you should be fine as long as you haven't opened the package. Good luck!!

Good! I'll try to do the exchange in the morning. Haven't opened it, so hopefully it will be ok.

 

[Glynis]

I think there would be no trouble if you are just exchanging for the same item in a different format (if it is unopened of course)!

Yup! Unopened. I'll do the exchange in the morning.

I'd check to make sure they had the wide screen. Take it to CS and tell them you don't have your reciept and picked up the wrong version. They'll give you a gift card the go pick up the one you need.

Cool! Thanks!

You make my head hurt

I am so glad I am not the only one

Glad to hear all is going well with you & the 2 little ones

Hi all! I just got back from another Level II ultrasound -- everything looked good! The girls are measuring right at the appropriate weight for gestation (and we obviously know our dates are 100% correct).... so now I can stop worrying that I've gained very little weight, and just focus on steady gain going forward, the best I can!

Great pictures Jen!

Excellent news!!! How much do they say the babies are weighing now? When I went in for my C-section, they told me that based on measurements, the girls weighed about 3 pounds each. I was so depressed because it meant they'd have to stay in the hospital when I went home. However, when they were born, Leslie weighed 5 pounds 2 ounces, and Mary weighed 5 pounds 8 ounces.

Baby A is approximated at 1 pound, 6 ounces. Baby B is close behind (yay!) at 1 pound 5 ounces. I'm told in a twin pregnancy, a good average is 1.25-1.5 pounds between weeks 23 and 24. I'm 23w4d, so that seems just fine to me (1.38 and 1.31 pounds)! I'm sure they'll taper off a bit going forward, because they have so little room in my non-existent torso. Still, already bigger than many babies I took care of in the RCNIC.... and I plan on trying to keep them in at least a bit longer!

Thank you all for the comments & prayers about Olivia. I do have good news! The Dr's say they cannot find anything wrong with her & her kidneys are functioning just fine

She is a fighter! Now I am really looking forward to my May trip so I can do some shopping

I hate the Disney website!! When I switched from Pop to the Boardwalk they kept the reservation number the same. When I went to check on the site to see the reservation..it says "cancelled"! I called CRO & they have the ressie & even emailed me a copy. So it's there & the have my file but they can't get it to come up on their website for me to see. I asked for a paper copy to be mailed to me.

I requested Epcot view so maybe was can see SSE from our room. How cool would that be? I am soooooo excited!!!!!!! I think they need to shoot one of those elephant tranqulizers at me right now!

How petrified you must have been when you saw your ressie was canceled! I'm glad it's still there.

 

[Tammi67]

I tried to explain he shouldn't have his mouth open too much....eeww!

Bleh!

That's terrific! Oh yeah, shopping for Olivia in WDW is going to be FUN!

Jen - great pictures!

Elizabeth - I can't believe you switched from BC!

Lindsay - good to have you back.

Jennifer - I'm glad the babies are growing steadily.

I have heard of Mystic Tan, but never tried it. I have used the tanning lotion & it looks pretty good. But after a while I get tired of using it.

I love Mystic Tan. I just did it Friday before going to Great Wolf Lodge. It works well for me -- even and a nice color for me. I also use a lotion if I'm on vacation over a few days so I can keep the color.

For any of you Weight Watcher's people...have you tried the All-Bran Crackers by Kellogg's? I bought a box of the garlic Herb and they are delicious. 18 crackers is only 2 points. I always love when we find something low point and yummy.

I'll have to do that. Thanks for the suggestion. After the long weekend of buffets...I'm scared to get back on the scale. Those 6 pounds are probably a few more... I'm trying to decide which day works best this week to re-enroll at WW and do this more officially, since I haven't been doing very well on my own.

Earlier this week I happened to check the Delta site and our flight itinerary for the September/October trip. Imagine my surprise (and horror!) to discover that our 12:30 flight hand been canceled and we were rescheduled for one that leaves Richmond at 3:30 instead. I had booked my flight with SkyMiles and Bob's with cash. There would have been almost no reason to go to WDW that day at all, since this is a somewhat abbreviated trip.

So, armed with great info from our resident AAA travel agent I called the SkyMiles people on Friday morning. Not only was Ms. Klein understanding, but she told me that since they had changed the schedule I could have any flight I wanted, including ones that were not previously available with the number of SkyMiles I had to work with!

So, we are now scheduled to leave Richmond at 7:15 in the morning and it is a nonstop flight that will allow us practically a half day more than what we had before.

I realized that this now means we will have to eat another meal at WDW.........................................

Yahoo! Great news on extra WDW time!

Hello, DDA!

It's been a very strange week. I have started to post several times, but I keep erasing it. The short story is that my co-teacher's father died as the result of a work accident. I am taking it much harder than I think I should be. He was only 58 years old.

I am getting ready to head out to Albany with dd for the weekend for a synchronized swim meet. The "boys" will be on their own.

I have been reading along and thinking of the and and along the way.

I made a couple of designs yesterday which helped keep me distracted.

"See" you all Monday. Have a great weekend, DDA!

I'm so sorry! Prayers to you and to his family.

Hello folks....

just popping in to say "hi"

Hi Kristine! I love visiting the Atlantis resort in the Bahamas. Randy doesn't swim either (his parents never taught any of their children) but he doesn't find it scary. (He's tried taking lessons, and I think he could save himself if he needed to, but not sure if he could save anyone else...) Since it's a short cruise it might be fun to not do much and enjoy the ship while it's quite and not as crowded. Let me know what questions you have -- I'm happy to help. (and anyone else, too!)

I'm off to Lansing today. This is going to be a crazy week again. I drive to Lansing today. Luckily, one of my staff is coming down with me. There will be two of them down there but only one is riding with me (they wanted to have another car down there). We come back sometime on Thursday.

Very early Friday morning, Becky & I will be heading back downstate. Becky's boyfriend is going to pick her up in Lansing. They are heading to his house for the week-end. I'll then be heading to my sisters in Ohio. I'll be there until very early on Monday morning when I drive back to pick up Becky and get her home by 7pm Monday night for her class.

I'm looking forward to spending time with my sister, niece & nephew. Mom will be there as well. The kids and my sister are really excited as well. It makes me feel guilty that I haven't been there sooner. It's been 3 or 4 years since I've been down there.

I hope you are having a productive work week. Have fun with your family.


I'm still 25 pages back -- you people have been very chatty! We left after soccer/baseball on Saturday for Great Wolf Lodge for the long weekend, since we had to cancel our ski trip. It was fun, but pricey for what we got.

I'm working from home tomorrow and looking forward to just hanging at the house. I have a staff meeting on Thursday morning and need to help with a Lecture series dinner that night (in honor of Merrie's -- my boss-- late husband) then have Friday off. I'll finish catching up tomorrow.

I know I've missed commenting on a number of things -- I think all of the chlorine has fried my brain... Sending PD and prayers to all who need them!

I just talked to Kyle, and he provided a bit more clear information than all of the numbers I threw out. He caught a few different things on the report they scanned over. Both babies are measuring around the 45th percentile for the various measurements (between 43 and 46 %iles) -- still sounds about right, and we'll take it!


Goodnight all!
