Yes Rosey we probably will find out boy or girl in about 9 wks or so I guess. You guys pretty much go from summer to winter there don't you? We're in a mild Fall here. It's suppose to reach 80 today. I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm going to try to post my 8 week ultrasound but I bet you can't make no sense of it. LOL I couldn't either on my own.

Daphne what pictures are you wanting to see?? Inside or out? I'd be happy to try to post some. Now, you need to let us know what's up with you? I've been worried about you and so has everyone else!

I see we have some new smilies on here. I don't use many of them anyway so I wouldn't have ever noticed them. Man the weather is still in the 80's here and I am like so ready to decorate for christmas?? Will thanksgiving EVER get here? I'm feeling much better these last 3 days but still pregnant. I have some food adversions and my nausea is pretty much contained to morning like its suppose to be. I do have to pee all the time though but if I remember correctly, that will last about um...9 months anyway. My sister is getting close to her due date. Well she has 8 more weeks to go. I emailed you some pictures of her so you can see her, her DH and her son, Tyler.

Anyone got anything else to talk about?? Anything going on? I do nothing much all day but read posts on here and other sites so I get bored. LOL

[dabrat]

OK I am back for now. Just been off plan and not wanting to post and irritated and stressed and lonely and pissed and having a pity party. Ever since my surgery I have been very depressed and can't pull out of it. SO I hadda try the new smilies and will post and go to bed and post in moring and I love ya all and miss ya all. If you have yahoo I have mamabrat2000 name. I have a blog there and that explains some of it.
XOXOXO Daphne

OK this is what I am working for, the goals I have listed below. I have to get serious because the stress of my weight, the unhappiness over it, the wasted money, the not sleeping, the disgust at my body, the aches and pains all need to get under control. I need to remember to take my blood pressure med and stop forgetting it, I need to get at least 6 hours of sleep a night and not keep taking naps. I need to start putting me first and stop worrying that Jason will be mad at me for not doing this or that. My stress the other naight after a big fight was so bad I honestly thought I was going to have a heart attack or a stroke. If Jason wants to be an a$$ then that will be his choice. I don't have to listen to it I can leave and come back when he is cooled off. I know if things don't change I will end up with a stroke or a heart attack. It can not be good to feel your heart beating hard and loud in your ears and thru your whole body for the whole night and keep waking you up beating so hard. I am going to take a mini vacation by myself before long. Why do I feel guilty and feel like i have to rush home when he is here? Why can't I take off for the day and let him watch his own kids? OK I have had 3 hours sleep and look like a zombie. I am so tired and can't stop thinking. I am back on my diet as of today. I dropped Weight Watchers being as I was not following the plan and didn't want to. 12 dollars a week and I can buy me 6 frozen dinners, or get a pedicure and a manicure twice a month. That sounds like a better use of money a bi monthly manicure and pedicure. Or heck might get fake nails again being as having pretty nails makes me feel good. Yea I am blabbering so sorry my wonderful friends but I am excited to be back on track!

I have missed you so much Daphne and I am going to try out the blog thing in a few cause I would like to help you in any way I can. You are so right, you need to take care of yourself. Those kids are not your kids and you don't need to kill yourself over them if Jason can't accept at least 50% responsibility. I have told you before that you do WAY more for those kids than any step mother would have ever done and you've take a lot off of the whole situation. I pray that it all works out though cause I do believe you all love one another and we do all go through trying times. We are here for you so don't forget that.

Rosey do I have so say it again "Back away from the snow and no one will get hurt!!" I want snow this year so bad. It's a perfect time for it and although it probably won't be a good thing for me to "play" in it while pregnant, it's beautiful to look at. We reached the low 70's yesterday and we will have lows in the 40's in the mornings this next week so maybe we are cooling off here.

We went to the Oktoberfest here yesterday which is a huge thing for our town every year. It celebrates our town's German heritage. It wouldn't be so bad though if the mexican's would stay home. I know that sounds bad but you know they aren't from here and why celebrate it? I didn't feel good the whole 2 hours that we were away from home. I gagged so much. We walked so far away to park and I literally peed my pants cause I got sick walking back up a hill to the car. It was so NOT WORTH the 2 candy apples I bought. Plus it cost us $17 to just get in. I got a barbque sandwhich and ate half there and some here at home but "lost it" all before bed. Today we have to do groceries and so far I don't feel too bad but the day is so young.

OK I get here and noone is posting now so whats the deal? Oh Dana I got a call from Deborah the other day and I talked to her today. SHe is activly looking for a new job now and is fed up and stressed to the max.
OK someone post here please??

Daphne were you up at midnight?? I went to bed at 8:30 lastnight but had a rough first couple of hours. I'm so tired of this being sick mess. Some days are worse than others and some times of the day are worse. I want it to be over already and now I'm wondering what the heck I have done. Nothing tastes right and what does, won't stay down. I think I've lost about 20 pounds now and ended up taking a laxative lastnight but to get something passed out of me. I have never had to take one of those. I'm 25% there but this is taking too long.

