Thanks Mega! We think he is pretty cute ourselves!! Actually I am not sure about when you decrease the amount of feedings, I hadn't even thought of that yet! LOL! I suppose he will tell me when he needs longer times between feeds. Hope you all have a great time at brunch you will have to post and let me know how it goes. Well Colton is screaming for the boobie buffet. TTFN!

HA ~boobie buffett......that's so freaking funny ROTFLMFAO. HAHAHA. I meant to say something to everyone else. Mommy~sorry AF was so terrible, but I'm really glad that a sense of "normalsy" (is that a word) has brought itself upon you! JSmith~ I hear ya about the "where does the time go with the kidos" it seems like they just grow and grow and grow. Kaleb is with my parents for a few days and last night I realized how much I missed him, and I called their house and he started crying b/c it's the first time he's been away from us. Broke my heart I tell ya. Nikki~ I hope your feeling well these days...and feeling very preggo. Baby~YAY! for milk and feeding baby.....honestly you don't decide when to reduce feedings....Colton will.....hehe. Mega~ looking now and I will let you know. Thank you for all your support girl friends!!!

Yeah Baby, that's hilarious, boobie buffett. I guess that's what mommies are at first. Well as well as cuddlers when they're not feeling well, diaper changers, etc...Funny phrasing though! Tenk--Cool! :) Mommy--Think you can join us? Did DH mention anything about last minute plans?

IT would be very cool if Mommy could come down too???? Oh, we were way down at the bottom of the page today.....where is everyone........Nikki, how ya feeling these days?

Mommy, anyone else that may be able to join us. Tenk & I are meeting at Encore Cafe at 11 AM Sat. in West Chester, OH, northern burb of Cincy. Mommy let me know if you decide to go & I'll give ya directions from Columbus, okay?!

Hello everyone!
Tenk, I am feeling much better these days. I have my bad moments but nothing like before. Hopefully I am getting past all of that :) Sorry I can't make it brunch with you all this weekend, but have a great time!!!!

Tenk, I will be unable to attend only because my car will be in the shop. My check engine light is on and has been for about a week and half now. It's running fine but I am scared and finally decided to get it in and I could only get it in on the 17th. If I get out early am because I am taking it in at 730am I'll come but for now I'm unable to attend. I am really bummed. I know you said something about being able to be here in June. If that's true I'll definitely attend. So sorry. Sorry to you too Mega. I'd love to see you "officially pregnant". LOL!! Love you ladies, talk to you soon. Must be a slave to the grind right now.

Mommy--Sorry you can't come Sat., but you're right to skip a long trip til it gets looked at. Hopefully they won't find anything major wrong on Sat. Even if you get out quickly, it takes a while to get to Cincy. Well we'll have to get together again then, so you can see me officially pg, & by then I'll be even bigger! And hopefully you'll be pg then too! We'll miss you Sat. Mommy, Nikki & JSmith & Baby (& Colton of course)! Nikki--Glad you're feeling better!

We're at the bottom again. Mommy ~sorry you can't join us, but you are correct I will be back in Cincy in June for about 5 days and we could do something then too. YAY! then Baby, Colton, Nikki and JSmith can come too....YAY! for plans! Mega ~sorry for changing the plans on ya, I know nothing about Cincy so I wasn't able to step up and say we have to go there. So many people to visit and so little time to do it. We'll figure it out tho. Nikki ~glad your feeling good.! Hi to everyone else! Oh ~Baby~ thanks for the pic of little Colton, I LOVE IT!!!

No problem Tenk. As you said we'll figure something out. I understand too about trying to cram so much in such a little time frame. Never enough time to see/do everything you want to.

you guys will have to let me know about the next cincy trip. i will be back to work by then so i will have to see with my schedule. *tear* chris and i had the what do you think about me going part time talk the other day. i just cant think of leaving him. but i have to work and i need the benefits. nikki glad you are feeling better, sounds like you are getting ready for that 2nd trimester glow! tenk no prob for the pic. he is so darn cute i cant resist. is that smirk on his face just too much!! looks like trouble!! ok i am posting and bfing at the same time so sorry for any errors. ttfn

Girls, I am freaking out and need some advice. You know that little mucus problem I was having? Well, it has been getting a little better but I just went to the restroom, and I actually got a little excited because there was not much at all BUT I saw a couple of small red areas that might be traces of blood! Does anyone know what this might be??? I am really scared,.

Nikki--You're talking about after a BM, correct? This is small traces of blood from your butt? Have you been straining a little bit when you poo? You probably have hemmoroids & that's the cause of the blood. One of the millions of little issues of pg that really are normal. I've have lots of butt bleeding episodes since my BFP, I've told both my RE & OB about it & they're not worried. Suggested upping my water intake. Mention it to your dr, just in case. But honestly, it's probably just the 'roids like I mentioned. Not fun, but very common. Hang in there!

Actually, it is small amounts mixed in witht he poo. There is none when I wipe. I woulsn't have really even known if I hadn't been looking so closely for the mucus. Can roids just cause small amts in the poo and not when you wipe or anything??

I believe so. I hope so b/c I get it both ways. At first I wipe all I get is blood, & quite a bit of it. Then I start getting poo mixed in with blood. So I'm thinking it's the roids, from what my drs' said.

You are talking to the ROIDS expert. It is from the roids. Sometimes if it is mixed with the poo it might be roids or a number of small things. Here's some reading material. Anal Fissure
Most people have experienced a tear or fissure at the corner of the mouth that can occur in cold weather or when yawning. Similarly, an anal fissure is a small tear in the lining of the anus, frequently caused by constipation. A hard, dry bowel movement results in a break in the tissue. However, fissures can also occur with severe bouts of diarrhea or inflammation. This results in the anus becoming dry and irritated, causing it to tear. Injury to the anal area during childbirth and abuse of laxatives may be other causes. A fissure can be quite painful during and immediately following bowel movements. This is because the anus and anal canal are ringed with muscles to control the passage of stool and to keep the anus tightly closed at other times. When those muscles expand, it stretches the fissure open. There may also be bleeding or itching with an anal fissure. Hemorrhoids are abnormally or markedly swollen or dilated veins and interlacing blood vessels or nerves, in and around the anis often complicated by inflammation, and the formation or presence of a blood clot within a blood vessel the condition is also commonly associated with anal bleeding.
External hemorrhoids are located below the the pointed conical projections on the anis and are covered by at least in its outer layers of small scale like cells.
Internal hemorrhoids are located above the pointed conical projections on the anis and are lined by rectal mucous membranes.
Hemorrhoids typically occur in the right front of the body, right hind part of the body, and side of the body and universally affect adults and children.
