I'M BAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And guess what...............................they couldn't tell what it was. Sorry you all have been wanting to know as badly as me, but she tried a couple of times. Doc said we'll try next month again. But it's very healthy, saw the heart, all the organs, got an adorable profile picture and foot print of it. I would love to show you all, but I don't know how to get it on here. I can scan it and get it on my computer but can't get it here. If someone can tell me, I'll put it on.
Thanks for everyone pitching in about the pubic bone, I had never heard anyone complain about it and when it happened to me the first time. I know it's starting, I can actually feel it slowly starting to hurt.
Okay, I'll get more personal later, I've got to eat dinner. TTYL

Hello all!!

Well, sorry I haven't been on all afternoon. My cousin popped in for a visit, which she NEVER does. She's the only family (blood related) I have up here and we don't keep in touch very well. We always have a blast when we are together, but those visits are far and few in between. So anyway, she came as I was folding some laundry, so that is all I had done up until then, one load of laundry. I was a little embarrassed about the house but I know she understood. I was going to catch up on laundry and then really attack the house. But now my bathroom is clean and my kitchen is almost done. After I post here I plan to clean until 7 pm and then it's big brother time! LOL
Dinner was ok, not something I'd make again. (swiss steaks in the crockpot)

Deana, what a great photo! I can see your cowgirl boots! Too cute! Thanks for sharing! If I had a scanner I'd share some of mine too! I was tiny on my wedding day.

Leigh, your proposal story gave me chills! It was so sweet! I think sept 11 gave everyone new meaning on love and life and we appreciated those we love even more.

Cindi, I normally just have a glass of water in the fridge but don't drink enough each today, so this evening I filled up a 64 oz pitcher of water and I will drink the whole thing each day so I know I get in enough water... you sound like you are doing great with it today! and send some of that cleaning energy my way!!

Jill, that is too funny, I watched CSI miami for the same reason, lol... I wanted to know who died too. But I thought the previews all week about it were misleading because I thought the story centered around the bridge collapse but it didn't.

Kristin, I hope you get your life back soon! You are such a great person to sacrifice your time (and your bed!) for family.

Michelle, I LOVE pumpkin pie too! I also love pecan pie.. mmmm... and my memory should be here in a few days. I ordered the express delivery and it said 4-5 business days. So I hope by friday or saturday. You playing your game much?

Amy, so sorry about that car wreck! How scary! How did it happen? I think bad news always comes in groups... at least for us, if something bad happens there is a guarentee you'll find out about 2-3 more before the week is over. Hang in there!

Ricci, congrats on the 2#'s!!! Wanna come practice on my hair?? I'll let you! I need a cut badly, maybe even a color put on.

Well, I need to get off here and finish up my kitchen. I plan on folding clothes all evening while watching big brother and Amazing race finales. TTYL!

Hey everyone! Thank you so much for your thoughts and prayers. You wouldn't believe it, but we had ANOTHER wreck out in front of our house today!!! Sheesh! Thankfully this time no one was seriously hurt. We live out in the country and there is a bad curve with a blind spot and people want to fly up and down the road and try to pass one another. I'm just thankful we live pretty far off the road. It is scary when you have children. My mother in law bought us bbq tonight so I ate a little of that for dinner, followed by a Slim-A-Bear bar for dessert. All in all I did pretty well today on my eating.

Crystal: I hate that the doc couldn't tell you the sex today .. that happened to me as well. My son was constantly in a position where they couldn't tell and my mom just knew he was a going to be a little girl and had already named her Madison.. LOL.. Well, he came out and proved her wrong! I was just thankful he was healthy and finally here!!

Penny: Thank you so much for introducing me to the flylady challenges. It was fun and productive! Hope to do it again sometime.

Spryng: Glad you had a nice visit with your cousin. I live a good ways from most of my family as well, but I also have a close cousin who lives about three miles from me. We dont' get too see each other too often b/c of her work schedule, but its fun when she does get to come around.

I'm kinda dreading Thursday night weigh-in and even contemplated not going, but there are some things i need to say to some people after last Thursdays meeting when I was humiliated infront of everyone. I will be nice about it though.

