Think if I stuffed him in a FedEx box and shipped him priority overnight,
he'd get there in one piece? Oh, no, wait, he chews cardboard. That wouldn't work.

Give him a puppy sleeping pill and wrap him in a twin sized quilt.

LOL, I like the Lands End version of these shoes. In the summer, I
wear them everywhere. Kim TerriLee in WA wrote in message ... Birkenstock-like sandals!!! They are my answer to shoes. Even the cheap ones (I can't afford the real ones) you can get at Wally World have good arch support. Easy to slide into & out of, come in blue, black and brown. |

Terri: Those size 42 are way too big for you. I wear American
size 8 and my European size is 39. I just took off my favorite (only) real Birks to check. I think 42 is even too big for Butterfly .... my Ryka Athletic Shoes are 40.5 European = 8.5 American, per the box. Don't feel bad Terri, I was hoping to bribe the Butterfly for those Birks too!! LOL PAT in VA/USA TerriLee in WA wrote: I have a pair of shoes with that kind of sizing. I'll look to see what they say when I get home and get back to you. Thanks for the info. Butterfly wrote: They have the number 42 on the bottom (think that is the size?) I usually wear a size 9 Ladies if that is of any help they do have the ankle strap if that makes a diff..... ((((only saying this as I think they maybe too big for TerriLee)))) Trade....purple/butterfly/blue/Christmas/magician's wand FQ or 2 would be fine. Butterfly (I don't do ebay ) TerriLee in WA wrote: Oh!! I'm sorry, Butterfly. That's terrible. Perhaps we could work out a deal - if you still have them, and they're size 8, maybe I could purchase them from you? I usually only pay $5-7/pair at WalMart, for the "knockoff" variety, but I'd be thrilled to have a "real" pair. They are truly my favorite foot wear. I guess I should be more careful when I recommend them to folks. (note to self: just because they work for you, doesn't mean they will for everyone.) |

Ya, but he's such a cutie.

I don't know if it's my lack of training ability but he isn't all that obediant. He's still too excitable. I can't get him to sit when he's excited. He gets his butt close to the floor, but then it winds in circles and he can't keep it still. I've been trying to teach him not to jump on people. If I remind him, he will jump, but not touch.

Thanks. I think the hospital is pretty progressive. It is actually a
'birthing place', where there are 8 rooms with hospital beds but otherwise hotel like, a jacuzzi, etc. If complications arise, they ship you off to the main hospital, which is not too far away.... it is affiliated with Swedish Medical Hospital. I am supposed to go visit it one of these days. So I think I'll go with their gowns.. but I was thinking of afterwards, when my parents will come into the room, etc... you do stay in there for at least one day, right? Diana Curtis wrote: No. You dont need a nightgown to give birth in a hospital. A comfy roomy Tshirt might be better, if the hospital is progressive ... but most times its just easier to put on one of their horrible gowns for delivery and something comfortable to nurse in for afterwards. Birthing may be a miracle but its messy at times. HTH Diana -- http://photos.yahoo.com/lunamom44 "Dr. Quilter" wrote in message ... see, my problem would be that I don't own any nightgowns... actually being reading books about giving birth and they tell you to get a nightgown and stuff to take to the hospital.

there is no comfortable bra size/style for my figure, as far as I have
been able to see, unless you count one of the maternity bras I bought that is pretty good. I have smallish breasts but a pretty large rib cage, and they must be in odd positions because the underwires kill me. Sport bras are usually made of quite thick fabric. I found a couple of bralettes that I like, or I can use those seamless longer bralettes that go to your belly button... but most of the time I go braless, since I don't need the support. I only use them if I need coverage...hopefully that won't change after Sofia! BTW, there is a place here in Seattle that makes custom bras, kind of modifications of sports bras, I can find out the name for those that are interested (I had seen their catalogue before, and the other day I found it is around the corner from our place). Julia in MN wrote: I wear a sports bra almost all the time. The ones that I wear have a bit of shirring in the center front, so I don't have that uniboob, speed-bump-on-the-chest look. My lumpectomy left me a bit lopsided, with my left side being about a cup size smaller than the right, so I can't wear most bras without some sort of "enhancer". I do have a nice silicone enhancer that I can pop into the left side when I wear a "dress-up" bra. A bra isn't my favorite piece of apparel, but it seems to me that if your bra is so uncomfortable that you take it off as soon as you get home, perhaps you are wearing the wrong size and/or style for your figure. Perhaps a good bra fitter could help you. Julia in MN -- Dr. Quilter Ambassador of Extraordinary Aliens |

Great, I had one of those.... but from what I heard happens after
delivery for a few days, the white pants might be a bad idea, uh? Lizzy Taylor wrote: Dr. Quilter wrote: see, my problem would be that I don't own any nightgowns... actually being reading books about giving birth and they tell you to get a nightgown and stuff to take to the hospital. Do I really need that? If you are not a nightie wearer I would recommend a PJ top that unbuttons all the way down - much easier for feeding, I think I had some long button through flannel nightshirts when the boys were born.

oh, believe me, no pics will be taken of me, I've seen the pics of my
friends and they look so exhausted it is not pretty! plenty of baby pictures, but no mommy pictures!!! ) Jan Dunaway wrote: Depends on your hospital and how your labor goes. Mostly you want something that looks decent that you can put on after the birth when everyone comes to visit or pics are taken. Before wear either the hospital gown or something you don't care if you never see again. :-) Jan Dr. Quilter wrote: see, my problem would be that I don't own any nightgowns... actually being reading books about giving birth and they tell you to get a nightgown and stuff to take to the hospital.
