Hey! My name is Krystle and I am 22 years old. I found out I was pregnant on October 8. My boyfriend and I have a loving home together with two sweet cats Sadie and Zeus, and we're both extremly fun loving! Although we don't know what lies ahead of us, we are looking forward to embarking on this journey together! I am due on June 11, 2008 and it couldn't come any sooner!




Wednesday, 10 Oct
So I am 5 weeks today. Only symptoms are bein very tired, nausea after eating (which im eating all salty foods!!), and I swear I can cry at the drop of a pin! I feel like I have already gained so much weight. Zach is still really nervous which brings me down. I know as it goes on he will accept it though. He told me he will support me through the whole thing. He thinks we're too young which I do agree but hey, what happened happened. He is 25 and I am 22. I know its not too young, but we're big travelers! Guess that will have to go on hold!

I had my first appointment today!! They confirmed I was pregnant through the urine test, then she checked the position of my uterus and said it was faced towards the back and engorged a bit which was both good since that means things are progressing well, and she also took blood test to make sure the numbers are all correct since my first pregnancy didnt go all that well. I am so excited!! I came home and Zach just didn't seem to care. That really hurts. I know he would never leave me or anything, but he's just so uninterested in this whole thing. He is 25 and still acts like he is 15. I just feel like I wanna move back to Chicago and start my life over sometimes. UGHHH. Im stressed now.

So, I had to go back to the doctor today because I had some bleeding last night. I called the night nurse and she called me back and told me it was probaly ok but had the doctor call me. He called and told me also that is was probaly ok but they wanted me to get in the next day to get an ultrasound. So this morning I got one done! They saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac in there and said it looked like a normal early pregnancy. My hcg levels were in the mid 8,000's and my progesterone level was sorta low so they decided to put me on prometruim which is a progesterone supplement. So i hope this will do it! Zach called me the whole time since he couldnt make it with me. I think he felt bad. Ugh, finally hes understanding!

Saturday, 3 Nov
so i have only awesome updates for my page!! ok, last week we went in for the ultrasound again and we found a hearbeat which was good but, i was still bleeding and the heartbeat was only 120. so she was real concerned and this week she did another ultrasound and the heartbeat was 153 which was perfect! zach walked in right when we found it (he was late) and he was so overwhelmed by it! it was awesome to see how interested he was in the baby. he was pointing out the head and all the lims and watching the babys hearbeat. it was so amazing! my doctor told me im finally out of high risk and im a normal preggo mommy now! i havent bleed since last thursday too which is amazing! i love this little baby already so much. its such a surreal feeling to know that theres a baby growing in me right now. its weird in a way. yet so cool! im so jolly feeling! haha. plus all the christmas stuff is starting to come out in stores and this only makes me happier. i love christmas soooo much! ahh! :)

Thursday, 15 Nov
10 weeks today! im so excited to be in the double digits already! ive been feeling so tired lately. tired and moody. sometimes i wanna eat everything and sometimes i just dont want anything. im driving myself crazy with worry nowadays! i know that at my next appt on the 28th they said they probaly wouldnt do another u/s but i really, really want one for peace of mind! especially since the beginning of my pregnancy was bleeding and all that bad stuff. ive just gotta stop worrying!! in other news, i feel so fat right now! my clothes are at that snug point where everytime i sit i have to unbutton my pants in order to feel comfy. i dont know what to wear yet!i feel like im already showing. ughhh. see you next week!

Sunday, 18 Nov


Sunday, 18 Nov
so i had to finally post my ultrasound pic from 8 weeks. i know its late but i was real excited about it! we thought of some really good baby names lately! for a boy we like dylan or noah and a girl we like and i love madison! although the boy names may change, the girl name definitly isnt!



Thursday, 29 Nov
so yesterday I went to the doctor for my 12 week check up!! all went great! i had to go to the coordinator first since i hadn't done that yet, then afterwards they did a very thorough exam of me and bloodwork, and they used to doppler to hear the heartbeat! its in the 160s she said. thats such a sigh of relief. im feeling a lot better as of 12 weeks. its so weird how normal i feel now. i also got an overwhelming urge to eat and keep eating yesterday even after i finished dinner. uh oh! here comes eating for two! im really trying to keep up the fiber supplements and have also started on a dha supplement for my baby. my doctor gave me a huge bag of stuff to take home and it had a book and a magazine and samples of everything! it was so nice! im stressed about my insurance as of now though. i fell under full time this year for my job, so come march 31 when they renew my insurance, i think they are going to drop me! if they do i am royally screwed. so im going to have to get that all straightened out right away. scary stuff! hope everyone is doing great! not long now til the fun stuff starts, like showing and feeling movements! we're gonna be mommies!! :D oh, ps- i lost 6 lbs when i felt like i gained 10!! weird, huh? no complaints here though.


