Nice Coat...
Nice coat that is mid-weight and good length. I really like it except the zipper is plastic and can be difficult to zip. I anticipated a metal zipper.

text: I had my second IUI today, and they said this month looks MUCH better than the last. The nurse told me things look "very good" and when the doctor came in the room, he said "I've heard great things about you." So...here's the deal. Last month my lining was 8.1 and my follies were 13 and 19, with no "triple layer" on my uterus. DH's washed count was 8.7 million. Well...this month I had two follies, one at 22 and one at 23, my lining was 9.1, and I had a "triple layer" pattern. Then, to add the cherry to the sundae, DH's sperm count post-wash was 27 million!!! All of his motility, viability, etc. were also up! They had to give me the "you may have twins warning," but my thought was "shoot, I'll be happy with anything healthy!" We're ssssooooo hoping this is the month!

By Tim SkubickFOX 2 Political AnalystLANSING, Mich. (WJBK) -- Let the piling on begin.The Michigan Supreme Court, which guards its ethical reputation with great fervor, has a problem: Justice Diane M. Hathaway is described in a complaint from the U.S. Attorney as a money launderer and maybe more.Talk about a smudge on the court.This is a "dreadful development," bemoans the Chief Justice of that esteem body. Republican Justice Robert Young, Jr. opines it is time for his Democratic colleague and or her attorney to "clear the air." Which is a nice way of saying, prove that you are innocent now.If you believe the U.S. Attorney, she has a lot of proving to do as Barbara McQuade, in a civil suit, alleges the jurist engaged in a real estate scheme in which she "hid assets in order to support her claim (to a bank) that (she) did not have the financial resources to pay the mortgage on the Michigan property" in question. They call it fraud.Actually these allegations are not new and were uncovered last May. At the time the aforementioned Justice Young called on her to say something. She has said nothing and the deafening silence is quietly eroding the image of the high court.This has risen to not only a legal question, but politics is lathered all over it as well. The mouthpiece for the state GOP lamented, she "must protect the integrity" of the court and take "swift and immediate action" to resign from that court.Apparently the Republican party misplaced the notion of innocent until proven guilty. But the Democrats would do the same thing if a GOP member of the court was in hot water.So here the court sits, the day after giving thanks, hoping this ugly mess shows some signs of resolving itself. Looks like the next move is up to Justice Hathaway whose silence is not so golden for the high court.

Minecraft review
Minecraft moves at its own steady, meticulous pace. Developer Mojang Specification's breakthrough hit is ostensibly a building game, with a survival twist. Aside from contending with the occasional monster and newly added final boss, my ultimate goal for the purposes of this review was to create, and live long enough to appreciate what I had introduced into my world.
Taking a structure from concept to execution is slow, and it can be tedious. Utilizing time during the game's twenty minute day and night cycle to obtain resources for future use can feel more like work than a video game. Minecraft can be frustrating in this regard; however, like real-world physical work, the fruits of my labor were the ultimate reward.
I didn't realize just how valuable that satisfaction was until I tried the Creative Mode. Survival requires you to find or make everything you use, while Creative is more freeform and provides endless supplies of everything. I went in thinking that I would prefer creating more complex structures in a snap. While the results came quicker, it was missing a vital element: work. For me, at least, building a gigantic tower just wasn't nearly as fun without putting work into it, so I quickly gravitated back to Survival.
Calling the beginning of Survival mode unfriendly would be an understatement, especially in our era of hand-holding tutorials and slow difficulty curves. Even equipped with the basic knowledge that night would bring monsters, I had to slowly learn--mostly by death--how to protect myself from the roving hordes.
The progression from my first night cowering in a small mud hut to overlooking the world from my mountaintop castle later is a testament to the game's promotion of building upon experience. By the time I built my multi-story stronghold with a basement that served as my primary dig site, I felt I had gained a good grasp on the situation. Minecraft shines by letting the player learn by doing, which imbues it with a constant sense of discovery.
Minecraft empowers the player, which led to me being overconfident and deciding to venture out at night. My progress was halted quickly as I was surprised by an exploding zombie in one instance or a skeleton archer who aimed perfectly to knock me into a pit of lava in another. The game sometimes felt brutally punishing when my death would lose me valuable equipment or hard-to-find building materials. Coping with those setbacks is part of accepting the game on its own terms. Begrudgingly, I would go on, start from scratch, and be more careful the next time.
I probably should have been more embarrassed than annoyed, since the combat is so simplistic. Almost all of the monsters make direct lines for attacks, and beating them tends to involve whacking them with a sword or axe over and over. They reel back, approach again, and I hit them again. Wash, rinse, repeat. Every death was more about being surprised than not being able to carry myself.
It may sound like a lonely, singular journey, but the reality is that Minecraft lends itself to a social meta-game. Sharing newly-discovered crafting recipes and stories with friends makes for a game experience I haven't had since the days of trading passwords for 8-bit games on the playground. The game is hard not to talk about, and I was constantly the author of my own stories that I wanted to share with friends.
The formal multiplayer takes the work ethic that defines the game, and then multiplies it. Since established servers have been running for so long uninterrupted, many have developed into sprawling mega-cities, rife with unique constructions and their own internal economy. It must have taken months and dozens of people working together to build these more complicated areas, and it's a testament of what the game can be when users work cooperatively.
It's too bad that after so much time, developer Mojang has still left multiplayer structure largely in the hands of the users. I appreciate the customization available, but simple features like a server browser, or easier steps to create your own quick game, would be appreciated. The game is constantly evolving, and I don't doubt that better multiplayer structure is coming at some point. Right now the process is simply too daunting for casual users, which means that some people will inevitably miss out on one of the most awe-inspiring parts of the game. Since the game has been such a success, perhaps crossing casual lines, this is an issue.
Sometimes Minecraft felt a bit like showing up late to a party. Like the complex structures that have been built brick-by-brick, the game has been iterating on itself repeatedly during its lifespan as an alpha and beta version. The learning curve might not have been so harsh if I'd been exploring from the beginning and learning new features as they came. The latest version is officially the 'finished' incarnation--hence our review--but Minecraft reads more like an MMO than anything else. Mojang has established a culture of constant updates, so the game's current state might be completely different within a year.
However many additions come, though, whatever new elements or mobs are put in place, the game itself has a strong core to rely on. It can be difficult and obtuse, slow and laborious, but that results in a rewarding sense of discovery and accomplishment. Sometimes work can be fun too.
This Minecraft review is based on the latest version of the game, purchased by the reviewer.

