The DDA Trouble Free Zone Part 13

[babytrees]

I'll have to buy two copies of CARS when it comes out, one for here and one for my DGS for Christmas.

Abi asked last night when it was coming out on DVD, when I told her, her response was "I don't think I can wait that long!!"

Are you still on the diabetic diet? My weight loss has slowed down significantly in the past month or so and I feel like I need another boost or jump start. Any suggestions as to what is working for people that does not involve meetings and that type of thing would be appreciated. Are John and Denise still on NutriSystem?

Elin, we are still doing "Nutrisystem plan", but buying our own meals instead (Weight Watchers, Lean Cuisine, South Beach Diet, Healthy Choice). Sticking to the same exact plan, but this way we have more variety. For b'fast we are doing a small portion of plain cereal, WW muffin, or a b'fast bar. Lunch is the meal. Dinner meal. Still eating the same veggies, fruit, milk portions. It's working, and we're happier with more choices.

Hi All!

I'm back with a nasty head cold and a very bad case of post Disney depression. We some very magical moments at Disney but unfortunately had some issues with the hotel-came back to the hotel late the first night to a room without any funiture and a connecting room with about 20 matresses in it. When I went to tell the supervisor who assigned us the room the condition of the rooms the next day she laughed and said it wasn't her fault-engineering had told her the rooms were OK. I need to compose a letter to Disney about the experience as she showed no appreciation for what we went through late at night with no luggage or stuff I had shipped down via UPS (that arrived at 11PM). Her reaction was shocking.

Emma was sick for 2 days at Disney, Joe our last day and Lizzie on the car ride home from the airport.

I need to upload the photos from my camera and I haven't had a chance to even unpack yet. I can't imagine how many loads of laundry I'll be doing this weekend.

Lizzie starts school on Tuesday. Joe goes for about an hour on Wednesday to meet his teacher and 1/2 the class and then starts on Thursday and Emma starts on Monday the 11th.

Good news is my husband actually enjoyed the trip and was OK with my meeting Beth and Anne Marie (I didn't tell him in advance). It was really great meeting then and I was blown away with Paula's SSP!!!!! I need to unpack tonight. Maybe the Tink pillowcase will cure my cold and depression.

Hope all is well with everyone. Maybe I can get caught up some over the weekend while doing laundry.

Here's the photo taken with my phone. I'll post a better version when I upload the other photos.

I know Dawn had hoped to give you an update herself today, but it's getting late, so I thought I'd update you with what she wrote to me earlier.

The head Neonatologist came in early this afternoon and said from what they've told him about the spitting up and from what the nurses observed first hand, he's going to thicken Caroline's formula more and they'll have to adjust the Reglan more. He said it would probably take a few days so Dawn doesn't anticipate that they'll go home today or tomorrow.

The good news is Caroline is having wet/dirty diapers again and she's gained three ounces. She's up to 6 lbs 7 ounces now. They were still waiting for some 48 hour lab tests to come back, but the nurse told them at 36 hours they were negative and they rarely come back positive after that.

Amy

Thanks for the update Amy.

Come on princess Caroline - you have to keep growing so your mummy can take you home

Update on Kate from Tammi -- Tammi can't get to her computer now so she called with news from Steve. Kate's surgery went/is going well. The doctor feels he will be able to repair eveything and Kate ought to be waking up and home in about 5 hours. (I am hoping I got it all correct, Tammi.)

As I was talking on the phone with her the two chairs on my patio skidded the whole length of the patio in the wind! Ernesto is here and blowing up a storm and dumping tons of water on us. It's coming your way, Robyn.

Thanks for the update!!

Hope you've battened down the hatches!!

 

[babytrees]

your welcome
I know we can use manufacture coupons and walgreens store coupons on other stuff so I assume we can do it with this.

That second link worked for me also. THANKS!!!

I said hello on a separate thread but was encouraged to come by here and introduce myself as well. I have been lurking here for a month or two so it is well past time.

My name is Suzanne and I have two beautiful kids. Michelle, 6, is the reason we are going to WDW in October. She was diagnosed June 1, 2005 with Aplastic Anemia, her body wasn't making blood cells. After trying some drugs which didn't work, she had to have a bone marrow transplant, November 11, 2005. We live in California but decided to have the transplant in Wisconsin. Michelle had some complications that kept us there longer than we hoped. We ended up staying there for 9 months. DH was there off and on and my mom brought DS out. My son Ian, (will be 4 Sep 11) had a hard time this past year with mommy and sister being gone so much. He came to visit but it wasn't the same as having us home.

Make A Wish granted Michelle's wish to go to Walt Disney World! We will be there October 7-15 and are staying at the Poly! The kids are thrilled and can't wait to go down the volcano slide. I have some special events planned for them, tea with Sleeping Beauty for Michelle and I and a pirate cruise for Ian. We are looking forward to spending some quality time together as a family.

Anyways, I came here to get some cool creative ideas. The trip is getting close enough I need to start working on things before time gets away from me. I am looking forward to meeting some new friends and getting some new ideas.

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne - welcome to our crazy group. It's nice to meet you.

Welcome Suzanne!

But that scary Bruce in your avatar is going to make me uneasy every time you post...I'm afraid of sharks!

Wait, did I just share a weakness with you all? Who's going to be evil and post pictures of sharks for me to wake up to?

Your wish is my command

In a nutshell; I am doing a calorie, fat & sugar restricted diet (which basically leaves nothing

EVERY AM Bill does 1 c. special k, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee (I do the soy bar)
Lunch is usually a lean cuisine meal
Dinner toss up between egg white omelet, 4 oz chicken, salad

I fit in an assortment of fruits with the later 2 meals.

2 x a week I eat the 1 cup special K w/some fruit for lunch...this has helped me quite a bit.

I have virtually stopped eating meat....my usual dinner is a large salad with 2 oz of goat cheese which I bread and fry in olive oil. (may sound gross, but it is very good) Since I stopped eating meat, the weight has been coming off consistently.

I won't lie....I am hungry often, but it has gotten better. It amazes me how little the body needs to maintain weight, let alone lose.

Are you still on the diabetic diet? My weight loss has slowed down significantly in the past month or so and I feel like I need another boost or jump start. Any suggestions as to what is working for people that does not involve meetings and that type of thing would be appreciated. Are John and Denise still on NutriSystem?
