Rach- Your SIL would make my blood boil.

Devan- Sorry about the blue hair. Sally should def have it.
Thanks for texting Amy. Hopefully she was ok and just went on with her night.

I am off to bed now. Nite,nite.

[MamaSoon]

Love you too, Rach! Your SIL is sad. She has such issues that she is a ****ty uterus, mom, SIL, DIL, and auntie. What a loser. I do feel bad that she is suffering from a disease as horrible as anorexia. I think that is really too bad. I am glad you got some family time. How was your other SIL? I think I'll call her SIL and the other one PILL. LOL!

Don't worry about me. I know my Daddy loves me tons and tons and tons. He just isn't very good with words and emotions. I get that it is more fun to be with 3 little angel girls than an aging 35 year old. LOL. But he would do anything for me. I think that is why it is easier for me not to get torn in half about what he said. I believe he loves just as much as them.

Please let this cycle work for. Please God!

Unfortunately with anorexia there is no ryhme and there is no reason. It is a terrible disease to fight, often one that no one on the outside understands. The reason why I know this, I too was annorexic from the time I was 16/17 until I was 21. I looked in the mirror and saw so much fat, I couldn't stand myself. My family looked at me and saw skin and bones. I'd cry if I thought I'd eaten too much, there were times that I got sick and was telling myself that it was because I had a bug but I know now it wasn't. I feel for your SIL Racheal, but I feel more for you having to watch it. I hope that some day she will recognize what she has done to her body and to her babies, I hope that day will come before it's too late!!!

Heidi- I misread, yes it's Marissa going swimming. I'm a little out of it. Sorry Hun!! Love DD's comment too btw, she is so cute, she puts a smile on my face! TY for sharing her with us!

I'm having a pretty rough night. Just got off the phone with my dad, he tried to down play it but it sounds like my grandfather is dying. I am pretty heart broken. I lost my first grandpa when I was 7 and I have always thought (stupidly I might add) that my dad's dad would live forever, that nothing could touch him! He had a slip and fall shortly before DH and I met and start dating and had to have brain surgery for a anerusim. At that time they gave him 5-7 years before he started to go down hill. DH and I have been together almost. So I guess it's getting ot be 5 years. I am so heart broken, what if somethign happens to him and I can't go to say goodbye for some reason?! I love my Grandpa so much. I'm trying to remind myself that we don't live forever and that he has had a long life and that i shouldn't get myself worked up, but this is my Papa! The one who cried at my wedding....

[MamaSoon]

Shawna. I hope your grandpa is doing ok.

[jencat215]

Kris-I just love that pic of Simon in the sink. And you have a little gansta in the making...it does look like he is flashing some gang signs. Maybe that means it is time to move out of LA...

Rachael-your SIL needs a really good smacking. I hate when people like that complain about food. And it really makes me sad that she is starving her unborn baby. I hope her children don't grow up to be like her. Is this brother (the bad SIL) the Dr? Anyway, to let you know about eating chips, well DH and I went to Chili's tonight and I pretty much at 1/2 that huge basket of chips and salsa (DH is pretty good at eating too, the skinny bastard!) with 2 refills of the salsa (3 all together) and a side of ranch. With my dinner of soup and salad. Yes, I feel so full that I wish I hadn't eaten, but would I do it again? Hells yeah cause I really like those dam n chips and salsa (and ranch!). So, now I look 6 months pregnant with bloated belly.
Sorry about the side track story. Anyway, if your parents can adopt my DH, we can be SILs and I will be a lot more sensitive and friendly. And I will take parenting tips from you

I want a SIL. My BIL probably will be a bachelor for life (actually Kris, he really is cute so if you are interested...). BIL is our only chance at being an aunt/uncle one day. That kind of makes me sad.

Shawna- You are a very smart girl to see what you were going through and come out on the other side. Recovering from an eating disorder is really hard. You are a beautiful person inside and out.
I am sorry about your grandpa. Does he live near you? Can you go visit?

