Baby is still ill (vomiting & diahhrea) so a trip to the doctor was necessary. The other baby is starting to act a bit cranky so it would appear that there will be two feeling puny. I'll be going to watch them at their house again tomorrow. Poor little ones.

Stayed compliant but it wasn't as easy as yesterday was.......there was left over pizza in their 'fridge and it kept calling to me. I even opened the 'fridge door and looked at it........but I walked away (how could I explain to them that I ate their pizza while I was sticking to my MF program??? LOL I couldn't explain that........so the pizza was safe and I stayed compliant. Pizza is one of my very favorite food groups. ).

Well, I'm tired so I'm going to go read today's posts and then go sink into my easy chair. Hope everyone did well today!

Congrats Tawanda for resisting the pizza - good job. I am so sorry that your grandbabies are under the weather. I hope they feel better soon.

My daugher is showing signs of imminent birth. The doc says she will have the baby before the end of the week (she is 80 percent effaced and is losing her plug) but her due date isn't until July 15th. I hope for her sake that she goes soon - but I know how it feels to have a doc say that and still be sitting there on and past your due date.

Hope you have a great night and things go well tomorrow with the grandbabies.

Sue, exciting about your daughter getting close to delivering. I cannot remember, is this your first g'child? Exciting times no matter if it is the first or 20th.

I immediately started some laundry when I got up this morning. For some reason the laundry & other chores still need to be done even if I'm not home much. Whatssup with that?! LOL

Weight this morning 165.5......these are new numbers that I've not seen since 1993.

It is a quiet morning on the boards....there were only 3 messages for me to read this morning. Guess most people are dragging this morning, too.

I'd better go get my supplements (and water) ready to take with me and see if the washing machine is done.

Hope everyone has a good day!

Congrats on the great numbers. SEE!!! You are closing in on me! It really would only bother me a little if we weighed the same but I would also be very happy for you. Glad to see that you are mentioning packing up your water! Have a great day!

Tawanda, that is awesome! I'm so happy for you...you have done a great job and an inspiration for me to get my butt back in gear.

Hi Biki and Kelli!

Just received a phone call that the second baby is ill now, too. First one is still vomiting & weak. Their daddy is taking a day off from work since they both want to be held and I'll be heading out of here as soon as I can get myself ready.

Poor little tykes.

WASH your hands after reading this.....the germs might becoming through the keyboard.

[SuzyQ66]

Tawanda - congratulations on entering territory you haven't been to in a while. That is so great.

I am sorry that now they both are ill. Isn't that the way it goes. It's so sad when the little ones become ill.

Yes this is my first grandbaby. Haven't gotten any calls yet that's it time. She isn't due til July 15th - and we all who have exeperience in this know that babies come when they are ready - unless you ask the doc to speed things along.

Have a great day Tawanda!!

Let's give a BIG shout out to Tawanda!!!
New territory. You, my dear, are a pillar of strength. Yes you are!

Ohh those poor little babies. How old are they? I forgot.
It should be better with 2 people there today eh?

take care of yourself t

Sorry about the babies! They are in my thoughts! Poor little things...

[Tawanda]

Hi, back home after a long day. Thanks for the well wishes for the babies....they are 10 months old so unable to verbalize how rotten they are feeling. They were limp in our arms for the majority of the day, but did rally a couple times to play with their toys. Heart wrenching to see them feel so puny. I would guess that I'll be going back to their house to help again tomorrow.

I have some chicken breasts baking in the oven right now, they are just getting cooked enough to begin having the good smells tantalizing me. HURRY UP STOVE!!

Yesterday and today I wore size 10 jeans!!! They are the stretch St. John's Bay classic jeans that I mentioned a week or more ago (when I was able to wear size 12). I do believe that these run large and they are stretch.......but 10 on the tag is one heck of a mood lifter. I was playing with the idea of heading into town one day to try on jeans to see what size, in other brands, that I am........but then I thought "I know these run big and I don't need to go find out that I'm still a 14"......size 10 on 165.5# is enough to know they are running big..... so I've decided to just leave well enough alone. Size 10 is the smallest jeans I have so the time will come within the next 4-5 weeks where I'll probably have to go shopping (oh darn! ) and then I'll find out that 14s are still tight...... . I'll deal with reality when it is time to deal with it.

Well, should go read more of what has been posted today and then look at my emails......

Hope everyone had a great day.....

[Lizabette]

WOW, TEE! Congrats on the size 10 jeans. WTG!
Hope the babies do better tomorrow. What would they do without Grammy?

I swear you just talk about that to taunt me!!! I bet I won't fit into size 10's until goal, which is why I think I am going to go lower to be satisfied. My middle section is still just hanging on to so much fat. I am a medium or small (when I am trying to look slutty) in tops but my bottom half is a major concern. Most of my 16's are loose and a few are tight. That probably means that if I looked hard enough I could find some 14's that fit me. But I don't want to put myself through that and like you, have decided to just let it be.

[KeleeGrl]

Woohoo..size 10. Good for you Tawanda. I'm still in a size 14 even though I keep playing with 5 pounds so I'm sure that you ARE really a 10. Way to go!

Biki, you know that I don't do it for that reason--and that I'm only telling (bragging? maybe so..... ) because I'm so thrilled. I do think of your feelings before I post about the size now, but I know that you are only teasing and are happy for me. Different brands are sized so differently.....if I tried on your 14s they would probably be very snug on me. I *know* I'm not truly a size 10 yet....but it sure feels nice to see that number on the tag right now.

My belly (waist and abdomen) are still big and the excess skin everywhere is not attractive. I know it will take some time for the skin to 'shrink' (as much as it will shrink at my age & with my saggy skin genetics). Right now, it isn't attractive and there won't be any possiblity of wearing clothes that might show a peek of belly, shirts will need to be longer so that when holding a baby or bag of groceries, the shirt will not be pulled up and exposing any saggy skin!

Kelli, good morning! Good to 'see' you back (I know I said that already....but it is good to see you back! ).

I haven't heard a report on the baby's yet and whether or not my help is needed today...but it is only 6:10 and they've been phoning about 6:30 so I'm going to catch up on reading emails and forum news while enjoying my coffee.

Weight still at 165.5 this morning. Tomorrow (Friday is the end of my 20th week. Saturday morning I'll take measurements again (I do it every 4 weeks). I'm eager to see how the measurements compare to 4 weeks ago.

g'day to everyone reading.

You're right I am kidding but still am envious!
