  1. :p Fine I just took it as harsh... whatchoo doin Tues say from about 2 to 5?

     

     

    I had a 7 lb preemie.... You would have never known it other than his eating habits and his sleeping.. :)

    Working. :(

     

    Nev was 3+ weeks late and 6lbs 10oz. :wacko:

  2. First decide whether or not this friendship has any real value to you at this point in time, and whether or not you're wanting it to continue "as is." If the answer is no, then you need to make up your mind how to handle distancing yourself from her. You can take the straight forward approach, and just be honest with her about how you feel. Do it in as non-confrontational manner as you can, just straight up. Or you can take the easier road, and just quit calling, and see what happens. I think I'd go the first route if it were me.

    I agree with SoapMom on this one. Although, I've had friendships and friends that I loved and valued that were bringing me down, that I had to let go of because of the negativity. My life is much better now. I didn't realize how much my negative/drama centered friends were bogging my life down until they were gone.

     

    I still have a couple of negative friends around - these are the friends that I love dearly, like family. Should I decide to walk away, which is a possibility, I would definitely be honest about how I feel. Sometimes people aren't even aware they are being this way - pointing it out in a non-confrontational way and letting her know that you do love her but it's effecting your life and friendship just may be a turn-around point or wake-up call for her. If not, then atleast you tried and were honest about it.

  3. Not sure thats why I asked... I think if the child has figured out at 22 months how to climb out of his crib he doesn't have issues as far as his motor and thinking skills go so to say he has developemental delays I feel is a little much. But what do I know I have had an hour and a half worth the sleep. I feel as if someone has pissed in my cheerios..

     

     

    Nuffin wrong wif sharin stories I was just pointing out the fact about he is 22 months and can think and use his motor skills better than some children to figure out how to get out of his crib.. Nothing against you sadie just the smartass coming out in me.. :dopey:

     

    I :wub: you, but I disagree. HR was escaping her crib when she was teeny-tiny and she had/has developmental delays. She was in occupational therapy and speech therapy with Babies Can't Wait until she was 3, and then continued therapy elsewhere afterward.

     

    When HR started escaping, we took the side off of her crib (it was a convertible crib). She's four and a half, and still sleeps in that thing (when she doesn't move to the floor in the middle of the night :rolleyes: ). I just double baby gated her room, put the baby monitor back on her bookshelf and learned to get up at the crack of dawn when she started moving around. Sometimes I could get her back in the bed, sometimes I couldn't. The first few weeks - actually, sometimes, the first couple of months - are hard. They have a newfound freedom and do not want to stay in that bed. I just silently walked in there and put her back in the bed.

     

    The No-Cry Sleep Solution for Toddlers is an amazing book - it helped.

  4. If you had to buy a gift for someone on pcom what would it be?

     

    Post a pic and to whom it belongs to :)

     

     

    Mine is for LGM (she and some others may know why) lol I would buy you a cemetary

    :rofl: :rofl:

    Oh holy wow. You're awful.

     

    I'll have to think on this one.

  5. Well, I mean wedge like if dd asks to stay the night or something. Still - what's to gain out of the confrontation? I'd personally let it go until it became a problem and let this one ride.

     

    You and I are way too much alike. :mellow:

  7. Well, you just got your birthday present. I have a $500 credit with a photographer in Savannah. It's yours so that you and HR can get some professional pics on the beach or wherever you want. I'll email them now, just let me know your dates so I can be sure they block off time.

     

    :o :blush: :wub:

    You rock, chic.

     

    Wow! That's really nice of you! What a friend! :)

    I know, right? :wub:

  8. July?! Just remember..."its not the heat, its the humidity". :lol:

     

    Oh, I looooove Savannah in July. Heat doesn't bother me though - I don't even use A/C in my home most of the summer. The BF though?...yeah, he might have a problem with the heat. He's been running the a/c for weeks. :rolleyes:

  9. But I learned a lesson -- bring the big camera, even if it's a pain in the ass! These pics came out terrible compared to the ones that the photog took.

     

    :rolleyes:

    I coulda told you that.

