Hey! Happy Easter....I went to visit family this weekend and just got back. I'm pretty drained, but got everything put away and am checking in before crashing on the couch. I'm getting some pretty uncomfortable aches under my b___bs and in my back around bra line. I think it is tummy stretching, but not sure. It doesn't feel like indigestion or heart burn, just everything feels tight and stretched. I'll be back on later or in the morning after my brain can better function ;)

Kolleen - hhmmmm I loves me some tacos too....lol ...we had a delicious brunch I was pleasantly surprised her breakfast ca__seroles were awesome - plus my mom brought a ham and macaroni salad plus fruity it was awesome!!! I am so excited she didn't make us all diet food.....LOL - Mandi - that makes sense I have a girlfriend with terrible back pain....and that is no joke poor thing double whammy....csection plus a messed up back ....I would definitely want the wicked drugs too...lol ....I bet your daughters room is going to be great it sounds so girly I want to do a really girly girl room for Megan when she gets here.....well sort of ....STEF - I am sure it's all stretching... I have been stretching alot and it's been pretty miserable....I have been sleeping good again and I am so grateful for my good sleep. It makes all the difference in the world - they boys got 3 Easter baskets so listen up again first timers don't go all out!! let your parents/aunties etc go nuts..LOL Happy Easter Everyone!

Have any of you ladies had a run in with cat24? I have had about enough of her judgements. Every time someone posts a preference of gender, she comes on and says how horrible she will feel for the unloved baby if it isn't the hoped for gender. She is evil and nasty. If you haven't already seen the thread I created directed toward her then check it out. It is on this board.

Wow- I think I've finally caught up since Friday! Good Morning everyone. Yep, it's freakin Monday again.... I swear it's here like every other day. It sounds like everybody had a good Easter weekend. We cleaned & put new carpet in our new little temporary house, and will be moved in around the first of April. Yay! We are buying my dad's house but his new house is taking longer than expected.... so we wanted to find a house of our own for the time being. I really didn't want to bring the baby home and live with other people - Ya know? I love my parents very much - but I think it would've been too much going on, and not enough privacy for us. I am completely worn out and swollen like a marshmallow peep (yum). Anyway - Tina I'm glad you got to eat some real food, and you know I was thinking about you yesterday when I was eating homemade mac & cheese. I'm glad you guys had fun at the truck show, I know the boys will never forget that! I hope you aren't still deaf though - What'd you say? lol. Amy - Come on girl! - Hang in there with me, resist the urge to find out!!! I know it is hard, especially with having 2 boys and kinda hoping for a girl. You do what makes you happy, and I admit - I'm really wanting to know what you're having too!! Stef - the stretching for me has always been lower than what you're talking about, but in pics I think I am carrying lower than you are. I'm sure it's normal - Glad you had a good time visiting out & about! Kolleen - Congrats on your test, you go girl! Tacos for Easter is like a weird tradition that I actually wouldn't mind starting. lol. I always wanted to have an off - the - wall holiday where we would celebrate completely different - like Pizza & Beer for Thanksgiving. Precious - you guys are having fun with making babies over there! lol. That's really cool, and you all will have lots to share together!! Mandi - glad your friend & baby are doing well. Keep us updated on their progress. Well guys I think I am finally caught up and if I forgot something - I'm sorry. Happy f***in' Monday!!!! lmao.

Happy f***in Monday to you too Heather!!! ;) LOL! I needed a good laugh this morning. I'm always a bit stressed after visiting family just because we have to run around back and forth to see everyone in such a short amount of time. TINA it sounds like you guys had a blast for Easter! I really can't wait until next year when Ava is here and gets to celebrate these holidays. Easter is such a "kid" holiday ya know? I used to love love love it and now it's kinda ho-hum and just another excuse to stuff my face :D We had ham at both dinners we went to (yippee yay) and I think I'll vomit if I ever see a ham again. I like the idea of pizza or tacos...yum yum. KOLLEEN Congrats galore on your test!!! That's awesome! Ok, now where's Kendra been??? Girl, you're slackin on us! LOL! MANDI, I hope your friend is still doing well, keep us updated on her and her baby! I had a friend this year give birth to her son 2 months early (did I mention that already? i probably did, oh well, lol) and he pulled through but it was scary for some time. I did notice the post on Cat 24, but didn't really read it as we've all noticed that this 2nd tri board can get some crazy drama going. We kind of are all pansy a__ses (meant in the dearest sense!!!) and love our little bubble here in this thread because it's totally drama-FREE!!!! So, nope I don't even read that stuff or get involved as I don't need any more stress (the other girls here will vouch for that, lol).....ahhhh! OH! that reminds me! WE GET TO MOVE TO THE 3RD TRI NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! woooohooooooo!!!!

