Jade, I know you are a woman, but for some reason I want to nickname you CatDaddy. It just rolls of the tongue. I digress, feel better soon.

VS pissed me off. I cannot even threaten to stop shopping with them because I would never follow through with that threat. So I think I will use a huge box and sent a lot of merchandise back.

Good morning all. (This probably should have been first.)

TY hug I am totally not a whiner and can tolerate a lot of pain, no biggie - but this is just odd. After the first minute of the procedure, I got a little squirmy and the doc said the first minute was the worst and if I made it through that I would be fine. Then I started to have cramping and feeling ucky...then when he was done, I started getting the ringing in my ears, dizzy, tunnel vision...and supposedly this is easier than the last procedure. The last procedure I felt nothing at all and was fine. It's weird.

I've never really been a fainter, but all the medical stuff for this pregnancy has been taking its toll on me it seems. The dye they use in the HSG can make you feel really yucky I hear! I am so sorry you felt bad during it.

For this appointment, I walked in to the room and there was literally a tank of liquid nitrogen with a gun attached to it. It had two settings - freeze and defrost. I am not making this sh*t up. Literally, a nitrogen tank on a dolly with some little plastic gun with interchangeable tips to freeze and thaw out my insides. EW!
Feel better soon! hug

I just got a package & tried on the Eva shorts first. anni wasn't kidding about them running big. The 4s are big on me. I need to return for a 2. Talk about vanity sizing. OMG More returns to send back. Facepalm
Sorry they didn't work out size wise, how did they work out length wise? I am looking for the same thing you are in shorts so I was waiting to hear if your found them long enough without being too long. Confused

Aww, ty hug I am feeling better today, just another month of "pelvic rest" at least. Poor hubby. At this rate he is probably deciding we are NEVER having another kid haha! What did VS do to make you so mad???

I wasn't in bikini shape before I had the baby Frown Definitely nowhere near it now, and i have SO SO SO many stretch marks, it's gross. I think a tankini may be the closest I ever get to a bikini again, and even that (at best) will probably be next summer.

The procedure wasn't pleasant, but it didn't hurt. Just a lot of cramping. I'm just really tired today...but it is Friday of my first week back to work too.


Oh - DD slept EIGHT AND A HALF HOURS!!!!! Then I had to wake her up to get her ready for daycare! I REALLLLLLLLLLLLY hope she sleeps like this tonight because I need some rest. She will not sleep more than 4 hours in her crib, but if I put her in her bouncy chair, she is zonked out now for 7 - 8 hours. Hooray!

So, I have been being pretty cranky and bitchy to DH lately. Last night after snapping at him for something completely stupid, I felt so bad. About 30 minutes later I apologized to him for being such a bitch, and he said "it's OK honey. I know you have a lot going on." If he AGREED with me, I must really be being terrible! Normally he would have said, "no, you aren't being that bad..." or "you're fine sweetheart. You're not a bitch." But nooooo, he AGREED with me. Not sure if it is being tired, the birth control or what, but I need to check myself I guess Frown Sadwalk

That's what I wear now, a tankini. DH says I'm just overly critical of myself but I don't like people seeing them. shake head

Congrats on your first full week back. I hope the baby sleeps 8 hours for you so you can get lots of rest and feel better from your procedure. hug

Sounds like you are just exhausted. Between baby and going back to work it has to of been a tough week for you both physically and emotionally. It's a good thing he is so understanding. You can always make things up to him later when you are rested. Wink

Be proud of your stretchmarks! At least that's how I console myself.

I just found the tut last night. I actually just found the girl recently, and was just browsing randomly through her videos.

My DH says the same thing about my body - I just know when I am and when I am not comfortable. I have a lot of weight to lose before I will be comfortable again. I'm not awkward in front of him as I know he *truly* does find me attractive, it's just parading around in front of other people that is SO not ok laugh out loud

Thanks - I am glad I made it through a whole week! Next week the daycare is closed on Monday so instead of finding a sitter, I am using the day as an excuse to stay home Smilie I scheduled a dental consult for Monday AM - my teeth are in BAD shape and I get to go find out exactly how much it is gonna cost to fix them. I know it is $10k+, but I HATE HATE HATE the dentist. Ugh. Good thing is most all of my issues are in the back of my mouth (that's what she said) so when I smile it's not like my teeth are throwing gang signs or something. Gosh, if someone I never met told me they needed $10k in dental work, I wouldn't imagine their teeth or smile looking like mine. I'd imagine some hillbilly missing teeth or something. So I had to clarify laugh out loud

Literally though, this has been an appointment that was 2 years + overdue, I just finally have the courage, insurance, and money to go. But I break down like a little kid at the dentist - they SCARE me!!

As far as hubby goes, he is wonderful. I just ordered him 2 cigar samplers with 15 new cigars so hopefully that makes up for my bitchiness a little when he gets them next week. Poor guy.

Does the gorgeous run small. That's a 34 c top so that would be a 32 d. I need a bigger size so that would equal 32 dd Faint, right? I so want to go get measured.
