%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

Happy Mother's Day to all!! Enjoy it.

My temperature dropped this morning, so I'm kind of hoping it's not the witch just yet as I have lots of plans in the next few days. HA!!HA!! Orioles Opening Day (baseball) is tomorrow afternoon, I have an all day study at work on Tuesday, and then I have two all day training sessions on Wed/Thurs. Of course...if it is her, I can get started on my "lady hormones" bloodwork, so that will be good. Now I'm torn.

Cooking bacon in the oven this morning in preparation for a caramelized leek soup with maple glazed bacon. My house smells amazing and it's only 7a. And yeah...I made two extra pieces for quality control. Now I just need an egg. yum yum..Oldermom-Please tell me you've had bacon since you've been back! I think it's gluten free!

 

[battyatty]

Right ladies I have decided to start taking extra B vitamins as I have read it helps with fertilization and implantation, now I have some pills, they contain

B1 1.4mg
B2 1.6mg
Niacin 18mg NE
B6 2mg
B12 1ug
Pantothenic acid 1mg

so question do any of you know is this enough/too much?

Oh, yes. If they put wheat in bacon I would have to resign myself to dying young.

Terri - I think I may need that recipe - sounds yummy!

Batty - I can't help on vitamins hun as whatever I have tried hasn't worked so far - but B6 & B12 are very good for you - I think this month I might add Vitamin C to my cocktail

Older - How are you getting on with the substitutes - are you feeling better with them - more energy

Felcity - No! no allowed on Mother's Day

ER - hun what I remember from all my laporoscopies was the terrible gas and also shoulder pain but the scarring was minimal (in fact you can't even see it when wearing an itsy bitsy bikini) those days have gone now but a cyst needs to be removed have they said how big it is?

Sis - How are you today hun

AFM - CD2 again feeling it a bit this month as I have not been pregnant since a year ago next cycle (so much for being fertile)

Happy Sunday to All and Mothers day to Ladies over seas!! I had no idea they were different !!!

I'm doing well Thanks for asking Garfie past few days have been hard cuz I've been so emotional but at least my hormones are dropping!!
My OPK was way way lighter yesterday!!

We had a Block party last nite so I had a Apple beer and hung out for a Lil while I told them what was going on cuz I've been MIA for weeks and Anti social and didn't want everyone to think I was Hating on them!!!
Everyone was very understanding and I got out for a bit and felt normal for awhile which was nice!!

Hi Atty! My doctor prescribed prenatals for me with this:

2700 IU Betacarotene
3 mg B1
3.4 mg B2
20 mg Niacinamide
5 mg Pantothenic Acid
10 mg B6
120 mg C
30 IU E
2 mg Copper
.15 mg Iodine
35 mg Iron
50 mg Magnesium
14 mg Zinc
1.1 mg Folic Acid
12 ug B12
250 IU D3
300 mg Calcium

It's called PregVit and you're supposed to take it at least 2-3 months prior to conception, throughout pregnancy and during postnatal. Not sure if it's available where you are. Here it is only by prescription I believe.

Terri - You inspired me to start cooking today! There's something very therapeutic about cooking, isn't there? So far I did pancakes, quiche, muffins and now planning butter chicken and aloo gobi for supper.

Hope everyone's doing well today!

 

[Wish4another1]

Good afternoon ladies I just had to chime in on the cooking
I got home from church and pulled the brisket out of the smoker and a pan full of smoked veggies!!!! My whole house smells like smoked meat!!!! Oh yeah it's awesome !!!
And chocolate peanut butter cookies for dessert!!! And did I mention it's beautiful outside!!!!!
I sincerely hope each of you enjoyed or are enjoying your Sunday!!!
to all!!!

 

[terripeachy]

Well, it's therapeutic if you don't get to the second to last step and cause an explosion in the kitchen. It said to puree the onions/chicken stock/spices. Well, I guess my puree skills aren't up to par, because I hit go, and half the soup exploded out of the top of the blender. I even had my hand on the top. YOWSERS!! So now the 4 cups of soup that I planned on having turned into about 2.5. HA!!HA!! Oops. I guess I will be enjoying my soup and then mopping the kitchen. It does taste good though. Good thing the television cameras weren't rolling (I always pretend I'm on tv when I cook).

 

[Sis4Us]

Sounds awesome Wish!!!! Happy Anniversary

Sounds fun Terri my boys would have been and told everyone about mom blowing up stuff!!!

I'm making Lemon Pepper chicken and Safron Rice and veggies !!!! We had BarBQ chicken last nite but hey we Like YRd bird as DH said!!

Atty I take 100mg B6
1000mg B12

I sent all my Psychics a Email updating them on my loss and asking for answers so we will see what they say !!!

Jeebuz that makes my intake puny! lol

Food wise I made homemade wholemeal chapattis and curry leaf pepper chicken, one of my fav dishes! Super spicy!!

 

[terripeachy]

Everyone's cooking today. Love it! I love the spicy/saffron/curry combinations you guys have. Hubs isn't a big fan of strong flavors, so we don't eat a lot of stuff like that. He didn't even want to have a bowl of soup. He said "I'll taste it." I was hoping he wouldn't like it so I could eat the rest, but he liked it! Boooo/yay!! hee hee.

