Morris- Sharon Twombley's stuff is on Netflix if you want to try it before you buy it. All Body Cardio is on the CIA Double Cardio DVD. All Body Attack is on netflix too. It's a lot like Cathe DrillMax, although I think the cardio is harder and the weights are a little easier. Sharon is very...

I am thinking of buying this. I've done All Body Attack and All Body Cardio. How does Ath Step Jam compare? Obviously it's more step without circuits. I think ABA and ABC are great DVD's and pretty challenging. I'm looking for some new step that's more steady state (I am 28 weeks pregnant)...

HI everyone. I didn't get a change to tell Anne how sorry I am for her situation. I am sitting here eating Hostess mini powdered do-nettes and drinking coffee. We have a birthday party to attend today and I am planning on doing some serious cooking this afternoon. I got a call from the...

Morris- my kids come late. They grow big with no exit strategy. But, I've made a lot of childbirth decisions based on babies identified as big via u/s and then wind up being the same 9 pounds, 22 inches. I know that's big, but it's not 10 pounds+. I scheduled a c/section because I was told...

The glucose thing was fine. I think the dr. calls me if there are problems. I got another ultrasound today. The baby measures about 29+ weeks; I am about 27+ weeks. Not surprising- my kids were all big. Fluid levels were good. Baby is breech, but I think a couple of my other kids have...

Hello. Not much to report, except that we enjoyed lovely weather this weekend. Had a nice brunch with some of my husband's family today. Lots of gardening, kids bike riding, neighborhood walking, playgrounds, etc. Jen- should I get the Dave's tanner? What was your experience? My week...

Kate- it wasn't so bad with the gender switch. I really didn't care what I was having so that wasn't an issue. Like you, I had 2 girls already so I hadn't bought anything or redecorated to plan for a 3rd girl. And because we hadn't found out the gender of our first child, we had plenty of...

Lisa- I hope you feel better. What a double whammy. Yuck. Can you tell the difference in the type of nausea between the flu and morning sickness? My m/s always felt like a nasty hangover. Morris- I am going to wait on the brand new Bento's until they're at Netflix. If I like them after...

Lisa- I hope your ultrasound goes well. Kate- I have only bought a couple of things for this pregnancy and that will be it. I didn't have much cool weather stuff because my other kids were all fall babies and we have Indian summers around here. My summer stuff is pretty cute; I am excited...

Here's what I've owned: double umbrella- side by side- decent for the mall, but can be hard on pavement, etc. double Mountain Buggy- loved this for neighborhood walks until it was stolen http://www.mountainbuggystrollers.com/Mountain-Buggy-Urban-Double.pro?sNav=0 double Baby Jogger...

Anne- what wonderful news! I am so happy things look good so far. Morris- your parental situation sounds tough. I was very young when my parents divorced; I think it would be hard as an adult because you have to be there to "pick up the pieces." Maggie- I wish you'd tell me the names...

I am 26 weeks. I find that I can do about everything I did before, with some exceptions. I just quit running. My hips, bladder and round ligaments cannot handle it. At the last week of pregnancies, I'll start running again to shake the baby loose, but that never works. I find I can work...

Maggie- no pool of our own. In winter we go to the YMCA. I swim laps while the older girls take swim lessons. My husband thinks I look like a huge dork with my swim cap and goggles. He was surprised to learn that I wear the cap NOT because I think I'll swim faster, but because it protects my...

Happy Easter to you as well. We went to mass and then to meals at my husband's mom/dad and my mom's house. I ate a lot of good food; totally worth it. Anne, I am queen of heartburn. I only get it when pregnant and I get it bad- reflux in the middle of the night and I cannot swim without...

My kids have a terrible time teething. My pediatrician tells me to alternate tylenol and ibuprofen every three hours (ibu. at 9, tyl. at 12, ibu at 3, etc). It seems to take the edge off teething pain. Personally, tylenol works for my kids as well as it works for me- as in it doesn't work AT...

re strollers: I spent a lot of time at strollerqueen.com and bought her 2008 roll out guide for help picking out new strollers. Ours are all trashed. I've always been under the impression that the big wheeled baby jogger is the best for actual running. If you're more of a neighborhood...

Kate/Morris- is ASC1 the DVD with a bazillion straddle taps? I know I've done it, but cannot remember it. I may request it from Netflix again. Speaking of Netflix, I have Bento Hi/Lo Extreme on the way and also Prenatal Pilates (with Lizbeth Garcia, who my husband finds totally 'hot'- you...

Anne- I am keeping my fingers and eyes crossed for you tomorrow. Morris- I love getting work out DVD's on Netflix. Most of the CIA videos are available. Jaypea and ChefKate- hoping you guys feel better. I lived on poptarts and pepsi the first trimester. I just took my girls to High...

Hello. My husband was sick on Monday, then my 5yo was sick yesterday; just waiting for the other 2 kids to get sick. Morris- I eat Panera bagels ALL the time (and not the whole grain ones either). Not saying I am a model of nutrition, but don't feel bad about just one. Panera donates the...

I also got a good run in today (just 4 miles). I was a little uncomfortable at first, but then it felt WONDERFUL to be outside and get my blood pumping. That's so funny about reaction to exercise/pregnancy. My secretary is driving me CRAZY. She's only a few years older than me and scolds...