Saturday, 1 Dec
ugh, yesterday and today i feel nauseated. i knew all that talking about not having morning sickness would get back to me somehow. ugh!! at least im hungry though. im actually cooking stuffed mushrooms at 9 in the morning!! yea, a bit weird, huh?

Monday, 3 Dec
i ate like a BEAST today at olive garden!!! i had 3 bowls of salad, ravioli (all of it), and a million breadsticks!! my co-worker was like 'damn, you NEVER eat that much!'. she knows im preggo, she just thought it was funny that i was eating so much! i cannot help myself though. especially at olive garden, its a pregnant womans paradise. all you can eat salad thats REALLY good? YEA!! i sound so fat talking about it, but it really made my day to eat there. haha, im going to look back on this and just laugh at myself. i sound ridiculous!!

Wednesday, 19 Dec
15 weeks already! i cant believe 10 weeks has already past since my first post on here! time goes by way too fast. and christmas is only 6 days away! ive been feeling better lately. really hungry all the time. but my digestive system is just about non existant! i have been constipated for about a week now and my doctor put me on miralax and it hasnt done anything yet but give me gas! im patiently waiting for it to kick in! i also do not think im showing yet although a pair of my jeans that fit last week do not anymore!! depressing! i dont see a baby bump! i see me being bloated. yuck. my next appt is the day after christmas, so getting to hear the heartbeat will be the best christmas gift ever! i love hearing it. its such an amazing feeling. still so surreal!! have a good christmas!

Wednesday, 26 Dec
so I had my 16 week checkup today and all went well! the second the dr put the doppler on my stomach we heard the heartbeat! 157 bpm! what a champ! :) he said i looked good and my pressure that i am feeling is completely normal as long as i dont have bleeding. i gained my 6 lbs back that i lost at last appt! haha, i knew that one was coming though. ive eaten so much lately! christmas was great! we got our little `bean ` as we call him/her a bunch of stuff! zach and i had a wonderful christmas and i had an even better one with my family! they `re amazing. zach bought me the best thing ever. well two awesome things, one is a maternity pillow by "leach" called grow to sleep i think, and he also got me a $400 isqueeze from brookstone. no swollen feet for me!! so anyways, in 2 weeks i get my ultrasound!! i cant believe 2 weeks already!! ahhhhh! boy or girl time! its so soon! january 9th at 4pm! wish me luck :)

Wednesday, 2 Jan

17 weeks! one more week til my ultrasound and i get to find out if its a boy or girl. everyone around me including myself thinks its a boy, and only two people think its a girl! im honestly going to have the same reaction either way. im gonna wanna jump off the ultrasound table and just jump around in excitement! haha. today i got my AFP test done at my doc. can you believe in just 1 week i gained 3 pounds?? ugh. i need to lay off the food! ive also been battling a horrible cold. my throats been hoarse for a few days now and no one can understand me. my voice gives out midway through talking! yuck. i think i felt a movement the other day, too!! i dont know though. it could have been gas but it felt a bit different. i hurried up and put zachs hand on it and he said he felt it real quick, too! then it stopped. if it was though it was amazing and i cant wait for more!!

Thursday, 10 Jan

yesterday i had my 18 week checkup. 18 weeks already! we found out that im having a GIRL!!!! i know i kept saying i was hoping for a boy but the second i heard girl my face just lit up! and she is so big! her spine was perfect. and they checked her heart which had all 4 chambers, her kidneys, her bladder, her brain, her fingers and bones. it was great! the placenta is up top which is perfectly away from the cervix! we saw her swallowing and sucking her thumb for a split second. it was too cute! we have a ton of pics from it, too! zach took me afterwards to dinner and then we went baby girl shopping! then we saw a movie and i felt my baby girl moving the whole time! i know its her now because the exact spot where i feel her move is where the u/s tech put the wand thing. so it isnt my digestive system after all! we showed my parents real quick too and they were both ecstatic! zachs an only child so his mom was super excited (i think because she never had a girl before)! after the ultrasound i felt like i wanted to tell the world. i felt so proud. nothing could have prepared me for how that moment made me feel. i am totally in love with this baby already! i dont think i can fully comprehend the fact that the big baby on the u/s screen is actually in my stomach. i love it!!

