Alisha: Oh my God I feel like the worlds BIGGEST ass, you needed me and I was not here. I thank God that Aalissa saw your post and was talking with you. I am sooooo unbelievably sorry. Please forgive me! --- I know what it is like being depressed about your weight, I am the same way, I am not happy with how I look but I am happy with my life. You and I will lose weight together. Have you talked to your hubby or your DR about this? I DO NOT THINK YOU ARE SELFISH. You are a wonderful mom the perfect friend and an awesome wife, you have two perfect kids and who knows someday you might want another. For now focus on yourself, Serge, and the precious little ones. Right now what matters is that you and I get rid of our fat! lol --- I want to test, but I do not want to see another BFP... plus I am having cramps, so I bet AF is on her way, but like I said Mike and I were not totally focused on TTC this month. Aalissa: You are doing a great job with your weightloss!!! I am so proud of you. I just read your post... I did not know you had a m/c. How far along were you when it happened? Is it ok if I ask about it? I understand if you do not want to talk about it. Jennifer: How fricken cool are you looking out for everyone. Emily: Where the hell are you again? Girl you need to stop disappearing like that. It is enough to make me wanna kick your butt.... oh, by the way, I love the name West. What is the middle name going to be? Jacque

HI girls, Wow, our board now has 2 new members...hee hee. Emily, you better get on it, or they're gonna' be posting more than you. I'm just jokin' ya'. Jacque- I'm so happy that you are doing okay. I hope that your new relaxed attitude helps you get a bfp this month. I think you are smart to wait until after you're late. I'm so proud of you and your weight loss. I'm excited to start mine too. I appreciate that you are going to be my buddy and don't worry about the being gone when I needed you thing. I'm okay. I decided to start back on the South Beach Diet. I had a lot of success with it last time, and until I can afford Nutrisystem, it will do. I started today and am already missing my bread. Ha Ha! I'm a junkie when it comes to white flour and sugar and that is why I'm so overweight. I know I can get it off though, especially with your help. We'll support each other. I'm glad to hear about your 100% on the daycare. Good for you. I wish you could watch my girls. You must be excited about your vacations and Pearl Jam. That will be fun. I'm sure that Kailey will be a princess...just like in her photos. Yesi is going to be a flower girl in my brohter's wedding this summer and she's so excited. This must be a rough cycle for you since it is the anniversary of your mom's death and of course your little angel. I'm thinking of you and hoping that the two of them will send you a little gift from heaven to show how much they love you. You deserve it! Oh yeah, I hope your friend Kim gets out of the hospital really soon.
Jennifer- I am so happy for you about your pregnancy. I was hoping that it would come soonh for you . You trie for like 2 years, right? That's awesome that it finally happened for you. Jacque's is coming next. I would like to invite you to come over and join us on the "Pregnant mommies and mommies to be board." I started it like 8 months ago,and there are quite a few ladies posting there now. WE'd love to have you too. I have a home remedy for sore throats that is totally safe for pregnancy. It is an old Salvadorean recipe. Start by slathering olive oil all over your neck and throat. ( I know it sounds crazy, but it works.) Make sure you put a paper towel on like a bib or you'll ruin your clothes. It is best to do this at night before bedtime. After that, take a clove of garlic and chop it up really fine. Put it in a shot glass and add a half a lemon worth of lemon juice and a dash of salt. Chug it and if you have to you can plug your nose to avoid the taste. I personally think it tastes kind of good, but many can't hack it...or they'll hack. Hopefully you'll be able to use this remedy at least until m/s kicks in. Maybe it won't for you though. Give it a try if you'd like. I've used it for years and it works for me. You can drink the mixture as often as you'd like. Milissa- You didn't come let me know about your weight loss ya' punk. I hope you lost your 5 pounds, but if you didn't don't forget that during your period you can retain water. I always gain like 3-7 pounds every cycle during my period and then it comes off about 3 days after I stop a/f. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Take care girls, Alisha

