Hi

If I had good camel pics I'd post them but the only one I have is one of me ON the camel..the poor camel! He was a real ham for the camera though lol


Happy Wednesday everyone.

Does anyone really think that putting a camel cig hat on a real camel is funny?



anyway, happy hump day!

happy hump day all

I think putting a Camel hat on a camel is hilarious I was playing with Amal's camels in Texas. Matter of fact, Noor was playing with them too. Ahhh the memories.

I am off to measure a house then do paperwork at my desk til 3----then measure another house. Yahoo, then I am off for 2 days! No work til Saturday. (Time for another trip )

Have a great day.

Jaklen

need more coffee

Good morning everyone! Have a nice day.

Hugs,

Ayesha

second that

hey sweetie where u going this time? Save a date in June to come see me in NY Inshaa Allah.

hope everyone is having a good day. going to the drs tomorrow for another ultrasound, hopefully this dr gives pics too lol.

HAPPY HUMP DAY!!!!!

I so love the belly dancing camel

How in the world do you get so many ultrasounds?? My doctor did one for each of my boys when I was at 20 weeks! Craziness!

Happy Wednesday everyone - i'm at work catching up on my homework (oh yea did i mention I took the dive and started grad school??) and get some work done while the boss is away. Probably be addicted to VJ too!

If there is a suspected problem, it wouldn't be abnormal to get a few extra done early on to make sure it's a viable pregnancy. If you only had the 20 week one done, that was good news.

doodle: I'll share some of my coffee with you. Omar makes the best, although a little sweet for my liking. But I carry extra milk to take care of that.

MK: Once again you come through with the cutest pics. Thanks.

Jackie: Are you going to do any day trips during your days off or just relax? Next trip fly west and see Sarah and I.

Hollyw: Great pic. I was wondering what she was doing, but MBP cleared that up for me.

i had an ectopic in 2004 and unexplained infertility from 2001 on......also i have low progesterone so the drs want to make sure the baby is going to make it.

drs work different here too im noticing. my friend that is pregnant here gets ultrasounds at every visit, because the drs usually have them right in the exam room.


with my son in 2000 i got just a few ultrasounds in the first 25wks then i got some more at the end because of the size and such.

I was wondering that too! Isnt that many ultrasounds considered not good ? I get my first one tomorrow....im just hitting 12 weeks....and that is to only determine how far along i am.....

There are conflicting reports about whether too many ultrasounds are harmful...but a dr really isnt going to take the chance of doing them if they really are. most times u/s's are used for dating and complications so everyone that has only had limited ones, feel lucky that ure pregnancies are going or went very well.

yea jess...i guess ur right...inshallah everything goes well with you this time...

dont mean to be snappy. just stressed and worried and hormonal.

hi everybody hope everyone that was sick yesterday is feeling better. I leave for cairo sat to see my fiance sooooooo happy . Im trying not to pack too much this time. Any packing advice?
Gifts for the in-laws advice?

Jess I hope this pregnancy suprises you with its ease and lack of complications Im so happy for you

you were snappy? if so it was well hidden amongst all the other snappiness around here

congrats on the baby jess

Jess do you take progesterone supplements? I have low progesterone also and took supplements with both of my sons. I also had many ultrasounds with both. I had miscarriages before my sons - then we figured out the issue that the progesterone supplements seemed to resolve.



My son is now 6 months and extremely healthy. I had about 4-5 ultrasounds throughout the pregnancy.

Home sick again

musta been a heck of a credit card bill from claudeth's shopping trip

"...my humps my humps my humps, my lovely lady lumps...check it out......."

Every damn Wednesday this song is in my head.

J

Try sally the camel for a change!!

Doodle, did you ever make the Boston Red Sox hijab?

Thank you. yea i guess i felt a little snappy on the u/s thing, but my hormones are crazy wacky these days.....i am really hoping Inshaa Allah that everything really is going well, as i do feel it is deep down. Hopefully we will know more tomorrow.