Rep. Michael G. Grimm (R-NY) and other Staten Island officials are calling on the city to waive water fees for Sandy survivors who have used little or no water in their damaged homes.
The city has sent homeowners bills to their damaged homes even if the home used no water during a billing period.
The homeowners are subject to a minimum charge from the city of $1.19 per day.
The city's Department of Environmental Protection says accounts for storm damaged homes are reviewed before a bill is issued.
"First I was frustrated and now I'm angry," said Rep. Grimm. "People are at their wit's end. Those displaced by Sandy simply want to get back in their homes and back to their lives, but every day they tell me about another obstacle, delay, or fee. Just because someone's home wasn't completely swept away or demolished, doesn't mean they can live in it. It also doesn't mean they should have to pay these ludicrous water fees. The policy should be that if you're not in your home because of Sandy, then all fees will be waived until you move back in."
Some residents say the charges just add insult to injury.
"We pay our taxes and we're sick and tired of getting dumped on," Rosemary Vapkens says. "To go and receive a bill like this for water that I can't even use? I can't even enter my home and we have to pay a water bill? It does start to make you you're your mind," said one homeowner.
This all comes at a time when Staten Islanders are waiting in limbo - whether it be for buyouts, flood maps, or more federal assistance. Grimm is calling on the city to waive the fees until homeowners get back in their homes.
The DEP says since Hurricane Sandy, its waived more than half-a-million dollars worth of bills.
Homeowners say they're still struggling and instead of getting a helping hand in their recovery, they're getting a smack in the face.
"It's just very frustrating, it really is. I don't know when it's going to stop," added homeowner Stephanie Argento.

A police chase with an 80-year-old Alzheimer's patient came to an end Friday morning after Onstar shut-off his car.
The driver of the white SUV was traveling at speeds up to 90 miles an hour on I-20 near FM 450 in Harrison County. Traffic was backed up for nearly an hour. Authorities shut down the westbound lanes of the interstate in order to get the man off the roadway.
We're told he thought he was going to a doctor's appointment in Shreveport when he headed out from Minden, Louisiana and ended up at the Hallsville exit.
The trooper says it took longer than expected to stop him. He'd been going back and forth between inner and outer lanes, moved to the outer lane and then authorities used Onstar to shut his car down.
The man has been loaded onto an ambulance.
Fortunately, we are not hearing any reports of any injuries.

Wednesday around 7:30 a.m., Warren police responded to a 9-1-1 call from an 18-year-old woman at the Americas Best Value Inn and Suites on Van Dyke. She said she had been sexually assaulted and gave police the name of the alleged rapist.
While at the motel investigating the initial report of a rape, Warren police got the call that two teenagers had been sexually assaulted there and their alleged rapists were still in the room.
"One of the individuals took the plastic bag and threw it in the bushes at the hotel, which was recovered by the police with all the evidence still intact," said a man who was staying at the inn when two males ages 21 and 17 walked out of their motel room with a 13-year-old girl Wednesday morning and tossed out a bag containing beer cans and condoms. Turns out a 15-year-old girl had been there, too. She had already gone home. Her mother was the one who called police.
"My wife gave them a real description of what they [were] wearing, how they looked and which way they went," the motel guest explained.
Police gave chase, caught up with one individual a few blocks away and the other about a mile away. Police said they had met the girls at Lakeside Mall, partied with them and had sex with them at the motel. The girls were there willingly, but at 13 and 15 years old, they are too young to consent to sex.
As for the males, they are now facing some serious charges.

Team Fortress 2 Closed Beta to Test Pro TweaksValve has started a Team Fortress 2 closed beta test, with the goal of balancing the game for competitive matches, according to TF2 developer Robin Walker.
"The TF2 Beta is something we've just started running," said Walker to Shacknews. "It's aimed at filling a hole in TF2's iterative development model."
"To iterate effectively, we need to be able to measure the impact of our changes," he said. "Up until now we've been successful at measuring that impact on the non-competitive TF2 community, because we have good internal proxies for it--the TF2 team itself, plus other internal and external playtesters. Our proxies for the high end competitive play aren't as good, and that's lead to us making some design decisions that have hurt it."
Walker pointed out that the beta does not represent a shift in Valve's approach to the casual community.
"This doesn't reflect any change of our attitude towards non-competitive TF2 play, it's just going to give us more data," he added. "We'll continue to talk and listen to the non-competitive TF2 players, as we have done in the two years since we shipped. The more data we have, the more effective we'll be as we continue striving for design choices that work for all TF2 players."
European TF2 clan FokkelBrigade says that a small group of top European and American teams have been selected for the beta, and that the first stage is focusing on tweaking the Sandman bat-and-ball unlockable, a weapon routinely banned from competitive TF2 play. Rumors of a fire-repellent suit for the Spy are also circulating.
Walker has previously expressed a desire to "get more insight" into what Valve can do for the competitive TF2 community.
"I'd like to build some more bridges to organizers within the competitive community, which is something we've tried to do but still continue to have trouble with," he said in a recent CommunityFortress interview.

