hmm the green looks yellow, but I am sure those were green orchids

Tammy's bouquet was beautiful

yes my kids are crazy about stuff like that. The last two weeks of school they have been driving me crazy because I had a sub and they were e-mailing and sending me messages on facebook telling me to come back. They graduate tomorrow and if I haven't gone into labor and feel okay I might go because I love my kids.

oh Karma that is going to look great on you! I love it.

I have moved your thread, as it didn't need to be in the JA section. The JA section tends to be a very busy section and we need to keep it as organized as possible.

yes well I have a huge family too, but there are always people that can't go.

I am going to assume since you have question marks after your date and place you haven't booked yet, which means your guests are just saying sure we'll go, I promise you they won't all go. Now as for finding a place close by but still far away, that is what I did and most of the younger people and drinkers stayed in the hotel we had and the older people drove home it worked out really well for my family so that the grandparents could still come but didn't have to travel, it also worked well for my cousins who have small children, most of them got hotel rooms and the kids went and changed and also could go to bed early. either way its your wedding you have to do what you want to do no matter what people tell you.

okay another thought, when your DH kisses you, then have him kiss your belly, make sure the photog knows this is coming and takes a couple of shots of it. I think that shot alone will be enough to give to Noah when he is older-he will appreciate it. I have a photo of me kissing my step-sisters belly at my wedding and its something that we all have framed, my dad has it at work, its just one of those memories we will never forget.

I think the goodbye tummy one is cute and it still works even after the baby is born...I say go for that one its really funny and cute!

I just find it weird that we don't know anything about him, yet we know tons about the other guys.

Martha didn't you just move this year too, wow that's a lot going on for you. My students are AP level seniors, I had to tell them when I was 7 weeks pregnant because they noticed my blood vessel in my eye that was crazy red from throwing up. They notice everything.

pictures are up-oh and they just melt my little heart (and wallet)

oh this just breaks my heart-Tammy should we mention BDW or you in the donation?

yes it does feel like gas bubbles at first Lisa, I bet that was your little one moving. I don't think the leaking happens that early for all women.

I like the first one, its similar to the baby annoucement saying I am going to use.

Martha, I don't know if you plan on trying for other children (I know this baby is a miracle for you) but if I was baby #2 and my parents sand ceremony was sitting there with a color for my brother but not for me I would feel weird-but then again I was an only child so I don't really get the dynamics of siblings. I love the idea of the slideshow or the bracelet, I agree a locket would be too small for a sono picture.

oh no I cannot pump every hour, classes are 90 minutes long. I spoke with our only female principal and asked her to arrange my schedule so I can pump, but most likely it won't happen...so I will have to teach for at least 3 hours straight at some point which sucks. I will see when I get my schedule but most likely I will pump a lot over the summer and use the frozen stuff for the most part...I don't know what will happen, but I have had anxiety about it for months now.

oh and this is random but did anyone watch the first hour this past week? They showed all the boys in their homes and did a little thing about them, but never showed Graham at home or doing anything else, what is that all about-and who does he play b-ball for?

I think that Graham is the one she is crying about next time, I think she finally realizes that he is a non committal type of guy, because after she walks whomever to the limo she is crying saying she thinks she made a mistake. She is obviously attracted to jerks, look at Brad... Jason is a sweetheart and I think this is the first time he has put himself out there after his divorce.

I cannot imagine what will happen next school year when I am actually producing milk, imagine explaining to my 18 year olds why my shirt has wet spots around my boobies.

I wake up starving too Martha. Colustrom is the initial stuff that comes out of your boobs before you have milk, most people don't get it until the baby is born, but some of us lucky girls leak before baby is born.

well it didn't work and it was cloudy so I didn't get to see it, did anyone see if the moon really looked bigger?

you would be irritable too if you had to watch thousands of 8th graders on their school trips climbing all over stuff...believe me even when I take friends and family around town I get annoyed. Sorry you had a bad experience but this is the world we live in.
