Hi everyone,

Have a good and safe Wednesday.

Shape

Good morning everyone! Have a good day with plenty of sun!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You must be sooooo excited!!!!

Melinda....Now you can finally say, VISA IN HAND!!! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND TAREK!!! Time to put on those dancing shoes and rejoice!

Good Morning! Love the camel pics!!

Jeanne, where's my coffee??

congrats on another visa in hand!!!!

im up early...getting things ready to go to the zoo...my bros and sis are worthless, i could never count on them to do it !! lol...im exhausted, only 4 hours of sleep...im thinkin if i jump in the shower i may wake up a bit!!

Congrats Melinda & Tarek!!!

How about that OBAMA victory last night??!!!

Im still wondering what he plans to change.

Have fun at the zoo!!! We haven't been to the zoo in ages though my kids are older. The last time was two years ago I think and it was during Christmastime. They dress the whole zoo up in lights and it's so pretty! My favorite thing to see there is the flamingos.


Last night almost made a trip to the ER. Hubby was scared beyond belief. After 3 Aleve and a constant hot pack my left side was still in excruciating pain. I honestly thought I was having an ectopic pregnancy and my tubes were exploding or something but alhumdulilah the pain eventually subsided and I was able to get some sleep but this is like after 2 hours of me in tears from pain and I'm really not THAT big of a baby, ya know? I still feel twinging but nothing like last night. Scarey stuff I tell ya. I know I"m at super high risk for a tubal pregnancy now but hopefully that's not what that was.

Raining outside here today and it's very welcome. I love my girls and I do like watching their softball games but they're on different teams due to being on different leagues (majors vs. minors) this year so it's hard 'cause I only get to watch half of one game and a last half of the other. Hopefully all games will be cancelled tonight so we can have some nice quality time in the house for a change.

Hubby's hitting the pavement again today. We found out that he can use his SS receipt if they ask for his number so he started going door to door looking for work yesterday. Tomorrow he'll look in the city but he wanted to see if he could get something closeby first.

I hope everyone has a nice day today!

0h, Bridget! Do you think you need to get checked out? That pain does not sound like something you want to ignore.

Goodmorning everybody! Im sorry to hear that you were not feeling well Bridget. I hope you do not have another episode like that again.

MELINDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeahhhhhhhhhh for you and Tarek! I am so glad that he got his visa so tell us when is he coming? I remember the excitement!

Awwwww Kelly, you know we can only depend on ourselves. I hope you have a nice visit to the zoo today. We haven't been in a few years and we like to see the baby animals especially the little monkeys with the diapers on them.

Malek started blowing razzberries day before yesterday. Thanks to my sister!! She showed him one time and he caught onto it! It's his big thing now. He is always sticking his tongue out at you wanting to see yours. He started cereal a few weeks ago and you can only imagine when he blows his tongue what happens, LOL!!!!!!!!!!

We had terrible storms last night and today! A few tornado warnings and lots of water! Tomorrow it is supposed to be in the 90's. You just never know about Ohio weather!! (I want your sun Jeanne, but no heat ok? )

Have a good one!

Tasha

Tasha, Malek is so cute...I wanna jump into my pc and just squeeze him!

Congrats Melinda and Tarek!

Keep 'em coming Cairo! I love it when several visas get issued in one week - it makes you feel like they are actually working and being productive


Have fun at the zoo Kelly!


Bridget - I agree with Nagi. Please at least make a doctor's appointment to get it checked out. It could be so many things, from small to large, but you want to make sure it doesn't happen again. Believe me, you don't want to screw around with internal organs, the longer you let it slide the worse it gets.

nagi - if I get the pain again I will go to the dr immediately. I just read about it and apparently the pain can come and go if that is what it is. I kind of brushed it off this morning as a bad AF, since she showed up early yesterday but now I found out that even though you have the signs of AF it still could be a tubal pregnancy. I haven't tested at all since about three days ago and it was negative so I didn't really think too much about it until last night, though before that I did have all of the symptoms...nauseau, bloated, ...and other symptoms I won't get into.

Tasha LOL at the rasberries. My oldest sister taught my kids that and a LOT more throughout the years. Just gotta love aunties!!!!!

Totally OT but I remember she took them for like 4 hours one day when they were about 3 and 4 and in that time I went food shopping. Well I didn't know she was going food shopping as well for herself and I'm looking at soups and all I can here are these two young voices SCREAMING

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.............the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mountain, the bear went over the mounTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
NN..............to see what he could see...."

