Glad to hear that it all went well and the pics look great! It must have been a pleasant bonus to get to go back for a 2nd scan to get your pictures.

Yeah it really restores my faith in the goodness of people. I left in the morning not knowing if I'd even get the pics, then he rang me at work a few hours later and said to just come back in and get some later. My boss let me leave early, then I got there, he popped me straight on the table and printed me 11 different pictures and I was on the bus 10 minutes later. What a star.

Congrats greenlady! Always lovely to hear that scans went well and score with getting all the pics as well!

I am also team yellow!

Hivechild, I have never made fudge but all yours sound delicious! I tend to make various cookies and bars....finally found some packed brown sugar today in the English shop here in Basel as the don't sell it in the Swiss supermarkets, thankfully my OH is going to San Fran next week so I am sending him with a list of baking stuff I can't find here as well as some baby stuff!

Hi everyone! I am due March 6, 2010. (same birthday as me) It is a little girl! We are naming her Jordyn Elise. I already have a one year old little boy named Aiden Taylor. I am 21 and my husband is currently deployed to Iraq. Just looking to make some friends. Military life tends to get lonely.

greenlady, it sounds like you got a great sonographer. You hear so many complaints about jobs poorly done that it's nice to hear about the ones well done.

Heh, I have a friend in Belgium (originally from the US) who was lamenting that she couldn't even find chocolate chips to make proper chocolate chip cookies. I sent her a 'care package' for Christmas one year of baking supplies!

jm61504, hello and welcome!

Woot, finally home from work. I had planned on working up until baby is born, at the earliest go on leave a month before he is born since I won't be going back to the same job once he is here. Honestly, I don't know how much more I can take. I like my job, I enjoy working with people, I enjoy customer service work, and I enjoy educating customers and helping them solve their problems. I do NOT, however, enjoy all the politics of my job, and I don't enjoy being chronically understaffed, so that 4 people are expected to do the work of 8-12.

I just feel like the stress is hurting me and I know it isn't healthy for a pregnancy, plus my feet are starting to swell, I'm on my feet for 8 hours a day, and management won't let me take short breaks to sit down other than my two regular 15 minute breaks and my lunch each night. I really don't want a lot, just a couple minutes to sit down, catch my breath, cool off (its HOT in my building) and rest my feet. Why the hell do they absolutely refuse to be understanding? Sorry, ladies, I just had to rant. I'm feeling bad today and work just made it worse.

Hi everyone, sorry for slacking abit, have had a mental few days, feel free to read my journal for a bit more info!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weekend, will catch up on Tuesday, its our 1st wedding anniversary tommorow xx

Congratulations on your anniversary, bigbloomerz! I hope you have a wonderful time.

blondenklutzi, I admire you for persevering for as long as you have already under those conditions. I'd be having tantrums with HR if they weren't letting me sit and catch my breath for a couple minutes when I needed it. I hope you start feeling better now that you're home and can relax.

Hey ladies, it was my first wedding anniversary yesterday and today I have my development scan... I'm on team blue! Exciting exciting!!! xxx

Hi all, hope bumps doing well. Just to update you....we are on team PINK. Our Daughter is thrilled, as are we. Only 16 weeks to go, to meet Willow Rose.
