Ohh Terry that WAS fun!!! I miss it :thumbs_up: :thumbup:

I can't wait till June.. or April for that matter hehe.

Russell was breathing on me last night, I kept wanting to tell him to roll over, but I felt bad because he was being like a kid.. kept moaning and whining and asking me to fix it, and grabbing my arm and whining some more. I got him gatorade & chili, he was able to keep it down last night, but he woke up throughout the night sick and this morning he is still sick. So is Gracie!! It's like clockwork, every morning at 8am she throws up twice. Gah. Luckily, I am up by then and she starts heaving next to my head, so I hold her over the trashcan and she has been puking in there (cute huh?). I am getting her anti-nausea meds today too.

I had a funny dream last night, I was in a grocery store, buying groceries I needed. Then I got to the cupcake counter, and I had to have a cupcake--they were $.59 each. Then I realized I lost my buggy--with my purse! So I'm half-heartedly running around trying to find it, but meanwhile picking up change off the ground.. so I can at least get a cupcake if I never find my purse again. Finally found the purse, an old lady had it.. and she wouldn't give it back, I ended up chasing her outside and she turned to dust in the sun.. Mmmhm. Never did get my cupcake, I think the old woman turning to dust woke me up.

Now THAT's interesting, Laura... it must be the "weird baby dreams"!!

The tree cutters are here... yay, I get to work for a month to pay off that bill... so motivating... not.

Morning Girlies~

I was sooo late this morning, working out I had sooo much fun, I stayed longer than I should have on "wash the hair day". Next week, I will have to cut it down by 10-15 min to just make it to bus duty.

Laura, funny dream. Susie, what does the dream book say about cupcakes and old ladies who turn to dust?

Kat, I am glad you and Rick made peace (even a little) on the blessed day. Your relationship is NOT w/ SOB, but w/ Abbey and Corvin (is that right). I still say he needs a purple ass kickin'!

OK...gotta boogey, just wanted to pop in!

Maybe Suzanne can translate your dream from the book I sent in her SS gift!!! It was pretty wierd, I centered her gift around dreams, all because of a comment posted months before. But the day she got it, she said she didn't know whether to open it or not, and the next day she said she had a DREAM about what was in it!!! I told her she had to open it then, so she could find out what the dream meant!! LOL

Yes, I too am glad Rick had the talk with her while he was present, I know he seriously wanted to confront him and cause a scene, but he loves Abbey too much to upset her that way, at the time it was.

The baby is sweet, and he seems so big! The last several in our family have been teeny tiny things! And to see him in the nursery next to a 6 pounder he was dwarfing her! So glad, he thrived despite the troubles she had early on through the first and second trimester with the placenta bleeding. It was a real relief to see him here and healthy. I kept telling myself through it all, if there were problems, the little guy was being born into the right family, Abbey could handle anything but it is such immense relief. And while Rick is still upset, he is over it for the most part. He called me a few minutes ago, and said he was going to send a guy for a part over by the hospital, but he was thinking of going himself, and just stopping in---what did I think? I told him, that is our plan so DO IT! Haven't heard back from him yet. Last night no one was there but us, today his Mommy, and others will likely be there.

My Mom got on to me yesterday for making fun of SOL's relationship with his Mommy!! She has seen it, just in a less frequent or up close way. I told her I was sorry, but the relationship was wierd, she still cuts his food for him! Which is not frequently...only when they have Breakfast actually....because she mixes his eggs and hashbrowns just right! Other than that the only things he eats (dead serious here) are cheeseburgers with lots of ketchup, and cheese pizza---the cheap frozen kind is his favorite. And he microwaves flour tortillas with ketchup in them. He eats NO vegetables or fruit of any kind! Besides the hashbrowns. She cuts the crust off his toast....AND I refer to her as his Mommy because HE does! My Moms eyes got big, and she said, thats a little nauseating!! My Mom sees good in everyone, so her saying that was hilarious!

His family dynamics are strange. His Father seems to only tolerate him, often acting appalled by things same as we do. He looks just like his Dad tho! Wierd bunch my DD chose. She always has chose wierd friends, and music, and art.....she definitely marches to the beat of a different drummer. I always appreciated that about her until him!! LOL

They are just going to make us stutter more as a family with his name!! We have an abundance of C & K names! At Christmas Eve we laughed because sitting at the kids table were Keegen, Kelcie, Kinsey, Connor, Kolton, and Kaydee. Not at the table and still among the young cousins were Caitlynn, Casey, Kyle, & now Corvin! For a long time without intending all our girls began with A's--------now this is developing without intention either. The only 2 who were named purposely that way were Kolten & Kaydee, my nieces youngest 2.

Sounds as bad as the Duger family on TV---18 kids and all begin with J---they were joking on another thread the other day that the next on #19 is going to be named Justanother Dugan!!! Made me laugh!

Well I think I am going to lunch with my friend Marie--we both need the down time, she is going through crap with her addicted DD again. Poor thing.

And I need to go get some elliptical time in, I vowed on the exercise thread to get some sort of moving in today!!! And if I don't put myself out there, I won't do it!

Everyone have a great day!!!

Good morning........... couldn't get on earlier.

scale was the same.... Terry I got your Facebook posting in my email! LOL!!!!!!!

I have not had one drop of Water yet.. I need to get busy!

[Daisalana 33]

That does sound weird Kat, and just the other day I was talking to Russ about something and I told him how it's inappropriate for a grown man to call his mom 'mommy'. I don't remember what brought it up, but I think that's CREEPY!!

