Rachael I love those rooms. Aiden is one lucky kid. I showed DH your photos and he asked if you were from the south- the big airy rooms and dark furniture. I told him GA and that I wanted to move there for that type of architecture!!!

I found the post I was referring to and put it on FB under 'irritated'. Sorry for ranting but I was irritated when I read it.

Thanks Jen! I'm definitely a nester type. Drives DH nuts everytime we move and I'm obsessed with being settled immediately. Ok, so I just logged on to FB, found the post back here, and responded. I'm with you on this one Jen. It just can't be all about image going through this process. You've got to keep everything in prospective.

Hey girls, can someone invite me to our FB page? I cannot seem to find it. I tried what you said last night Rach and it was not there!!!

Rach- I love Aiden's room. If DH ever lets us move out of this houee instead of blowing our money in Vegas, I will have an extra room to decorate for a maybe-baby.

Jen great news about your cycle. It's moving along so quickly!
Heid- We will miss you!

Rach- Is tonight our season finale?

Rach- I don't know how much you are willing to pay for comfy dress shoes, but Tod's makes extremely comfy shoes that my girlfriend wore throughout her pregnancy. The only thing is they are super expensive!

Also, for casual, Ugg's has expanded and are not just the ugly fat boot anymore. They have some nice stuff.
They also sell Crocs with fur in them now!

Try going to Zappos.com and searching for Tod's or Franco Sarto shoes there. Aerosoles makes super comfy shoes for work!
Teva's always work for me!

Susan-I sent you a message on FB telling you how to get to the group. I think my message will be in your inbox at the top. I asked Shawna and she said that you were still 'in', and to do the same things I told you.

Hope you can find it. If not, bug Shawna!

Jen- Oh sure...send her to bug me! hee hee.

Ok well, I needed a break, I just couldn't stay at the house with my inlaws anymore. I love them to death but man I need to hear some english once in a while!

Jo- I sent you a message on FB regarding our kitties. Now a new update...the runty one had runny poop so bad, his ahem anus is bleeding. Bad sign yes? I'm so glad he's going to the vet tomorrow, but they seem to be chilling out some more. His nose is rarely wet...and our little girl has developed sneezing. I'm a mess with my kittens, how am I going to do this being a mom thing to humans? I'm going to be a freak!!! Anyways, they seem to be doing okay! PS. I asked the question about brown kitties! hee hee.

Rach- beautiful room! What a lucky little boy Aiden is!

How is everyone else doing? I'm so tired, I'm sorry I can't go through everyone seperately.

Shelly- Awesome Beta! Congrats hun!!

Susan - Tonight is our season finale. The previews look good! OK, I'm going to search on Zappos to at least see some options. I think I'm going to have to suck it up and go somewhere like Nordstrom with a huge shoe selection. Not sure if I have the patience (or bending skills!) for DSW right now. Oh, and I LOVE aerosoles. I've lived in them for years now. I just wish they had a store near me. I used to be a constant visitor when I walked by the one in Philly daily. How did the trip to vegas turn out for DH?

Shawna - Can't wait to see pics of the kitties in the new home!

Rach, I was just thinking how awesome it is that you and Aiden have passed another week. Every day counts a lot at this point, doesn't it? I hope you are getting some peace of mind...and your Mom, too. She seemed particularly worried and happy that you had passed the 30-week marker. I hope they had a good weekend in Perry. Will she be an in-your-face grandmother once Aiden is born? She told me she isn't the grandmotherly type, but do you think that will change?

Please tell me if there is anything I can do to help you. It really is a short drive for me, and DH and I are in and out of Atlanta a lot anyway so please say if I can be of any help whether it is with Cooper, Aiden, or even lifting heavy things or driving you somewhere. And tell Cooper that I loved the way he insinuated himself into your photos!

Heidi, I hope you have the most amazing vacation ever, and I hope the plane ride turns out to be not half as bad as you are dreading. I have had DD back and forth to Baltimore (12-hour drive) twice in the last two years and she has been a better traveler than the adults. This past Feb. we went to Vegas for a conference and flying with her was actually more fun than flying by myself because she was so into all of it. Seeing it through her eyes was cool. And at least on a plane she wasn't strapped in a car seat the whole time like when driving.

Enjoy the warm weather and sunshine for all of us. We'll miss you!

Rachel I love Aiden's room! My Dh is telling me 'you do not need to decorate, just get a bed' Men!

jen, I am glad for you that you will not have to go to Denver.

Susan, I love my uggs! I buy from Zappos all the time. Sounds like you had fun at Nordy's! I am jealous! Maybe I will have to buy me a new pair of uggs this week. I actually have them picked out already. They are my favorite most confortable shoe. I hate to be cold.

Shelly, I am having the same troubles! Except I am not convinced it is MY hormones.

Heidi, have a fabulous trip and drink a pina colada for me please. I NEED one.

I hope everyone has a good night. I am still praying for everyone daily...

April - I would love to keep going with the nursery planning! Keep those BFP coming. And we love California. Are you northern or southern?

Jo - What a wonderful offer!! I am so thankful lately for a fenced in back yard and a doggie door. Makes life with Cooper much easier. Don't worry, I'll volunteer you for a fun only visit. Yep, Mom is still worried about me. If I haven't called and checked in by noon on a daily basis, she goes into panic mode. She made me go to CVS and get my blood pressure checked today with all this swelling.... did I mention my brother is a cardiologist?? Why not just have him come over? Anyway, my Mom may not love babies but she will totally be into all the grandmother stuff. She's already decided she wants to be called grammy.

Susan - I checked out Zappos. I have a new faith in finding shoes! Thanks. I might just be tempted to do some internet shopping. Never tried it before for shoes.

Shelly - Confess about the hormones and DH...

Jen - New rankings just came out... Georgia is up to #8. Go Dogs!!

Rachael you are too sneaky. And can I tell you that all this talk about swollen ankles is reminding me of how when I was pregnant my legs would swell above my crew-length work socks every day and at the end of every day I would take the socks off and get in the shower. Instant elephant feet! It took me weeks to figure out that gravity was immediately pulling the swelling down when the pressure of the socks was gone and that I could help it a lot if I took off my socks and immediately laid down on my back and put my feet up on the wall. Duh.

Shelly, Brenna and Martie, aren't you excited by all this talk of swollen extremities? And you thought morning sickness was the worst of it.

Oh yeah, I forgot to say to Shelly that I think you should just go ahead and throw something at him. Not too close, but close enough to remind him that we women are not to be trifled with, especially when hormonal. Plus you'll get some stress relief from it. Nothing breakable...maybe a shoe. Hmmm....I'll be thinking all night on what is the best thing to throw towards a DH to make him behave. Perhaps a wedge of cheese? Maybe your vial of PIO? I'll get back to you on this.