@jayrosen_nyu @jennydeluxe @withdrake @lauriesegallcnn #JMash
This headline post is what journalism is looking like more and more these days. Reporters are increasingly relying on Twitter to research stories, find people and distribute their own news, according to a media panel assembled by Mashable during Social Media Week NYC.
The panel featured Jay Rosen, NYU journalism professor, NY Times tech reporter Jenna Wortham, CNNMoney's Laurie Segall, and Drake Martinet of All Things Digital. The moderator was Vadim Lavrusik from Mashable.
Twitter has grown at an incredible speed. Just a year or two ago, journalists I queried about their use of Twitter yielded responses like "I have a twitter account but I don't really know what to do with it so it's just kind of sitting there".
I myself tried desperately to hold on to my good ole reporter's notebook, but was urged (and that's putting it nicely) to start tweeting. It was like a foreign language that I didn't want to learn at first. But I did and now I'm on Twitter everyday.
It's not enough just to know what Twitter is; you have to know how to use it – hashtags, the @ symbol, DMs and all. .
"The skills journalists need to prosper are changing very quickly," said Rosen. He says media outlets want people who can do more; hence what he teaches has evolved along with the expectations of the industry.
Rosen runs NYU's Studio 20 graduate program that focuses on "innovation and adapting journalism to the web". It's all about challenging student journalists to find new approaches to journalism. A necessary change from when I was a graduate student at NYU's j-school back in the early '90's.
"I'm trying to deliver to the world of journalism people who are capable of inventing its future and that is a completely different kind of education."
Both Wortham and Segall skipped J-school and took a more hands on approach.
"You have to be a hard worker, be egoless, don't complain and use social media," said Segall who figured out how to use Facebook early one as a freelancer.
"I used Facebook to find people who had the Swine Flu," said Segall. "Now I can look at Twitter and within five minutes I can be up to date with all the news."
As a tech reporter for the Times, Wortham reports on and uses all the social media and tech tools out there but she says nothing beats good storytelling.
"We don't have the luxury of focusing on one area," she told the room full of mostly aspiring journalists. "The more you know, the better you can craft your story so that readers will return and follow your work during the length of the story."
All Things Digital's Martinet was a speechwriter for many years before earning a Master's in Journalism from Stanford. Now he works on making ATD more social-media friendly in addition to blogging about start-ups.
"There's a ton of software out there that I use but the single thing that has helped me deal with information overload and aggregation and then quieting myself down enough to take it all in is I've started using a writer's app on the iPad."
And there are other tools out there that the panelists mentioned:
- TweetedTimes
- Rapportive
- Plancast
- Quora
- Twitter Lists
But perhaps the most valuable reporting resource has been there all along.
"People are my biggest tool." Rosen says you have to know how/where to find the one person with the expertise you need. Hmmm, I happen to know an excellent experts service that helps you do just that!

