Good Wednesday morning to ya, ladies.
Little Jaxon and his mama came home from the hospital yesterday on what was supposed to be the day Jaxon was going to be taken initially (mommy's BP got a little out of hand, so he had to be taken a few days early). Me and the roomie stopped by early in the morning to decorate the house for their homecoming...they were completely surprised.
I dropped back by later to drop off the fleece blanket I made for Jaxon and got to hold him a little longer. He's such a good baby...very little crying and that was only when mama was rubbing all that cold lotion on him...mean old mama!!!
Here's my personals from yesterday's thread:
Fluffymama - Good job on preparing for your long stay...I've found that is the only way to avoid completely caving to off-plan foods. Sorry you're stuck at work for a couple of days...I know that's not the #1 thing on your list of things you want to be doing right now, LOL Hope you get to leave soon!!!
Cyndi - The coffee pots w/ the grinder always sound like a plane getting ready to take off to me. SO LOUD...but boy does it make for some delicious, fresh-tasting coffee. YUM!!! I love snow and was hoping to get at least a couple of inches...but this ice stuff is for the birds!!! In my 34 years we have never had anything like that here...and my poor little Corolla didn't like it ONE bit!!!
Is your sister-in-law (did I get that right???) just afraid of flying or is there another reason??? I used to be terrified until I finally flew for the first time. I was so nervous I gave myself a nosebleed right in the airport, LOL Funny thing is, I looooooooooove to fly now!!! Hope your plans for the trip go off w/o a hitch...what a nice present!!!
Mmckellen - Awwww, Veronica wanted a little girl SO bad but alas she now has 3 little boys, LOL Seems to be a run on baby boys lately...everybody I know had a boy except for 1. Have fun shopping for your niece...it's so much fun shopping for little girls!!! Hope your soon feels better soon!!!
Cottage - Thanks!!!
Most of the ice melted away today and the roads are looking much better. I think I'll be okay to get to work tonight. I only have 1 route from home to work that isn't full of hills and even that is debatable and WAY out of my way to travel. Thankfully it looks like I won't have to deal w/ that.
Hope you made it home before the storm hit!!! Stay safe!!!
Heidi - Yanno, I had never heard of SUA until Veronica told me about the problem w/ her pregnancy. Apparently it's pretty common. Who knew??? So glad little Hannah was born healthy as well!!! I think some of the advancements in technology are super cool (the 4D sonograms are frigging AMAZING!!!) but sometimes it's too much of a good thing, yanno??? As for the weather, things are just about back to normal now. Most of the ice has melted away...it was constantly dropping from the power lines and rooftops today. Congrats on your weight getting back to where it's supposed to be...yay!!!
Laneebm - Oooh, I hope y'all are enjoying the cold in LA. I tell ya, for years and years I have complained about the humidity in GA. I was in New Orleans for the EMS Expo the weekend that Katrina hit and I have NEVER IN MY LIFE felt such humidity. As soon as I would walk out of my hotel, my jeans and hair would be soaked in sweat. OMG, I don't know how y'all deal w/ it!!!
Beloved - I don't know about you, but it's normal for me to weigh in the morning (nekkid, of course, LOL) at one weight and, by the end of the night, to weigh in 5 or 6 pounds heavier. Sometimes as much as 9 pounds heavier!!! Good luck figuring out what's going on w/ your scale. I don't have that particular type, so I'm afraid I'm no help to you.
LuckyDVL - Oh wow...a rotation in postpartum would be SO sweet!!!
I could hold babies all day long. I love how the smell when they've just had a bath and they are all lotioned up and smelling good. So sweet!!! I don't want any of my own, but I do love them. So glad to hear your headaches are gone!!!
uscarchie - Oh wow, a half marathon...that's awesome!!! Good luck w/ your training!!!
Heidi - SF gum is one of my ways to keep me from overindulging in foods like I used to, as well. I've never had a problem w/ it making me gassy...but then again, I'm a fairly gassy person anyway, LOL Sorry, TMI, I know.
Anyway, I reckon it's off to the gym for me since I'm able to get out on the road tonight. I've been playing on the Kinect for the past few days to get some exercise in, but I've been missing my treadmill and elliptical, for sure!!! Hope everyone has a great Wednesday!!!
