Hi everyone, Went back to the Dr. yesterday and everything still looks good. I 6 lbs this month which is good b/c w/ Brooke I gained 11 in this month. I also asked him about stress and he said that I really don't need to be concerned about stress harming the baby so that was really nice to...

Thanks so much. Last night I did OK then I got online to see what the surgery entailed. Dad will have an epidural for 3-4 days after the surgery b/c of the pain. He'll need to be hooked up to oxygen, have a chest tube, etc. and the recovery will be about a month. It's more complicated than I...

Just got back from Chicago. They couldn't do chemo because there is a "significant amount of fluid on dad's lung.They also found a tumor but Dr. is not sure what it is. They want to do surgery in the next 1-2 weeks to remove the lining of the lung, drain it and see what else they find...

Good morning ladies! Long day today. Taking my dad to Chicago for another round of Chemo. It's about a 3 hour drive and we're leaving at 9 am and won't get back until about 8pm tonight. We also get the results of his CAT scan from last week too so I'm a bit nervous, OK really nervous since he...

Hi everyone! I know I've been absent lately and I hope everyone is doing well. With swimming lessons, dad's chemo and DH's softball games we haven't been home much in the past couple of weeks. I went for another ultrasound and the doctor told me that the brain waves are normal so it must be a...

Melanie- won't be long and you'll be holding one in each arm!! It's so different holding a baby when you're pregnant. It's just such a miracle. Susan - I'm glad you had a nice dinner. Jen - I know what you mean about getting emotional. I was cleaning a patients teeth the other day and...

Hi ladies! Last night we hosted a party at our house for my nephew's baptism that didn't end till 11pm. Today was church at 8 then we went to my parents house to watch the local Father's day parade so Brooke will be on a sugar high for a day or so now. Now we're home just lounging around.

Hi Everyone! I went to my OB yesterday and so far all is going well. They told me I'll have weekly non-stress tests starting at 30 weeks. Then at 32(or 34?) weeks I'll go 2x a week for Biophysical profiles to ck amniotic fluid, HR, baby movement and something else. He also said I'll stop the...

Lori - I may be way off base here but like I said I'm the perfectionist and when my dad was diagnosed w/ cancer (lung also) I had, and at times, still have, a difficult time because it is out of my hands and I feel like all I can do is sit back and watch. Losing the element of control was very...

I can't believe they left out some of the most important questions............... Can you clean? Will you give back rubs without wanting anything in return? Is your family crazy? (If they answer 'no' run because they are lying) Is your family within a 2 hour drive? (If not, run away)...

Ladies, we've set a record - 10 posts, I repeat....10 posts where noone has mentioned poop, constipation or anything referring to such!!!!!<<<<<<Applause>>>>>> Melanie - I agree - you look adorable and only 27 weeks to go! I agree w/ Jen - you're going to be all belly. I told my DD right...

I just went back and read your post. Very well said!!!!

Lori - I'm sooo glad you posted this as I too could have written your post. I'm the one who wonders, when things are rough if it's all worth it. I too am a perfectionist who thinks that if all is not going perfect, maybe it's time to throw in the towel (irrational thinking on my part but it...

At home, my DH will talk on his cell phone while going to the bathroom and thinks the people on the other end can't hear him pee or flush. I got news for him - THEY CAN!!! I RARELY carry my cell phone b/c frankly I just don't think I'm that important (or maybe it's that other people aren't...

OK. Now that's a first! I guess they are better than the other kind

I agree. Start with the front longer and go from there. You are very pretty and seem to have delicate facial features that definitely lend itself to a short cut-I don't think you can go wrong. High five to you for being so daring! I got mine cut last night and thought it was sooo drastic...

Some people just don't think before they talk but I wouldn't make too much out of it. It sounds to me as if her comment is purely a reflection of how she views herself. Is she one of those people who always seem to be in competition with someone? I think she needs to reevaluate herself. And to...

Melanie- yet another visual - what am I going to do with you!?!?! (And trust me I wouldn't wish constipation on anyone) Which reminds me that when I was pregnant w/ my DD my husband told me that giving birth really wouldn't be any different than being constipated for a few days then finally...

Melanie- PLEASE!!! I'm eating my Chocolate Fudge Poptarts right now and I have this picture in my head of you know what and the two just don't go well together! Besides, I find myself actually hoping you become constipated again! LOL! Jen- your dogs are going to hate it when you're not...

And I ask myself, "Why did I go back and read the previous posts?"; I walked hills on the treadmill and did back. I just didn't have the energy to do much else. I've also vomited 2 days in a row now. I haven't done that in weeks. I thought by week 20 I'd be over that. Melanie- Have a...
