TTC/Preg Check in June 9th

[chefkate]

Hi Anne, Good to see you!

Kristan, Glad you're having more energy - not easy to do at this point is your pg!

Trish, Sounds fun today! It is very hot here and the pool sound snice but the water is FREEZING yet! Maybe I can get DH to turn on the pool heater. Too cool on your hottie husband!

I did Bar Method Designer Sculpting. I was feeling energetic afterwards but I'm feeling big and clumsy now that we've been outside a bit. This is going to be a long, hot summer for us preggos, isn't it?

DDs are outside still playing in the sand. I think I'll take my hypnobirthing book out there and sit in the shade with it.

Kate~yesterday the water temp was 86 so it felt great. My parents pool in FL is staying in the low 90s. That is crazy hot for pool water!

Hi everyone! I think a roll call is a great ideal since there is so many of us.

name:Candra
due date: Oct 18th (same as Kate)
I have 2 boys 6, 4 and expecting another boy
I am a sahm
I live in California

Kate I got the preggi bellies dvd. I was suprised that I really liked it. I am waiting for my strike zone to come. This morning I ordered Walking Strong and Pure Barre. I am sticking with non weighted lower body b/c it is just too uncomfortable right now. I am going to go do PUB right now while my boys are busy playing. I will check back later.

Hi guys. I'm getting a late start around here today. Kiddos actually slept until 8:30 and 9!!! Gotta love that!
Melanie--Sounds like your DH is getting excited! That's great!

Kate--Sorry you're feeling tired today. It's probably just the Monday blahs. I find that weekends can be SO draining!

Mikkia--Sorry your trip was so rough! I know you're glad to be home. You're occupation sounds so interesting. I'm sure I'll be asking your advice on many things!

Anne--I have been lurking around here for awhile before posting. I just want you to know that I think your attitude and spirit are so inspiring. You'll make a wonderful mommy--soon I know!!

Trish--Congrats on the 5-mile run. I'm so in awe of you guys who have kept up your regular fitness routine. I couldn't run 5 miles even if someone were chasing me.

Morris -- I know she'll not be reading this today, but my thoughts and prayers are with her!! Hope she has a quick/safe/wonderful delivery!!

OK roll call:
Name: Stephanie
Location: Tennessee (just south of Nashville)
EDD: Oct. 9 (though c/s probably will be a week earlier)
Kids: Two boys: Oliver, 6 and Henry, 3 (third boy on the way)
Occupation: Former journalist, now SAHM and freelance writer/church newsletter editor. I've written some children's books too that I'm trying to get published, but apparently if you're not Madonna or someone famous these days, they don't want to publish your children's book (I'm not bitter or anything ;) )

So I've got to now go clean up the house a bit. It always looks like a cyclone around here after the weekend. Too hot to spend any quality time outside, but I'm going to try because we're expecting rain tomorrow. Hope everyone has a great day!!

Hey Everyone,
Sounds like you all are doing good!! I am so excited to hear about Morris' experience.
I go see my dr here tomorrow at 1. I am still lightly spotting, nothing major. This is so different from last time. I hope I won't need a d/c.
Stephanie, I just love Nashville! We lived in Smyrna for a few years right after dd was born. My best friend still lives in the area and we go there often. I am orignally from Oxford, Mississippi, but now live in Ark..not happy about it. We will be moving back on Oxford in the near future.

Name Susan
Location Little Rock Ark
TCC since last summer, 2 m/c
1 dd, 8 years old
married to dh for 15 years this July.
Occupation:sahm for many years, started back to school last fall, goal is dental hygeine.

Trish, THat pool sounds amazing!!!

Candra, GLad you like PB - I'll orderit tonight. I love PUB - one of my faves. Hope you got to finish it! Starting is easy, but with the kiddos around....finishing...not so easy!

Stephanie, HOW do you get your kids to sleep in so late!?:o My Indians were up by 6:30 today!!! Actually they went to bed at 7:30 so they had really had enough sleep. I would just love a later wake-up! Btw, I'm sure you knock Madonna out of the water, in more ways than one!;-)

Susan, 15 years of marriage - good for you! We'll be 9 next month and it feels like yesterday that we were dating - funny how time flies. I hope too that you don't need a D&C. (((hugs)))

--------------------
I had a great 2-hour nap today with DDs. We all pile into my king-sized bed together. I love it. Dinner is in the crockpot and DH won't be home for an hour or so. I may go sneak in some Classical Stretch while DDs are playing....

Melanie I got my strike zone today also. I am hoping to preview it after I clean the kitchen and do a few loads of laundry. I just love Mondays:P I'm sure you are going to love your elliptical I got mine after I had Owen 4yrs ago and I still use it all the time. Do you use any of the itrains? I love to use those workouts on the treadmill and elliptical. I even have a couple outdoor itreads that I do. Are you hoping for a girl?

Kate I am jealous of your nap. My oldest Wilson refuses to take naps anymore and Owen will only go down about 3 days a week but then he never wants to go to bed at night.

Susan I hope everthing happens naturally for you and you can avoid having a d&c. Let us know how your doctors appt goes.

Hi Stephanie we are going to have our hands full with 3 boys!!

I have a question for everyone, do you eat deli meat while pg? I know I did with my first two. My dotor told me last pg just to make sure the meat is fresh. Now with this pg he tells me not to eat it unless it is heated. Warm deli meat totally grosses me out. I gave in today and ate a turkey sandwich:-) My friend who is a nurse said the risk of listeria is really low and it is usually with the soft cheeses. I just feel guilty for eating a stupid sandwich;(

Candra, you wanna do Strikezone tomorrow & compare notes?!?!? It'd be like workout out together. ;) I never preview my DVDs. I"m a hands on kinda gal. I am hoping for a girl, I don't think we'll have another one...although a few weeks ago I had a dream that we were dedicating our "5"th child in our church. Eck!!! I don't eat lunch meat when I"m pg, I just don't like it that much to risk eat.I am thinking about eating tuna though.

Melanie, I will take you up on doing Strikezone tomorrow. I am going to preview it right now. I eat tuna also no more than 6oz a week though. I have been craving it.