It just started snowing here! We have a weather advisory until midnight! Good thing we have soup. Wish-Those cookies sound so good. Did you make those too??

 

[Sis4Us]

That's why I only take the 2 I didn't do the B complex or Multi vitamins cuz it mixes to much up and then u really dont know what Ur getting or absorbing shall I say!!
I take a handful and I've already started All of them AGAIN!!!

I've heard good and bad about Vit C it's good for men to separate sperm but if women take to much it can cause MC so just take a low dose if u do!!

Heard from one of my Psychics all she said was she SAW a girl in my near future does that mean they don't See losses??? Hmmm

 

[Smiles013]

Hiya ladies.....catching up on all the happenings around here.

Erose...so sorry about the cyst as the pain you experienced. Wishing you a speedy recovery and

Futuremom...big big to you as well, truly sorry for your loss.

Sis....glad you're starting to feel a wee bit better, I know there will be good and bad days and I hope that psychic was right that would be so awesome. You make sure you are taking care of yourself above all.

Terri....I laughed out loud at the blender incident not because it exploded but the part where you said you pretend you are on TV while you're cooking is what did me in! Lmao

Atty....that bottle of wine sound delicious! Enjoy your day and from the sounds if it your fabulous meal!

Sounds like we got a bunch of Betty Crockers on the board! I actually was in the mood to cook a little and decided to make a nice big pan of lasagna, which I haven't made in ages! It's super rainy and cold here, so I wanted some comfort food and nothing says comfort like a pan of extra saucy 3 cheese lasagna. Lol

Hope you all are enjoying your Sunday.

 

[Radkat]

Erose- So sorry about the cyst. That sounds awful. Hope the surgery and recovery are quick.

Sis - I understand about feeling sad sometimes. I still do too. Trying to move on to the positive though. Maybe I should get back on my vitamin routine too.

Terri - I've done the same thing with the blender. I learned from that that you should take the little part out of the lid on the blender and put a towel over it, or use a stick blender, so steam can escape. That what blows the lid off. Crazy, huh?

You all are putting me to shame with you're cooking. I just ate veggie burgers and an apple with peanut butter.

 

[terripeachy]

Smiles-Good to hear from you!! Extra cheesy lasagna sounds super good. How are you feeling?

Radkat-Yeah...I looked it up after the fact. The recipe did say to cool, but hungry/greedy girls don't know what cool means when we're trying to eat.this.delicious.soup. I felt like a complete idiot afterwards, and realized after reading that, yeah, the steam has to go somewhere. I'm just happy I had SOME left, and didn't have to lick the walls.

Sis-I'm glad that you were out and about with your neighbors yesterday. I bet they were happy to see you. Also, what else can your psychic say? I think it's awesome that you contacted them. Is there a money back guarantee?

 

[Sis4Us]

No money back guarantee but most will give u a update if they are wrong that's why I contacted them all the others said March and girl but I got PG in Feb so I asked Again!!

I just didn't understand her response she said **sorry for your loss I definetly Saw a Girl in your near future!!! So I'm guess she is saying she saw me having a girl not a loss idk!!
Hope she's right and my Lil Girl is close!!

Older - How are you getting on with the substitutes - are you feeling better with them - more energy

AFM - CD2 again feeling it a bit this month as I have not been pregnant since a year ago next cycle (so much for being fertile)

It can be pretty frustrating when we are ready to try again, but our bodies are not cooperating! Hang in there, garfie!
Sleep was never something I had a whole lot of problems with- but I used to have more skin rashes and diarrhea...which I don't have now. I hope the weight loss continues, too!

Good thing the television cameras weren't rolling (I always pretend I'm on tv when I cook).

That totally cracked me up! I have done that soooooo many times- and it always seems to be with items that are hot.
My mother asked me today if she could use my Christmas present (we won't exchange gifts until my hubby comes back in June). I had no idea what she was talking about until she pulled out this MASSIVE crock-pot. Now you have inspired me to do some pot roast, chicken...mmmmmmmmmmmm

 

[oldermom1975]

Happy Mother's Day, Atty (and all of our overseas friends)!

 

[Smiles013]

Terri....I'm feeling okay for the most part. Some days I have tons of energy and other days I'm back to no energy, nauseated and puking. I've decided to take my behind back to the gym to work out on a more regular basis plus since my job moved a couple months ago and we're closer to corporate ( 5 minutes away) and they have a brand new gym to match their brand new building I can take advantage of the facility FREE of charge. Whoo-hoo!!!! Gym....here I come! Lol.

 

[Katie Potatie]

Hi ladies! I swear I will catch up with everyone soon, but like I said before, it's been crazy busy on this vacation. Today we celebrated my grandparents' 70th wedding anniversary...70 years!
Lord help me, I just hope to make it to 70, in general!

Anyhoo, it was a nice party. I saw everyone on here has been talking about food. Now I'm super hungry, so I may have to go ravage all the leftover food from the party!

Here's a pic of me, my Mimi and my DD. (My daughter is better at taking pictures with my phone than my mother is, hence, this is a blurry picture.). Oh well.

Hope everyone is doing well, I have lots of pages to read when I can sit down and properly go through them to catch up with everyone status.