I think Rick should swing by too :thumbs_up:

So is he bigger, because he was overdue??

Went to this Japanese place that opened up down the road--Russ can't eat there, so took the opportunity to get some to go. They have the best ever (i've said this a lot lately but really) salad, with the ginger dressing. Mmmmmmm. I could eat this all day every day. I also got a crunchy shrimp roll & some fried rice. Haven't even looked at those yet, enjoying this salad. May have to get a salad to go every day at lunch now.

[Daisalana 33]

I tried the roll & fried rice....... I want more salad!!!! :thumbs_up::willy_nilly::thumbup:

hi guys

i miss checking in, so they are all out to lunch

Terry - I hit for about 2 days 199 and bounced right back up... and up.... and up.... LOL

That stupid gall bladder was the root of all evil for me

so now i'm at 199.5 2 days in a row... tomorrow it is going down to 198 and that is it...LOL

there is no turning back now

[Kat817 19]

No Laura, the baby was not thought to be seriously overdue. Her original due date was Jan. 14th. Then with the ultra sound and measurements they moved her due date up to Dec. 31st. So when she went past that, they decided to induce her labor, and found him in distress when they hooked up the monitor, every contraction would result in dropping his heart rate from his normal 122 to under 40! So they went in and did the emergency C section, and found his umbilical cord literally knotted, and wrapped around his little neck. So there was no way she was escaping the c section. The knot took up just enough length that when he would try to drop into the birth canal, it stretched out and cut off his blood and oxygen---so even with the c section they had to wiggle and squeeze to get the big boy out! LOL. Her incision is only 4-5 inches, and he was 8 lbs 12 oz. so it was a tight fit! The pictures I have of her at Christmas, are unbelievable, the girl was all belly!!! She has gone down remarkably! She did not gain much elsewhere. Rick did go by and see her, and SOL's Mommy was there, but she went for coffee when Rick showed up! SOL was home showering. So he said they took a walk, and she got her catheter out, and is down to only one IV, and the pain pump is gone. So she might come home this evening, but likely tomorrow morning. I am going to the hospital as soon as my Mom gets back from taking my Dad to the Dr. So I can drop off Kinsey.

When I had Manda, she was 8 lbs 11 oz. But she was seriously overdue. They knew as soon as they broke my Water she was overdue because it was cloudy. Abbey was scared to have her water broke, someone told her it was terribly painful----I felt nothing! I hate scare tactics! Manda's fingernails had grown long, and curved back down over her fingerprints! Now they grow just fine and normal, but in the womb they were soft and folded over her fingers! And she looked like a little old man who had receding hairlines! Where they lose the sides, but have the center hair on top. The center of hers was so long, if you combed it down it covered her ears!! So the nurse tied a pink bow on it, and we cut it! She had her first haircut before leaving the hospital!!

All the births sound scary I know---but they have amazing technology---like that that discovered that babies like Connor or Corvin was in distress-and allowed them to safely do C sections to make Mom and baby both safe.

However your labor and delivery goes, you will be fine! It is the only pain that you get something so wonderful and amazing from!

And like Abbey, she is already talking about how all her kids will have to be c section, so she is already planning more, it is not deterring her!!

My Dad slipped on ice out on his walk---he walkes 5-6 miles a day in the hills, for his heart health. He is not sure, but is afraid he broke something. He hurts to sit, or move at all. I hate that! They are getting along with the dog wonderfully, which is a relief!

The SUN is shining!! YAY, it seems like a long time!

No lunch today. Worried about my friend. She actually has taken in her 3 grandkids, because her DD has no water or heat in her home. She is so worried of course.

So going to go get the paycheck and put it in the bank and do some grocery shopping.....healthy food, healthy food....keep repeating that to myself!

Hi everyone :thumbs_up:

[Haydee 2]

Hi Tracy! How you feeling today?

[Daisalana 33]

Russ took Gracie to the vet, OMG. Another $300. So $600 in less than a week in her vet bills, and Russ didn't give me any definite answer of what's going on, he said they told him if she doesn't poop again, she's going to have to be hospitalized. Argh. He said "they said something about pancreas" and gave him antibiotics and anti-nausea meds.. and said we need to give her 1/4th of a pepcid.

[Daisalana 33]

And I just spit up a piece of corndog I had at 6pm yesterday. You'd think I'd have felt that bouncing around in there..

[Haydee 2]

ugh gross... how does that happen? it just sits in your pouch? how does the other food you ate not push it down??

I had the worst PB yesterday with All Bran Cereal. I was trying to be good and I figured I would eat a bowl of cereal for dinner. I fixed Juan his dinner and then sat down to a bowl of soggy cereal, which is how I like it, and on my first bite I felt it stick. Spent the next 1/2 just burping and pounding my chest and drooling. I hate the drooling... Finally spit everything back out and I just called it a night. Made my chest hurt so bad...

[Suziecat 379]

Look Ma, No cavities. Went to the dentist today and I got a clean bill of health. Hubby on the other hand has to have some work done. Starting with next wednesday having a tooth pulled and a bridge made for it. Poor thing. Maybe now he will realize he needs ot take better care of his teeth.

I'll look up what the dream meant here soon.

Kat, congrats on the new baby but sorry there was so much drama surrounding his birth. Hope everything is ok with your Dad.

The rest of the day is a lazy one for me. I have some cleaning to do in my bedroom but right now hubby is napping, so I guess I'll just have to wait for a little while.

Have a great rest of the day.
