Proud mommy to Madeline 33 weeker  

I miss all my peeps who are scattered all across the country as most of us are sweating it out literally this week. It was 99 here yesterday needless to say no outside yesterday afternoon.

I wanted to say to all my pregnant ladies on here. Keep it up. I am praying for safe, full term and healthy babies for all of you.

My little Maddie is 2 and half on July 4th. I am not sure where the time went but it is flying. She just jabbers non-stop.

MISS YOU ALL TONS! How many days left till SU?

Mom to Ryley, 26 weeker, Grace and Ethan, full-termers  

Tracy - Two days in a row. This might be a record for me this year. So happy you're still talking to me. lol

Lauren - love ya!!

Been such a good week here, outside of the goodbyes to my parents and to Julie & Riley (Mr. Julie too). Finishing off on a high note - the diamond from my wedding ring is finally being replaced. Wahoooo!! Six weeks without it - ICK! Met with the jeweler this morning to choose the stone and I will have it before we leave for Yellowstone next week. Yay!

Jackie - Are you having fun playing in your car?

Arnara - Jun 30, 2012 12:22 am (#187 Total: 221)  

 

Hello girls! Donna- Welcome back! we missed you, great on the new diamond..... are you choosing a princess cut, FL, 1 ct., H diamond?? (my dream diamond)

Jackie: Congratulations on the new car!!! I love new cars, and the smell..... I hope you are enjoying, hey you should send your pic to car company and say you are a happy customer, maybe they get you little something......

Lauren: Glad to hear from you......

Liz: hope you are enjoying the day.....

Geri: 99!! wow that is hot.....yes they grow up so fast.... so SU'10 you were pregnant??? I didn't notice......

Tracy: Yeah! for finishing school......

Stacy: Are you getting ready for your WE school reunion??? I hope you enjoy it.....

Lindsay: No sabia que escribías tan bien en español, estuve leyendo algunas de tus respuestas a otras mamas,¡felicidades!

So I spend the day with my princess, we did all she likes, but first I took her for her first haircut in her life....... then her favorite restaurant (thank God it is not Chuck E. Cheese), we went looking in toy stores, and ice cream, some children library, and buying some clothes for her...... we had a great day..... I think we should do it more often, but I am exhausted.....

Happy Weekend everyone,
It is a long WE??

We have a movie theater near us that does $5 movies and free popcorn on Tuesdays during the summer. we tend to see a lot of them.

Donna - Glad things are going well!

Have fun, tracy and Katie!

Hope your trip is good, Lauren.

Jackie: I think so.... for a couple of months miss V doesn't like that I take pic of her, so she always has a upset eyes or makes awful faces, I think it is probably she is upset by the pic....or the hundreds I took....

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Lorena: Aww, what a cute haircut!!

Update from Lauren: At her NST today her uterus was all sorts of showing out and having contractions and her BP was high too so she's won at least an overnight stay over on Oahu for monitoring. Her cervix is unchanged even with the contractions. She can't update herself because her phone is about dead and doesn't have her charger since she wasn't planning on staying! Give her some good no June baby whammies!

Had my high school reunion, it was....eh. Best question of the night was, "Hey Stacy! How are the twins doing?" Um, still dead, thanks If you're not laughing, you're crying, lol!

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Thanks Stacy! and totally... not laughing youre crying.. lots of laughter over here!

Resourceful nurse found me a charger in the lost and found... score! After almost 12 hours ctx finally slowing.. cervix a lil softer than when I arrived but holding steady. Here is hoping its a very loooooooong boring weekend. Lance and Micah arriving tomorrow... the logistics of all this... oy. Dang Pacific ocean.

Lauren~ I emailed you a few minutes ago, but don't you know that's the most expensive resort on the islands??!!!! Here's hoping for an uneventful weekend and several more uneventful weeks of cooking!

Stacy~ Duh to your classmates! My 10 year reunion was when the girls were a year old. Needless to say, I had to field WAY too many questions that day.

Donna~ Ooo....love it that you're getting new bling!!! Hope the trip to Yellowstone is fun filled and cool.

Lorena~ Love her cute haircut!

Katie~ I hope the A/C is working great for ya!!!

Our temps have been well over 100 for the past few days and is expected to continue through Monday. UGH!!!! At 9:30 last night it was still 100 degrees.....

Lauren - Thinking about you . . .

Lorena - Hubby helps me out there big time. Escribo mejor en frances que en espanol. Miss V's haircut is super cute:) I hope you were able to save some of those precious locks. So neat to have some girl time:)

They're gone. My folks came up to see us. We don't have to see them again until August if we're lucky. Then, I'm safe until the holidays. Kind of glad that we are going to be so busy with hab. It's kind of a good excuse to get out of stuff. Terrible, but that's how I feeling.

stacyat - Jul 1, 2012 2:51 am (#201 Total: 221)  

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Tracy: I was prepared for the "how many kids do you have" question but oddly enough, it never came up!

Lauren: Woohoo!! But UGH and BOO on your other test results!

We went out to dinner tonight, it was a disaster! Took forever for her to take our order, and to bring us our drinks. Four of us ordered the same thing, and the last something different. When she brought it out there were for of that different thing Katie ordered and none of what the four of us actually ordered. They finally put a rush on it and got the food out to us but by the end of the meal it was two hours after we arrived!! They cut the bill in half for us at least.

Akeelah's Mommy - Jul 1, 2012 4:45 pm (#202 Total: 221)  

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Lindsay- What's hab? I've missed so much.

Stacy- Ugh, that's awful! Thank goodness ya didn't have the kids with ya... or did ya?

Maybe will be discharged today...

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Stacy - I'm glad they at least cut the bill in half for you.

