    I am going to be a Grandma at last, thank goodness because if my DD waited any longer I would be to old to hold the baby LOL! Aimee is 33 and her DH is 35, they have been trying for 3 years...

    I was always okay with the no grandbabies because it allowed me to do all my traveling with my daughter and we have had so many great adventures together, and secretly I will miss that, but this will be another wonderful adventure I am sure, we just won't be leaving the country anytime soon (:  I am keeping my fingers crossed that they both stay healthy and the little bundle of joy should be here at Christmas time.

    Now I just need to find a damn job in Omaha so I don't miss out on everything.

    Congratulations Omahagirl!  How wonderful for your daugher and her husband.  Grandbabies are wonderful.  What a terrific Christmas present - I'm so happy for you.

    Oh Omahagirl,  you will have so much fun.  Grandbabies are the best.  I had both of mine on Friday, they wore me out, but it was a good tired.

    Yeah to you OmahaGirl!!! How wonderful for both you and your daughter. Your adventures with your daughter have just begun. Just think of all the fun you will have picking out things for the baby, baby showers, and just general baby stuff. I don't know how I would have managed with outmy close relationship with my Mother during those child bearing years. Besides 33 is the new 23 for baby making.

    Babies are way cool, but I like puppy breath too!  Let's hear it for baby smells (the good ones, not the bad ones!) 

    Congrats Omahagirl & Navymom!

    That's the problem with having kids a bit late - my own children are only 13 and almost 15, but my body and brain would do MUCH better with being a grandmother at this point. Have small kids around for a while, then give them back. In real life, I'm working hard to scare the crap out of my girls and effectively put off any grandmotherly possibilities for at least ten more years. Congrats to our grandmas!

    I have one old enough (and married) to have children, but I'm not ready yet!!!!  Maybe thats because I also have a 12 year old....I guess it doesnn't matter when I'm ready, but when DD and SIL are ready....congrats to all the grandmas to be...

    Three kids, all legally adults. None ready to be parents, although oldest is doing great with his new puppy.

    50 + Engaged to be married.  Still waiting for final diagnosis.  Right now DCIS in 2 spots and 1 area getting MR biopsied today to see if it's invasive or not.  Wedding plans:  May 1.  Unbelievable.

    My honeymoon will be a 3 night 4 day stay at my local hospital for a bi-lat mastectomy.  24 hour room service, meals included.  Maybe they will put an umbrella in my apple juice. Cool  Hopefully area 3 will not be invasive and I won't need chemo.  

    ES+, BRCA1/2 NEG, Pre-menopausal, 1cm each DCIS

  •   Hello Ladies,   Just stopped in to wish you all a Happy Easter.  Hope you get lots of Reese's eggs, and malted milk ball eggs or whatever Easter treats you like in your baskets.  Me, I am still trying to stick with the WW, but think the Megace is keeping it from working.  Weather is beautiful in my part of OH....hope it is nice wherever you are also.

    Do you think Cheetos makes Easter Eggs?

    I bet they don't, but maybe someone will come up with a trick to make them here.  All you women are so clever, I am sure there will be a solution.  A chocolate egg, with a cheeto inside, I may have to work on that myself.

    Happy Easter, enjoy the egg hunting.

    Diane so sorry to hear of your news but I agree they could hold off a few weeks!  I held my treatment up a few weeks to figure out what I needed!!!

    Happy Easter to all a pretty quiet one here, church, nice meal we decided with this wonderful warm weather to grill out steak, baked sweet potatoes, asparagus, pickles, jello ribbon salad and low fat cheesecake on the menu.  Garden has begun, we planted peas and onions yesterday, went to town and bought seed potatoes and pizza last night.  Once DH has the oats sowed we hope to plant potatoes this afternoon!!  A littel early but worth the gamble if the weather does not get too bad. We had our first daffodils open yesterday, we have crocus, daffodils and pansy's blooming in the garden right now.

    My (2) crocuses have gone by, but the daffodils are getting ready to open!  I'm so excited!

    All I need to know I learned from the Easter Bunny! Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Everyone needs a friend who is all ears. There's no such thing as too much candy. All work and no play can make you a basket case. A cute tail attracts a lot of attention. Everyone is entitled to a bad hare day. Let happy thoughts multiply like rabbits. Somebody parts should be floppy. Keep your paws off of other people's jelly beans. Good things come in small, sugar coated packages. The grass is always greener in someone else's basket. To show your true colors, you have to come out of the shell. The best things in life are still sweet and gooey. May the joy of the season fill your heart. AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU!  Happy Easter!!


    Love Ya Pink Pals ! xoxx Gina