If i were in the states seeing my doctor i would have been started on progesterone as soon as i got my positive result. i was on supplements for it when i was pregnant with my son, so i asked the dr about it and she never responded and then when we went to the lab ourself to test it (thank goodness we dont need lab sheets to have things done here ) and found out its boarderline now we tried calling the dr over and over even her cell and she didnt answer, so my husband said enough and made me an appointment with another dr that specializes in these things for tomorrow afternoon. We are waiting for a Lebanese-Canadian dr to come back from vacation the 20th and i will start seeing him possibly, unless we really feel great with this one we see tomorrow...As it looks i will be here in Saudi until Jan 12th at which time ill be 19wks pregnant and then i will fly to ny and stay there until after the baby is born, i will feel more comfy delivering in the same hospital with the same dr that i had before. Yes the seperation will suck, but we have to suck it up and think about whats best for our baby.

Thanks for all the congrats and i will update tomorrow after i get back from the dr.

Not to mention a belly dancing camel with CANKLES!!!!!!

I had one at 6 weeks to see the heartbeat and another at 20 weeks. But then I ended up getting gestational diabetes and our son developed an irregular heartbeat around the 30 week mark. So, I had one more done. The irregular heartbeat ended up correcting itself before he was ever born. And our boy is as healthy as can be!! Thank God!

My heart goes out to you because I remember worrying about every little thing. People tell you not to, but it's hard. Inshallah, the ultrasound will be good. I don't know if they can tell the sex yet at 12 weeks. Are you guys wanting to find out?

No because apparently it's illegal to sell Red Sox fabric if you're not the Red Sox and they don't sell any fabric. That's ok though...right now I don't want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sooooooo fed up with this team. Year after year after year they get my hopes up and then crush them like a squishy grape!!!!!!


I did buy pretty fabric though but I have a feeling it's going to sit in my closet for a while. I tried making one of the hijabs out of the fabric but I found out that my hands hurt like crazy when I try to sew. My mom has a sewing machine that she never uses so I might snag it from her someday. I really want to take sewing classes too. I mean there are sooooo many clothes that I love that look easy enough to make but I just don't know how to do the right looking stitches.

hey doodle.. you just reminded me.. Have you seen these new Flexi heat wraps.. esp for the wrist?
thermacare? i think.. it looks good.. I might get it for my wrist.. i get carpel tunnel flare ups

No I haven't but ice works better for me than heat. ALTHOUGH...my sister has a hot tub on her back deck and I soooo want one. Every superbowl sunday I go over there and we all sit in the hottub and watch the game!! When I'm in it I have no pain, but when I get out....ouch!!!

why is this site not letting upload a freaking candycorn avatar??!!!

HEEEEEEEEEEY easy on the cankles there!

"IIIfffffff you like my cankles....and you think they're sexy....come on baby, let me know!!!!!"

Sara maybe go get a pedicure? It will help with the cankles, it will feel really good, your feet will look fabulous while you are pushing the baby out and... they say that pedicure massages can bring on labor (although its a load of crap!!!!)

Good luck to you, I remember when I was at 37-38 weeks I was soooo anxious. I had our first son early so when this one came late I didnt know what to do with myself, I was just sure I would go early.

lol..
I was just looking at that stupid camel wondering why its head was facing the wrong direction..

Happy Hump Day!

As we waited our horses to ride, the group of camels stopped drink. This is one of my favorites.

have a great time during your trip, you must be so excited...i am planning on packing light too....i always roll my things...a little wrinkly (SP?) but I find I can pack more....I was thinking of getting some maple syrup made here in my State and pancake mix and making them some pancakes....good luck w/ur ideas....and have a great trip!!!!oh, how long are you going for??

Each time I went I brought:

Lindt's chocolate truffles
TONS of gum in different flavors for his sisters
A big bag of fresh grated romano cheese
toilet paper
sour gummy worms
anything with the name Boston in it