LOL sure enough it was my two lil munchkins standing in her carriage singing at the top of their lungs while she was shopping. I'll never forget that!

Bridget -
If I lived closer and had a prescription pad you would not need a doctor, I could fix you right up. But since I don’t I think you might need to see a doctor, in the mean time I will just co-diagnosis with your doctor, I will be on medline to check out your systems. Yes I did have biology in college, is there anything else one’s need to diagnosis, I think not.

good morning mena!

He's for rent at nigh

Happy Wednesday!

Good morning everyone
congratulations Melinda and Tarek I'm so happy for you

Happy hump day

Goodmorning all

I'm pretty much too lazy to respond individually but I will try a few:

Melinda CONGRATULATIONS how exciting! wow! when will he be here?

Kelly - have a blast. I love going to the zoo (as long as its a good one) its something fun to do when a lot of family is together. Hope its a great day for all of you!

Bridget - I also think you should see a doc, that just doesnt sound right and if it IS a tubal or something you really need to deal with it.

Tasha - that makes me laugh. Amirah tries and tries but she cant get it, her chin gets covered with drool and bubbles. We do it to her belly and neck a lot and I've noticed lately when I hold her she puts her face on my neck and I can feel her mouth and tongue moving around, I think she is trying to blow but she cant. It totally cracks me up.

Nagi - have a great day
Charles - TRY to behave
wheres Jackie this morning?


Everyone else, Olivia, GG, PB, tenderheart, Zee, AJ, JV, Noura....... have a great Hump Day!

Sara, I cannot believe that child is 7 months old already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good heavens I cant either. My son got all teary eyed the other day and told me, 'she's just growing up too fast.'

Good Morning, Sara! How's the pineapple girl?

Bridget, I still think you should not hesitate. Go get checked out. Better to be safe than sorry.

For the love of everything in this world that is good..Bridget, go see a doctor! That pain is NOT ok.
Do u have an appointment yet? If it is a tubal pregnancy, you sure don't wanna wait.

yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy melinda!!! mabrookulationsss!!!!!

hump day..i'm tired..don't see jackie.. where is jess..........zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
zz

Melinda I am so very happy for you

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii jackie..its about time u crawl outta bed!!!

awwwwwww I thought ya'll was ignoring me. Happy Hump Day! (remember, no camel teeth!) I am at work trying to look busy.

Tonight Lexy is coming over for a sleepover! (mommy/daddy time if ya get my drift ) Jessica really looks forward to her alone time with Jesse.

I am super concerned about Jess and ask you all to keep her in your thoughts til she comes back to us.

Jackie

Mee too Jax. She said she would be posting ASAP after the baby was born but it sure has been a long time. I sure wish we had her number...

does anyone live near her where they could go check on her???

Did somebody say................














CHANGE????
































Mabrookalations Melinda!!!!

Oh sorry it's hump day... guess I should post a camel pic....

I've been thinking about Jess too! I hope she is ok. It's been 5 days now she should be home by now.

I think I seen Nawal's babies in her profile. Not sure though.....

change

I guess.

you've been reading the polls again, haven't you?

That's weird......I emailed one of the nurses at the center where I had my surgery and she said I should be checked out, so I called my doctor's office and the message says, "if you are having a medical emergency, please dial 9-1-1".

duh.

Don't the messages usually say please press 0 and someone will be with you shortly? LOL. Just thought that was kind of strange. Anyhoo waiting for a call back. I HATE going in when I'm not in a lot of pain anymore but *apparently* you can have AF and still get an ectopic. Joy joy joy. I really was looking forward to getting work done and then going home and relaxing.

Wooohooooooooooo congratulations !!!! (Almost missed it 'cause I don't always read the daily thread ) When is he coming home ???



-MK

anyone thta hasnt look bring up the profile and u can see the twins picts

I am just dang happy my girl Jess is ok. whew....she almost scared me this time. We been online buds for many years. I remember when she was looking out her kitchen window in Lebanon and said to me 'Wow a really big ship with the American flag just pulled in..'

We all bit our nails as she was evacuated to Turkey, then returned to New York. In her quest to be with George, she has lived all over the world. I wish them all the best.

doods sure hope you are ok.

Jackie

GOOD DAY EVERYONE!! HOPE EVERYONE'S DAY IS GOING GOOD. WHAT A CRAPPY WEATHER DAY HERE AGAIN. MY ADOPTED GRANDBABY HAD SURGERY TODAY AND IS DOIN GOOD, MAMA IS A WRECK, BUT THEY WILL BOTH BE FINE.
