Baby Love!! Mamas Check-in Aug 3-9

[chefkate]

So much to do around here. School is starting in a month and I feel so much that I need to soak up every minute with the girls. Gina has already started crying that she wants to stay home. Isabel on the other hand, is ready to drive the bus! How can 2 kids be so different?

Doing some cardio tonight, just not sure what.

Hey everyone! I'm leaving tomorrow and packing today so don't know how much I'll be around. my mom has a computer set up for me so I'll be around some. wish me luck that the boys do good on the trip! esp baby. I'll be bringing some w/o dvds to do there. they have a w/o room!

Kate -My boys are all totally different. Noah is very RUFF and tuff. he needs to get into football or something. My oldest Seth is very artistic and creative. He draws really cool complex pictures and has since he was 4 years old! Baby Liam is just a buddle of joy. lol. he smiles CONSTANTLY and is so social. he literally has smiled when you talk to him from birth. he can't not smile if you smile at him or talk all chipper. He will even smile when tired and fussy if you smile at him lol. I'm curious to see the rest of his personality come out as he grows. and the older two differ on things like that too. (going on a bus or not)

where is everyone?? is it beautiful where you are too? super sunny here, weve been out 2x and JJ is doen for nap #2 right now. waiting for him to get up so i can go to the store... steak tips are 3.99/lb right now and my fam loves meat =) during am nap i did the bm2 power circuits and ub work (alternated circuit style). skipped abs because it was already close to wake up time but will try to get to abs later. i think i need to makea dr appt for my knee... i know i keep saying that but then i put it off hoping i will wake up feeling better. there is just NO way i can stop working out or stop taking long walks, and im afraid they will tell me that!!

jess, believe it or not my neighbor asked for her TJs back TODAY, coincidentally after i told yall how i loved em =( boohoo. i am totally on a spending hiatus but am looking for some on VF for trade. i will look for the fat blaster one, 20min, and any cardio party, thx for the recs! should i look on ebay maybe?

kate, isnt it amazing how sibs can be so different? too young to tell with JJ but i think about me and my bro... total opposites lol!

[intensityjunkie]

Wendy -check amazon. I know they have a bunch used there. too bad your neighbor wanted them back. oh well! tell her you love them and are going to get them. maybe she'll decide to let you keep them. ?

Well see you all later. I'll let you know when I'm there. packing like a mad woman now. why do I put this off till the last second??

[chefkate]

Jess, I'm a last-minute packer too! I do better under pressure! But I could never be a lawyer. It would be the night before the big trial and I'd be "oh....I need evidnece! And witnesses!" LOL!!!
Feelin'' your baby love! I could just wax poetic on Julia all day! I LOVE that baby!!!!

Wendy, steak....mmmmm...... I picked up some today for Wed night.! YUM!
LOL on no appt for your knee! I'm the same way!

Seems like our little mama thread is dyin' off......

[chefkate]

Well, I was tired and we almost talked ourselves out of exercising.... but we did it! I did the first half of StepJam - BM2 is on for Tuesday.. I think I'll be splitting it up thru the day!

[dlandkk808]

Kate - Any wo is better than no wo! I can't remember the last time I did BM2 all the way through.
Jess - Have fun!!
Wendy - Hope your knee isn't as bad as you're thinking.

Did ME ub premix. First day of cheerleading practice for my dd. Daily practices this week. I somehow managed to go to work, help kids with homework, make dinner, wo - even though it was a short 45min wo, and get to the parent's meeting for cheerleading all in one day. DD is over at her friend's house now and DH will pick her up after ds is done with football. This will be a loooong week! Ack! Eats are clean today, yay! My mil watched Pomai while I went down to the meeting, and she took a huge dump while I was gone. I was only gone for 45min too! My mil was a trooper about it though!

Howdy! Been a lazy semi feel bad day today. I just felt weak and ick w/ a headache. Then I got a nap and perked up. I actually drank half an energy drink and then went for a run. I should have probably rested, but oh well. I was supposed to do weights today and that didn't happen. I have that on plan for tomorrow then the dentist at 1.. ack

Kate~lol at the lawyer. I am the SAME way. I am so last minute. School is starting here in less than 2 weeks. I am WAY happy about this. I just want some peace around this house. The older 2 get Landon all fired up. When they are gone he is an angel and they love being super busy and at school so it works well for everyone. lol I like the weekends with them, but my Monday I am happy to get them back at school.

Jess~have fun at your moms! Cool that you are taking workouts with you.

Wendy~yep it's sunny here, but it was 97 today. It is a bit hot to enjoy the sun.

Lisa~you sound super busy! That makes me tired just reading it all!

[chefkate]

Lisa,LOL at MIL! That's funny!
How's POmai hangin' in there with all the to and fro?

Trish, I had a short snooze MOnday too. I was reading to the big girls while J napped and totally fell asleep on the couch for about 10 minutes. I haven't done that since I was first pp. I felt so refreshed!
Will Landon go w/ ou to the Dentist or will you leave him with the daycare?

[bostonwendy]

hi mommas! well its 80 here already at 7am... gonna be another hot one! i know you southern gals think im crazy but you must understand we had like 6 weeks of rain during our already shorter summer time. i love summer! in boston its sort of a big deal to have a nice tan =) no DOMS from bm2 ub yesterday, hmmm, need to go heavier next time? felt plenty heavy tho! def cardio today and i need to keep it simple for the crunchy knee, maybe the petra kolber one from netflix again. its not bad. havent heard back from the OT yet...

so JJ, 11 mos now, is eating pretty much everything... how about you? i was at the point a few wks ago where i was just avoiding honey, egg whites, whole milk, citrus and nuts (plus limiting sugar overload, not easy with mil around). gave up on the egg whites (why do we wait on these again? what a PITA to separate just for bfast) and hes been fine. and hes accidentally had stuff with milk or nuts in it when we didnt realize, parties and such. i still worry about him choking tho... size and consistency worry me more than allergies now. he overstuffs his mouth and doesnt really "chew" just the gum mashing thing... wondering how you all are doing with feeding stuff now?

trish, sorry you were under the weather yesterday! and boo at the dentist... but i always feel like its such a buildup to it and then its never as bad as expected...

lisa - i cant believe what you get done in a day!! holy moly woman!!!!!!!!!!! lol at mil stuck with the diaper =)

kate - isnt it AWESOME when you psych yourself up ot wo after all?? yay! dont have step jam, think i would lol at the clothes? i have hard time with dated wos...

jess, have fun with your fam and enjoy the help! enjoy some time for yourself!
