Hi all!! I got a great book today What To Expect When You Are Expecting. Going to spend the weekend reading. Also got a book of nursery rhymes to read to peanut! Did very well eating today. I made good choices. Yippee!!

Rabbit: Ouchee on the dentist. Hope it went well.

RR: Or she can have one boyfriend and one girl friend!! I don't know why I think it's going to be a boy, I just do. DH has already picked out a boys name....Alexander Jason. He wants to call it AJ!

Lauren: He is my regular doctor. I've only been to him a couple of times. He was so nice the first time and spent lots of time with me. Then, when he REALLY (least in my opinion) spent some time with me he rushed me through like a car on the assembly line! I tried to find a midwife but the one listed in my insurance book had a wrong number :(.

OK, off to read my book. Have a great evening.

HELLO! :flow1:

I had a cavity filled at the dentist yesterday and also my permanent retainer put back on. It fell off last week. It's always something with my mouth!

RR - glad you are getting plenty of rest.:)

Karen - oh that is a great book! What an exciting time for you. That's a cute name dh picked out. Do you plan to find out the sex? A lot of people do these days, I kind of like the surprise!

It is certainly amazing that so many of you are pregnant at once!:cloud9:

gotta run - it's a beautiful day here - have a great weekend.

Rabbit :flow2:

Karen--I knew from the beginning it was to be a girl..Just felt it inside!!!I have been up since 2am with Ms Active Mover here!!!I think the glucose was too much for me and her after my test that it made us both kookie!!!

Well, off to relax in the tub and maybe complete the scrapbook!!I am at August!!!!!

Hi All,

Karen- I have that book and I look at it about once a month, but I haven't gotten much out of it. Another great (funny) book is the The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy. It's hilarious. I read it before I was PG...I should go back and read it now. There's a free book you can get through State Farm Insurance, called the Mayo Clinic...something. It's a huge hard cover book, and it's really good. I'll try and find the link for you...

Hi all!! Wow, am I tired today. I slept for 10 hours last nite, took an hour long nap and feel like I could go to bed right now. I ate pretty well today so I am happy about that. I weighed today and my scale must be screwey. It says I have not gained any weight, but even my fat pants are tight. That's jeans. Maybe I should stick with elastic waist pants. Surely a week can't make *that* much difference. I was wearing the smaller jeans last week with no problem!! :)

RR: Hope you had fun in that bubble bath.

Lauren: I've enjoyed some of the stuff, other stuff I'm going to take with a grain of salt. It was recommended reading from the doctor.

Rabbit: Yuck on the dentist. You had to have a permanent retainer? Is that common? When I got my braces off they gave me a top and bottom retainer but of course they were lost years ago. Course, that was when I was in the 6th grade. Goodness, I hate to even think of how long ago that was. Hmmm, 25 years???? ugh. Wish I hadn't done the math.

Have a great evening all.

down and out in LA
 

oh my gosh you guys, i'm so depressed. the house is an absolute disaster. :( the landlords went from a sweet little old couple to slumlords overnight. everything is breaking, the house is filthy (they claim it was cleaned "top to bottom") and they won't fix anything because there is an "as-is" clause in my lease. i can't walk around barefoot because of the sticky floors and dirty carpets. there is dust everywhere. the blinds don't work. half the windows wont open. the half that do open have holes in the screens so bugs fly in. i'm so upset with myself for getting into this situation. i've never had such a horrible experience and i've rented close to 10 different places in the last 10 years (unfortunately i move a lot).

someone mentioned not eating out of stress... it's the total opposite for me. i haven't eaten hardly anything in 3 days. i have no appetite because i'm too depressed over these deplorable living conditions. does anybody have any suggestions? a friend of mine mentioned checking with city hall and reading up on tenant's rights. i just don't know what to do. my lease is for a year and i have no idea if there are any legal ways to get out of it. i'm at my wit's end and i've only been here 3 days!!!

anyway sorry for the book! i'm just :?: right now. i have no idea what to do.:cry:
