Hey AM, thanks!! I'm wondering about Elsa?? I've been on following the progress and rooting for everyone just not posting much. I hate to throw sadness in all this happiness but I was laid off this week so I have been a little sad but seeing all these & excitment has really made me happy. See and I told you your outcome could be different from what you experienced in the past....in this case I like being right!!!

Oh man - that sucks. I'm sorry to hear about you being laid off. I hope this turns out to be a case of one door closing while another (bigger and better) one opens.

I used Palmers Cocoa Butter my whole pregnany with LP. I have just started putting Calendula cream on his face for eczema - it is supposed to be good for any skin ailments - maybe that would help?

Big Babies!! How exciting!! Do you have their names picked out?

AM - Thanks for the tip, it is making me crazy we. Baby Boy will be Gabriel(Gabe) Avard(strange I know pr. Avid DH's g-pa's name) Baby Girl is Jenna(please no porn star jokes ) Taylor(my maiden name). We had huge fights about names because he wanted to use the strange name as a first name, no way that was going to happen. When we found out it was twins we each got to pick a middle name so it worked out perfectly.

I'm so excited for all the positive pg tests!

That's the ticket....was actually at C's friend's 1st birthday, I'm a real classy one, 'eh? Haven't done that but once since she was born and now I remember why. Good thing they live w/in walking distance.

25's are probably a bit too small for me you skinny thing!! i am drinking a buttload of water, so i doubt it will help. one of those things i guess.

ok so i am realizing i have so much to learn before this little one gets here. i am glad i have some experienced moms that i can turn to for advice. i do know that i will probably be registering in about a 3-4 weeks and that is totally overwhelming me! i need a list of "must-haves" and "not neccessaries".

get to find out what this little one is in a little more than a week...super pumped about it. i am feeling pink, but who knows!