  10. Be sure to watch "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" before you go. You'll see lots of places in the movie that you'll want to visit. Love Savannah. :)

    That's one of my favorite books - and a fantastic movie.

  11. Yep! That's about the going rate if you get a place for the week, if not more. I wasn't sure what your budget is/was since you said you're broke.

    All the really nice ones are running $800-1100 for a week over the summer. :wacko:

    If I can find cheaper thatn $600-700, I'd be a happy camper. We're splitting it, and it's the week of my birthday so I'll have 'birthday money' :blush: . I have a relative in the area that always invites me over/out for lunch/breakfast a zillion times when I'm down there (she tried to get us to stay with her, but there's not any room ^_^ ), and we plan on coupon grocery shopping and cooking our meals while we're down there. I'm broke...he's not so much.

  12. Welllllll..... I'm afraid you're going to have a hard time finding a place like that in the historic district that isn't going to cost you a small fortune! To stay in that area, you're going to have to pay. And the vast majority of places in that area are B&Bs or Inns. There are a several nice hotel chains in that area too -- and again, you're going to pay over $100 a night in that area.

    So far we've found several available for the week we want at $600-700 for the entire week. ^_^ I've emailed them with a few questions and am crossing my fingers that they email me back. :lol: Still looking though - I'm not going to pick one until I'm 100% sure I've looked at all options.

     

    Hit up Clio - I think she has family there and I am sure she can offer some great suggestions!

     

     

    Hey Clio - I'm pimpin ya out!

    I'll do that. ^_^ :wub:

  13. Did you see the link at the bottom of my last post? It goes to a huge listing of B&Bs and Inns in the historic district. :D

     

    I'm going to go look through them - I think we really wanted a little place of our own, without the romance and breakfast. We're taking HR down for a 'family' type vacation - no babysitter. :blush: I'm also pretty darn broke. :lol:

  14. There are many FABULOUS B&B/Inn's in the old section of Savannah. Just start looking and comparing rates/amenities. That section is really the most romantic to stay in though.

     

    You MUST plan a day trip out to Bonaventure Cemetery LGM. You'll love it!

     

    One pic from two weekends ago when I was there:

    Here's a huge listing of B&Bs and Inns in the old section:

    Oh, I LOVE Bonaventure. :wub: BF asked what I wanted to do down there, Bonaventure was my first answer.

  15. I love Savannah. It is one of my favorite places to go.

     

     

     

    Take your daughter here.

    http://www.nps.gov/fopu/ It is really neat.

     

     

     

    Check this site out also. Look up on a map though where you are looking at. There are many nice places in Savannah but one wrong turn you could be in a part you may not want to be in.

    Go to Earthbound a store on main st. They have really cheap cute earings :)

     

     

    Last year we stayed at the Holiday Inn. It was really nice and close to everything. It is a few blocks from the river.

     

     

     

    I am jealous. I would so move here if I could!

    I have a family member that lives down there and used to stay down there *alot*. The wrong part of Savannah isn't that bad when you've been there a few times. :nea: It takes getting acclimated to - kind of like downtown Atlanta.

    I did think about the Holiday Inn - we've stayed there before. Bf wants a kitchen though - and a separate place for HR to sleep.

     

     

    I stay on tybe its GREAT

     

    We don't want to stay on Tybee - we want to stay in Savannah, within walking distance of stuff, because we will be spending most of our time there.

  16. So....the bf and I are going down to Savannah for my birthday in July, but we need to find a place to stay. I'm going to look through VRBO and see what I come up with, but if anybody has suggestions they would be greatly appreciated. I really don't want somewhere nice, romantic, or anything like that - I don't plan on spending much time there anyway. This will be my first trip anywhere without somebody's parents, his first trip to Savannah, and HR's first trip to the beach. :wub:

     

    I absolutely loooove Savannah. :blush:

     

     

  17. Gross. :bad:

     

    'While 91 percent of American adults say they always wash their hands after using the public restroom, only 83 percent actually did so.'

    'Researchers found that 90 percent of women washed their hands while only 75 percent of men lathered up.Overall, Atlanta washed the least — 26 percent walked away without washing — followed by New York where 22 percent didn’t wash.'
