Hi everyone. I have been so totally out of the loop. Husband quit his job and is moving to another company. As the household lawyer, I've been up to my ears in negotiating, thinking, talking, etc. about the job change. You guys crack me up. Candra, I want to disconnect my doorbell too...

Congrats on the baby. It always seems my kids take a bottle much easier from others than me. And, it's best if I am totally away from the room, even the house. I think baby can sense that you are there (your voice, your smell) and thus gives the bottle-giver a hard time. So, go for a walk...

Hello everyone. I've been MIA- mostly because I am so ridiculously busy. And also because my firm's internet policy won't let me on the cathe forums because it's considered "sports". We're all good. Mimi is 7 months tomorrow- 20 pounds, 30 inches. We've hit two "mommy sad" milestones- I...

Hi everyone. I have been so busy, so sorry for the delayed check in. Mimi just turned 6 months and is totally wonderful. I've been working out 4-5 times a week. Fit in most of my clothes, but after Mimi weans (3-4 months from now) I am going to lose ALL of the baby padding I've been lugging...

Hi. I am working Monday and Tuesday and then 5 days off. My goal is to clean one room of the house per day and work out once a day. We'll see how far I get. My new avatar is our Christmas card.

Hi everyone. I was super busy with Christmas, so forgive me. I love this part of Christmas through Epiphany; it's such a nice time to catch up with friends and family. I only have been able to work out 3 times a week. Yesterday I did Low Max intervals only with a med ball and GS legs on...

Anne- Hurray! I will say a quick prayer for you. In another hurray- going to the gym before I pick up the girls from 1/2 day of school. I did Bento HiLo Extreme on Tuesday with the APX leg circuits and my legs STILL hurt. Hoping a light run will loosen them up.

HI. Today I did some Bento APX/HiLo X and I can tell i will be sore tomorrow.

Happy St. Nicholas day! Does anyone else fill their kids shoes with candy and new socks? Busy weekend- my 8yo has her first reconciliation (aka confession) tomorrow so we'll be at church most of the day. Candra- you wondered how I could fit in workouts, work, 4 kids. LEt me tell you-- i...

Hi everyone. I am swamped at work so little time to post. Yesterday I went totally old school Cathe and did Step Jam-- it was actually quite fun, except for the stupid hand jive at the beginning. I thought of how much I've done since that vhs was released in the mid-1990's- graduated law...

Stephanie- sorry to hear of your family's loss. Was planning a workout today, but have major booty burn after my DIY lower body work at the gym- walking lunges, bosu stuff, etc. Can barely get in and out of chair.

stephanie- have you had your thyroid levels tested? just a thought. i know a lot of PP woman can have trouble with thyroids. re my returned AF- it's just wrong that it comes back @ 4-5 mos (all 4 pregnancies). I am still nursing exclusively! and i can tell mimi thinks my milk tastes...

Hi Kate. Nice to hear about your good shopping. Do you find that it's worth it to buy nice clothes for your oldest so the clothes will pass down through all your girls? That's been my plan. My single boy, however, gets super cheapo stuff from Target, etc. AF returned last night. I...

Kate, LIsa- I highly recommend four. Especially for you two-- aren't your babies much younger than your older kids? That baby will need a peer. I am procrastinating- still have bills, lunches, laundry, work, etc. This week was only 4 workouts, but they were pretty darn effective...

Jen- I saw your concern about your weight gain. I always was a HUGE gainer from 23-29 weeks. With my first baby I even got a lecture from the ob. And then after 29 weeks I only gained about 5 more pounds. I even lost weight at term. And leaky boobs are totally normal.

hi. one handed typing. stephanie- yeah on incision. maybe exercise will get your blood flowing for some healing. morris- put some conditioner in your cap for your hair. i put bumble/bumble on it while i swim and it is like a treatment jen- like marlo; marlo thomas- wasn't she the...

Please pick Carmen! It's so beautiful and meaningful. And, guaranteed your Carmen would be the ONLY Carmen in her age group. According to the social security ranking of names used in 2007: Ava #4 Ella #21 Brooke #45 Brooklynn #57 and Carmen #275 Can you tell I am a name geek?

hi all. very little time to post. need to get a load of laundry started before i go to the gym to run. last week i ran a few times and did C+W and the 4ds leg mix. For the roll call, I am kristan and my kids are below (4 of them). I am a lawyer and my husband John is a motion graphic...

Hi guys. Stephanie- I understand why you are so frustrated with your incision. Morris- how is your swimming going? What strokes do you do? Look at the positive- maybe all this swimming will make you want to do a mini-triathalon or something. Kate- BM2? Talk about hitting the...

THe PP makes a good point- bring baby with you to your workout room so you won't drive yourself crazy running to his room. Also, go get yourself a good sleep book; the moms here will have lots of suggestions. I have two quick points- a 60-90 block of time is ambitious. Split your...
