Want to say I think it's a beautiful and generous thing you did by adopting your niece!   Don't know hte story, but it's wonderful to see a family be there and help each other out. I hope this doesn't sound stupid, I just really think it's a fantastic thing, and that you should know that it's a beautiful thing (which you probably already know  ).

Ugh. People just need to learn how to stfu about a pregnant woman's belly size. It's never going to come across as a good comment to them. I get the lovely jaw dropped/wide eyed double takes, "Look at that belly!" type comments or get to listen to people have a conversation about how huge I am when I'm standing right there...  Apparently being pregnant gives people the right to talk shit right in front of you and you're not supposed to care or something...

That's when I say things like "yeah, almost as big as your nose is" or something along those lines. At least our big fat bellies go away once we have the baby....
;) Oh, was that my hormones talking?

Thank you so much for those kind words. She is a good kid and I couldn't imagine life without her. I was 16 when she was born and we have always been close. When it came down to us adopting her or her being putting in a foster home, it was an easy decision. It hasn't always been fun because she went through a lot before she came to live with us, but it's always been worth it.

I wish I was a fast thinker like that.   Even if I were, I'd probably be too chicken to say it.

Yout welcome.  

Ugh! What a way to start the day, the bridal shop I'm getting my dress and my bridesmaides dresses called me this morning to tell me my sister's dress had problems. The colors for my wedding are clover green and tea rose, I told my girls to get the top that they want, and I chose the bottom. The deal was that the dress would be the green and if there were any accent colors available for that design then it'd be the pink. So, my sister procrastinated (her fault) and everyone had chosen a top by the time she got around to it, and every top she liked someone else already had. I told her that if she wanted one of those then get it, I could care less as long as she's comfortable. She chose to get a different top, a basic strapless with lace over the top. The lace did not come in green or pink, so we went with white. Well the bridal shop called me today and said that the company who makes the dress said we can not get the top in green. Now she had the choice of white or pink top and white or cream lace. I said no that would look dumb to have a green bottom, pink top with white or cream lace, so now my sis has to choose another top! Ugh, I really don't want to hear her complain about it. I told Oscar that the next time we get married I'm just gonna tell everyone not to wear anything because I'm so annoyed! lol He said the next time we get married? haha.. didn't quite get the joke.

Quoting angiii02:“ I wish I was a fast thinker like that.   Even if I were, I'd probably be too chicken to say it.”

Well I normally wouldn't say things like that unprovoked, but I figure if they're stupid enough to say something that insensitive, then I can be "stupid" enough to say something back. They probably would just think that's normal.

haha. I know I shouldn't let have let it get to me, because he's just a ignorant jerk, but hormones! haha I feel better about it, just a little resentful.

Quoting MrsDye:“ I can't believe you're going to get a dog with a new baby, you're brave! Haha... when we got our dog, ... [snip!] ... cost money once you get them. And a lot of time...I am not looking forward to taking care of him right when Sophie gets here.”

we're trying to find a puppy that will be somewhat calm now, and wont be aggresive towards him... the only reason we couldnt get that dog is cuz the guy lived 31 miles away, and thats a bit too much gas money to be spending right now... hopefully when we find the right dog, it'll be a lot closer than that

i just got back from the pedi.... cedric is 10lb 5oz, 22 1/2 inches long, 15 1/4 in head circumference..... he was 7 lbs 13 oz, 21 3/4 inches long, 14 1/2 inch head circumference the last time we were at the pedi just a month ago... hes still so skinny, so it surprised me that he was over 10 lbs, but at the same time, ive been feeling the weight whenever i lift him lol.... he also got his shots today, hurt me to see him cry, but as soon as i picked him up when she was done, he calmed down, so i think it was harder on me than it was him... hes sleeping right now, im so not trying to wake him up cuz i know hes probably still in a lil pain and he needs the rest after that

This one pregnant lady, I don't remember where I heard this now, but anyways, someone was rubbing her belly so she started rubbing the other person's belly and said "ackward isn't it" LMAO I wish I had a good set of balls to do that to someone.
But I've been pretty lucky only family and good friends touch mine.

Aw-that sucks!! When we got married I had someone hand make all my bridesmaids dresses so I didn't have to worry about that, I made them and gave the lady a copy took my girls down had them measured and all. I think I got really anal when it came to the wedding though, b/c I made ALL my flowers, I would spend hours on the computer finding pictures of cakes, flowers, decor..I mean what goes in a wedding I had a HUGE book of print out and sketches. I'd take it to who ever was doing what and say this is what I want. lol

But my cousin (who's wedding I'm in this coming weekend) She told us all, I want u to have red dresses, you pick out what u want from there. lol So that was kind of cool.

I always thought it was neat to see how much Ethan would grow in a months time.

lol-So I have a funny Ethan story for you all:

Today Brian and Ethan were taking a shower,(Brian gives them to him b/c I can't do it anymore now that Im so big). Ethan loves showers, he won't take baths anymore. So anyways, Brian put Ethan in the shower and gave him a bath, and then when he is done he gets out (Brian) and gets dressed and lets Ethan play for a little bit. Well when he came back to get him he had taken' a big crap in the shower. LoL Brian was beside him self because he has never done that before. haha! IT was so funny I wish I had a camera to take a picture of Brian's face. LOL
