GOOD MORNING EVERYONE Yes, it is very early and I have lots to accomplish this morning.

S. PoppinsI didn't stay home. My work and DH job is only 3 min from our house. DH didn't leave town until 2 ish.

DS slept most of the day and when not sleeping called with hourly temp. notices. He truley is OCD, but I love my boy. God amazes with him a lot.

DD we are starting in albuteral this morning and hopefully she will be able to kick this cough.

DS#3 hopefully will be well enough for his surgery Friday.

ON TO THE GOOD NEWS--Well I will still be hanging out here and watching what I eat and still making the list for the big meet. But for about 9 months I will be trying not to gain to much weight. OCT. 14th.. I know this will not be our day b/c I will be induced--not due to medical but b/c I want as my students say the baby's daddy to be there.

DH is out of town and I would like a little way of telling him we are having our 4th. I know you guys can come up with some ideas.

Stacey go ahaead and put me down for an infant spot in January.

I sitll plan on running and all the other stuff. I do not want to gain a lot of weight this time. I have worked to hard to get it off. Since August I have lost 22 pounds.
This morning I making the call to my DR. He likes to see us around week 6-8.

JUst pray that everthing goes well and there are no complications.

Congrats Pigget!!

Heres an idea... Make a dinner that is just all baby related like baby corn, baby back ribs, baby carrots. See if he picks up on a theme and then if he still is clueless get a picture frame that has for spots and put a baby picture of each child and in the soon to be spot you can write is it a boy or girl? with the due date.

Good Luck and Congrats again!!!

Any word on Fidge or Stacey?

I think Fidge was being dimissed around 3 pm today so she's probably not home yet.

 

[S.Poppins]

Hey Bee, I have not fallen asleep yet so I thought I would try to post quickly. I was nodding off while I was reading. So sorry if I say anything weird. They gave me a shot of Demerol and Phenagrn. And I took a muscle relaxer. Thanks Bee for checking on me.
When I had to move from the waiting room to the er room, they had to get a wheelchair. My whole left side locked up on me.
They scheduled an MRI for Friday and maybe I can see a neurologist on Monday. I guess it is wait and see now. Harley, you are right - no quick fix unless God heals it! Did your DH go undiagnosed for 2 years? Was he seeing a Dr. during that time? I am glad he is better.

Honestly? A couple of months. No wonder I have no interest in having more kids! Some days were better than others, though, and the worst pain generally lasted no more than a week at a time. Please get it checked out - no self-diagnosing! After my recent experiences, I have little trust in Dr.s, but this kind of pain needs to have an answer. If it is sciatica, you're in good company, but if it isn't, you need to know what you're dealing with.

It is hard to trust drs. sometimes. Right now it seems like they are quessing.

Ok, so I just got off the phone with SPoppins.

She got a call from hubby while we were on the phone. He is coming home to get her showered and to the ER. I told her to keep us updated. Hopefully, if someone knows later POST and let us know how she is.

To her!!!

Thanks again Belinda! Your encouragement has meant a great deal today.

Hey Stacey, I thought about you this morning while I wsa walking on the treadmill, in pain. I have osteo-arthritis, and it feels like a pinched nerve, pulled muscle kinda thing. The pain comes and goes, it hadn;t hurt in a few months and then a couple of weeks ago it started again. My doctors FINALLY diagnosed me after many tests and xrays, that was a year ago in December, my husband was stilled deployed and they wanted to give me all kinds of pain meds and sleeping pills, but I refused because I was the only one there to take care of my girls, and all my family was over a 1,000 miles away. If it hadnt have been for Kids Cuisine and easy mac, my girls would have starved, LOL. Anyway, after they diagnosed me, and the pain had been managed I started physical therapy to help strengthen the muscles around my spine. I lost weight, felt good, went to WDW without any problems. Then, we got orders to move and after getting here I put all the weight PLUS more back on, and havent been active in anything, until last week. Sorry for rambling, I really do have a point to make, LOL, and it is..... please insist that they double check their tests before diagnosing you. My doctors were ready to cut me open and try to "fix" whatever they thought was broken. They also mis diagnosed me with MS, AND lupus, because I have a family history of both. I was devistated for no reason, because the osteo is managable, caqn be dealt with without sugery and is not dibilitating , IF I do what I'm supposed to as far as excercise, etc. Also, PLEASE PLEASE REST, trust me, I HAD to pretty much be told not to get up for at least two days, and keep a heating pad on my back and hiney (the pain shot through my hips) if I wanted to heal enough in order for the physical therapy to help, kwim?

