okay, you girls really need to stop posting like this. And Amy, bite me. I did take a taco dinner break during the read
 Amy-you are as beautiful as ever. You are just all baby belly. Susan-you too. I don't see a fat butt, arms or anything else. You've got a great belly. Tia- I LOVE YOU!!!  Josee-you naughty girl  DH would totally be thrilled for a romp in the hay right now, but I am too tired. Shawna-you are so darn cute. I want to adopt you. All those crazy emotions you are having? Chalk it up to pregnancy. And it will only get worse Marissa-figure out what day you are. You are probably way too early to be testing. Why stress yourself out like that? Put down those sticks! April-thanks for checking on the Combos. Next time you fly to Chicago, you can pick some up, then fly them down to Denver for me Devan-I can't believe they won't put you on modified work schedule. You take it easy. I wish Derrick was there so he could pamper you at night...  Rach-glad grandpa is doing a better today. I can't wait to see those pics of Aiden! Oh Amy, tell your mom to STEP OFF! I don't think I would deal well with that either. Kris-I used to love reading VC Andrews, until I found out that she died a long time ago and had a ghost writer...that was weird. Kelly-I forgot what I was going to say to you. Was today an okay day? Still going down on the predisone? I used to get so hormonal on it and would cry at the drop of a hat. Oh, I called my OB's office today and she said that I could stop my heparin shots! I have to double up on the baby aspirin, but no more shots!I went to the gym after work with DH. I did light (very light) arm weights (and I was huffing! I am such a wimp now!) and 12 minutes walking on the treadmill. I am wiped out. When is that 2nd trimester energy going to come on? I guess since tomorrow is officially the start of it, I can wait one more day

Amy, I would totally say something to your mom. I'd think about how I'd like to be told and then just say that.
Rach, i got so excited when i saw links in your post but they are for the mobile. Susan, thanks sweetie. and go glad you have a good plan for your delivery. I am sure DH will get there as fast he can. I am off for a bit to research for my vacay. I'll be back in a bit for my Aiden pictures.

Yay Jen!!! You are about to enter your 2nd trimester. I am tearing up over here!!!
Tia - congratz on stopping the PIO!  Yeah the story of my parents divorce was heartbreaking. Who spends 35 years together - very passionate marriage and just walks out. He had no idea. She actually served him papers while he was doing a rootcanal. Then when he got home, all her stuff was gone. I was devastated when she called me. I didn't talk to her for months. My father has dated some. He is on JDATE Rach!! Anyway, guess I am going to drink some sleepy time and read my book. Night lovely ladies!!

Evening Ladies!
Jen- it took me forever to catch up too!!! ARg! Far too chatty lately aren't we?! Amy- You look awesome! As do you Mrs Susan!!! Phoebe will be here soon I am sure!!! Josee- Rowrrrr!! Naughty naughty!!!!  lucky girl! Kris- I think you could try to lock Simon away but it wouldn't last long! Heidi- Good luck tomorrow! Glad you are safe! Rach- Can't wait to see the pics. The story of your mom makes me think of my MIL. My FIL every christmas buys her a piece of jewellry, I see it Christmas day and then she puts it away, never to be worn again. Why?!?!? Just why?!?!?! Kelly- Yay for feeling good Sweetie!! Wooohooooo!!! Marissa- I echo what CD are you? And, you should try retesting with the first response. Can you take a pic of the lines for us? Shelly- More pics please! Martie- You too please! Ilove you avatar! Does anyone know how Jo is doing lately? Devan- Glad you went to get checked out!!!!!!! *Sigh* The day has been so crappy. The worst part of it all, is that i feel like a total fraud. I'm only four weeks, and I have this big belly....I should love it, but I just want to hide, I'm not that pregnant and I don't like the stares and such. I mean I don't even want to go around DH's family for fear of them thinking I am just a big fat pig. I knwo my SIL will know right away what I am dealing with, but DH's sister can be so cruel about us getting pregnant that I just don't want to go there. I'm depressed and I want ice cream but I told myself no ice cream until after the first trimester. Tomorrow i am four weeks....

Shawna-my belly has surpassed my boobs, and you remember how jinormous those things are! And I am barely 13 weeks! Lots of it has to do with bloat, and you have some OHSS going on. I don't care what anyone things. I look huge, but I am okay with it. I'll fill out more with baby as things go along. And I am so full of sh*t right now (literally...I need to start taking colace, which I will do tomorrow afternoon. Don't want to wind up needing to 'go' at work!)

shawna, ok...with the whole no ice cream thing, did you cut out all cold things? like ice water too? i am confused.
i know i should say something to my mom, but i am nervous i will hurt her feelings. she really is trying to be helpful. i think i will wait until she does it again and then just very calmly explain how it makes me feel and that from now on, i want to learn from my own mistakes. i am grumpy-pants tonight.

shawna, forgot to say...that i too remembered feeling so awkward w/ my ohss. it was a strange feeling. i wasn't ready to tell people i was pregnant and i looked 6 months. just hang in there, hopefully it will start to get better. just don't be too disapointed if it lasts for awhile. my saving grace was my belly band that i could wear w/ all of my regular pants.

I am so impatient! Ok... these don't look nearly as good as the real thing but you'll get the idea and I better get that link tomorrow!!
Amy - I think a little heart to heart might be in store with your mom. Can you break it gently? Tell her you can talk about it again after the showers but you spent a lot of time researching. The lily thing is going to be tough. Kelly - Your story breaks my heart. A very similar thing happened to my cousin. She still hasn't gotten over it and he moved the new wife into the old house. So sad. Shawna - Just try to enjoy that fun little tummy. It won't be small for long! I know it's emotional. Jen - We just miss you too much!! Yay for Tia stopping PIO and Jen stopping Heparin!! Alright... let's see if this works at all... this is so cheesy. I need to learn some patience...

Ok you guys, I was gone for a few hours and had like 6 pages to catch up on..I guess I am going to have to start taking notes, cause I can't remember what I was going to respond to from the 1st page I missed!
Amy..You look so cute in your pictures. You have a great figure! Susan..You too..and was that brain matter I saw on the camera? jk..ok, that was gross, sorry.  Josee..You naughty thing! Sneaking upstairs like that. Heidi..I'm glad everything turned out ok at work..That is kind of scary! Jen..I can't believe you are to the 2nd trimester already..Woot! Who is starting lupron? Josee? Ok, I seriously can't keep up! Speaking of lupron..I told Mel if we ever get another dog I am naming it Lupron. Or Menses.Ok, I am weird.
