OK I am done........ but I think it had something to do with killing the thread

Hey there Karla! I'm Chelsea, 30 years old and a freelance photographer my little boy is 6 week old Payton. Married to David who is 32 years old and a police officer. We live in the SF Bay Area.

Awww.... Tracy give Katie a big hug from us. promise I didn’t laugh till Jen made me think of the road runner....lol

Sarah ~ What going on with you co workers son, has been in my prayers since I read your post.

Michelle ~ you talk to your boss yet ?? Mmmm you is in trouble.... LOL !!

Dawn ~ you around?? wanted to talk to you about your slings.

Hitting on a few thing talked about belly wise my button never popped, I did get the line (still have it) and did not get stretch marks. Payton just made it into NB diapers last week (yes my child has a chicken butt, blame his daddy) but he has only been pooping 2 times a day now and the one in the afternoon is HUGE and usually ends up in a blow out, thinking bout trying to "catch it with a size 1...LOL. Thanks for all the hip feedback. I have been a curvy girl since going through puberty the summer between my sophomore and Jr. year... yes I was a way late bloomer. Grew 3 inches up and 3 inches out in one summer. Always has big boobs with a big J Lo booty so I did NOT need bigger hips but it is kinda cool that it makes my waist look smaller. Just afraid that I wont fit into my jeans ever again. Have only tried on the ones that have a little give in them. Well Payton had his bath and is snoozin', David will be home soon so I am going to hop in the hot tub with a glass of wine and then off to la la land for me see you all in the mornin'

xoxo Chelsea

Good Morning Girls~

Well, I'm up early, because apparently DH thinks it's funny to scare the life out of me. He woke me up around 5am & the conversation went like this:

DH: "Hey, don't put the baby on the floor anymore."
Me: "What?" (still half-asleep)
DH: "Don't put the baby on the floor anymore."
Me: "What?!? I didn't put the baby on the floor. Oh my gosh, the baby's on the floor?!?" (freaking out now, because I think the baby is literally on the floor & wondering how he got there.)
DH: "No, don't put the baby on the floor to play during the day anymore, I just killed two huge spiders in the front hallway."

UGH! So now I'm freaked out by the spiders & traumatized from being woken up thinking that the baby somehow ended up on the floor during the night! The really funny thing is that I dreamed 2 nights ago that somehow Reilly had climbed out of his pack 'n play & was crawling around the floor. So, that's all I could think of, was that the child had actually gotten out during the night & ended up on the floor. On the spider issue, I guess I'm going to call the housing office today & see what they're going to do about our spider problem. We're seeing them in the house more & more frequently :shudders:.

[blueyedgrl]

Chelsea~ DTK = Designated Thread Killer. But I am seriously here about some of your definitions! (Hey, I like Toby Keith! ) Hey, maybe you could "double-diaper" - put the NB diaper on him & then put the Size 1 over top of it to catch any blowouts! (Yeah, I crack myself up, especially at this time of the morning! )

Sarah~ Too scary about your co-worker's family. I pray that there was a good resolution & he is safe!

Chelle~ Aww, looks like Elana really enjoyed her bath. That little seat looks really cool, I'm going to have to keep that in mind for when Reilly graduates from the sink.

Cecilia~ OMGosh, tornado watches? I am scared to death of tornadoes (but I grew up on the east coast, so I'm used to hurricanes. ) DH did go to Fort Sill in Oklahoma last fall for training & realized the threat of tornadoes once he got there. He called me the night he got there & said, "Oh my gosh, did you know they have tornadoes out here?" Yep, honey, didn't you ever watch "The Wizard of Oz" as a kid?

Well, I'm going to lay down on the sofa & see if I can get some rest before the kids wake up.

"Hi" to everyone who follows & I'll BBL.

[blueyedgrl]

Okay, one more question.

Why exactly is it "Breaking News" that Tom Cruise has proposed to Katie Holmes? Seriously, the local news here has called it "Breaking News" 3 times in the past 45 minutes.

[BrattyChelle]

Morning Ladies!!!

FINALLY the scale has passed my sig weight and shows me NOT ONE, but TWO pounds down. Of course, I'm only claiming the first one as I've seen it before

We go for Elana's 6 month check-up and vax's at 10:40 this morning, so I'll check in and let everyone know her specifics.

Chelsea....yep, I did talk to my boss and no I'm not in trouble LOL. I did lie tho and tell her we all were "napping". Not about to tell her the truth hahahaha.

Emily....OMG YUCK!!! There's no way I would have gotten back to sleep. I'd really recommend this tub...Elana had a blast and it really kept her safe. As for Tom Cruise Even as a kid I never got the crush factor on that man.

[trolly]

Question (especially for Jeffiner!): What do chicken pox look like when they first start out? Didn't Anna get chx pox? Sophie has a cluster of flat, red spots, around 6 of them, on her chest. And one on her back. No fever and she seems to feel fine. She's not scratching them, doesn't even seem to be aware of them at all.

