I emailed her, but it always takes a couple of days for her to get back to me. Ugh! Stress!

I would at least offer to give him some money...it's going to take a lot of his time to edit the pictures.

Nevermind, I just saw the price. I only paid $25 or so for my first one...I don't wanna spend another $60 even though it is prettier than the one I already have. Bummer.

How about you take a picture with it in your hair!

Probably not too late, it would probably just be extra expensive! I just want everyone to enjoy their vacation and not be squished. But, I guess they already knew they were overweight when they purchased their flight, right? I just don't wanna hear anyone bitching....ugh. I am dreading it already!

Awesome!!!!

Oh, I wanted to ask you if you had to get an extra seat for your one guest you asked about before? I have a SIL that is overweight and both of Jay's sisters are overweight too and now I am worried they might be uncomfortable.

I think you guys are right....I think they will be extra careful now. Unfortunately, my doctor only delivers at this hospital. I just have to wait and see what happens in 4 months.

Quote: Originally Posted by Morgan i think the weight limit is 2 bags at 50 lbs. i'm not sure but you might want to double check. Ya, it is 50 pounds, not 70. 70 was for first class. However, I can't find if that is 50 pounds per bag or combined?

Good to hear!

Have you thought about getting a note from your Doctor saying that you have to have it? Then if anyone hassles you at least you have something sort of official! I don't know if the airline peeps would care about my note though? I hope it will be okay?

Now there is an idea! I never even thought about that. I tell ya, I have too much going on in my mind to let me think lately! Thanks!

Can you tell me how big it is? Can you also tell me how long it took to get it? I like that one better than mine, but I leave in about a week!

I am so MAD! The damn disco isn 't available on the Friday I am getting married. Just after the conversation we had with it possibly being closed. Now what? We only have 6 drinkers in our group of 30....and most of those 30 are kids. I am not going to pay for cocktail hour for people to drink when they don't drink! Now what? I need to have a first dance!!!

I would assume so too...I just wanted to make sure. Makes sense that it would, right?

I have searched and searched and can't find the answer. Anyone know off hand what Aeromexico's policy is on carrying on a pillow. Would it just be considered my personal item since I am not bringing my purse or anything? I have a super bad back and really need my pillow. I have Googled and looked on Aeromexico's website but no luck.

My resort offers all those things. The Gran Bahia Principe has 3 resorts right next to each other. Tulum, Akumal, and Coba...they are all located in Akumal and have a great beach. Prices are pretty affordable. I would definitely contact a TA. Mine specializes in weddings and honeymoons! We are getting married on the Tulum side in the beautiful gazebo!

So, no one is including their mothers in the sand ceremony? We intend to.

Ya, that is reassuring, I guess. Still scary. It really could happen anywhere, but still, ya know?

Steph, how are you?

I talked to my mom about it earlier (she is a nurse) and she said that the nurses are always supposed to be aware of what they are administering. Just because the pharamcist give it to them to give to the patient, they should always question something that doesn't look right. I can't believe one baby has died....breaks my heart! We will see what happens in the next 4 month.

This is freaking me out! It would be a little different if it was 1 baby that was given 100 times the amount of heparin, but 17?! One of the babies has died, but they are unsure if it was related to the heparin OD. Newborn dies; not known if drug had role : Corpus Christi Local | Caller-Times | Infant seriously ill before blood thinner error By Jaime Powell (Contact) Originally published 03:54 a.m., July 9, 2008 Updated 03:54 a.m., July 9, 2008 One newborn is dead after a Christus Spohn Hospital South pharmacy error that led to as many as 17 babies getting as much as 100 times the recommended dosage of the blood thinner heparin. It's still unclear what role, if any, the heparin played in the infant's death, because the child already was seriously ill and being cared for in the neonatal intensive care unit before dying Tuesday morning, said Dr. Richard Davis, chief medical officer for Christus Spohn Health System. Heparin routinely is used in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit to flush intravenous lines and prevent blood clots from forming. The dosing error was discovered by nurses Sunday night, during routine blood work, hospital spokeswoman Sherri Carr-Deer said. "With babies, that is usually a heel stick and the nurses noticed that the blood was not clotting," Carr-Deer said. They discontinued the drug's use immediately and gave newborns who needed it medications to counter its effects. One infant remains in critical condition in the unit, and was in that condition for several days before the heparin dosages, Davis said. Three infants have been discharged and 12 are stable and remain in intensive care. Officials said an autopsy on the deceased infant will be conducted but did not say when that would occur. A preliminary investigation indicates that the error happened during a process Thursday in which pharmacy personnel mixed the heparin with other solutions, including saline. There was a double-verification process in place in which the pharmacy technician prepared the medication and the pharmacist signed off on it. The heparin first was administered in the neonatal intensive care unit Friday. It's unclear how many of the children were dosed, because there were syringes from a different drug batch in medical cabinets in the unit, Davis said. "Our pharmacies have very specific processes to follow in the preparation of medications," said Bruce Holstien, president and CEO of Christus Spohn Health System. "Obviously in this case something went terribly wrong." The hospital's immediate actions included a review of policies and procedures with pharmacy staff and the implementation of a third layer in the drug verification process, meant as a stopgap measure to prevent similar incidents, Holstien said. Two members of the hospital's pharmacy staff have taken voluntary leave, pending an investigation that could take as long as two weeks, Holstien said, adding state and federal agencies including the Texas Department of Health Services and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have been notified. Emily Palmer, a spokeswoman with the Texas Department of Health Services, said the agency is aware of the situation, but said she could not disclose whether there is a complaint or investigation because of confidentiality rules. "We license hospitals and within that licensing there are a number of things we can do," she said. "We can make visits, we can make recommendations, we can make requirements and there can be penalties. This is speaking in general about hospital licensing." The incidents also have been reported to the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations, an independent, nonprofit agency that accredits and certifies more than 15,000 hospitals in the U.S. including those in the Spohn system, Holstien said. During the past 18 months, there have been roughly 250 medical errors nationwide involving heparin and children a year or younger, according to U.S. Pharmacopeia, the public standards-setting authority for all prescription and over-the-counter medicines, dietary supplements and other health-care products manufactured and sold in the United States. In September 2006, three infants died in an Indianapolis neonatal intensive care unit after receiving a 1,000-fold overdose of heparin. And in November 2007, the infant twins of actor Dennis Quaid and his wife, Kimberly, were the victims of a nearly identical mistake, an overdose of heparin at Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where the pharmacy dispensed the wrong dose to the nursing station, according to reports from the Associated Press. In December 2007, Baxter Healthcare Corp., the drug's maker, introduced a new drug safety initiative that includes labeling with a 20 percent larger font size, a different color combination, and a red cautionary tear-off label. On vials of the drugs meant for adults, the label now warns that it should not be given to infants. Davis said labeling likely had nothing to do with the Spohn incident because the pharmacy mixed the drug batch itself.

Prayer already said....you and your family will be in my thoughts today.

We are going to need a funnel. I am going to make a dark pink one out of cardstock. Our moms are putting sand in first then us. I am using glasses to fill up my vase though, so it will get full faster.

If you want a beautiful beach head more south to Tulum or Akumal. Good luck in your search. I was originally a Cabo bride!

I need to practice too! I wish Macy's down here carried it. We are moving next month back to our hometown which only has Macy's. Guess I will have to order online or just drive 3 hours back up here to buy when I run out.

I think they are cute. I don't like the color though. But, that's probably not your color anyhow!
