Laura - Maybe a gently swinging bassinet? Have you tried putting his car seat on top of the clothes dryer with a load in? Just a couple more weeks and you can put him in the Amazing Gift from God, the ever lovin' BABY SWING!!! Hang in there!

Hi Girlz, Thanks, Pamela -- my knee is better but still hobbling a bit. It'll be better tomorrow. I canNOT believe how sore I am today! Just wears me out. I'm excited -- get to have lunch with Vi's on Friday!! yea!!!! I'm heading for bed soon -- Suzie - I'm saying extra prayers for you tonight. Laura - same goes for you, Russell and Carson. Hope everyone gets a good night's sleep tonight. G'night girlies. Love you all!

Hi Laura - ((((Hugs))) Yep, I went thru the exact same thing! My milk would just NOT come in!! My nipples were bleeding and raw from Evan sucking so hard and nothing would come out! I was in very intense pain and cried several hours per day trying to make that happen like the books said it should. I finally gave up and switched to the bottle and he was absolutely fine after that. Perhaps Carson is sleeping under the light better because he's got a full tummy for a change! And don't discount the major lack of sleep, recovery from major surgery AND raging hormones in your body -- everything is amplified 100x! Just a few more days and I guarantee things will be almost normal again. Makes you wonder how ANYONE survives twins...or triplets :thumbup: eh?? Hang in there! Jane, can't you go to work somewhere else? Things have been driving you nuts for awhile over there!! This straw would break the camel's back for me!! Tell your customers you have an electrical problem and had to shut down your breaker box or something. Sheesh! My knee is better but the rest of my body is hurtin'!! I feel like I'm 80 years old today! It's OK -- it's a beautiful Spring day outside!! (Sorry, Judy -- you can pay me back in July)

Hi girls - I worked in the garden all day today -- planted a bunch o' flowers. Aside from being sore from head to toe, I've also wrenched my knee and I am in PAIN! Had Richard stop and get me some liquid Motrin and I've been drinking that. Wish I had something stronger...might have to call my doctor tomorow and see if she'll call something in for me. Guess I'll go to work unless it is much worse. :smile: Pamela - sorry about your horrible infection!!! It's amazing it could get that bad without your noticing symptoms before now! My mother had frequent UTI's and hardly ever noticed any symptoms though -- usually the fever was the first thing. Hope you're much better by Thursday. Michelle - how was your day? Hope you were able to shrug off your school drama. Kat - best wishes for your SIL and a speedy recovery!...like by Saturday! Aaack - that would be a helluva long drive with MIL! And yes, Jacksonville (esp. Amelia Island) would be an incredible Violet destination! Lots and lots of condos for rent all the time! Laura! ... I really enjoyed all your pics on FB. I'm sure you and Carson are getting all settled in. Hope you're feeling good! How's the c-section recovery going? Well, time to get some ice on my knee and head for bed. I'm pooped.

Yep! And if you gave employers some tax relief, then maybe...just maybe...the minimum wage would see some improvement!

Good evening Vi's! I had to scroll back a ways to find a post from Laura and saw all the precious pictures she posted of Carson. Isn't he just beautiful??? What a cute, cute baby!! I hope Laura is feeling alright, although I'm sure she's a tad bit sore from the surgery! I'll bet she's glad to be home today and will sleep well tonight. Oh wait! She won't be sleeping well for quite some time!...she's got a new baby in the house! LOL! Anyone know?...is she breastfeeding? That's even more exhausting! I had a wonderful time in Jacksonville! What a wonderful town -- SOOO much to do!! We were busy from morning 'til night and didn't do 1/10th of all we could have. I'm ready to move!! I didn't schedule enough time there, that's for sure! Anyone ever been to Amelia Island? That's where I want to go back and stay in one of the resorts while DH plays golf. I've got the day off tomorrow too and I sure am glad -- I'm pooped!!! Other than that nothing else to report. I'll catch you all in the morning.

