Alisha - we just weren't positive she was a girl, the only time we saw it was at 14 1/2 weeks u/s and we weren't able to confirm it after that, so I'm glad that 3 people did say we ARE having a girl at my 22 week u/s!!! Oh, and her name will be Isabelle Grace! I'm watching her kick my insides right now, this is the best part of pg!!!!!! I love watching my belly bounce around! Hee hee! We painted the nursery Iced Mauve over the weekend! We are so ready! Oh, and I had a dream last night that I was 40 weeks pregnant and no progress (no dilation, no effacement, etc), I hope that's not a prediction! I want to have this baby VBAC so bad!

Personals in a bit..... first I wanna tell you all about our trip!
On the way to Ohio we came to a complete stop on I-80. Right outside of New Lenox, a dump truck went from the west bound lane into the east bound lane and tipped over. So, traffic stopped for 2 hours while then cleaned it up. I did my makeup and my nails.... and played tetris on the cell phone. It went by fast, Kailey slept and Mike and I got to talk without a million interruptions, so it was nice.
We got there Thursday night, and went right to the Dress shop. Kailey's dress was about 1.5 feet to long! They did an amazing job with alterations though, and the dress looked perfect. After she tried on her dress we visited with Aunt Carol and my Cousin Brian and the new baby. He is so cute, and so BIG! I could just love him to pieces... then we went by the Salon to see Terri and Aimee stopped by Kris's house and then went back to Brian and Terri's we stayed up late talking and all that.
Then on Friday we had the Rehearsal Dinner, the Rehearsal and we decorated the hall. It went by so fast, and we had a great time. As it turned out Kailey did NOT have to walk up the isle with a boy and she was soooo happy!
Saturday was the wedding, and it was perfect. Saturday seemed to come and go in a flash, it seemed like we got up and then 5 minutes later we were leaving the reception.
Sunday we went to Earl and Carols for lunch, all of my cousins were there, then we went out back and shot guns at 2 ltr bottles... you all know how I am about guns and you would have laughed your butts off if you would have seen me... but it was fun. My only complaint about the entire weekend is that we really did not have time to visit......... oh well, we will just have to plan a special trip just for that!
Now that we are home we are playing catch up from all of the things we missed, I think that sanity will once return here in about a week. By that time we will be back on track. Oh, I also had sex in my cousins bathroom... could not take the chance of missing my O day.... so if we get a BFP this month then EVERYONE will know that this baby was conceived in my cousins bathroom.. making it the luckiest place on earth. Just for the record noone was home when we did it, and I was bent over the bathtub to make sure my hair and makeup did not get messed up. lol

Hi all. I hope everyone is well!
Alisha-That sucks that your computer is on the fritz. I hope it gets fixed soon, although you haven't posted for a few days so I'm guessing it may have gone to cyber-heaven. That's so great about your weight loss. I did South Beach after I had Abbie and it worked well. The only complaint I had was that it required so much prep work to prepare the food, but now they have all those South Beach convenience prepackaged foods, so I bet it's easier.
Linda-I love Isabelle Grace. I desperately wanted Lexi's middle name to be Grace, but Alex put the ixnay on that since I picked the first name, he got to pick the middle name. Congratulations on your little girl! Have you started buying all those cute clothes yet?
Jacque-Your pics of your cousin's wedding are great! It looks like everyone had a good time. Hey, if you do get your BFP this month, I wouldn't tell that conception story to the kid, hee hee. Maybe all you need is a change of venue to get that BFP!
Kris-I haven't seen you around for a while, has your baby made an early appearance? I hope so!
Jennifer-Sorry about the m/s. It sucks, hang in there, only a few more weeks!
Diane-Is it time for an updated belly pic? You look so cute in your last one.
As for me, I am still pregnant. I am really swollen with a lot of fluid and can barely even wear flip flops. I cried the other day because I had to take my wedding ring off cause it was cutting off the circulation in my finger (nearly broke my knuckle trying to get it off too!) The human resources dept. at my work is giving me a hard time about the bonding leave I want to take, telling me I don't work enough hours a year to qualify to take bonding leave, although the state of California has already approved me for paid bonding leave after my disability ends. Of course my boss is on vacation so I have to wait for her to get back so that I can get this all straightened out. The HR dept at my work are soooo unhelpful and unfriendly, the woman I've been dealing with was literally gleeful when she told me that I couldn't take any bonding leave. It's so not something I want to deal with right now. I told them I'd quit if I didn't get bonding leave. It's so easy for nurses to find work, it really wasn't an idle threat. So actually not a lot good going on here. Oh, and my doc thought Lexi was breech at my last appt, but decided (after a VERY thorough, and painful, internal exam) that she is head down. My folks are going to take Abbie overnight Saturday so I think I will take myself to the movies (Alex has to go into work) to see my boyfriend Vince Vaughn in "The Breakup". I really can't see what he sees in that Jennifer Anniston girl, I mean sure, she's gorgeous, skinny, and rich. But he could have me, 10 months pregnant with someone elses child, a three year old, and cankles (those would be my calf sized ankles). He is obviously delusional.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!
Amanda

