Congratulations
I'm so happy for you and your family.
Congratulations!!!
Hope all goes well for you and your little one! Keep us posted:-)
Congratulations!
I too miscarried my first pregnancy when I was 18. I went on to have two boys and I was also a gestational surrogate mom and had a little girl in 2005. Good luck and I hope the rest of the pregnancy is uneventful!
Congratulations! sm
My oldest daughter got pregnant after having a miscarriage - didn't even have a first period afterwards. Her twins turned seven in December - they are a joy!
Congratulations sm
Just wondering, how much help was the family of the bride. Glad your son is happy! Like I said on another post yesterday, "Ain't love grand"!
Congratulations!!!!! :-)

Congratulations!
I'd be happy to let your cats hunt inside the 6-foot fence in my back yard. Shrews and moles galore for the mighty hunter.
Congratulations!
Kudos to you! I am positive that your efforts played a major role in helping Sumpter Regional win the MRI!
Congratulations,
Not too many of us can persevere that long (including me!)
Congratulations!
She sounds like a sweetie pie! I remember housebreaking can be pretty frustrating but what about those training pads that they sell at pet stores or Walmart? Another idea is to put a bell on the door handle (believe it or not) and have her touch it and then go outside with her. She associates the ring with going potty and eventually will ring it herself to be let out. I've heard it works! I'm so excited for her and so happy she has a good home because it does sound as though she wasn't treated very well by a man before you got her. Makes me sick to my stomach how mean people can be.
First congratulations and second
from what I could tell from the part of the interview that they showed, she stopped the surgery. Now, I'm not sure if she did it because she was pregnant again or if she's going to restart the process.
congratulations
Congratulations on your pregnancy! Again, I have to tell you we have so much in common! It was the birth of my daughter that inspired my husband to be his better self.
Oh, and the step-kids growing up....... that is a whole other thing and they still cost you money, but at least the lawyers are out of it by then!
Congrats again! YOU hang in there!
congratulations!!
and i wish the couple many years of joy. Committment is the key word. Our youngest daughter did not want to go on to school, as strongly as we encouraged her to do so, and married right after high school. Five years later now, they have 3 children and are a model couple and excellent parents. My intuition also told me they were right for each other. Some couples will overcome all odds. hugs!
Congratulations!! sm
I think you will be happy with your decision. Those of us who have been there and done it know it isn't always the right thing to cut people off from your life. They leave and you're stuck with the guilt! Don't be angry with those who tried to help, perhaps they had it even worse and wanted to be helpful. You will feel better about yourself later and at least you tried! Be proud! You took the hard way out, but the rewards are good and you're setting an example of forgiving, and when she or they go, you will be able to live with yourself.
Congratulations on all of the above
I have to laugh here because here I am at 47 (7 years older) with a 15 year old and a 5 year old and you have a married son and a newly engaged daughter. LOL. My best friend from Jr. High School just became a grandmother for the first time and I just had to think wow, how different our lives are. Of course I wouldn't change the way my life has gone.
I see where congratulations for some and others, not so much
I am of the understanding now that if someone gets another wonderful job, so they say, so many oohs and aaahs and congrats to you.
When I posted on here about a week or so ago about doubling my money due to receiving my full retirement benefits and still working, it was so quite could hear a pin drop.
I am thinking jealousy has a lot of green-eyed monsters on here.
First of all -- congratulations!
Speaking from experience, I found breast feeding to be the most difficult part of being a new mom. Don't get me wrong -- I wholeheartedly believe in, but it just wasn't for me. It seemed to add to my postpartum depression by making me feel like I couldn't leave my baby even for a minute. I also felt that it took longer than it should. I have 3 children. With my first, I breastfed for about 6 weeks until I went back to work. With my second, I only breast fed 2 weeks, realizing that it was contributing to my postpartum depression. With my 3rd child, I didn't breast feed at all and I didn't seem to have near the postpartum depression.
I'm not saying that you shouldn't breast feed. It's a personal choice. For me, it just didn't work. I also think you really need to talk to your OB immediately about postpartum depression. I know it's real because I went through it. If you were on birth control before and you've yet to resume it, I would suggest speaking to your OB about restarting that. It can really help to regulate some of your hormones. Also, sleep when your baby sleeps. You need your rest so you can be a better mom. I would also see if a family member would be willing to watch her for a few hours while you're working. Most people adore babies, so I'll bet there are people just waiting to help. If you don't live near family, you could probably have a teenager come into your home a few hours during the day to sit with her while you work.
There are lots of people who would be willing to help. Just talking to other moms was a big comfort for me. Strap her in the buggy and walk to your nearest park! Good luck and congratulations! Everything you are feeling is normal, but you should still speak with your OB about postpartum depression.
How wonderful, congratulations and wish you the best !!!!...nm

