Hey Ohioans... it's been a while!

so many new faces! wow! I only recognize a few people. Hope everyone is doing well. I've been completely MIA and I apologize for that. Life has taken over and I am sure it's not going to slow down any time soon! I started a new job and am continuing grad school all while trying to prepare for our little arrival in August. Speaking of, I have LESS THAN 2 months to get ready for this baby... HOLY COW. You know what i have done? A big fat nothing. Well, I have the room painted, but the furniture is on back order until July and all of my showers are in July as well - so we literally have nada! Everyone keeps telling me it will work out - I hope they're right! ;) So, it also struck me that I am coming up on my one-year bandiversary. My how life has changed in the past year. Never in a MILLION years did I think I would be 8 months pregnant on my one year anniversary, but God had his own plans for the hubby and me. I'm ecstatic about our upcoming arrival, but a little sad that I don't have a huge scale victory to celebrate next month as a result. I guess I could celebrate that I've only gained 14 pounds at 31 weeks, huh? I guess it could be a lot worse... however, I can't wait to get back on the losing side AND have my little one here - a win/win! I miss all of you and will try to update more often as well as keep myself updated on all of you! Dr. C. - if you happen to see this, I decided to hold off on the fill for now. My appetite is suddenly gone! I went from completely ravenous in weeks 22-30 to not having any hunger whatsoever now. It's nice! But, you will be seeing me 2 weeks post partum without fail. Talk to you all soon, I hope! Melissa 31 weeks pregnant. HOLY cow.

Melissa Haven't seen you in A while glad everything is going ok here's A early congrats on the new Bambino good luck Michael

Thanks Michael! Look at your progress - wow!!

Melissa, If you have no appetite, you definitely don't need a fill. We'll see you after you deliver, when you're good and sleep-deprived! C

I think I'm well into the initiation phase of sleep deprivation. However, in a couple of months I am also sure I'll look back and laugh at thinking *this* was tired!

Hey Missy B How funny!! I was just thinking about you this morning and wondering how you are doing. I'm coming to Cincy near the end of the month. I would love to get to see some of my Cincy pals. It's kind of boring to drive 2 hours for a short appt then drive right back. Although, Dr C is totally worth it!! Sharyn 307/180/148

Sharyn..give us a time and date of your appt?? I would love to see you again if I can work it out. Brenda

Sharyn, I'd love to see you - keep me updated on date and time!!

I've been wondering about you! Glad to hear that you and the little one are both doing well. Take care!

Thanks Cathy! We're getting close! I can't believe it!
