Ooops! Obviously I didn't read very carefully earlier before I responded, my post to KOLLEEN was for PRECIOUS! Sorry about the confusion! Glad to hear you are feeling better TINA, how cool, you have a webcam! I think about getting one of those to stay in touch with far away family members, that would be nice. Let me know how it goes, how often you use it, etc. Maybe we'll get one someday. Welcome to the new ladies, by the way. My name is Amy, I'm 31 with an 8yo son & a almost 4yo son, and I'm due July 19th with a surprise. HEATHER - when you get back on here, girlie, and it better be soon!, let us know how bedrest is going, is it very strict? I was on bedrest at home for 9 weeks (laying down 23 hours, allowed up for shower & bathroom privileges only) and then 3 weeks in the hospital on strict bedrest. (Couldn't get up for anything! Spongebath, catheter & bedpan, ugh.) If you have any questions or want to ask me about it, please ask! Hope you are getting lots of love & support, it'll be tough but it will be over so soon, you will be surprised how fast it will be over with and it will seem like such a blur after you have your little "Grut", lol.

hey ladies// TINA- i know you asked me awhile ago to help center your piczo? well i rearranged some stuff when you get on piczo (there should down a grey aread to the right (dont put stuff over there or youll have to scroll to view the page!) hope that helped.

sry i havent talked lately; shot so busy agian (its hard now that i miss 8 hrs of work a week; when im here i actually have tons of work now) its been a good week (monday was slow going) tuesday i had my first actual test in my CNA cla__s & i only missed ONE rock on go go go kendra; yah im good lol so im very thrilled as of that. well as i said this weekned i painted his room (monday nite put the boarder up in his room) (tuesday nite i put up the matching stickers for sports on the walls) now i just need to get the c___p out of his room(get the floor done & his items in there and all mighty heaven my sons room will be complete) although we all know that it wont be complete until hes here but you get the idea. i love looking at his room; its so real that we are having another CHILD im very happy; well as all of you knew strad got LAID off(well he didnt get the other job that they told him he got.) so weve been beyond stressed; well come to find out YESTERDAY he got one of the best jobs here you can get; its working at AMANA REFRIGERATION(aka whirlpool) that makes fridges, dishwasher, dryers, washers ect.) starts at 13.60/hr!!!! so im very happy about all that good stuff. things are finally looking up for us; i love it so much. <3 hopefully i can chat in a bit.

Thank you all for the help! i am so excited to get on piczo and see you all. My email is big_little_38382(at) yahoo dot com. HEATHER: we all cant wait for you to get a computer. PRECIOUS: I hope things start to look up for you and your hubby. I understand that sacrifices have to be made but things will start to get better soon. I will pray for you. TINA: Its ok about last night. I know how it is to get busy and forget to do things. It is like the baby drains our brains more now that we are pregnant. RED: Welcome. I am Crystal preggo with number 2. My first is Jordan, a boy, who is just about 9 months. I am expecting another boy on July 12th but will be having him on the 7th. KOLLEEN: Portland isnt too far from here. It would be a trip but at least you know how it is to be in the Northwest. Well I will check back woth you ladies later on.

KENDRA - yes thank you so much! I wondered about that! SWEET thanks again -

KENDRA - I am so happy that Strad got a new job - that is great! when you don't money issues everything else seems easier to deal with! I am so glad that you kicked a__s on your test! I am going to be getting my crib and changing table soon - my mom and mom in law are going to some big sale at a storage place it's all the stuff people have stopped paying on and they are selling it all....so I am hoping there will be some baby stuff in there that would be great! but I am not painting or anything like that - just furniture and some stuff on the walls maybe....Oh I gotta clean the carpet....again my pregnant brain thought I cleaned it but when I looked at my steamer it was set to water rinse only - DUH!!! So I have to clean that carpet again and .....my office carpet again...

i got my glucose test back and im elevated. it showed 182. whatevr that is. so now i have to go do a three hour test. so is it normal. im mean do alot of women show elevated?

hey girls guess what!! my other sister in law is having a boy! so that makes it 2 boys n one girl in da fam!! and also she is due july 10th! one day after my due date!! its amazing.. she was a lil dissapointed because she has a 5 yr old boy.. n he was also expecting to have a lil sister.. he was at the ultra sound n when the nurse told them it was a boy.. he ask the nurse.. if there was another baby in there that could be a girl.. it was so sad 4 him he got very emotional.. but he is healthy n that should matter the most!! its so exciting though!!

wow, you girls are a goin' today!!! I can't keep up :) WELCOME SHANNA! I'm Stefanie and am 32 pregnant with my first, a girl and due July 4. Ok, I'm going to try to remember what everyone posted....preggo brain is kicking my a__s. KENDRA and KOLLEEN congrats to both you girls on your tests and grades. I'm telling you to both keep it up or i'll have to find you and kick both your a__ses, lol ;) HEATHER, hope you are resting!!!!!! JULIA, stuff will be ok just keep on your hubby about it and know that putting some money out will be worth it in the long run. You'll have to put out a bit extra for the baby later so think of it as practice now. I try to think of it that way with all the cash I have to dish out for meds and dr bills, etc. right now. TINA, your baby girl is going to be beautiful! I know what you mean though because like the last two u/s's I had I thought Ava's nose looks funny (like a snout or something, lol!) I felt horrible pointing it out to Jessie but the scans were at 14 and 15 weeks so I think that is a bit early to really see features and it was 2D. I think everyone goes through that. I had a friend who was totally freaked out because she was convinced her baby's head looked like a football early on and he's very handsome now :) HI to Amy, Crystal and Hillary!!!!! I hope I didn't miss anyone. Oh, KOLLEEN, I hear of tons of girls having to do the 3 hour test and then it is all fine. Don't worry and if you do end up having GD (gestational diabetes) usually it is easy to control through just diet and stuff.