I hope everyone has a good evening and I will try to get on a little later if I can.

Amy

StG: 169 by Sept. 30th!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Crystal you can upload your u/s pic to photobucket then copy and paste the [img] [/img] tag url and viola!! photobucket is free btw and wonderful!!

Deana, too funny, but not, about your boobs hurting after taking down wall paper. I wouldn't have thought of that at all. My neck still hurts and is raidiating down my back.. Uh! It's not a big bathroom, but has 6 corners instead of 4 and I didn't have my cutting in tool's brush piece, so I had to hand do it. It took much longer than it would normally for me. I love to paint.

Crystal, I'm sorry you didn't find out the sex of the baby. I know you must be dissapointed.

Spryng, I know unexpected visitors can throw you off sometimes, but did you enjoy her visit at least. Sometimes, unexpected visitors is nice to give you a break too, right?

Amy, I can't believe there was another accident...was everyone ok?

Cindi, hope you guys are doing better. HOw's the water intake today?

Kristin, have fun with all the kids. I bet you'll sleep good tonight! Unless, someone keeps you up, which, unfortunatly, could happen since their mother isn't around.

Michelle, GREAT PICS! YOu LOOK FANTASTIC!

Leigh, I love the zoo! Abigail does too, but bugga, isn't too fond of it and makes us all miserable. I liked your story about your proposal. Did you enjoy your visit with your friend and baby? I bet you did. It's nice to see other adults during the day.

QOTD: Dh and I were together for 6 years and he still hadn't asked me. We kind of talked about it, but not really, if you know what I mean. I was upset about it one day and we talked. He said, "don't you know I want to marry you"? I said, "well not really", it's been so long and you haven't asked. He said "well, would you marry me"? Of course I said yes, but that wasn't the official proposal. He came down to my house 4 days later and we had a nice dinner together and then in front of the fire place, he got down on one knee and said, "you are my best friend, pal and confidant and my Agape' ", "Will you marry me"? I looked at the ring and said yes! THen I said, It's big! He said "too big"? I said, no no..NOnonno! lol. BTW Agape' means unconditional love and we use it like "I love you" at special times. It's pronounced Ahhgapay.

Have a nice night ladies. See ya in the a.m.

Hey everyone! Been here all day checking posts but cleaning too so I didn't have a lot of time to post too much. Anyway got most of my house clean, bearable at least! LOL Going to start dinner soon, guess I really don't have too much to say! LMAO

Leigh glad you had fun at the zoo, I wish we had one here close but we don't I know what you mean about not wanting to take Liam on trips. You get set in your routines and to take them away for even a weekend can really turn you upside down. I know Bayley won't sleep anywhere but in her bed or the one at my mom's, it just isn't going to happen. That's why I prefer for people to come here. It's just easier! LOL Liams party sounds cute!

Deana 80 oz down!! 20 to go!! Love the pic!!

Michelle don't you love being the go to girl for computer problems! I bet you do! You are so smart on these things. I am awaiting my financial aid for school as well. Good for you for trying to get enrolled. I'm sure you will do great!! Do you work tonight?

Cindi, Penny and Kristin thanks for challenging with me today! Couldn't have done it without you!!

Crystal I had a bad feeling they wouldn't be able to tell!!! AHHHHHH how annoying! When is your next appt?

Spryng cool that your cousin popped in! My cousin and I always have a really good time together too. We don't see eachother often either cuz she is so busy with work. She is the one who just found out she is preggo. Hope you get your cleaning done like you want!

Amy sorry to hear about another car wreck by your house. Glad no one was seriously hurt though. So what happened at your meeting last week? If you don't mind sharing. Good job on your eating today!!

Mel cool proposal story! Nice to hear from you!!

Ok ladies Oprah is over and I need to start dinner. I will chat with you all later BUT it's season finales tonight so I will only be on in between comercials!!! LOL

Making dinner.

I am so proud of my ds, he is a freshman on the varsity cross country team. He had a meet today and came in 15th out of 100. By the time he is a senior, he will be #1!!