I hope that you get the ultrasound soon Christina.
Bridget, Savana is just adorable with her "tiny but handsome head" comment. Brains and heart both ...
... just like R, L! Those sweet loving moments are the best, and like everyone else I'm impressed with the twins' math skills. Negative numbers, wow!
I wish I had some advice about Maiya and the religious stories. I'm in the same boat. My mom is really religious and it's kind of a constant struggle to maintain boundaries. I know she can't help it -- as dh says, "she breathes in air and breathes out Bible!" but it can be challenging because I know it means so much to her to have the kids learn about God/Jesus, and yet I feel squicky about the idea of teaching them stories as "Truth." I have no trouble talking about various religions and what people believe, and God and Jesus are not taboo subjects at our house. I took Noe to church with my parents Easter morning because to me that's a cultural tradition. I grew up belting out "Christ the Lord is Risen Today," and I really love the old hymns and spirituals. BUT there's a line there that can be difficult to enforce, when it's not just cultural or learning the literature and theories of religion, and becomes about guilt and sin and only one way -- "the Way, the Truth and the Life." I was uncomfortable with Noe hearing about how Jesus died to save her from a life of sin, uncomfortable with talk about the crucifixion and how Jesus rose from the dead. That stuff is creepy superstition to me that can put a heavy burden of guilt on a kid. I say that as someone who was raised in the church, studied the bible for years and even taught bible study classes and sunday school -- I still struggle with fear and guilt related to religion, and I don't think I'll ever get that out of my head. I hate the thought of doing that to a kid, and when I look back at teaching innocent little children those "truths" once upon a time, I feel bad about it. I feel that I contributed to them possibly developing a set of ideological beliefs that are not only untrue, but may hinder them later in life. I don't want that to happen to my kids.
It's a complicated issue. I think how we'd handle it at home would be that if my mom wanted to teach Noe bible stories or talk to her about God, she can do that at her house... and when I'm at home, I'm clear with her that Grandma's beliefs are just her beliefs... they are not the only truth. But I know dh is not comfortable even with that, and sometimes I'm not either. That was how we did things with dd1 -- my mom talked to her about religion, almost bathed her in it when she was at her house, and then at home we talked about differing ideologies. And now, as a teen, my dd is agnostic and comfortable with that, so I guess the approach worked... BUT. She is also quite uncomfortable with my mother. She hates that her grandma talks to her about religion. She feels guilty and bad about it -- guilty that she doesn't believe the same, that she doesn't like hearing about it, and I think a little angry and resentful too that she doesn't feel like she can be honest with my mom without upsetting her (but that's more about my mom's personality than just the religion, and hopefully Maiya's grandma is more open and less easily upset).
Oh, and Jennifer, thanks for your perspective on the runaway toddler mouth! I'm glad you said that -- it makes me feel better. The lady did seem comfortable, and not offended, and I'm grateful for that as I'd hate to be the reason someone had a less than fantastic day. But I guess I'm sensitive on the topic because dd1 did say something once as a 4 year old that really offended someone, and I felt terrible about it. It wasn't about size -- there was a woman at the church we attended at the time who had a very, very pronounced mustache. dd1 mentioned it one day and the woman gave us an absolutely scathing look. We had to see her and her kids every Sunday after that, and she always pulled her kids away from my dd, and it was awful. So I'm so glad the woman yesterday had a sense of humor and seemed comfortable in her skin (and seemed to know that little ones just have no filter), but I know some people aren't so ok with themselves, and I just hate the idea of hurting someone needlessly.
I meant to say that that was awesome how Savana caught herself and said such a nice thing! What a great kid!
And I'm jealous Gretchen and Janet had a swim date....I want a swim date!
I was trying to remember how DH and R. were talking about the multiplication of negative numbers, and this is how DH remembered it:
R. already knows that 2 x 2 = 4
He couldn't really multiply by negative 2 off the top of his head, but he could multiply by 2. So if he had -2 and multiplied it by 2, it made sense for him that it would be -4.
I have been also trying to get C. to calm down by counting backwards down from 10 when she's really upset, because counting up to 10 from 1 doesn't really cut it any more. Lately I have her count back from 10 to negative 10. Or I have her count to 100 by 10s or by 5s or by 20s, or to 20 by 2s.
I was trying to practice mindfulness on my way home from work today, thinking about how I should sit down with my kids and focus on small things like the color or the shape of a blade of grass, or the soft riffle of the wind on my bare arm, or the slow hiss of the heat turning on, or the scent of a freshly cut apple, and slow down and savor the different minute sensory impacts and take time to notice them and reflect. I thought about that, and thought about how it would be nice to be able to take a class with one of my children in the evenings, maybe a family tae kwon do class with one of them one day, and maybe a drawing class with another one another day. It seemed very ambitious and unrealistic and sort of romantic, given the realities of our situation. They would love it, though.
And then I got home. And for about 10 minutes I was swarmed with loving chaos, and then it was just chaos, and then it was shrieking crying chaos and "He's hurting me!" chaos and then there was more yelling and more crying and screaming and running around the house and I found out S. hadn't eaten since his morning snack and I had to get dinner made asap but nobody would let me make it and I had to keep giving them things to do and keep trying to keep them separated because the more they were together the more crying and yelling happened and C. cut out a butterfly shape out of paper and tried to give it to me and it was just the thirtieth thing that made me stop making dinner (the 29th thing being trying to put underwear back on S. after he refused to do it himself) and I can tell you that I was just about the least mindful mom there ever was.
I always have such good intentions. I really do. And about 45 minutes into being screamed at, I have such a hard time staying calm. I am SO good at work, and everybody tells me I am really good at staying calm under pressure and I am more generous and patient than most of my co-workers would be, according to them.
I apologized to C. for rejecting her butterfly. And I am not looking for a whole lot of "there theres" -- I know we all have bad days, and the yelling just gets to me. But I know that I've been less patient in general lately, and I know I can do better.
Speaking of, I told you that I would tell you about my mom. I was an accident as well. My sister and I were both IUD babies. My mom never made me feel unwanted. My dad was disappointed we were not boys. My mom loved us wholeheartedly. We were with her all the time. She worked occasionally, went to school sometimes, shared her life with us, took us to classes, read to us. We were part of the adults' lives, in that we went along to the grown-up parties and hung out with the other kids. I don't remember date nights or grown ups only or anything like that. It was all one big social circle, and we would all play together in sort of an extended family. One of the girls I played with as a baby 40 years ago was just visiting from Oregon last weekend with her family on Easter. My mom was in her early 20s when she had me, so it didn't seem strange that all the grown-ups and kids would play kick-the-can together in the late summer evenings. Even now, the friends she had then tell me that she used to say that she couldn't imagine anything better than spending time with her children.
So yes, I grew up feeling very loved and secure. I think that contributed a lot to my sense of security and self-esteem. I only remember my mom being mad twice during my entire childhood. DH tells me that is partly that my mom is a little bizarre in that she is very stoic and doesn't show feelings much, though. She doesn't show happiness, much, either. She remains very impassive. I think that may contribute to my difficulty in reading people. Far better than my DH, who had to be able to know instantly upon entering the room if his mother was in a bad mood or not.
I confided all kinds of things in my mom, things she may have not wished to know. I told her when I lost my virginity, for example. And more details than that. She gets a little uncomfortable with things like that. I treated her like a confidante. Still, I am not as close to her as I think a lot of people are to their mothers. I think she was a wonderful mother, but I don't feel the need to call her to tell her things. I have to remind myself to invite her along to events that she might be interested in, and even then, I don't enjoy her company as much as I should. I'm not sure why this is. I find myself getting a little irritable at some of her habits, at only the way extreme familiarity can do. Like, if we're shopping together, she tends to not pay attention and run her shopping cart into my heels. Or at my house I get home and have to bustle around a bunch and she follows me and stands right where I need to go. I hate the thought that my kids might feel the same way about me some day. DH dreads his mother's visits, so he is far worse than I am, but I also think his childhood was more conflicted.
So, I guess my summary is that you can have a perfectly wonderful mother and think she's awesome, and still not end up with a great relationship at the end of it all. But it may just be me and the fact that I'm a little prickly in general. I definitely show more feelings to my kids. And they have seen me mad more than twice already. My mom tells me that she thinks I'm a better mother than she was, but I think I'm always going to have a hard time living up to her, just because of that unconditional love and support she always provided me. I am glad that my children have both of us here to balance each other.
Whew! All right, DH is calling me with his siren song....
I hate ALL clothes shopping. ALL of it! Hence why I am so out of style. My clothes mostly consist of gifts. You know, the kinds of things people bring home for you from vacation, so they're all from Yellowstone or Alaska or Canada or something. And my only swim suit is a bikini from pre-baby days, back when I didn't look as horrible as I do now. But it works, and that's enough for me!
Ash, good for your mom for hanging up on him. So sorry it's going that way...
L, how did I skip the story about R?? That's amazing! He is so smart. You say you have good intentions, and though you sometimes have a hard time staying calm, you're obviously doing something really right!
Myles, I don't know exactly where you are, but I know of two other pools like that- one in Oakland, one in Newark- both indoors. http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Governmen...tics/OAK029284 and http://www.ci.newark.ca.us/departmen...ices/aquatics/ this one is currently closed for maintenance, and may be the one you've already heard about. All that, however, is WAY too much for Maiya. We just went to the Plunge in Hayward. A very simple, basic, but relatively big kiddie pool. Perfect for my girl who hates splashes!
Bridget, I'm sure your bionic tooth is giving you mixed emotions. It sucks, but it will be so nice to have that taken care of.
Christina, hope you get an ultrasound, and very good news, soon!
I don't know, maybe I'm over reacting. I'm really not anti-religion, I'm just anti-telling my 3 year old that something is fact when it isn't. I just don't believe in that, period. I love having a rich fantasy life, and we play pretend ALL THE TIME. But I don't tell her any of that is real. I don't mind her being exposed to OTHER people believing it's real, but that's very different from my mom- the person Maiya is second closest to in her whole life- tellng her it's real at this age.
Plus, I finally read the books. The little one is way more religious than I like, but otherwise ok. The bigger one? It's awful! Full of anger and evil and murder... It's the kid's version of the bible, so I guess it would have to have all that, but this is my girl who gets scared when the bear forgets to bring his cat home from the pet store!! So with or without the religion, that one is out for a few years.
I'm debating telling her it's ok to read her the little one, just as long as she doesn't try to teach her anything. As long as she treats them like just stories, it's fine. And then also introducing other religions. I didn't want to introduce ANY religion yet, but if we do one, we need to do more than one...
Oh, and my mom raised me, and her mom (who was definitely Christian, not wanna-be, like my mom) lived with us, so I was definitely exposed to it from a young age. I went to Sunday school a few times, and sang in the choir, and went to VBS and all that. It didn't traumatize me, but it definitely lent to a different type of soul searching than I want Maiya to go through.
L, that's so sad to me that you could have such a close relationship with your mom growing up, but feel so different as an adult. I think ideally, we all want to be close to our children from birth till we die. At least for me, that was my goal. I do realize, though, many adults (especially on here) have less than stellar relationships with their mothers. Worse ones with their mother in laws. It worries me. I tend to think that most people love their children more than their children love their parents (at least after age 8 or so). It's heartbreaking. Now that I'm gonna be a gramama so that one will certainly love me forever. lol (j/k-but that does seem to be how it works!)
I won't "there, there" you about your day, but just say that we're all imperfect humans with our own needs and limitations. Parenting is a journey in itself and we learn as we go along. I'm a vastly different mother now than I was when I first had Bobbie and not much of that is related to how young I was. For 17, I was a 'mature' mother in that I had my goals and was focused. Our lives really weren't different from any other young couples with a new baby, except I went to school instead of work. We (I) made mistakes, but I'm sure most of them I would have made if I'd waited till I was 30 to have children. I had these strange ideas about how things would work...
Oh, after all that talking last night I forgot to say anything about the heartbeat--it can be very tricky to find a heartbeat before 12 weeks. I wish you a lot of luck, and call the radiologists' office back soon if you don't hear from them.
I wouldn't say I have bad relationship with my mom at all, but it's not as close as it could be. I was trying to offer a counter-example to the black-and-white lack of bonding as a child ==> lack of bonding as an adult idea.
Oh L, I can totally relate. I have all these wonderful intentions of sharing things with Josh, really trying to bond with him, and then he comes home and throws his backpack and coat on the floor, demands a snack, throws himself on the floor screaming if it's not just right, won't tell me about his day, won't do anything without resistance...and I'm thinking, how am I supposed to bond with this?
I see the tearjerker videos about how this time goes by so fast and how wonderful it is and they make me cry, not for the intended reason but because I feel like we (DH, Josh and I) are not enjoying it as much as we should be or other people seem to be.