Oh yeah kendra, I meant to give you an even bigger CONGRATS to you and Strad on his new job!!!! That is awesome :) Didn't we all tell you it would be ok and turn out for the best? ;) hee hee......sorry about the crib though :( Oh and I don't get my glucose test until April 25th!!!!!!! I'll be 30 weeks the day I get it done. I can't believe THAT!

STEF - I am suppose to go this week but I probably won't go until next week and I'll be 29 weeks so relax it doesn't really matter - mostly cuz you are a skinny broad ....LOL I love calling you guys that! OK girls I am in such shock I am not sure what to do ........actually there isn't anything I can do.....my mom called my bf and wanted to discuss the baby shower well it wasn't a good time for her and because my mom is pushy and wants answers yesterday she sent out invites and is planning it for a day when she knows my bf won't be able to make it.....they both have told me the conversation got heated (snotty) but I just can't believe my mom would actually think it's ok for her to have the shower on a day when my bf can't be there???? My bf kept saying that my mom is trying to do it before they move and that is fine but my parents don't even have movers scheduled and it would have been just as easy to change HER plans but impossible for my bf to change her they have had these plans for months they go the same time every year it's nothing new so anyways...my bf doesn't want me to say anything to my mom and she's so upset she won't talk to my mom about it .....so what the hell am I supposed to do - I just don't get my mom she is usually so normal I am not sure what is going on in her head - not to mention that my mom didn't even put the right place in the invites as to where I am registered....so I emailed my mom and told her that since I didn't register in the store I didnt' have any cards to give her for invites so make sure everyone knows Walmart and target....cuz I have like 5 little things at target because I can't get those things at walmart....so....ARRGGHHH you would think I could have one friggin week without drama!! i don't think that is too much to ask.....any advice on how I can try to handle this ??? My mom is trying to make it a surprise....????? which I also don't understand it's my 3rd baby ...it doesn't need to be a surprise.....my bf was crying and said she would throw me my own baby shower even if it was just her and me ....poor thing...I know we have had some rough patches but I would never not want her there for crying out loud......CRYSTAL - I emailed you the username and pa__sword for piczo....email me if you need more help -

is some stupid ad in everyone else's way - i can't see behind it and it's p__sing me off!!

TINA- WTF IS IT!!!! its frustrating me really bad. i feel like i have PMS really bad today. everything and i do mean everything is making me mad. i have a laptop not a pc and the stupid mouse pad thingy is so touchy, so everytime i try to type something it goes in the middle of where i have already typed. then that ad is there. i swear. why am i so irritated tonight. i dont like feelling like this. my going off on my dh for no reason. well he is here i guess thats why. but these hormones really need to go. they are not welcome here anymore. lol

TINA - I don't know the dynamic between you & your mom, but I would tell her that you know about the shower, and that if it is being thrown by both her & your bf, they BOTH need to be involved in planning it. It sounds like they are finding it hard to work together as a team on this, ie - invites sent out with date bf can't attend & your mom knew that, incorrect registry information, communication breakdown between the two, heated conversation. I would tell both, take a deep breath, I appreciate all you both are doing for me & this new baby & our family, you have to find a way to do this together for that reason. Date has to work for BOTH HOSTESS'S, invite & registry information has to be corrected, and you have to stop fighting. I understand a person who "needs information yesterday" and can be short on patience, my sister-in-law is the same way, and I'm much more go with the flow, lackadaisical and it drives her mad, lol! But when she gets too crazy about stuff, and I'm not moving fast enough for her, I try and hurry up for her sake a little, and she tries to calm down for my sake a little. This happened after much arguing, coldness & bad feelings between the two of us before I got sick of the drama and told her things needed to change. Sometimes someone has to step up and get everybody in the same room & calmly have a little "mediation" session and get things ironed out, otherwise it can spiral out of control FAST. Bottom line - your mom & bf may never be close, I don't know what their relationship is, but they are both close to you and you love them both and they both love you. For this moment in time they have to put their own agendas aside and find a way to be there for ONE DAY for you & the new baby. Things are SO much better in my own life because I try and follow this advice. I used to run from confrontation but now I can't stand drama & fighting & bitterness - so I try and confront the issues and get it all out in the open as calmly as possible, I'll even plan what I want to say beforehand & think about the other person's point of view first & if that doesn't work - cest la'vie! Not everybody is going to be friends, or be able to see eye 2 eye on the same things, etc. and I'm not going to tear myself up over it if I can help it. But I think they can manage for one day out of love for you, they both sound like good women, & they both want to do something special for you & that is awesome. Gently remind them of that, I'm sure they want it to be a wonderful, fabulous occasion and it's in them to do that!

Amy, amen sista! Tina, I think Amy couldn't have said it better. I was getting high bp just reading your post because I would just lose it if my mom did that. Just talk to her calmly and let her know you are so appreciative of what she is doing, but that it needs to be fixed somehow. Either send out new invites or call all the guests and give them the new info (new date and correct registry info). If she refuses, tell her you will do it then. Most likely she'll step up at that point and say she will handle it. If not, maybe your bf can? Just don't get upset or angry when dealing with them as it will make it all amess. Calm and relaxed :) It will all be ok! Hey, my mom and a close friend are throwing one of mine and I think it will be ok, but my mom is wanting to get everything planned and bought like yesterday and the shower isn't until May 10, but my friend is being more laid back about it all and I can see some issues arising if they don't compromise. I don't want to get involved but I'm sure I'll have to at some point (either slow my mom down or speed my friend up) ha ha....
