Mmmm fresh fish!! I could live off of fish, that's been one of the prominent pregnancy food things for me. Never ate fish before, now I love it and can't get enough!! In Jamaica, they had fresh mahi mahi; first time trying it, and it was amazing. I've tried it since, but it's not fresh and NOTHING like it was there. I normally stick to tilapia or salmon. Having a turkey sandwhich for lunch..

It's like my perfect restriction is a distant memory. I could NOT eat any bread, sandwhiches were out of the question. Now I'm wide open, I've had a sandwhich every day at least once a day (PB&J). Forgot how much I liked them, and I can't wait till I can't have them anymore. Where's the slime, the PB (not PB&J!).

Huntsville trip 2009
Funny you said that, we had it again last night. It's become a weekly staple for us LOL. I need a good spaghetti sauce, I don't like the jarred stuff and I'm tired of the white sauce.

Heather- Funny you say that, I asked russell his stats when he was born and he had no idea. I couldn't believe it, I know all of my siblings and he doesn't even know his own??!

weight going up
Thanks for the info Jpet. I am 6'0 too, but unlike you my doc has not been reassuring about the weight one iota. Since my first visit she has told me I need to stop gaining weight.. and now 60lbs later, she still makes quips. I am just keeping my eye on the prize, it will be over soon and like you I am hoping breast feeding will help take some of it off. I also need that re-fill!!

Huntsville trip 2009
LOL!! Airport to my house is less than 5 minutes. Airport/my house to the cabin is 30m-1h depending on what website you look at. I'm going to drive my car down there, and it's a nice big comfy car. With Carson I can easily fit 2 more people, not-so-easily, 3 people.

Had a lazy Sunday, slept on and off all day. I was suppose to go to the store with my friend & her gf yesterday.. but her cell was dying on Saturday so she gave me her gf's cell. So around 9am yesterday I texted "are yall up yet" and she said "no were not up yet".. every hour till 1pm I kept saying 'still asleep?' and they kept saying 'yup'. So today I saw my friend and I was like, so you guys slept all day?? And it ends up she gave me the wrong number. So I have no idea who I was texting & can't believe they kept answering without asking who I was LOL. They figured I didn't want to go, and I figured they didn't want to go. Doh!

Morning V's! I am going to the flea market soon with my dad. He found out there's a bankruptcy auction for machines for work yesterday in his monthly magazine, in Maryland. It's on April 23!!! (I am due that day). So he was hmm'ing and hah'ing and told me to be early. So last night we played poker with my parents & their friends (we won $175!! We played hold em and I finished first, Russell finished 2nd.) and my dad said he booked his trip. He's going April 22-24th! GAH! My mom convinced him no one has their baby on their due date--which I hear is true, but the 2 days around it as well? So now I have pressure to be early. He said, if he's late, just hold on a few more days. YEAH OK. I'm just gonna time it for him. He said if I go into labor while he's out of town he'll book a flight back and Maryland is only a couple hours away.. but I'm still shocked he would plan a trip during that time. Better be a good auction! One of their friend's wives crocheted a blanket for Carson. It is BIG and I can't believe she did it. It's a schoolbus with a tree next to it. She's a kindergarten teacher, so I doubly don't know how she had time.. she said she started it on Christmas break. So I have nothing real exciting to share. We're suppose to get tornadoes and stuff today, but doin flea market with dad, then going to Target with mom; she bought a playard for when Carson visits and when she got it home she realized it was a girl one with pink liner, so she took it back and needs to get another one. Hope you're having fun getting to Hawaii today Judy!

Gah, run from the donuts. Someone keeps bringing them to work, my willpower stops at 1.. wish I could say NO in general.. I do say no to the bagels & cupcakes though! Have fun Judy! We will miss you!! Suzie- I KNOW in one of my classes it showed what the weewee looks like with the circumcision contraption on, where it's a bright bright red, it looks awful. Jane.. I guess text/call/e-mail/post here for me when the time comes. No real strict guidelines, just want to make sure all V's that are available get to find out :smile2:

OK, I just finished my 'phone tree', and I have Jane, Michelle, Terry and Pam on it. That should cover it, when Judy passed on the info about Grady, and my browser on the phone wasn't working.. it took 4 phone calls to get a V to answer the phone. So got my bases covered!! I made a little laminated card and put it in my wallet, so if the time should strike it'll be there.

I hear ya, did I tell ya'll in Tunica a woman was wearing a shirt that said "My president is Black!". Can you imagine the news & headlines you'd make if you had a shirt that said "My president is White!" when Bush or Clinton were in office????

OMG I think I'm pregnant!!
I found out on the first day of missed period, at work.. told my friend from work & my mom.. I said not to tell.. but then my mom told my dad, and they both told all their friends, who told all my co-workers, and it was like a month of people knowing but being told 'not to tell', so when I started telling people, they all knew already! Big mouths.

I am making my 'phone tree' for Carson's arrival, so whoever doesn't have to call all of ya'll (hehe), I am just going to put 3 V's down, and you'll be in charge of passing it along to the other V's! Who wants the responsibility?

I don't think so, if the storms were bad I was oblivious. It was storming, oh and now that you mention it around 4am there was a loud thunder that woke me up.. but that was all (weird, I forgot about it till you said something!!). Due April 23 Jen, and no new pics :cursing: This ultrasound wasn't for me, they were checking size & location of my kidney so.. no fun looks.. she checked his head size (so we got to see his face) and his belly (and he had hiccups), but no full baby pictures and I didn't get to keep anything.

What are you tryin to say??? They sell space crap in the GS at the airport. So nyah nyah. Huntsville isn't redneck, it's space & engineering! (Re: Geeks) This is how I've been, I am finally getting the 'hot all the time' crap, I wake up throughout the night sweating and throwing all the blankets on the floor.. then going and putting water on my face and leaving it there. Sorry to hear that, what bad timing for all of that :tt2: Hope you enjoy the trip and get so wrapped up you don't have to worry about things at home!!
