Jim Phaserman 0 Posted February 16, 2006 Congratulations, Odie. This will be the toughest job of your life, I'm warning you now. Serving 6 months at sea on a Destroyer has NOTHING on being a parent. But, I think you will do well. And please, keep us upraised of how things go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angela 1 Posted February 22, 2006 Mint, in particualr mint tea is particulary good t quelling nausea, erm light crackers and water. But yeah Mint is very very good, you can drink mint tea hot or cold, just no adding milk K. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Odie 0 Posted February 24, 2006 Thanks for the suggesting mint tea. Mint tea is one of my favorites. Since I am no long on the ship and now I have lots of free time on my hands. I am going back and taking some college class and take some CLEP tests on the subjects that I know that I will pass without any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trekz 7 Posted February 25, 2006 Wow, congratulations Dawn! My positive thoughts and prayers are with you. San Diego is a great town to be in and the mild weather (compared to much of the country) should be good for you. Take care! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted February 25, 2006 Cara, Dawn is expecting. She shouldn't drink while pregnant, so I'll have to confiscate those spirits that the bear is carrying. And I'll have to dispose of it properly. Which reminds me, anyone got any Brie? And Dawn, just remember, the morning sickness will end soon. Then come the swelling, cramps, headaches, tension, irritability....and you can see why they don't let me be Lamase (sp?) coach. On the bright side though, by the eighth or ninth month, you'll have the cleanest office, car, billet, and clothes on-base!!! Yeah, I'm not much help, am I?

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted February 25, 2006 I've learned from experience, YBHYR, after having 3 kids, NEVER remind a woman what she's got to deal with while she's pregnant. It usually just translates into more pain for you. Well, maybe not in your case, but you get the picture... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Phaserman 0 Posted February 28, 2006 Hey, Odie, did you get your orders yet? By the way, there is a DCSN at Great Lakes who probably wishes I hadn't had to go down there today. Because of me (Or rather, my truck's base stickers), he got in trouble. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
