Good morning! Hope you had a good 4th! Mine was so so. Next year we want to go see a firework show. We went to a friend's house and the set some off for the kids but it was just the little ones that stay on the ground. Alex stayed in the house and watched a movie. :ohwell: He needs those big air force headphones so he can…

PS. I think I have had way too much wheat and sugar for my birthday weekend. I have felt like crying since last night and I have cried a couple of times. It feels very....wheat like. Must.Get. Control. I wonder how much better I would feel if I could go strictly gluten free. I know I would feel a little better because I've…

Mary, Sorry Charlie couldn't go with you this morning. Hope it was still a good class! And I don't like parties either. Most of the time. Some times they are okay when my good friends are there. :smile: I woke up cranky this morning. Three things happened last night that set me in a bad mood. First of all, I realized I…

Hey, just a quicky type post here. We had a busy day. We went to church, then had lunch with friends. After that we came home and I started painting on Alex's truck again. Almost done. Now it's almost dinner time, and I'm tired so I hope to have a fairly early bed time tonight. We've still been up too late. Tomorrow…

I think this will at least be a birthday weekend. Lots of invites going on. We are having dinner with friends tonight, maybe tomorrow evening as well and then Monday too. I'll be ready for Wednesday when I will get most of a day at home again. Today has been mostly at home but we've been busy working on Steve's message…

Mary and V, how did your appointments go? CP, keep checking in with us! I am still having a hard time getting up in the mornings. Steve says we are going to be later than usual. We need to get back on our schedule to see if that helps. It certainly hasn't helped that he has had to work late every day for a while now.…

Mary, how's your foot today? Are you resting it? V, how was your "typical Wednesday"? I was a bit envious of your super long walk. Maybe I need to try that today. I think it's about time to get back in the boat. CP, so good hear from you. I am glad you had a low key vacation and you were able to rest some. I know, I can't…

V, sorry your favorite pants were ruined but I'm glad you found the problem AND you are smaller than you thought! :happy: Mary, that's stinks about your foot. So sorry. I really hope it is just a bruise. :flowerforyou: I got nothing done yesterday except dishes. I didn't even get the rest of the laundry put away. We ran…

Mary, I hope you don't get any more migraines and you are feeling alright today. V, glad you are feeling better. I hope your committee gets it together soon so you can continue! Yesterday was a little difficult for me. While I was cleaning up the house (didn't get much done) I was reminded of what I went through a couple…

Mary, sounds like you may have had a migraine. Have you had migraines before? I get the weird eye thing before I get them. Was it a "blind spot" or flashing light? Was it that kind of weird eye thing?

Mary the hike sounds fun! V so so sorry to hear you got food poisoning. Ugh! I hope you start feeling better today. I slept like 10-11 hours last night. I haven't slept like that in a really long time! I did wake up panicking because I couldn't remember where I was! It was so dark and I was still half asleep. I shook steve…

So begins our 36 hour day. 6 hours down sleeping. 30 more to go. Not looking forward to traveling. I hope we get adequet sleep on the plane for the four hour trek to SA. I'm sore from walking so much but it's a good sore. I am looking forward to getting back to an exercise routine. My knee did not hurt at all while we were…

Mary is the 2 year old a girl or boy? For a girl maybe some kind of baby doll that's ok for under three. For a boy a tonka truck, planes, trains. Bath toys are good for that age too. Walmart used to have this ABC toy called Alphabet town I think. It says it's for 3 and up but there are no small parts. Just buttons with…

Yay! I made it to 365 days! Lol! V, so glad you felt more energetic yesterday! Mary, so glad you got rain! And I hope your feet get better soon! Speaking of feet, ow. Mine hurt. We walked so many miles yesterday (I would say probably a total of 7-8.) and we walked more today (maybe another 4-5?). At least I don't have…

Mary I wish I had the power to being this weather back with me, especially since it includes rain chances. I heard dfw has gotten storms. Did you guys get any thing? V, hope your wifi is back up by now! Well the day we've been waiting for for almost three years finally came! I am a mom again! It hasn't really sunk in yet,…