Thursday, 24 Jan

20 weeks!! halfway point already! i had my checkup today. all is well. in the words of the doctor `totally normal ` pregnancy. good to hear. he said that im feeling movement down low because thats where the baby should be, right in between the pelvic bone. i was so concerned about hearing everyone else say they felt theres up high and my doctor is like `stop reading into it!! ` haha i guess i had to hear it. im really happy my little one is doing good. my cravings have still been cucumbers and a new one is now chips and salsa, only from mexican restaurants, and of course appple juice. i seem to need a nap everyday now too! zach and i are still trying to move out of this condo that we `ve been stuck in for years. i cant walk up 3 flights of stairs anymore!

Wednesday, 20 Feb

24 week checkup today! i met with a midwife this time. my blood pressure was only 120/68 and i gained 9 lbs!!! ugh, my god! so i guess thats a total of 16lbs to date. ive never in my life seen this foreign number on my scale! anyways, babys heartrate was 160 which he said was a great and very strong rate. i have sciatica. woo dee doo! its horrible. i had it pretty bad a few weeks back trying to plug in a wire at work. i was almost in tears with how bad the pain was. now its on the right side and its a constant thing everytime i walk. its horrible. he said the only thing that would help was acupuncture! ugh. anyways, we `re officially naming our daughter riley kathleen! i cannot wait to see what she looks like and how she takes to me! its all still so surreal!!

Thursday, 28 Feb

25 weeks today! i woke up with a horrible backache and it went on to become a crippling pain at work. it hurt me soooo bad! so i went to the bathroom when i got home and noticed that i urinated blood!! only like 3 little tiny specks but still enough to freak me out. so i called my doc and she told me to come right in. so i went in and got hooked up to the fetal monitor and contraction monitor. baby was doing great and i had a few contractions. not big though. so after 4 hours of waiting around and watching tv with zach they told me i had a uti! ughhh. ive had uti `s before and i never knew how different and painful they could be during pregnancy! my doc said that if i didnt come in and get it treated then i could have went into preterm labor. so thank god i went in!! my cervix was closed and high up which was a good sign, too. yay!

Wednesday, 12 Mar

27 weeks already! i feel huge! im feeling pretty good. my sciatica has gone away for now and everythings been going great! im mainly craving fried pickles as of the past 2 weeks and also entenmann `s raspberry danish coffee cake. its soooo yummy! i think we found a house. we just have to submit the paper work and if all is well we will be in at the end of this month! oh i hope it works out. its such a cute house, plus it will take a lot of stress off my shoulders. i get to go to the doc next wednesday for my gestational diabetes test. wish me luck!

Wednesday, 19 Mar

28 weeks today. had my gd test and my checkup. checkup was fine but turns out i am 5 points past what they consider normal and i have to take the 3 hours gd test now. i actually felt fine and thought the drink was good! im so scared that ill have gd. ughhh. i gained 21 lbs so far. blood pressure was great, no more uti either. basically all good news except the gd thing. ughh, im so disappointed. my day is ruined.

Wednesday, 9 April

31 weeks! last week we finally moved into our new house! yay! it sucked though because as soon as i left work i went over to the house and started feeling yucky. my parents came over to help unpack and i threw up! from 6pm-midnight i ended up throwing up 20 times! ughhhh. it was the worst thing ever. i stayed with my parents that night. the next day I went to the doc and they checked me out and told me it was either hormones, a bug, or food poisoning from taco bell! yuck! anyways, today i had my 31 week checkup and i had them do another pelvic exam because ive been having some pretty painful braxton hicks and real bad pressure. turns out im fine. cervix is closed and her head is facing down but it isnt in my pelvis yet thankfully. i cant imagine how its gonna feel when it is! ive gained 29 lbs so far. my blood pressure was lower today than usual. nurse said it was still ok though. ive been craving ice cream and fried pickles a lot, too! zach and i still arent getting along. hes just not as involved as i thought he'd be. i hate his band and i hate the fact it comes before anything and everything in his life. he'd rather play a show 11 days before rileys due, which is his birthday, and spend it with his friends rather than me. he is the most selfish person i have ever met. i just feel like giving up sometimes. ugh.

