lol--junk in your trunk or ooze in your shoes? (x-post)

This was just posted on a message board that I check regularly, and oh my goodness I almost peed myself reading it. My poor baby was just squished by every laughing muscle I have, and my ribs hurt----lol 100% stolen from another site but hilarious. Alli is a new over-the-counter weight-loss pill which, predictably enough, has proven to be a massive best-seller from the moment it became available. The drug, manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline, reportedly works by blocking the absorption of excess fats by the body. And folks are waddling, not walking, to their local drug stores for a chance to start on the Alli "program." As is the case with most drugs, Alli comes with a risk of certain side effects. Or, as they're known on the company website, treatment effects. A person is reportedly limited to 15 grams of fat per meal, and if they go over (or even if they don't), there's a significant chance they'll find themselves out behind a shopping center somewhere,

wow, being pregnant and having friends obviously does not work!!

I'm feeling all blah tonight. My husband is gone for the night--more soccer stuff. He just called me and he's with two of his good guy friends at Buffalo Wild Wings having a good time watching the game--my mom and dad are in Dover, Delaware so I can't go hang out with them like a good daughter....and everyone else is otherwise occupied with their much cooler, less pregnant friends. I do mean everyone. I wouldn't just single out one or two. lol I just kinda feel stuck here and feeling like a loser. My own kids dont want to spend time with me. Its just me and the computer and this house, pretty much. I'm letting tweedle dee and tweedle dum play since they're being so sweet. But they made it very clear that even they don't want me interfering. When did I become yesterday's dirty socks?  Anyway, I do have better things to do than dwell on this--off to do some laundry-speaking of dirty socks--and clean the kitchen and maybe take a long shower to drown my craz

baby names

Well I said before that if this baby is a boy, its name would be Davin---Davey decided he doesn't really like that name very much and gave me a really good reason why, so I've decided that its okay NOT to use that name.... A little girl will be Ella or Ellie, and I'm keeping the name we've chosen for a boy kinda quiet except to close friends and relatives that I can trust not to say ugly things.... As far as my immediate family (mom dad siblings etc...) the baby will be Harry or Sue. lol I'm not telling them another thing because they've been so rude about it. Its my baby and if I want to name it Prudence or Darwin or Nancy or John or whatever,  I will! (I don't like those names, btw...lol) In other words....people need to keep their comments to themselves. just like with TRIP I will call my child what I want to, like it or not.

update today's ultrasound @ 24 weeks

I had a follow-up ultrasound at my appt today to check the baby's dilated kidneys I think I posted about in a previous blog....   Well, we didn't get a single good picture, because baby is head-down and face-down and refused to turn for us, so we could see either the face or the profile, so I didn't bother to ask for a picture. Also, the kidneys are dilated still, and a little more than last time but they said that it is not severe yet--and that they'll continue to do u/s at each appt to monitor it. Dr. said I'm in great shape, staying well hydrated and gained 15lbs. My bp was normal, and everything looked good! Baby's hb was 148bpm, and I forgot to ask how long he/she is and the weight...I can tell you this baby's grown a BUNCH tho!! I'm finally feeling those nice big kicks that give me crazy indigestion now. lol I'm trying not to worry...."Do not be anxious about anything..." I'm gonna have to write that on some index cards and
