I'm having a baby tomorrow!

MrsCarroll.6-10-07 — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 21:12:25 GMT

I haven't been around much lately, but thought I'd let you know that tomorrow I should have a baby!! (I'm being induced at 5:30am - so hopefully by the end of the day I'll have the baby)

We don't know what it is going to be until he or she gets here...I'm 41 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I'm so ready to be done!!

If you could have us in your thoughts for an easy and smooth delivery that would be great. =)

Back at work. :-(

LeelaH — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:53:22 GMT

Hey ladies! Well after over 2 months off of work, I had to go back this week. And other than the ridiculous amount of money I'm paying, the transition to daycare was so much easier this time. I guess when it is your second baby and you know the people there you don't worry as much. I do miss my little man, though. He has been such an easy baby the past few weeks! He even started sleeping through the night last week!!! We got so lucky with Rylie being such a great sleeper, I didn't think I would get as lucky with Bryce, but he proved me wrong. Yay! So it really was a pleasure to be home with him. But I did learn that I could never be a SAHM, at least until the kids are older. I had Rylie home sick a couple of days and between the two of them, I was wore out! I honestly don't know how some of you do it!

The board has been slow again, so hopefully we can get it moving. What is everyone up to?

Shout-out

Pammmies — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:30:03 GMT

to Dr. Rivera and Dr. Patina at Kirkpatrick Veterinary Hospital on Michigan! I think Diane_BN rec'd them a while back, and they have always been kind to my Lady, but they were really helpful this weekend when we had to make an emergency visit. It's nice to find vets that seem to really care about my dog as much as I do. They were also very good with me, who was a total basketcase, and took the time to explain everything to me and answer all my questions. Everyone there is really nice and helpful, so I just wanted to pass my great experience on, in case anyone is looking for a vet.

MrsVictoriaB — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:20:01 GMT

I remembered you'd be close to delivery now so I went back to an old post and saw in your signature you delivered at 30 weeks. How are you and the baby doing? Were you able to have Dr.Peppy deliver you? I hope everything is going well. I used to work at WPH NICU so if that's where DS is he is in great hands!

Just another reason.....

Mrs.DMC — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 18:14:45 GMT

why the government should NOT being running healthcare. They are not looking out in the best interest of a patient.(note: I said running healthcare, yes...they should put some stipulations on the existing cost/criteria of heathcare) I DO NOT want the government dictating what healthcare is best for me or my loved ones.....

Every person I have ever known of that has been diagnosed with breast cancer has been in their 30's...the most recent 3 were my age(33). A government panel of experts feel there is no need for mammograms until you are over 50???????

I know this has been answered before but...

NewlyMrsM. — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:31:57 GMT

Hello ladies. Its almost the end of the year and I still haven't had my annual. I hadn't made the appointment because I wanted to switch from my regular OB to a OBGYN now that I'm a grown up married woman. lol

Please recommend your doctor. I'm looking for someone with a good reputation and group they belong to, also very friendly and down to earth and whose office is in downtown, east, or South Orlando. Also one that delivers at Winnie Palmer.

If you have any great experiences with your doctor please share. This doctor decision is big for me because I know one day he/she'll be delivering my future children and so I want someone that is a great fit for my husband and I.

Thanks in advance ladies:)

Hair Salon Near Clermont

KTtheWife — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:56:34 GMT

I haven't been on here in quite a while, but I really need a haircut and have no clue where I should go. I've been going to the same girl for half of my life, but her cuts just aren't that great anymore. Does anyone have any recommendations for a salon near Clermont/Winter Garden/Ocoee area? I'm hoping for a place that doesn't charge an insane amount ($60 for just a cut is a bit outrageous!). Thanks everyone!

Where to sell jewelry?

NorCalMrs. — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:14:20 GMT

I have my wedding ring from my first marriage still. It just sits in my jewelry box collecting dust. I'd love to make some money selling it, but have no idea where to do it. I'm not desperate for money, so I don't want to go the pawn shop route. Does anyone know of a reputable place that buys jewelry? I still have the receipt and an appraisal on it, so I know what it's worth retail.

I've looked into Ebay, but there are 95,000 engagement rings alone on there....and they aren't selling for much. I don't get it. Diamonds and gold don't lose their value, so someone has to be willing to buy it from me! I know I won't get full retail, but I'm just looking to get some extra money for it. Any advice?! Thanks ladies!
