Barbara -- You've still got the heartburn? I guess it wasn't just that thing you ate the other day. Definitely keep three meals in you, or better yet, try for the five or six smaller meals.

Mary Kay -- Call and ask if you can bump your u/s to Monday! They sort of suprised me when they called today.

Lia - there really not 3 meals its just three things I am forcing myself to eat.

1/2 bagel for breakfast
1/2 grilled chicken w/ fresh mozz. & balsamic vinegar
bowl of cheerios for dinner or grape nuts ( I love them)

Everything isnt appealing.
this is what I typically force myself to eat. How can I make this into 6...LOL..

What are you guys eating do you have an appetite?

[bq122]

Good Morning to all my thread sisters...T.G.I.F..

Hope everyone has a gread day..Dont forget we need a volunteer for the QOTD?

God Bless..

[Rademaker]

Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome! I don't know how we ended up with twins and frankly am quite nervous about the whole thing but just looking at it as God blessed us twice. I hope He continues to bless all of us in this whole venture.

I have a QOTD- Where, outside of the US, would you like to visit? (money is no object in this question!) And of course, why?

[bq122]

Congratulations on the twins....

QOTD? If I could go anywhere and money is no object I would like to go to Italy, the whole country.

Easy...

1/4 Bagel for breakfast
1/2 grilled chicken w/fresh mozz & balsamic vinegar
The other 1/4 of the bagel for afternoon
12 cheerios and 16 grapenuts for dinner
16 cheeries and 12 grapenuts for evening snack
1 huge 4 course meal (including soup and salad) for midnight supper

Good grief, woman, you definitely need to eat more! There are two of you sharing you body right now, remember??

QOTD: Italy, concentrating mostly on Venice, because I'm a complete junkie for Venetian architecture and history, and that's one of the places I didn't get to visit when I went to Italy many years ago. 2nd choice would be Brazil...and I mean all of Brazil, rainforests, city, jungles, you name it.

Good morning everyone!!

[~Rae~]

QOTD...I'd love to go to Spain.

[bq122]

Oh yeah I would like to go to spain, australia
and london if money is not the issue why do I have to pick one place?????? LOL...

[cali_girl_in_sweden]

I hope everything is okay

[cali_girl_in_sweden]

Hard to say since I live in Europe now I have been all over the place

I'd love to go to Australia. My hubby has been there several times so we haven't quite planned to go there yet.

What's nice about Sweden is we get 5 weeks vacation so can go pretty far. We also get a year and a half paid maternity leave That still blows me away ... my hubby gets six months I love this country

Good morning everyone!!

Lia I have never been a big eater..I am trying though.
Real hard...The funny thing is I want soft vanilla ice cream preferably french vanilla with carmel and nuts.
Give or take with whipped cream. I would love one every day. I fight myself not too.

Now here's the funny part..I DONT LIKE ICE CREAM. I worked at a Haagen Dazs as a kid and they had nothing to worry about it, did nothing for me..

What do you think should I give in to the stupid craving or just ignore it and maybe it will pass.

[russelle36]

QOTD-I'd love to go to Santorini, Greece or Bora Bora, or Italy, or anywhere! I love to travel.

Scarlet-How awesome that you will get a year and a half of paid maternity leave and that your husband will get 6 months. I'm jealous. The lack of paid maternity leave in this country is so sad to me...

Patricia-Waiting to hear about your ultrasound today! One or two?

[Rademaker]

I know! I was excited that I'm actually taking the full 12 weeks when I have our babies. With my DS, I only took 6 weeks and it wasn't even paid. I'm moving to Sweden!!

Everybody feeling okay today? Anybody else just want to sleep, sleep, sleep??

[SoCaL916]

Hi ladies! I'm been a lurker for awhile. I just posted in the ivf thread regarding blood blots. I've been reluctant to post because of what I've been experiencing. But I need your support and prayers.

1. Your real first name, (to include with your screen name)- Elizabeth but please call me Liz
2. Your bean count- August 27th
3. Your due date- April 13th
4. Any important appointments you have coming up- Bean Count August 27th

Right now I'm worried about my pregnancy. I haven't experience any type pregnancy symptoms expect tiredness and sore boob that I feel are contributed by the pio's. I'm really scared because I've been passing a number of good size clots. Per my nurse I'm on bedrest and I should just monitor my bleeding. But how can I not be freaked out when clots are coming out. So please keep me in your prayers. Any advice would greatly be apprectiated.

QOTD: I would love to go to Brazil and Japan.
