So, so sweet. Have you named her yet? Or, did she come too early and you haven't decided yet.
-
Congrats to you and your family! Your new little one was less than an ounce heavier and an inch bigger than my little one who arrived at 38 weeks. So glad it went well for you, and I hope she snuggles in your arms soon.

That "They're Comin' to America" song that Neil Diamond sings.

Cute! I'm curious what the tattoo on her back says.

The quote I put in my high school yearbook was from John Denver - "Reach for the heavens and hope for the future, all that we can be, not what we are." I'm going to have to get out my LP's and sing along!

At that age I got my dd a doll house and every birthday and Christmas we added to it.

If your husband does mind, verbally reminding him is what I've done with my dh. My dh has been under a lot of stress at work lately too, so before he goes out the door, I run through the list with him - do you have your wallet, how about your cell phone, do you have your keys, anything else you need? My dh generally works from home, so he isn't going out the door on a daily basis. I think that's what's harder, because it isn't a routine.
Another idea is having a spot near where he goes out the door for the things he needs to take with him.

I have had a Miele canister for several years. We have mostly carpet. Two things I hate about it is the hair that I have to cut out of the beater bar often (two girls and no pets), and the expense of the bags. I recently replaced it with a Shark bagless vacuum for about $270. I wouldn't necessarily say it is the greatest vacuum, but I do like that it is bagless and so far has done a good job.

There's a local GI named Dr. Gross.
My mother's maiden name was Small, and my sister's mil's maiden name was Gross! We thought that was funny.

How did it go? I remember when my parents sold their house when I was almost 19, going to a community college and still living at home. They moved to a different city to a 1 bedroom apartment. You can use my story if they think they'll have it bad.

I made my kids watch it because I remembered it being so scary (in a fun way) when I was a kid.
My kids thought it was ultra-lame.
(LOL)
I remembered it as being scary too, but my kids also thought it was lame and were very disappointed in how it ended.

My plan is to make it nine more years.
We never liked our options of who would raise the kids if we died, so we just decided to make it until the youngest was 18. I'm happy to report that we made it! I know that was like burying our heads in the sand, so if you (general you) have some good options, I'd made it official. Even though the government says a person at 18 is an adult, they still have some maturing to do. If dh and I died now, we would still need someone to guide them through the process of what you do when your parents die. We're planning on making it at least another 10 years.

I decided to switch to a female doctor with my second pregnancy and chose her because of her name - Dr. Storck!

Praying today looks a little better for you. Sometimes the circumstances don't change, but God holds you up a little more.
-
I have no idea because I can't do that (yet), but I want to congratulate you on an awesome goal!

I think $20-$25 can be considered generous, but your poll doesn't reflect that. My kids have just entered the young adult stage, but still live at home.

Do you think it is possible if your son suggests that it could be unpaid internship that the employer might look at that as a good opportunity not to pay for his work? I would approach it as paid work and simply ask if payday is after the job is complete or if he gets paid sooner based on hours worked?

Be diligent whatever you do. Our next door neighbor had birds that eventually pecked through to her bathroom wall. I could see the birds flying in and out. This went on for several years as she just ignored it. I think the only thing she did was put an aluminum pie pan on the side of the house. Just this year she ended up doing a total bathroom remodel and putting new siding on her entire house. Get some professional advice if what you're doing doesn't work.

One thing I really miss moving away from Washington is the wonderful KCLS library system
I personally like Sno-Isle library system - I've never had to pay late fees.
-
Congratulations! I've been in a similar circumstance when my dad's home finally sold, so I can in some small way know how that feels.
-
Continuing to pray the cause is found and the treatment is effective.

Still praying with my WTM sisters for your son's healing.

Thanks for bumping this. Hope the surgery went well for Katie and look forward to her update. Praying she will make it through the rough stuff and back to smiling at the results soon.

We saw the original again when it was on TV last week. It still made me scream and jump out of my chair. So yes, I'm excited to see it, but no, I won't go to the theater. I'll wait for it to come out in DVD so I can keep my blanket handy to hide behind!

Do you still have your wedding dress?
in The Chat Board
Posted
It's hanging in the closet in a garment bag. I kept it because I thought someday my dd would want it for her wedding. When she was 13, I had her try it on, and you know, it just didn't look that special on her. I took pictures of her in my dress, but now I'm totally okay with her choosing the dress of her dreams one day. I still can't give it up, though. Not yet, anyway.
Edited to add: If my children don't want to use it, I'm thinking of being buried in it. I'm the bride of Christ, so I thought that might be appropriate.
