Hi ladies, :-) It made me smile to come on this forum and recognize the names. :-) Morgan is sleeping well at night, and we're letting her cry a bit now to fall asleep. It's a bit heartbreaking but appears to be working. Not complaining. I just finished meso 2 of STS, which I began...

Me, too! Meso 1 was OK. I don't like muscle endurance as much (feel like I'm rushing around gathering weights). But I LOVE meso 2! I feel amazingly strong and am almost finished (disc 23 just completed). Next time I go back to meso 1, I think I will like it better because I know what to expect...

Ooh. I like that idea, too. I'm home on maternity leave currently and don't have 1 hour in one stretch either. I typically do half of an hour of one disc in the morning and half an hour in the evening (trying to add my own warmup and stretch as appropriate). Not sure if this is the perfect...

Susan, congratulations! She looks perfect, and I'm so glad labor was smooth--and fast!

Hi Ladies, I'm 13 days out from baby's arrival. Two days ago, I decided I was ready and tried High Step Circuit (Intermediate). It wasn't too bad. I had to lower the high step during leg presses though and kept with a light weight. Yesterday, I did Circuit Max, again keeping with a fairly...

Oops I forgot to send good wishes to everyone on the forum. I quickly read all the personals but apologize if I didn't send a personal message to everyone. Thinking of you though. Also to say that my milk came in on day 4 and that made breastfeeding SO much easier. Thank goodness I didn't...

Hi ladies, Thought I would jump in--maybe my last post except to wish you all congrats along the way! Melanie, enjoy your bedrest if you can. Sounds like you are able to catch up on a few things. Go 36 weeks! I know the twins can make it. :-) Jen, glad to hear your bp went down. I ate...

Good morning Hi everyone, And thanks for all your kind messages. Believe it or not (maybe believe it if you have a baby), this is the first time since baby's been born that I've had some time to myself to catch up on e-mail and what not. I'm so sad to read Mel 2's news. I'll be thinking...

New Baby! Hi everyone, Sorry for the delay in responding, but I have some news. :-) Morgan Lorraine Bailey was born at 10:48 pm on Friday, September 25. She weighed 7 lbs, 14 ounces, and was 20 inches long. Everyone is fine and adjusting to life with the new baby. A few photos are...

Hi everyone! Melanie, I'm so sorry to hear of your fatigue and disappointing maternity leave news. If it's not one thing it's the other. I hope you are able to get some rest. And I think it's a great idea for DH to drive you to work. It would be a great way to work in a nap during the...

Hi everyone. I know some people have connected on Facebook. If anyone wants to connect, I'm Dawn Wilcox Bailey in Maryland. Hope everyone is well and getting some sleep. All the best! Dawn

Hi everyone Christine, I'm sure nothing else possibly could go wrong, right??? And once your son is fully recovered, then he'll be immune from the flu, which would be great for family and baby. :-) I'm all about happy thoughts! Susan and Melanie and Jen and Pricilla and Mel2 and Wendy and...

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry I have been AWOL. I wish I could say I've been spending time with the new baby but not yet. My family arrived in town and we're doing lots of things--eating spicy foods, walking, but I haven't gone for the castor oil yet (just kidding)! Baby is hanging in there. I am...

Hi everyone! I'm here. Still. I swear baby is ready. Braxton Hicks occur a bit more frequently but nothing I need to time yet, I don't think. I had terrible heartburn again last night. Just could not get comfortable in any position. It's gone now so maybe that was false labor? Some back pain...

Hi everyone, Melanie, I can relate. My DH is a very good man, but sometimes I wish he had been a little more attentive and helpful during this pregnancy. He is dealing with other serious issues, but still. He always tells me he has total trust in me and believes I can handle anything. I'm...

Morning' everyone! OK. I always read everyone's messages and talk to you as I go :-) , but I haven't been so good at responding in writing. Here goes. Melanie, I'm so glad to hear the girls are doing so well. I want to punch your doc in the face, but the upside is that he is not worried...

Hi everyone, My next apt is tomorrow. Last week I was 2 centimeters and 80% effaced--come on, can I get a 3! My mom arrives Sunday. I told her to bring her walking shoes and taste for spicy foods (my DH won't touch anything spicy). I think the baby is lower as I can tell I'm waddling a...

Hi everyone. I'm still here! :-) 38 weeks A second yeah for doctor's notes. I got one last week because my commute is about an hour. In all honesty, I probably didn't need it, but my boss said "sure work from home" and thus I'm at the kitchen table with my laptop now, in my pajamas with no...

Hi everyone, I'm here at home. All is well. 38 weeks Sunday and baby isn't going anywhere yet! Thanks again for not making fun of a first-time mom wondering if every little thing is labor! (I did have a few very light cramps this morning and let's just say constipation is far gone, but I...

Hi everyone, I think I'm a moron. No more spotting this morning. No more light cramps or braxton hicks. Just the baby chilling out and kicking now and again. She is full term at this point (37 weeks), but if I can get to 40, I guess it's better for her in the end. Maybe I had false labor...
