    I used plain soy milk and I didn't really taste the milk in it.

    He is better, but still not 100%.  We are still not sure what was wrong with him.  He was just miserable all weekend :-(  Thanks for asking!

  • Anna, I love that quote/school of thought it is great.

    Stephie, I have heard some people have tummy issues when they first incorporate them but it usually goes away.  I personally LOVE them with almond milk and you can get it at pretty much any store.  I get unsweetended vanilla but maybe get the regular vanilla to add some sweetness.

    Thanks ladies!!  It's so nice to share the news with someone.  I can believe it happened so quickly but I'm glad it did!  DH is so excited too.  He keeps asking me when we get to tell people.  He is also a little mad that the dr appointment is almost a month away.  He was hoping we could get an appointment within the next week or so.  He didn't get to experience the first 3 months of pregnancy with his daughter because the ex didn't tell him right away and so he is really excited.

    I was just thinking about the length because it's 3 weeks away.  It seems normal but I don't get why it's normal. 

    How did you tell your DH?

    It's because they normally can't pick up anything on a sono until about 6-8 weeks so they just wait until 8 weeks unless you're a high risk pregnancy. Meaning you've had miscarriages in the past, then they see you sooner.

     

    Summer, for someone that doesn't want babies right now you sure now a lot about them Wink  But what you said is correct.  DH understood but wants to move things along.  I told him this was a 9 month process so jsut sit back and enjoy the ride.

    I actually didn't get to tell him in any cute way.  I knew I wanted to take the test first thing in the morning so I woke up and went to the bathroom.  I left the test on top on the box on the bathroom counter and got back into bed with full intentions of getting up in a few minutes to check it but I fell back asleep and he woke up and went to the bathroom and saw the test.  I had gotten the digital ones and he saw it said pregnant so he actually asked me why I didn't wake him up to tell him.  I told him he just told me so I didn't know.  Then I took 2 more just in case.  LOL

    Oh, Ok!  Good to know.  I'm going to try again this week.  I need to use up my spinach anyway!  I could also try vanilla soy milk too I guess.

    This reminds me of a post on a nest board last week when a poster's DH saw positive on her OPK and thought it was a PG test and he was WAY excited...until she pointed out it wasn't a PG test.

  • Monday could be worse: A girl on the Health and Fitness board posted that she is driving her DH's car and as she was driving to work two mice ran out from under the driver's seat. I would have crashed or died if that happened to me.

    Dana,  YAY!!! congratulations!

    Stephie, I sometimes used almond milk, but mostly just used water.  It made it more fruity and less dairy for me.

    Leslie, sorry about both.  I totally agree about not posting negative relationship crap on FB.  However, the couples that constantly post to each other with "I Love You's" and "Thank You's" are just as annoying to me.  Um, don't you see each other every day?  To me saying it in person is so much more, uh, personable.  

     Julie, I LOVE lego's... and to have Harry Potter ones... awesome.

    FYI - for all the Rangers fans out there, or anyone looking for something fun to do tomorrow night.

    The Rangers are trying to set a record for the most people to wear sunglasses at night.  Reliant is handing out 30,000 sunglasses and they ask that everyone wear them for 10 minutes at the end of the 6th inning.  

     http://news.yahoo.com/s/ac/20110619/us_ac/8664869_texas_rangers_trying_for_sunglasses_world_record_1

     They said on the radio this morning that your name will go into the Guinness Book of World Records if they succeed.  Yay!

  • Oh, and I meant to add that we bought our ringbearer the Lego Hogwarts as our gift to him, and he loved it, it was so cute. P.S., I'm a Harry Potter nerd too. :)

    Are you resigning or just saying things need to change in order for you to stay?

    Jaymi - No I am not resigning... it is more a matter of fact I need to know where this is leading or I'm out.   In not so many words, of course.

  • Why doesn't Charlotte Russe carry half sizes in their shoes?  I find it so disappointing :-(  And I just got an e-mail with all their cute shoes in it, and I can't wear any of them because I am most definitely a half size :-(

  • Well, uh, I do have the Quidditch Pitch and some Lego Harry Potter people key chains.  Specifically Dobby, Harry and Hermione.  Big Smile

    Tiffany,

    I hope things work out for you.  There have been times when I have been miserable in my job but I stuck it out.  Sometimes though, you've stuck it out so much that you just can't do it any more.  

    Anna,

    Glad the first wedding went well!

    Natalie,

    I am about to go to Belk for the very first time and I will be checking out these Yellow Box flip flops you speak of.  

  • This is totally random, but I have made an amazing discovery.  TGIFriday's makes frozen meals - I've known this.  DH and I have them frequently for dinner.  You just toss it in the skillet and 15 minutes later, delicious easy dinner.  My discovery?  They make the same stuff, in individual sizes in a steamer bag.  And they're surprisingly not too high in calories.  I'm having one for lunch, and it is so delicious!

    I am too and have success with buying the larger size and then buying a special shoe pad that sticks to the heel of the shoe to take up space. The pad is soft and helps pad the heel. You could try that.

    Where do you buy the shoe pad thing?  Are they pretty comfortable to wear?

    I'm not sure!  I've only found them at Target, and they only had about 3 different kinds.  They're all meat/pasta/sauce meals.  Maybe they'll come out with more though!  Oh, and they have lots of frozen appetizers too - I've never looked in that section for the fried green beans, but they might be there (instead of with the full meals).  The little cafe in my office building makes those sometimes though, and they're so delicious.  It still counts as a veggie serving, right?