Happy Monday! - Well glad you girls had great weekends from what I have read so far. Mandi - i have seen some of Cat's posts and I just steer clear - I can't believe KENDRA has been MIA so long ....did you fall down a rabbit hole yesterday??? Well my boys made out like I said yesterday. It is so great so watch them enjoy their goodies....it almost makes up for the fact that we are grown ups and don't get anymore baskets. LOL Well I am going to get to work and I'll check back in with you later....

Good afternoon ladies.. and happy Monday!!! I am back home!!! this weekend felt so long n i couldnt believe that i actually made it back home! NY was great.. but in the middle of it i got a lil sick.. not so bad i should say but i could barly eat and if i did i got sick. I was in time square and on our way back to the subway my foot swell so big the my shoe didnt fit! my mom was so scared i was myself because it looked like something bit me and it swelled i was so tired.. but the walking did me good because back home i barly walk. so i ended up sitting in front of the rockafella center for 2 hours till it went down and so embara__sing because my shoe didnt fit. it was so breezy and my lil brothers were annoyed. i felt bad for him but we did have a good time. on the way back we took a van that transport u from NY to MD.. and my mom announced it to everyone i was preggo and i had to sit in the front.. so i did and this random ladie came n sat with me n didnt know i was preggo. she started to eat werid food and rubbed her feet with strong lotion i wanted to throw up. but i discover a breathing method for when i want to puke. and it worked once i got close to home i felt weak.. i only ate in the morning and when we had to stop i didnt buy anything because everything was chips n soda.. so i waited.. when my husband saw me he said i looked skinner n sicker!! LOL!! poor thang couldnt let go of me.. which made me feel good because of our past issues. im happy 2 be back home. and i will not travel anymore untill after i have baby Lia.. i am done.. i rested so now i gotta re-energize my self!! Sorry, for writing so much i just wanted to share it with you all.. i dont know whats been going on in this thread.. but arent we all supose to be in 3 tri by now??? This week ill be 25 weeks!!

hey ladies. long time no talk again. tomorrow i start school =] yah. exciting i know but also nerve racking; how is everyone doing ?

Hello Ladies.. I did my Glucose test this weekend and just found out everything came back normal.. Well except my iron was just a few points low but they just told me to eat some extra foods with iron and that it was nothing major. But i am glad that came back good:) just wanted to share...Also would any of you ladies know what good foods have iron in them... I know spinach but i just dont like spinach i know liver i can do that but not everyday so you ladies have any suggestions??

lucky my iron is never met to be normal i swear the whole time with kelsey my iron was at 8 & its suppose to be like 13 i beleve/ they started telling me if my iron didnt raise id end up having a blood transfusion after labor for something so i took like 3 iron tablets everyday after that; im looking into that now. lol although i wont start untill they tell me its low which is april 11th & i know it will be i swear.

Stefkay, the thread I created is basically just asking her for an appology for how she has treated some of us and to try and urge her to just be supportive and non judgemental. It is nothing nasty at all. None of the women who have posted comments regarding her were off color.

well my iron was not that low its suppose to be at 12 and mine was 11.7 but she just told me to eat foods with more iron

hello everyone. it seems like u guys get on here really early but i guess its cuz u live in a different time zone then me. lol. im glad to hear everyone is doing good. KENDRA- what r u going to school for? its about timne u dropped in to say hi!!!! LOL well i goota get ready t

kolleen- hey hunni. lmao i know everyones saying that ive just be hectically busy. school is for nursing. im taking my CNA cla__s right now its a 10 week cla__s. starts tomorrow the 3/25 to 5/29 & then after that i take a final & when i pa__s that i get my CNA; then after i have strad i plan to go to work as a CNA at a nursing home; & plan to start my prerequisites for my nursing degree in fall of 2008.(august) im very excited; but im waiting on finical aid right now hopefully i know something by friday.

Hillary - some good iron sources are - egg yolks, turkey, chicken, broccoli, beans, shellfish like shrimp, salmon, greens and of course iron fortified breads & pasta. Its a good idea for us all to get plenty - women need twice as much iron than men do everyday! Kendra - Yay for school starting - hope you get the fin. aid - school gets expensive. Kolleen - I live on the east coast and get to work at 7am, so that's why I'm on here sooo early. Stef - ditto on the excitement for the 3rd tri !!! Coming up fast, and I'm ready :0)

Hillary, heather listed some great sources of iron. I really like hardboiled eggs so I ate like 2 a day for a while (till I got sick of them) and now it's broccoli, so maybe squeezing in some things like that would help! KENDRA, so awesome about school! I'm really happy for you and you seem totally motivated--I think it will be really natural and easy for you! MANDI, that's cool about the thread...no worries! I just realized a long time ago that if you have to ask someone for an apology you probably aren't gonna get anything more from them than a defensive att_tude. I can't say as I haven't read much of the thread. I just remember some earlier stuff posted here to her and it just got nasty and petty all around. Well, I am tired (WHAT'S NEW? lol) my best friend and I ran to a few stores to find invites for my baby shower she is throwing and finally got some. I got back here and was slammed with work. We are going to work on the invites Wednesday I think. I'm getting excited :)))
