Hiya everyone! Congratulations, Nonny!!!! It sounds like it was quite the ordeal, but I'm glad everyone is home safe and sound and everyone's happy!

Sorry to say hi and run again, but I have one last tiny assignment I need to finish tonight, because tomorrow I'm going to Quebec on a surprise trip for my cousin's baby shower! She's having a little girl! I did a french mani with silver roses in honour of the occasion:





I'll be back on Wednesday - hope everyone has an amazing weekend!

Thank you. They went home today. I dashed down to their house before they got home and put a "Welcome Home A.J." sign on the front door. I didn't do anything too big, just regular printer paper. i really wanted to buy a cute yard sign but I've heard you shouldn't do that anymore because of all the wackos that might target you and try to snatch your baby. It's sad we live in a world with such crazies.

Wow Jenn your nails look so pretty. I hope you have a grea trip. It seems everyone around here is having boys. What does she plan on naming her? I'm always interesting in names especially girls names because you can name a girl something really pretty and they won't get teased about their name. With boys you have to think of all the many ways other boys could twist it around and make fun of him, particularly here in the south. But I imagine its this way everywhere.

I don't want to be such a downer but I hope you guys will keep my little grandson in your thoughts and prayers. The dr at the hospital had my son and DIL take him to a cardiologist because of a heart murmur. They went today as soon as they left the hospital. He has three holes in his heart. They said these will close and heal on their own so it shouldn't be anything to worry about. Of course we will though as with any problem with a child.

On a happier note he is eating very well. My DIL is brestfeeding and at first its not milk that comes out. I forget what that's called. It takes a few days for the milk to get going. My daughter and I were there last night for just a short time and he ate three times. My DIL texted me today and said that her milk finally came so he was much happier. I guess he wanted real food. I told her my son didn't stop eating from the time he was born until his early 20's and during his teens he was a human garbage disposal. She said well at least then it's not coming from your boob

I didn't breastfeed. I know it is all natural but for me it wasn't. I'm shy anyway and the thought just freaked me out. I don't like when other women try to make others feel bad because they choose not to. I feel it is a personal choice and you shouldn't feel bad either way. But I know some people feel differently. I do think this decision is completly in the woman's court. It is up to her to choose not the man. My hubby wanted me to breastfeed our daughter. I told him if he wanted to then go for it but I wasn't going to. I told this early on to my DIL and said she asked my son for his opinion but after that she thought about and decided. I said good for you.

Oh you aree not a downer at all. that is really sad and i hope that his heart heals up. i am sure it will do without any issues. quite a few babies are bron with a hole in their heart. a couple of my friends had that when they were babies and they are perfectly fine now great news that he is feeding well. and my mum didn't breast feed me or my brother either. and if in any weird reality where i did have a child i wouldn't do it either. i'm not comfortable with popping my boobs out like that. and as you say - although it is natural it is still uncomfortable.

Even though I have allergies, I am loving the slightly warmer weather, open windows, listening to the peepers peeping across the street and all the birds singing. I love spring!!

I'm loving the weather now too! The sun is shining but still not very hot. I just feel more cheerful and springy!

shadow - I'm sorry to hear about your grandson. I hope he is all right, and the drs said they will close up, so you and family got to have faith. Don't worry too much!

 

[LMD84]

it is really warm here today! so lovely! although some grotty men have been walking around the city with no tops on which is kinda grimey! no need for that guys!

[/quote] Shadow: I agree with Lou. So sorry about your grandson and i hope he gets better soon.

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts for my grandson. The dr said it is pretty common but of course it still makes you worry. I have heard of people being born with a hole in their heart but I don't think I've heard of three. They go back to the dr in a month. I'm not sure how quickly it is suppose to heal. I forgot to ask them.

It was hot here today, reached 91. And whatever is blooming or flying around is doing a job on my allergies. My eyes are so watery and red. I look like I have been crying for days. I never used to have any problems with allergies of any kind but as I get older they are catching up to me.

I think there is some truth to something I read or heard about why more people seem to have allergies these days. It was that when we (I guess us older ones) were young we were outside all the time and I guess built up an immunity to all the stuff. And now kids and adults as well aren't outside very much at all compared to several years ago. When I was a kid we stayed outside all day in the summer coming in just for a bite of lunch and then back out till dark and same thing on weekends and after school.