Wednesday, 16 April

32 weeks! last sunday my mom threw me my shower. it was so much fun! we played the baby game where you cant say "baby" or you got your clothes pin away from you. that was cute. and the other one where theres a small dixie cup of ice and in the middle of the ice was a baby and who ever broke the water first got a prize. haha, too much fun. my mom and dad got me a crib and mattress and also a rocker! yay! at the shower we got bedding, a changing table, a pack n play, a boppy pillow, some bibs, shoes, and a bunch of other stuff. no clothes though! weird. anyways, today i had my checkup. all went well! 160 heart rate like usual. 8 weeks to go!!

Wednesday, 30 April

34 weeks! i had my second shower last saturday. it went great! i got a lot of the smaller things i needed like clothes and lotions and carriers. so that worked nicely. today i went to the doc and ughhhhh!! they did an u/s and confirmed its still a girl, but sadly she's breech! i have two more weeks and then theyre gonna decide what to do from there. i think i might try the version to get her to move back into the right position! then again c section would be so easy. ugh, i just dont know what to do. im so scared of being numb and not feeling myself breathe during the c section. i dont want to have a huge panic attack on the table. i gained 5 more lbs by the way which brings me to 35 lbs! ugh! thats a lot of weight. oh, the doc said she had a really cute face when she did the u/s! that makes me so excited!! i cant wait to meet her. lastly, we had our childbirth classes yesterday and the day before. we had so much fun! 6 more weeks!

Wednesday, 14 May

36 weeks already! almost full term! i had my 23rd birthday the other day. zach got me a kangaroo care tank top i think its called, and you can hold the baby in there and breastfeed with it. he somehow snuck and bought it when we were having childbirth class. how sweet! he also got me a postnatal massage certificate. my parents got me a prenatal massage certificate and i got it last saturday and it was the best thing ever! great gift! it was also mothers day on sunday and zach took me out to brunch and got me this dress i really wanted. of course it doesnt fit now but eventually it should. my mom got riley and i some flowers and candy which was awesome, too! ive been feeling so ready to have this baby. i had an appt today and found out that shes still breech and her back is in my ribcage! yuck! if she doesnt turn theyre gonna schedule me a c section next week. i hope they do. i just wanna get one and have her easily! im over my c section fear now. everything looked good other than that! ive gained a total of 38lbs. not too bad but i dont wanna go too much farther than that.

scherzy - Thursday, 24 April
60$ thats cheap. Where are you getting it at? I just saw them at babies r us for 330. I need to get one.. im wondering if the hospital will let me rent one first before buying.I was just registering at babies r us and this girl was still using hers and was telling me what bottles to get and she said she uses the bags alot so she can freeze her milk. it lasts up to 6 mon. if you freeze your milk. Crazy right... I still have alot of ?s too.. im gunna as the hospital if there are any classes on it or what soo..ya kno. Goodluck.


nmck - Wednesday, 23 April
i think it does take a while to look normal again. I am afraid I will look pregnant until the big fibroid comes out though! I think you are right about him being strong. He needs less care than most premies so they are moving him to a smaller room with a few easier babies tomorrow. We are so excited! Thanks for always being so positive and encouraging!


jcody777 - Wednesday, 23 April
the 29th, if you asked my husband he would say I was moody, lol. But if you asked me I would say that I am not. But I am extra tired, don't feel like working, want to sleep in, and yes I do get easliy annoyed. So I guess I am extra moody. I think you look good in your pics too! I took that picture last weekend when I couldn't find ANYTHING to fit in, I just wanted to wear a sun dress. (That is a dress that I bought for a wedding last year.) from the side it looked great, but when I would face forward, all you see is boob. It didn't quite fit, but it was cute for a side pic.


jcody777 - Tuesday, 22 April
I am right there with you on the B-day thing. Mine is a week away, and I am probobly not going to do anything, but it is all good. My mom is coming into town for my shower, and I can't wait to see her. That is enough celebration for me!


nmck - Tuesday, 22 April
No, they didn't take out the big fibroid. It is dangerous to take it out after c-section. They thought it was connected by a small stalk, so they thought it might be ok. When they actually got to see it they said the stalk was too large to be safe. So, at my six week appointment I will talk to a doctor who does gynecologic surgery. I feel like I still look pregnant!


