HELLP Syndrome?

My BP started climbing at the beginning of the 3rd trimester and not long after my OB took me off work. She set me up with a homecare program for expectant mothers. They would come every day and check my BP and listen to baby, ask me if I had any headaches or symptoms which I rarely did. They also borrowed me a BP machine for home. I was carefully monitored from then on. And I saw my BP go quite high a few times. Nobody ever told me it was pre-eclampsia but I knew. And then I was scheduled to be induced at 38 weeks but when my blood results started changing at 37 weeks 3 days they induced me then.
The constant monitoring was annoying but it was best for baby and me to make sure he was growing and developing the way he should.
And there's always a risk of stroke...

I had a piper at my ceremony. She piped outside while the guests arrived and piped the bridesmaids and me in. And then piped again outside as the wedding party and guests filed out.
Don't ask me what she played! I don't remember hearing anything! I DO remember in the small room it was quite loud tho! But it was great! And it was a friend so I think I paid her like $50.

I agree!
The social might've been fun for our guests... but it wasn't for us. Well, me anyway. DH had a great time - probably because I could never find him to put him to work!
I found planning and running the social way more stressful than the wedding. And if I was to do it again, I'd either have way more help (because my wedding party sucked. everyone either got drunk or was too busy with their friends) or I would just for go the social altogether.

This happened to DH and I a few weeks ago. DH was buying a pair of shorts for $30 and a jacket that was originally $79.99 now marked down to $59.99. I went outside to wait for him. After he's paid he comes to me outside and says "just hurry up and get in the truck" ... WHAT?! I thought... did you steal something?? The jacket had 2 different UPC's on (which I never noticed what I looked at the tag and the price). She scanned the wrong one. One tag was for a black jacket, the other for a chocolate brown tshirt for 18$. YAY! WE didn't put that tag there.

I chose 7 minutes.
That's an average. DH and I aren't ashamed for people to know that we keep a handheld Tetris game in the bathroom (although it's usually just me that plays) or I'll bring my phone and play some Sudoku. That's only if I've got nothing else going on and actually have the time to sit. I'll play until my game is done.

I had only a couple bites of food all day. One of my BM's had a granola bar and gave it to me in the limo on the way to the ceremony but I couldn't move nevermind eat anything! At the reception I realized I couldn't comfortably sit in my dress nevermind lean forward to eat. I would either have to bring my plate up to my chin or risk dropping something on my lap so I didn't really bother. I had a bite of chicken, a couple bits of rice and a daintie and a piece of cake (not even wedding cake). Then I realized because we did buffet that lots of people were done eating already. My wedding planner told me that she would watch for me and if I needed anything just to look her way. I stared at her for several minutes and watched her laughing, eating and having a great time with my family!! What is that?! At our late night Life by Chocolate buffet I took a piece of wedding cake and a couple pieces of fruit coated in chocolate from the fountain and put it on a plate, went to talk to someone and never went back. That was the end of that plate!! And even at the reception I had SEVERAL drinks and never felt ANY effects! I guess it was just adrenaline!

I just used the cheapo drugstore glue-ons. I have no idea what brand they were, I just thought they looked good enough. They lasted throughout the day and MOST of the evening.

hey ladies,
just a quick check in...
Sorry Mrs.SL - I can't be trusted to start it! I feel like I'm never on here! Best of luck to you in your hopes of NOT obsessing! I told DH that I'd like to spend less time here. I mean, I'm happy for everyone and their BFP's but it just brings me down more. So I'm trying to visit less.
Adra - there's many more ladies who are much wiser than I, but this one I think I know!! Your luteal phase remains between 12-16 (or something like that) days no matter how long your cycle is ... meaning your O date was most likely around CD26.
AFM - I'm trying to spend less time here. The disappointment of being on cycle 9 already and not having luck is hard to take. But - not to be a downer... I'm on CD13 with a negative OPK. I only have 1 OPK left! I'm going to wait a couple days to use it again. But DH and I have vowed to BD a gazillion times more this cycle!

We used Rygiel Photo and they were amazing!! So happy!!

When I was growing up, my parents and I would take a few trips a year to the States. Usually to Grand Forks. Now, we usually just drive right through and continue on to Fargo. For the extra hour you get, in my opinion, more selection. Whether it be shopping or dining!
In Fargo we MUST hit: Sheels (DH is a sports nut), Chili's or TGI Friday's, Burlington Coat Factory and my friend recommends Hobby Lobby. I've never been there but I want to!

The last section of counter is right by the back door so we use that as our keys/mail/ etc. dumping spot.
The rest of the kitchen counter goes like this:
-knife block
-spice rack
-toaster
-decorative water fountain
-dish rack if we haven't put everything away yet
-soap pump and sink drain
-bus tub for dirty dishes
I would LOVE to keep the toaster in a cabinet because it's so huge and we have little counter space. I try to keep the counter clean and uncluttered... then DH walks into the room and things just happen!

DH and I went to Country Charm several years ago. It wasn't bad. The cabin was pretty nice. We rented some movies, did some BBQ-ing, paddle boated on the lake... At the time they had an ATV to rent. I don't know if they still do. But we took it out for an hour or so. That was pretty fun. No complaints. It was nice and clean.
And as for restaurants, I think there was a lounge or something nearby but we brought our own food to cook there.
