I know I should have stayed away from the pregnant message board, but it seems I cannot resist. It is hard for me to see posts/comments on seemingly unnecessary inductions, and c-sections and not comment. It is absolutely mind boggling how many people blindly trust their doctors.

I have updated my journal! I thought the theme I chose was really pretty with my fav color of "purple" until I see that it has drawings of a hand in a jar, eyeballs in a jar, and a lizard in a jar.

Well, actually I weigh less now than when I became pregnant with my third, still the weight has got to go. So I will hopefully, stick to my diet plan tomorrow. The problem isn't so much eating less, it is what I am eating. I just snack all ( Read more... )

I just came across this LJ group called "Unsent Letters". The basic story of this group is to write letters you would never send. This got me thinking about a letter, that I wrote and  was debating whether or not it should remain unsent and I actually sent it. The letter was to my former best friend, and I sent it in Oct. 2006. The friend had ended ( Read more... )