mamadimplez - Monday, 21 April
Hey there:) Are you in your new home? how is your lil' one treaating you these days?


mplsmama - Monday, 21 April
Well, I found out that I will definitely be starting my new job in a couple of weeks. I'm really, really torn about it. It's one of those jobs that I'd be nuts not to take -- and I found out that I can cover both me & the baby on my new health insurance for no cost. It'll save Dan and I the $66O / mo that we'd have to spend on his health insurance! So it's kind of a no-brainer. Anyway, they know I'm pg [obviously! couldn't hide this belly under my suit coat!] so I'll just train for several wks, then take my 12 wks, and head back to work after that. I really can't complain, either, b/c since Dan's a teacher, he'll be home w/ me all summer, and then he gets an add'l 12 wks after that. So... we're covered for 6 mos. Still, the thought of daycare isn't fun for me! Do you guys know what you'll be doing for daycare?
Hope everything else is going well. Still enjoying your new pad? We're slowly getting the nursery together which is so fun.
Oh, and I actually do get another ultrasound in about a week and a half! I'm so excited. But the reason I get it is b/c I'm measuring so large! Great! No wonder I'm humungous! I'm either carrying extra amniotic fluid, or having a huge baby. Lovely thought, huh? My dr said she predicts at least 8 lbs. Ok, I can handle 8 lbs... but anything over that gets a little frightening for me! Keep your fingers crossed for me...


angel435 - Sunday, 20 April
Oh I'm a wimp too. If I handle it anybody can.lol. I was only 18 with my son, and didn't know I was pregnant for a really long time. My periods were messed up and I didn't get a pregnant belly at all. He was a really small baby. I've known I was pregnant with this one since I was 3 weeks pregnant! I guess thats why it feels like I've been pregnant forever this time. I know it probably doesn't make you feel any better but after you have the baby you don't even remember the pain. Getting to hold your little miracle takes all of that away!


jcody777 - Sunday, 20 April
It is always good to get $$, that you weren't expecting! That is crazy that your baby has dropped, my has lifted up. He used to be so low that I couldn't even button a pair of pre pregnancy pants. But now that he has moved up, I can totally button those pre pregnancy pants! I don't know if you have costco where you are, but I am totally going to go there tomorrow and get a very berry sundae!! I love ice cream.


preciousangels2 - Sunday, 20 April
Thanks. I took a nice hot shower and that relaxed me some. Now I'm just trying to stay relaxed with a nice bowl of ice cream. The placenta has actually moved out of the way so that isn't it. Unless it can move back in the way.. Does that happen? It's such a beautiful day today. I've got all the windows open, and we have 38 windows in our house! lol.. Got the ceiling fans on and some nice smelly candles. Trying to make the mood relaxing but I'm not really succeeding. Anyway, I'll keep you updated.


angel435 - Saturday, 19 April
I'm feeling okay. Getting really anxious. I don't want her to be to early but as soon as I'm 37 weeks I'm ready to have her. This has been the longest pregnancy ever! I'm so glad you passed your test. I'm tired all the time too. The only time I feel like cleaning my house is my two days off and then I don't get much done. I have to sit down and rest ever little bit. Do they know how much your little one ways yet?


jcody777 - Friday, 18 April
I read that you passed your 3 hours test that is SUCH great news!! Hope you are getting situated in your new house!! Everytime I come to your page it makes me want ice cream!! lol...


angel435 - Friday, 18 April
Hey, sorry I'm just now getting back to you. Believe it or not I just found this site back since they changed it. I used to just type in how many weeks I was and click on the interactive site and there it was. Then they changed it all around. So did you pass your 3 hr test? Even though I passed mine I went for my 32 week ultra sound and the baby is measuring a pound over weight. They think its due to my body not processing the sugars like it should. The ultra sound tech said she is what her granny would have called corn fed! Shes supposed to already way 4 pounds and 14 ounces. So now I have to really watch what I eat or she'll be huge when shes born. Talk to ya later!


jenhop - Friday, 18 April
Lets hope so although it could wind up the complete opposite!!! LOL We are hopefully going to finish our nursery this weekend and start washing all the baby stuff:)


jenhop - Thursday, 17 April
I know exactly what you are talking about!! for about an hour or two last week I was actually jumping off of the couch she was kicking me sooo hard down there!! Then next day I felt almost nothing and started to panic but I think as long as you feel something at somepoint during the day you are good. My baby doesnt really move that much but everyhting has looked good at my appts so we just have to trust that things are good. Congrats on your pregnancy :)


queen-ri - Wednesday, 16 April
Hi thanx for the comment, honestly I was a single mom before and despite it's struggles it was great because after looking at how the dysfunctional relationships my friends were going through effected their children i felt alot better knowing that my child didn't have to go through that and as long as i was open with him about questions he has regarding his father not being there but not negative he was ok because my love and care was enough.

