    Re: he's in iraq

    Hey girl! I had HG with my son King, girl I went from from 145lbs to 98-lbs in 3weeks. I have just really been nauseous really bad. I only vomitted 3x, but that was because I was upset. But girl, I take my phenergan! Thats the only way I can get to sleep. I just saw the trailor for Tyler Perry's new movie.. "The Family That Preys" Girrrrllll it is going to be off the chain!! I think it comes out in Sept. I will definately be treating myself to a night at the movies then! I don't really go to the theater to much, tooooo exspensive!! My night time job is real cool and laid back. I get to rest and don't really do to much. I just hope I get put on salary soon, if I do then I will be giving my daytime job my 2wks notice. My daytime job I bust my ass at. I'm standing all day to, so that doesn't help, and I only get a 10 min break. I'm glad everything went ok with your tire, I laughed when you said you heard a rumbling I was like girl, them bubbleguts be killing me. I thought I was pose to be throwing up all the time, instead Im getting the reverse lol. So have you had any weird cravings yet? with my son i drank a gallon of choclate milk a day! no lie, that boy is so healthy and tall. Doesn't get sick much either, when he does, it's always a sore throat nothing else. I breast fed him though. So what were the pains you had? gas? i get some that feel like contrations sometimes. lol. I remember 1 time I was bout 7mos prego with King and I was in TJ Maxx shopping. I was doubled over in pain grabbing my stomach, this lady screams she's going into labor and calls 911, but in the end it was just really bad gas, how embarrasing but it was so funny. Well Ima be at work Im on air till 10 then I will probably still be here watching a play on the internet. Look forward to hearing from you again. Hope your day tomarrow is better than today

    Hey Shay! Sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner, I have been really busy lately. Yeah the movies are to expensive! I haven't gone to the movies in a while. I want to see the dark night and step brothers. Thats good with your night job you don't have to do to much, but it sucks your busting your ass all day with your first one, you must be so tired at the end of the day. Hopefully they'll put you on salary soon! Yeah being on your feet all day is hard enough while being pregnant, and you only get a 10 min. break, thats not good at all! Do you work 8 hours at your day job, because if you do you should at least be entitled to a 30 min. lunch too! I have some cravings I guess, nothing out of the ordinary though. Lately I want to drink chocolate milk. So today I bought a gallon of it, which won't last long! But I wouldn't say I crave anything wierd, how about you? Seeing as you drank a gallon of chocolate milk a day and your son is tall and healthy, I just may have to stick with drinking that! LOL. I think those pains I had was cause I was hungry and I was freaking out to with all those cars flying past me, it looked like a few were going to crash into me. Cause once I got home and ate I was good. Thats story at TJ Maxx is funny, thats embarassing! How was your weekend? Did you do anything good? I just hung out, caught up on my sleep, did laundry and helped my mom with some things. Hope your not working to hard!

    hey girl! naw i didn't do anything over the weekend. Just worked. my ma was in the hospital, she might have lung cancer. They found 3 black spots on her left lung, and she does'nt even smoke! But her bf do like a chimney! Girl tired doesn't even begin to describe it. You know I did not get any sleep from friday-sunday. Sunday night I finally got some rest. I had to leave my house at 545am sun to take my dad to Cherry Point(almost 3hrs away) to catch his mac-flight. He just comes for about 3-5wks to visit us over the summer. He is excited about my baby. I thought he was gonna be upset but he's not. He keeps thinking me and J will actually have a wedding and be legal. I keep hoping it will happen in a coupla years. Well babes I hope all is well with you! I will holla at you tomarrow. Shay

    OK so there is a funny story to the DH thing. It actually means Dear Husband but hubby thought it was short for *** head when he read one of my posts when I was pg with ava! lol DF= Dear Fiance DD= Dear Daughter DS= Dear Son and so on.

    That really sucks that you are both sick. I wounder why you havent heard anything yet. I am sure everything is fine. Take no news as good news. Yay on second trimester!! Wahoo!

    Re: he's in iraq

    I am so happy for you! girl i have been up since 4am went to the er at 5am appearently King and I have strep throat! thats why I have been so miserable. So the dr, was like rushing cus they were changing shifts and he wrote us prescriptions. I said how do you know what we have you didn't even do a throat culture and he replied that he seen enough to know what it looks like. I wasn't happy and I wasn't going to take my antibiotics(erythomycin- im allergic to pennicillan) so i called my ob dr and he said for me not to take it, he didn't know why that dr prescribed it for me and i am pregnant especially if he aint do a culture. So now I have to go in tomarrow and see my ob dr and get a culture done. Well friday i will be entering my 2cd trimester! i am so happy! The only reason I came into work was to talk to J but he hasn't been on yet. I might just go home early (@9 instead of 10) i don't think I could manage to stay in here. I do have a mask on though cus I don't want to spread it but i am miserable. King seem to be doing better than me. Congrats on the baby boy! make sure you tell bobby to change the diaper QUICKLY lil boys jus aim and shoot and will get your eye! lol love yas shay

    Re: he's in iraq

    Dang gurl that sucks! I am so sorry you are sick. Well if it makes you feel better I took tons of antiboitics with Ava. I had tons of UTIs I even broke out with this funny skin rash thing. SO it wont kill your baby! lol But for future reference if you have anything wrong then go to your ob not your regular dr so you dont get perscribed something that you cant take.  Yeah my bestfreind has a lil boy. I baught her a pee pee tent. It is so cute.

    I sent you a PM so hopefully you will get it. :)

    First and foremost, congradulations on your baby!!! My husband is Army, and we just got through a 15 month deployment to Iraq in October, he came home. I wasn't pregnant when he was gone, but I do have a 3 year old. I'm actually pregnant now. But just know that your husband loves you! And will be absolutely amazed when he sees you with your guys baby. That's one thing that my husband has always said kept him going when he was deployed, thinking what he's coming home to. Imagine what your husband must think! Coming home to a new baby! Just know that deployments aren't forever, and knowing he has you, and your child on the way, will definitally keep him going, and keep him strong. Good luck, and congrats again
