    TTC/Preggers Check-In Jan 6

    I couldn't decide between stepblast and rhythmic step so compromised: I did the first three sections of SB and then the step challenge from rs. I am so hungry all the time- and craving bean burritos and cashews (not together though). Wonder what that's all about?

    TTC/Preggers Check-In Jan 6

    Morris and Lisa- I am NOT getting STS. I feel the same as Morris- I have plenty of strength stuff with which I never get bored; I feel the same as LIsa in that I cannot commit to such a long program. THe price is a little steep for me. Maggie- welcome back. How many kids do you have? I...

    Maternity leave coming to an end..

    I have the best of both worlds- I work 3 days a week. I love my arrangement. It's nice earning some $$, putting money in a 401-k and still being able to attend playgroups and pick my kids up from school. A lot stay at home moms I know work from home (freelance writers, etc) or work a couple...

    TTC/Preggers Check-In Jan 6

    Autumn- be sure to stop by; I'll still think of you during my drives to Farmington. Morris- 28 is chilly; it's such a hassle to get dressed to run in the cold. Today is 70 here and I am about to go for a 4 mile run. Very excited because I haven't run outside in a while. I did ok last...

    Looks like I'm following the trend

    good luck to you. My second child was a pretty straightforward VBAC- she was 5 days overdue. You sound well on your way, a lot further than I was at 40 weeks with her.

    iMac or Windows -- Help Needed!

    Glad you like it! I am writing on my Macbook with Leopard. Haven't had any problems. I love it; you made a good choice. We have an imac, a macbook, a macbook pro, and a Mac G5 in addition to a brand new PC. The ONLY computer than we ever yell at is the PC. My husband is a big computer...

    TTC/ Moms to be Check in Dec 30th

    Lisa- I agree with what Morris said about ASC2. There's also a circuit premix on it too with some pretty tough weights. Melanie and all- i am going to look into the Bento kickboxing - maybe it's on Netflix so I can try it first. Why doesn't she call a video Bento Box (get it? like the...

    TTC and preggers - Week Dec 23rd

    Hi everyone. I had an ultrasound last Wednesday- things looked appropriate. I am 13 weeks and due 7-4-08. No maternity clothes yet. The styles these days are great for early pregnancy- empire waists, etc. I gained 4 pounds- which is a lot of me . I usually gain nothing in the first...

    Breastfeeding Question--Am I engorged?

    I always had a lot of milk and I would pump off the extra and freeze it for later. I'd nurse on one side and pump on the other with an Avent handheld, especially at the 7 and 10 am feedings. Sometimes I had a lot to pump, other times not. If I questioned whether I had enough "extra" milk, I'd...

    TTC and preggers - Week Dec 16th

    My other kids were all born in the fall, so I would quit running right at about 18-20 weeks when the weather started getting too hot. We'll see how far I keep running this time around. I'm not super fast or graceful, so my running is more like "plodding" along. Morris- good luck with DH...

    Questions for mom's with c-sections -- need advice

    1. I think my doctors saw me at 4 weeks for the 2 c/s that I had. Not sure if I returned after that. 2. my doctors let me get back into activity as soon as I thought I could. At about 2-3 weeks I took short walks, then advanced slowly as I thought was ok. I dug out a lot of the old...

    TTC and preggers - Week Dec 9th

    Morris- I understand the "barely keeping one foot in front of the other..." The days I work are definitely tight. My house can get messy and I don't always have a "real" dinner on the table every night (or even some nights). I wish I had more time to sew, read, clean, cook, craft, organize...

    TTC and preggers - Week Dec 9th

    Lisa- with the other pregnancies, i drank 1 tall starbucks a day. I'm sure this probably exceeded the official "guidelines" but I did it anyway. Don't be too impressed with the fact I'm an attorney- I only work 3 days a week. Morris- I did ASC2 on Monday. I have to keep my brain turned...

    TTC and preggers - Week Dec 9th

    Hi. Anne, I am going to dig out my medal of St. Gerard and say a prayer for you (and some other friends in your situation). I am 10.5 weeks. I have the "combined" test ultrasound on 12-19. This is my first pregnancy over 35 so this is a new one for me. Hoping for good results. I think...
