect, but he's good-enough for me!! We've had some pretty rough patches lately, but I know that he's the only one I want to work through the patches with. Nobody else would be able to put up with me the way he does.

We've had our ups and downs. It seems like lately we have more downs than ups. Part of it is still lingering effects of Edmund's condition and part of it is our money struggles right now. We will get through this just like we have gotten through everything in the past.

[joenali]

We are pretty good. We go to counseling when things get rough, both him and I are pretty comepetitive about everything. We went to our counselor last week and he actually gives us things to work on and try out. After we do our visit things usually improve and we move on. I love the fact that we are both teachers and can comiserate with each other.

Interesting spread

[picksthemusic]

We're okay. Having M has certainly put us on the back burner. We do try to make time to BCBC, but since I've been on the pill, I never want to anymore. We are both stressed right now with the wedding and the holidays coming up, but for the most part we are very happy and still make each other laugh. I think we both would feel better if we had a house (we need more room), or if our current home were more organized/clean more often than not.

This. I hope he sees you being pregnant as an incentive to quit. You should not be around second or third hand (the smoke remnants left on clothing/cars/furniture) during pregnancy, and it's even worse for your baby.

At this very moment I'm very happy. DH got me a thoughtful birthday present, has been helpful with the baby at night to help me sleep more and took care of business last night when the power was out and we had a gas leak. I know I can count on him to take care of our family. He is a difficult person to be married to though. I don't know many others who could put up with him but he knows that at least which helps. He over reacts to everything and he's not very flexible so when one thing goes wrong he makes it 10 times worse by his over reaction. He's bossy and a know it all too. That's just part of his personality that I find annoying.
But he's super loving and affectionate. He appears to be even more attracted to me since I had the baby which I don't understand. Haha. He saw that baby come out of me. I didn't think he would ever be able to think of my vagina the same way but he says it was so amazing that he loves my body even more. When he says things like that I'm willing to forgive his personality flaws

Like I've said before, we're married to the same man. LOL

Let me know if she does. We're definitely thinking of moving to that area.
