Hi Ladies!
Gee wiz, I haven't gotten any email notifications that there was anyone posting so I figured there was no activity. I was surprised with 6 pages. SO sorry to have missed all the action.
Angela, glad things went well. I knew you'd be just fine with little babes. So glad to hear it confirmed though to ease your mind. It's always such a good thing to hear. Ethan is such a little cutie-pie!
Beth, sounds like your on the road to sanity with the schedule and the baby's new med. LOVED poppy's pics. Too cute!
Hi Twinks and HA!
Jules, I haven't lost a whole lot and in fact I'm pretty ticked off. Doug and I are on the same vegetarian plan with a few exceptions and that man already lost 20lbs. I've been back to pre-baby weight BUT....I'd like to get to the weight I was before my first pregnancy which ended in loss. That means I have almost 50lbs to lose. It's not going ANYWHERE!
Granted I don't feel safe enough to walk outside here in this area but I am eating a whole lot better and exercising when I have the time here in the house. Hopefully once we get settled I'll start losing a bit more.
I also LOVE the photo of you when your a baby and your right! You both look alike. It's so lovely to see isn't it?!
Amelia was giving me issues with her 4pm nap time. I let her cry it out and she's asleep. I feel like a nap though. I've been so high strung that I haven't been able to sleep much.
Anna and Charmaine, thanks for the check-in on the home front. I am proud to finally say we found our home. It's in the country by a river and is about 15 minutes from church, the cemetery our son was buried in and only a 22 minute drive to Dougs work. I've heard nothing but good things about there area. It is a farming community so it has a wide variety of people. Some hard working blue collar families who are trying to keep their kids out of trouble and then there's the elderly. It's a small town feel where everyone knows everyone else. Our area is the newest and has smaller but nicer built homes while in the town there are homes built in the early 1900's. The school system is great and even though we'll homeschool, we plan to put Amelia in some sports, art and music programs to supplement and also give her a well-rounded education.
First of all, I have to say the price on this house was AMAZING! We found plenty of houses that were crap and wanted WAY more than this house offered. It has a partially finished basement, HUGE fenced in backyard. There's woods behind us, tree's to the property on the side of us and an elderly person to the side and across the street from us. Totally amazing with the updates. We WILL need to put in two new tubs and I'd like to replace the bathroom flooring and update lighting in both bathrooms, the kitchen and living areas. It will need paint in most rooms with exception to the grey bathroom and the green living area. Will also need a new door to the basement and whole new front door. Aside from that, so far so good. We have our inspection on Friday. We also found out that the family didn't think they were going to sell so quickly SO, they will have to reside in the place until mid July because the home owners of THEIR home are building. Our lawyers will deal with the technicalities which I'm hoping will go smoothly. ((My cousin and uncle are our lawyers to I have confidence it will be all taken care of))
I'll keep everyone posted. In the meantime I'm LOVING the pics of all the baby's.
So excited about the sono's I'm seeing.
Carole, I know this is hard but the end is not far. Keep pushing through the rough days. It will all be worth it when your holding your little one in your arms.
Steph, Yay on the home front. Hopefully you'll be settled sometime soon.
I've been thinking about you.
CJ: I'm so sorry to hear about your mil. :comfort: Glad to hear your mom will be retiring so she'll be able to spend some time with her grandbabies. Looking forward to seeing what joy this little one brings too along with big sister. Warms my heart!
Love and
to you all!!
A thought occurred to me, though - I may be overly cautious, but you may want to go back and edit that post to take out the link - it shows the address to your house, and these forums are visible to absolutely anyone and everyone - you don't have to be a registered user on BnB to read what's posted here....
The book mentions sex drives of both male and female would get better but I always ignore that stuff because it's never worked before. Umm, something's working. I also have the excess skin but everything's floating downward so I can't see any loss. Also, just under my chin is starting to sag and I feel as though my face looks bloated. What's up with that?! 
Just realized we won't have opportunities for intimacy until 6-8 weeks after the C-section since he's out of town!
