Oh and pretzels and peanuts at a shower??? What the hey? Is that normal? We are overeaters and overcookers in my family. And judy, what happened at church, I'm dying to know. Jane, did you actually eat the fly or spit it out? Michelle, oh no, the no contact for a few days wouldn't fly with me. Ill have to learn but luckily I still have a few more years before they go off by themselves for anything. Actually my moms a worrier and she never dealt with it, lol. We still have to call and check in so she knows we are ok. Maybe its because we are all girls??? Well regardless, we try to avoid her worrying about us by just texting saing we are fine or a quick call. Pam, I hope you got through your papers quickly. Nothing worse than having to work through something so monotnuous on a gorgeous summer day. I know I didn't even come close to spelling that correctly, lol. The office smells like french fries today. Yummmmmm

And all of a sudden I'm lactose intolerant??? I love milk and ice cream and cheese and now when I eat it my tummy HURTS... what's up with that?? Lol. Juan bought me a gallon of ice cream a month ago and I've only had a few bites. Normally I can finish it in a few days!

Uhg, I've been sleeping like poop lately too. I'm a belly sleeper and for two weeks now it hurts to sleep on my belly so I toss and turn all night. I wake up a few times a night too to pee and have a hard time going back to sleep. Someone told ne not to drink anything past 6 but who can do that??? I get home from work around 630 or 7 and then have dinner to make ect... I have to keep drinking... No, I'm not showing yet Jane. I just look fatter, lol. My belly is hardening and my boobs are getting big. That's pretty much it so far. I lost 2 pounds which is weird because I'm getting enough to eat. My doctor called me and told me that my bloodwork showed a risk for down's. So now we have to go see a specialist in two weeks to get genetic testing and a 2nd level ultrasound. They told me I could have an amnio done but we just think, what for? Whatever happens, happens. She told me that the results were common and most turn out ok. I just don't want to worry about it until we know for sure anything is wrong. I have another regular ultrasound tomorrow and she said maybe we might be able to see boy or girl. I'm excited. We already picked out a boy name. The girl name I've had forever and juan was good with the name when I told him.

I'm like you jane, I'm a worrier. To me no news equals bad news! Juan gets on me all the time about it but I can't help it, just my nature... And what he says is true. There's nothing you accomplish by worrying so why do it. But still... Laura, ooh id be pissed about the diapers. I went down the diaper aisle the other day while grocery shopping and I about passed out!! Everything is soooo expensive!!

Jane, I would ask for credit card in order to hold her spot and tell her she will be charged a cancellation fee. I really truly can't believe the disrespect of some people. Everyones time is so valuable and not showing up repeatedly is so rude! So I'm so so glad its Friday! Juans grandma is coming home this weekend and we are having a small party to celebrate... Laura, how is carson doing? I dreamt that we were having lunch in the breakroom and I was asking you if he felt better since you were at work today. Weird huh?? I hope judy is feeling better!

Judy, sending you prayers that all went well! Michelle, have a safe trip! I'm at work and grumpy today. Now that we merged bank accounts its a little rough at first to reconcile my checking account. Three payments went through without me knowing and it made my account go into negative. Grrrrr. I wish juan would have reminded me about his bank drafts so I could make sure we had enough in there to cover. Luckily everything went through but they hit us with two nsf fees. Double grrrrrrrrr.... I think I'm going to turn the checking account responsibility over to him and see how he likes not knowing what's in and out. Sigh... I kinda liked our separate accounts better.

Oh I didn't mean hold on to it long enough to pass it down to my own kids. I just meant pass it down to siblings ect. We are the first to have babies on both sides and I just figured if we bought a really nice one everyone can have use out of it. But now that I'm thinking about it we all have such different tastes and who's to say anyone is gonna want a hand me down crib, even a really nice one? So reconsidering it we will more than likely just get a nice practical one. The narural science museum has a corpse flower that is supposed to be rwally rare. Its huge and due to bloom tonight or tomorrow. They have the museum open 24 hrs so people can come look at it. We are gonna head over there after dinner tonight and look at it. Its supposed to smell like a dead corpse when it blooms. Oh joy. Juan wants to go so bad so we shall go...

Yay janie! Congrats on the job. Its normal to feel nervous but I think you'll do great! Laura, what a scary dream! I've dreamt that I forget to feed my baby all day or that I forget to change his diaper. Also some really bad ones but I don't like saying them out loud. Thanks for the book recs michelle. I haven't updated my kindle since my honeymoond. Mostly I've been reading baby books but those are filled with such scary stuff too. They go week by week and what things could possibly go wrong for each time frame. Its good to be informed but my goodness, I'm a wreck when I put it down thinking of all the stuff that could go wrong. Judy, thinking of you today as you get ready for tomorrow. Will be sending prayers for a quick recovery afterwards... Nothing much going on for me. Just working and I keep looking at baby stuff online at night when I get home. We are trying to decide on nursery furniture which is something you can buy that's gender neutral. I really want a nice heirloom quality piece of furniture but juan is just not convinced. I want to pass it on after my children are done with it but he would rather just get one we use and then discard. The horrors! Lol...

No BB for me. I think I watched the first few seasons then no more. My g1 went kaput a few months ago so I have the motorola blur. Its basically the same phone as the g1... Pool was great, I was in it allll weekend. My mom made mole for us Saturday and my dad grilled steaks and corn on Sunday. My hair is really taking a beating with the sun and the salt from the pool. Janie, tell me what to do so my hair isn't like straw... Michelle, how was toy story?? I've been wanting to go see it. Oh I also wanna see despicable me. Heard that one was hilarious. Has anyone seen that one? I've been having strange dreams lately. They are very vivid as soon as i am waking up but I forget them as soon as I am fully awake. Don't know if that makes sense... Another crazy day at work today... I'm so hungry and its barely eleven!

Happy birthday pam! Love you! I'm so glad its Friday... I've got lots of swimming planned for this weekend... I needed to put away two baskets of laundry but that can wait till Monday. I'm such a procrastinator...

Happy birthday michelle!!! I hope you have a wonderful day today! Rain rain rain over here. Ugh, my brother in law got a new girlfriend and I haven't even met her and already I can't stand her. I loved the previous girl he was with and he just broke up with her about a month ago. This new girl he's only been going out with for about two weeks and they're slobbering all over each other on facebook. How do you tell someone you love them after being with them for two weeks? And it would be one thing if he was like 20 or something but he's 33 for goodness sakes! Ugh, must be my hormones. I had to block him off my facebook... Anyways, what else... I haven't started nesting yet. The baby's room is still our junk room. Tons of stuff in there. I really need to get in there this weekend and start slowly clearing it out. Still looking for a good camera. And I know a few of y'all have flips. Can I get away with buying the cheapy one or should I get the HD one? Or there is a new kodak one, have y'all heard anything about it?

The book sounds good judy, ill have to download it. Brats and sauerkraut are out. We had that at the cookout on Sunday and then again for leftovers on Monday. I don't get what's mexicany about them or the joke went over my head? A sandwich spread actually is probably the way ill go. Ill stop at the deli and get lots of good lunch meats and cheese and have everyone help themselves. That way I have to do nothing. Just pull stuff out of the fridge once we finish praying. Its so nasty over here. Been storming most of the day. Gross. I'm so read to get home! I want to just take a little nap before we have to leave the house again... good thing tonight is across the street at my mother in laws house... Everyone have a great night...

Judy, have a safe ride up there. I have confidence that you will continue to do great even with the unfill. I think that you starting weight watchers and sticking to it will make it a little easier to handle. Plus even when I got my unfill I still would feel full fast because I think our stomachs shrink a little bit. The first thing I did was chug a big bottle of water. Oh how I missed doing that. Pam, oh I caught your abbreviation. I have a pair of red heels that have that stenciled on the soles! Love them, lol Laura, are you having any aversions to food right now? My 8th week was the worst. I ate watermelon all the live long day. How are you feeling? Michelle, your day with your daughter sounded lovely! I haven't done much with my mom in a few weeks and I'm missing her... Jane, your thumb hurts again!! That sucks!! I thought the cortizone shot was supposed to help for at least awhile, not just a day! Hope it feels better soon. Oh! I need help please. In juans family after a death in the family they get together to pray for the soul of the deceased for two weeks after the death. So we all go from house to house every night for two weeks and we pray for about an hour and then eat dinner. We hosted once already and now its our turn again this Friday. I'm looking to make something simple, that I can throw together after I get off of work. Dinner is never fancy, just basic. But my mind is blank... what would be good? most order pizza but I'm so sick of pizza. We've had it twice already this week. Understandable since most people work and run home and its just easier to call for pizza...

Laura, not even with carson? Hopefully at your 20 week one things will run smoother. How many weeks are you? I'm 14 tomorrow. Pam, ahh your day sounds lovely. My hair is a mess. My roots are so bad since my hair grows so fast. Gray hair everywhere. And I haven't had a chance to do a pedicure since the Thursday before the wedding. I've been so busy. My nails look like crap right now.

Duh! I'm so challenged sometimes, lol. Oh and hearing the heartbeat for the first time just turns your world upside down doesn't it? Me and juan were both in tears and I couldn't stop bawling long enough for her to get a good recording.

Gah, I'm so glad I didn't lose that post. My service has been spotty here at the office. I hate hate hate typing on my phone... anyhoo

I've never tried to make it but the way they make it at a restaurant we like is just a little butter then fresh parmesan sprinkled on top. They serve it with broiled fish. Its so good. Me, my dad and juan always get the same thing. Janie, I am no help with your car lock. I am so mechanically challenged. I'm glad your thumb appt went well. Ill be thinking of you during your interview. Laura, love the u/s pic. Did you scan it or is it from a cd? I want to show y'all mine... Now that I'm in my 2nd trimester I don't even feel pregnant. Cravings and nausea all gone. No baby bump. Nothing at all, just feeling hungry all the time. Feeling a lot sensitive though. Hormonal. I don't like feeling like this. I should be so happy...