Daphne I'm glad you talked to Deb. I've been wondering about her lately. Have you heard from Gayle? She's coming up on the anniversary of her mom's death isn't she? I hope that she comes through that OK. I miss hearing about her decorating for each holiday.

Rosey still got snow?? The mountains of north carolina got some so it's getting closer down here but I"ve heard we're predicted to not get any.

Donna where are you?

[dabrat]

I was up late that night wasn't able to sleep I guess. I had talked to Deb and then a few other friends and was full of thoughts to sleep. It is amazing that when one friend calls me I seem to hear from all of my friends.
Dana what is the due date and do we know the sex of the baby yet? What are your plans for Thanksgiving this year? What about Christmas? How are you enjoying the new place? Are you just loving all the new room? What about your card making how is that going? I am going to make my cards this week for Thanksgiving and send them out this year. How are you going to decorate the babies room? Have you felt her move yet? My girlfriend Shantell is 17 weeks now so I am having fun with both of you being due around the same time. I have not talked to Gayle in a while I should call her tomorrow night and check in with her.
Rosey how is the weather up there? My in laws and my neighbors both had trips up there this summer and fell in love with Alaska. The pictures are truly amazing. The glaciers are a site to see and when a chunk falls off all I can say is wow! The rivers and streams were all so clear and the area was beautiful. How are the grandbabies doing? What are your plans for Thanksgicing and Christmas? How is the card making going? How is your health doing and that wonderful hubbies?
Donna hey woman where are younow that I am here? Did I scare ya off? Are you not getting the notices that there are new messages here like I don't get? What are your plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas? How is Elena doing this week? How about yours and Jims test?
I had Tony here Friday night, Saturday and until 6ish Sunday night. He went home a bit early being as I have to take Megan to Seattle tomorrow. He was going to spend the whole day with me tomorrow but with me having to go to Seattle he decided to go see his girlfriend tonight. He just turned 19 but he is still my baby. He is working full time at Les Schwab a tire company. He gets full benefits in December and will be making like 11 dollars an hour. Not to bad for my baby huh?
OK I wrote a novel again just wanted to say hi!

Nice to see some posts here! Rosey????!!!

Dana, hope you are feeling better with each day! I meant to reply to those pictures you shared with us of your sister and her family. Was it a professional photographer? I was just wondering because they were standing in front of a bad back drop because the light was bouncing off from the glare and not making as good of a picture as they could of been. The subjects were very nice looking! You look a lot like your sister, don't you?! She's very pretty too.
I am to see the surgeon on Thursday so then I will know the results of my test I did for my esophaugus function last Tuesday. Jim's colonoscopy went good. He was polyp free! He was able to come home from the hospital on Tuesday after lunch so it worked out for not long after my test at the same hospital I was able to hang around and take my hubby home.
For Thanksgiving we are supposed to be going to my sil's who lives in New Jersey. For Christmas we will be home and celebrating my Dad's first Christmas MARRIED AGAIN! Yes... he is marrying again December 2nd.
Elena is doing some better in school. She has to really apply herself and she is not alone having a hard fifth grade year. I have heard from many other moms that their fifth graders were experiencing a hard time as well.
Well, it's late. I wanted to post though so Daphne didn't think she scared me off! KEEP POSTING GIRLS!!!! LOL

[lakelog]

I don't know if I will remember all the questions directed to me or not but i'll give it a try. First of all to Donna, those pictures were taken in a small room by a friend with a digital camera. It was at my sister's work baby shower. It would have been shower number 2 for her. Our side of the family had one on sat. and she has one more at the church. I can't believe the stuff she has for one baby. I didn't have that much when I had twins. A bottle warmer, what's that?? I used hot water in a bowl. LOL So anyway, no those pictures weren't professional at all they were just some snaps of her while waiting on some people to come in for that shower. They showed her belly good though and believe me when I say, it's growed some more. She gained 6 pounds in the last 3 weeks and has 7 more to go.

As for my PG, I'm only in my 10th week so I don't expect to feel movement for 4 to 5 more weeks. We do hope to find out the sex but will be by ultrasound closer to christmas. I could do the acu-gender blood test but it's only 50% right so why waste the money. I figure its a boy anyway so surprise me. LOL I haven't done much of anything with cards in a while cause of the nausea. I am beginning to feel some better but everytime I say that, I get hit with a wave of it again.

Donna is something wrong with your esophaugus? You have reflux or something didn't you? I'm happy that Jim test went well and pray yours did as well. And congratulations to your dad. Is everyone Ok with that? I hope that he's happy. As for 5th grade, Logan made honor roll first quarter and had never had honor roll. He is doing better in 5th than he did in any other grade. Even Laken made the all A honor roll for 4th grade. Now where do they get that smartness from?? Brett missed it by 1 point in math and so he has yet to make it either.

Rosey are you snowed in??
