I've been to Cabo in February, May, June, and September. My favorite is June, so if that's one of your choices I'd go with that. February is a little cool, September can be more stormy (although it doesn't rain much there's always the threat of hurricanes), and the later the summer gets the hotter it is. I think June is just perfect High 90's during the day, low 70s at night.

Wow Jackie! Love Love LOVE them You look gorgeous and got some amazing shots... now I'm dying for the wedding pics!

Karma the room is gorgeous!

Martha, healthy babies move at least 10 times an hour. It's less movement, not excessive movement that you should worry about. However, as a nurse I highly value a mother's intuition. If you ever feel like something's "just not right" it never hurts to call your doc. Mind you, they may laugh if you call at 3am because your baby is moving too much, but if you ever think something else is wrong it's never a bad thing to get checked out.

WoW Rebecca, those are amazing! You are so gorgeous! Nathaniel did an awesome job capturing the emotion of the day. You and Chris look so happy together. I see tenderness, joy, sassiness, fun, everything a wedding should be... all in these pictures Gorgeous!

No problem. I edited your poll. Good luck with the new job

Calia I added a poll for you... I don't have any personal experience with this type of bag, but I like the look of #2.

Happy (late) birthday Amy Hope you're having fun this summer!

I'm so sorry Calia. Beloved pets are just like family members and it's so hard to see them suffer. My condolences at the loss of your friend...

I totally copied Edyta and used the same place that she did, and the same photographer... the pics are in my Trash the Dress slideshow in my sig...

Did you get those bella bands yet Lizz? Those are working so well for me. Here's the ebay seller where I got the "knock off" ones: 3 Bloomn Belly Bands maternity pant jean bella tube top - eBay (item 310074254988 end time Aug-13-08 21:00:00 PDT) I still haven't bought a stitch of maternity clothing and am doing just fine in all my old pants, jeans, etc using these bella bands. I know some girls said they didn't work well for them, but they're great for me- but I have a little bit of a booty so maybe that's why they stay on I normally wear an 8/10 pre-preg, and bought the Mediums. I almost think I could have gone with small though- they seem to fun a little big.

I've pretty much stayed out of this thread because there's just so much I could say but usually don't have time. But, I have to comment on the circ thing... it's a very personal decision that is passionately fought on either side. But, it's a personal choice. End of story. There are alot of things that are done differently in the US than in other parts of the world, but that's the great part about living in the US. Choice. Most of you know I'm an OB RN. I work in Labor & Delivery, and I'm also a Special Care Nursery Nurse. I assist with circs. All of our babies are given lidocaine and a sucrose-dipped paci (which btw, non-nutritive sucking is found to be a much stronger analgesic than pain medication, do some research on it- it's really interesting, esp. for those of you that might be against pacis). Then the babies are given Tylenol for pain and the circ wound dressed with cold vaseline (also for pain relief) and gauze. So to say that they're not given anything for pain is completely false. Is it pleasant? Nope. Is it natural? Nope. Would I have my own child circumcised? Yes. Why? It's a personal choice. Do I think people that aren't circumsized or against circumcision are wrong? Nope. But I'd like to see the facts straight on both sides To me there are so many things that are "unnatural" that technically are on the same line as circumcision- and if you want to go with the "babies are perfect just the way they're born" notion- what about babies with defects that can be corrected with surgery? What about cleft lip/palate babies? Are they perfect? Would it be better to leave them in their natural state? In many parts of the world where there isn't access to medicine people are left that way. I think those that get to have the surgery would probably say they are much better off. Totally not the same thing as a circumcision, but definitely my favorite rebuttal to the notion that babies are born perfect. Unfortunately not. So to those of you that won't circumsize. Kudos to you for standing up for something you believe in. And to those that will, the same. It's a decision between you, your s/o, and in the future, your child. It's no one else's business. Don't let anyone make you feel bad no, despite your choice. Off my soapbox now...

Congratulations Maura!

Mine is a picture of Jeff while we were in Cabo in June... so hot

My dad sent me this... too funny: YouTube - When the wife doesn't listen

Whenever I have to print on vellum, I use my inkjet and I set my printer to the lowest setting (uses the least ink). Then, I lay the pieces out and let them dry overnight. That usually works for me. I also have noticed that some printers print better on vellum than others (I have an Epson and an HP- the Epson is actually better).

I'm late Glenda, but wanted to still wish you a happy birthday Big Hugs...

You're so welcome Ann. I can't believe we're on the other side of this now, and reflecting back on everything that happened. You're such a strong amazing person and I'm so glad everything turned out as well as it did

Fabulous pics Jill... you're not unphotogenic crazy girl- you look amazing! You and your DH are a great looking couple. I heart Elizabeth too

Omg Lizz that sounds so painful... I'm so relieved it wasn't something with the baby though. My heart did a little jolt when I saw you were in the ER today. I hope it feels better soon

Great review- you look gorgeous! Congratulations

Congratulations! And a HUGE Thank You... I've never seen such a cool thread. Dreams Tulum should be paying you

This is Niblets laughing at your boss on your birthday... Have a great day!

I'm pretty sure they were 3x3 candles, just some cheapos that I got on sale at Hobby Lobby. Judging by the picture, I'd say the image is 2" wide by 3" tall, or thereabouts.

Maura your hard work has paid off- you look fantastic!