[MamaSoon]

Chips and salsa sound good right now. I am up watching a dvd from the show "Tell Me You Love Me". I swear it is like softcore porn.

[ara79]

hey girls. i just got back from the hospital. i called my ob and he said that anytime you fall during pregnancy that you need to be monitored. so, 4 hours of monitoring later, i am home and everything is fine. i am so tired i can't think straight, so i will catch up tomorrow.

[MamaSoon]

so so so glad Lily is ok, Amy. Sleepy sleep now.

Me too! Night!

[Angelwithhope]

Amy- So glad things are alright!!

Jen- Grandpa and Grandma live south of Alana actually. It would cost us a thousand bucks or more for a flight (Which we don't have thanks to IVF) or we could drive but it would be a four day drive and I swear my inlaws would moan the entire time we were away for leaving the biz so much. I suppose DH and I will have to talk about it and see what we decide. I've been crying off and on all night. I don't want this to bring me down, but I just love my grampy so much. It's eating me away...I hope my dad is wrong....

[hopeful2bmom]

Morning.
Shawna- I am so sorry to hear about your grandpa. I miss mine so much. I think he must be the big, yellow butterfyl outside of my window all of the time though. He and my grandma are watching down on me.
Has he been really sick for a while?


Amy- Glad you and Liliy are doing well! Take those high heels off now! It's time to start wearing flip flops!
Or slippers like me!

[parker john]

amy ... i am so glad that you and lily are ok ... rest some more today

rach ... i would love to slap you sil in the face then tie her down and shove mcdonalds down her throat! wow ... crazy thought but pretty funny huh?

shawna ... i hope your grandpa gets stronger and stronger everyday

jen ... i feel totally bloated after every time i eat ... i wonder if that is normal?

i got a nice 45 minute walk in the morning on the treadmill ... it felt really good

we are going to see a play today ... my niece is playing in snow white ... i guess she only has a few lines but it will be good to see her in action ...

[jencat215]

Tia-I think it is perfectly normal to feel bloated after each meal. At least, I feel perfectly bloated after each meal. Good for you getting on some exercise this AM. We are going over to the gym and resigning up today.

Amy-glad you and Lily are doing well. Were you wearing high heels (or was Susan playing)? Now, you may not believe this, but I have quite a few pairs of high heels in my closet, but I won't be even looking at them for the next year! I am way too klutzy. I am worried about falling during the winter when I will be super big, though.

Shawna-screw your ILs. This is YOUR grandpa. You will find a way to visit. I can't believe how expensive intra-Canada flights are. I lost all of my grandparents very young. DH just lost his 2 grandpas, but has his 2 grandmas. If either started getting sick, we'd move heaven and earth to go visit. I know you will too.

[mia23]

Shawna- So sorry about your grandpa. My papa is in a similar situation. The doctors keep gearing us up for the worst and then he keeps pulling thru and is okay for a few weeks. It is very hard. I willl pray for you to find strength and peace .

Amy- So glad you are okay.

Rachel- Sorry your Sil was a butt. But at least your mom is realizing that there needs to be a second travel crib. Thats progress.

[ara79]

girls, girls...NO i wasn't wearing high heels! i was wearing flat sandals. but i do have a couple of pair of wedges that i still wear. in fact, i think i feel sturdier in those than i do those dang sandals i had on yesterday.

shawna, i am so very sorry to hear about your grandpa. i'm thinking about you.

tia, how cute! have fun at the play.

[ara79]

did i ever tell you guys about my SIL who slipped on a grape at the grocery store? she was 7 months pregnant, slipped and fell, landing on her butt, and called her dr. dr told her to get monitored and she spent the next 8 weeks in the hospital until she had to deliver my nephew early. she had damaged her placenta and the babies blood was mixed in w/ hers. so, not to scare anyone, but if you are pregnant and you do fall...please go get monitored. even at the hospital lastnight, my nurse said that she has seen woman come in a few days after falling and it isn't always a good ending.