Congratulations!...Will keep you in my thoughts!..nm

Congratulations to her and to you!!! You should place the right arm
far over the left shoulder and give yourself a pat on the back. What a wonderful support you have been in helping her achieve her goals and you should be very proud of yourself, too. I know she is so appreciative for all of you that made her dream come true!
Woohooo! Congratulations!
For odds and ends, don't forget to check Craig's list! I mentioned it to my daughter, and I've created a monster. She's gotten a free dishwasher, free stove, and gotten new bathroom sinks for her house complete with faucets for $10 each from somebody on the list that just moved into a (new) house and decided to have the sinks upgraded.
I like to visit Home Depot, Lowe's, and various wallpaper stores frequently, and pick up their discontinued borders and rolls of wallpaper for @ $1.00 each. If you know the square footage you need to cover, you may be able to do a room for as little as $5.00 instead of $250. Of course whenever my kids are redecorating, they go to my storage cabinets, find something that suits them, and take my finds home for free.
I do the same thing in the paint departments there and at Benjamin Moore. I'll find already mixed paint that somebody has decided that they don't like and, as long as it is an attractive color and a good quality paint, I'll pick it up for $3 or so per gallon. I do decorative and faux finish effects and always like to have a variety of colors in stock at my house for raw materials and am not afraid to mix paint colors to achieve the exact color I want.
As for the house, congratulations! I'm a huge believer in sweat equity.
Congratulations on being demoted!...have..
a drink for me! :)
Just wanted to say Congratulations! nm

Congratulations on your new kitty!
She sounds sweet! I swear by a liquid called Ration Plus. I first got it for my equines who had weight problems and gas. It's a prebiotic that works in their hindgut to regulate things...makes food stick to the ribs and helps with things like diarrhea and gas. I also give it to my dogs now and again and even my old senior cat. I put it right on their food and they gobble it right up.
HOWEVER, it does not state anywhere on their website or the label that it is appropriate for cats. I just wrote to them actually, just now, to find out if it was safe for felines. I know I've been feeding it to my cat now for over a year, one or two times a week as a top dressing on his food, and haven't had any problems and he looks great. I will let you know what they say about it.
Fantastic results and a bottle lasts a long, long time.
Here's their company website: http://www.rationplus.com/dog.html but I buy it from pet places because it's usually cheaper that way.
Congratulations! That is awesome.
Tell him great job from me. You must be very proud.
Great! Congratulations!
Congratulations Kendra!
Assuming from your post you are pregnant too. That's wonderful! :)
I'm pregnant and there's a lot I would tell people for the money too. Can't say I blame he/she...I blame the people who buy the magazines and watch the TV interviews. I don't support it one bit. No different than any other woman getting IVF.
Absolutely and congratulations to you, too!
Do you know if it is a boy or a girl?
I think she is gorgeous...congratulations!
:)
Congratulations -- You should be very proud of yourself
for being able to accomplish that.
Congratulations! Enjoy! And please keep it down there! LOL nm

Congratulations, Amanda!
Congratulations on the new arrival. She will be eating out of your hands in no time. I am so happy you found her so quickly!
Congratulations, Amanda!
That's the car I've dreamed of owning.. But I let myself be talked into the practical minivan to cart kids and grandkids around in. You're an inspiration though!
Congratulations - but also remember
that there is now a limit as to how much you can make beyond your SS and if you go beyond that limit you end up paying it back big time.
Congratulations from a Hurricanes fan! (sm)
I live in Raleigh NC and we were trying to give you guys a run for your money for a while there! Congratulations!!
Congratulations to you and your daughter ...
My daughters graduated in 2004 and 2005, cried like a baby at both events and then cried again as we took them to college. My oldest went to college out of state and that was absolutely heartbreaking. Of course, what I did not know at the time was that she was going to stay in college for 1 quarter, come home and live for a bit, join AmeriCorps, track off to California (we live in Georgia, she went to school in Alabama and I thought that was bad), ended up working with FEMA during Katrina (she has some nightmare stories to tell), went back to California, Washington State and then moved back home after 3 years. She has since lived in Washington, DC, Illinois and North Carolina, each time moving back home for a bit. Now she is working in law enforcement, like her dad, is back in school part-time, has her own apartment and lives locally, THANK GOODNESS. Man .... what our kids can put us through.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU AND YOUR DAUGHTER!
That is such a huge accomplishment. I know the - August feeling - and I will be thinking of you!
Congratulations on your new family addition.
Take your dog to the door every 30 to 40 minutes or so and the dog will get the idea that the outside is the place to do its thing. Could MAYBE give a treat when the dog actually goes outside and does not have an accident in the house. But, try to be careful on the treats, they will get accustomed to that really quick. Good luck.
Congratulations to your husband Wannie
It's wonderful that he's been sober for six months. Good luck to him.
Congratulations! My Mom was on the heavy side
You'll be fine! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy! All the best to you!
Congratulations!!! I know that's all I want for Christmas..for my almost 20-year-old to get a job
Mom is tired of supporting her and working 2 jobs..
Congratulations on so many years of marriage
It's my parent's 48th this year. Have fun at the concert. I'm actually leaving in a few minutes to go to a Matchbox 20 concert with my daughter. It was her 14th birthday (10th) present from my husband and I. I wish we were going in a limo. The weather her is supposed to turn really nasty in a few hours.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is great. Enjoy your family!
:)
Congratulations! Brave step you took! Best wishes (nm)

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry about
your brother and his family. What a shame. I'm glad Sasha had a good day. It must be really hard for you, because you probably want to pour your heart out to your brother about Misha, but you probably don't feel comfortable doing that with his loss, too. Well, I'll be thinking about you and sending up prayers, now for your whole family. I hope tomorrow is a better day, and so on, and so on.
Thanks for the update
Hi Stephanie. Glad to hear that your trip to the doctor was helpful. I know I really need to
get into the exercise too. Never was that big on exercise before, but now with the pain and fatigue, it is really hard to get motivated. I will just have to force myself. Yuck!!!
