DDA Chapter 6

[lovesdumbo]

Should I be annoyed with DH? He told me this morning that he his sister from St Louis wanted to see me and I told him I thought Friday would be better for me. So this morning he talked to his Mom and she said it is such a beautiful day come on up today instead. OK. But then he didn't call me til about 6pm to tell me and I was already on my way home-opposite direction from going to MIL's. By then the kids were already getting tired as they had been there all day and I'm sure MIL was too.

I guess I should take advantage of the quiet house and get Emma's dress made. I talked to SIL and I am going tomorrow night to see her so she can see if she can help me with my buttonholes.



Off to go sew.

Glynis sending lot's of your way!

Elizabeth for your mom's test results.

Tammi I hope the ran stays away this weekend for you!

Beth for the August trip! I would love to meet you, but understand if your children aren't comfortable with it. I would choose Pop as well, my boys just love it there.

Jennifer glad you passed your glucose test!

Thank you all for the prayers for Mary & her family. This is just so heartbreaking. I keep thinking of his little boy that will never really know his dad. I keep seeing them at work yesterday playing hide & seek & hearing Tyler's(he just turned 2, I posted the wrong age earlier) little squeals of delight when he would see Matt. They had a beautiful last day together & that I guess we can be thankful for.

& to all I have missed.

Maybe when the kids can carry their own.


My first one was a purple gray and has seen a lot of use. It is starting to fray a bit so when I found a navy one at Marshalls a few months ago I had to get it. I'm hoping to fit one in my Owner's locker.

Marshall's had that purple/gray one back when I bought the orange one. I thought it would be cooler for DH to carry the mesh, but in the end he decided to carry a regular backpack.
He says the reason my Adidas one is falling apart is beacuse I carry so much stuff in the parks. HE is the one who carried an UNopened bottle of water for 4 days on one trip! Either drink it or leave it in the room!

 

[Glynis]

Oh, you really should be able to see wonderful things! I will be praying diligently for your appointment. What time is it?

And I've been told, although boy does it NOT help when you keep throwing up through the third trimester , that morning sickness is a great sign!

My appointment is at 1:30 MST.

 

[Glynis]

They very likely could just make you eat the right diet for GDD and monitor your blood sugar for a while around the same time you would be tested. I hate the Glucola, too. The first time around it was all I could do to keep it down, as I literally gagged it back in barely the allowed amount of time. I sat by the toilet, swearing it was not going to stay in me! If I would have been unable to complete it, that is what my OB planned for me. To act as if I had GDD, which certainly never hurts anyone! I begged her to just do that instead of making me do the 3-hour, but she wouldn't have it.

I hated it with Katie. It was this nasty lemon-lime flavor and I really had to work to gag it down. I was teaching at the time, and had to drink it before leaving the school, and then drive right to the doctor. I honestly thought I'd have to pull over and toss my cookies, but somehow I made it.

When I was pregnant with Jacob, my doctor told me they were participating in a study, and asked me if I would rather drink the Glucola or eat a King Size Snicker's bar. Hmmmm, tough question, right???

By the time the twins came around, I guess the study had not been successful because I had to drink the nasty stuff. It was orange that time around, and it was horrible!!!

 

[Glynis]

Ok planners, I need ideas for a 40th birthday party in December. Dawn will be 40 this year, her birthday is Dec. 24th so I will have to have it earlier.

Do you want it to be serious, or silly?

My BIL threw a wake for my SIL's 40th. Black balloons, coffin cake, candles everywhere. It was kind of fun!

For mine, Alan threw a surprise party and asked all the guests to bring their favorite nacho topping. He supplied the chips, and nacho cheese sauce. We ate nachos, played kiddie games, and for dessert had things like Twinkies, Hostess cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies.

Thanks Tia for the codes!!

I drank the orange while I was pregnant with Alyssa and Matty, and this time tried the lemon-lime. I must be a weirdo (that's rhetorical people! ), because I didn't think it was half-bad.

Sending you a ton of Glynis.

Beth, woo hoo for booking a trip!!!

Jen, a hockey player?!!

Elizabeth, hang in there.

Janet, what a terrible tragedy. I'm so sorry for all affected.

Tammi, doing the anti-rain dance for you!

Denise, I know I missed you, but have a MAGICAL trip!

A big to everyone.

It was a crazy day (Open Gym, Alyssa's school field trip, etc.), so I'm running on fumes. I'm enjoying reading all the "how DH and I met" stories. I'm not feeling very coherent, so I'll save our story for another day (or maybe Kevin will tell it when he gets home from Republican Club. ).

Take care everyone,
Amy

P.S. Obviously Kevin played with our signature today.

Amy-love the sig!!

I'd be annoyed!!

love all the new siggies!! They are smile inducers

 

[yellowfish78]

Well I am going to be reall nosey, and even if we did this before just humor me, ok?


How did you meet your spouse/so?


John was working for my cousin's husband and stopped one night at their house to ask a question, I was there because every Wed. we used to go there for dinner.
Well I was serving coffee and when I went to give him his I spilled it in his lap. After we left, said cousin gave him my number and he called that Friday.

Bob and I met online... (Tammi - Jinx you owe me a drink! )
We talked for about three months online, then progressed to the phone and then met in person after that. July Fourth we went to Blossom Music Festival - our outdoor pavilion/music center - for their fourth of July orchestra show and fireworks. There's been fireworks ever since!

Could I ask for some pixie dust for Saturday please? I am having 20+ people over for that cookout and the weather forecast is rather bleak.....thunderstorms. I don't mind cooking in the rain, but I don't know where I'll put all these people if they can't be outside on the deck!

Can you rent a tent last minute?

 

[tinknme]

I agree

love all the new siggies!! They are smile inducers

Greys Anatomy is Back!!!!

I'm an older woman, too. We're coming to the time of year that dh likes, because between my birthday in May and his in August, he can claim to be 2 years younger than me.

Between Sept 18 and Nov 18 Chris is 2 years younger than me

I'm going to beg some spare pixie dust if you've got it. I was told by my doctor that I'm not producing enough progesterone, so they've put me on a pill for that. I have to go to the doctor for an ultrasound tomorrow afternoon to make sure that all is well. Please send me good thoughts for a safe baby, and an ultrasound that shows that all is going well!

Thanks!

Neither did my dad. He was not happy. Since he was a professor at the college, he read about it in the campus report. I was in so much trouble!!!

Ooohhh. I bet you had some explaining to do

Oh, yeah...and I need a few opinions if anyone has them. I did something extremely impulsive last night (well, impulsive for me, I've actually been thinking about it for several weeks). I still can't believe that dh ok'd it.

Anyway, I'm taking my younger two to WDW in August! I have non-refundable airfare booked. This has to be a budget trip, and I have never stayed at any of the Value resorts (family of 5 and all). Pop or All-Stars?

Thanks!

The only value we've stayed at is Pop. We've stayed there twice and love it.

My daughter may freak out at that, but I'll run it by her. She wouldn't go to meet Bernadette and Anne Marie and was afraid that I was going to be hurt in someway. Of course, she doesn't even know about the trip yet. I'm trying to figure out how to spring it on them.

So plan to meet, but don't tell the kids. Would it be strange to just run into some Disney friends? We ran into DDA in October at times that we hadn't planned to meet.

I just got a phone call that I passed my 3-hour Glucose Tolerance Test with flying colors! You can only fail one out of four levels, and I was significantly lower than the cutoff on all 4! This isn't totally surprising to me, since my blood sugar tends to run EXTREMELY low (as in, I have frequently passed out without monitoring it). Somehow, though, I failed the challenge (I still think they mixed up my sample with someone else! ) so I assumed maybe things had swung the other way while my pancreas is working for 3 people.

Either way, I'm glad. Mostly because I was worried I'd have to go out and buy all of the supplies, only to end up in the hospital right after and not need my own!

I didn't know that diabetes was a risk for you. Considering how little weight you've gained I wouldn't have suspected it.

Oh, you really should be able to see wonderful things! I will be praying diligently for your appointment. What time is it?

And I've been told, although boy does it NOT help when you keep throwing up through the third trimester , that morning sickness is a great sign!

I was told that nausea is the sign of a healthy baby...Healthy Mom not so much...but healthy baby. My boys were all healthy.

 

[my3princes]

I see that my DH has been reading today as he has made reference to things that were posted and I hadn't read yet. He's a sneaky little devil

We're at 65 days until our trip Somehow it seems so close yet so far away. I have so many non Disney related things to tie up before then. I also need to drop 10 lbs or my shorts will not fit and that will totally screw up my clothing itenerary.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Well im headed to bed..goodnight all

 

[Pooh67_68]

Hehe, awesome.

My BIL threw a wake for my SIL's 40th. Black balloons, coffin cake, candles everywhere. It was kind of fun!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Greys Anatomy is Back!!!!

Crap! I forgot to watch! Well, 15 minutes left.

We were out buying a laptop.

 

[tmfranlk]

Hi all! Just wanted to pop in with a quick hi. I'm way behind because it has been a crazy week! Plus, Terra and I are going camping with Rachel's Girl Scout troop this weekend so I'll be gone a few more days.

Phil stayed in major abdonimal pain off and on through Monday. He saw the dr Mon afternoon and he suspected gall stones. Scheduled an ultrasound for Tues morn and send home with a script for some meds. Well, those meds didn't do jack and we ended up at the ER at midnight Mon night. Got home at 5am with a script for Prilosec in case its an ulcer and for vicodin. Ultrasound Tues morning showed no stones so we're leaning toward the ulcer dx. The meds seem to be helping some, but he's still pretty queasy and often feels weak. Hopefully the GI dr will call back tomorrow to make the appt.

Otherwise, I've spent the week trying to catch up on all of the sleep lost sitting with him through the weekend pain and then at the ER.

I hope all is well. Seeings as how I'm God knows how far behind, I may just jump in here. Please let me know if I missed anything big! I hope that everyone is doing well. and all around.
