Omg, I Need To Be A Little Engrossed In Cc....
Lounge By Annabakescakes Updated 24 Jul 2013 , 7:22pm by Annabakescakes
37 is not too old to have a baby...I had my daughter at 37 because I married at 35. My neighbor across the street is 47, she just had her 2nd child, but via IVF. I do think that's a bit too old...but she's happy!
I don't think 37 is too old for other people, it's just too old for me, especially since we have 6!! If we only had 1 or 2, we'd absolutely still be having babies!! :) Post more pictures of you and your kiddos, I love seeing the pictures!! :)

I have 4,600 pictures in my iphone, so believe me, this is me exercising restraint!
Let me know if you can see these, I don't know what the security settings are.
Pictures of my tribe :)

Oh my goodness, what a doll baby! She has a wise little face, you can see her thinking and the wheels turning in her little head. She looks like a "good" baby, as in, doesn't cry her brains out like my twins did...
Thanks so much. That she is...so was my son and now he's a teenage terror. So me and this little "angel" are going to learn to throw rocks and break car windows the minute she can walk. LOL! I might even teacher how to rob a bank!
They say the bad ones grow up quiet and the quiet ones grow up...well CRAZY!
Hopefully it won't take another 10 years to have anymore. If so, this may be our only one together. I had my son when we met. I too have arthritis and degenerative disk disease, so I want to be able to run around with my little ones, not roll *(remembers to put the wheel chair with the pink diamond wheels on layaway*. I know what you all mean about the little baby toes and snuggles. I can't seem to get enough. I already feel I've missed so much and she's only 3 months. She's growing like a wildfire. Doctor says she's very tall for her age, causing her to be almost to tall for her ExerSaucer before I will even get to take the fun pics of her really playing with her toys. Ugh!

Good lord, Anna, you are gorgeous! No wonder your kiddos are so beautiful!! Do they all have your eyes? HOw do you post from your phone??
Yes, they have my eyes! It is funny, because I have had 2 marriages and I had a whoops! between marriages, (my lovely and precious daughter) and their 3 fathers (yeah, yeah, yeah...) all have very different eyes. My ex had green eyes, my daughter's father has silver eyes, and my husband has chocolate brown eyes, and all 4 kids got my big blue eyes.
And thank you. I am 40 pounds heavier than my wedding photos, but I do think I looked lovely, I was so happy! I don't feel very pretty right now. My husband is a hotty, I think... He has LONG hair now, I'll post a pic when I find one... I mostly take pictures of the kids...
And I have been posting from my laptop, just from facebook. To post from your phone, you hit the little button in the reply box that looks like a mountain, and follow the prompts.
Me, and my bros, when we were little. My youngest one turned 30 on Saturday, so it is OLD! But you can see my kids have my eyes. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/6568_101318219879998_1234140_n.jpg
okay, here is one that shows my and my daughter's eyes together. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc3/199826_206738009338018_2933820_n.jpg

My daughter was so quiet and good, she went 2 and 3 days without crying a bit, all the time. Her record was 4 days, though. Now, she is so emotional we are lucky if she can go 4 hours without tearing up... She is a good girl, just stubborn and independent, and she thinks she is grown....just like her mama!

wowee! You are pretty! And your kids are gorgeous, the spitting image of the both of you, I can plainly see you are all related, and how the heck did you keep your figure after all those kids?? I am jealous! Your wrist looks downright DELICATE! Mine looks like there should be a ham hock attached to it.

They all go together don't they! ;) Cute little nuggets, even if I am biased. I was a runner, my hips have turned me into more of a jogger, just can't handle the impact anymore. I have to do some sort of exercise to work off all the sugar I eat from my gigantic sweet tooth, 'cuz cutting back just isn't an option.
ARead the whole thread, now I am really curious to see what everyone looks like.
AI had my tubes tied while they did the c-section with my second, the pregnancy was so tough that I knew I was done. I'm also one of six kids and while I know lots of large families are really happy, I had a miserable childhood with so many siblings to share very little with.
Here they are anyway, they're 9 and 3. [IMG]http://cakecentral.com/content/type/61/id/3056745/width/200/height/400[/IMG]
Anna you crack me up! I totally get who ever posted about the cockroaches though I can't stand those things. In texas they are huge but then I moved to the country and they have Wood Roaches even bigger and the flying about sends me into a panic. I don't do roaches! We spray religiously once a month in and out. Hate hate hate those things.
Anna you are beautiful thank you for sharing your pictures and your children are adorable. I really think you are being hard on yourself I think what ever weight you gained you could stand to gain. As in, you were skinny to begin with, you are just normal now..lol Besides if you are like me 3 years from now, you will think "Man I wish I looked like that again" the same pic you hated before..lol anyhow thanks for sharing the pictures were really fun

I am 33 and my husband will be 39 in a couple weeks, and i just don't want to be 40, taking my kid to kindergarten, no offense.... I am just a very old 33, with all my health problems. I see myself in a wheel chair at 45.
I will be 45 taking my youngest to kindergarten. My oldest is 25 and my youngest is 3. My grandson (5 in Nov) is even older than my son

And if you are good with that, I am happy for you. Seriously, no sarcasm ;-) I would love another child, I just can't do it. I am falling apart, I am tired, ALL THE TIME, I can go to bed at 10pm, and sleep the clock around, wake at 10 am and lay in bed until my bladder MAKES me get up at noon. Then I sit around until my husband is off work, and I quickly shower and have the kids straighten the house, and then I run around finishing up what they didn't do.... Just standing up makes my heart race, no kidding. My hair is thin, my butt is huge, I have a "monthly" twice a month and I am miserable, and I have everything to be thankful and happy for. I just have no energy. I would be devastated to have another child, I think it would kill me. But I would love it :-) How could I not?
I am actually going to a specialist next month, to see if he can do anything for me. I am having a weird 24 hour urinalysis, where I have like 7 little vials to fill and mail to Florida, lol, and I am getting a blood draw too. Hopefully there is a pill I can take to feel better, and I say that as a person who has had 3 c-sections and stopped taking the prescription for pain on day 2, each time. I broke my wrist and took a couple Tylenol, once. I get a migraine and try acupressure and a wet rag before I succumb to an Excedrin. I like complimentary medicine over pharmaceuticals any day. But I seriously feel like I am dying.

. That is who the specialist is, Body Logic MD, checking all that mess, thyroid, hormones... I have some deeply personal stuff going on too, I am not ashamed of it, it would just get flagged!
You know, my friend was just diagnosed with Lymes Disease. You might have them test for it also, she has a lot of joint pain and fatigue and they tested of all the "normal" stuff and it came back fine. Sorry to hear you are having a hard time. 
Bodylogic ran a bunch of tests for me when I was sick, some pretty cool stuff that nobody in Canada was doing, or at least nobody we could find in Canada. (That's where I was living at the time)
They didn't figure out the problem, but they eliminated a ton of options, which pretty much saved my life.

Thanks, six. You know, my cousin's wife just spent 2 months in a coma due to a tick bite, she needs rehab now, but she got to go home a couple weeks ago. She was already a bit "touched", and the Dr. said she is likely to be more...but she seams to be the same.
Did you figure out what it actually was, ever, scrum? I honestly don't care what is wrong with me, as long as I can get it fixed somehow! (obviously it would help to fix it if they knew what it was, I'm just saying ) They aren't cheap, but I am at my last straw. Regular Dr. says I am fine and prescribes antidepressants, but it isn't depression, I know the difference.
Anna, I wish you well soon. It wouldn't surprise me if your hormones and even electrolytes are out of wack, "monthly" twice a month is exhausting to any body. probably in the minority here but I thought turning 40 was great! No more "OMG" your turning 40 - like I was gong to croak the following week.
AAnna, I was really sick a couple of years ago. I was overweight (for me) and too tired to excercise, my hair was thin, my mood was terrible, arthritis was bad, skin was a mess, and on and on. It was one of those that progressed over time so I didn't realize how bad it was until it became unbearable. I would find any excuse to be alone and just cry my eyes out. I know what was wrong now; my vitamin B12 was really low, as was iron, vitamin D and some other stuff. Basically I was malnourished (and overweight at the same time!) because of undiagnosed celiac disease. I am now two years gluten-free, I self-inject vitamin B12 regularly and take oral supplements of some other vitamins and minerals and I feel so good. Really, really good. All this is just to say, hang in there! It can look really dark when you are deep in health problems, but once you figure out the problem you will get to be yourself again!
Anna I think you are still over board on the weight thing.
Remember the magazines are not what we are suppose to look like.
With your health that is awful. My best friend had horrible migraines and the same twice monthly. She found she needed to eat more often and she needed
more iron. You could try a supplement..you probably need it anyhow with all the aunt flow stuff anyhow.
I think this is so funny that we all have health issues..as I'm having and EEG done on Thursday-Saturday.
Been trying to figure out issues for a year now that have been going on for 4. Isn't it amazing how you know something is wrong and they do but they can't figure it out.
Drives me batty and I'm like you Anna I'm not a pill taker either. My second was a c-section and that can cause all kinds of problems I wasn't aware of.
I would go see an endocrinologist if I was you. I hope you feel better.

Thank you :-) It really is exhausting! I only accept a couple cakes each week, because I know I can't do anymore than that. I can barely do them!