You are NOT going to believe what happened here yesterday...... Remember how AF was supposed to show on CD29, she always shows on CD29.... well, she was a DAY EARLY! So today is already CD2, what do you think of that! The thing is... that is not the only strange thing that happened...... All of my day care kids left early, it was coincendental..... and a good thing too. Because shortly after the last one left I went out back to take out the garbage. I look up at the sky and I can see this total downpour up north... I can actual see the drops of rain, it was so pretty but very weird. Then from the SOUTH it start heading toward us too, and hard there was so much rain and it was coming from every direction. Then we hear this HUGE crack and the neighbors tree was struck by lightning!!! Can you believe that, holy cow the tree fell over on the power lines so the entire neighborhood was "humming" and there was this horrible blue light coming from the lines...... the windows start shaking and the power is surging. I run upstairs to unplug the computer's surge protector and send Kailey and Jennifer (my assistant) to the basement.... then the Tornado sirens start going off. We go downstairs and then within about 5 minutes it is all over. We come up and then it is just chaos outside. There are trees down every where.... all of the neighbors are outside trying to figure out what was going on..... wow it was awful, but really neat. Then we all go look at the tree that is causing the trouble on our block. It was hit by lightning, and ALL of the birds that were in it were lying on the ground dead.... I assume the lightning. To top it all off the news people were here from the Quad Cities.... I went inside at this point, I did not wanna be one of those hillbillies that were on the news... you know the ones, I am sure you have all seen them. It seems that whenever they show someone from the neighborhood that something happened in that person ALWAYS looks like a hick, it does not matter where they are from. lol Anyway, that is why I did not get back online..... the good thing is that out of all of the HUGE trees that are down, NONE of them hit a house. Not one, THANK GOD because that would cause a ton of damage. Anyway, Gotta get Kailey ready for school. Jacque

I always gain water weight when AF is here too. I hate her she is such a bitch.
Alisha: I had to laugh when I read about your home remedy. I so can see you doing that. I hope it works for Jennifer too, in fact I think it sounds yummy also. lol You need to start a weightloss ticker for your siggy, maybe it will help keep you motivated. I LOVE watching my ticker!!! My next weigh in will be been AF leaves, which will thankfully be right before the wedding! The bonus is that I will not Ovulate until after we are already home... which is great because the last thing I want is to have sex on the air mattress in my cousin's house.... I so know we would pop it. lol --- Yesi is going to look so cute in the wedding, I cannot wait to see photos... is she looking forward to it? Kailey is nervous about the wedding, she does not want to have to dance with a boy. lol --- How are things going with Abri, is she sleeping well? Do you feel tons better now that the stress from breastfeeding is gone?
I love you girls!
Jacque

Aalissa: I do not remember you telling me that story, I so would have remembered that! I am so sorry you had to go though all of that, that is just awful. Looking back on my m/c I can tell that I have become a better and stronger person because of it... I hope yours also had the same effect on you. Like they say, what does not kill you will only make you strounger... right? --- Thanks for all of the workout tips! I will not weigh in again until AF leaves, I hope when I do I will see a bit of a change... I would be happy with just a pound less then what I was before AF came!
How is everyone else doing?

Hey, ladies! How are all of you?? It sounds like you've been busy, busy, busy! Alisha, girl, I know how you feel. I have always had to be careful with my weight, not one of those people who can just eat and do whatever she wants. But, I was super bummed after I had Scottie because I just couldn't seem to get it off! It sounds like what you're doing is great, though! I personally did weight watchers and LOVED it!!! I felt like it taught me how to eat healthy, not just diet. So, I cooked tons of ww meals at night and Scott and Scottie loved them! And they were super easy, too. It'll come off, girl. Just give yourself a little time. Jacque, it sounds like everything is going great! Congratulations on the evaluation for your daycare! That is fantastic!! I am so proud of you! Also, that sounded super scary about your storm! We get stuff like that all the time here, but nothing that close to my house. That'd scare me to death! Well, everything is the same here. Just way too busy. We have our vacation bible school in June and a concert the last night as well. We're expecting about 800 kids at VBS and 1,000 people at the concert. And since I'm special events, I'm the one who plans everything. So, it's just wearing me out!!! But, it's going to be fun! I need to run and get some work done, but I love you girls! e

Emily: I am glad things are going well.... just busy! Holy cow girl, you have a million things going on. It all sounds like fun, so that is good. What is your theme for VBS? I love VBS soooo much! Just be sure to take loads of breaks and drink tons of water. You do not want little West wearing you out. You know.... you are the first person in a LONG time to be expecting a baby boy on this site... we had quite a Girl Trend going here!!!
Alisha: I MISS YOU!!!! Post Damn it!

Hi girls, I'm so sorry I've been gone. My computer has crapped out on us and Serge is trying to fix it. If he can't, I will only be able to post every couple of weeks. That will suck.
Update on me: I HAVE ALREADY LOST 10 POUNDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 10 POUNDS IN 10 DAYS! I am completely freaking out! I have always done well on low carb diets like Atkins, but I gain it all back. After I had Yesi, I went on the South Beach, which if you're not familiar with, is not low carb or low fat, but right carb and right fat. It ends up being a lot lower carb than I normally eat though! I started it on the 16th, and haven't cheated even once! I'm pumped b/c I'm also just finishing up my period, when I'm usually retaining water. I feel great, and am eating plenty too. I don't feel deprived at all at this point. I just had to share that info with you girls, b/c I'm so excited! Oh, my first nephew was born, FINALLY! My poor sister in law was a full 14 days overdue, and they had to induce her. It only took 8 hours for him to be born though. He shocked us all b/c he was 9 and a half pounds and 20 inches long HUGE! My sister in law is only about 5 foot 2, and maybe 110 pounds soaking wet (before pg./) WE couldn't believe it! HIs name is Sebaztyan (I bet you can guess that I suggested the "Y") and he is adorable!
Abri & Yesi update: Abri is doing great. She's so funny...she is already a little flirt and a little stinker. She gives us these funny little warning grunts that just make us crack up. If she's starting to get hungry, she gives us this frustrated sounding little grunt and if we don't get the bottle to her quickly, she lets loose. Now shes' starting to give us the warning grunt when she's just pissed too. Like if Yesi is making noises while she's eating or something...what a little force to be reckoned with. I just adore her! Yesi is doing fantastic as well. She's still doing awesome with the potty training, accept that now she goes poopy on the potty too. It has been three weeks now with no accidents. I think we are home free. I'm so proud of her. She's such a big girl now and such a fantastic help for me. She does everything for me. She is even starting to ask me if she can do dishes with me. Tonight she washed the salad for our dinner. What a little princess. I feel so lucky to have two beautiful girls! What a blessing.
Jacque- I had a weight loss ticker all done and everything, and then my computer crapped out on me and it was gone. Bummer! That is hilarious that Kailey doesn't want to dance with a boy. Before you know it, you'll be wishing that! I hope that you have a fun weekend. Oh, I have a freaky story too. You know how I have 7 brothers...well one of them, Joey (18) ended up in the emergency room last week with massive stomach pains which I guess he's been having for like 3 years, and hadn't told anyone. Well, they found on a CAT scan that he had a bowel obstruction, but weren't sure what it was. So, they sent him in for a laproscopy, and next thing we know, they are rushing him in for major abdominal surgery. He was in the operating room for 4 hours! THey had to cut him from sternum to groin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You see, when he was born, he had a diaphragmatic hernia, which caused all of his organs to be resting on his lungs. He almost didn't survive. Anyways, they had to shove them all back inside of him, and I guess over the past 18 years, they have all grown together. So, the Doctors had to cut them all apart and sew them back up again and put them in the right place. The funniest thing happened when I was talking to him after the surgery. He is EXTREMELY skinny, and has been his whole life. No matter how hard he tried, he could never gain an ounce. Anyways, the Doctors told him that it was because his food was never able to be absorbed properly and that's why he was so skinny. So I told him, "Well you better be careful b/c now you're gonna' get chubby." He started to laugh and then I said, "Hey, maybe I could have your Doctor do to me what he just undid for you, and then I'll be skinny." He just busted up laughing. Thank God he was on a ton of morphine. The poor baby will be in the hospital for 7 days and will miss his graduation from high school. That is such a bummer, but more for us than him. He didn't even really want to walk, but you know his mom and I wanted to see him graduate.
Emily- I would have never imagined that you stuggled with your weight. You look so slim in your photos. How's your pregnancy going? You're getting farther and farther along every day. When is your due date again? I love the name West. It is very original! Is Scottie starting to understand that she's going to have a baby brother? She will love it!
Millissa- What a sad story about the m/c. I'm so sorry about that. THanks for the words of encouragement, and as you can see, I'm doing great so far. Good for you on those 2 more pounds by the way.
Well, if you girls don't hear from me for awhile, it's just b/c my stupid piece of crap computer is not working. I can only hope that my DH will get it fixed. We are going to buy a new one, ( a laptop) for Christmas, if we can afford it. We'll see.
Take care girls, Alisha
