aww, are you going to try to make it next year Suzie?! I wear XL t-shirts right now, but by June I may be back in moomoos!!!!! I went to Cato's the other day to try to find some longer maternity shirts (don't exist damn it), and they don't carry Maternity in store.. so I just bought 22/24 shirts.. they're big and blousy on me. More frumpy.. but at least it covers up the stupid panel on my pants.

Haydee- that would be hard, we were planning (originally) to do a wedding outside at our botanical gardens, and this was like 8 months in advance I was stressing about 'if it rains...', I really thought planning an outdoor wedding was a bad idea, especially in the south! They had last minute plans to move it indoor if we had to, but I really didn't like that option and we were just crossing out fingers. I've told you before, I don't know how you deal with brides.. yuck!!!!

Woohoo @ under 200 Tracy, and glad you're all alright! Happy Birthday Denise!!! And Terry, your son may be gaining weight because.. he's getting older :mad2: I have noticed men eat like pigs, and their metabolism takes a drop in the late teens/early 20's. (From all the guys I've been friends with-and Russ!) Just got back from the chiro. He said my right leg is 2" off (shorter than left) which is how it's always been, not 2" but it's always been off. And he said my tail bone is curving to the left. So he did some adjustments--which he does in a pit kind of thing, other patients wait in chairs around the table and he talks and blah blah with everyone. He had to let out the middle for my belly, so my belly is hanging out, my pants rolled down and with every pop I'm jiggling lol.. I looked a mess. I did feel slightly better. Not all better, but I'd say 10% better-which is SOMETHING. He said my neck & shoulders were knotted and asked if they hurt--I said no. He tried to do some adjustments on it, but they wouldn't pop/budge so it ended up hurting and he said "I guess I should have just listened to you!" heh. I remember that too, chiro's always think something is wrong with my neck & shoulders. I go back again tomorrow. Hopefully he can get my pelvis lined up again. I got a month to get it done!

I wonder if it is like 'cutters', or some other disorder where it's not that you enjoy it, it's that you think that's what you deserve (to eat ice cream that you no longer even enjoy, just cause it'll keep you from your goal).. or just mindless eating. Or blah blah blah. You understand the problem, now get it out of the house. If Macy or Frank want some, have them hide cookies, or get a single cone when they're out so they don't tempt you. You can do it girl!!!!!! I know you can. Out of sight, out of mind.

YAY Michelle!! I am so jealous, I wish I could go tomorrow for a fill. I e-mailed my band doc, his doc assist, and his nurse.. and explained my worries about the chest pains & loss of restriction, etc. to see if they have any thoughts on it--should I get fluero when I come for a fill in May, etc. Waiting to hear back, I hate that I have a feeling they will say come in before that; but with my back hurting, there's no way in hell I'm riding in a car for 6 hours. I just can't do it. Because of this, I wasn't going to mention anything to them till the time came (who knows, it all may go back to normal by then)--but Russell was lecturing me at lunch yesterday, and I know if something were to happen and I didn't contact them, it'd turn into an "I told you so" thing. Oby called me back, by time she did, I already made an appt. with my old chiro (back from high school)-my mom said when she went to him he mentioned he was doing adjustments for his wife during her pregnancy, so I thought I'd ask.. the lady I talked to explained he actually does a lot of pregnant women, and told me the benefits of it in general (easier deliveries, etc.) she gave me warm fuzzies, so I am going there tomorrow morning first thing!! When oby called, she said (was the nurse) they don't really have anyone they recommend, that they could try the Spine Care center.. so I told her I made an appt. and if that doesn't work out, I'll have them call me into the Spine Care center. They called me in a bottle of Lortab though and she told me to take it sparingly only when I really need it--I know when this time is, after I've slept some, I am at that desperate place I use to be in when I had bad back problems and am willing to cut my legs off with a knife.. only this time it's my hips.

Sounds like ya'll are describing the Sandals resort we went to. They shuttle you to the Beaches resorts, everything is all inclusive, the drivers give you a heart attack, etc. Must be the Mexican version of Sandals! Another turmoily day at work :biggrin: I called my obgyn at 8am and left a message with the nurse asking if they have a preggo chiro they can recommend..still haven't called me back, I hate hate hate doc offices that do voicemail instead of answering the damn phone.

Hah, ok I caught up with it.. still curious what your response is, but I saw what the OP was.. What'd you say? Remember I told ya'll how I went thru and found all these customers' customers, and then blah blah, they made me send out a retraction today (an official one, drawn up by our old customer). It ends up this is all kinds of miscommunications. They do still owe us lots of money and we are still going to go after their customers--just a different way. So after I send out all these retractions, I am to keep going through all the files and go after the 'rest' of their customers but not use their name. The joys of my job I guess.

