    TTC November 25th

    Hi everyone. Anne, I hope your mother improves. Between that and your sister I am sure you are stressed. Melanie, that coldness sounds brutal. I live in St. Louis and people FREAK out over just an inch or two of snow! How wimpy we are. I still feel gross, but it's been getting a little...

    ttc nov 18th

    Hi everyone. I had an u/s on Monday and saw a little heart flicker. My due date is 7-4. I feel gross- sometimes I don't know whether I want to puke, go running or eat. I always get nauseated the worst during the evening. Jen- I am with Autumn. Go see a specialist as soon as you feel...

    Spotting and freaking out

    All four of my pregnancies have had varying degrees of spotting, mostly like you described- brown with a little red, between weeks 6 and 9. good luck. It's a good sign if you're not cramping.

    TTC - November 11th

    Anne- I used acupuncture to get labor going with my second child. It worked; I am a believer. Morris- I've been eating way less but feel very jiggly. My boobs and tummy look like a distorted smiley face. Jen- keep us posted on your appt. I'm sure you've heard tons of stories about...

    TTC Nov 4th-Where is everyone???

    Yes- and I still had a "delayed reaction" on most of those moves. I am getting it though and I am really glad I bought it. I also got her Cardio Pump Hi/lo (which I had done before with Netflix) and LOVE it even though I am hi/lo phobic. FInally, yesterday my actual work out was All Body...

    TTC Nov 4th-Where is everyone???

    Melanie- today I previewed ASC2 and I used the top part of the board only and tried to figure out sections 1 and 2- had to do it about 7 times to get just those sections. I did the same with 3. I am going to try 4 tomorrow and 5 on Monday with the hope I can actually do the workout on...

    TTC Nov 4th-Where is everyone???

    morris- I had bleeding with my 3 kids- in fact, the last one was a pretty heavy bright red bleeding that started around week 7 and lasted until week 11. The doctors called it a subchorionic hematoma- some type of blood pocket around the placenta area. Everything was fine; I'm sure you'll be...

    TTC Nov 4th-Where is everyone???

    I got in a few 4-5 mile runs last week and also did the HIS/LIS combined cardio and also the circuit style bootcamp. The bootcamp was not as hard as I thought it would be. I guess I didn't realize how short each drill was. I ordered a bunch of stuff from collage- Amy Bento ASC2 and cardio...

    TTC Check-In Oct. 28 - CONGRATS KRISTAN!!!

    Morris- you're smart to get the running in now. I've been thinking the same thing. I feel decent- I always have had "afternoon" sickness- about 4 pm I feel yucky. Chewing bubblemint gum and going to the gym seem to help. Pepsi and poptarts also work (although the gym/gum combo is probably...

    TTC Check-In Oct. 28 - CONGRATS KRISTAN!!!

    Hi everyone. Thank you for your warm wishes. Yes, Melanie, that was me who had Gus the month before you had Jadon. I did a run on Saturday (only 4 miles though, nothing compared to 10 mile MOrris) and 3 of the 4 new DVD's. I agree- they don't satisfy the cardio junkie in me. I am...

    TTC Check-In Week of Oct. 21 - CONGRATS MORRIS!!

    Hi. I picked up a preg. test last night and it was positive. We're excited. I'm going to keep checking in with you guys for a while if that's ok. My first trimester so far has always featured pretty heavy bleeding at weeks 7 through 11 (subchorionic hematoma), which makes me very nervous. I...

    TTC Check-In Week of Oct. 21 - CONGRATS MORRIS!!

    Morris- congratulations. How wonderful! I got in 6 workouts- 3 good and 3 "mini" work outs. I rec'd my new DVD's and had planned to try one tonight, but it won't happen- we had brownie scouts here tonight and it was chaos getting the kids to bed. I have to drive 2 hours tomorrow for work...

    TTC Check-In Oct. 14

    Hi. My workouts were pretty decent- IMAX 2, BM2 blasts/legs, PS CST, and I also ran a couple of times and went to the gym. Anne- I don't know about your short cycles. Mine have always been pretty short. It's like my body realizes there's no egg and jumps to AF. Autumn- yes, I grew up...

    TTC check in October 7th

    Hello. We've decided to get going with TTC if we are to have a 4th. (I'm 37 and I don't want the last two kids spaced far apart). About Devlin- he actually went to my high school and his younger brother was in my class. Nice family, bad son. Jen- I am so sorry about your MIL...

    Which DVD has best warmup: IMAX 1, Step Fit, or Rhythmic Step?

    I am going to work out in an hour- doing the BM2 blasts/leg work with abs and bonus from B+G. Want a warm up that's 10 minutes at least that will keep me from getting bored. Which one of the above is most interesting? I cannot remember.

    TTC check in October 7th

    Hello. I am still lurking. I'll be ovulating soon, but still on the fence about a 4th baby. About the furminator, I've been thinking of getting one. I've heard great things about it. And, the couple that developed the product lives here so it's good to hear a local small company is...
