Shelley, I don't know what to say. I know nothing at all about this topic, its crazy because all women just assume they can have babies and then they try and nothing. At least you are finding this out before you started trying, now it will not be years of trying before you figure it out and know what to do. I say do a lot of research, as much as possible and talk to different doctors. There has to be something they can do about it, I am doubting its impossible for you to have a baby. So, take a deep breath, try to relax and when it all sinks in, start searching for options. There has to be options for you. I really believe that you will have a baby, you just need to figure out how.

Mel, did you have your sandwich today? Also, I put this in the exercise thread, but I wanted to post here as well, I was so happy this morning. I have a pair of dress pants that 2 weeks ago were too tight on me to wear, they were not comfortable at all. Well, for some reason this morning I decided to torture myself and I put them on. All I have to say is I am wearing them now and they are actually a little roomy. I am so happy. I think I actually did a little dance in them. lol

Quote: Originally Posted by LisaG Awesome - Do you feel like it's getting easier? Well, she makes it harder every class, a lot harder, so its hard to tell. I can do more push ups now that is for sure. And I think I can run longer without getting as tired, but she seriously makes every class a little worse than the last, so its hard to feel like I am getting better. BUT, this morning I put on pants that were tight on me 2 weeks ago (they did up, but did not feel comfortable) and I am wearing them now and they feel great, kinda roomy. So, its working for sure.

Quote: Originally Posted by beachbride has anyone gotten any of these? did you decide Julie? All the ones I really liked were too expensive. I already spent so much on other things for them. I think they have decided they want to wear their shoes now though because they got really cute ones with a tiny heel. So, I am glad I did not spend the money. Although I am sure they would have warn them and not the shoes if I did get them. Sorry, that was a long answer for NO.

That is going to be killer, you are going to hurt for a few days from that, but it will feel sooo good to get through it.

Quote: Originally Posted by LisaG Boot camp was awesome!! I'm so freakin sore today!! We are doing "the hill" Thursday...yikes! That is awesome, I am so glad you liked it. Hurting is good, its a good hurt. what is "the hill" it sounds scary. lol

The seller I used told me she had lots of them, so I can't imagine she is sold out. Did you try emailing the person at the email address that Angela posted above?

They are all from the same seller on ebay. Shop eBay Canada Store - closet affair boutique:: New Arrivals, Satin Shell Clutch Other girls on here have bought from this seller and they all love their purses.

I know it is far ahead, but I would like to at least get a place picked soon... Our travel agent narrowed it down to three places: Occidental Grand Papagayo Premier Fiesta Resort & Spa Allegro Papagayo I took a long look on tripadvisor.com and was immediately turned off the Occidental & Allegro...which leaves me with the Premier. However, Hilton is taking over the Premier and renovating soon. Word is that the 2009 prices are going to be higher. It is already at the top of the budget...so this is not good news! So now I am thinking - should I choose somewhere else (i.e. give up on Costa Rica?). Should I settle on a different resort that I have a bad feeling about? Should I try to plan for Fall 2008 instead so I can get the good 2008 pricing? We thought everyone would be most willing to travel for our wedding in Feb...since it will be the nastiest time of year here in Ottawa and far enough away from Christmas... Also I wanted to avoid the "green season"... Ahhh, I don't know what to do! Any suggestions? Am I missing any other nice all-inclusive resorts in CR? Thanks in advance!! Those are the resorts that my TA reccomended as well. We were going to go with Premiere as well, and then decided against CR because we could not fly direct in Oct and had to go to the US first. Is there anyway you can do a site visit at the other 2 places? Can you fit it into the budget? If so, I think you should do that for sure. When Hilton takes over Premiere its going to sky rocket the prices. What about Panama? That was our second choice, but in October the flights only left on Monday's and we did not want our guests to have to take an extra day off work. Look into it, we really wanted it to be there. We finally decided on Cuba due to prices and flight times and dates and I love Cuba, been there twice, but never to Holguin which is where we are going. Maybe one of the CR brides on here can help you with other resorts in CR. Good luck.

Quote: Originally Posted by Raeka Hmm really? Cuz I feel really down lately.. even J is noticing something is up. OK I'm going to have a tuna sandiwich tomorrow. Yummy. I am not making it up, it totally causes depression, look it up. Withdrawl is bad, but lack of carbs is bad as well. Talk to someone on Atkins or another no carb diet, they are cranky and sad and not the same person they used to be. So, don't be that person cause you will end up unhappy and probably fighting with J before the wedding. Make sure you still have some of the things you love, just in moderation and be good 90% of the time, but leave yourself room to "cheat". That way you will be successful.

Mel, eat carbs at 1 meal tomorrow. You will not feel depressed or deprived or anything because it will make you feel better. Trust me, eating no carbs is not a good way to go, especailly if depressed, carb deprivation can cause that, eliminating something completely from your diet that you used to eat causes withdrawl and depression. So, don't do it. Eat some carbs tomorrow. You better bring your camera, I can't wait to see the pics.

BTW, I checked out my computer and as far as I can tell, no DVD burner. Although by the time they made it to you in Canada you would probably already be in Cuba. Promise, I will work out tomorrow, I can't be lazy again! No worries Jill, I was pretty sure I would not get them on time anyway. I am making myself work out anyway, only 26 days, so I will get my butt working out no matter what. Alright, I am holding you to tomorrow. You better work out or you will feel my wrath!!!

Quote: Originally Posted by Raeka I've been avoiding carbs all together now though except that dinner night where I ended up eating bread I think this diet is depressing me! I do not think its good to avoid all carbs, it just makes you want them more and you will end up binging. We need carbs, they are not the enemy. Just cut down and choose whole wheat instead of white. Do not deprive yourself Mel, you are going to set yourself up for defeat if you cut out anything altogether. I want you too look amazing in your dress, this is why I am helping you. Have carbs at only 1 meal a day instead of all of them.

Quote: Originally Posted by Raeka I've been craving carbs so bad lately.. all i could think about was PIZZA today and how good that would be. Instead I cooked some chilli. This is so hard Do not deny yourself pizza, just have 1 piece, no more, with some salad or something. And don't put extra cheese or lots of meat on it, load on the veggies and make it thin crust and whole wheat crust if they have it. Pizza is not that bad, just do not eat lots of it.

Quote: Originally Posted by jilly76 LOL, yes we both have to work extra hard tomorrow! Um Jill, its not too late, you should work out now. Just do it!! You leave in 20 days, you can be lazy after the wedding. WORK OUT NOW JILL!!! I just got home from boot camp. It did not rain on us, yay. It was super hard tonight though. Lisa, how was your boot camp?

Quote: Originally Posted by foxytv I voted for #4 b/c I think it goes best with your dress. My dress has champagne too but the purse I got isn't the same shade ... so I'd be afraid of trying to match the sash color. I am a little worried about that. So I am thinking either pink or ivory. But my shoes are white, so white would work as well. lol How about you guys pick the colour for me and I will pick the purse design.

Quote: Originally Posted by Wisco4 The poll doesn't match the pictures..or am I going crazy. I pick the second one! It matches, the second one is champange, is that the one you mean?

Quote: Originally Posted by Hopels I picked #2. If the champagne matches your dress sash, I'd say go with that one. That being said, I also love #4! Where did you find it? Ebay, a few other girls got their purses from this vendor and the love them, Shelley, Ann and Jill, so I thought I would check them out. Don't do it unless you plan on buying a purse. lol eBay.ca: CRYSTAL CHAMPAGNE PLEATED SATIN PROM EVENING BAG CLUTCH (item 250166818843 end time 25-Sep-07 23:04:54 EDT)

Quote: Originally Posted by cheese_diva It's the same vendor. I just looked at your old post and the seller was pafasus.. that's the same person I bought from. Maybe they switch around? Huh, that is crazy, but that might help the other bride who is looking for this info, look up Sunlit on ebay and see what you can find.