Here's a little funny. My hubby and I went to my son's house today to take a few things for them. My son checked the little ones diaper and saw it needed changing so he laid him down and was cleaning the little one's bottom when he pooped all over my son's hand. If that wasn't funny enough while my son was cleaning that the little guy pooted quite loudly while my son's face was right down there. It gave us all a good laugh. As we were driving home my hubby said well I guess I should've told him to wait and make sure he was finished. I said nah they'll learn soon enough

I just saw this post on the Chanel swatch thread and was wondering if anyone can think of a less expensive dupe? It says it is a a Neiman Marcus exclusive . I don't think I can justify $25 for a n/p. This is so pretty.

 

[katred]

All my good wishes are going out to you and your grandson, Shadow. If it's any consolation, I have heard of babies born with multiple holes in their heart and they do heal with a little time- the individual holes are usually very small. Single holes are often larger, strangely enough.

For the peach n/p, I'm not sure, but NARS' orgasm polish seems like it might be close- it's a peach colour with a gorgeous shimmer. I'm not sure how much less expensive they are, though. Essie has some gorgeous peach shades, from what I've seen.

i have the nars orgasm polish and it is much sheerer than this polish. although orgasm is beautiful, it still needs 4 coats and then you still see tip to make it work. this polish seems to have a bit more pink in it. hopefully somebody will come out with a dupe soon!!

have a great day everybody. i have the in laws coming so we shall be going out for lunch with them. just not sure where to eat yet! we shall see what they fancy i guess!

 

[Miss QQ]

shadow miami peach is gorgeous! I wonder if it is stll available at my counter, I have to have it! I can't think of any dupes.

 

[nunu]

That is one gorgeous colour! Shadow i will keep your grandson in my prayers. That's a hilarous story about your grandson pooping all over your son's hand!

 

[ElvenEyes]

Ooh, that is a pretty coral nail polish. With all the various spring collections out you can probably find a dupe for it. They all seem to be carrying very similar colours. And don't forget to check into Zoya! They are amazing!

Best wishes for the little one. Many are born with holes and I am sure they expect it to heal up with time or they would not have sent her home. And I am right with you on the allergies. My eyes are all watery but I am loving the warmer weather. It is really turning the yards greener and I can't wait to see leaves on the trees again. This has been one very long and hard winter!

Will have to catch up more later. My day is starting late. That is what happens when you read until 1:30am. Hehehe....

BTW Congrats on the Grand National, Lou! Whoop! And so funny about whipping out the boobs. Something I never had to worry about, but I would imagine if I had breast fed (my sister tried for all three of hers but could not make enough milk so had to give up) I would probably for a week or 2 then get them right onto formula. That way all the good stuff passes over to them but then I and my boobs get freedom. Far too late for me to worry about that!

I can't believe I'm actually sat here sniffing my fingernails! I was in Boots today and bought Revlon nail enamels in Mad About Mango and Pretty In Papaya. They're scented once dry, and smell gorgeous. I think Mad About Mango is going to be a favourite for this summer, being a beautiful coral/peach colour which will go perfectly with a lot of my recent makeup purchases, and some of my favourite clothes.

I rather like the look of that Chanel Miami Peach, but Chanel is out of my price range unfortunately.

Thanks to you, Debi, I now have Pink Nouveau on my 'want' list. It looks great on you

Hehehe...I am a bad influence!

I have a feeling I might be flirting a bit with corals this summer! Hmm! I really haven't anything. They need to be more of a pinkish coral. I need to think about this and see what I can find. Less orange, more pink. Hmmm....

 

[shadowaddict]

Katred--I had not thought about the multiple holes being smaller than one hole being larger. That makes me feel better as that makes sense that they would close up faster.

I think I have NARS Orgasm somewhere. I was thinking this looked more coral and like Lou said more pinkish. I have a couple of NARS n/p and $17 was pretty steep for me to spend on n/p but going up to $25 I just don't think I can do it. I wil be on a search for a dupe though as I love that color.

Rockin--It took me years to stop biting my nails off and if they smelled that yummy I'd probably want to just chomp down

Debi--I love corals as well. I think one of my fav l/s is Ever Hip from the Liberty of London collection. It's a soft coral but a very nice everyday color for me. I bought three. You'll have to keep me posted on your great coral finds.

That Chanel n/p in Miami Peach looks nothing like the Malibu Peach that MAC did, which was one of the worst ever. It was a pretty color but so streaky. I could not get it to look good no matter how many coats.

lol! yeah that mac polish was crazy bad! i am always left feeling dissapointed with their polishes anyways though.

today i am at work all 6 days because my assistant manager is on holiday. kinda annoying but extra money i guess.

 

[rockin]

I was pleasantly surprised by that, too - not a hint of a streak (unusually for me lol)