She did crawl in the grass yesterday during playgroup so I'm thinking maybe chiggers??

[trolly]

Oh, and isn't Katie Holmes like 14 years old?! What's up with that??

[Friendship]

Chels- Are you getting any earthquakes up in your area? DH best friends live in So. Cal. and are just having a blast this past week.

Emily- OMG, I wouldn't be able to sleep for weeks after finding spiders all over my house. I have a thing about spiders, hope they can rid your place of them..... Hope you got in a nap before the kiddo's got up!!!

Chelle- Can't wait to here Elana's stats!!!!! Have an enjoyable second day off!!! Great job on the weight!!!!

Well, Hunter is just starting to stur at 8:05AM!!! I called in "sick" at work today so that Andrew could get a good sleep and then study some in case he gets the call for the testing tomorrow. I've got all my fingers and toes crossed. So, I will be on sporatic today depending on Hunter's neediness.

Well, today is Friday, weight in day for me...I think I have something for 1lbs, because once again, that is what I am down. So, my new weight is 195!!!!! Wish it was more, but I will take it!!

Oh well, gotta get Mr. Monster. BBL

[Friendship]

Trolly- Hey girl, Katie is in her 20's. I think maybe 24?

[BrattyChelle]

Trolly....I wish I could help you, are they like pinsize? Elana had about 15 of them on her stomach last night and it went away so I think it was heat rash.

[blueyedgrl]

Trolly~ If I remember correctly, Katie Holmes is 26 (& Tom is 42, for those interested. ) No, I'm not particularly a fan of either of them, but the news has been inundated by them & their antics lately. As for the chicken pox question, I'd keep a close eye on her & maybe call the ped just to make sure. Unfortunately, I'm one of those "lucky" ones who doesn't hold-on to immunity so I've had the chicken pox 5 times so far (twice as a kid & three times as an adult.)

Melissa~ Keeping all my crossables crossed for Andrew! Enjoy your sick day & on the lb!

Chelle~ Yay on the 2 lbs! Bet you'll be able to "claim" that second one soon! Hope Elana has a good visit!

[karatejen]

Emily~ Your spider story was too funny. Geez, MEN!

I don't think I would be upset over the spiders as I would be if DH woke me up. The baby wakes me up enough.

Chelle~have fun at the doc's. I hope Elana is a trooper when it comes to the vax.

Melissa~I am envious of you. DH wanted me to call in sick, but my assistant is off today, so I have to take care of the inventory. But I did come in late .

[farmgirl_05]

Good Morning!
Or as Bekah says "gooh mawnin" LOL She is firmly ensconced in her high chair, has finished her sippy of milk, banana and slice of raisin toast and asked to play with a "fuzzle" So, she's playing with a big knob puzzle!

The storms split and went both north and south of us! Not even any rain! yeah! We need a dry week or so....then maybe the wheat can be harvested around here! It's ready to be cut but the ground is too wet for the combines!
Need a good south wind.....hey Beth, can you send a little this way? You can keep any moisture down there though! OK?

Chelsea~Your wine and bath sounded heavenly....hope you slept very well!
I kinda like "Devilish Toby Keith"! LOL I like his music but he's getting a bit to grungy looking for my taste. I like the clean cut look most of the time....but their are exceptions.....Keith Urban is a hottie with long hair! woohoo!

OK.....puzzle is old news....it's on to coloring now! I got Bekah some markers that only mark on special paper.....they are awesome!

Melissa~Hurray on being down another pound! Have fun playing hookey today! And....big good luck for test taking.......I sure hope Andrew gets that call!

Emily~ That's a lot of pox! What a bummer.....I have never heard of anyone getting things again and again like that! And shame on your dh for scaring you like that! I'd call to see about some type extermination too!

Holly~I think it sounds kinda like chiggers....but keep an eye on them and see if they turn into little blisters.....

Chelle~My sweet little Elana can't be 6 months yet!!! That's much too fast....you need to tell her to slow down a bit! They don't seem to listen though....I gave Bekah that speech too....in one ear and out the other! LOL
Congrats on the two pounds down! You are the incredible shrinking woman!

Gotta go let Bekah down.....she's finished and ready to "go play"

Good Morning Kjen! Sorry you couldn't call in sick today......bummer. Inventory doesn't sound that fun either. Can you get it done quickly and develop a stomach ache?

you guys are so silly.

You never heard of DTK?

KJen- Hope work isn't that bad for you today.

Cecilia- Glad you didn't get those storms. I was thinking of you when we had a thunderstorm roll by us last night.

Tracey- Morning!!!

[blueyedgrl]

KJen~ Sorry you couldn't be "sick" today - hope your day goes quickly!

