getting ready to watch idol results

All I can say is WoW .. Yikes on the man pregnancy.

Josee I didn't post a bump picture yet. The picture I took was with my phone and not the best, and I'm in my undies LOL. I'll post one when I get home next week.

Yeah, Devan - The offer was from American Airlines. I'd love to work for them but I can't make it make sense on paper. I've got a few days to think it over and maybe negotiate with them but I'm not too hopeful that they'll get close.

Jen - I hope you're not getting too sick! Seems like everyone is coming down with something. Yuck.

April - Glad to hear you're feeling a little better. I'll bet your body is just worn out. Get a good night's sleep if you can!!

Amy - You okay? Any word from your OBGYN?

Susan - No clue on what to do about the trip. I'd say call the Dr. and let them advise you. I'd hate for you to be in pain the whole time you're supposed to be relaxing and having fun!

Heidi - I'm not working with any recruiters right now. Just on my own. If I could find a good recruiter, I'd definitely use their services but I haven't come across any that seem to be worth it. Maybe I'm not looking in the right places yet.

Devan - You're so frickin' cute! I'm in awe that you've been away from home so long, are very pregnant, and still have the gorgeous smile and great attitude. You rock!!

Rachael - How's the real estate market by you? Slow as snails for DH right now.

Hmmm. I heard rumors of the pregnant man. I can't believe it's true. Guess I need to read the article.

I've got too many men around here already. I swear if Jo doesn't kill me than the dog is getting a shock collar to cut back on all this nonsense barking. Twice today just as Aiden is closing his eyes the dog starts howling. I couldn't get him back to sleep for a nap after this last attempt. But, if I lock the dog on the other side of the house then he just barks nonstop. Urgh. He never barked when our other dog was alive but he seems to have now designated himself guardian of the household. He's about to become guardian of an outdoor crate and I'm a huge pet lover!!

Devan - You always look so great even in fatigues!

Alana - Heidi is right. Target has great maternity clothes but I'm not sure if they are in Canada. You could order online. Their clothes are very reasonable so you don't feel guilty buying lots!

Heidi - I was wondering through the maternity at Target today too and had to drag myself away from the elastic

Susan - When your tummy gets tight, you're right those are the BH. When is your trip? Things might calm down in a week. I can't remember but I think mine was around 28 weeks. I had horrible BH and cramps for about 4 hours one night that I could actual time. Should have gone to the ER but I was too stubborn to wake dh. Don't be me!

Ronni - I am sorry neither of the jobs are quite right. Any way you could take the AA job and then get a guaranteed review and raise with a positive review in 3 months or 6 months? Any kind of compromise? I think the 90 minute commute each way would be miserable in the long run too.

My mom just called me to watch Larry King Live. Talking about vaccines and autism. Scary stuff...

[JustPeachy]

Ronni - The market here is ok but way down from a year ago. Our broker keeps semi-teasing us that no sales = no money = no broker and we are the number #1 office in Atlanta

[hopeful2bmom]

Ok, I am getting swollen and puffy. Just took my BP and it is fine. Peeing ok too. In fact, just peed my pants when I sneezed. Maybe I am just getting fat?
Not moving is making me puffy.

I am going to the OB Friday unless they want me in sooner.
Devan I love your pics!

Ronni- The perfect job will fall into your lap when the time is right!

Rach- I think i am having more stretching pain today than BH. I hope.

[hannah01]

susan, when you get the pains from standing up or moving around, is it like a charlie-horse in the stomach? (VERY painful, but then disappears after short time) if so, those are probably round ligament pains. it does kind of sound like you're going through a growth spurt, and am guessing the little one is moving her way up!

[designdiva32]

I have one thing to say tonight...I LOVE my highlights! lol. I realize now how bad the regrowth was now that I've finally had them done again. My new hairdresser is great too. I'm so much happier having them done.

Susan, I'm getting worried over here hun. Are you sure you are doing okay? I'd call the OB if you aren't sure, its better to be safe than sorry. I'm sure everythings fine but heck, after all we've been through I don't care if I'm annoying people...I'm going to phone them all day if I like!