Another quick post from my phone: We are at the hotel in Moscow! Let me say it is gorgeous here: 60-70* and everything is green. I was so excited to see green instead of white! The plane ride was okay except that lunch upset my tummy. Thought for sure the barf bag was going to come in handy. Steve told me it was nerves but…

Quick post from my phone! We are in the car headed to Houston! A little emotional this morning and a little stressed about making the flight but I'll be ok. Body seems fairly back to normal. At least I am in my jeans today. Bleeding stopped so I hope that's done too. It was harder for me to leave because Alex has been…

Good morning! CP, We will be flying back on Friday, so kind of a quick trip this time. Steve might have a computer job to do in SA before we go back home. So we may not get back to our house until Sunday afternoon. I hope you have a great trip and you enjoy it immensely! It appears my clothes are fitting again. A little…

Quick post! Mary, the movie thing sounds great! V, hope you have a relaxing day! My goal today? Find a suit for court. That is all. I hate shopping so I'm not really looking forward to this. Especially since I still have "baby fat" and I am still cramping and bleeding. :sick: Not fun. But I have to. I did get a decent…

Hi! Sorry I haven't commented on your posts lately. It's just been a little hectic. Lol. I'm on my phone so excuse my typos. Okay so yesterday we packed for a over night/possible week long trip in a matter of two hours! We left for Houston at 6:30 last night and arrived at 12:30am. Steve and I hardly slept at all from…

I'm hogging the thread. Oh. My. Goodness. Steve called and asked how my stress level is. Uh, what do you think? Well, it just quadrupled. We got a court date. You'll never guess when it is. Next Wednesday. That's right. Less than a week. We don't even know if it's possible for us to get there. He's making phone calls to…

V, I know I need to cry. I will. I just haven't figured out when. I will work on that. Alex did bring me to tears this morning. He volunteered to pray at breakfast which he hasn't wanted to do lately. He thanked God for the food and for getting to go to the playground today. Then he said, "Thank you God for the baby that…

Thanks Pebbs. I'm sure there will be water works today. Last night I drowned myself in my favorite restaurant food, dessert and my favorite movie. I ate too much, and still wanted to cry, but I made it till bed time. I am thankful I have a lot to do today, too much in fact. I'm trying to decide what to do today and what to…

Hey, I thought I'd wait to check in until after my doctor's appointment. I miscarried yesterday. I knew it, so I wasn't horribly surprised at the empty sonogram picture. I'm doing okay. I mean obviously this sucks and I'm not going to be great for awhile, but under the circumstances, I'm ok. I'm still hurting a bit…

So good news! My HCG levels are good! Yay! My progesterone is low though so they are putting me on meds starting tonight. I have a sonogram scheduled tomorrow at 1:30! I'm excited and nervous. The nurse said they didn't know what they would find, which was a gentle way of saying it could be too late. But I had problems for…

Mary, stay cool! It is hot for sure, but I'm not going to complain cause I'm stuck in the AC. :laugh: I will complain if the AC goes out though. :wink: V, how are you doing? Getting any more energy? CP, hoping you get some relief in the areas that have been hurting/stressing you! I am so thankful for my Pebbles. I enjoy…

I seem to be taking a turn for the worse this afternoon. I guess this morning's outing was too much. :cry: Hurting a lot. Not giving up hope but I'm not moving off this couch either. Please not again boogaloo. MM

V, I understand your disinterest in things. I have been there before, several times. It's not fun. Oh and when we moved into this house the electricity went out a lot and they told us it was squirrels too. We've got a bunch around here. Mary, glad you had a good weekend and I hope you aren't too sore. Well, I had my…

Mary I envy your muscle building. ;) I'm not really in the mood to write much. I was feeling better yesterday. Laid on the couch all day just like i am suppose to. Stopped bleeding. It started again this morning. Even worse. So it's not looking good right now. I will continue to lay around today and plan to go to the appt…

Well, guess what. I'm on bedrest. Surprise, surprise. I started lightly spotting last night. It stopped quickly after I got my feet up but it started again his morning. I didn't even do anything yesterday. I did put the dishes in the washer and did a light load of laundry. That was it. My mom, always the optimist, says…
