Liz//Miomi Posted January 13, 2009 Share Posted January 13, 2009 Does it count if I'm a mum to my cat? o_O Unfortunately I don't ever see myself having a kid of my own (my own choice..) although I've thought about renting my womb out in order to know what it's like. I just don't want the after product... 10 kids? wow. Just wow. Well done you! Wellll, I am a mother of a sort. I had something bad happen in my past, and had gotten pregnant. But I am a LOVER of children, yet was 16 and not able to carry him on my own shoulders. I made sure to find a family to give him to, a WONDERFUL family in Texas, and I know he is safe. (That was an amazing experience to go through!!) This is him, his name is Brandon :) For ME, I would love to be able to help other couples that can't have kids, but that is a situation i would like to get into without having to go through what I went through when I was 16. But as you said, you want to 'rent out your womb', lol, I see what you mean and I agree that I would do it too. I think every woman who wants a child should be able to have the chance. I am 18, i've had a child, and given him a home. And in a way, I am a mother, and hope to have a large family as I grow old and grey. I don't know if this counts me into the forum, but I stopped by to say "LOVE YOU MOM". I do not live with my mother, but I love mothers. Wanted to spread the love : ) The world would be lost with out mothers. (Ack! I can't wait to have another child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judykm Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 Vena, Avery is ADORABLE! Enjoy it while he is still small. when he starts getting around... Whew! I ran all day. lol. Liz, I couldn't see his picture, it was blocked for me, but I am sure he is a sweet little boy and you did a very brave thing. At 18, you've got a whole future for your large family, and as I myself age and grey, I LOVE having my family and can't imagine choosing differently. I went to dinner last night with a friend i haven't seen since my wedding 24 years ago, and she has no kids and I feel for her, even if it was her choice. It's not an easy dicesion to make, having or NOT having kids. You are welcome to chat here, it hasn't been a very busy board though. Thanks for the LOVE YOU. I came a quarter around the world to visit my daughter, who is working in the USA to make college money, and then return to Israel where we live. I missed her too much. She has winter break starting tomorrow, so I am at her school playing on the computer waiting for her day to end. :- ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz//Miomi Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Thank you :) I couldn't handle living so far away from my family really. I think you do well taking that into your system... living all the way across the world like that. Lol I love to travel, mind, so it may be hard. I love my family but don't like being around them 24/7. But, I will say the younger members of my family I love to baby and love on and be around. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judykm Posted January 27, 2009 Author Share Posted January 27, 2009 I just got back from visiting my oldest daughter, who is in New Jersey (USA) for a year. It was super cold and great and I want to go back! Spent SO much money, which is so easy to do when you are on vacation, especially when the currency is different. My second oldest daughter is pregnant and due in 2 months, I wish I could have taken her to see her sister! Not that she would have gone, but it was a fun idea. Glad to be back, I missed my computer and family (hahaha. NOT in that order!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tam Posted January 27, 2009 Share Posted January 27, 2009 Hi everyone, Its lovely to hear all the mums talking in the forums. Im mum to a beautiful 10 month old girl that keeps me pretty busy. I cant wait to have a big family but im enjoying every day and not really in a rush. Judykm, it must be hard live so far away from your daughter, even if its only for a year.

didosmom Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 it must be hard live so far away from your daughter, even if its only for a year. Yes, that must be really tough. When I gave birth to my eldest son, Diego, I was still in the middle of my specialty training, which required me to be in the hospital for almost 36 hours at a time, with only 12 hours off. It was a crazy time, with me and my hubby both in the same program. We decided to let our son live with my in-laws and we would continue staying in our apartment right beside the hospital. However, we ended up going home to the baby almost daily (he was about 2 hours commute away) that our apartment was rarely being used. We decided to give up the place (within 2 weeks) and live with the in-laws since we had nobody to watch the baby when we were both at work. It was sooo tiring but it was worth it. I can't imagine living away from my kids ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janalseiya Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 wow I'm not a mom but I have to give you all Kudos in birthing and raising especially multiple babies. To the first poster 10 kids? I almost had a heart attack ahaha. Are they all biologically yours? I did have a mommy question though. How is it that you moms have that SENSOR? As soon as someone does something you KNOW about it... my mom FREAKS me out with all the things she's been telling me about my little sister.. it's down right creepy *shudders* P.S. Would a natural birth really be that painful? Sorry I just felt I could finally get a few of my questions answered ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judykm Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 Janal, thanks! I'm the one with 10. Only 8 are biologically related to me, and a pair of them are twins, so it's not THAT many pregnancies. Lol. DON'T have a heart attack! Mommy sensor: it sort of grows as your love grows. You don't have to be biologically related to have it. :-) I even had a friend who use to call whenever I was crying, so it's not just a mom thing. Besides: you have to recall that your mom was yours and your sister's ages already, so she remembers what that was like! A lot of stuff kids think we "see" is just stuff we did ourselves! (or wanted to do). I was MUCH wilder than my kids, so they all chose to be cool and easy. A nice break for me! Natural birth can be painful, but it's the best experience there is: the pain produces a baby! You are welcome to PM if you have any other questions. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janalseiya Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 haha I see how it is... I still don't know how you managed 10 * shakes head* I know my grandma was the oldest of 8 and with every generation the population multiplies I've lost track of names, I just want to tattoo names on their forehead or put a name tag on everyone at family get togethers. I'm envious of your twins. I'd like twin boys and then a girl sometime in the future ^_^ While I have been learning in the classroom environment I've noticed I'll turn around and KNOW something's going on that sensor that something isn't right just shrieks sometimes.

judykm Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 See? You have sensor too! :-) I love having twin boys. They are 18. We have a lot of twins in this generation of my family, all boys, and one of the oldest ones just had twin boy & girl. Broke the mold lol. I totally agree with the name tags. I think everyone should walk around with one on lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janalseiya Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 yup nametags would work, especially with identical twins who play pranks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judykm Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 Elaine, I just saw your note now. I sent a reply, but the page never loaded. Grrrr. Hi anyway! Catch you in a PM. Tam, It's VERY hard for me, thanks for that heartfelt comment. Luckily, she will be visiting in 2 months. She totally missed her sister's pregnancy, but God Willing there will be more. Did anyone see the news about the octuplets being born this week in the USA? WOW! Wow wow wow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