I'm sorry you are going throught this as well - so many of us have to make that decision on wether or not to move on and in the long wrong will it be best for the child. In my case the first time it was best but this time was a harder decision because I trully did love him and he I think still loves me but he has an anger management issue that he could not get under control so I had to make him leave for mine as well as my childrens sake. I had to think about what I would want my daughter to decide if she was ever in the same situation. When she is born hopefully he steps up to be a dad even though we are not together but who knows. In the end she will still be my daughter either way and I have to look out for her best interest even if it hurts me. Good luck to you


Megan-Danielle - Wednesday, 16 April
Suprisingly I've not found any good "dive" places that have fried pickles in Tennessee .. which is odd. We got a ton of hole in the wall restaurants, maybe I'm just not looking hard enough though. Hahaha I LOVE southern food, but then again I am a southerner so I guess it only makes sense. I like my stuff fried, greasy & full of fat lol it's amazing I was only 90lbs pre pregnancy. I ate like I was pregnant. I'm with you I feel like all I've done is eat junk food. It's just so much more convienant than fixing a meal.


nmck - Wednesday, 16 April
You are so sweet! Michael gained 50 grams yesterday, so he is almost back up to his birth weight. It is all good news when we go in. You are right, those NICU nurses are seriously angels. Thank you for keeping close tabs on us. I know everybody's positive thoughts and prayers are really helping. I say prayers for the all of the mommies on this website every night!! Hope you are still doing well. I know the aches and pains suck at this point, but try to enjoy all of the good stuff like the baby moving. I seriously miss those feelings now!! Thanks again! Love, Noreen


mplsmama - Wednesday, 16 April
Yeah, cobra isn't such a bad deal when you hear about the teacher's benefits, huh? I actually may be taking a new job & end up being the one working b/c the insurance at this new job will be so much cheaper... plus Dan can take a leave from his job if he wants to so we may end up doing that. How sad is that! I may end up working pretty much solely for the health insurance. Lame!
I still need a TON of stuff for the baby. We were fortunate enough to get a crib & changing table from our friends, and a rocking chair from my mom, so we're good w/ those things -- but at my shower I got mostly "small" stuff -- which is great, and I'm not complaining at all. But it's a lot easier to buy the medicines, bath stuff, clothes, etc, than to shell out the $ for the stroller, car seat, breast pump, etc. I was kind of hoping people would go in on a big gift, but like I said, I don't want to complain b/c my friends were all very generous. We've been able to fill the bookcase in the baby's room w/ toys & books so that's been fun too. But we'll probably end up buying the bigger items -- and we're looking at several hundred $$ for those [if not more]. But it could be worse! At least we have our furniture.
I'm getting the nastiest swollen feet at the end of the day -- it's driving me insane! I'm usually so high energy but at the end of the day I have to go home & put my feet up! I feel so lazy! I can definitely tell my energy level has decreased too. Like I can't get enough sleep...
I'm trying not to complain too much about that stuff either though -- I realized recently that if I hadn't m/c'd the month before this pregnancy, I would've been due w/ my 1st baby on April 23rd -- which is right around the corner. I'm actually struggling w/ it a bit. Feeling kinda sad lately & I think that's why. Just such a reminder about why every child is special. I thought I'd dealt w/ my m/c, but I guess I didn't. I feel sad about the baby I lost, even though I'm obviously so excited for this one.


Megan-Danielle - Tuesday, 15 April
My doctor put me on an ice cream diet. Lol I don't know why, I've gained 36lbs since December, but I'm not arguing with her because I love ice cream! We just ran out :[ time to go to the grocery store!
Cobra is a complete pain. Same with you, my insurance before hand was great & then the minute I needed Cobra (for a month) it was hell. I'm with you I hate insurance too, it's a bigger hassle than it needs to be quite honestly.
I just read your update from the 9th. Now I want fried pickles from hooters lol