Hi good morning everyone. I hope everyone had a lovely time yesterday. We got home Saturday afternoon and yesterday went to my moms house for bbq and swimming. I napped off and on most of the day and then we walked down to the golf course for the fireworks display. Our trip was nice under the circumstances that we went. Her service was Thursday and it was beautiful. Her girls stood strong and seemed ok but I think its because the house was chock full of family. we stayed up late and I baked cookies with them and we all had a nice time but I'm sure its gonna be hard now that the house is empty and they have to go back to "normal" whatever that means now. Juans granma stayed with them and the whole family vowed to try to go visit often. Their dad is bringing them to houston for a two week vacation once school let's out so the girls are excited about that. I'm doing good, feeling good so far. Eating like a cow unfortunately. I gained 5 pounds! Ugh. I'm only supposed to gain 25 for my whole pregnancy! I'm only 13 weeks out! I'm back to veggies and fruit now that we are home. Jane, thank you for my card! It was a lovely surprise in my mailbox. Pam, also thank you for my card and pics. Also a lovely surprise. Juan saw the pics and he loved them. I'm going to frame them and put some on the coffee table. I have to go back and catch up on everything I missed. Can y'all believe I had to work today?? This sucked! Oh well... back to work for me but ill be back later.

Hi my violets... feeling a little blue today. We had a wonderful weekend. We were able to get away to the beach for a few days so that was nice. Not much else here. Looking into flights so we can go be with juans family in mexico. We might leave tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day today. Hugs and kissed...

Although, I've been slacking in that department lately, lol. I hardly ever cook anymore since his mom is across the street and yesterday he was getting out of the shower and I went to go grab him an underwear out of his drawer and he had none! He went to bed in swim trunks, lol...

Oh I know, I've spoken to other girls who are barely getting their first peek right now at week 12. But at least everything is back to normal with me. My cyst hasn't grown and they're predicting that it will be ok. Aww poor baby carson... but I'm glad he's finally getting tubes in. My sister erika got them when she was a baby too. Pam, the only thing that has changed is that I feel we love each other more now more than before. Before we were married we loved each other and things between us werr great but now I feel like its a stronger love. I don't know how to explain it. I think its because we are committed to each other and the option to not love and understand each other is not there anymore. And also with the baby coming so soon after. I think that plays a big part too. But other than that nothing has changed. Still come home and cook him his dinner and wash his undies just like always, lol.

Good morning! Busy busy Friday for me! Jane, I think anytime you talk to someone on the phone they want to charge you... I'm glad you got it all worked out. E Michelle, yeah you're lucky that your son hasn't shown interest before now for facebook. I know lots of young kids, like 12, that already have them. Sounds like you had a great day yesterday judy! And another great day today. Enjoy your grandbabies! Pam, isn't that show a hoot! So much drama and constant bickering. I don't know why you would even continue hanging out with these people if everyone dislikes each other so much. I wonder if that really happens in real life? Well actually I'm sure it does but it shouldn't. Oh and yes we are sharing when we find out the sex of the baby. We are super ready but have to wait 4 more weeks. I'll miss having an ultrasound every two weeks though. I was getting spoiled. I looked forward to it everytime. Ok, well off I go to find some breakfast. I gained 3 pounds these past few days. NOT GOOD. I'm only supposed to gain 25 my whole pregnancy. I've been eating too many damn cheetos. I'm back to having to watch what I eat since my hunger returned full force these past few days. Last night I went out to dinner at one of my favorite places and I usually have this wonderful fish smothered in a super rich butter sauce but instead I had a big greek salad. I'm back on the wagon,lol. The aversion to food didn't last long enough. Sorry for the novel...I get off on these tangents sometimes! Ha ha... off to get some toast

Ulrasound went great! My little bean is growing and moving so much. He/she had the hiccups and you could see it jumping, lol. Off to meet my mom for dinner!

Dolores, after 43 years I'm sure marriage is a piece of cake, LOL. Why not 43 more?! Suzie! I'm so sorry for what you're going through. And she was your first! Poor girl must have been really messed up by her parents. Well just know that you tried your best and she needs more help than you could provide for her. Are you gonna try again at a later date or are you done?? Housewives show is one of our guilty pleasures too. Me and juan love them all. Well, he doesn't really like the jersey girls. Can't find anything worthwhile about any of them. But he has his favorites from all the cities... ny is probably my favorite. Nothing much on tv during the summer.

Happy birthday judy!!! Hope you have a great day! Happy anniversary delo!!! 43 years is fantastic!! Rainy and gloomy here this morning. Would have rather stayed in bed.... I have another ultrasound scheduled today. Can't wait!
