Hi everyone,
Thanks for all the warm and nice wishes. I am so happy about this pregnancy I feel like I am on cloud nine. So far, I have been very lucky and have not had morning sickness or anything, but I do get very tired all the time. I am not sure if it is from the pregnancy or from working nights. It''s probably a little of both. Also, I am having cravings like crazy. The Juicy tracksuit I want is actually a bit more than the regular velour suits. I think it sells for $115 for the top and $105 for the pants. I don''t want to wait too long to get it, because as you Juicy fans know, once Juicy stuff comes out, they sell so fast. I have been ordering my stuff from shopbop and from adasa.com., but even they don''t have this style, or if they did, they sold them very fast because I never saw them. I plan to wear the Juicy sets for as long as I can while I am pregnant. I wear size small pants, but even they are a bit loose on me, so I should be able to wear them until 6 to7 months, depending on how big I get.

I purchased a few t-shirts and sweaters but have no idea how their clothing fits. . .big or small??? hmmmm. . .Hopefully at least one shirt fits since I''m bored with my current shirts. . . |

Mara - guess what??? There was a woman today walking through the produce section of the market I shop at wearing your Tiffany's pendant. She had the black silk cord style and was dressed very elegantly. Looked great on her! I can see why you like this style. She was dressed up and it came across as multi funtional and could easily go with jeans and a nice shirt, as well. Maybe if the decide to make this in a smaller size, I'll pick one up. lol

Kayla, congratulations on your new status.
 I wish you a healthy pregnancy and a speedy delivery.As far as a diamond goal for 2005, I don''t have a budget for any sparklies in the near future so it''s hard to say. However, a whenever-in-the-future sparkly goal includes: - diamond cross approx .75 ctw - a pair of diamond earrings, .35 - 50 ctw to start, then another pair in the future, no bigger than .75 ctw - diamond pendant (oh the possibilities  ), .35 - .75 ctw (see, I''m not picky)- diamond bracelet That''s all.  Sure is fun to dream anyway.

Congrats on your pregnancy, Kayla!! It must be so exciting!!
 I fulfilled my 2004 diamond goal and more, of which I am very grateful and happy for and though I feel like I am spoilt, it is never enough . I cannot imagine the day (if ever) I can reach Jennifer & Dididiamond''s level of diamonds-galore. For this year, I would love to get my dream of approx 1cttw earrings and that would be enough.

mc, i *love* the mesh, why do you think i had to order more! but of course i ordered clothes..... i will only buy jeans from there because they come in long lengths and they fit *perfect* i would say that the shirts may run a *little* small. i say this because i accidentally ordered a med. once and it actually fit (i''ve always ordered small). i hope the items you ordered fit, it''s no fun sending stuff back!!! let me know what you think of the sizing....and the mesh!!!

Part of my order came today and looks like I''m going to have to go shopping at the mall because none of the clothes (except one babydoll nighty) fit!  I''m a size 2-4 but the size S sweater I ordered was a bit big! Now I have to call and change the size on all my backordered stuff. AHHH! Why did I order from online??? lol All their outfits are so tempting because they look very sexy in the photos, but realistically, there''s tons of sexy stuff in all the shops around here that I can be purchasing AFTER trying on . oh well. Oh, their undies did fit, though, so now I am stocked up on these - and they were a great price . lol

Oh Gosh, Sevens! I wish you hadn''t posted that pic!! I saw a pendant before Christmas that I liked. It was like this BN pendant. Usually I''m not into 3 stone pendants because so much of them are like "cookie cutter" pieces. So many look alike. But I hadn''t seen one like this one. All three of my kids birthdays are in April and diamond is their birthstone. Sooooo, I asked the price. And wowzers!! They wanted an arm and a leg. I didn''t even bother to ask the carat weight, color, clarity, nothing. When I got home, I serfed the net a bit and found this one at Blue Nile. Still a bit pricey considering some of my other sparklies goals.
Then I had an idea. I''ve got an old pair of earrings. They are 27 points each. Not Ideals by any means, but still rather sparkly. All I would need is another diamond and POOF, I''d have a pendant!! So I am also thinking of recycling. I need to get the old diamonds color graded so I know what to look for to get a decent match that way. But now I''ve seen your pic, and phooey!! Soooooooo many choices!!!
