The Sisterhood of the Blue Stilettos

[vicky77]

Hey sistas!!!, sorry I have been MIA, but I always keep an eye on my sistas!!

Sassy.....I am so happy to hear from you!!, keep us posted more often, you are killing us girl with those big lapses of being MIA (I know, what a nerve for me to say this after weeks of not writing...). You are almost 30wks already, I can't believe it, hang in there, you are almost there. I know how hard bedrest is, but I guess even if you could walk right now it wouldn't be too comfortable due to your belly size which I am guessing must be huge, so you are in bed rest and being pampered by everybody there in the hospital probably, huh!!!!.

Mia....so nice to hear from you, it has been so long!!!, post some pictures of your babies when you can!!

Tina....I can't believe that girl who called you Titanic, I would have smashed her head right then and there!!!!!!. You are almost there, remember I had Benjamin at 38wks so anytime for you now!!!

Fee....OMG Rio is sooo cute!!!!!!!!!!!, he is beautiful, congratulations!!!. I am sorry about your dog, I can't imagine how hard it must be, I think a part of me will die when Sanson leaves us, we love this furry babies so much!!

Mel....hi girl, it's been so long!!!, I missed you!!!. Those kids will be very fortunate to have you cook them some of your great pies!!!. Have you gone or are you going (I don't know when is it) to that pie contest again this year?

We are doing very good, Benjamin is growing sooo much!!!. I will post some pics now in photobucket. But he is still waking up every 3-4hrs to eat, I thought by know he would be sleeping through the night.....oh well.......Regarding weight, I am also struggling now, I put on about 40lbs during pregnancy, I lost the first 25 right away, and now I am struggling with the other 15 which don't seem to want to come off at all!!! (and the worst part is that after shedding off those 15 and getting to my pre-pregnancy weight I still have to lose all I gained during the several treatments I had...........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr). Sorry I had to rant about this, I just needed it!!!

Hey girls.... another quick update.
I am still pregnant although it has been touch and go often over the last few weeks. My liver and kidney labs were looking worse yesterday, but trended back down a bit today, so hopefully we have bought ourselves another few days.

Starting to get a bit sick of being in the hospital, but considering how uncomfortable I am feeling, I think it would be much worse to be home. At least here they pretty much do everything for me. The babies are still smaller than we would hope for, but are doing well otherwise.

30 weeks or bust!

Well done Sassy - you are doing brilliantly. We are all here cheering you on from all over the globe in the cyber sister network - when your trips finally arrive there will be a world wide celebration!

Today I went to mothers group - it was quite good - I think some like minded people there - hope I will make some good contacts there. The session was all about looking after yourself as well as the baby, making sure your relationship with your partner stays strong and communicating re tasks around the house. I think a word with DH is in order - he is very good with Amelie but I feel I'm doing everyting else - groceries, meals. laundry - hmmm! But I guess he is the breadwinner at the moment - oh dear - it's hard .

Better go and finish of the last tim tams - only Fee will know what these are but I am just about to have eaten the whole packet - all 8 of them - what a disgrace!

[Angie65]

PS - I posted another pic of Amelie - do you think I should buy her a hairbrush?! I kind of like the mohican look myself!

Hey Girls!

Mel good to hear from you!!! Glad to hear you are doing well. I thought about you the other day when talking about the LSU football season, and someone mentioned the Florida game. Stop by every now and then!! Well done on the fundraiser!!

Sassy- well done, I know you are working hard to keep those babies in and it sounds like you are still going strong! Good luck, i'll keep you in my prayers. What are you keeping yourself busy with while in the hospital?

Angie- when you figure out how to get DH to pitch in around the house let me know! I feel bad getting mad about that too b/c he is working all day and bringing home the money, but I need HELP!!! I am working all day too!

Meg- how are you and Lucy doing? Are your summer vacations over?

Fee- hope you and Rio are good!

Tina- Hang in there girl! This last part is the hardest. I remember going the week b/f I was due and being 3 cm and she told me to go home and walk and have sx with Dh. I laughed at her and asked her to explain exactly how that would work. I felt like a whale!! You are almost there!!

Anna was baptized this weekend FINALLY!! Our church kind of gave us the runaround and it took forever! I'll post some pics on photobucket. She is 6 months old today, the time has flown by and I am ready to have more, but DH is not going for it. I'll have to work on him some more!

Ok I have to go my friend is here visiting for the week, and I have been on the computer a while! Time to go shopping! Later Girls!

Hello sistas! Still hanging in there over here! I told my job to kiss my
a-- today and will be officially on mat leave starting Monday - yeah! I just could not take anymore - this is the absolute busiest time of the year and the stress started to finally raise my blood pressure which was reported at the doc's office yesterday. It will give some of those bas-ards I work with a chance to try to steal the commission on cases I have worked my butt off for in the last 3-6 months while I am out...as you can tell, I am hardly bitter about it. So, I will be officially out of work for hopefully at least 8-9 weeks. Only have a few more days to go. My husband finishes school tomorrow, so my little Noah has done all I have asked of him. Now, I am preparing to issue him an eviction notice. It is time to exist the premises, kid! My doc thinks he weighs 7 1/2 to 8 pounds which I believe is physically impossible for me to deliver. It ends up he is dropping...I am too damn short and short-waisted for anyone to notice, but that certainly explains the recent pelvic pain and the fact that I thought with the pain I felt at the grocery store on Saturday when I thought Noah was going to be delivered on aisle 9! But in all seriousness, we are hanging in there and actually doing quite well. I continue to feel very blessed. I go back to the doc on Monday and will know more then what the plan of action is...unless I go into labor before then. Will keep you posted!!