Thanks L. My head knows that, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
I really love my mom a lot and talk to her generally 2-3 times a week. But I wouldn't want my mom to live with us....she can be kind of bossy and tends to think she is right and her way is the best way. Like when we were first going to get Cosmo, I knew a week in advance. I didn't tell my mom until AFTER we brought her home. I didn't want to hear it that getting a dog was stupid because we lived in an apartment and it would be hard to find another place that would allow a dog when we moved (we knew we weren't likely to stay in that area forever). And this was in my mid-20's AND I was married and we totally supported ourselves. Or I might hear about how my aunt is doing something "wrong" with her kids....I mean I generally agree with mom that my aunt shouldn't be doing x or should be doing y a certain way but still.
I did finally show my mom last visit the stuff for little dude that I have been slowly collecting. I was surprised that she didn't have a comment about the cloth diapers other than "oh I thought about doing that with you but didn't".....but she did tell me to quite buying stuff because I was going to jinx myself. She knows I have talked about the room getting ready but thinks I should wait until we have been matched. Whatever. I just probably will not talk about it much until the room is done and I think we will get going on it after the vacation next month.
That said, there is nothing my parents wouldn't do for me.
Now my MIL is a different story. She is a GREAT MIL. She always tells me "it's whatever you want" and "I just want you kids to be happy". I talk to her almost daily on the phone and via email. I have absolutely NO issue telling her, no this is my house, we will do it this way or this is my kid and I want it like this. I have already told her things like that before in regards to the dogs or food safety (I refused to eat meat until she stopped freaking defrosting it on the counter).
I do feel a bit bad though the one time she was trying to spear butter in a pan with a knife....I have VERY sharp knives. I said, no that knife cannot be near that pan. (the pans are expensive and a have a nonstick coating). She wasn't listening and was like, it's not going to touch the pan (which I thought too once and accidently nicked a different one with the same knife). I tried again and finally was like get that effing (insert real word) knife away from my expensive pan. She finally did.
She knows I can be a PITA about certain things but really if either of us bugs her, it's her son. LOL
It will be interesting to see how we do on vacation together. A solid week together, sharing a hotel room and in the van. Well technically I got one of those hotels with a bedroom/living room/kitchen. She is taking the couch but I think the only way to the bathroom might be the bedroom.
I think that she will probably end up moving to Milwaukee later this year to take care of grandpa...he's 92 and shouldn't be really living alone in a house. Once he's gone though, she wants to live by us and depending on money she might end up living with us instead of getting an apartment.
When my mom lived in the US, we used to talk amost daily. Now, we talk weekly. I miss her a lot. Both my parents and my ILs have stayed with us for months on end, and mostly, it is not a problem. Mom is like me, in that she can only take so much togetherness, so she gives space. DH likes dad better because he is SO gregarious.
L, I think you need to cut yourself some slack. At least you have so much chaos to deal with. I just have the one kid, and feel at the end of my rope half the time. I think I was 100% right in that I have not a maternal bone in my body, and I am just not cut out for having kids. It might help a little if I had even a half way supportive partner, but it is simply not something I derive much pleasure from. I love my child, but I honestly would rather get every one of my teeth drilled without anything to numb it than have another child.
{{{Christina}}} I hope you get to put your mind at ease soon!!
It's funny with parents. I kind of felt as a child that I loved my parents more than they loved me, but I think I just was an emotional kid and I seemed to have particularly strong "love" emotions. They, on the other hand, had two kids close in age, and my little sister was more outgoing and vocal about her needs (squeaky wheel), and then they had a third child later on to take care of. And of course, looking back on it as an adult, I can see they had a lot of stuff of their own going on (miscarriages, marriage trouble, etc), which they never shared with us. My mom was the stoic type as well, not very comfortable showing her emotions, and while she was at home and always there for us -- all of our physical needs were met, and then some -- she was an introvert who needed her own space, and had a lot of headaches and some pretty black moods where we had to step very carefully. My dad traveled a lot for work. So, while I think we were a close and happy family in most regards, I look back and realize that there was a part of me that always wanted a little bit more than they had to give -- more hugs, more one-on-one time, deeper understanding. And then I had a somewhat tumultuous adolescence, and my mom really didn't "get me" at all and had a lot of anger and resentment and embarrassment about the kind of teenager I was (she had been a very conservative, religious teen -- I shaved my head, listened to punk, wrote gothic poetry, and pierced my own nose). It really broke my heart how angry she was at me about those things, that she couldn't "see me for me." I understand now where she was coming from and how hard it was for her, but at the time I just felt rejection. I left home for college at 16 and I don't think my parents were sorry. They had a lot of other stuff on their plate.
Now that I'm turning 40 and they're in their 60s, they seem to be the ones tasting freedom - ie, retirement - and going their own way. And I think I still worry about them and want to be with them more than they do me. I recently was talking to my mom about where they're going to retire, and I said I worried that if they were far away from us, I wouldn't be able to help care for them if (when) they needed it as they got older. She didn't seem to want that at all. She said they're thinking of leaving California for someplace less expensive (which I totally get) and someplace more conservative (which makes me laugh -- my mom is getting more extreme religiously as she ages and I think she's one of the only people I've ever heard of who wants to move to the South so she can be around people "with traditional values" -- what!?! Nuts). I guess maybe as adults we're still playing out my teenage years, in a way -- our "lifestyle" and lack of religion really upsets my mom and drives a wedge between us. I still love her, even though I think her views are kind of wacky, and I'm asking her to love and accept me, and she can only do it up to a point. I think that's just something I have to accept will never change.
All of that really to say that I do think how my parents raised us has informed how I am with my own kids -- both the ways I want to be like them, and the ways I'm different. I'm much more emotionally available than my mom was -- my girls do see my feelings, and my troubles (and my frustrations, and impatience!), but they also feel my love. I was very cuddly and physically available with both of them (the teen doesn't need much of that anymore, but as a child we were joined at the hip, and Noe still shares a bed with dh and I for most of every night). I want them to know that they're the best part of my life, every day, and that they can come to me for anything. We talk a lot. I must have done an ok job with opening lines of communication, because my teen will still talk to me about anything (yesterday she walked into the room and said, out of the blue, "I'm glad I'm a girl. Having internal genitalia is just better. I'd hate to have to be careful every time I sat down so I didn't sit on one of my balls."). My teen has a lot of goals, and she wants to do her own thing, but she doesn't want to leave home. Looking at colleges, I said there were lots of art schools to choose from all over the country, and she said she didn't want to leave San Francisco because "I don't want to be that far away from you." I think that means I'm doing ok.
Jennifer, it's so sweet the relationship you have with your MIL. What a great gift for all of you (your dh especially). I love my MIL - she's a sweet lady - but while I'd love to have her live nearby, I could not deal with living with her. It's really generous of you to be open to that.
Suja, it's great you know yourself so well. I think lots of people don't realize that about themselves until they already have too much to deal with. And I think you're a great mom, and Mira is lucky to have you. The whole teeth-drilling metaphor made me shudder, though. I would rather do anything than that. Including have 20 kids.
