Hi Jen! Glad to hear you're still hanging in there. I too am finding it difficult now to do cardio after a full day of teaching, so I work out on the week-ends now. The toughest part for me is handling all the school stairs with a loaded knapsack (a workout in itself:P ). I plan on...

Being able to see every baby toe of the foot? Too funny. Right now I can sometimes see my tummy is not symetrical due to the baby's position. His head sticks out right under my ribs on the right, and it's so easy to feel his hard skull. It's pretty cool, but aches likes crazy, and makes...

Yup! I'm there with you all! Another 6+ weeks of this... Grrrrr.... Jennifer 34 weeks

Wendy, I too have the same problem! The less time I spend time standing during the day the better I sleep. I've been told that magnesium supplements work well too, but I think it's best to speak to your doctor and hear what s/he has to say. Jennifer 33 weeks

Congratulations, Brigitte! Keep us updated, your story is motivational for me, as now I'm thinking about being lazier with exercise, with still a couple months to go. Another bonus about exercising and eating right- being able to stay regular, if you know what I mean!;) I also credit it...

Hi Imani! Until the ultrasound determines the size of your baby, don't worry about it yet (easier said than done, I know!) You are due soon for a second ultrasound soon anyway (mine is tomorrow), and believe me, there's nothing like seeing your little one to reassure you that everything's...

Hi Jen! I too have sore legs at the end of the day, especially after a day of teaching. Fortunately, no swelling yet, but I have sore legs and pelvis from the extra weight I'm carrying. Oh, and I forgot to mention many constant aches in my ribs from baby pressing up on them. Do I really...

Congratulations! My husband and I were thrilled and glued to the screen on our first ultrasound. Today we volunteered our baby to a 3D ultrasound where student technicians practice using the latest modern equipment. To have this done usually costs a pretty penny, so we jumped on the chance...

Hi everyone! I think I spent more time previewing the new Cathe workouts than actually doing them this week!!! Mon. Cathe Supersets Thurs. Cathe Gym Style Back, Shoulders and Biceps Fri Cathe Gym Style Chest and Triceps Sat. Walking I tried Low Max today and I'm so thrilled that I...

Jenni, I too wish to extend my sympathies. I'll be thinking of you on Monday. <<Hugs>> Jennifer V

RE: Oops, typo! I agree with everyone too on this, Wendy. At 30 weeks, I've gained 32 pounds as of today (I was at Dr's today). My doc only commented when I gained 9 pounds in one month, but since it has been steady, and I swear my eating habits haven't changed too much (Except a few days...

RE: A strange Hi Wendy! Your torso is getting wider. Your ribs are expanding to make room for your baby. Now is the time to start using a looser setting on your bras. Maternity stores also carry little expansion pieces for hooking your bras as you get larger for a few $. It's normal...

Hi Jen! I still haven't been told who my replacement will be. Having the new sub shadow you for a couple of days is an excellent idea, so that s/he gets an idea of the routine. The young students really need the stability of the same routine, and I hope your new sub takes that into...

Jenni, I'm glad your news was well received! I told my employers at the 3 month mark, and I felt comfortable about it as there always seems to be one teacher pregnant every year, and so the school is used to getting replacements! As far as decsions about going back to work later, I'm...

My thoughts are with you as you go through such a difficult decision. Lots of hugs, and keep us posted when you can! Jennifer V 29 weeks

Hi everyone! I too have had a light week. It seems when I have a full work week, I don't have the energy for cardio in the evenings anymore. As it is, I get up at 5:40 a.m. for work, I certainly don't want to get up any earlier, even if my energy levels are better in the morning. To top...
