I am amazed at how many ladies are in mourning over the Lane Bryant soft cup Cacique bra as well. Thank you all for commenting. I would love to hear from more ladies about any OTHER bras that they have found that fit really well.... no wires please!
On that note, I thought I would share my FAVORITE sports bra. In the past I've done quite a bit of musical theater and in some of those shows I had to bounce around and dance a lot. Now, anyone with a larger chest will know that bouncing around is NOT fun... and can be painful. So I got myself an ENELL bra. This is the most heavy duty, kick ass bra I have ever worn. I am a 46 DDD/E and when I put on my Enell, those puppies don't move a damn bit. LOVE IT! I was worried because they can cost a pretty penny, but it was worth every cent. I didn't have to worry about boob-concussion once.
My ONLY beef with the bra is I would like it to be a LITTLE more low cut just for comfort. They do run pretty high cut, so if you want to wear it underneath a cute shirt, it'll probably peek out. But for the gym, or dancing, etc, it doesn't really matter.
If you need some giggles, though, check out the Enell bra site here. Just watch the show of all the pretty skinny ladies in their Enell bras working out... playing basketball, etc. Tee hee! Can you IMAGINE yourself playing basketball in just a BRA! I know that many women will work out in just a sports bra... but the Enell bra still LOOKS like a bra... shiny fabric and all. No sir, not gonna wear that in full view of anyone. :)

Sick Baby
Well, Jake has officially had his first illness requiring antibiotics. He has tonsilitis. Poor baby! And his eating has taken a step back since anything lumpy may trigger coughing which will trigger vomiting. :( But he's still happy and squealy and awesome.
And everything is just crazy lately. I'm stressed with the contract work for my old job I'm doing... writing a manual which is SO stressful and I don't know how I'll get it done before next Friday. And my gospel choir is getting ready for next Sunday's Haiti benefit, so there's that as well. So the house has taken it's toll and Rob's sick so neither of us have been any good lately. I guess I can only do what I can do, right? So I'm just blabbering at the moment before going to bed.
On the bright side, I found a lovely vintage hat at Oxfam for 15 euro. Now if I could only find a lovely dress to go with it for Juan and Helena's wedding next month. The problem with that is that Evans, pretty much the only place I can shop in Ireland, has decided it's idea of "dresses" this season are really just slightly long shirts that you are supposed to wear leggings with. Yea, not gonna happen. Fat people shouldn't even wear leggings in public, I don't know what Evan's is thinking selling them to us! And then not having ANYTHING appropriate for a wedding. UGH! My only other best option is Ann Harvey which is must more Mother of the Bride stuff. But I haven't given up yet... but just give me a couple weeks. :)

One of Those Nights
Well, Jake's keeping us on our toes this week. We started off 2am Monday morning with a 100.1 fever, which kept him from daycare for the day. Come to find out yesterday evening... he's got tooth number 3! I'm kinda guessing they're related. :)
Last night, daddy got home around 6:45 and Jake started getting snarky about 7. I thought "teething" so I gave him stuff for that, but it didn't seem to help at all. So then I though "bottle" which he wouldn't take. So then I thought "food." Gave him some dinner and that seemed to calm him... until about an hour and a half after bed time when he started throwing it all back up again. So maybe we had an upset belly on our hands. Well, 5 pukes, 4 crib sheet changes, and 3 pj changes later (he was up for some of the pukes so he missed his bed and clothes), we had ourselves and exhausted little boy who just wanted to SLEEP. He'd pass out inbetween pukes, so we'd put him to bed and it'd start 20 minutes later. I'm really thinking it was something he ate. BUT, come 1am it seemed to have resolved, so daddy and I took the leaf of faith and went to sleeeeeep.
I tell ya guys, I think we're pretty lucky. His pukey night starts at 9:45 and ends just after midnight? Wow.
So today we're keeping him home from daycare, just in case. I'm trying to keep him on his daycare schedule (first nap at 9:30, second at 2:30) but I wasn't sure how he'd do considering I let him sleep him. but so far, no noise from the crib. We'll see!
So back to work! Gotta get done what I can while he's sleeping! I also need to start looking at travel cots. I'm kinda in love with the Samsonite travel pods. SO cute!!
