EJM - welcome to the second trimester! YAY! :thumbup:

congrats SnT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PJTP - it truly is a great day! i'll keep further comments to myself since this is not a political thread... :wink2:

that passive aggressive site is hilarious!! thanks for reminding me about post secret. i keep forgetting to check for updates!

i think yer sig does that ... :wink2:

sorry SnT - - i really dont surf much...

first off - thanks for something to read :thumbup: second of all ... that is simply appalling... i know of a quick way to lose 150+ pounds that way ... all it would take would be a signature... yup!!! WOOO HOOO!!! this would have been me 3+ years ago... i was well past 400 lbs and miserable .. while i wouldnt want DH to threaten to leave me, i did wish he would have said something to me... i dunno what and to be honest, i dunno how i would have reacted, but i needed someone to say something... im just lucky i hired someone who had a band and could talk to her about it... exactly.. like i said i dont know HOW i would have reacted if DH brought up my weight, but now (130 lbs lighter) i say i wish he would have said something sooner... **snort** **snort** again

"ok, ummm.. so i just got another fill today - after getting one last week and now i cant even swallow water. what should i do??" :scared2:

i'd make an emergency appt with your doctor to get a slight unfill. good luck

ceradad - you'll be in my thoughts. beth - ROTFLMAO re the pattygreen comment... heh.. re - the baby ... HOLY CRAP he is active today ... you can literally see my stomach jump around... i really dont know how he can be even the slightest comfortable... my last ultrasound (yesterday - cant believe a specialist came in on a Sunday to do a U/S).. he said head was down, shoulders were on my right side, butt was right under ribs and legs were allllll the way on my left side... he sometimes even kicks my port area... so i'm really lucky not to have the rib kicks... guess im lucky i have a long (ahem - and wide) torso...

Laura, so glad you are feeling his kicks now! sorry its the middle of the night... i've been told (not sure how true this is) - when they wake up at night, that's their pattern they will keep when they are born. ??? as for me, i was also told that later in the pregnancy when there's not much room, the kicks will subside a bit. ummm... NOT TRUE for me!. he kicked me so hard this morning that not only did i see it thru my shirt, but we saw the sheet bounce up.. incredible. that is one thing i will really miss about being pregnant. Heather, I too, feel him move a ton after i eat ... even if it's just a bite or two of chicken most days... since im in the hospital, they monitor me for fetal heartrate and contractions twice a day and they are looking for accellerations in his heartrate ... sometimes he has to be woken up with a couple M&Ms... that REALLY gets him going!!

yup, he's getting VERY strong!!! gave me several hard kicks the past few days... his new trick is to curl up in a ball then S T R E T C H out.. made me think i was contracting... i know people... ya gotta post and keep me entertained ohhhhhhhhh san diego... my fave US city...

looks like i have another show to watch... i need all the excitement i can get right now...

im swell ... literally ... fingers look like sausages again today... grrrrrrrr

a little birdy... same bird has me obsessed with a couple TV shows...

it was really good... lots of little twists.. how is season 2 so far? hulu.com it's free

PJTP - i cant freaking STOP watching Damages Season 1... seriously. amazing show!! i have 2 episodes left and i still have no idea what is going to happen. it best not be a stupid ending ...

Michelle, i am the POSTER CHILD for paranoia... every morning - like clockwork - i get up about 500, call the nurse, we do vitals, etc... the baby then wakes up too... i play a little music to my belly and he 'dances' to it... this morning ... NOTHING... no dancing, no kicking, no nothing... talk about freaked out. i finally get on the monitor, 3 minutes later i think he is literally trying to kick thru my stomach... try not to let the paranoia get to you too much... sticky vibes

DH just told me about hulu... guess i gotta go check it out..

iTunes... soooooooooooo good!! that is crazy!!!!

i think she's just bored... maybe she should go visit those grandkids??

they are SOOO not good, but its fun to watch here's utube link [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1Vk6JpFrHQ]YouTube - Band from TV DEBUT on Tonight Show with Jay Leno[/ame]

ok, here's a new twist ... i woke up this morning about 8, they took my pressure and alarms started ringing ... TOO LOW!! 121/48 ... maybe now they'll let me walk a couple times a day???

:) :banghead: :reddevil: ummm ewwwww

hi michelle, welcome and congrats!!! my line started VERY faint blue as well and i took about 6 home tests and even went to my primary care for a few blood draws to see the HCG levels rise. i am now 36w1d pregnant (on bed rest in the hospital due to preg induced hypertension *PIH*- but thats ok)... i have an induction date of 1/30! i dont think you HAVE to tell your lap band doc until you feel you need an unfill... for me i got REALLY tight about 6-8 weeks into it (barely could do liquids), got a slight unfill then a few weeks later got a slight fill only to get completely unfilled a few weeks after that... i was losing quite a bit, but with the PIH, gained 21 pounds of mostly water weight in about a month - since on bed rest, i've lost about 1/3 of that... congrats again on the pregnancy - i hope it sticks!!