Cecilia~ Yep, strange but true, my body just doesn't hold some immunities. I'm also non-immune to Rubella & I've had the vax 3 times now. Are those the Crayola Color Wonder markers? They're great, I love them!

Tracy~ Hi!

Well, I'm off to do some stuff around the house (if Reilly cooperates.) I'll BBL to chat some more.

[BrattyChelle]

Cecilia.... Sounds like Bekah is gonna keep you busy!!!

Tracy.... ummm nope, never heard of it. Definitely liked some of Chelsea's tho

[GetNSlim]

Morning ladies. Not gonna be on much today...kinda depressed about the money situation...I guess I know now what some of you were going through a few months ago! I am so not wanting to go back to work, but I guess ya gotta do what ya gotta do. I am selling my laptop and Jared is selling his car...that should get us ahead for a month for me to start making money at my new job (when I get hired somewhere). Atleast with waitressing you usually get to start making tips after your first week of training...so that'll be nice. Anyway, nothing new with the weight, I forgot to weigh this a.m. before I ate...haven't had much of an appetite lately. I have some pics I'll post later!

Chels-My SIL lives in El Cajon, do you know where that is?? She is getting ready to maybe move back here though for a job offer!

Chelle-Cute pics of Elana last night!! Hope she has a good appointment...reminds me I need to make Jonathan's.

Emily-Icky about the spiders!!

KJen-I hope you have a better day today and your bossy isn't grumpy!

Melissa-I'm praying Andrew gets the job!

Holly-I hope Sophie doesn't have the chicken px. Did anyone at your playgroup have them lately??

Sarah-Any news about your coworkers son?? That is so sad!

Tracy-Goodmorning!!

Okay, think I got everyone..off to make pancakes, eggs, and fried potatoes.

[GetNSlim]

Crap, knew I'd forget someone, hi Cecilia!! Sounds like Bekah has a fun day going already!!! I'm glad the storms passed ya by!!

[BrattyChelle]

Vanessa....we're here if you need us!!

[TRACY2]

Vanessa ((((hugs))))

Been there. I hope things improve soon.
You have such a bubbly and sweet personality, you will find some place to work pretty quickly, I bet.
Is Jared going to keep the kids and you work at night? How will he get to work?

Chelle- love the pic last night. Wow she is getting big!
We also have that exact same seat. I don't like it though because it's bulky and the base fills with water. So when my older two go in for a shower, they have to move it out and stick it in the sink to drain it. Time consuming.
But- it's a back saver and I like how it doesn't budge once it's clipped on!

Here's ours-



Cecilia- I am so glad the storms missed ya!
How are Becka's hives now?

Hi Chels, Jen, KJen, Cynthia and anyone I have missed,

work is carazy!

[trolly]

Mornin'

Thanks for the info. on pox. I'm thinking it's NOT but it freaked me out to find those spots on her. They're not pin size, they're about half of a pencil eraser sized.

Re: belly, I got a faint line but it was barely noticeble. I got stretch marks, not terrible, but I got 'em. They've faded now but left a certain 'texture' to my stomach. Also, as someone else said (melissa?) my b-button just smoothed over flat with the rest of the beach ball but never popped out.

chels--Oooh, hot tub and wine sounds fabulous. I would worry about falling asleep and sinking as tired as I've been lately.

Vanessa--I'm sorry you're going to have to work. Since you're looking so good now though the tips should be good, from the menfolk at least.

Melissa--Any downward trend is great!

hi frmgirl and kjen

blueyedgirl--I've got you beat; we've found centipedes slithering around on our carpet. Haven't seen any in awhile though. They seem to come around whenever a new house is built nearby since that tills up the soil. Here's a visual:

[trolly]

sorry if that pic gives anyone nightmares!

[Friendship]

Trolly- YUCK, I am so not a bug fan.....

Tracey- Your girls are so darn cute!!!

Vanessa- ((HUGS)) to you too....things will work out, just keep looking on the bright side.

I really wish the Reg. HR guy would call us.....I'm guessing that Andrew's resume should be delivered anytime now. I overnighted it last night from work (one of the nice benifts of where I work, Home Depot is a BIG customer of ours so it just went thru!)

Well, I'm still trying to figure out today why Andrew is always complaining about Hunter being needy all the time. I go and play with him and then he gets bored of me and crawls away. Then about 1/2 hour later he comes to find me and we play again, etc.

[TRACY2]

Trolly

Melissa- for Andrew.

Chels- any more pics???

[blueyedgrl]

Trolly~ OMGosh!!! I am bug-phobic, so if I found those things in my house I think I would just leave & let them have the house!

Vanessa~ I hope things get better for you soon! We've been there, & it's no fun! Looking forward to your pics being posted - your kids are always such cuties!

Tracy~ Very cute pic of your kids!

Melissa~ Pssst...I'll tell you a secret. Men tend to exaggerate the neediness of kids!

[Friendship]

Emily- No kidding :-)
