thanks hun.. i know i hope i tired him out so he can get used to the BORING next couple of weeks.. thanks again everybody..

so miss philly u take care of urself girl..if this has happend b4.. i pray that its just something ur body goes thru when u are preggers.. but like the ladies say, maybe it should be checked out..

Quanna I'm definitely going to get checked out in the AM Hubby is damn near trying to give me a pelvic exam LOL. I'm totally going to switch PCP's and GYN's start fresh for 2009. I deserve better care and trust me I have great insurance so I will be changing ASAP.

Philly, the thing I like about my PCP is that he has an assistant who can treat patients if he's not available. It's like having 2 doctors in one. She's available much more than he is, so I can often get a last minute appointment to see one or the other. You might look into a PCP with an assistant. Hope you feel better!

Thanks Nat that is a great suggestion, I am researching on my Insurance carrier's website now for alternatives

hey ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am back at work and let mi tell oonu bout mr roger's arrival.. it was just like i have seen him everyday.. its so natural w/ us we never feel like ppl that haven't seen each other in mnths. he said immigration went well.. he didn't get a hard time at all.. the 3 hr layover was good tho becuz he said it did take a good 1 1/2 hrs to get thru customs.. he rode the train to his next gate and still had an hour to spare.. he was glad he had a layover cuz by the time he got to dallas he just had to wait on his bags since he had already been thru customs in ATL

tuesday we had went grocery shopping which was nice to have somebody help me and then he noticed my mom and i had rigged my bed so he went to lowes (i thought of philly and home depot LOL) and got some tools to put it together properly.. and then we went to speedzone (go kart, mini golf and arcade)for a couple of hrs..

my fam and close friends had a lil get together at the house for him and he met everybody, he was nervous, but as i told him my mom is cool.. roger was quiet, but then again he always is.. he looked comfortable so thats what mattered.. he conversated w/ everyone.. it helped that he knew some of my friends already from our ja trip...

yesterday, we went by the job so he could meet my friends, then ice skating which was very HARD!!!! we were both sweating and had to take MANY breaks.. roger only went around once tho BUSTA, he been hollering about ice skating since i met him and he only go round ONCE!.. and i went twice then we walked around the mall.. and went to see the taking of pelham 123.. i was VERY tired.

as far as food, i made ya'll proud! i made eggs, bacon and toast both mornings and stir fry last night (he liked)..

fast food, he had long john silvers (too greasy) and taco bell (alright) and el regio's, this authentic mexican joint (alright)..

2night i am making pork chops, we'll see how he likes that..

we are enjoyin each other and working as a team, .i started w/ the dishes last night and he was like, baby u not gonna leave nothing for me to do.. (smile)..

as dara agreed, i recognize i have to stop going into this tour guide mode.. i fought my desire to take him to the lake last night.. its like quana.. the boy is gonna be here for mnths, u don't have to do everything the first week..

roger is speaking alot more patois w/ me.. lhe spoke more this last 3 days than he have in 2 years LOL i feel like all of u now, like i got a real jamaican mate

he said some lady was just staring at him yesterday.. (rolls eyes) its cool, i mean i know he gonna get attention.. i just hope he don't let it go to his head which he says it won't.. but we'll see.. i told him don't make me BUMBACLAAT his rass! LOL..

overall everyting CRISS!!

Awww Quana sounds like you guys are really having a wonderful time. LOL @ cooking pork chops for dinner tonight. Must be love cause it got you cooking breakfast and dinners!!!!

Tell hubby to stay away. I haven't caught up yet but I had similar experiences (everything turned out fine, I have 2 very healthy GIRLS) but before then my cousin and I (both preggers at the same time) had to have been seen at every hospital in Philly. If you can't get into see your PCP, go to the ER at least they will give you a sonogram right there. Don't tell them you haven't had your initial with your ob yet though tell them you have dr confirmation. She went and they didn't even see the implant yet only the sac, it was just a hair line on the screen but at least she was assured that even at that early of a stage there was nothing to be alarmed with even with the spotting.

Quana, Glad to hear things are going so well -

And tell him the slow talking Texans are not only noticed by Jamaicans - The rest of the US thinks you are slow too!

Ok so I'm caught up..and have a question for anyone that has been heavy (over 100 lbs and lost it)

So as you guys know I've been working out with this girl from work for past year and half. I'm more toned and lost 20lbs but it's been stalled since Nov last year. I've missed a few workouts if I take time off work and my two weeks of vacation last month. Anywho..I told my friend (the wanna be trainer) that I read that I may not be losing because when jogging I'm conditioning the heart and getting healthy but I'm not in a fatburn zone. From what I read I need to do something that keeps the heart rate steady (like a brisk walk) and not something where I'm gasping for air like I do with the 30 min run. She went off! Told me that I'm going backwards and I just don't want to work. Told me that if I would be consistent (ahhh hello a year and half is what I call consistentcy) the weight would come off. She refuse to speak to me now and told me to work out on my own (cool)

But my question is…….. who's right..

Wakey

Last year I lost a total of 60 lbs in approximately 3.5 mos and I did it by cutting all carbs eating only veggies and fish. I infused cardio by starting off with power walking 2 miles in the morning and then ramping up to jogging 2 miles. I also did "Taebo" and other forms of cardio and toning as well. IMO everyone's body is different and reacts to the diet change and exercise routines differently. Jogging is the answer for me where power walking may be the key to weight loss for you. Also I have learned through research that performing the same routine daily will remove you from the FATBURN ZONE as your muscles become accustomed to the workout and and you won't lose weight as quickly. So switching up the routine and keeping the workouts fresh is the key. With that said since she is not a professional I wouldn't put any stock in her comments. Puhlease sounds like someone is hating to me!

Congrats on the 20 lb weight loss that is great, its a struggle believe me I know don't get discouraged you're doing great! :thumbs:
