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!

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
