    Jen, I'm glad your ultrasound went well. Isn't it cool? Just think Jen- 7 more teaching days until vacation! Imani, start getting excited about it. Although now I have a visible tummy, 3 weeks ago it wasn't so noticable, and I couldn't believe what i saw on screen was in my belly. Can't...

    losing strength and stamina

    Congratulations Jeanne! Like Wendy mentioned, I too tired easily and just did what I could concerning my workouts. Since I also work, it seemed I only had the energy in my first trimester to workout on the week-ends, after a good night's sleep first thing in the morning. Do what you can-...

    Good postpartum workouts?

    Hi Brigitte! I'm still mid-way throught my first pregancy, but I would recommend Cathe Basic Step and Body Fusion. I'm using this DVD now that I have to modify my Cathe workouts, and I think it would be a great beg/int. DVD to get back into fitness again. There's a good stability ball/ab...

    Jen, I haven't made any plans for when I leave, but I think I should start packing some boxes so I can gradually empty out. I do want to leave some materials for my substitute though. Imani, How cool to feel the baby move! I'm not sure if I've felt movement yet, as I feel lots of...

    maternity workout clothes

    Hi Imani! I know that I'll be outgrowing my workout clothes soon, too. Right now jogging pants are good for when I weight train, but I like to wear shorts when I do cardio because I get too hot covering all of the legs. I'm thinking of going to WalMart to look for cotton shorts with an...

    Moms-to-be Check-in: Week of 11/28

    Hi everyone! Welcome, Heather and Lyndzebird! Last week I had my ultrasound, and found out our firstborn will be a boy! It was so slick to watch his little skeleton moving around, checking him out from all angles. It was clear to see his heart beating, but the other internal organs were...

    Amusing article about pregnancy weight gain

    Thanks for the article! We all know when we're eating to excess, and when we're eating because we're hungry. When my doctor advised me to eat more meals a day, in smaller portions, I had already discovered that that was what my body craved and need too. When I do get the munchies, I have...

    Do you think I am?

    You could be! Go buy a pregnancy test and see- it will detect if your HCG Hormone has been released due to pregnancy. Why second guess?:*

    Sagging belly skin

    Also remember Rachel that it took 9 months to stretch out your belly- to expect it to shrink back and firm up in 6 weeks would be a miracle! Don't be discouraged- it will take some months to get back there (according to my family and friends).

    so my professor...

    Back when I took my B. Ed at University I couldn't beleve some of my professors either. We students had a saying- those who cannot teach teach at university. A teacher who puts a student down, regardless of age (adults like you or 6 year olds I teach), is not someone fit for teaching. I...
