Hi girls!!!I hope all of you had nice weekend!!!
Peachy, you had whole weekend to make that picture! Well, where is it?? Drooling on velvet pillows at your house?...I dont have velvet ones, but we had to teach our dogs how not to get on couches anymore, for new house we did buy 3 sets for 3 sitting areas and even leather is very easy to clean, we decided would be good time for new habits. And it was easy, they did try just few times. But when I got here back and they did see old sofas, they were up in second. I found my self draging old wooden chair from garage, to have something in living room to sit on......and than I realized, that visitors are comming soon, so I started to tell them "NO" again.....but stupid me, I feel so bad when they look at me with so sad eyes.....
Kathy, I would not be so worry about 10 pounds up right now, you are tinny and tinny ones can gain more then fatty ones like me, no? I was thinking I did read that somewhere.... Yes, after delivering, you will with others have weight loos thread and me , Peachy and maybe some others - we will have lipo & plastic surgerry one and we will be beging for some donations, hahahaha.
Maggie, glad you like belly pictures, you will post yours just after Peachy, right? That is what you did say, right? No, we dont scare here eachothers with pictures, hahaha, we are just trying to look at Nature and her wariety and having a joy from it. And how me and my not-DH got here and end up on farm? well, we have in front of us another 6 months to go, so maybe one day soon we all will write our life stories here and laugh about our lifes to make that waiting for our due dates shorter. I am sure that will be interesting.....!!!!
Havana, first time I did see Dirty dancing when I was about 20 and I did love it that time, well, even now when I catch it on TV and am alone I do watch it and think about times, when I did see it first time and did hold hands in movie theatre with one of my old boyfriend.... we were both good dancers and were going to dance twice a week for years and this movie... - we did see ourselfs in it!!! hahahahahaha
You look like you are the one of these extra-small sizes, so I cant wait to see your photos before and after, I am sure we will see some diference!!! Post it!!! Hurry up!!!!
Cat, girl, I know you wish everything here will get better soon, but older we get less expectations we have, theirs (men's) heads are like that plant, I think vegetable it is, after best time you harvest it and than with time it get harder and harder and empty..... what is name of that vegetable?? Somebody knows? It is just good for decoration........nothing else. (Dont laugh!!!!hahaha)
I am not stressing over that, I want to have calm time and I do have it now. It is not like we would not see or talk with each other, both houses are across the road. If he needs time to figure things out, put his acts together and learn to be better, I can give him few months, I have time.
And yes, I do get use of pool, yesterday I was cutting grass again, it was so hot hot out, so after that, I was happy to have somethig to jump in. Yes, come visit, where and what time I should pick you up??? You will feel here like at home, dogs are snorring too!!!!!! LAUD!!! But you can have closed door.....

Ok, this week, girls, I will know results.........I will let you know.....I am ready.........

Welcome to the due date board SunRae!

Alana- I’m glad you are feeling better, it’s nice to see you over here visiting

Robin- I can’t believe the monitor finally came! nice much to my surprise I only used the doppler once. My mother in law took pictures and my 3 year nephew wanted to operate it, I felt like a specimen

Boston- your wedding sounded great My hubby and I had one as well (In Jamaica) we had 30 guests. Even after all the weddings I’ve been to, 6 years later I don’t regret a thing!

Mirka & Peachy- great U/S pics! So cute!

Hello to everyone else!

I can't believe we only have a few day left here the christening went great today, the baby was so good and he looked super adorable in the little outfit we bought him! I think my tummy has grown since I’ve been here ( don’t know if its the food or the baby )

Anyway, I’m glad to see its alive and kicking in here! I’m going to update the chart and then head off to bed!

Talk to you soon!

Hi Girls!
Seems like everyone has been enjoying the outdoors this weekend! I just finished doing an open house at one of my listings. It's a brand new house so it's nice and clean but the builders always turn the air conditioning off since no one is living there. It was killing me today! When it is 97 degrees outside, there is just no way to cool a house down in the two hours I was there. I swear I am chooping my hair off on Thursday and Havana will have to be my witness

Mirka, you're always making me laugh. I've given up on keeping the drooling dog off the sofa. He has taken over one of the chairs permanently and has those big sad eyes. I'll post a picture of them together. And, I promise the stomach picture will make it online soon... then we can start researching our lipo!

Havana - sign me up for Dirty Dancing!

Cat - I'm exhausted all afternoon and have complete insomnia at night so I feel your pain!

Time to lounge for me. DH took the dog for some exercise so I can claim my spot

[JustPeachy]

Maybebaby - Glad to hear the trip has been fun and you're joining us in the growing stomach party!

[Boston77]

Peachy - I may have to bit the bullet and try some of the longer shirts. The problem I have with them is that, because I am short, they look like dresses on me! When I held them up to me, they were SOOOO long because my belly isn't big enough yet to push it out. hahaha

Catherine - GREAT belly picture!!!!!

I just went to Destination Maternity...they have Mootherhood, Mimi, and A Pea in the Pod all in one place (they're all the same company). Everything was swimming on me. It's funny you mention the personal shopper...I brought my DH with me and, when he saw how things were fitting, he said, "Do you think Johanna will shop for maternity clothes?" (Johanna is the personal shopper...so I may have to call her just to save myself some aggravation....or just take your suggestion and fly on down to DC so you can help me!) I haven't see GAP maternity at the mall near me...I'll have to check on-line to see if there is one at another mall nearby. Though their regular clothes usually don't fit me very well...I'm realizing it's a whole new ball game with these maternity clothes!!