Yesterdays walk for me was painful, this mornings, too, BUT, I know I HAVE to do this, and you can too !!! As good as it feels to give to others, we HAVE to give to ourselves, too. It took me a LONG time to realize this, too.

okay, I just went and re-read this, and I am rambling, sorry. Just get some rest, make sure they don't dismiss you, or mis diagnose you, and remember, we are here praying !!!! You are a sweet, giving, selfless person, He is good to people like you.

Big Hugs, and sorry for rambling !!

There are so many symptoms that could be any number of back problems. I am praying that what ever is going on can be resolved without surgery. It would have been nice if they had at least examined me today. But they just asked questions and gave me drugs.

OK--DH will be home tomorrow. Help me think of a cute way to let him know the good news.

I will call and check on Stacey later today, but I may not be able to post again until tonight.

I go to my first appt. on March 7th. Just days before my DISNEY Trip. Will have to really consider if I still want to go to the Beach in July---already have plans with another family--we rented a COndo togther.

I do not plan on telling anyone here except for DH until after this appt. The longer I wait the better. Anyway--I have work to get done.

I liked Bee's fortune cookie idea. How about a scavenger hunt?

Thanks for all the hugs and prayers! Every one is appreciated. I keep falling asleep while I type. So I am going to lay down now.

 

[DisneyObsession]

Boy, miss one day and there's LOTS to catch up on!

Stacey...I hope the pain pills help you. If nothing else you may get some sleep! I had a herniated disk that I had a "spinal block" done twice for and it really helped with the pain, It also allowed me to do some exercises to strengthen my back.

Bee...If SlimFast is what you need to do, then do it! I know I've used it in the past and it works. Be sure to have fruits & veggies as well and take a multi-vitamin to be sure you're getting verything you need. You Can Do IT!!!!

Piggett...CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am definitely staying away from the water!!!

Prayers & to those who need them!

I know there was more I wanted to say, but really can't remember now!

As for me...I went to the DR yesterday, as I've had a rash on my face since Nov, and have finally been diagnosed with shingles! They are itchy, painful and generally irritating! I am on a prescription medication, Benedryl & Neosporin to prevent an infection. Luckily I can't give them to anyone, however if you've not had chickenpox I can give you those! We are watching my grandson the next few weeks for any sign he's caught chickenpox. Of course I've been snuggling and loving on him this weekend when it was the worst!

I made muffins today and they are delicious! However, the recipe said "24 snack size" and snack size to me are the mini muffins. So I made 24 mini and 12 regular muffins! Are snack size really the regular muffins? Either way, they are wonderful!!!

 

[UtahMama]

I put a Cinnamon-BUN IN THE OVEN and told DH to get it out when the timer went off. He said. "Why'd you put this ROLL in the oven for????"

When pregnant with Norah (my youngest) I put this "I'm the Big Brother" t-shirt on 4 year old Riley for "Cap'n Clueless DH" to see... It's the SAME t-shirt Jordan wore when I was pregnant with Dallen and Dallen wore when I was pregnant with Riley.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Take Care Stacey! We love you and we want you to be healthy. I know the people at your church will step up and fill in the spaces. They need you healthy too. Get some good rest, and maybe these tests will give you insight into what is causing the pain. At least that is what I will be praying for.

 

[aldisneygrl]

Reveal Idea - When I found out I was pregnant with my first, I took the square test strip and laid it on my DH's dinner plate. I folded up a napkin very fancy and placed it over the test. When he put the napkin in his lap, he said "what is this?" When he saw the +, he knew what it meant.

 

[monymony3471]

He did a good job.. but, all I could think of was you!!!

I kinda grow on you like that. He He He

Hi.

I'm so excited to say that I walked an unbelievable distance today. I drove an hour to get to the college that I attend and then found out that classes had been cancelled. Great! Drove on slick, hazardous roads for nothing. Or did I? I went to the YMCA and decided that I had plenty of time to walk and no excuse to do better than I had been. My great number of miles walked today (not including the mileage in Wal-Mart): 6 miles. That's right 6 miles and about 1/2 mile was done by jogging!Now can I get a big WOOOOOO HOOOOOTY!

Also, I have done so good today, I just hope that it lasts.
So far today:

B: 2 Quaker rice cakes (yum)
L: 6 hush puppies with tater sauce (okay maybe not so great but how I love)
S: Yoplait whips! Creamy Latte' (great recommendation from someone, thank you)
Water (crystal light flavored): 68 ozs

Well, it's been one heck of a long week! My grandma passed away friday afternoon and we had the funeral yesterday. I was blessed to be able to hold her had as she passed, it was truly a blessing. The doctor said it was colon cancer and my great grandma also died of it. So we all need to start getting checked at 40. So I said great now for our next family reunion we can all get colonoscopys! The last of the family staying with me left this evening. I have told my family that tomorrow I will remain in the fetal position for the day and feel sorry for myself, since I haven't had time or energy to do it and I've got to get it all out. Regular life will resume on thursday. Can you tell I like schedules? I did ok with what I ate so I feel good about that.

I'm so sorry to hear. I feel your pain. I only have one grandparent left and she just turned 85. She's in really good health but lives alone about 2 hours away. She is just so lonely and sometimes she prays that God will take her home soon. She lost her husband and then 15 months later she lost her only child, my dad, five years yesterday.
Hope you feel better soon.

So I posted on the WL Lover's thread... you'd think one person would acknowledge... nope, nothin, nada.. zippo...

At least you had a great time. I'll try to find it and leave you a post.

I've been doing great with my zero point soup! Did I tell everyone I added cayenne pepper? It is really good and I add the cooked pearl barley (in a separate container in the fridge) when I want it to be more filling. I think I love that soup! I feel so GOOD!

Hum. I think I've seen this receipe but I really don't want to try to search for it. Could you please post? I brought you a flower.

The huge snow storm that let school out early yesterday did not materialize but no school again today. Just about an inch here it looks like....five-six inches just an hour north. We are almost in the record books for most days below freezing here. Count your blessings if you are farther south.

We had six inches here in good, ole Lewis County. Before you say where the heck is that, it's about 2 hours from Cincinnatti and it borders the Ohio River. In the last two weeks my kids have went 3 days to school and most likely will not being going tomorrow. I hope they can! I hope they can! I hope they can! Just to justify. Tuesdays and Thursdays are normally me days. No classes, no homework, no worries.

I need your prayers!

Tonight was very rough! I am okay now. As long as I sit in one position in my recliner with the ice pack.

Sorry to hear and I'm glad your feeling a little better. Be sure to take everyone's advice and get plenty of rest.

TMI, TMI!!!!!!

 

[my2boysrtwicethefun]

I go to my first appt. on March 7th. Just days before my DISNEY Trip. Will have to really consider if I still want to go to the Beach in July---already have plans with another family--we rented a COndo togther.

So far I'm 11 weeks.

CONGRATULATIIONS
Would love to have another baby or two myself but not until I finish school.

 

[S.Poppins]

I slept about 3 hours. Hip still hurts. I am back in my recliner. Thank you guys so much for all the encouragement and prayers. You guys are the best. I did no do so well food wise today. My DH bought me a meatball sub for lunch and my MIL is cooking supper. I will do better tomorrow.

Congrats Pigget!!

Heres an idea... Make a dinner that is just all baby related like baby corn, baby back ribs, baby carrots. See if he picks up on a theme and then if he still is clueless get a picture frame that has for spots and put a baby picture of each child and in the soon to be spot you can write is it a boy or girl? with the due date.

Good Luck and Congrats again!!!

I love this idea!

I put a Cinnamon-BUN IN THE OVEN and told DH to get it out when the timer went off. He said. "Why'd you put this ROLL in the oven for????"

I would have been like your DH because to me they are "cinnamon rolls" too. You would have had to use a hamburger bun.

Take Care Stacey! We love you and we want you to be healthy. I know the people at your church will step up and fill in the spaces. They need you healthy too. Get some good rest, and maybe these tests will give you insight into what is causing the pain. At least that is what I will be praying for.

Thanks Al. DH says if I am not better tomorrow, he is taking me back and demanding they admit me. Not sure I am liking this idea! I hate hospitals! Hoping he changes his mind or I may be acting a lot better tomorrow.

6 miles!!!! Wow, I am impressed! Didn't you love the Creamy Latte! I had my DH by me some more! I was a little leary of coffee flavored yogurt, but his and the chocolate cherry were very good.