The Fair Tax (Americans For Fair Taxation: Americans For Fair Taxation) is a national sales tax which would replace income, social security and medicare taxes. It has the advantage of capturing revenue from every single person who purchases goods -- even illegal aliens, "tax evaders" and tourists. Generally the wealthier people spend more money so they would pay more and vice versa....a self regulating system, so to speak. There are many, many benefits and i encourage you to take a closer look.

I am posting from the airportvon my iphone so pardon the typos . We had a wonderful time in jax -- can't wait to get home and catch up on Carson & laura!! Missed u guys !

Oh, DUH!!! I just saw that Laura sent us all an email with Carson's pic. Isn't she sweet to do that??? I hope she gets some good rest today -- it ain't easy! Tracy, I'll be back Monday afternoon. Going to see my best buddy

Look!! I got this off Laura's FB page! (Hope you don't mind, Laura!? I knew his Aunties were as anxious as I was!) He IS perfect!! -- She wasn't lying!

Laura, you also gotta be the only person to post on LBT 4 hours after giving birth!! LOL!!! ....but I'm glad you did!!! Ok, I could hardly stand the anticipation of Carson getting here and NOW I can hardly stand the anticipation of seeing his picture!!! Does he have hair? (Why do people always ask that dumb question?) I'm getting on a plane for Jacksonville at 2:00 today so I'll probably be out of touch until tomorrow but I will check in then for sure.

That's right....they said the president was not aware of them at all. Here you have a hundred thousand++ protesters complaining that their voices are not being heard....and guess what? They're 100% correct.

I'm an Auntie!!!:crying: Have a cigar!:rolleyes2:

7 pounds 8 ounces!! 7:51 pm !!!!!! HAPPY & HEALTHY!!!!!...by c-section.

AMEN!! Ok, It's 9:10p and I haven't heard a word. :rolleyes2: I know I shouldn't be worried.....but I sure wish we'd hear something.

I'll say 9#4oz at 7:50p (central)

Nope, not a peep! :rolleyes2:

So...did ya'll hear what PrezBO's response was to the tea parties held ALL OVER THE COUNTRY? Didja? Huh? Didja?

It's f*cking ridiculous, Jack. The whole thing just needs to be tossed....NOW. I am going to throw my energy behind the national sales tax...Americans For Fair Taxation. Something's gotta give.

I haven't heard anything since noon-ish but I have my phone in my pocket at all times and am checking it obsessively! I texted most of you (I was in the middle of Target and didn't have all my wits about me) after Laura had texted me, but just to make sure all are aware of what she said, I'll quote it now verbatim: Russ mom broker her wrist before leaving to come down to alabama..didn't tell anyone so now she is in urgent care getting treated...My contractions are pretty severe but I had an epidural (omg that has been the worst of it) and feel nada. They are having a hard time stabilizing my bp but carson is fine. I'm around 70/30 [bP, I guess?] I suppose it could be any time now...but most likely a bit later this afternoon. Our baby Laura is having a baby!!! Aaaaaack!!!!!!!

We have indeed, Pammy! Oh, sorry....didn't mean to call you by your first name Dr. Bradford. tee hee

Are you referring to the CNN and MSNBC assholes? Oh, they get it....they just don't care anything about responsible journalism! Hence their ratings. 'Nuf said.

Sorry, but I believe that every single American should pay income tax unless you are disabled. Even if it is 3% or 5%...I don't care...just something to give you a REASON to monitor your government. If you don't have an investment (especially those who receive welfare benefits on top of that) then what inspires you to keep these bozos in DC accountable? Do you honestly believe it is fair for you to not pay one single dime in income taxes? Would you be willing to pay 5%? 3% 1%?

You think that CNN video is bad journalism?? HA!! MSNBC goes into the Hall of Fame for this one! Listen carefully for the multitude of oral sex (yes, oral sex) metaphors and references...you may have to watch more than once to catch them all. It's unbelievable... just proves how ridiculous this network is all the way around (explains why they're at the very bottom of the ratings as well): Video - Schuster: If You're Planning Tea Bagging Across The Country, 'You're

The tax code is 70,000+ pages....and growing daily.