Heather- I know it's mean, but I'm a lil glad you're gaining weight because it makes me not feel so bad about mine. When I was crying about the weight I was gaining you were going "Oh I lost 2lbs this week!".. I know, I'm bad. Misery loves company?!! Don't hold it against me!! Now we can lose it together I rarely read the threads that cause a stink unless things get reported. Or I'm really bored, but then I don't read the 50 pages before, I catch up on the last 2. But since you just posted the link, now I will go look. Bwhahaha. I have only revoked people's memberships for spam reasons.. I don't like to make judgement calls on people being mean and inappropriate (although without looking at the thread, I bet you didn't post anything inappropriate, you are very level headed---that's why I know you will laugh at the first part of my post and understand the humor :crying: ) Doh, went to look at it and thread is deleted. You musta been a bad girl.

My sister told me a blip about L Word.. not happy about it, but I stopped her so she didn't ruin anything. She said it says to log into the website for the next couple weeks to find out who killed Jenny?!?! REALLY?! They have the series finale and don't wrap everything up? What about in 20 years if someone wants to watch season of this show and the website tellin ya isn't up anymore? That just pisses me off.

Since you said you wouldn't mind it in private--but not downloaded.. Not sure how a temporary files folder just pops up--but temporary files store things that you just looked at. For example, if you go to Sally's Porn site, just to look at it, your temporary internet files will fill up with Sally porn site stuff.. if you go to LBT, your temp. internet files will fill up with LBT logos, data, etc. It's not that you downloaded it, temp. internet files just store themselves without you knowing. (Good way to spy on your kids). So if your big qualm was that he 'downloaded' it, if it's in the temp files--he didn't download it, he just went and looked at it.

I haven't watched L Word yet.. I watched Big Love, I am just shocked about Nikki. And when in the midst of it all, she was running to Ray apologizing and trying to talk to him--not her husband.. I was like rut roh. Poor Bill, the drama in his life never ends!!

LOL Haydee!!! When I was younger my family would drive up to Chattanooga for the weekend, only 1.5 hours away.. Ruby Falls, (brain fart) some mountain that was really cool, and Chattanooga ChooChoo. I have great childhood memories of going there, and I still try to get Russ to go there (I guess life gets too busy sometimes). Sometimes just down the road is a fun vacation!! Room service & turn down service are a plus too. I'm going to CATO's today to see if I can find some new maternity shirts. I am SO TIRED of everything being too short. You can be tall... you can be pregnant.. you can NOT be tall and pregnant. Everyone says they see my belly panel, so I tug and tug and no shirts will come down long enough.. I am flooding horribly, my pants dance around my shins.. I just look a mess.

Same as Heather--haven't been there, so I don't know. But if you look through the pregnancy section of this forum, I know Breastfeeding with the band has come up on at least 2 occasions with many response, so you could go reference there for info..

Uhm, it does matter and no legitimate doctor will band you while pregnant.

I bought a bag of mini cadbury eggs a couple weeks ago and consumed them all in 3 days. Shh... I'm not as good as you Judy! I have NO restriction the past couple of days.. paired with the chest pain, I'm afraid something happened to my band :confused: I'm praying and praying it's just funky with baby pressure, and it will work fine when it's just my stomach in there.. Off to bed, hate this time change

I'll always have time for my V's!!

Cruise sounds great!! I'm hoping that feedback thing doesn't become a permanent fixture, it is annoying. Back is bad as ever, I did my exercises last night, then I was in the kitchen and felt what reminded me of a bubble bursting in my right hip.. OY. I hurt so bad.. Russell gave me a massage last night, I was almost in tears I hurt so bad.. the massage felt so good, I cried some tears of relief.. then I didn't want to move, so he took my glasses off and I fell asleep.. woke up all throughout the night in pain.. took a hot bath around 3am. Woke up, it's as if nothing changed :laugh: I was counting the weeks, if this doesn't go away till Carson is here, that's going to be a while.. but I've dealt with it for 2 weeks now.. This is definitely turning me off from wanting to get pregnant again!!! I also worry about how this will affect giving birth.. If I still hurt like this, it's impossible to pull my legs up and I can't bend at all. I would not feel 'bad' for having to do a c-section, all I care is that he's healthy and safe!! My doc does not want to do c-section on me unless it's an emergency due to the pelvic kidney though. People at work, I told them about Grady and how BIG he is (they don't know who I'm talking about)!! One girl said her sister had 3x 10+lb babies, ALL NATURAL. Ow.. Cat just let out horrendous gas, got to evacuate the computer room (gag).

