    Hi Chicken! I'm dying to hear how you are doing.  I have some weird internal rule that won't allow me to lurk on the p/g boards.

    I haven't seen Karen post in a while.  Rach is around here and there.

    I rarely post on any other boards. I'm mostly a lurked these days. So I'm 15 weeks, 2nd tri (I can't believe it I've never gotten this far), everything with the babies are good. Two are 4oz and one is a little over 3oz. I have to go for my 1hr glucose this weekend. Hopefully I pass. I did find out that tentatively I am having 2 girls and a boy.:-) Though, It's still early and things can change between now and March 9. I had to share because we aren't telling family until March 9. Oh and the Dr told me to eat all the ice cream I can. WILL DO, Doc!

    Yay - thanks so much for the update.  I can't believe you are so far along.  How have you been feeling.  Was the morning sickness three times as bad?  Have you started to shop for anything?  Two girls and a boys sounds like alot of fun.

    My morning sickness hasn't been bad ...I mean there are day where I randomly throw up but its mostly just not feeling well; that 'drank to much the night before' not feeling well. It's getting better though. I've heard horror stories from singleton pregnancies so I'm not gonna complain about being ill. I'm happy about the 2 girls and one boy; I was hoping for a mix. Jcath good luck on your betas, I'll keep ky fingers crossed for you.

    Yay Chicken!!  I too am mostly a lurker trying to stay updated on everyone who helped me along the way.  That is so exciting about two girls and a boy.  My good friend had 2 girls and a boy in October and they are absolutely perfect!!! So many babies to love on :)

    I think Karen posted that she was losing her job and no longer had access to a computer but that she would try to post when she could.

    GL Jcath on the betas.

    Good to "see" you Rach!!

    Take care,

    I give up trying to get a ticker.  I have a DD that is 2.5 years old and is awesome.  Maybe I'll add a quote to distinguish myself.  Hmmm.  How about...
