Nicole - Sorry you were late for work.  That stinks. :(  Not sure if I should be glad that the roads in MA are cleaner, or mad that those in NH aren't.  You're at the end of the first trimester, all of the tummy stuff should be letting up soon.  But, your immune system is 50% lowered (so that it won't attack the baby), so it makes sense that you're getting sick a lot.  I hope tomorrow's temp makes more sense. :)  Keep resting (or start resting)...

Simone - Thanks, that makes me feel better.  I looked it up on the internet, but we all know what contradicting results you can come up with that way..  Happy anniversary!  Hope you enjoy your date!  21 years is good, another 21 is even better. ;)  Yes, it is a record with divorces on either side of the family.  Oh, no, I hate it when I hear of doctors messing up their patients.  :(  I hope you find a better doctor, who can help find something that will work well for Ty.  Hopefully she hasn't done any damage.  ((HUGS))

Brie (almost called you Layla, lol), I know that we'll never understand how much Kasey meant to you - no one will.  I hear you on your hubby being mean about it, that's really tough.  DH does that too, sometimes.  He's being money-smart - that much is certain - but I guess he doesn't quite understand how much this other dog would mean to you.  Can you split the price with your friend, and she'll pay half of it permanently, while you pay her back the other half?  Maybe that would make your husband feel better...  I wish I could help, but it takes 4 shekels for one dollar, and we don't have that much to spare right now. ((HUGS))  Can you find the energy to have an open talk about it, no blaming involved?  He's right (yes, he is, I know it's not what you want to hear, but if you tell him that he's right, he won't be as defensive), but sometimes right isn't everything, especially in a situation like this.  ((HUGS))  Don't worry, we're here for you to rant whenever you need to.

Brie- Only time really helps with the loss of a family member like that. It is very difficult to lose a pet. I still think about one of the dogs we had when I was growing up. You will always have her memory to cherish. 

Amber- Oooh 12 weeks is just days away! 

Nicole- Ugh, I hate being late. Hope you got around safely!

Isra- KMFC for you!

Isra- Hahhaha, that's hilarious about the egg comparison. Thanks to Shimon you have a very good example. Oooh, catch that egg! I'm down with your plan. I would go for twins. One of each would be great.

AFM- Having hotflashes still, but not quite as bad. Been having some twinging pains on the L side. My appt is on Tuesday so I have a bit of a wait. DH turns 31 tomorrow. We will have to get in some BDing. 

Good morning ladies :)

I can't say enough every week, so glad it's Friday! I REALLY need this weekend to get the much deserved rest I've been deprived of since getting so sick 2 weeks ago. Yesterday was another really rough day. After calling the nurse for advice, I'm now off the Metamucil and Zofran because together they WERE bulking things up too much. I was recommended to take Vitamin B6 and Unisom for the nausea, along with Pepcid during the day if needed. But, I'm just trying to deal with it because that's NOT my biggest problem now. I'm on 100 mg. of Colace 3 times a day now to (hopefully) fix the main problem. I've been so frustruated because I can't seem to get to a happy medium. I am missing the Zofran because it's been so helpful controlling the nausea. The nurse thinks keeping up with the extra protein and fiber will be beneficial in the long run, again hopefully ;)

...Sending my Love and ((HUGS)) to you all ♥

Tara: Me too! I know, challenges left and right from the start. Yah, you would think huh ;) smell triggers and overall queasiness just don't want to let up :P Glad the hot flashes are simmering down a bit, and twinges are a good sign ;) Happy Birthday to your hubby! Sleep well and have a great dinner tonight :)
