[PrincessJasmine08]

PJ, I'm glad to finally know what happened in the book!

My BFF will be happy I no longer go "LaLaLaLaLaaaaaaaaa" when she wants to talk about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't read it. I didn't read any of them, but I've still heard so much about them!

Ha! See...you already know me better than I thought!

1-4-3!

Hi MommyP. Yes by all means lift up your shirt and let them see the baby kicking. It just might work.


I don't own a scale but by my calculations I have gained 23 lbs (plus or minus 2) My waist line is 39 inches- almost enough to ride Splash Mtn! I think with the twins it was 44 inches at 28 weeks. With Goldenchild at 28 weeks I could still wear non maternity jeans. Every pregnancy is an adventure.

No SCALE? I don't know how I did it without one for 4 other pregnancys! It takes all the stress out of DR's appointments when you already know what the number is going to be. Plus you can keep tabs on how much you weigh, thus rewarding or punishing yourself accordingly.

Too funny about your waist line almost being enough inches for Splash Mountain!

I am entering that dreaded "gain tons of weight in one month" time zone soon. It can't be all smooth sailing like through the 2nd trimester.

My sister is still not showing, though she has grown out of most of her regular clothes. She's gained 3 pounds. She's 17 weeks.


Marita - I hear ya on driving in the dark. I can't see a dang thing at night.

We started getting my sister moooved into her house last night. More to do today. But I don't get to help until they move all the boxes from Mom's to Beth's. Then they'll bring me a babysitter and pick me up. My sister's house is like 5 blocks away. However because of canals and lack of bridges it probably takes about 6 minutes just to drive there.
In the winter when the canals are dried up we'll be able to walk to eachother's houses though.

Ivy never showed up yesterday. So today is a mystery. Did she have yesterday off, or did she decide to cut 2 weeks down to 1?

I was able to certify myself for WIC. I just have to drop off my proof of pregnancy(I told her I'd show her my belly, but she said she hadn't had her morning coffee yet. ) when I'm "in the area". Which normally wouldn't be for another 3 months when I go back for checks again. But thankfully I am actually going to be nearby on Thursday for my appointment.

Now we have 3 more checks each month. So thankfully, we won't have to buy milk anymore. How much is milk where you live? Here it's over 4 dollars a gallon for WALMART brand.

Well, I am off to fix breakfast and then start school.

Have a goog day everyone.

 

[babynurse1]

Moooovers!


Hope y'all have a great day, I'm headed to work.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Remember Patriot Day.

Very appropriate morning greeting Miss Suzy Sunshine.

The color of the day is GREEN. I am not certain what outfits the twinks will be sporting but I did make a variety of green hairbows.

Lexi- Twinkerbell did the exact same thing to her glasses yesterday. Once again, thank goodnesss for the $15 warrenty plan.

MommyP- I had a scale but it broke and I never replaced it. It was our third scale in 10 years too I will say I love my new dr cause I have consistantly weighed a couple lbs less at his office than I expect. And it isn't that I weigh sooo much (in fact I have weighed more non pregnant ) it is that this baby is all out front so I feel huge.

Today is the big glucose test so I am fasting. This may be the last nice post you see from me for sometime

 

[celerystalker]

I did one session of facial pee

Hehehehehe. I know other people have commented on this, but it still makes me giggle.
And remember, we'll have an extra bed and an extra pull out couch if you need it.

I forgot to say this earlier a big

Moohooty to celery!!!!!! 95 Lbs gone! way to go my twin!!!!!

Yay! Thanks twinks!

PJ, I'm glad to finally know what happened in the book!

I know! I'm almost ready to start reading them all again.
But my collection is REALLY messed up.
Stupid ex roommate kept the 6th book I think (after he wrote a really nice inscription in it when he bought it for me) and when we were setting up the foster kid room, I found 3 copies of the 2nd book! geez!

Not to worry, Marita - we're all just coming as we are!!!
Is Celery collecting phone numbers of people to call during the meet(s) or am I?

1. Yes, celery is not crisp and fresh. And she got a pedicure (so did tammy. she has purple pink toes. ehehhehehe), but it was raining when she left and the stupid spa flip flop broke in the parking lot so her big toes are messed up now.
but she doesn't have the same color at home.
and doesn't feel like undoing them all.
so y'all will see her two big toes with messy polish.
2. Good idea moo! send me your numbers in a PM if you want a call from your imaginary friends!
mainly twinks, and pj, and poly, and babyn.
and lil g.
hehehehhe.
what if he talks like he types with smilies and everything?

is this true?..rumor..c~ girl like her celery naked...
that's a girl ready for ..action?

You are so bad Lil g!!!!!!!

He asked me when I got all that gray hair! Celery....I'm hoping to avoid telling DH about my imaginary friends as I'm sure he won't be wanting to join us for any rope drops. Although I'm sure he'll get to meet nebo and diane since they are staying at POR but I have a feeling he will hit it off with nebo. Maybe I'll bring up the subject on the ride down.

1. The nerve of that "friend!"
2. I didn't realize you all are driving too. Don't know why. hmm. ok. as long as I don't have to have him staring at me wondering who I am, I'm ok with it.

I didn't read it. I didn't read any of them, but I've still heard so much about them!

Didn't read them?!?!?!?! And your whole goal in life is childhood education?!?!?! Montessori is looking worse each day. hehehehehhe

(I told her I'd show her my belly, but she said she hadn't had her morning coffee yet. )

Moooovers!


Hope y'all have a great day, I'm headed to work.

I thought they only let you work at night? Like a vampire nurse or something.

Today is the big glucose test so I am fasting. This may be the last nice post you see from me for sometime

How long do you have to fast?

 

[NAB]

Morning All,

Not to bad here but they are calling for rain.

P.J. -- I will take cold over really hot. At least you can put on a sweater.

Lil'g -- thought you were watching the ground hog while I was away...

Mommy P-- they buy your milk? We pay $4.99 in the supermarket for 4 litres which is close to your gallon. When we in Nova Scotia this summer it was $6.91 a gallon.

Twinkie -- I remember the glucose test well. That is when I found out I had gestational diabetes. You have to drink that orange drink or at least I did.

Lexi-- can you get your glasses fixed before you go away? I will see you too I hope at POR. You will here my son a mile away.

I have to head to the grocery store.....running out of things to put in their lunch. It will be so nice to go by myself again..... No one running over my heels, cart full of junk to put back, fighting over who is pushing the cart....

 

[MommyPoppins]

Twinkie - I too am all out front. Thankfully it's the only place I've gained weight. My waist line is also 39 inches. Maybe in a couple of weeks our waist lines can ride Splash Mountain together. A lot of my cute shirts that I couldn't wait to get out of the shed are just about too short. The bottom of my belly will soon be making an appearance. lol Thank googness it's tan!

Sunday as I was walking out of church this man said, "We all know you're stealing the basketball, Amanda." lol. Those are much better comments than,"You're so HUGE!" I don't mind looking like I have a basketball under my shirt as long as it doesn't move to my sides and back.

Twinkie - Did you fail your first glucose test? Or does your DR just make you fast for the sugar drink one? I've always been allowed to eat, just nothing sugary. (at least I think I didn't have to fast)

 

[MommyPoppins]

Nab - WIC provides checks for milk, juice, eggs, cheese, cereal, peanut butter/beans. There are some areas in FL where WIC also provides checks to local farmers markets so you can buy fresh fruits and veggies. Nothing like that around here though. Before we got 9 gallons a month, now we'll get 13 1/2. The price of milk is absolutely stupid! No one should be paying so much for milk. Is there a shortage of cows these days or something?

 

[TwinkieMama]

I am probably going to whine today. I can do hot, overtired, stressed. Hungry not so much. It makes me cranky!

This is the first test with the orange drink and you wait one hour. I have to fast from last night till 12:45 when I get to guzzle the gross orange soda. I have always been told to fast and usually I just try to schedule my apt in the morning. They doctor doesn't come in till after 10 and the only slot available today was 11. That won't work because the girls catch the bus at 12. I am sure we would be late and I would have to feed them at the doctor.
So my apt is 1:45. Anyway- every pregnancy I have had a different doctor and they have all said to fast before the test. Wah.


Cel- I know you had to fast for a lot longer with your surgery. And I have had to watch my baby fast before surgery too. That is rotten. However like I said, hungry makes me snappish. And it is a 100x worse when I am pregnant.


MP- too cute about our bellies riding splash mtn together- I think mine might make it this week. Actually I think my waist line changes when the baby rolls over- I was shocked that it was only 39 inches.

Milk here has just gone down a little. At Aldi I pay 3.84 for 2%. It is over $4 at walmart. Who knows how much it is at the ritzy HyVee grocery store?

 

[celerystalker]

My fasting was so long ago - I don't even remember it.
or the pain.
but my hair is coming back!
so I traded dizzy all the time for hair. I think I like this way better. heh.
only we'll see what Florida does to me.
if I pass out, I might wish for my hair to be gone again.
If I start feeling too bad, I guess I can just kick my mom off the scooter.
the weird thing is even if I try to hide it, people can still see it in my eyes. plus I forget and blurt out "tammy, I feel . . "
and she's like "Are you dizzy again?"
and I'm like "no! i was saying something else."
hehe.
I need to learn to keep my mouth shut.
I was at 99 pounds lost this morning. but it's not official until Friday.

drink lots of water twinks. trick your body into feeling full.

 

[celerystalker]

Here's my latest bit of cheese. I never listened to the words for "I'll try" from return to neverland - I've never even seen the movie.
But in preparation for our trip, we've got the first three volumes of disney's greatest (plus high school musical and happy feet) going pretty much non stop in the car.