Ladies, I have been SO sick the past few days. I was starting to feel pretty good but, today and yesterday I have been SO incredibly nauseous and I've had the complete opposite of constipation (sorry for the TMI). Earlier today I was feeling so weak I just had to sit down and then I felt like I did the last time I had food poisoning...I started sweating so bad I had to rip my clothes off and I had to sit on the toilet and hold a trash bucket near my face at the same time (again, sorry for the TMI). Thank goodness I was at home. I really hope that something I ate didn't make me sick...ugh. I was really hoping to get a lot of packing done this weekend but, I was feeling so bad, I just couldn't do much besides nap off and on all day!

How is everyone else feeling?

[cat915]

boston! yuck! Sounds like either the flu or some nasty stomach bug. hOpefully it passes quickly! Are you keeping fluids down? be careful about that, my aunt was hospitalized when preg w/ the flu just to make sure baby was getting enough liquid! The offer stands, anytime you come to dc, i will outfit you! There are a lot of non maternity clothes out there right now that are flowy-skirts, shirts and dresses- you might have to make it your style for a bit- i bet you can pull it off Oh and did your old navy stuff come in? OH And pea in the pod carries designer maternity denim- did you try any 7 jeans on?

Peachy, I love the picture of the dogs, our dog's asleep on the floor. He got to go swimming today and is very tired. How's the mint ice cream tonight? And I didn't realize that both you & havana are agents! Cool!

maybebaby- glad to hear the christening went well- hope the trip home is easy, thanks for the chart.

Mirka- well, you have about 25 more weeks till the baby comes and hopefully Dh will come to his senses by then. My DH seldom apologizes, usually I am the one who says we have to talk it out and then we have a big discussion that usually ends up w/ me crying and him feeling like crap for making me cry - so we all have our moments in our marriages- good luck! Oh, and you should get yourself a ticker. I"ve got my fingers crossed for good cvs results!

[Boston77]

OK, now I've caught up on all the posts!

Mirka - I LOVE your belly shot!! (And the dogs!)

Havana- I'll definitely let you know if I find a good place for clothes!! The resort you went to sounds great...who doesn't love Dirty Dancing??

maybebaby - good to hear from you...I can't believe you're updating the list while on vacation! You're so good! I hope you're have a wonderful time!!

Peachy - I love the lounging dogs!


Also, just wanted to apologize for my constant complaining about how I'm feeling. Honestly, I am a pretty tough cookie when it comes to being sick and pain tolerance. I handled a collapsed lung and chest tube with no problem (though the morphine drip helped some, I'm sure..hahaha)...colds and flu, OK, bring them on, 3 laporoscopies - a walk in the park. But, I have just been feeling so darn terrible off and on lately and I can't talk to any of my non-IF website girlfriends that have kids to see if it's normal. So, thanks for letting me complain.

[cat915]

Boston, complain away! I don't think you're complaining really at all! And if you were, it's totally allowed

boston- there's some 7 & blue cult jeans on sale at ebay-- what size does a 30 equate to? I"m thinking that may fit me now.

Thanks...I'm hoping it passes quickly too!! I am keeping fluids down so, that's good. And I've been nibbling on toast.

I haven't been to DC in ages...it would be so fun to go back! You're tempting me! hahaha I do like the look of the flowy tops and dresses...I just feel like they always look like too much fabric on me. But, I'm not the most fashion-conscious person so, what do I know anyway? I am sure they look great. Really, I want to wear my PJ's all day long...so darn comfy! hahaha My Old Navy stuff hasn't come yet (pout, pout) and I didn't bother trying on the designer denim at A Pea in The Pod....when I saw how big the pants I tried on for work were, I didn't bother trying the casual clothes. I get frustrated with shopping pretty easily, huh? I am sure once my belly is bigger things there will fit better. I am eagerly awaiting my Old Navy delivery so I'll at least have some comfy clothes to wear on the weekends!!!

Thanks, Catherine.

Hmmm...my 7's are 25's and 26's I think. And for my pants for work, I'm either a 0 or 2...correction: I WAS a 0 or 2. I don't know how many inches would equal an increase in US sizes...maybe 2" per size? But I don't know how Blue Cult fits...I know in Paige Denim, I had to get a 27 in their skinny jeans (which I think I wore exactly 3 times because, really, skinny jeans just aren't that comfortable for all-day wear. )

[JustPeachy]

Cat - 30 should be about an 8. Measure your hips ans see if that will work since they'll hit there.

Boston - Complain away! We'll all be doing lots of that soon! I know the heat had me on the toilet yesterday for the first time in this whole process

[JustPeachy]

Boston - how about Anthropologie? Do you have that store? They have tons of empire waist styles right now.

[Boston77]

Yes, there is an Antropologie in Back Bay (Boston). I'll add it to my list!!! It looks like Nordstrom's website has some fun maternity stuff too...so I need to do some browsing on-line there (the closest store is in Providence, RI...the one near my house doesn't open until Sept. And, as much as I LOVE the store, I hate making the drive to get there.)

[Mirka]

Thanks girls!!!
Peachy, you did say that your dogs are drooling on velvet pilow, you didnt say, that they are also wiping theirs butts in it!!!! hahahaha, I know, I know, you love them, you would do anything for them, velvet is just so soft........
Love the picture! Wait when I will post mine...hahahaha
