No real advice except that you should stick to your guns and not cave. An observation of mine: I think 3 is harder than 2. I always joke that a 3 year old is like your college roommate who cannot hold her liquor- fun and delightful most of the time, but the next minute irrational and crying...

Hi everyone. I got in 4 pretty good workouts last week. I really liked the CTX power circuits with the BM2 circuit section- that was one tough hour (10 leg circuits). I also did StepFit yesterday. That cracked me up, but it also winded me! Especially the power lunges Morris- thanks for...

Cardio Hits. I actually just decided my Sundays will be Old School Sunday and I did StepFit today (on VHS no less). I only pull these out about once a year (because I did them so frequently when they were released). They seem fresher that way. POwer Max and Step Works are some of the newer...

I'm in the city and I grew up in Webster. Poor Kirkwood has had a rough few years as a community- the police officer shot a few years ago, the discovery of the two kidnapped boys, and now this. If any of you work downtown, the shooter used to picket at Washington/Broadway outside the...

Here's what I have: Cardio Pump hi/lo, Cardio pump step, and ASC2. I've done ASC1 on Netflix; don't feel the need to own it. I was thinking hi/lo Extreme. I'm looking for something that has circuits or a circuit premix. I usually hate hi/lo but I really like her cardio pump hi/lo. Any...

Morris- my kids were all 9 pounds even. I gained about the same with each. I worked out with weights like normal until the end (although with leg stuff, I did make some changes). As for abs, I know I don't do as much as I should. I do move to the ball once it becomes uncomfortable. Thanks...

Hi everyone. We did have our party; about 70 people showed up despite 9 inches of fresh snow on the ground. It was a lot of fun! My red beans and rice were well received. We got so many nice hostess gifts (many bottles of vodka; our friends know us well) but of course I couldn't drink. I...

I've always gained about 30 pounds and lose 23 of it within weeks. The last 7 pounds won't budge until I wean, usually at 9 months. Good luck.

I don't buy in to the controversy. We held off on one of the hepatitis vaccines, but that's about it. Our area has had pertussis (sp?) and mumps outbreaks- that scares me.

Melanie- you are too young to be worried about a ticking clock. You're not even 35 are you? Morris- hurray for a healthy baby. I think two kids of the same gender close in age are wonderful. My girls are best buddies; they're 22 months apart. MSJ- Lent is CRAZY early this year. And...

Morris- you're killing me. I ran on friday (4 miles) and wanted to stop at mile 1.5. And Melanie, IMAX2 and C+W together sounds like quite a time! I really like both of those dvd's. I am in full party frenzy preparing for our mardi gras party this friday. Lots of shopping and house...

While TTC, I didn't adjust my caffeine intake. Once pregnant, I worried I'd have a hard time giving it up, but I found that coffee grossed me out in the 1st trimester. My coffee intake now is 1 grande starbucks 1/2 caf per day.

Hi. Morris- my 'big' ultrasound is 2-12; it's right at the 20 week mark, which is a little later than I've had them in the past. I think we'll find out gender, but won't count on anything until we meet baby. (I was told my son Gus was a girl at the 18 week ultrasound) I did IMAX3 today; so...

Thanks for starting the thread. Today I did my own "premix" of the ASC2 circuit- I pretty much did the wu, section 3, 4 and the leg work from second circuit. It took about 40 minutes and I know already my legs will hurt tomorrow. Maggie- I wish I had clean eating to compliment working out...

Melanie- the nuchal test is relatively new and only available through certain hospitals (there's only one in my city that offers it). It is an ultrasound measurement of the fetus' neck combined with blood work from mom. It's done between 11-13 weeks and a lot more accurate at screening for...

Hello. TOday is skating lessons for my girls and LOTS of errands. Good thing that it's only 15 degrees here so I won't have to worry about groceries going bad while I shop from store to store. I might do meatball mania- which is where I make about 100 meatball and freeze them in batches for...

I really feel for you. That stinks! Congratulations; by the way, Louis James is a FANTASTIC name.

That's great to hear! Congratulations. For me, the VBAC was so much easier than the c/s. Hope you're feeling good. My kids were also 9 pounders- I found they were really good sleepers because they had that extra weight.

Hi everyone. You guys are busy! Jen, so sorry to hear about MIL. How is your husband doing? Anne, hoping your mother does better. Is she in your town? Lisa, your comments on IMAX are spot on. I curse at it, especially during the very long jumping interval (tuck jump?). It is a...

You've rec'd some great advice. I highly recommend a getting out with the stroller. Also, don't be afraid to workout when you can. I often have to break up my workouts into 20 minute increments. Finally, what about the gym? Can you use the nursery there?