I think it is an unpopular thing to think, never mind say out loud. How can anyone think that motherhood is not the cat's meow? It is for a lot of people, I'm sure (why else would anyone have more than one?), but not for me. Maybe if I had had a different, more easy going child, I'd feel differently, but I doubt it.
Christina, I hope everything turns out fine. Do give them a call, if they haven't called you yet. It's not nice to make pregnant ladies worry!
Gretchen, it is good to have that perspective. I can easily see myself being that mom, and it's good to see it from the other side. I hope the two of you can have that relationship you've always wanted. It IS hard though, when people have strongly held views.
Bridget, I think I will be jealous of your bionic tooth. I have ridiculous teeth that I'd love to replace one day.
Suja's tooth-pulling metaphor remindedme of Bridget's tooth. Suja, that is cool that you realize that about yourself. I think a lot of people would try to ignore those feelings. I wish people were more honest with how hard parenting is.
L, don't be so hard on yourself. I think we all have those kind of moments where we envision all the cool things we can do that day and then the reality hits us as the kids start punching each other and screaming for everything they want.
I thought that Travis would be an only child after I had him. I would've been content with just him, but we went on vacation with the whole family when Travis was a year old and I saw my 2 nephews interacting and knew that I wanted the same for Travis. I'm glad we have 2 now for both their sakes, but we have sacrificed a lot to have 2 children.
Gretchen, that's brilliant that your daughter wants to be nearby at university. I think my mom and dad regret now that weren't closer as they always hint that they want us to live over there, but I'm much closer to my in-laws and can't imagine ever leaving here while they're still alive. I think if I had been closer to my family, I wouldn't have been able to make such a big move over here.
In light of all our discussions here lately, I thought I'd put this one here.
Christina, of course you're worried, hun! I hope you get some real answers soon, and that your mind can be taken off it in the meantime.
L, I remember meeting your mom. She does have a very nice quiet reserve, and I think you get it from her. She seems to do a lot for you in terms of looking after the kids, and it speaks volumes that that you trust her with them. I hate whenever ANYONE runs into my heels with a shopping cart. I have a feeling there's a nerve in there that automatically triggers a blind rage. I heard somewhere that people with parents who were hard to read become very inferential. They don't take what people say much at face value and always try to find the subtext. I think I'm like that, at least a little. Do you think you're like that, or do you think having an inscrutable mom made you more inclined to take people literally?
Janet, thank you for sharing about the pool in Oakland; I think Oakland is pretty convenient from where I live. It looks like loads of fun and perhaps us NorCal gals should all meet up there one day. Speaking of Oakland, a daddy friend of ours is playing jazz at a brunch place there on Franklin & 17th. I can't remember it's name but it was an old tile factory and was an Indian buffet for a long time too. Anyone interested in joining? Our kids will be there.
I just tried to look up the restaurant. DH and I used to eat there regularly when it was the Indian place, pre-kids. I loved the old tiles all over the walls. But it looks like the live music is in the evenings? Are you talking about tonight? After kid bedtime (7 PM) we can't go out. We have used up our date this year already.
For me, having an inscrutable mom made me take everything literally. I'm terrible at subtext. I didn't even know it existed. It helped that she is so placid and easy-going. I didn't have to worry about her taking offense if I didn't meet expectations in some way. On the other hand, I also didn't learn a lot of normal social rules like greeting people when they come home, saying good morning to people when I enter work, things like that. It takes some effort on my part to remember that people like these things. My dad comes here and walks in and doesn't talk to any of us, just sits on the couch and waits for the kids to come run over to him.
DH pays a ton of attention to subtext.
Suja, thank you so much for that article. It reminds me a little bit of this one, which has been posted around a time or two. I liked how someone still justified in the comments that she still wanted to keep reminding people to enjoy at it all now because they grow up so fast, but she doesn't mean to stress people out by it, just encourage them to relax.
Ash, I have ridiculous teeth too. I really hope my children do not inherit that from me. The reason I had root canals on both my canines to begin with is because they were so high up on my gums that the braces pulling them down so far damaged the roots. I also had 2 teeth in the roof of my mouth that were FACING THE WRONG WAY that I had to have surgically removed. So freaky. I remember being in so much pain. I was laying on the couch with a pile of gauze next to me that I kept having to change since it was bleeding and overhearing my mom crying to my dad about how bad she felt for me. He went out and bought a vcr that day, after they'd said we'd never buy one. Softies.
My brother has been giving me the cold shoulder all week because I turned down his invite to be my dad's date at his friend's wedding this weekend. That's right. I wasn't invited by her or my dad, nor do I really want to go...and I'm supposed to feel bad that I'm not going??? Goof. He gets mad at me randomly sometimes when I don't do what he wants me to do especially when it involves me choice to "not have a life anymore" now that I have kids. I think he misses getting sloshed with me. lol. Anyway, I ususally have to just wait it out when he's pissy until his drama-self gets over it. But bigger drama surpassed his annoyance with me today. He called me 3 times in a row and the first 2 times I ignored it because I was the mediator in a 4 way game of candyland but the 3rd time I thought it must be an emergency so I answered. And boy was it. A fb "friend" made a homophobic comment and my brother responded that he was unfriending him before he realized that he couldn't do that from his phone and didn't want to appear that he was making empty threats so he NEEDED me to immediately log into his account and unfriend the guy for him. So. Funny. I hope I'm forgiven now for my totally rude behavior of turning down a non-existent wedding invite.
LOL, Bridget, you are a good sister! I just this past week have deleted my brother from my friend's list...he was one of those people who never posted anything and never commented on anything and I am fed up with him any way, so I 'unfriended' him.
My MIL used to never have anything to do with us. Barely acknowledged we existed and that included Nolan. After DHs stepdad passed (whom we shed no tears for) she became much more involved. She tries (in her way) to make an effort to spend time with Nolan (despite the fact that Nolan still screams/cries when she picks him up).
DH is the oldest and my MIL's only non-stepdad kid. He ended up being raised by his grandparents (for reasons that we won't get into) so he's always been kind of the 'black sheet' to his mom, which is sad. I'm glad she's getting more involved in his life though, he loves his mom so much, even with her obvious neglect throughout the years.
Crazy busy at work or I would reply more. TGIF
Oh.... They couldn't get me in for my ultrasound until the 15th.... Better than waiting another month til my next appointment though.
My pregnancy w/ B was pretty crazy at first. Firstly, I hadn't had a period in 3 months, and suddenly I had a BFP. So they couldn't tell me my due date or how far along I was without an US. Then when I went for my first US, it was too early to see anything. Not even the tiniest little spec of a fetus. My blood hCG was kinda high, and they had me come in a few times for more bloodwork, so they could see it was rising maybe a little too rapidly. For awhile, we were wondering, "is it twins? is it a molar pregnancy?" I really didn't know. I had the option of going in for my next US in one week or two weeks. The mamas in "Expecting" encouraged me to wait two weeks instead, just to give myself the highest likelihood of seeing something. And if they found nothing, then at least we knew that they should've seen something after waiting all that time. So anyway, you all know how that pregnancy turned out. My point is... waiting might not necessarily be a bad thing, because your results will be more likely easy to interpret the longer you wait. (((***HUGS***)))

