Who could have guessed that a crusty ol' pyrite like me could have been seduced by such an innocent young girl like Melissa!

*** EDIT ***

By the way, Melissa's computer crashed recently and she lost all her email contacts so if anybody wants to connect with her I advise you to PM her your email addy.

LOL by the rolling of the eyes are you insinuating MJ was NOT innocent?? Ohhhh boy, you in trouble now =p. Nick and I use to keep in close contact, and I do know for a fact that he did finally graduate from University with his degree in Psychology...i think he may be out in your neck of the woods......thats where his parents moved anyway.... I will never forget the four of us and that whole "mario and luigi" thing....i swear i never laughed so hard...... good times my friend.....good times.

I will send MJ a pm with my email so she can keep me up to speed on thing..... <3

and if we buy that, you got some land off the coast of Kansas for sale, eh?

How you feeling, kiddo?

jimbo, I was (am) in the same boat as you; older dude, not really expecting to be a dad, et voila, mother nature let me know the true way of things. You know me, and you know how I think; I found this to be a very good book to read.

I would highly recommend it. Doubly highly, as you didn't even know what swaddling was.

heck, even I knew that, and I'm just a dumb hick from colorado.

I am sleepy all the darn time... LOL Thanks for asking Tim.

you just take care of yourself, little one.....jim's a capable guy, just inherently lazy. This is not a bad thing; it's a guy thing. Why else would we have an 'eject' button on the DVD remote? Still have to get up and walk over there and get the damn disk; but we can save a step by ejecting whilst sitting on our butts.

Like I said, a guy thing. But he's eminently capable. You just put your feet up and rest; that is the best thing you can do; having gone through 2 very difficult pregnancies (one with my wife, one with her best friend), I can firmly state that you need to take it easy, and let Jim handle damn near everything.

Melissa & Jim, was browsing through the "Canadian Group" and noticed that you were having trouble with finding a name...have you got it figured out yet? Because honestly, you are a bit early in the game to be so concerned about names--you don't even know if it's a boy or girl yet!! Plus, it's not good to get worked up in this stage of the pregnancy--or at least that's what they told me...

If you are feeling tired, go for a short walk and then take a nap--it always worked for me. That way I got in some exercise and wore myself out enough that I could actually get a nap in, instead of laying in bed thinking of all the things that I probably should be doing around the house, homework, or whatever else that kept me from getting some rest.

Also, yogurt is your friend!! Even if you don't like the stuff--if you can choke it down once or twice a day, you'll be glad you did. Loaded with calcium, helps keep your systems going like they should, and otherwise good for you...trust me on this one. Besides, there's only so many glasses of milk one person can choke down in a day! (And I LOVE milk! )

I'll try and give more tips as I think of them...I had one of those awful pregnancies, (high risk, "morning" sickness for 8.5 months) so anything that made my life easier is bound to do the same for you!

You are right about the DVD remote.

I am going to try and rest as much as I can but I do get a bit bored from time to time I can only sit for so long. I have been getting Jim to do the cooking of the meat and I say something and he's up an off before I finish the sentence.

Thanks for the tips.

The name thing was a joke a first and then we got serious. The names that we have come up with are Zoe Rhea and Liam Issac.

As for the milk I could drink 4L jug a day. And I do have yogurt as much as I think of it. I am trying to eat more veggies and fruit but I feel bloated as soon as I eat. So I try to eat lots of little meals instead of 3 normal meals.

As for sleeping I can just close my eyes and I'm gone. Then I wake up hot!! and I mean hot.

Thanks one and all and thanks for all the sound advice, especially you Tim.

My only two jobs are to pay the bills and make Melissa as comfortable as possible. She is the one with the tough job!

I would say you nailed it there, but that could be easily misconstrued, so instead I'll just say yup, that's correct.

how you feeling, melissa?
