Hello Mamas! Hope everyone had a good weekend! We did! Lots of fun! Back at it today with laundry, groceries, etc.

the last couple nights Julia makes it til 5am before she wakes up to nurse then back to sleep for a couple hours. Lets hope the trend continues!
She's getting much more daring in her cruising/letting go too! My baby is getting too big!!!!

These babies are all growing up.. I wish I could make it stop!

Kate~great news on her sleeping so well! : ) LAundry is on my agenda today too. ick

I did MIS yesterday AND Imax2, but I modified some of the Imax2.. didn't as much of the jumping because my legs were SORE from MIS. I was going to walk w/ the kids, but the storm clouds rolled in and I needed to get some cardio in too so Ijust did what I could with Imax2. Today I am takign the kids to hourly care because I have my yearly appt. FUN FUN. Then if I am not reallly long at the dr. I can get a run in without the kids before I have to pick them up. We'll see. I also need to do some studying. I did the pre-test for my Intro to Criminal Justice class and I got 38 of 90.. that is awful! It doesn't count, but that tells me I know nothing.. lol

When does everyone's kiddos go back to school? Hunter starts Friday and Madison starts Monday. We have orientation tonight for both schools. It'll be a busy day here.

hello ladies!! thanks for the comfort comments with Liam. Hes actually doing better again (crossing fingers It sticks!) last night we did get to bed late -like 10:30 I got him in his bed. but then he slept till 4am!!! that was probably a record for him. he woke up and I spent an hour trying to get him asleep and in his bed. I laid him down 3x and each time he woke up passing gas and then started fussing. ?? so I gave up and let him sleep with me. he conked right out then and only woke once at 7 to eat and we got to sleep till 9! wow that was alotta sleep compared to normal. I guess he slept late cause we were up late. Oh and the other day I tried a suppository and he seemed to feel better after he pooped and also seemed to get more air out after that. maybe he's getting the air trapped in there? he only goes pp like every 5 days. but I hear that is in the normal range for breastfed babies. its never thick or anything. always soft/yellow. i dunno. anyway sorry if that is tmi but I'm sure you all deal with baby poo too

kate-glad your getting lots of sleep! if Liam gets rid of this gas issue we may be doing good soon too. hope so.

trish -not much laundry here. we are living with like 5 outfits each now and trying to wear them a few times each before washing. my mom did my last load too ha. I gotta get on schoolwork now.

Trish, We go back the Tuesday after Labor Day.
Let us know what the Dr says abt your abs!
AWESOME WO's!!! Woohoo for you!!!
Sorry abt the pre-test! I'd be at myself too!

Jess, Cute suit! Seems like we always leave something begind too!
As far as the poop - ALL of my girls would go an extneded period w/o pooping. You're right - Totally normal for bf babes. They're using all the bmilk - no waste!

-
Must continue choremax! Had some fun outside w/ DDs too. Julia love the trampoline! Too cute!

[intensityjunkie]

Kate -yeah I wasn't worried about him pooping. my mom said it might help though and I was getting kinda desperate. he was acting so unhappy. and it worked so...?

[chefkate]

Is Liam doing good tonight?
I miss 100% breastmilk poop! Julia is *STIIIIINKY* when she poops!

[chefkate]

I was soooooo close to being a lazy bum tonight..... but I pulled out a good WO in spite of myself! I did KCM StepBoxing - I liked it. I did the cardio and abs then added on some of StepHeat.

Tuesday is SJP - I think I'll break it up thru the day. IIRC, that's a long one! I don't want to have to do it all at night!

Hi, pretty preggos! Just to let you guys know, I'm having a girl! Yes, another girl, I have 2 girls already. My due date move to Dec 23rd. I'm still doing good with my exercise, this morning I run 2 miles on the treadmill then MM lower body only. Tomorrow I'm planning to do LIC ( UB circuit ).

Hi mamas!!
Hope everyone is doing well! I've been such a bum when it comes to posting. I've been trying to do a lot with the boys before school starts (Thursday). Still doing CLX. I'm in the last phase and LOVING it. DOMS like crazy, which is so nice. Don't know what I'll do next. Maybe focus a little more on cardio (which I'm no fan of). Eats were really going well, but I cheated a bit this weekend so I'm trying to clean it up again -- feeling sluggish! Charlie is crawling, pulling up, no walking yet, but he can push a push toy or the kitchen chairs across the room. And he's very very curious!! And totally cute. Just wish he'd sleep in his own bed!!!!

Kate--Way to go on your workout! I'm still too chicken to do step workouts! (since the ankle trauma/drama). I hear ya on stinky poop. Charlie is the KING of stinky poop. Yuck! Yes, they are growing too fast. DH loves that he's growing so quickly and moving from one phase to the next; I am yelling SLOW DOWN!!!

Trish--Are you in school? If so, you must be crazy busy!! My boys both start school Thursday. We had Henry's preschool orientation tonight and Oliver's meet-and-greet (Popcicles on the Patio) is tomorrow night. I'm on the PTO so I've got clean-up duty. Fun fun! How did the doctor's appointment go? The best part about having your yearly post-baby is the impressive results on the scales!

Jess--The suit is cute! Sorry about the gas issues. I know that you can massage baby's belly to make him pass gas, and often it triggers a poop. I had to do that for Charlie a lot at first, when he had gas issues. I forgot the method though. You may want to ask your ped about it.
