Tomorrow is THE day!!! It is a big TGIF for us!!! A new little grandson to snuggle up with, I am so excited!!

We went to dinner with the kids. Wanted to spend some time with them while we could. Manda's boyfriend could not make it, he was working, every one else made it. DIL's parents are in for the birth, so they come along too. Chaos ------ 3 grandkids, 2 who played and giggled all through the meal, Kinsey and Connor. And a 6 month old, who was just not real happy, he wanted to grab everything, and no one would let him! And his Dad was there, so there was no sneaking him tastes of things!!!

Jane, I hope your day flies by tomorrow, and your TGIS gets here quickly for you.

Office manager gave me a dollar an hour raise today. Think she knows I was contemplating leaving! Not that a buck would stop me if I get a better offer. DH is trying to convince me to go to PAC (Conoco Phillips) we have friends working there--they pay well. But....it is not a field I am very well versed in......but I might talk to them anyway. Couldn't hurt! It is 6 bucks an hour more than I am making!

DIL's parents being here, is messing things up with me keeping my grandson. He does not even know them, it upsets me, but not much I can do about it. Her Mom wants him to go back and forth with them. They will handle him. Handle him???? How about love him a bunch extra, his little life is gonna change in a major way tomorrow!

Well I gotta go download some pictures and clear a memory card so I can snap lots of pics tomorrow!!!

Will check in and give ya the stats tomorrow!!

Hey Girls~ I went to the gym this morning...yea me!!! I could ONLY do 15 min on the eliptical (although that kicked my ass). My eyes were bugging me a bit but it felt good to sweat. I wanted to lift some weights as well, but perhaps tomorrow. I am sooo glad I am back at it. Susanne and I went but she stayed 25 min longer. Tomorrow, the goal is 16 or more min on the eliptical...hopefully, the workout will help me sleep better.

I have been sleeping shitty and hate it...but when I work out, I sleep better.

I have an appointment today at 2 w/ the surgeon...then nothing else to do. I have this morning's antibiotic only left...and then I want a drinky-poo tomorrow. I had some wine in Italy, but have not had anything since, and I've been wanting a drinky for a week. So, I am looking forward to it!

Other than that...a mellow weekend ahead. Oh yeah, Jenny and Annette (the girl she is dating) and Sus and I are driving up to the mountains and scout out the camp site. We and about 30 other lesbians are going camping on the 22nd. So we are going up Sat to have lunch and chillax!

Have a great day/weekend! Love you girls!

For some reason I can't log into utube or Facebook. Ever since I got this virus. The virus is gone now, so I think?

Have a good day everyone!!!!!!

hi guys i just had to check in, i'm so happy, I moved up to Soup yesterday and just weighed myself, which I never do at night because it is always bad... I'm at 195 now. Holy smokes... that is my absolute lowest and it is still going down

I'm so happy, not going to change my ticker until tomorrow morning, but happy either way

Had to share

Way To Go Jenn. That's awesome.

Where's Grandma Kathy with the baby pics????

I got in the pool today and it was wonderful. Long time coming but it also looks like tomorrow will be a good pool day. The Water temp was 88 and it was 90 degrees outside. I was really cold for about the first ten minutes but the body started to adjust. I hate this always being cold. One night last week I actually turned my electric blanket on to 4 at bedtime. You should see all the clothes I wear in winter just to stay warm.

Hello from Solomon's Island, Md! We're here for ds's soccer tournament this weekend. We came down and toured historic St. Mary's City, then came here to Solomon's. I think the "Tiki Bar" down the avenue has my name on it! We have a marina view room, which is nice. Two soccer games tomorrow, and then depending on the outcome of those will depend how many & when they play on Sunday.

Everyone have a great weekend!!

Just sent out an email about the baby--since posting pics here is not my strong suit!!!

I am going to put a few up on my Facebook album too.

He is precious!!! I got to hold him a long, long time. Since her parents took Connor, we went up and were there when they took her back to the OR, and we were there with Manda when Lenny carried him out. All went wonderfully smooth, and baby and Mom are both doing great.

He weighed in at an even 6 pounds, and was 18 1/4 inches long. He has brown hair, and is content. He latched on and nursed without issue. Rick went back with Lenny for a few minutes, then I went back, and then Manda, and she helped Lenny bathe him. Then Rick took Lenny to get something to eat, while we waited for Mom to get back to her room, so the nurse let me dress him, and sit with him. She offered to let me hold him, and I SOOOOOOO badly wanted to. BUT----I wanted his Mommy to be the first, so I just sat with him and let him lie under the warm lights awhile longer, and rubbed his little leg. Then the guys come back the cafeteria was closed, so we all got back to the room, us and DIL about the same time. We passed him around and oohed and ahhhed for awhile, then the guys again went to try to get food. The C section was a challenge for my weak stomached son!!! They give my DIL some benedryl, as the betadine they used was causing a reaction and she was itching, so she went to sleep, the guys were gone and Garrick and I just sat and rocked!! And it did! Rock I mean!!!

Her family finally showed up with Connor about 3 this afternoon----seriously!

We brought him home with us. Going to take him up in the morning, then to an oilfield BBQ cook off at the county fair tomorrow. Should be fun.

That was all my day consisted of. Family. I love our new baby!!!

Her Dads name is Gary, His Dads name is Rick.....which is how we have a Garrick. Connor has Rick's Dads middle name (so does our son) and so this baby has the other great Grandpa's middle name, is where the Raymond come in.

I can't wait to go up tomorrow and get my hands on him again!!! I am taking a bunch of things up tomorrow, that I have bought for him. FUN FUN FUN!!!

Will check in later, off to get my exercise, Connor wants to kick the soccer ball----hope I don't break anything. Not like windows.....like bones!
