Finally! I can post and catch up on personals! LOL
Hi Melissa, hope you're having a good day so far. After the day I had yesterday, this one has got to be better!

My poor baby fell and broke one of her front teeth. I feel so sorry for her but according to the dentist there's nothing to do. I don't know about that. I'm going to call and get another opinion.

Geez, guess everyone is busy...or nobody loves me today.... :-)

Well, got on the scale and I am 7lbs up from my siggy, so hopefully that is water weight and will dissapear once I re-induct on Tuesday. Sarah, I can so simpathize with your one week "free" gain....it stinks. Makes me not look forward to the holiday season when I know I will get off track again...well, maybe I will do my best and hopefully make it thru the season okay.

We are heading to my parents tomorrow morning and will be back on Monday, but I'm sure I will hop on the PC once or twice while up there to check on you all :-) I'm all excited because my mother has a crib now so we dont' have to use the Pack and Play, she got it off of Freecycle, the crib was only used for a couple months before the couple decided they wanted to co-sleep with their child instead and got rid of their crib!!! It is one of those 3 in 1 or something like that cribs, turns into a toddler bed and then either a day bed or twin bed or something...I have no clue, but my mother is way to excited to have a baby section of the room!!! She also got a stroller, so we just have to bring ourselves, clothing, and a couple of toys for Hunter now!!!!

Chelle/Emily- I didn't take the Green Tea Pills last night and didn't have the reactions I had before so it must be them....I'll have to try taking them on an empty stomach starting on Tuesday I don't want to fool with them and be sick at my parents house.

Hey Kiwi!!! Day is going okay so far, most of my group doesn't come in until 10am so I normally get some work done in the morning...but for some reason I have absolutely no motivation......could be that I am dreaming of steamed clams, corn on the cob, etc, etc, etc. Oh no........(Elizabeth right?), I would get a second opinion, there might not be anything they can do, but at least you would have piece of mind. How did she do it? Hugs to you and her.....

Hey! Emily is my baby, but you were close! She's the one who's in love with Hunter's pictures. She was running in the living room and fell on the fireplace. I'm hurting for her but she's taking it better than I am.

Why, oh why did you mention corn on the cob!?! I'd love to have some of that tonight but I can't. I'm doing M/E for breakfast and lunch and meat with some veggie for dinner. It seems to be working okay. I've lost 7 pounds in 11 days. It's not fast but it's faster than nothing, which I was stuck at forever!

That is right, Emily, why was I thinking Elizabeth......I do remember her being the one that loves Hunter's pictures :-) Oh, poor thing, Andrew's mother has a fireplace and I am always freaking out (to myself that is) that Hunter will hurt himself on it.

Congratulations on the 7lbs in 11 days!! I don't think I've lost that much weight in such a short time period this time around......You are doing so, so well!!!

Just popping in really quick to say hello. We have a Gallup meeting in 10 minutes. Ugh.. a pep talk from our perky development leader then we have to take the stupid poll.

Anyways, probably will be somewhat AWOL today and this weekend. Going to leave early today so I have lots to do. Going to a baseball game with the in-laws tonight, then planning to go to Disney World tomorrow (we'll see how the weather cooperates). Rob's getting his stitches out today, too.

Ended up going to Lee Roy's for dinner (an Outback restaurant that has southern comfort food ~ awesome for non-low carbers). I got a chicken sandwich (w/ bacon and cheese) without the bun, greens, a salad, and a Miller Lite. Calories were high - 1576, and carbs were 15 net I think. And FIL tells them it's my birthday, so they sang for me and brought me ice cream. I let Rob and the in-laws have it. FIL couldn't understand why I wouldn't touch it.

Plan today:
B- hb egg
S- celery w/ cream cheese
L- tuna salad
D- at the stadium, maybe a protein burger or steak and shrooms from the Outback booth

Cals 1279, 7 net carbs

And I'm back to my siggy weight, so all that bloating is gone. Let's hope the scale keeps moving down!

And I forgot to tell you guys that the past two mornings, I've been awaken by "suck, suck, suck, suck..." Alison's perfecting her thumb sucking, and is either doing it in her sleep or wakes and sucks her thumb back to sleep. She's also an equal-opportunity sucker. She'll switch thumbs and even tries to do both at one time!

Hey Melissa and Kiwi!
Bekah fell back asleep so I have a chance to jump on here! Yeah!
Kiwi~Poor Emily.....how old is she? Gosh kids are so resilient....glad the dentist said it will be alright!
Melissa~Have a blast with you parents.....sounds like it will be a tasty time! LOL How wonderful that you don't have to schlepp stroller, pack and play etc. for your trip! All of the packing up and unpacking is the pits!

I am down another pound on the M/E thing; down 7 #'s in 3 days.....woohoo!
We even did a big salad last night with our turkey! But, no cheese or nuts for three days has really helped! But, i sure miss them.....sniff, sniff, pout....

My mom is coming today and she and Bekah and I are going to go shopping in Wichita.....gotta make a Sam's run! Getting low on diapers and chicken!

I'll jump on later......hello to all that follow!

ps.....I think I am ovulating and dh and I had "fun" last night......we'll see! All of the +'s around here have me jazzed up!

Cecilia

Also......Thinking and Praying for all of you in the southeast!!!! Please stay safe!