My midwife does not have an ultrasound in office. So that wasn't even an option.
Transvaginal would be preferable, but I'll be 13wks at that point the abdominal should show something. I don't need to see much, just a fuzzy blurry moving baby will be just fine by me.
and thank you, I know this can be 'normal' and I feel silly for worrying. Really, really silly, but I can't help it and poor hubs, he walked in last night and said "I can't stop thinking about our baby" and just walked out. He just can't express himself. Its harder for him right now I think.

Atlantans visiting Boston were among the folks ordered to take cover when the manhunt for the marathon bombing suspects was active. Some of those local residents returned home on Friday to find out that the second suspect had been captured. "We were watching it on a plane as everything kind of developed, so there was a little bit of applause when they showed on the screen he had been bought into custody," said Matt Bryant.Bryant says he was in Boston for his job. Other passengers described a ghost town, especially in Watertown, which was under lockdown most of the day."There was like a ghost town. Nobody was out and about, so it just kind of seemed kind of eerie," said one man.Gregory Scarborough and his wife came from Boston to visit family in Atlanta, but missed their first flight."I'm really glad they caught him. We were inside, we changed our flight because they didn't want us to leave the house," said Gregory Scarborough. With Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's capture, there is relief in Boston and across the nation, but questions remain about what prompted the bombings in the first place."I'm sure they're very happy up in Boston. It was a tragic event earlier in the week. I'm sure a lot of people were hoping it would come to this conclusion. Justice hopefully will come about when everything is said and done," Bryant said. Airline passengers gave high praise to law enforcement that brought about the arrest.

