Carolyn, retail therapy is one of the recommendations of PUPO status, something about making the beanie feel all warm and fuzzy :wink: Just as long as you don't carry too many heavy bags out.

And take full advantage of your PUPO= Queen status. No housework. Ask DH to do it.

BUT!!!!! Hopefully with time and therapy things will get better. oh, her speech is off to...sounds slow...maybe what stroke patients sound like?? She has a physical therapist that comes to the house twice a week. She cant drive, or shower or be a lone. Day by day...

Man...I wish I could have some of your weather... :( I know everyone wants fl weather but not me...I would take some rain and snow!!!!

Miracle - really want to laugh at your sunburn image. :lol: But, OUCH!!! must be painful and uncomfortable. Let this be a lesson for next time!

The last time I was out in the scorching sun for a full day, I was not only burnt but so ill for the next 2 days. Threw up everything and could not eat at all. Lost 5 pounds though.

Hello ladies!

Wow, looks like there were lots of people playing around yesterday! :D:D

Traci,
Oops, we cross-posted. Toasted? LOL well that sure cracked me up! Aloe vera my dear, to prevent dry skin that starts peeling off! I'm so happy to hear that you had a long weekend and took some time to relax, though! :D It's great! Any news from your friend dear? As for me hanging in there, relax max, doesn't look like it's for any time soon! I'm only 37 weeks, and some doctors would still consider the baby premature at this point! But you can be 100% sure that I share your feelings about this; I wish I wasn't hanging there! ;) As for my friend, looks like she might have to be induced early next week. And the furbabies are doing well; we bought a treadmill last weekend, and Daria is already jumping on it on her own; she's getting addicted! Hopefully we'll train her into doing longer sessions at a faster pace, and that way she can really burn some excess energy and be more zen. Toulouse hurt his paw, silly boy, while running around the pool. Just a small sprain, but that delayed his training with the treadmill... How are Charlie and Mollie?

Carolyn,
FROSTIES! :D:D:D:D That is excellent news! Oh, that must feel so great, knowing they're there, take some of the pressure off this cycle, no? It's the effect it has on me... How was the retail therapy? Bought anything nice? Oh and I agree with Angel; DH should do the ironing! You shouldn't have to ask! ;)

Angel,
Hello dearest! As usual, you post to people, but don't really post about yourself!!! How are YOU doing?? Think about it; one more post towards the valued contributor status! To answer your questions, the allergy campaign is doing well. I've sewn a new blanket for the bed, and I'm about to sew new beds for the dogs. That way, it will be more easily washable (and more pleasing to the eye too, which doesn't hurt). DH cleaned his desk and carried most of the open bookshelves downstairs in the sun room (they're dust catchers). As for me, I reorganized my drawers and cleaned most of the clutter on my side of the bedroom. Still have to rearrange my desk (we share the office now). That way, I'll be able to dust everything with a damp cloth very easily each week. In a way, that allergy is super, because it gives me a wonderful reason to tell DH to avoid accumulating clutter around the house! We'll soon have our leather couch delivered... and this weekend, we'll buy the anti-dust mites covers for the mattress and the pillows. So it's a work in progress, but we're getting there. I'm glad that you were able to figure out a way to keep your symptoms under control... having those is no fun at all...

Hi Rachel! Happy birthday Ruby! :D:D:D

Hi Nimble! Oh, how great to have news! :D:D How are you doing?

Angie, hope you're haning in there and taking care of that rainbow.

As for me, things are ok. I went to the doctor yesterday, and the news is good, but disappointing. ***warning, baby-related topic*** My cervix has not changed one bit in two weeks. That's frustrating. And I'm sick of people telling me that it means nothing; I could still deliver today, or in three weeks. Nobody knows. I'm looking forward to meeting the little guy, but it's not really what's on my mind right now. I'm enjoying the quiet time at home. It's more that I would have liked to have at least one encouragement, one sign that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Right now, I feel all those new sensations that don't make sense. I feel pain, cramps, but my belly is not hard. Or my belly gets hard, but no pain. So I never know if it's a contraction, a false contraction, uterine hypertonicity, or plain old ligament pain.. or even the baby hurting me when he moves. It's frustrating, and I would like things to make sense; it's like being in the 2ww for the first time, in a way! ;) Plus there's the fact that all I'm doing now, given that the baby is fully "cooked", is to gain weight. I HATE that. I'm doing lots of efforts, resisting the urge to fill up with junk food, but my body still works against me. I gained a lot of weight after taking the pill, and having been severely bullied at school because of my height and because I was different, I've always been self-conscious. I've worked really hard to lose 35 pounds between 2004 and 2005, and that's about what I'll have to lose again, so it's back to square one. It's hard for me to see the numbers on the scale go up and up and up... and have very little control over it. Some of you may think I'm complaining with my mouth full, especially knowing that I gained about what was expected in a healthy pregnancy, but right now I'm just very aware that the rest of my life doesn't just vanish because I got a BFP. I still want to be sexy and beautiful for me, and for my husband, whom I love to seduce day after day. Anyway, sorry for the rant... I needed to talk about it. I'm okay, not depressed or anything, I talked to DH about it and he understands me, which is amazing. I just needed to share it with my friends from the board too... I mean, being women, so being exposed to all those crazy body image distorsions and their impact on one's self-esteem, you can understand me differently.***warning over***

Okay, time for me to go! Take care ladies!

hi Sophie!

I understand what you are talking about. Just because you will be a Momma that doesnt mean you have to be out of shape or stop caring what you look like. That does happen to a lot of women out there that become a mom. It is sad. They loose themselves. My good friend, she became a Mom kind of early, she has three kids (same man, and yes they are married) and she is tired of being the "fat mom!!" She joined a gym and is doing great. I think it is great that you still want to feel sexy for yourself as much as DH. That is so important Soph!

Hi girls,

Wow, the thread is awfully quiet today, it's a chance you're there!

Traci,
Thanks for the kind words sweetie, I knew you'd understand...

Bdantonio
Hey there! Thanks for posting what you said, it cheered me up. Congrats on all your efforts, wow! And I agree with Traci, those names are simply LOVELY!

By the way... some of you asked to be kept posted on the professional pics that were taken on March 1st with my best friend. Well, the album arrived today. I scanned and uploaded the nicest pics for my family, but you can check them here if you want. It's on the first and second page of the album:
