I canNOT believe this... I had the most beautiful, touching, wonderful 1st post to this new thread and "POOF!" -- it's gone!

Maybe it's the cyber-world telling me it's time to get to bed... good night, my lovelies!!

Good morning everyone

just a quick check in, i'm home sick still have fever of 101 and dry barky cough, maybe i'll go to the dr before work, who knows

hope you all have a great day

Hello! I'm here.. LOL.........

I'm at work today, I am scared to step on the scale.......

I have one really strong memory of labor. The LaMaze classes taught to us at the time said to pick a focal point and block everything else out and focus on it. So the Dr. is standing there between my knees!

I remember this too. I took the Lamaze classes and thought, I am a strong woman, I am going to skip the epidural and do this au natural.

Well . . . I have decided against a repeat of that logic after an excruciating forceps delivery and really bad tear. I also remember at the end begging for an epidural but told it was too late. I wouldn't recommend it, lol.

Anyways, I also have that really strong memory/vision of labor . . . it was the focal point of the breathing exercise at the height of my misery. The doctor on call had evidently had hair replacement surgery, but it was a severely botched job (early 90's). His hair on top of his head looked like evenly spaced rows of corn. I think people would have been surprised at my "focal point." lol.

Well, I caught up on all the missed pages :0)

I just want to say hello to everyone. I am sending all my prayers and good thoughts Kat, Manda & Kinsey's way.

Talk about bouncing around on the scale . . . I looked this morning and I have gained 5 pounds since I had my unfill on January 29th so 2 1/2 weeks . . . AARRGGGHHH!!!! How is that even humanly possibly??? I am just hoping it is just water retention and not fat accumulation.

Am I a bad person if I don't have the heart to change my weight ticker today?

I'm popping in...........

I was up at 3am, this stupid nose allergy whatever this is thing. Strikes really bad in the middle of the night, I go through a box of tissues. and it itches SO BAD.. it wouldn't stop last night so I got up and got on the computer, read some forums. Finally got back to sleep around 5:45.

Connor is actually a name I liked (middle school crush was named Connor) but Russ didn't like it

Russ has lost 10lbs so far doing Atkins. I have plateaud (WHEW) again on my weight gain. I go back to the doc tomorrow, she has me coming in every 2 weeks now.

Hope you're getting some good news Kat!

I keep meaning to say WOOWOO Pam on all that you've done on the diss :cursing:

Hope everyone else has a good day. BLEH Mondays :biggrin:

OH and Terry, I plan to take maternity leave for as long as I need to 2-6 weeks, and then I have a secretary office connected to my office that I am going to have Carson in (bought a portable crib for in there). I'll probably work half-days, or whole days depending on his temperment, etc.

I am paid commission, and 99% of my customers communicate via e-mail, so I shouldn't miss too much with my blackberry and computer at home.
