He will be 8 on July 2nd, although they are so close in size that most people that meet them think they are twins!!!

I did think they were twins, until you posted about school one time. They sure look like it!

Elin, thank you for taking the time to send me some Please take care of yourself and here's some more You are in our thoughts and prayers!

Tammi, welcome home!

Jen, nice to see some posts from you...it's been awhile since you've popped up on this thread!

Nanette, if you're reading,

Lindsay, congrats on your "smaller" payment to the IRS!!!

Guess how many thank you notes I got done I got sucked into that celebrity cooking show on NBC, then Kevin went upstairs, so I reclaimed the computer.

I know I've made lots of comments about finding out the sex of the baby, but if y'all could spare a prayer tonight that the baby looks healthy and everything appears normal, I'd appreciate it.

 

[julia & nicks mom]

She better not!!!!!!!!!

I told her months ago she'd be one of the first outside of my family to know, particularly if it does turn out to be a girl.

I won't tell - I might tell them I know - but I tell what I know!! I wouldn't tell Amy - she STINKS at keeping secrets!!!!!!!


I am so excited you are more than halfway there!!! You are on the same timetable that I was on with Nick - which seems to make it easier for me to reference where you are!!

There's a very noticeable difference between the one today and the ones in your signature. Your face and upper body is MUCH thinner. what diet are you doing, or are you just watching what you eat?

Thanks for noticing Denise!!!! I think positive reinforcement is really helpful!!!

I am not a good dieter, I can't stand to eat things that are low fat or fat free, I have never had to diet in my life until about 2 years ago. I think that that is why I don't know how to eat right. After I had Carli I was the thinnest I had ever been, I don't know why I started to gain weight but I just could not get motivated to take it off.

We are going on vacation w/DH's whole family in June and I am just sick of not looking good in any of my clothes or pictures. I got super motivated and saw a difference pretty quickly and that motivated me even more. I also ordered 3 new bathing suits that I LOVE and I so want to look nice in them at our new pool!!!

I am a Coke addict, I lived on Coke. I have totally given up Coke (unless we are out to eat, I'm not that good yet). I am drinking about 8 16 oz bottles of water a day or more, I think that is the biggest thing I am doing. I am also cutting back on snacking and eating MUCH smaller portions. I am also limiting our eating out. It doesn't sound like a lot but I think it is helping a ton. The more I lose the more I am scrutinizing what I am eating. I really need to start walking in the evening too, but I hate to walk alone. I am also trying to keep as motivated as possible and to do as much around the house so that I can keep my mind off of food and try to do things that will burn those calories!!!

Happy, Happy Birthday to Carli!

Amy -- I just now everything with the house will work out. You will find a new family to love your home.

Tammi -- glad you are home safe. Post pictures when you get a chance.

Dawn -- hope you get some sleep tonight. I didn't sleep much before either ultrasound. I already sent PD for a healthy baby, but sending more for the baby and for you a good night's sleep.

Elin -- still thinking of you. Be sure to let us know if we can do anything besides prayers and PD.

 

[Tammi67]

Thanks for all the welcome homes.

Jennifer - sorry about the house issues. I hope it turns around for you soon.

Amy - same with your house. Now is a good time to have it on the market though, with the nice weather and the end of the school year, people are starting to look.

June (Legalslave) requested a signature - she gave me NO guidance - so if she doesn't like Minnie -there could be a new one soon!!

That is really cute!!!

When is his birthday?

Oh, and who was it that blabbed to either Tammie or Deb?

Rees' appt with the GI doctor is tomorrow at 12:15pm EST. We'll talk about everything and try to figure out the best course of action to take. I'm hoping the doctor has decided what test to order so we can see about the Fundo and surgery. Rees did reflux tonight again (not as bad). He cried at the end of school today as he was stressing out over going to the doctor tomorrow.

One of the women I teach with (actually she is BK's teacher) is watching Davis and Brantley-Kate for me. John will meet us at the doctor. So if y'all can spare some prayers for him, I'd appreciate it.

June loved her signature -but actually would prefer Goofy

so if anyone wants the minnie signature - it is up for grabs - first come first serve!

Also cute

 

[julia & nicks mom]

June and I finally got the perfect signature for her!!

this also means that the goofy balloon one is available too!!

 

[triplefigs]

actually she slipped and accidentally let me know you were pregnant!

 

[Glynis]

Well, I had a lot of pages to get read since last night! I try to always get caught up, before I start posting!

I haven't downloaded the pictures I took today, but that place was great. I already told Kevin we need to buy a family membership.

On a disappointing note, things have fallen through with my friend buying our house. She had to file bankruptcy several years back, and unfortunately, the bank isn't ready to negotiate her finances the way she'd like. I guess we'll be contacting another friend, a realtor, this week.

Amy

I'm sorry that your friend won't be able to buy your house. That would have been perfect. Well, we'll just cross our fingers that your friend, the realtor, will be able to find someone who needs a wonderful (termite free) house with great kitchen counter space, right?????

 

[Steffy]

Anyone with a newer laptop: what do you have? and how do you like it??

I am going to get a new one in the next couple of weeks...not sure what to buy..

Kristine

Dell Inspiron E1705 with DVD burner 1 gig of memory 60 disk drive and tv tuner with remote control 17" wide screen

Sweet...

I was the same way Julie, relatively thin, and then BAM, I started putting on weight. I guess it comes with age, and a slower metabolism.

Along the Coke lines, I've heard that just cutting soda out of your diet can make a real difference. Good luck!
