Good morning, Melanie, Susan, Allison, Wendy, and everyone else, Wendy, glad to hear your dad made it through surgery. I hope his pain subsides soon. And we're with you. You just have to do the best you can each day; the maternity leave will somehow work itself out I'm sure. Being there for...

Hi everyone, Hope the backpain, heartburn, and other ailments resolve themselves soon! So I just got back from a Dr's apt. Up 6 more pounds! What? But I've been so good? The doctor told me that I'm doing fine. He actually said I looked beautiful and I shouldn't worry about weight. He said...

Priscilla, we're here for you. Let us know what happens. I think lots of these extra appointments are just precautions. Better that our doctors take extra precautions. Thinking of you! Dawn

Hi everyone! And happy belated b-day, Jen. Christine, that was funny about looking at toast and gaining weight! I felt the same way! I felt really bad about my weight gain through the second trimester. Now in the third trimester (31 weeks), things--including my appetite--seem to be leveling...

Good morning, everyone! Here's our list to date. Did I forget anyone? PennStater/Allison - Sept. 20 (It's a boy!) Dawncharlie/Dawn - Sept. 25 (It's a girl!) Susank41/Susan - Oct. 16 (It's a girl!) wendybdh/Wendy - Oct. 25 (waiting to find out sex!) Sweetpea1/Jen - Nov. 9 (It's a boy!)...

Woo-hoo! I don't have gestational diabetes. It was a false alarm, I guess. But from this point forward, I vow to eat well . . . Have a great day, everyone, and I do hope everyone's parents and families are well. It's so hard to deal with stress on top of the little one. BTW, I think my...

You know I noticed too that my Dr doesn't always seem to tell me everything unless I ask specific questions. I say call the Dr for your own peace of mind (trust me, we pay a lot to the Drs for all these apts). I'm sure Drs hear all sorts of questions from us pregnant moms. I would call because...

I'm sure you look beautiful! And completely supported. Go, girl! Hey, maybe there's a market for sexy support hose and belly bras. Time to put all those hormones to good use. :-)

Thanks, Susan. That was so cute! Did Haley come up with the script herself? I laughed when I saw the little dog. Thanks for the comic relief, and what a talented daughter you have! :-)

Congratulations! Seeing your little boy, I'm sure mine is a little girl. Sonograms are so much fun to see. Congrats!

Me, too! I just received STS when I found out I was pregnant and never quite finished Mesocycle 1 (and I never even tried some of the Ab Circuits). Once the baby is born and I'm clear to exercise, I will get going on STS and Shock Cardio. Woo-hoo!

Hi everyone, Sorry I have been MIA for awhile. As D-Day approaches, it seems there is more and more to do, especially at work. I had my baby shower on Saturday and it was great. I feel very blessed to have such a large family. We got just about everything, except for some of the expensive...

Hi everyone, I've been away for a few days and catching up on e-mails now. I was glad to read that everyone seems to be hanging in there! I went on a hospital tour on Sunday. Since this is my first child, I was very glad to do it. They told us where to park on D-Day and showed us the...

Oh--I forgot to comment on cramping. I get cramps on my side, too, if I walk too fast or exercise too hard. Last weekend, I was doing a very low-impact step workout (just the platform) and got such a bad cramp even when doing very low kicks (I really didn't think I was working that hard). I...

Fat Cheeks?? Hi everyone, Christine, sorry to hear about your husband's job. My husband's job too has been shaky in this economy; he's in commercial construction and they forced everyone at the company to take a 10% pay cut. I'm always thankful that I love my job and I have so much...

Hi everyone! Melanie, thanks for posting the tummy shot in the last e-mail chain. Can't believe there are two in there, you look great. :-) And thanks everyone for sharing photos and pics of their baby stash. It's getting me excited about the stash I need to pull together. And hi everyone...

I asked this same question when I found out I was pregnant. :-) I still use many of Cathe's DVDs, I just keep them low impact now. Also, I just use the platform of my step and no risers, and I lift much lighter than before pregnancy (I put STS aside after pregnancy week 7). As others said...

Just want to add that I'm still hungry all the time, too! But with advice from this forum, I think I finally have that under control with better eating--I pack hard-boiled eggs, low-fat cheese, fruit, and crackers with me every day (in other words, LOTS of small snacks). And I literally eat...

Where did this energy come from? OK. Something is backwards here. In my first trimester, when I used to be a two-workouts-a-day fitness queen, I could do nothing but sleep, feel nautious, and cry (OK so my hormones were way out of whack and I was ready to divorce my DH over the smallest things...

Good morning, Melanie, Susan, Jen, and everyone, Melanie, sorry about the emotional lows and other issues. I would agree that you can practice Kegels for a lot if these types of issues. I know I have! If you are a Babies R Us person, they're having a big sale. Here's the Web site...
