OMG, HH, you have like THE cutest embryo I''ve ever seen!I can''t believe how squishy and adorable it is . . .

You don''t have to compliment it now, just once it''s out.

How could it not be cute? Have you looked at your pictures? I was shocked and thought you had to be joking about your age. (I guessed 22 - 24) Your kid is going to be beautiful.

Awww thanks TP, you''re very sweet! And yes, I''m going to be 30 in April.

For the record, I believe most infants look like either 1. a monkey or 2. Winston Churchil when very little. Sadly from seeing my nieces, mine will resemble an elderly British man who wears tweed jackets and smokes cigars.

LOL!!!

SYSTEM BREAKDOWN! Gah I hate when I actually have to work!

I''ll throw in my late two cents on face stuff. I had perfect skin until Mini and after I had her I''ve struggled BIG TIME. I''ve used everything, nutrogena, proactive, aveeno you name it. Well two weeks ago my estetician introduced me to Jan Marini products. Swear on Mini''s life my face is 1,000 times better! It''s just a cleanser and a moisturizer and the moisturizer smells like a tropical vacation. It''s spendy but apparently it should last me about 4-5 months.

What kind of skin do you have? Is it acne prone? Dry? Combo?

I''m hoping having a kid will take my crappy skin and make it better.

I have big hips but DH has a small head. Hopefully our kids don''t come out like that or they''ll get beat up in school!

Or 3. Rudolph the red nosed reindeer. Mini was all jacked up from being stuck in the birth canal for so long and her poor little nose was smashed and bright freaking red.

I have combo, sometimes sensitive, and yes acne prone skin. Plus I feel like from my acne my skin is all uneven and untouchable now. This stuff has helped a ton in just 2 weeks!

I don''t know what the big deal with Proactiv is? When I DID have acne it didn''t help me that much and it made my skin soooo dry!

There is no deal with proactiv. Apparently its the equivalent of pretty much any cleanser/toner/moisturizer that has some acne fighting stuff in it. There is no magic there, but I guess getting the three all together and following the process must help some people be consistent.

Funny story:

When I was working at Starbucks, one of the regular customers gave me a Proactive set. Said it helped him and might do me some good. From then on, he came in and looked really carefully at my skin.

Maybe he though proactive was a government conspiracy to test chemicals on the general population and was using you as his Guinea pig?

I was too shocked at the time to do or say anything other that stare and kind of mumble a "thank-you?".
After that, I tried to avoid him.

Now that I''m not there anymore I can laugh at it (a little).

Not a bad theory. He was a little (okay, a lot) strange.

The cleanser was $29 and the moisturizer was $48. I did see it for a bit cheaper on Amazon though and if it lasts as long as she says it does then really it isn''t bad. Maybe I''m just cheap but I guess now that I know how well it works I would pay double.

I want to try it though. I wonder if they have samples...