Amanda: I'm still pregnant too I guess Sara isn't ready yet . I'm starting to get swollen in my ankles and my fingers hurt when I move them all the time know. I'm very uncomfortable sleeping at night and walking to much kills my back. I can't wait to deliver her already. My rings don't fit my fingers neither anymore and I hate the idea of not being able to wear them. Especially outside of the house I hate it so much. Hopefully soon we will see our little babies ;D ;D ;D Kristina K

Kris: It is almost over! Hang in their girl, Sara will be here soon. Remember, she is alot easier to take care of when she is inside of you! Amanda: I am sorry you have to deal with all of that. This is supposed to be a relaxing time for you. Is your supervisor back from vacation yet? I hope you get this all worked out soon. (((HUGS))) Less then a week until your due date, how are you feeling? Is Lexi going to come early or late? --- So how was your date with Vince? LOL if I were him I would leave Jennifer in a heartbeat... come one, name one man that would not give his left testicle to be with you! Linda: I LOVED watching my belly move when I was pregnant with Kailey... that was so unbelievably awesome! Diane: I agree with Amanda, it is time for a new belly pic. Alisha: I miss you! I hope that computer gets fixes soon. Good job on the weight loss that is AWESOME!!!! Jacque

Good morning! Still pregnant, hoping this condition will resolve itself soon. I can't believe this baby hasn't come out yet, I can't even stand without feeling like she's just going to fall on out. Alex is afraid she'll be born on Tuesday and then her b-day will be 6/6/06 and it will be a bad omen-like I will have given birth to Damien or something.
Jacque-I haven't heard back from my work, and I should probably follow up on it, but I'm due to have this baby anytime and I just don't want to deal with it right now. So, like an ostrich, I have my head in the sand. Vince and I had a lovely time, although the movie wasn't up to typical Vince standards as far as I'm concerned-I would definitely save that one for rental material.
Kris-we're almost done!!! YAY!! Soon we won't be pregnant anymore and we will get to have that sweet little baby in our arms, I can't wait! Hang in there!
Amanda

Amanda: I agree with waiting to call work, NO STRESS RIGHT NOW!!!! I cannot believe that you are due any time now. So, are people driving you crazy yet with calling and asking if baby is here? LOL on the 6-6-6! You know if your baby is born then, and she is a little ornery then you will forever blame it on the fact that her birthday is 6-6-6! -- I also remember the falling out feeling with Kailey.... to bad it is not that easy, huh?

Amanda,
I know everybody keeps telling me :D6/6/06 will be the day that you go into labor isn't that funny. I was a colic baby until I was a year old so I gave my mom such problems so I guess that's why she keeps saying that too.

How is everyone else doing?
We are trying to get stuff done around the house. We want to get most everything packed this week/weekend because my little sister and one of her friends are coming next Monday and staying for 2 weeks!!! ARGH!!! I hope I dont kill her before it is time for her to go home! Sometimes we dont get along to great! I am not sure how much I will be able to get online while they are here because they want to do alot of sightseeing (not that there is much to see). So far we are going to Myrtle Beach one day, the zoo one day, a little lake in town that has all kinds of ducks and geese, and maybe some other state parks around here. It should be fun. I cant wait to go swimming. I have been craving swimming lately...if that is possible!!! LoL!
Well today if my first real appointment!!! I cant wait!!! I really hope I get an u/s today but I am not counting on it. A girl can hope though.

Well I am back from my appointment. It was really pretty boring. Just a routine physical. The Dr was surprised that I hadnt been in for an ultrasound yet since I am almost 9 weeks so they scheduled one for Thursday at 2:00. I cant wait!!! I am so excited! I cant wait to post the first pics of my little one!!!
