Hey Ladies, I'm feeling better about the boy thing. I'm happy that Peter will have a little brother to play with. Yes, I still want my girl, and maybe someday I'll get her, but for now, I'm happy.

DG, are you charting or anything? I was amazed to find out how regular I was when I first went off the pill and started charting! Fertility Friend is a good place. Hope all was well at your physical!

Have a great day all!

Morning. LBH-yes, i'm charting and finally getting the hang of it. My physical went well. I had a good chat with my doctor and turns out a medication i'm taking is well known for making people gain massive amounts of weight. I need to take this med but I don't want to keep gaining weight. Not sure what to do.
Anyways, almost the weekend folks so enjoy your day.

I mostly wanted a boy when I was pregnant with Anna. Scot (DH) thought he saw boy parts on the ultrasound. I should have discounted it since he thought the umbilical cord was an ear. At any rate, we didn't find out until she was delivered. When the doctor said, "It's a girl!" almost everyone in the peanut gallery (I had quite a crowd in the delivery room) jumped up out of their seats and had to check, like the doctor had made a mistake. And my first thought was, "Oh my God, I am going to have a teenage daughter." I was also hoping for the kids to share their room, which I am still considering. My mom shared a bedroom with her brother till she was 14 and lots of people in other countries do. Right now we are all on our 3rd floor master bedroom/loft until the kids are old enough to be in the basement bedroom alone.

Two good days, this is an amazing thing. I haven't been able to have two days of controlled eating in ages. Here is to day three.

My best friend got engaged last night (my DH set them up - dragged her kicking and screaming over to meet him after a ski race last February); and now she has a wonderful guy and a huge rock - in a gorgous old fashioned setting - that wasn't bought on credit. I am so happy for them

Celebration Girls Night Out Dinner tonight - I am going to try to be good, maybe salad and wine, or perhaps tequila shots?

[RoadRunner]

Morrigan--sounds so romantic!! Hope U did not succumb to the tequila shots and paying for it this morning!!!!

Hi All,

Morrigan, hope you didn't "torture" yourself too much last night!

RR, Have fun! Christmas shopping!! Geez, I can't think that far ahead...I don't start that until at least December!!

Peter had a 24 hr. virus I guess. He slept horrible Thursday night, ended up in bed with us. About an hour after I dropped him off at daycare, they called to tell me he had a 102° temp. I didn't believe it could be that high...they use forehead thermometers, so she took it again, it was 99.x°! So I said I will bring ibuprofen and my own thermometer. It was 100.9 rectally. He was really whiney and just not "right" so I brought him home and called DH to come stay home with him. (It's easier for him to get off.) I decided to make an appt. for him, since it was Friday, and DH took him in. She said his ears were crystal clear and everything else was find, it was a virus, just take him home and give him lots of fluids. So that's what DH did. He slept most of the day and I gave him more ibuprofen when got home and he woke up...because he was burning up and DH didn't think to give him any!! By around 7:30 he was a new kid, appetite back, ate 1/2 can of chef boyardee shells and meatballs, a bunch of cold grapes, and gatorade. He went down without much fuss at 8:30. Slept most of the night, except for a short span at 11:50 or so. At 7:20 he woke up with a very full diaper!! I changed him and put him in our bed with DH because I had to pee, when I came out, he was asleep again, so I left them for another 1/2 hr. or so! DH is still in bed!!

Hope everyone's doing great!!!

Sick kids are no fun, sorry you had to day that.

I didn't party too hard last night (can't since I am nursing), as a matter of fact, I made out with 1330 calories. Anna kept me awake almost all night, and I did the long bridge swim this morning. Needless to say, I am pooped.
