Oh goodness, another person for a personal doodle. Nikki I’m Steve . Welcome! John @kingranch2003 saw pictures I’ve been drawing and nicknamed me the doodler. If you peruse the threat you’ll see a bunch of them. So I guess you could call it a second hobby. Here’s a recent one

My kids are 2.5 years apart. We were aiming for 3-4 kids but it took us 3 years to get pregnant once we were ready and then waited a year and a half to start again and it took a year after that. He was a little intense on the energy levels so we decided 2 it was!

Also, my daughter was an emergency C-section two weeks late and my son was a semi-emergency C-section a month early. We didn't necessarily want another C-section.
Mine are 3.5 years apart and that was hard enough.
My daughter was like having 2 kids at once, luckily my youngest son Joe was easy peasy, but still a child that needed care and love.
I felt like we had 3 kids at the time lol šŸ˜†
My oldest son is 8 years older than my daughter and from marriage #1.
He was very easy until age 14,but really not very difficult at all.
Your girl sounds just like mine she was a handful still is ha even when it was just her it felt like two my son came an was a breeze so I thought it was a good idea to have a thirdšŸ˜…šŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøšŸ¤£My sons are just like that as well two little love bugs I wish I had a few years in between them all it is defiantly a game changer with another one.
 
Thank you !Im gonna try that. I’ve been getting a little better I think I made this like 4 days ago but I love this app everyone’s great here!
Glad you like it. I find it deficient still amd only use it to get notifications.
 
@kingranch2003 We don’t know how to say no to anything over here related to fish so we say you should totally do a freshwater planted tank! We had a bunch of planted tanks but one day it crashed an we have switched our interests more to saltwater and corals 🪸

Beautiful! I loved my Oscars back when I had them. They were almost like puppies! Freshwater is just soooo peaceful.
That’s what I call them my little puppies! They’re just so smart an it’s like they know what’s going on everytime I enter the room they’re ready for me to come feed a say hi
We have a bunch of freshwater stuff an fish since that’s how we started out Galaxy Aquatics

I loved my Oscar


















Especially when I finally got around to deep frying him and eating him! Stupid thing ate my female Electric Blue Johanni whole she was brooding a full mouth of $25+ babies.
Did he taste good i am curious
 
You know they sell chew toys that are less expensive than a new wallet, hat and caps right?
Yeah. Unfortunate she doesn't think those taste as good? Her chew toy was next to the pile of my wallet and hats.
 
JNCOs and Airwalks...... Now I'm missing high school šŸ˜”
I still wear Airwalks and my son pulled my Fubu and Boss jeans out of the garage the other day and started wearing them.
 
I don’t know for which you speak but I miss my bell bottoms. Jordache jeans were extremely popular when I was in middle school. Anyone wearing them had the look you wanted to know better. Maybe a handful of people on here remember that jingle?
Ummm... Jordache were girls jeans?

Hi Steve! Thank you! That’s really a good drawing I love to draw as well! Maybe we could talk more doodles!šŸŖøāœļø
 
Doesn’t have to a current one even. As long it’s corals I’m at tank yuu own or owned and you took the pic.
Woah... No more Bobby dinners for you sir!

Rock's tank is mostly LPS so he was being silly.
 
Sorry to hear that,that’s always very scary an I’m glad you have two little bundles of joy! I know how scary all that can be they tried on my first child I told them no an we just hoped for the best the other two went fairly smooth just lots of worries with the last one high risk so many dr’s! My two oldest are just under a year apart by two weeks.Lets just say party planning is not fun at that timešŸ¤¦šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļøI was so ready for more kids until the third one came.now i think im at that point as well we’re three an a bonus child is enough for me at the moment at least haha!
Not so little anymore. They're 19 and 16.

I for sure need to set it up on my laptop.but I’m always in my suv so I just have used the app so I don’t fall behind an I like talking to everyone I usually just talk to babies or fish so it’s nice🐠🤣

Lucky you no more poopie diapers! I think those are gonna be the death of me šŸ˜†
 
For the record, the deep fried Oscar was a joke. Almost became a reality but my wife said I had to try to give him away first.

Also, I love my wife and never tried to return her. But her parents wouldn't take her back if I tried so there is that...
