RE: Hi, Christina! Hey Gretchen! Yes, my UC symptoms are under control at the moment. I go back to the gastroenterologist Friday. I am a little bit concerned because I am starting to get skin lesions again and they often precede a flare up. I am hoping that doesn't happen! I definitely...

RE: Returning to the checkin.... Hey Deb D! We love Austin. Hubby and I both grew in Waco and love it too but the job market stinks there. We tried Dallas twice but didn't love it. Austin is definitely a great place to live for musicians so I bet your cousin loves it here.

Returning to the checkin.... I stopped checking in back around Christmas time due to some medication issues. I am now off that horrible prednisone and back to feeling normal. I am trying to get back into a consistent routine with my workouts so I will be checking in again. Here's my week...

Lynn, If you think that your prenatal vitamins are contributing to your nausea, I would recommend taking them at night with your dinner. My best friend gave me this tip and the only time I actually threw up while pregnant was when I forgot to take the vitamin with dinner and took it later on...

Hey Gretchen! I just wanted to tell you that I think that you have a great attitude! I have really been slacking and feeling sorry for myself the last couple of months due to prednisone side effects. Your post has inspired me to quit whining and get off my butt. I checked out your homepage...

If the reason for no dairy is lactose intolerance, you can use the 100% lactose free milk which is what I do. I also use soy cheese. Some of the soy cheeses are pretty gross. Definitely stay away from the Smart Beat Lactose Free Cheese. I have found a brand that I like but I can't think of the...

Wow! Everyone's weeks are so good. I am amazed at how you guys manage to fit so much in during the holidays. My week was pretty lame. But I was very excited to discover this morning that I lost 4 pounds this week. My medication adjustment seems to be working and I am starting to lose the...

I was on the pill for 7 years prior to having my son. I had a preconception checkup in July 97 and my dr said it was fine to start trying as soon as I went off the pill if we wanted. I quit taking the pill in August and was pregnant the following month. I had a normal pregnancy and a healthy...

RE: Christina - question for you The toddler boy was 2 1/2 the day before Thanksgiving. He takes good naps at day care but unfortunately he won't nap at home unless he is sick! I REALLY miss nap time! He is very much into his I'm independent phase. His favorite phrases are "I do it!" and...