Sassy - SO good to hear from you!!! I am so glad you are hanging in there. Man - you are going to look back on this time in your life and wonder how you ever made it through - but YOU WILL! You have all the sistas supporting you!! I will continue to keep you in my prayers!!! Hang on little trips - HANG ON!!!!

Jenn - OMG!!! Anna is so cute - LOVE the swimsuit pics! I believe she and Lucy are preparing for a career in swimsuit modeling - perhaps they will be Victoria Secret models. Speaking of that - screw that company for sending me those DAMN CATALOGUES right now!!! It is just plain CRUEL!!! I may boycott them after this. I quickly discard them so my husband has no chance to see what he is clearly missing out on these days as my fat a-- waddles around this house. Disgusting. Sorry for the rant. I just hate those skinny bit-hes right now. Ok, back to Anna - she is so cute!!! I LOVE the one with her little pink cover-up/hoodie on!!! Too cute!!!

Angie - Amelie is growing so quick and is so cute! I believe the hair is a fashion statement and if Noah does have a mullet as I believe he does, I may need to borrow some for him so that he has at least a little business in the front and not just the party in the back. I dig the hair!!

Vicky - I can't believe how quickly Benjamin has grown!! His pics made me cry as it made me think of my own little Noah and getting to meet him soon!! He is adorable. I am sure you are loving that little man!!

Ok, hello to everyone else. Who wants to complain about Big Brother with me?? There are a lot of idiots in this cast of characters and I have a rant or two prepared!!!!

Later sistas!!!

Tina

[jenn]

Ugg- don't get me started on Big Brother. They are soo immature and they fight and complain and they all think they are in charge. They look like a bunch of idiots. Even the old guy Jerry is getting on my nerves. He just pipes up during every fight and starts yelling "you're going down, you're out of here!" It is aggrevating!

[tinaO]

Jenn - Ha! My husband is a former Marine and we thought Jerry was cool at first. Ugghhhh. He is an idiot and making the Marine Corps look bad now. What about his latest deal with Dan where he is running around saying he is going to burn in he--!?!?!?! What a dumb a--!!!! And I hate that idiot Michelle. Can you say WHITE TRASH?????

[Melissa112]

Hey everyone!

Just wanted you to know that I noticed Sassy had a C-Section this morning... really early!

Keep her and the triplets in your prayers!

If you want to keep up with her email me at melissa {at} masterpieceweddings {dot} net

Love you all!

Melissa

[nickster]

Hi all!

Mel~ Thanks for the update.
Sassy~ We'll be praying lots for those babies. I hope the c-section went well and they (and you) are doing ok. I know it will take some time but I can't wait to hear from you. You will definitely be on my mind.

Tina & Jenn~ Yep, Michelle is the one that bothers me....BAD! At first I would say to dh, "she is so manly" and dh would say "no, she's a hoosier!". She is definitely white trash.
I actually really like this season though. I like that it's not just the same 'ol 2 alliances that go after eachother.
Jenn~ Anna is such a doll! I can't believe how big she has gotten!

Vicky~ Wow you're on the fast track weight loss system! You're doing great. Benjamin is absolutely adorable! How is he doing?

Angie~ How's baby Amelie? Are things starting to get a little less hectic at home? I guess it would be a little hard trying to distribute "chores" now that there's a baby in the mix!

Meg~ How are you?

I'll talk to everyone later. I FINALLY have some days off! This weekend we are going to the lake with some of my family and a couple of friends. I can't wait to get out of here for a while.

[meg12]

Hey everyone!

Sassy--Praying hard for you and the babies. Please be okay.

Nickster--Glad that you're getting some time off. Going to the lake is always fun. We are excited because we actually have zero plans this weekend...we're just going to hang out at home alone. It seems like this summer has been soooo busy!

Okay, I'm so glad you guys are watching Big Brother. It is good this season, I think! I really don't like any of them....Libra is the one that drives me the most crazy. How in the flip can she justify leaving her 6 month old babies???? They aren't even going to know her when she gets back. And I don't care how capable her mom and her husband are. Those babies need their mommy. Grrrrrrrr. And Keesha is so annoying, too. I don't mind Ollie or Dan and I guess Memphis hasn't annoyed me too much yet. So enjoyable!

Well, got to go...am making dinner for one of dh's friends. I am so not a cook. Hope it goes okay!!!!!!!!

[Angie65]

Thanks for the update Mel - if you are in touch with Sassy please let her know her cyber sista friends are all thinking of her and can't wait for further news.

[vicky77]

Congratulations Sassy!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are all thinking about you and the babies, we are waiting for more news from you, wishing u the best!!!

[tinaO]

Please let Sassy know we are all thinking of her!!!!

[Melissa112]

Vicky, serioulsy! Could Benjamin be ANY FREAKIN' cuter!

Really!
