    OK so I know it's a little early, but I have to blab to someone -- DH and I are pg with our first! Yay! We're only 5 weeks along, so I know anything could happen but its sooooo hard not to tell everyone I see. Obviously we are both very excited. We're planning to wait a little longer maybe 8-10 weeks till we start telling people. He almost let the cat out of the bag at work yesterday. Our parents don't even know yet! I see my family MD on Wednesday for labs and whatever else happens at the first appt. Woo!

     

    PS. Kat - your daughter is gorgeous and I love her name!

    Bikram Yoga Anyone????

    I am completely yoga-ignorant, but a friend from work and I just started doing this a few weeks ago. I gotta say I didn't think I'd like it very much because it's the complete opposite of every other sport/activity I do (hockey, karate, boxing, kickboxing, golf, ball...) However, I'm addicted!! I've got a few lingering sports injuries that have left me chronically sore and terribly(sp?) NOT flexible. Now that I've been going once/twice a week, my joints feel a bit stronger and my muscles aren't nearly as tight after all the other sports. Not sure if I would enjoy other yogas as much though. I love the heat and the sweat!!

    A few of my favs:

    urbanspoon
    yelp
    i-murmur (gives heart murmur sounds & descriptions. i'm studying to be an NP, but yes i am a big dork)
    NYC transit - for all the subway lines
    shazam
    Love having my calendar linked up w/ my laptop & gmail - so convenient!
    I'm a dork too. I've got and ECG app and an ACLS app on my phone. I work ICU and a small rural ER dept. Most times its us RNs running codes until the physician shows up. The ACLS is handy to have in a pinch when "it" is hitting the fan and you can't think straight. One of our docs has it on his phone as well!

    My other favs are:

    Twitterific Premium
    Tetris
    Bookworm
    Moonlite Mahjong
    Facebook
    FemCal (we're TTC and I find it easier than FF)
    LoseIt
    NewsCanada
    The Score Mobile
    iVideo
    TimmyMe (locates any Tim Horton's in the area -- a must for any Canuck)

    My ring is turning gold already!!

    I've got a 14K white gold E-ring and wedding band. My E-ring is only starting to yellow slightly and only really at the bottom. My jeweller suggested that I have it dipped this spring. I've been wearing it since May 2008. I'm an RN so my hands get washed with both soap and alcohol rub a bazillion times a day. My ring insurance covers any "dippings" it may need for the rest of my life or the ring's life.

    What really stuck with me was the complaints about your dress. Now, I don't know you and haven't seen your dress but unless it's comprised of a pasties/g-string combo they were way out of line. It's not 1865, it's a destination wedding and you never tell a bride that you don't like her dress period. Come on, people!

    I totally agree. Who tells the bride "your dress is too revealing". Who cares if it is? It's 2010 afterall and unless you're a Mormon or some other conservative religious sect that cares about that kind of thing, I'd tell the family to stuff it.

    I'm pretty sure 99.999% of the brides on the forum have gone through most of the same things you've expressed. I told my family and friends, if you don't like it that's too bad and I wont listen to your bitching and complaining. I never heard anything further. :) My friends were pissed that I didn't have an AHR, but when I asked them if they had the funds to pay for it.... well no one offered and I never heard anything further on that subject. Hah! I stuck to my guns and it worked out in the end. Yes, I only had 9 guests at my DW but I could have cared less if no one showed up. I had a great time and so did my husband.
