Congrads! What a gorgeous name! It is very pretty :)

You must give us an entry on her birth when you find the time, heh. I know how that can be!

I'm so happy for you. How's Erin dealing with being the big sister? How's Ben? How are YOU?

¬hugs¬ 

Eva

Awww hun congratulations!!! What a cute name as well :D

Sounds like hard work lol, but good luck!

Love Violet xxxxxxx

Hi Grace,

I see that your last entry is awhile ago, so did you have your baby? Any updates. Its funny to countdowns with babies. I'm not doing it with this one inside me. Mainly because my first, was born at 38 weeks, normal, but small, i had pre-clamsia and high blood pressure with him. My second, was born at the end of my 35th week, premmie and tiny. But she did quite good, I think im about 31/32 weeks now. My due date is 9 october. So not long now. Most of the baby clothes i had for my son i picked things in unisex mainly, green, yellow, white, orange, red and similar colours so my daughter could where them too, as i knew i wanted more kids and wanted to keep most of the clothes because they were so nice clothes. Although he did have some boy clothes as my girl had dresses. So this time around i just need a bed and idly diapers everything else is covered from the other 2. So i hope all is well with you and your family.

Greetings Jessica

Only 5 weeks left! Coool!  Good to hear things are still going great for you all and especially with you and Ben. Erin is so cute, heheheee. Bet she's all excited about the new baby on its way! Aiden adores May, he's drawn a crazy amount of pictures for her and sticks them up on her wall. He's even told all his little friends about his new baby sister and he's so damn proud to be the BIG BROTHER. Hah, he's quite a character.

Take care!

Eva

Awww good luck hun! Not long left now...for some reason i have a feeling its going to be a girl :S

Take care, Violet xxx

Yahhh! Your baby will be here soon

May's a month and 2 days old now. I'm going to try to post a photo of her in my diary. Hope you and your baby are healthy and well! Keep us updated.

Eva

Wow school...that's mad. Time goes so quickly.

Good luck with the pregnancy, and in case you don't update for a while, hope the labour goes well and baby is healthy :D

Much love, Violet xxxx

I know how you feel I will be 33 weeks on Thursday. I am so tired of being pregnant now. I want it over with.

Ashley

7 weeks to go now ... not long at all.

We've almost made a final decision on the names. We have narrowed it down to three of each...but I'm not telling till I've had the baby :)

Can't wait to meet him or her now, amfed up of being pregnant. Feel huge and am really really big. Wasn't this big at 36 weeks with Erin but am only 33 :S hope that doesn't mean big baby!

Erin is fine, looking forward to her baby brother/sister and very much enjoying playgroup. We found out her school the other day and it was our first choice so we are pleased. I'll only have both Erin and the new baby at home together for around 2/3 weeks, then Erin will be at school. My baby, at school!!

Hope you're all OK

Married? WOW! Well I wish you all the best, Gracie. I had my little girl, May-Bell, already and will properly update her birth when I have two seconds to myself. :) Take care.

¬hugs¬

Eva

I find myself getting nervous about the birth of my baby girl. I have less then 12 weeks left. What are you having?

Ashley

I too am having a baby, i'm half way there, baby 3 for me, this time i wasnt so keen knowing if its a boy or a girl, but everyone thinks a boy, i dont really care aslong he or she is healthy and good looking lol. Either way he/she will have a big brother and big sister to play with. By the ultra sound baby has same nose as father and son, and same head shape of me and daughter. so its a bit of everyone.... lol

Good luck with it all. Would you be getting married this time around or is that a long way still off?

Greetings Jessica

Congrats, not long to go huh.

Yeah i know whats it like being heavily pregnant and having a little tyke running about, sometimes things that happened made her come a month early, but everything is good with my 2 none the less.

Zack was alot more active in my belly and i was more tired because he was using alot of my energy to produce him, with evy i hardly ever felt her and i wasnt so much tired, but she was stealing my looks, now she looks like mini me, some people end up calling her Jessica lol.

I wanted to name her Ava, its such a great name for a little girl, but hubby disagreed. So we came up with Evelynne, it kinda has the ring of Ava doesnt it?

Hope all goes well.

Greetings Jessica

Lol, wouldn't it be funny of we both had girls and ended up naming them Ava? Whatever your baby turns out to be, boy, girl, it doesn't matter as long as he/she is healthy.

Eva

Ben sounds like a good guy, real happy for you! Matt should have stepped up and helped to take care of Erin from the start. It takes more than sperm to become a real dad. He should grow up and realize that. Erin's very lucky to have you, you sound like such a wonderful, responsible person. Good on you, Gracie!

Eva

 gracie it's ash i can't believe ur going to have another babyb congrats. I got a computer now so i'll be able to updat more. take care and good luck.

~innocentbuttthuggirl aka ash

I love the name Malachai, but you already know that. The Linear Zoo's cute without being dull.

Take care

~hugs~

Eva

it's nice to hear from you. Thats great that you and ben are still together. Wow 4 years old! Mailee will be 4 in a month, time flies huh. I'm due with number 3 in december, can't believe it still. Things are ok over here, pretty stressful tho!

hi hun i was just wondering how you are doing?? I know how it is, i just got on here the other day after not updating since December! How is erin? Are you and Ben still together? How are YOU?

I'm doing ok. C and I broke up on Xmas, and i'm still really depressed about it... i really loved him. The girls are GREAT! They are growing so much and are such smart and loving little girls! Can you believe how big our girls are getting!? Remember when we were pregnant together with Erin and Mailee? My gosh... time flies. I just found out i'm expecting baby #3 too... it's a long story. Not the best timing and definatly unplanned, but that's life! Well take care of yourself, I hope you update sometime in the near future!

Hey Gracie,

 I AM GLAD THINGS ARE GOING GOOD FOR YOU. I CAN'T BELIEVE HOW FAST KIDS GROW!! SORRY IT'S BEEN SO LONG...I'VE UPDATED AND WILL TRY TO DO MORE OFTEN

~ASH

hey you..
i dont know if you remember me, but i was around during your pregnancy...and the matt thing..
im glad to hear that you are well, and im stunned that erin is going to be 3

time sure does fly

glad youre doing well! Today Mailee is 3! Can you believe how big our daughters are?? Gosh i remember when we both were pregnant at the same time...

lOls like i said in your guestbook thing on the site.. you have such an ADORABLE daughter.. hehe =) you're such a wonderful mom.. =) and i'm glad that you and Ben are doing good too.. take cares and hope to hear from you again soon! =)

lOls like i said in your guestbook thing on the site.. you have such an ADORABLE daughter.. hehe =) you're such a wonderful mom.. =) and i'm glad that you and Ben are doing good too.. take cares and hope to hear from you again soon! =)

hey,

i read some of your entries.  i had a baby when i was seven teen and now she'll be two in june so i know what you're going though.  it is so tough having a baby, working, going to school.  at least you have a little support from your baby's father.  i dont even have that.  so be strong girl! and  I am so glad you decided not to have another baby.  i'm sure you know how much work they are.  and yeah it is hard to realize they're growing up.  one minute they in your belly the next your dropping them off at day care.  mine cried her ass off for her whole first week.  its hard but they get used to it...better yet u'll get used to it.  soon they'll be going off to real school.  then you'll  really feel like your going crazy! 

Hey hun! Good luck with Erin and nursery school! =) sounds very fun!

I think that your belief is right about how Ben spends lots of time with you.. that could be a reason why she's so clingy to Ben. You haven't messed up at all at any moment in raising your daughter! She's happy because she has the love of you and you take care of her and protect her from all that you can! You sound like a strong woman and a wonderful mom! keep it up! Take cares!

just as long as she knows who her daddy is I would not worry about it too much.  I was determined to try and make my relationship work with my ex but it didnt happen.  My son has two dads.  he calls bobby (my husband) bobby and his dad dad.  every once in a while he will ask where his dad is and is refering to my husband.  but he knows who his dad is and just as long as you point out that matt is her dad then it will be ok.  as she gets older and if you are still with ben or who ever you are with dont be suprised if she call matt and who ever you are with dad.  just dont be like my sister and cunfuse the child by having her call all your boyfriend dad.  my nephew will call his dad daddy james and i dont think that is right at all.  and everyone my sister has been with she has him call them dad.  I think you if you just let her relize that matt is her dad meaning her real dad then everything will be ok if you need any more advice you can e-mail me at JLRJT110504@aol.com   jenn

hey could u send me a pic of ur angel?

ghetto_superstarr1092@yahoo.com

thanks really appreciated

hEy i thought I commented on this entry but i guess i was wrong -__-

good luck with the potty training thing =) hopefully she does it on her own soon! =) hehe she sounds like she's growing up quickly!

glad you also sorted things out with ben

thanks for the birthday wishes.. take cares!

tell him to back off and your not ready for another child, and that you haven't been together so long for such a baby commitment...

Hmm, I think this guy might have what I like to think of as "teenage girl syndrome"- he likes the idea of having a baby, thinks it might be cute, but really doesn't know how much work children are. Guys are also in the easier position, they can get up and leave quite easily when things become too hard, and so my suggestion would be not to even consider having a child with him yet, and tell him why. I'm sure you don't want to end up as a single mother of two, so wait until there is more stability in the relationship.

hEy! I hope things work out for you.. and i think you should tell Ben that you're not ready for it.. haha and lyk one of the other comments says.. if he wants him to have a baby.. tell HIM to have it.. lOls! tell him that it's not even that far along in the relationship to have another baby.. take carez!

Gracie

 Tell him if he wants a baby, that HE can have it............

Gracie,

I know both of my children are sick :( I hope Erin gets better.

~Ash

Gracie,

Hey girl I'm back FINALLY! Check out my diary sometime. Innocentbutathuggirl. Glad everyone is okay!

~Ash

Wow. It has been a long time since I have talked to you! And I can't believe how big erin is now. I've got pictures of her right after she was born. Wow... I can't believe I've been on this site for that long. So I have a lot of catching up to do. Is Matt behaving properly? I'm happy for you that you got a new boyfriend too! Congratulations! I really hope it works out for you! I'm glad you had a good christmas and I hope everything goes well for you in the new year!

Lots of Love,
