So scary! I grew up in CT and most of my family still lives up that way. My dad is a truck driver and drove through Springfield about 15 minutes after the tornadoes touched down. I am so sorry for the people that are living with the aftermath of these storms!

I don't post too often, but I had to for this... That is AMAZING! I hope I can drop the weight like you have! I (so far) have gained 45-50 pounds and I am only 30 weeks! I have to lose the weight and get myself back in shape for the Army but I know it's gonna be hard. You should be so proud of...

Ditto to what everyone said about the ultrasounds not being entirely accurate. Of course, that being said, I'm hoping they've been accurate with me because I have been measuring exactly where I'm supposed to be each time (I had extra US's because I'm an idiot and fell down the stairs). I'm only...

I am a nurse, both in the civilian sector and in the Army Reserves. I'm also a full time Master's student and a soon to be mom

I could not get Petunia to accept pepper. Turns out, I did the intros all wrong! I kind of hung around after that and even though i don't post often, i am usually on every day or every few days

I think you mean the Challenge Acadamy. I think there is financial help for it but I am not sure.

8-10 weeks and 2-3 months are about the same age. Kittens are a handful but they are fun!

I drive a 2011 Kia Sorento. I love it, but my dream car is 1 of the new Camaro's. I absolutely love the new body design! With a baby on the way, a bf, his daughter, and a lab puppy it's really not feasible right now though.

I am so excited for you, Linda! I tend to agree that you are making this easier by adopting 2 kittens. They'll play with each other and not torment Abby as much. that it's less stressful than you are expecting!

I tried WW but I had a lot better luck with Sparkpeople.com-- and sparkpeople is free! I did WW for about 6 months. I am going to have to lose all of this baby weight quickly after it's born and I will go back to sparkpeople. We used to have a group on sparkpeople from the cat site, but it kind...

$3.14/gallon here at the cheaper stations! I spent $50 to fill my car up the other day when it was completely empty.

I absolutely LOVE my 2011 Kia Sorento! Gas mileage isn't the greatest (avg 18-19mpg), but I would guess that the Sportage would be much better. I was rearended in my Sorento a month after I got it and I never felt a thing. My insurance went down $60/month from my Subaru too. I love this CUV!

Thank you!

Thanks everyone! This definately was not planned lol. I have never even tried to get pregnant before (and didn't try all that hard not to become pregnant). I am about 6 weeks or so. Not very far along yet at all! I was visiting family last week so wasn't on here .

I haven't been around much because life has taken an unexpected turn for me... I found out last week that I am pregnant! I have been told multiple times that it wouldn't happen and obviously the MD's and NP were wrong lol. It's been an extremely busy year for me... I bought a house, joined the...
