They said 10 days after receiving my fiances passport back it should be returned corrected .....thats 2 days before valentines counting only working days. I just feel so very anxious. I swear I will have Post tramatic stress disorder once this is all through :(

I got laid off yesterday. Kinda freaking out, but at least for now I can have a little extra time with my baby.....

Im sorry sara ... That is such hard news... but when one door closes another will surely open :thumbs:

LOL...I swore I had post tramatic stress for a few months after my husband got here. I found myself doing some strange things that I would just sit and laugh at. It can mess with you I know. I keep praying they fix the error quickly for you.

Hmmmm......I would look into the legalities of this once the dust settles. The Family Leave Act is supposed to preserve your job or one similar within the same company and the fact that they waited a month after you came back looks VERY suspicious unless you know that something else is at play here. Meanwhile give that pumpkin lots of extra kisses!!! Maybe it's for a reason. ;)

To all of you guys....you know...i don't think ANY of us give ourselves the credit that we deserve. It takes a dang strong and determined person to be able to make it through this process--it is not for the weak. But keep in mind...that this time that we are spending fighting, waiting, crying....will only last but a short time compared to the ''rest of our lives'' of being happy. (did that just come out of MY mouth)...usually i am the one crying and never able to post b/c EVERYTHING makes me sad...hehe...but anyway...feeling a little positive the past few days and ready to endure --for now--next week...may be a different story..

But Bridget...hang in there honey...wow...i just realized you guys got married exactly one month after me...hehe...smile and HUGS

Very wise words. I read a quote today that a woman doesn't know how strong she is until she's dunked in hot tea...or something like that. Very true. Not that I'm not still crying but wise words. lol. Yes you, me, dillydally and olivia were married right around the same time. :luv: BTW your picture of you and your husband just made me cry. Such a beautiful couple you both make!!

I want to get married......

If I had to get in that dress I think I'd rather be single. No offense but I'd be hot as hell in that thing! :blink: Pretty though.

going in for my annual review. Since my eyes are red and puffy from blubberin' all day maybe they'll take pity on me. :innocent:

or maybe they'll think you're high :P:lol::whistle: B) JK!! Good luck!

bahahaha. No they know I'm sad today. :cry:

And *apparently* it's not totally business like to be shootin' spitballs off the top of your cube aiming at your cubbie neighbors...... :whistle: Other than that all went well! :thumbs::dancing::dancing:

*hugs for Bridget (F)

Yay! For Seria :dance:

And a little of both for sara. Maybe this time off is a blessing in disguise.

Had another OB appt today. Mr Moroccan Butterball is a whopping 7 lbs 10oz. He's pointed in the right direction, but the starting gate isnt open yet, so we wait. I go back in a week to be checked again, so hubby still has a shot at getting a baby on his birthday. Im soooooo ready.

Mom will be here in a couple of hours, uncle's funeral is Saturday, so we have alot to prepare. If Im afk, Im not in labor, just dealing w/that mess. On the bright side, she's bringng my bassinet today.

ETA: Couldnt get any pretty pics from the sono today to share :( Baby boy is just too big. But we'll know what he really looks like in a coupla weeks anyway.

Well baby doesnt really get the element of surprise this time. Unless I go into labor, or show signs of it, we're scheduled for c-section on the 18th. Its a load off my mind knowing the exact date, but Im still kinda hoping he wants to come out a little earlier. Im exhausted.

I was 2 1/2 weeks early with my first and then scheduled a section for my second and was 3 1/2 weeks early for her too so you JUST never know! ;)