Devan, how cute are you in uniform. I can't wait to see a bump pic. You mentioned also you weren't very hungry lately. Thats now my problem...I'm actually a bit freaked out. My DH asked me today what I'd eaten and when I told him I realized how little it was. I barely eat at all...the morning sickness has gone and its taken my appetite with it!! Any of you other preggers girls experience the same thing? Is this normal??

Ronni...90 minutes!! Thats insane, I'm glad you turned that down. You would have very quickly resented a commute like that. Imagine if something happened at home and you had to get back quickly. It would be soooo frustrating. Something will come along hun, for both you and my DH. Its just that annoyng waiting game in the meantime. Ugh...we are always waiting aren't we!

I think I should make some toast now that I've mentioned my lack of appetite. I feel really guilty I'm not feeding the baby properly or something. I'm just soooooo not hungry these days. Maybe I should make a protein shake instead.

Oh and Rachael and Heidi, thanks for the tip on Target maternity stuff. I'm going to check their online store out tomorrow.

[JustPeachy]

I had lots of nights with no appetite. I swear I lived on PBJ for dinner, and Raisan Bran for breakfast. I kept joking that I wished I kept track of how much of each I ate during my pregnancy and how many boxes of tissues I went through with my constant colds.

My little guy was been weird two nights in a row. Doesn't nap after 7:30, just stays up straight till his bath at 9:30, and refuses to take a bottle after the 7:30 feeding. Which means he goes 12 hours without a bottle. I don't know. Maybe his acid reflux acts up at night too when he is flat and that's why he doesn't want to eat? I feel guilty but he screams when I try to get him to take the bottle. I must have the only baby that doesn't want a bottle before bed. I know he doesn't get it from dh.... he's a major midnight snacker!

Off to relax in bed and watch a little Sex in the City while dh is at work. My guilty pleasure

[ara79]

devan, how CUTE are you??? i just got your text a little bit ago (screwy phone!) and you are one hot momma in your uniform! we miss you! i can't wait for you to be happily at home.

ronni, job searching is the pits. sorry things aren't working out for you. i know you are frustrated, but something will come along and it will be perfect for you! hang in there!

susan, i hope that everything is ok. let us know!

alana, i am so happy that you love your highlights!

tia, i am a huge americal idol fan too! i knew that ramielle was going home tonight. poor thing, i felt sorry for her having to sing.

jen and april...where are the pics from your date lastnight???

keeping all fingers and toes crossed that there is no nose vomitting tonight. i feel sick, but i just had a very bland baked potatoe, so hopefully that will keep me from having another bad night.

hi rachel, martie, josee, heidi, brenna, shawna and kelly! hope everyone is having a good night! i am sure i missed someone...our group is growing!

[designdiva32]

I'm a Sex and the City addict! I have almost all the series on DVD, I'm just missing one or two. I'm also hanging out for the movie. I can't wait.

I'm pretty much surviving on toast here too Rachael. In fact DH was getting worried so he drove us to the store to stock me up on protein shakes so at least I get some nutrients into me. Honestly, today I had a piece of toast and then later one slice of cheese and I was full. How on earth is a baby supposed to grow with a diet like that?!!

[ara79]

i HEART sex in the city! i cannot wait for the movie!

[MamaSoon]

I can't wait for the movie either! Only 60 more days!
YAY!

Ronni - 2 offers at once has to be a confidence booster! the drive is a big deal especially once you have your child. I hope you get a sweeter deal on the other one. Do you have any other prospects right now?

So Rachael, did you love the movie American Beauty with those agents?

[ara79]

lol josee, love that you have a count down!

[hopeful2bmom]

Kris- the pain when I stand up is more like menstrual cramps.

Alana- when I was at were you are I had no appetite. But beware! It has snuck back up on me and I am ravenous lately. I have gained more weight in the last week than I did in the entire first trimester.

Oh -I forgot I went blonde a few days ago. I don;t have the camera now but I will post tomorrow.
DH is still not home from work. Stuck in the OR trying to get cases done so we can go away.
Think I am going to nod off.

Rach- Did you get a front carrier like a Baby Bjorn?
I ordered the Ergo Baby. Have you heard of this?
And yikes! Your stroller is super expensive! I hope someone bought that for you!
