I like the liquid ~ everyone thought I was crazy but it worked for me. No, it doesn't taste great, but it worked and that's what counts. mele, you're on the road uphill now healthwise!! You will feel better with your surgery. And I'll be praying for you!

I would be happy to see what I could dig up for you if you don't like the ideas the dr. gave you. Let me know. I care about you and want to help you in whatever way you need. Also, about your surgery - in the last 2 years 2 women I work with have had to have total hysterectomies. I was totally worried for both of them. One especially cause she's one of my best girlfriends. She's like a big sister to me. Anyway, she is so happy she had did it. She's like herself again and she couldn't be better. Hang in there sweetie. We all love you and are thinking about you. Even me.....even if you did kick me off of the LP island.

Fun project.

Originally Posted By LVBelle ARRRGGGG!!! I have been so upset all afternoon, I have to vent. See, I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding in two weeks. Back when she asked me, we joked about me being the pregnant bridesmaid, I orderded my dress a little big "just in case," and wouldn't you know it, I'm preggo. So after my fainting spell I called her to reassure her that I'd be fine for the wedding but I did request that there be a chair in the front row in case I needed to sit. She said, OK, and I thought things were fine. So last weekend we go for the dress fitting and we talk a bit more about it. Things seem OK. My family was in town for her shower so we ran around all day then hung out that night. By the time night rolled around, I was exhausted and my contacts were killing me so I took them out. I closed my eyes because I was tired of the fuzziness and, of course, I fell asleep. Well, now she's flipping out thinking I won't be able to be in the wedding. She called me after my doctor's appointment on Tuesday which caught me off guard and we talked about it again and I again reassured her that I would be fine. I thought the matter was settled (again). Well, apparently I didn't sound confident enough on the phone because her dad called my mom today and left a message about it. So my mom called me and I got all upset and cried 'cause that's what I do now, my hormones are insane (yup, crying as I type!!!). So my mom talked to my uncle and told him that I was fine but mentioned that my feelings were a bit hurt. So my uncle just called me and, before I could plea my case (with confidence this time!) he asked that we go to lunch tomorrow. Why can people just not believe me that I'm OK? I do want a chair handy but I really don't think I would even use it. I just like having a back up plan. In the worst case scenario, I would just sneak down and sit for a minute if I felt light headed and get back up at an opportune time. No one will even be watching me anyway, my cousin is gorgeous in her gown. I'm just so frustrated and tired of being hormonal and I don't want to cry at lunch tomorrow but it's probably inevitable.

This is the best time of your life ~ you are EXPECTING! How beautiful you must be in your dress! And I'm a person that likes back up plans, too. Don't apologize for it; hey, you just might need a chair, that's all. So what's the big deal. You can vent here all you want ~ with me you get someone sticking up for you! :þ

When cops arrived , they found McConaughey dancing around in the buff and playing bongo drums. The drug charges against McConaughey were eventually dropped, though the star did plead guilty to violating Austins noise ordinance, for which he paid a $50 fine. While I like the idea of him dancing around nekkid while playing bongo drums, I just can't get into the drug part. Oh, well, life goes on...

Originally Posted By LVBelle Well, it happened. I was bullied into stepping out of the wedding.

Not because I can't but because I don't wanna deal with all of this nonsense anymore. My cousin and uncle are offering to buy me a new dress for the wedding and to still involve me somehow but I can't say it didn't hurt the way it all happened. I pretty much spent all morning crying but I'm trying to handle this all gracefully so that my cousin still has the wedding of her dreams. On the bright side, I told my husband that I wanted to go shopping for the baby so we went and got a crib, changing table, and dresser plus a new table for our dining area and a locking cabinet for our DVDS, CDs, and gaming systems so the rugrat won't get into it all. I'm happy to say that the retail therapy worked and I was even able to talk to my cousin over the phone without crying. And this way I'll be able to spend more time with my family who will be in town instead of messing with getting my hair done and doing the bridesmaid stuff.

Heavenly days, let her have her old stuffy wedding; she can't even include you, her cousin?? That stinks. But you know what? You will probably have way more fun anyway. Who wants to participate in a wedding where the bride is all me, me, me. If she can't accept you pregnant and all in her wedding, then so be it. Well, LVBelle, that just makes me mad. Bless your heart. I still think you are better off, like you said, to enjoy the time with family and let them ooooo and aaahhh over your pregnancy.