Hoping it is temporary..

They look great on you!!

Yes, Kampyle is a software for websites to offer feedback forms.. It's safe ) I personally don't put my e-mail in blanks like that (but it says that is optional) just in case they sign you up for junk mail.

I don't have specifics, but don't worry it is NOT a virus-- it is part of the site added recently (although I'm hoping temporarily).

Been dealing with this customer thing all day, God what a headache!!!!!!!! I can't wait for the day to be over. Uhmmm the BF class is to teach you how to overcome certain problems if they arise, and I have some issues I want to address (it's just a 1x class for 2 hours). The people who do the class are the same ones who help you in the hospital, but I guess I want to ease my mind ahead of time. (I think their official title is Lactation Consultant???) But as the day is going on and I'm dealing with correcting this snafu, I am really glad I'm not going to the class tonight. I can not wait to go home, put pajamas on.. maybe take a hot bath for my poor back. Maybe find some Dairy Queen on the way home. This has been an unusually busy/annoying Friday. Normally Fridays drag on forever with nothing to do.. not today! And I've had to go back to the plant several times, and I hobble and cringe with every step.. and of course everyone likes to point out the waddle.

Suppose to have breastfeeding class tonight.. I never got anything in the mail (telling me where to go), so I called to get the info.. she said "It shows you called in and cancelled the class". Derrr.. I said "Ok, well I didn't!" So she's like "Well it says you did".. again I said "Ok, but I didn't!" so they are putting me in a March 30th class. I don't really care, except that she kept arguing with me to tell me I called in and cancelled.. and even telling me she'll fax me the notes that say I did...... but I didn't!!

You're going to see Reba Haydee? THE Reba? I love Reba! I saw her in concert for my 11th birthday with my granny.. back when she had the big poofy hair. And I loved her TV show.. So at work, they had me go through boxes and boxes of files (the trend right now, is our customers going out of business owing us 100's of thousands) so to recoup, we're seeing if we can figure out who their customers were (by looking at old orders) and going after them directly. So I spent most of yesterday going through files, finding customer's customers names.. and calling on them. So I get an e-mail this morning from the main customer saying "Quit telling our customers we're out of business" ?!?!?!?! So I go back to the person who had me doing this, and she's like "Oh yeah.. I guess that one branch is still open, and we do work for them sometimes"--- Not anymore!! Can't believe she didn't tell me that, I am emberassed. I was trying to help us recoup our losses, now we look like bad vendors trying to steal our customer's customer (which is a HUGE no-no in the industry). Our last parenting class was last night, I asked the teacher (she is an RN) about my chest pains, she disclosed it with "You should still call your doctor" but she said it sounds like reflux. I told her I DO have heartburn, this is not heartburn pain.. she said there's a difference (I didn't know that?). Anyway, last night it happened when I slept on my RIGHT side. But when I move from that side the pain stops--I was awake when I felt the pain coming on from being on that side. She also was talking about how for the first 2 weeks people are coming in and out of your house 'helping'. I am kind of anxious about that, on one hand I will like having like my mom/granny there to show me what to do--on the other hand, I know it will make me feel 'watched' and akward, and I'll have a hard time settling into my own routine with them there. Russell agreed he's going to take off a week at least in the beginning, he can work from home if needed, but so I'll have him there to help me. Work is busy, we've already got big re-orders for that job I e-mailed ya'll about (the American Idol guy), so I guess his CD is selling! Having my morning hot chocolate... hope ya'll have a good day! OH and Pam, no I haven't heard of that place. I don't actually 'play' Secondlife, so I don't know about things going on there unless I read about it in the news (like the government campaigns, protests, rallys, concerts, etc. etc.) I just own some land, I built a store on it, I make clothes--upload the clothes, adjust & fit them.. put them in a box and set them for sale. Watch the money roll in!

Overall my allergies have gotten better, I was literally filling up a medium sized trash can every night with tissues, now i only need about 2-3 tissues at night and when it wakes me up I can easily go back to sleep. I'm only taking the allergy meds they gave me as needed (every other day), and then they gave me a steroid nasal spray to take every day until Carson comes along.. so I do that too. Last night my hand rash flared up, it's a ton of bumps that are now raw and bleeding.. not sure what triggered that. I don't think I thought to bring up the hands thing at the allergist, maybe I should have.