I had another water a while ago, and will drink it with my dinner. Although I didn't get to walk tonight, I sure am making tracks to the bathroom!

Got a good bit of housework done, but still have alot to go!

Christian didn't have a nap, so wish me luck for tonight!!! I need it!!!!

BAck soon!

Okay, didn't know it was going to come out so big, but hay, you get the picture, lol. Most of you should be able to decipher this, let me know if you can't. It's just the profile of the baby as if he's laying on his back. It's the side of his fact. Doesn't this make it worth not knowing the sex? I mean after seeing this, I didn't care anymore.
Hope you enjoy. My pubic bone has slowly started to hurt more and more all day and sitting in my computer chair, because it's a dining table chair it makes it worse. So I'll try to be on later to say good night.
TTYL

Oh Michelle, thanks for explaning that to me. Now I know.

Evening Things here are going well. I'm watching Big Brother and I bet Spryng is too.

Deana- for some reason I can't see your pic

Crystal- darn it! We have to wait until next month??? LOL. Just kidding- I'm glad the baby looks fine. That's always the most important thing. I remember watching the video of Liam's sonogram about 3 million times

Spryng- we saw CSI Miami last night too. We may also give CSI NY a chance on Wednesday.

Amy- yikes! Another wreck?? That would really freak me out.

Michelle- I forgot to say, good luck with the educational endeavors - sounds like you have a good plan.

Mel- I like your proposal story! How sweet.

Jill- what did you make for dinner? Was it good? Yes- it's much easier for others to come here. MIL and FIL are coming for a breif visit this weekend, so that will be nice. That way, we'll definitely get that bedroom in order.

Cindi- to DS!!! That's awesome.

Okay, here are some wedding photos. First, these are NOT the professional ones (I'd have to scan those) so they're not the greatest pics. But they allow you to get the general idea Just looking at them makes me sad because I was sooooo thin

Crystal- ohhhhh! How cute!!!!

OMG Leigh, you are beautiful....even if you aren't THAT thin anymore. That's why we are here. We are all working toward looking as good as we did then. I also posted my pic and another on the msn site. Don't know why you can't see it.

Cindi: to ds. WTG on the water today.

Jill: 80 down, 20 to go. for all of us.

Is it just me or is page 3 tooooo wide for the screen for some reason?

Crystal: ARRRRGGGGHHHH so we wait again. Good pic. Mine were never really that clear.

Spryng: Hope you enjoyed your visit with your cousin. All my family live around me but I'm not close to any of them, except the cheesy sil.....LOL.

Amy: WOW!!! Have you approached the county about doing something about the road.....or install guardrails in front of your house? That's just crazy.

Kristin: I have the pic posted on the msn site along with another that shows the front of my dress better. I can't see it now either, or my doll in my siggie. Don't know what's up with that......

Gonna check to see if I can figure out what's up. I'll be back later, hopefully for chat too.
TTYL

Can you all see them now? I went and edited.

Today has been a long one. My little girl is breathing better but boy has she been a grouch. I'm wore out...the house is a mess...and my husband is off to school for the evening. I actually took a nap today which is something I just do not do.
Crystal-Sonogram pictures are so neat. It looks to me like you have a healthy little baby. That's what counts.

Leigh-those are great pictures. I don't even have any pictures (only one) from my second marriage. It was just a small ceremony at the courthouse with the Justice of the Peace. At least the judge is a really good friend of the family. Didn't really have a reception either. Then went to the vet to pick up our puppy that almost died from parvo...and had to feed her every 2 hours. So much for that night. I did marry my best friend though.

Didn't do so good on the water today either...sorry

~chris

Why I can't see ANY of the pics, are they on this post or the MSN site? Never mind, my puter is just REALLY slow I guess!

Baths given, dinner done, kitchen almost clean. Had so much water I lost count, but I think I made goal this time! YAY!!!

Christian had no nap still, so it's looking promising for a better night! I need it! I never even got a shower today! EWWWW! I wouldn't share that with just anyone, you all are special

Going to get these kids to sleep!

Love to all...if I am lucky I won't be back!
