After hearing what you all think in regards to posting photos on the forums, we have modified the rules and ask that everyone familiarize yourself so that the site continues to remain friendly for everyone, including new members. In an effort to be respectful of all members of the site, we ask that members do not post more than ONE photo or video per person in the weekly, monthly and information forums. Your ONE picture should be small in size as well. Any large photos will be deleted. You are welcome to post as many pictures as you would like in the photo books, which were created for the purpose of sharing and viewing photos. You may also post as many blogs as you would like with photos in them. We understand that many members enjoy posting and viewing pictures on the forums, but this is not where they belong. We must keep the pictures on the boards to a minimum so that the written comments can continued to be written and read. Otherwise, the numerous amounts of large pictures squash the messages and they become missed. We ask that this modification be respected, therefore any member that continues to post numerous pictures a day will be deleted from the site. Thank you all for helping us keep the site friendly and welcoming for all members.
Dirk - Friday, 5 December Message to all: In the last 2 years you all posted 1.1 million photos to the site, and that needs a little maintenance. We are currently renaming all photos from the personal photobooks in order to speed up the site. Some, or all your photos may not show while we are working on the photobooks. You don't have to do anything. We hope to have all photos sorted in about 24 hours from now. You can upload new photos to your photobook while the computer is working on your other photos. Thanks for reading.

melanie rae - Friday, 12 September Hey, sorry its been so long since i've wrote. We made it through Gustave but are now bracing for Ike which will probably give us alot of flooding and fast winds. I will update once all this is over. My computer at home crashed so that's being worked on as well. I'll be glad when things get back to normal. I like the name, Lauren. Lauren Hope sounds cute to me, but any middle name will sound good with Lauren. Let me know what you decide.
Natalie2 - Wednesday, 10 September Glad your back!! Ya know, I reallyyy like Sarah Lauren. As a 1st and middle name together! What does ur hubby think? I haven't had bad back pain, just the usual uncomfortable-ness, but I have a killer cold and sinus infection. Can't taste anything, have no appetite, itchy watery eyes...its just horrible. Oh, I also like the name Laurel. It's close to Lauren.
reneaj - Wednesday, 10 September I know. time is going by so fast., its great lol. but nope i dont know what im having yet. my ultrasound is on sept 23 so im anxxiously awaiting it.
reneaj - Wednesday, 3 September we are due the same day :P
melanie rae - Monday, 1 September Hey! I'm pretty set on the name, Sophie Madison. I'm even calling her by her name now.. it fits! We are preparing for Hurricane Gustave at the moment. It's expected to hit first thing in the morning in New Orleans so we should start feeling some repucussions around noon time... ouch! Hope all is well. Once everything blows over, I will email. Congrats on having a girl! I think Sarah is cute!
There is a baby boom in Ireland this year and it's all down to the likes of me who are late getting started. Best of luck for a happy healthy pregnancy.
Natalie2 - Friday, 29 August I know of a girl named "Serra", and I think that is original. Tell your hubby when he can do more than donate sperm, he can name a child. Let me know how you like that spelling. My hubby named his little sister Susan, and that was ALWAYS the name I wanted for a little girl, so now our daughter is named Susan also, and he gets a kick out of that. (although we call her Toni). So it's neat to let the kids name the baby. Now, MY child named a toy lizard "Crown and Coke" while on vacation with my mom, so she WILL NOT be naming this one!
Natalie2 - Wednesday, 27 August I told my hubby bout your issue with names and your hubby's response to them and he laughed. I also love the name Tatum. I have a niece named that, not thinking bout crack head Tatum O'neil. Also liked Lindsay. I liked Hillary alot til Clinton rolled around. Valli is cute. Gah, I love girl names! Ya know, Josie is short for Josephine, if you happen to have any of those in your family. Addy is cute for Addison. Emerson is nice. ohh, Emily and Emerson. Like that!
Natalie2 - Tuesday, 26 August Good luck and keep me posted! Here are a few I liked....Josie, Kate, Garrow( rhymes with sparrow), Edie, Jayne, ,,guess I really do like old names!
Natalie2 - Sunday, 24 August Ok, to deal with the husband and the name issue, you need to give him some really BAD names to choose from..like old family names..say Gertie for Gertrude.Just don't choose to mess with him using a family name of his, bc it may belong to a favorite aunt and he won't mind calling a baby "little Rosie".
melanie rae - Sunday, 24 August Thanks! I am so excited that it's a girl too! That's too funny about your daughter being upset if she doens't have a baby sister. Hopefully it will be a girl too. Most little girls want a sister and boys want a brother. I know mine did but when I told them it was a little girl, they just smiled and of course they have adapted.. hee hee! We'll see how well they adapt when she gets here. lol
Natalie2 - Sunday, 24 August Congratulations on the baby girl!! I bet your daughter is excited!! And you get to use your baby stuff! Any names yet?
Natalie2 - Monday, 18 August HI there! Been getting old kid clothes ready to re-sell and that has been such a pain. Have been neglecting this site for a while. I am totally loosing my memory and have been having nightmares about the Chupakabra. Baby formerly know as "it" has started to move quite often especially at night when I am eating snack #7 in bed. I am counting down the weeks until Disney and hitting the treadmill 3x week so all the walking doesn't throw my body into shock. How are you?
melanie rae - Saturday, 16 August Well you just never know and it certainly doesn't hurt to take precautions.
melanie rae - Tuesday, 12 August Sounds like you'll have something fun to do while they're riding. I would love to go back to Disney but of course, we will wait awhile for that. I took my kids last weekend to a waterpark/theme park out of town and I wanted so bad to ride them roller coasters and other rides, but all I could do was just watch them have fun.. hee hee
Natalie2 - Friday, 8 August Hey, when are you going to Disney World? I was nosey and read it on your comments. I took our daughter with my hubbys fam back in January...he didn't get to go, and we are going back in September for 7 days. My 3 yr old still talks about it.
melanie rae - Thursday, 7 August Hey, I go next week on the 13th again to hopefully see what he/she is. We went to Disney World last year in June for about 8 days. We had a blast! I'll have to plan to go again when the baby is old enough to enjoy it. Ya'll will have so much fun.
melanie rae - Wednesday, 6 August lol.. well at least if its a boy, he can have someone teach him the ropes. I want to know too so I can be prepared for myself. Just so many things to get done before then. The last 4 months of the year fly by so fast for me because I have most of my family's birthdays during that time and then we have 3 holidays coming so I stay broke..lol.. then with the little one coming, that's more $$ I have to have to prepare for him/her so I need to know.. lol
Natalie2 - Wednesday, 6 August Now the child wants her hair highlighted. Oy. Thank God the new baby is gunna be a boy! The tech kept toying with me, saying, he's it's brain, kidneys, etc,etc, and I finally told her PLEAE tell me the damn sex before my heart explodes! I had drank a whole Mellow Yellow to pump caffieine in it, so it wouldn't keep it's legs crossed. But it seemed to jive me up. more.
melanie rae - Monday, 4 August I'm the same way with decorating. I have all these great ideas in my head but when it comes to actually picking something out and putting it into place, I take forever! No, I haven't found out the sex yet. I go back on the 13th and hopefully this little rascal will cooperate. Last time he had his hand down there covering it up so it must be a boy...lol because he was playing with it, but then in another shot, the legs kept closed so my b/f was like "its a good girl".. so who knows. Did you find out what you are having yet?
