Congrats, Gillian!

I'm still so far away from that & losing hope. :( I have 2 qualified, 1 that's 1 show away & 1 that's 2 shows away & don't have #5 yet. So, probably no stage walk for me, but I'm not giving up, yet.


YOU'VE GOT SOME SIGNED UP I KEEP GETTING, WELL...MAYBE,...LATER, AND NONE SIGN UP :(
 
Congrats!

Yet another cheffer here with "What's going to work? TEAMWORK!" running through her head...LOL!
 
Congratulations! May Today's Success Be the Beginning of Tomorrow's Achievements.
 
I had "teamwork" in my head all night long last night. My husband thought I was insane!:D

The puppy episode is my 3 year old's favorite too because they let the puppy outside to go pee pee, and her new "job" is to let our dog out. Hey- if she lets the dog out so I don't have to and feels like a wonder pet doing it who am I to stop her??


funny you mention this one because I did in my original post to you and then decided to edit it out.
but since you brought it up :D .....my DD who is 14 always seems to walk in on that episode so she says to me one day, "mom all they do is talk about pee pee on this show!"
i guess you really had to be here and hear her say it but it was so funny.
 
you must have been posting your pic while I was typing.
you look fantastic....by the time I was 29 weeks I looked as if i was having triplets and my usual weight is about 110 !

I did see your original post and was LMAO! There are only 5 or 6 episodes I think because they keep playing the same ones over and over!

Thanks- these days I am not feeling fantastic! I was 114 when I got pregnant this time, and am already bigger than when I delivered both my other children. You would think with all the toddler chasing I am doing these days that I wouldn't gain a pound!
 
You look awesome! BTW, I haven't seen 114lbs since I was 12!

LOL! I was 120 pre-pregnancy with my other kids but eating string chesse all the time and constantly pulling kids off the dining room table is a GREAT way to drop 6 lbs apparently!
 
Don't feel bad - I was 110 before I got pregnant with #2 and 164 at the end of pregnancy. It took me 3 years to drop the weight (still not all the way there) - you look great for 3rd trimester!

:eek: That is the exact look on my husband's face if we had more :eek:

I always wanted 2 or 4, but ALL OF A SUDDEN 3 is looking might fine!! :D
 
we have 3. every once in while I'll say "how about another?" he'll say, "go find another husband while your at it"
I really just say it to irritate him though :D 3 is good for me too.
although mine are all 5 years apart 4,9 & 14 (I tend to procrastinate!)

I procrastinate too, but for some reason (please don't explain, I KNOW the reason) I will have 3 under 4!!
 
I think you look beautiful! Don't seem puffy at all.

My parents were going to have four. . .I was the third and final. My siblings always tease me about being the straw that broke the camel's back. :rolleyes:
 
LOL at least you "know" !
sometimes I wish mine were closer but I guess both ways have their pros & cons.
I do have a live-in sitter though!
DD that is, who has a busier social life than me!
 
Oh, you look so cute, Gillian! And you look great. With my 3rd, I started at 117 lbs and gained about 13 pounds up until about 28 weeks. Then I developed gestational diabetes, lost 6 pounds, gained back 4 more! It was a roller coaster ride for sure. I gained 11 pounds total and STILL had an 8 1/2 pound baby. I told my husband that if I had gained the normal amount of weight I probably would have given birth to a beast!!!

LOL! Thanks Jeanine! I was the baby too so I got that a lot. I just told my older sisters that my parents didn't get it right with them so they kept trying until they got me!!

Reba- I know what you mean about the live in sitter! My SIL has her little sisters living with them and they are 12 and 14. They cook, clean, and babysit! My SIL hasn't taken BOTH her kids anywhere, much less a grocery store since she had her second baby.
 
Awesome!

My ds LOVES the Wonder Pets.
 
Just talked to HO and they told me that my Director agreement is being mailed on April 10th! YEA!!! I think they usually wait til the 10th of the following month to do things like that. I've been in this for 8 years and
NOW IS THE TIME!!! TOOT! TOOT!
 
Congrats! It is great feeling isn't it? Enjoy all the perks of Directorship!!!:D
 
Well, not there yet but getting closer by the day! Just gotta get them all qualified!!!
 
Way to go, GIllian!!! That's so exciting. YOu will LOVE IT!!

I just can't keep up with all these promotions!:)