It's hard to type holding a 25 pound baby in your arms! Emily's sleeping on my shoulder and I'm typing with one finger. It's so s-l-o-w but if I put her down it'll wake her up.

Where is everybody today?

Hi Cecilia! Emily is 16 months old and I have a confession to make. I admit that this month I didn't try not to, if you know what I mean! I want Emily to have someone close to her age to play with since big sis is almost 18!

Hey Kiwi~
I'd love for Bekah to have a sibling......don't know if it will happen though. It took us 4 years to get Bekah and I'm not getting any younger! LOL
Maybe we will both get nice surprises!
I have been taking prenatals for the past 6 years......and I do double the folic acid and do a baby asprin too! LOL Just in case!
Cecilia

No, no complications just occasional twinges of pain. Hopefully they'll tell him the results of the tests they performed on the tissue they removed. They never called.

And Bekah is SO cute, hopefully she'll have a sibling soon!

All you mommies TTC!!!! I have my fingers crossed for all of you :-)

Hey Cecilia- I hear you on the run for groceries.....I need to get more food myself! It is so nice to have you back every once in awhile, we really missed you and your cute pictures of Bekah!!!

Kiwi- I'm not sure where everyone is....weird, slow day. I haven't started out a weekday thread in I don't remember how long.

Melissa - how's your ebay business going? I used to sell before I had Emily, then it seemed like after she was born I never had the time.

Yes, I am hoping Bekah will keep me young too! I had her a month after I turned 42! I was such a pup back then!

Dang, you three were chatty last night, Melissa!

Emily, HP is going to be released Saturday, July 16th. We pre-ordered, so won't be doing the midnight thing this year. We did it last time, but there was no baby then.

I'm SO excited AR is going to be re-run. Did you ever see the one with Chip & Kim? That was my fav. It will be neat to see the older ones. Phil.....

Thanks Melissa~I miss you all too! It just seems like there are a ton of posts by the time I usually get on here! Then it's overwhelming to try and play catch-up!
I can't believe Bekah is still sleeping.....8:50 here and she's just now starting to call out to me......I'm on the second set of clothes in the washer! LOL

Better go get a sippy and some milk!

Cecilia

Morning Girls!

I'm getting a late start this morning, but it looks like I'm not the only one.

Dar~ Glad you guys had a good dinner! My IL's do not understand the whole LC thing either... Thanks for the HP info ; I'll have to ask my sister if she's doing the midnight thing this year. I'm looking forward to TAR too; Chip & Kim, Chip & Kim.....trying to remember. Were they the couple that won & then broke up? I'm not good with the names, but that may have been one that I only saw some of the episodes.

Kiwi~ Oh, I'm so sorry about the tooth! I totally understand about the slow typing; 90% of the time that I'm posting on here, I'm doing so one-handed because Reilly's usually in my lap.

Cecilia~ Hope you guys are lucky this month; keeping fingers crossed for you! It took me 4 years to get Mackenzie & 3 for Reilly, so I'm not sure we'll have anymore.

Melissa~ Hope you have a safe & fun trip! Glad you figured out that it was the green tea making you sick; I hope you can work them out next week to not make you so !

Kiwi- My business is in a lull right now, I've gone thru my current supply and waiting for fall/winter clothing start going and I will list the 10 or so totes that I have. I really just want the business to bring in a couple hundred dollars a month so that I don't have to get a PT job outside of the home when Andrew gets a full time job.

Dar- Yeah, we were chatty....I'm still trying to figure out my issue though, I've been in and out of the bathroom and haven't had any green tea pills since yesterday morning...

Cecilia- Yup, we've been chatty lately!!!! But, just jump in and we will fill you in if you miss anything :-)

I've got a lot of baby clothes I thought about listing on ebay but now I'm thinking I should hang on to them, just in case! I have tons of books I need to list. I would like to bring in a few hundred a month too.

Guess I spoke too soon about the green tea. Maybe it has to work itself out of your system?

Emily- That is what I think it is doing.....good thing our office is quiet today.....

Kiwi- Yeah, if you are having another then you might want to hold on to that stuff :-)
We just went thru that debate ourselves. Since Hunter has moved into 24/2T stuff we are going to start to save only the "good" stuff and eBay the rest. The bigger the clothing the more totes it takes to store them and we just don't have that room. I've been trying to think of other things I could sell other than clothing, but I can never think of anything that would bring in a profit and not cost that much to get up front.

Hi Mommies- quite morning after having 11 pages yesterday- lol.

Katie- It was good to "see" you yesterday.

Becca- Great pics-your kids are adorable.

Melissa- Sorry about the weight gain. Heck I only cheated for 2 days and I gained 5 pounds!! Really makes you not want to cheat. I am going to "try" to be cheat free until my vacation in September.

Hi Kiwi (sherry?)- Sorry about the broken tooth-

Dar - Your dinner sounded good. Is your bday Monday?

Cecilia- love your new avator- how sweet Becca is.

Well after 3 days on the meat/egg fast I am actually down 6 pounds!! I have to change my stats- I am now at 201- - I am going "try" to stay on Meat/egg fast today- but I don't think I can do this much longer. I just really really want to see 199 or lower. I haven't been in onederland for probably 7 years!!

bbl -