If your reaction is, "What the heck is, House Of Cards?" Then immediately get on Netflix and start watching the show tonight. It sucks you in like no other and before you know it you are hooked! The first episode wasn't that great, but i kept going and wow it really takes you on a ride. Season 2 will be out on Valentines day, how about that for a present for all the fans. A few words come to mind when I think of Frank Underwood: (Played amazingly by Kevin Spacey) Conniving, intense, backstabbing just to name a few.
What word would you use to describe Kevin Spacey's character?

CNET editors choose the best 802.11ac networking devices, including wireless routers.
Though not perfect, the D-Link DIR-857 HD Media Router 3000 makes a great router for homes thanks to its top-notch performance on the 5GHz band and a nice set of features.
Despite a few minor shortcomings, the DIR-880L is still one of the best 802.11ac routers on the market.
The D-Link DIR-605L Cloud Router makes a great solution for those who just need a simple wireless network to share the Internet access among devices. Its cloud-based management feature also proves to be a helpful and practical bonus.
At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.
The D-Link DIR-827 is a very good true dual-band router that needs a firmware upgrade so it can live up to its potential.
The unique-looking and compact D-Link Amplifi Whole Home Router 1000 (DIR-645) makes a very good investment for homes that need a fast wired network and good Wi-Fi signal coverage.
With the latest firmware update, the D-Link DIR-655 is arguably one of the best among single-band Wireless-N routers on the market.
The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
The D-Link Xtreme N Dual Band Gigabit Router DIR-825 is a stable performer with great features and an excellent Web interface. The outdated and bulky design, relatively short range, and merely average throughput, however, lessen its appeal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DrJay Excellent quality, looks great. Very well made. The fabric is top quality and the stitching is very nice. I referred to the size chart and went by that rather than just going by the shirt size. I'm glad I did - these shirts run large but the size chart made that clear. I normally wear a medium shirt but per the size chart I wear a small in this style and it fit perfectly. May 10, 2012

I bought the Cal King size sheet and it fit wonderfully onto my 15" mattress. No problem with meeting the depth required. I however thought that these sheets would be softer than they are. With 650 thread count these sheets are solid and well made, but they feel a bit scratchy and they come out of the wash a wrinkled mess. I later purchased a set of 450 thread count sateen sheets that have a much softer feel.
We are spoiled by our Italian made top quality Egyptian high count sheets. The type that retail for $600-$900 per set or on sale for $300+ if you get lucky. We changed our king size bed to an adjustable king (2 XL twin mattresses) so I ordered these hoping for a decent fitted bottom sheet. Trust me, if you are used to top quality Egyptian cotton these "650" count will feel like cardboard by comparison. They were softer to the touch when I opened the pack, then I washed them before making the bed. Which meant it was too late to return them for a refund. I tried washing them 3 more times hoping to soften them up. No such luck. They fit the mattresses perfectly (XL Twin) UNTIL you raise the top or bottom to an elevated position which is the whole point of having an adjustable bed. And the sheets still feel scratchy compared to our old sheets. I cannot recommend these to folks who have an adjustable bed (the fitted bottom snaps off when the bed is raised) or people who are spoiled like we are. I only tried these because I have not found any top quality sheets from Italy that are made for the adjustable king size bed (with two XL twin mattresses). Currently I am waiting for the sheets I ordered from �*****� a company that specializes in adjustable bed sheeting. I've learned my lesson - do not order sheets online for an adjustable bed. And don't believe that all sheets that are made of Egyptian cotton and have a high thread count are the same. They aren't. I already knew that you get what you pay for so I blame myself for wasting the money not Overstock.com.
After 1 wash they started pilling. After 2 washes it is like sleeping on burlap.
I would have to say these are the best sheets I have purchased. They are extremely well made and the texture is like sateen, but not cold or hot. Great proportions for those with deep matresses. Highly recommend this product and I will buy these sheets in another color.
These are the softest, smoothest sheets! They fit a double-sided pillowtop mattress without having to pull and stretch. Great value!
I expected 650 thread count to be really soft. I purchase 300 thread count and it was softer. So I don't know if it is the Egyptian part that makes it less soft or this product isn't as it should be.
I would buy these again I would buy these again I would buy these again I would buy these again I would fucking buy these again I hate doing reviews But yes I would buy these sheets again
Finally found sheets with deep enough pockets to fit over a mattress pad. Very comfortable to the touch.
Bought some egyptian cotton sheets from Overstock several years ago. Went back for another set, but they were sold out. I have bought 3 other sets elsewhere since. One was so heavy, I could hardly make the bed. Not soft either. Next was soft, but more like curtain sheers. Third was a flesh color, not taupe. By the was, these are not ivory. They are a light taupe, which is exactly what I wanted, but had defaulted to ivory after the flesh color arrived. Not a bargain, but worth every cent.
I ordered a different set first, and the quality wasn't great. I exchanged for these and LOVE them. Extremely thick and soft, they are very comfortable. I have another set from another store, and they feel so cheap compared to these! We ordered the dark grey and they are gorgeous. Highly recommend!

Witnesses told 12News a lightning strike caused a fire at the Lumberton home of former Beaumont police chief Tom Scofield. A spokesperson for the Lumberton Fire Department Tuesday evening said department investigators are still working to determine if lightning is the cause of the fire.
The home is west of Lumberton in the 7500 block of Highway 421.
The fire happened shortly before 7 p.m. Tuesday. A neighbor said the Scofield family was at church when the fire started. The neighbor said one of the Scofield's dogs died in the fire, but 12News has not been able to reach the family to confirm.
The Lumberton Fire Department was assisted by Sour Lake and Kountze fire departments. Tanker trucks had to take water from a distant fire hydrant because the house is in a rural area.
Highway 421 was closed while firefighters battled the fire. A Lumberton firefighter Tuesday night said the department plans to be on scene into the early morning hours Wednesday.
No injuries were reported in the fire.
