Hola, chicas! Thank goodness there are not as many posts as usual LOL Hope everyone who's sick is feeling better. I've been in the bathroom off and on all day; I thought it was due to my period -- maybe it's not...! Saturday was Ella's birthday. I can't believe my baby girl is 4...

Have to finish my workout (started earlier, then interrupted), but had to say quickly... Christine, glad John is doing better today. He is LONG! Drew had his 6 month appt on Tuesday -- 27.5 inches and (drumroll please) 24 POUNDS. No wonder my arms are always sore LOL BBL to do personals :)

Oh, Christine, I'm sorry about the bleeding. :( You seem so calm about everything, which will really help John feel normal when he's old enough to realize that this makes him different. (((hugs))) I'm ordering the Rykas from zappos.com as my No-Road-Trip Consolation Prize. I think I'll...

Good luck with your ultrasound. I was a nervous wreck before mine too. As for finding out, we had the same situation -- DH wanted to know and I did not. I told the tech this, and the tech told DH that HIPA laws prevented her from saying anything because I was the patient. Sooooo, if you...

Hi, ladies! I read everything for this week, but don't have time to comment on it all LOL Besides, no one would want to read a reply that long, right?! So bummed -- I tried to squeeze in an extra errand before heading home to register for the NJ Road Trip. I submitted my registration at...

Rats! I got wait listed at 2:13. Congrats to all who got in!

Yay, Melanie -- Glad you found your phone!! I would be at a loss without mine. I only know people's numbers as speed dials anymore. Hope your mojo recharges with a good night's sleep. Christine, I think you should ask MIL to come stay with DH for the weekend so you can come to the Road...

Christine, sorry it was such a rough night again. If only these little guys could talk to us, right? Who the hell knows why they do what they do -- but I'm sure exhausted from trying to figure it out. Hope you got a nap. BBL -- as I started to type, Drew woke up and is now screaming...

Lots of tired mommies today! When Drew took his morning nap, I zonked out on the couch while Ella played Wii. Yep, I'm Mother of the Year material :) Priscilla, Drew turned 6 months on 3/17. He didn't roll over until 3/5. Like Daniel, he hated tummy time. We would do it for 3 or 4...

Susan, hope you're internet is up and running soon! Miss you! Melanie, I didn't realize you've been sleeping on the couch all these months!! You poor thing -- you must be longing for the comfort of your bed. Do both girls fit in the portacrib, or do you have 2 of them in your room? Do I...

I just want to vent about something I saw on the news. I don't know what everyone here does for a living, if anyone is union or spouse of a union employee. There is yet another strike starting tomorrow (nurses in one of our health systems). With the economy the way it is, I think unions...

Hmmm, my 22.5 lb one-legged deadlift pales in comparison to Christine's 60 pound 1 legged squat! LOL So, Drew finally went to sleep for about 90 minutes. Yay! Ella went down at 3:15 and is still asleep at 5:18. I got in STS Disc 9 (legs), so now I can move forward with Week 4 for 2 weeks...

OMG -- Drew is driving me NUTS today. I'm ready to put him on the porch with a "FREE! Please take me!" sign. Jen, glad you enjoyed the lentil soup! As for steel-cut oats, I'm with you -- I have a can, but no idea what to do with them. There was actually a thread on the Cathe forums (maybe...

Susan, would you mind sharing your broccoli soup recipe again? I have a pound in the fridge that I need to use! Glad you guys liked the chicken. I think it smells sooooo good. Lemon and garlic -- how can you go wrong?! Christine, awwww, Jimmy mopping the floor would have broken and melted...

Thanks, Melanie, for the package of sunshine that arrived on my stoop on this rainy, gray day :) I decided to try the Insanity Fit Test today. LOL -- I am not fit!! My push-ups-on-the-knees don't work with the Push Up Jacks, so I modified -- held a plank position for the whole minute...

Yep, it's different. I know it's bigger than traditional couscous. Found this article. http://ezinearticles.com/?Adventures-in-Israeli-Couscous&id=1007885

I bought another bag of lentils today, so I can try the sloppy joes this week :) Welcome, Kendra. And congrats on the new baby! Jen, hope you feel better soon. Maybe you can take Christine's advice, just to play it safe. When I have strep, I have a hard time swallowing and I sound...