Lauren - Still thinking about you:) Hab = habilitation which will be 10 hours/wk. M-F from 4-6 p.m. I guess it's sort of normal to have your hab person stay for dinner too. Hope she likes tater tots:)

Donna S - Jul 1, 2012 8:21 pm (#204 Total: 221)  

Mom to Ryley, 26 weeker, Grace and Ethan, full-termers  

Lauren - Hugs and lots of positive thoughts coming your way.

Stacy - Honestly some people. Michael is fond of saying if natural selection still was in effect, morons wouldn't survive. Bummer on the long dinner, but at least they recognized their mess-up.

Lindsay - lol....tater tots.

Katie - Safe travels!!

Lorena - 1.5 carats, H, VS. Old one was 1.62, J, and SI2. I'm a happy girl. Yes, it is princess cut. Very cute haircut for Miss V!!

Less than a week until we leave. Soooooo much to do, but I am excited. Took Grace and my MIL to see Wicked yesterday. Amazing. Saw it years ago in LA with the original cast and was a little worried how this cast would stack up. It was awesome. Cleaning and such today. Fun, right? Trying to work out a get together with a friend (at her house, which has a pool - yay!) for later.

stacyat - Jul 2, 2012 3:04 am (#205 Total: 221)  

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Lauren: Yup, we had Elim with us! He was less than impressed but held up pretty well considering. We just kept feeding him small bits of bread from the bread basket.

Donna: Yay for pool time!

For the first time in months my bedroom is clean!! It's kinda nice not seeing deployment stuff/boxes hanging around anymore. Still dusty, but hey, baby steps!

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Stacy - I think I would've been laughing and crying at the same time:) Hugs, that had to be awkward. Glad that Elim was good at the reunion. I'm smiling at the clean bedroom comment. I've been working on the same thing.

Donna - Sounds sparkley:)

A/C parts repair person is coming this morning. I've got a date with D to play Pokemon. Not exactly sure what the rules are as they change constantly:) I guess videos are due back at the library, so I'm heading there off after I drop off Mr. T at camp.

liz loschinskey - Jul 2, 2012 9:40 pm (#207 Total: 221)  

I love my kids!  

Ugh, Over 50 posts since the last time I was here....*hangs head in shame*

Tori, Tori, Tori....You know, when you get discharged from pulmonary, I ASSumed all was well. Until, the last week of Ozone action days, where the heat and humidity finally did Tori in. Suprisingly, after saying I want a pulse ox done on my kid, the ER took her immediatly. "She's not breathing right, she can't get enough air", I repeatidly told the nurse. A breathing treatment later, she was fine. Another script of albuterol for her nebulizer, and she's still coughing, wheezing, snot-face.

It's very hard to explain to a 2.5yr old why she can't go outside.

I hope you guys are doing good/great. I hope all the pregnant bellies are still on target for 39+ weeks. I love and miss yinz'!

bbl...

ps-26 days of gym and eating right, down 11 pounds. Woot!

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Lindsay- Yeah I've never understood the rules to Pokemon... I think the kids I play with are pulling one over on me every time!

Liz- Sorry to hear about T's uckies. That's no fun- weather seems to really be crummy hot on so much of the mainland.

Stacy- Oy, what a trooper Elim was!

Donna- Bah-LING!

Just twiddling my thumbs over here, really wanting to go home and just magically have this baby without having to deal with anything.

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Liz - I hope your little girl is feeling better. It's got to be hard to tell her she can't go outside. Congrats on the pounds lost! I've been watching Dr. Oz a lot and got an earful about belly fat and stress. I must be really stressed out:)

Lauren - I hope your thumbs aren't too raw from twiddling. What are they telling you now? Thinking about you:)

Donna S - Jul 3, 2012 4:47 pm (#210 Total: 221)  

Mom to Ryley, 26 weeker, Grace and Ethan, full-termers  

Liz - Poor baby girl. That stinks. Hope she's feeling better.

Lauren - HUGS!! Thinking about you and praying continually. Any update?

BUSY day ahead. Have to get ready for a party tomorrow (thankfully not at my house) and then ready to leave Saturday. Zion and Yellowstone here we come!! Yes, I'm braving a HUGE camping trip, but we will be tent camping *only* three nights. The rest will be in an RV. Still a bit scared.

NathansMom13 - Jul 3, 2012 5:25 pm (#211 Total: 221)  

Come to ShareUnion 2012: It's the BEST weekend ever!!!  

Liz, ugh - we've been keeping Nathan inside for the same reasons. I already told Matt that our next house will come with central air. we've been spending a lot of time at my parents house because they have a/c and we don't.

Donna, new diamond sounds nice!!

Lauren, I'm thinking of you! Hope all is well today.

Wayy to much to catch up on. Headed off to take a nap, I need to work tonight from 11p-7a

Anyone have good plans for the 4th tomorrow??

liz loschinskey - Jul 3, 2012 5:30 pm (#212 Total: 221)  

I love my kids!  

Donna, you made me laugh. Braving it camping--IN AN RV! 3 days in a tent will do you some good....At least that's what I tell myself when camping.

Lauren, what did I miss? Why are you twiddling and is baby belly okay? Ugh, I need to go catch up on you.

Lindsay, as embarrassing as it is to say, this belly fat is what repulsed me to start doing something about it. I can't stand being fat! I can't stand my granny arms! I'm halfway to my first goal. I have to do this for me and my lovely child that I can barely keep up with. Dude, that is embarrassing.

DH has been home, due to work and he literally cleaned the whole middle floor of the house. WOWSA'S! And stayed home with T while I went to the gym.

I have a question for you...If you knew you didn't have the money to get your family to Disney for SU, would you as the individual, still go? Seriously think about that. It's Disney! I want my dh and Miss. T to meet Mickey. I think I would feel horrible leaving them home and going to SU. Input, Please.