So my brilliant idea was to print out the lyrics to this song and frame it and put it in the kid's room.
I'm sure they'll never read it.
but I want it to be there.
so here are the lyrics.

I’ll Try

I am not a child now
I can take care of myself
I musn’t let them down now
Musn’t let them see me cry
I’m fine, I’m fine
I’m too tired to listen
I’m too old to believe
All these childish stories
There is no such thing
As faith,
And trust and pixie dust
I try
But it’s so hard to believe
I try
But I can’t see what you see
I try, I try, I try…
My whole world is changing
I don’t know where to turn
I can’t leave you waiting
But I can’t stay and watch
This city burn,
Watch it burn
‘Cause I try
but it’s so hard to believe
I try, but I can’t see
What you see
I try, I try
I try and try to understand The distance in between
The love I feel and the things I fear
And every single dream
I can finally see it
Now I’ve got to believe
All those precious stories
All the world is made of faith, and trust and pixie dust
So I’ll try
Because I finally believe
I’ll try, cuz I can see what you see
I’ll try, I’ll try
I will try
I’ll try
To fly


I am such a dork!

 

[eeyore45]

I sympathize with the forced fasters - I cant do it! I was so bad I literally crawled and begged the doctor to make me high risk so I could eat - then I started throwing up - doctor said it was because I was the only one that was "passing" - doctor followed up and I have low blood sugar - and as such I never had to take one of those tests again!! It takes so much out of me!!

Goog luck!!

Celery thans for the reminder, I think I'll do that for dd too -

 

[lalijack]

Goog afternoon, everyone!

It's a rainy, dreary day in Southern New England. But I suppose that's appropriate on this horrible anniversary.

.......... hungry makes me snappish. And it is a 100x worse when I am pregnant.

Twink, I had to fast for that test when I was pregnant too. Whose evil, sadistic idea was it to make a pregnant woman have to fast for that test anyhow???? So E-VIL!!!!!!!

 

[PrincessJasmine08]

Just mooooovin through. Gotta go babysit.

Celery...we had this conversation...Montessori is always a good idea!! Get it right! I'm just not into any of those Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, etc. type books.
p.s. I'm not sure whether I'll be PMing you my phone number or not.
p.p.s. I really like the lyrics to that song. I have lyrics written out in various places throughout my room. I love to "see" songs. I bet that will turn out very nice.

Nab...ITA!!!! Cold is better than hotT. It just seems especially cold in the morning when I have to get out of my nice bed (with Disney Princess sheets).

Twinkie...Hope you survived the fasting.

Hi to everyone!!!

From what I've heard from babynurse today all she does all day is hold cute newborns. Must be a real tough job.

My favorite child moment of the day....the little girl who told me her mom said her cousin is a les-bean and could I please explain to her what kind of a bean that is.

 

[celerystalker]

pj - Tell her it's not a bean at all - it's celery.

 

[TwinkieMama]

Twink, I had to fast for that test when I was pregnant too. Whose evil, sadistic idea was it to make a pregnant woman have to fast for that test anyhow???? So E-VIL!!!!!!!

obviously a man

pj - Tell her it's not a bean at all - it's celery.

Well I passed. Bring on the carbs! They did tell me to limit my intake of salt, sugar and caffiene. Whatevah.
Actually he said I am awesome. He loved my weight, belly measurement, and blood pressure. Baby's heartbeat was 154 and the baby kicked him. I go back in two weeks for another ultrasound

On my way out I saw a brand new baby waiting to go home from the hospital. I might have cried a little. Lack of sugar makes me weepy. Anyway I have just inhaled about 1000 calories so I am ready to take on the world. Or take a nap.

what a simply rotten stupid day.....first off I had the internet or should I say computer working for a grand total of one hour.....in the night at two am my dear mom called and woke us up to tell us she was dusting her area.....hubby told her that it was in the middle of the night...she has done this a few times....but ..so this morning mysister picked me up and we went to visit our mama.....told her ...no no mama calling us at two am again.....she said she didnt know it was in the middle of the night.....
I watched some of the 9/11 coverage on tv.....brian and I had flown in to the Reagan airport in DC and to the Portland Maine airport at eleven pm the night before.....we saw all of DC all lite up with the lights....we thought wow this is so beautiful.....got into our home at one am and woke up the next morning .....then a little after the first attack....our son called to tell us what had happened....two of the terrorists started off in Maine at the very same airport that we had just flown into......I think we walked in a daze that day.......could not believe that this happened....I was supposed to host chat that night and instead I asked the people who needed to be together to come to chat and we could mourn together this horrible tragedy...we had comfort together......today I didnt want to watch it again....but somehow we are drawn to it......
thanks for listening to my ramblings.....
