Denice so sorry for your friends loss. and prayers for her family and yours.

So remember the baby shower you all were helping me with a few weeks ago, well I gave my girlfriend the task of coming up with the wording for the invites and this is it:

Because one daughter was so much fun,
Dana and Kevin thought they’d have another one!

New baby girl K**** is on the way
So we thought we’d help prepare for the big day;

It’s a Pamper party to start the fun
Diapers are requested for the little one

Please bring a pack of diapers, any size from 1 – 4
Because the thing with diapers is that you’ll always need more.

Or if diapers as a gift just isn’t your thing
Something to pamper mom is what you could bring;

Come celebrate the arrival of baby number two
On this day we will have lots of fun, we hope to see you.

Isn't that awesome! She said she looked at some of the invitation websites and kind of pulled it all together and she didn;t think it was all that good. Then we were talking about favors and I starting looking around the web and found these:

They are Diaper Pails and what makes it cool is that the favor from her 1st shower was a candle one as well to light when the baby was born. Now the question is do I do the metal one or pink ones, they are the same price?

That is so cute. I vote for pink pails.

We're down to 2 names and I'm interested to know which you like better and how many girls you know with these names. I checked the popular baby name lists and they're #22 and #82 (out of 100).

Anyway, the two names are Caroline and Lauren. The middle name is Elizabeth. Our last name will go well with all of them. I don't want to post it here but if you can't choose without knowing, PM me .

One name is DH and Christopher's favorite. The other is my favorite.

I like Lauren Eliizabeth.

Kate glad Nick was still enough for his EKG. Hopefully the test will be all good news.

Ok, I have a dilemma. I switched the reservation to ASMo and now John is very upset and mad. Turns out *HE* is the true resort snob, not me. And he's upset that Rees won't have the CM hotel, the monorail, and the MK View. So now I'm totally torn as what to do.

He says the $1600 is worth it for the convenience, the nicer rooms, view, and CM and the monorail for Rees. So should I just chalk it up and switch it back? I really don't know what to do.

Thanks.

You probably have already decided but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents... I'd stick with Toy Story... I know Rees loves the monorail but you can still ride it on MK visits... and eat at Chef Mickeys at the Contemporary.

$1600 is a LOT of money and you could use it for other stuff on your holiday or put it towards next year's trip...(or towards DVC!)

JMHO do with it what you wish


ETA - I read on - and see you've already switched back... and everyone else seemed to vote CR and gave good reasons too... You should definitely do what is best for you and your family - and if convenience and happiness is more important than the $$ then good for you and enjoy your stay in the Tower

Hi everyone!

We have been so busy around here. I'm still reading along.

I went to the Dr. today and had a great visit! My blood pressure is good, my blood sugar is good, and my Dr. is pleased with the way I'm progressing. I start going every 2 weeks now and because of my problems they're going to start monitoring the growth via ultrasound. I think it will just be a quick peek to count movements, but it's exciting to know I'll be seeing her so often. He said they're doing this now instead of stress tests twice a week. I'm so excited because I was on full bedrest by this time in my last pregnancy.

As I said we've been really busy around here. Brian's birthday was yesterday and we spent the morning in downtown Baton Rouge. They've been revitalizing it and it's becoming more of a cultural and artsy area. Brian and Christopher went on the USS Kidd (a battleship) then we did some other "touristy" type things.

Sunday we went to a birthday party to see Cars. We all thought it was great! Christopher sat in front of us with the other kids and I thought we'd have problems with him getting up and coming to us (he usually gets antsy in movies) but he was glued to the screen. He was so disappointed that we didn't go back and see it again yesterday. I promised to take him back soon. We're also in the process of collecting all of the hotwheels type cars and the Happy Meal cars.

I feel like I'm living out of my car these days since we're on the go so much. Another month and I'll be able to take it easy until the baby comes. My wonderful MIL gave me a break today and took Christopher this afternoon.

Dawn glad to see you post. Glad your pregnany is going so well. Brain hope you had a terrific birthday.

Great job Clare. While I don't doubt the power of DDA I would venture that some of it was your hard work so (insert applause here) congratulations.

Well I suppose that working my butt off may have contributed a little towards it


ETA: Thanks to everyone else for the congrats too

 

[Tammi67]

I'm so sorry Paula. I will be praying for you and the family.

 

[bear74]

Okay DDA My family needs your prayers.

A little back ground. MY brother and his ex girl friend have a son together. she also had a son when she started dating my Brother. they broke up and she moved out in Dec. My mom watches the boys from 1:30 p.m. til my brother gets off work at arounf 5 p.m.
Well Monday night he stayed late at our parents house working on his truck. so my mom took him home to shower and then drove him over to her place so he could put the kids to bed. THe ex had to stay late at work because they were coming to wax the floor at the store and they had to do it after the store closed. so she got home around 2 am. My brother then walked the mile to his house. and went to bed. When my Dad went to pick him up yesterday morn. Their was a note taped to his door. It said for him to stay away from R**** and the kids or else.Well last night my mom took him by his house to turn on the AC before she took him to R's house with the boys. She gets home and he walks home. their is a note on his door again this one saying DO you know what I am going to do to you?About an hour later one of his friends called and he walked outside to talk on his cell phone to her because he does not get good reception in his house and their is another note taped to his door. This one said BOOM YOUR DEAD. after this one he finally called the cops. He told R**** about the first note and she said she would tell one of her cop friends about it. but he was off duty.
I am really worried about my brother. I am so hoping the cops find this person before he does. The cops said that these are considered terroistic threats.

Denise - I just visited Jacob's site... he was a beautiful boy and I am so sorry for your friend's loss. I think it is a lovely idea that they are doing a balloon release at the ceremony.

This is a vent and you do not need to read this, I am just up to my armpits in …..BLAH!!!



Yesterday it’s Katie has passed and today it’s mil SIL (the one in MI who has cervical cancer) has been given two weeks to two years. *** is going on!!!!

I know God has a plan and we have no clue what it is, but honestly! This is a bit much for two days. I had decided this morning that I would put my tears aside for Katie and make the day the best we could because you should live everyday to the fullest and then we get another crappy phone call. That’s it!!!! I am not answering the phone again today or tomorrow!!! Maybe I should just have the stupid thing disconnected, ok that’s not reality but wow am I done with sad news.



So here some my feelings as of now



Thank you for reading this and letting me vent.

Jennifer - that's scary - I hope the police manage to catch the person writing the notes

Hope the cops figure out quickly who it is.

Morning y'all - no time to catch up on last night's fun - I need to go into work early.

Just thought I'd stop by to say... I got my results for my last two papers yesterday... the ones I thought I would fail.

Well the grade system is 1 for a fail and 6 for a you did great ,go to the top of the class...

well I got a 5 for one paper and a 6 for the other!!?!?!?!?!?!? That's a 6 overall for that class I tell you that DDA pixie dust does some POWERFUL things!

I'm so proud of myself I can't stop grinning... although I'm also sure they're going to call me and tell me they got the papers muddled up

So I passed both of my classes for this semester with flying colours - and I'm now on a break until October for the next two classes.

Have a good day everyone

CONGRATS!

With all the sad news last night I forgot to post about Hunter's last game of the season. He plays Rec league so the games are more like scrimages, but to him it was a huge game. In the first inning he was playing second base. With one out he caugt a pop fly and tagged second base to make a double play. He was so proud of himself. Because of his great outfielding the couches picked him to be up first. He had a good hit and made it to second base. He scored the first run for his team. 2nd inning he had a nice play at short stop. They reversed the batting order so he was up last. Another nice hit and he drove in a run. Third inning. His best friend was at bat and he hit a line drive to Hunter at third base. He fielded it and tagged 3rd base to get the last out of the inning. He was up first again and made it to second, then scored another run. We don't really keep score, but I know that Hunter's team killed the other team. Hunter's team batted through their order all 3 innings and the other team got 3 outs before batting through their batting order. My parents were both there and Chris's Mom, boyfriend and aunt came too. He was so happy, a very nice ending to a short season. He was floating on Next year they will play against neighboring towns, although we may put him in lacrosse instead.

CONGRATS HUNTER!! great job!

That is so scary. For your brother. It must be someone that has intentions towards the ex girlfriend. Does she have any ideas on who it could be?
