Good morning! Couldn't sleep much last night. Again. I wish I could take it easy and nap, but DS wants to play now and I have to work this afternoon at the golf course. There'll be golfers, but not superbusy. Wonder if I could curl up in the window.... Laura, the hospital sounds so...

No big plans here tonight either. Should be working out...sigh. For some reason I'm a little sore down below. Wonder if I overdid it cleaning and moving the bookcase. Not too bad, but a little achy when I start walking around. DH is upstairs watching the Barrett-Jackson auction. I'll...

Hello! We've been doing some cleaning/putting things in the attic. I think it's finally sunk in to DH that we have another person and their stuff coming into the house. LOL He cleaned out our storage room (haven't checked the status of the garage yet...eeks) and I cleaned out a bookcase to...

Thanks, Jen! I thought so, but then I thought maybe it could mean boil slowly. I was just checking out baby names and I hadn't realized how popular the name Emily is. LOL How funny. I guess I should have figured since I live in a town of about 1800 and I already know of 2 or 3 Emily's...

Hi Jen! Saw your recipe...and I think I'll get the ingredients tomorrow. Stupid question...simmer is the lowest temperature on the stove, isn't it? Told ya I'm not much of a cook. hahahahaha

Jen, I'd like the recipe too please. I love clam chowder, but unfortunately am not much of a cook. Maybe I can try it and have a can of chowder as backup. = ) DS won't eat it, but DH will. I love soup and chili in the winter. Yum! Ava and Marlo...are those the 2 names it's narrowed...

Hello all! Not sure where I was yesterday. I haven't been sleeping well at all and it finally caught up with me yesterday. I actually napped while DS was at preschool. I'm not a napper. I think it's because there are so many other things I need/want to be doing. Jen, I hear ya on it...

Skyy, that is funny that we're both scheduled to have our babies on the same day. My date might change too. The nurse told me to call later to see if we can get a day with the surgery in the morning. I'd like it in the morning, but I'll probably be so nervous and excited that it won't matter...

Jen, that's great you got approved for another u/s! You had mentioned conflicting midwives and weren't sure if you'd get one. Hooray!! You get to peak at your little girl again!! Jess, I had no idea green beans could burn. Then again, I'm not much of a cook (thank goodness DH likes to...

Skyy, your babyshower sounded awesome! It must have taken a lot of planning. Very cool! Yeah, I'm not much for being the center of attention either. Too much pressure. I always feel like I'm going to forget to talk to or thank someone at those kinds of things. Laura, the new hospital...

I just got home from a sorority meeting and tonight the women were all commenting about how I was finally looking pregnant. Um...I've looked pregnant for quite some time so think they were really trying to say I look like a whale. Haha One woman guessed I was having a girl because I was...

Hello! Ahhh...feelin' huge. I'm feeling it too. My back has been hurting every day from this increased weight. I'm a stay-at-home mom, but I'm on my feet for most of the day. I do a lot of playing and running with my kiddo, and I think that's why my back starts to hurt at the end of the...

Jess, I like the stroller/carseat combo. It looks pretty similar to the one we bought for DS in 2004. We'll be using it again for DD. I think it's okay to reuse a carseat as long as it's less than 5 yrs old? I can't remember if there's a rule or not...I will need to check on that. But...

Hello everyone! Jess, that sounds like an awesome package from your mom! Very fun!! Has your neighbor found his other dog? How's the female dog doing? Jen, sounds like a great time at the beach! I'm completely landlocked. Whenever I get a chance to take a vacation (been a...

Jen, yeah after a c-section you'll still need pads. Totally not a dumb question...I had no idea when I went in for mine. I had to use what they supplied me at the hospital (and they were the biggest pads I've ever seen in my life..yowza!) I didn't bleed a ton...one of the nurses said...

Great list, Jess! I forgot about needing big, comfy undies and my own pads. I think the things we forgot and had to buy there (who knew??) with Cale were baby fingernail clippers (which we didn't use b/c we were both freaked out about trying to cut something so small) and the little...

Happy Birthday, Laura!!! I remember you telling us about your other dr's office that kept you waiting even though they knew he was gone. Sounds like the new hospital is just what you were needing. = ) The baby movement in the 3rd trimester is fun! Right now, my little girl is pushing...

Jen, your daughter will definitely have a name by the time she's born (or when they present you with the birth certificate thing to fill out). Maybe you just need to see what she looks like. I remember even though I had Cale's name picked out a little in advance, I kept calling him Kyle after...

Jen, your baby no-name comment almost had my butt falling off the chair. Totally caught me off guard...had to laugh. = ) I ate junk for the past 2 wks with Christmas treats. I had a dr appt today and totally expected to have gained 6 lbs, but only gained 2. Shock! I asked the dr about...

Jess, I think I might look into one of the belly support things. Toward the end of my treadmilling I was holding my belly up. LOL Maybe (fingers crossed) they'll have one at one of the consignment/secondhand stores. It would be scary to have strong cramps after working out. Mine aren't that...
