Hi Flukette and welcome. I hope you feel at home here. Have a look around and get to know us. How is the new Mom thing going? Are you getting much sleep?
Regards,
BB

Hi Flukette,
Having a girl is so different from a boy, isn't it? Did she come into the world shrilling? Mine did. It was quite a difference from my boy.

Thanks! Sleep? What's sleep? Started back to work yesterday and I'm thriving on coffee and Mt. Dew. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I still remember DS's first day at the sitters when I returned to work...sometimes, going to work becomes a welcome change!!! Regards, BB

I've been up since 3:30AM...but it's hard to be frustrated when that beautiful face is smiling and cooing at you.

Actually, the first day back wasn't too bad. The day before was tougher. She's with my in-laws during the day so I have no worries what so ever. I have MAJOR guilt, but no anxieties.

Yes, he's always on. That's what I loved about him when I met him (well, when I ran into him again at college...we knew each other in high school but I thought he was annoying). I still love that about him...unless the joke is about me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, well, that's when I was young and stupid. Now I'm older and wiser. I am a very lucky girl. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hey, there!
BTW...I think you missed the email I sent you earlier today. Can I flex chocolate since it's an addiction?

You MIGHT be able to, if you can get your doctor to prescribe it! Tell him/her that the dark chocolate is full of anti-oxidants and stimulants and you feel a cold coming on, and a little depression... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
