Hi!
Hope the absence of everyone means you guys are having a great weekend!
We did decide to back out of the sale. I had a few meltdowns about it. I just cannot imagine moving 2 weeks before having a baby whle in school. No regrets though. We feel good about the decision. It just happened too fast and we didnt have time to really think about it.
We have been hanging out today and swam for a while. Being in the pool feels so good to my body.
Im in my 31st week..I cannot believe it!
About to take Haley to cheer practice.
Waves to everyone!

Hi Susan & other moms. Thanks for starting us out.....I looked her a couple times but was too lazy to get us started. Susan, (hugs)(hugs) on the house thing....I know that the decision wasn't an easy one. (hugs)(hugs)

I finally have baby fever. A very good and wise friend told me, "You need to prepare a nursery, not a coffin". Ouch. It was exactly what I needed to hear. These precious girls will be born and they will be perfectly healthy. Period.

35 weeks puts me @ Nov 14th for a delivery date (give/take a few days). I have about 14 weeks left and I don't like to procrastinate. So.....went thru 3 bins of baby clothes....separated boy stuff from girl/unisex stuff, and then a friend gave/loaned me a bassinet, exersaucer, and swing The twins room (my current computer room) is filling up quickly.

I've felt the babies move around some today, which makes me super happy. I was hoping to get a nap in, but no such luck. I work tomorrow, but in town so I can sleep in until 8AM.

Hope everyone is having a restful Sunday.

Waves to all!

I totally forgot about the roll call on my thread start..sorry!! I"ll see if it will let me edit.
Melanie-so excited you felt the girls move! THey will be turning flips soon! Have you thought about names..do you think you'll stay with J's? Sorry you didnt get a nap..but you'll get some good rest tonight!
I feel so relieved about the house situation...soooooooo much better!
Everyone get some sleep tonight!

Happy Monday!
Oh..my aching butt! The past 2 nights the butt pain has come back with a vengence! I sleep about 4 hours then I toss and turn trying to get comfortable. I will survivie though...I cannot wait to meet this baby!!!!
Im doing a little online shopping at Justice for Haley. I can get 40% off through today and I almost forgot.
Melanie-I bet you are still snoozing! Good for you. Im glad your days won't be as long this week.
Today we have a few errands, cheer practice and hanging out. Its our last full week with no school. We both start on the 19th.
Yesterday I did a Leslie...I ordered a few of her walking workouts for easy days. They are easy workouts, but I feel good that I at least moved...but boy does that women GET ON MY LAST NERVE! Most of all....the same songs are in each workout...that really gripes me! Today I will step.
BBS to check up on your gals...where ya been??????

Good morning Susan! I'm sorry your so achy. Don't want to sound like a pill-pusher,....but I'd recommend 1000mg Tylenol this AM (and maybe right before bedtime to help with your AM soreness). Heat works great too!

I woke up early & took a super duper long HOT shower (turning the temp down when I rinsed off my front). It really helps for my aching body!!!

I almost feel lazy getting ready for this job: 9-530, and it's only 10 minutes from the house! I'm going to skip my hose today,...but I have my belly bra & thong on.

Waves to all you busy mommies out there!!!!!

Hello everyone! I was by the pool all day yesterday! It was so wonderful! I worked out yesterday and did a bunch of cleaning so my back was really sore. I floated in the pool all afternoon and didn't feel pregnant until I felt James kick.

Melanie- Hooray for a short day! Hopefully it goes by fast! Interesting comment your friend made, I'm glad it helped and you are excited! You should be and you deserve it!

Susan- Sorry that your butt pain is back. I agree with Mel about the Tylenol before bed, it really helps me get some sleep at night. Sounds like you made the right decision about the house. It will all work out the way it is supposed to.

Waves to all! I have a busy week so I don't know how much I'll be on but I have a dr's appt today so I will check back to update!

[Susank41]

Nothing step sounding inviting so I did 40 min on tm/ellip.

Melanie-I sure wish you could work in town all the time. Is that possible in the future??My butt doesnt bother me during the day but do take Tylenol at night sometimes. Sometimes it helps sometimes it doesnt.

Jen-I have been getting in the pool everyday. Doesnt it feel so good..but I feel like a ton of bricks when I get out! My varicose vein along with all my aches just go away while in the pool! Can't wait to hear about your appt.

Hi everyone!

Do you remember when you did Cathe's calf workouts (I'm thinking Gym Style Legs or 4 DS Lower Intensity Step) and you could feel your calves burn at the end when she would add on bonus calf lifts? :-) Well, I've been waking up in the middle of the night with such major calf cramps that it almost feels like that--but worse! Still I don't mean to complain. I can stretch out my calves and the pain goes away, but I feel for those with butt pains. How do you stretch that out?? :-)

33 weeks! I keep telling myself full-term is 4 to 7 more weeks. Yippee! Baby is very active and I'm getting some nice "you're all baby" comments. (I think I'm just hiding my increased thighs and butt well. :-) ).

I was able to do Cathe's Basic Step this weekend on just a platform. That went pretty well, but I was sweating up a storm at the end. I also tried 30 minutes of a high-low workout (Christi Taylor); although at this point the workout was truly low-low (think jumping jacks are now kick your leg low to the side).

All is well though. Cravings and hunger pains have subsided. Yeah! I know every pregnancy is different, but for me, emotionally, every month has gotten easier (not physically but you deal). It's amazing how much higher my spirits are now than they were 7.5 months ago.

Anyway, waves and good wishes to all. I was thinking that it would be fun to meet up with you all months from now on the fit moms' forum. :-)

Take care,
Dawn

Hi ladies. Today went by quickly. And we even broke a store record at the store I was at.
