Oh my gosh! I finally got a chance to do this workout today and I thought Cathe was trying to kill me! I had just finished a 3 month STS rotation when this series arrived and was feeling really strong. This workout showed me that I still have a long way to go! I love, love, love these low...

I just finished After Burn and loved it, but it's tough! Some of the cardio using sliding disks worked muscles I wasn't aware I had. I have knee issues, but the workout didn't bother my joints - just made me huff and puff in a good way.

So hard to believe our little ones are already 1 isn't it? Morgan just had her one year check up today and I talked to the pediatrician about weaning her from the bottle. She has been drinking whole cow's milk for 3 weeks now (except I used formula when we traveled recently because I didn't...

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's experienced this. I was feeling like I'd lost my mind (okay, the sleep deprivation may have contributed to that). I knew I wasn't washing my clothes any differently and my bra size is the exact same as it was before I got pregnant. It's like my torso is...

I've been doing the best I can with nursing and pumping. I don't think my supply has ever been great and pumping has neither increased nor reduced the amount I produce. Since my daughter was 2 weeks old, we've had to supplement with formula. On the days I'm home with her, she nurses for 30...

Hi Ladies, I have a question for all of you postpartum mommies - did any of you feel that your shirts were shorter after you were pregnant? I'm now 6 months postpartum and I've been back to my pre-pregnancy weight for 3 months. Admittedly, I'm not quite to my pre-pregnancy shape, but I'm...

I don't really have any good advice either. Morgan is inconsistent with her naps. She naps best when she's tired after being awake all morning. She wakes up around 7, and then is ready for a nap by 1. I nurse, so she usually falls asleep nursing (I know it's a bad habit, but it's how we're...

Congrats Winter! She's gorgeous! (sorry I'm a little late - I hadn't checked the forums since the holidays) -Carrie

Hi Ladies! I'm still around, but I really only get the chance to check the forums once every few weeks. It seems like I only have time to work out about that much too! Morgan is doing well and we love being her parents. She'll be 6 months old this week. She's not sitting yet without...

i don't have any advice - just empathy! my dd is also 4 months old and still waking up to eat in the middle of the night. between taking care of her and working 10 hour days when i go to work 3 days a week, i'm chronically exhausted. i try to work out in the evenings on my days at home when...

I just wanted to say that I too am sorry that you and your family have to go through this. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. -Carrie

That's a good question and I'm afraid I don't know the answer. I'm 3 1/2 months postpartum. Just last week I had patches of dry, red skin on my face (which I've never had before) and a friend said it was probably due to hormones. I think I feel like my normal self, but it's hard to say...

Liann - I forgot to thank you for your advice about the pumping. I'm having a hard time keeping up my supply. I do drink the Mother's Milk tea and take Fenugreek. I hadn't heard of Blessed Thistle, but I'll look for it. I'm planning to keep trying with the pump and hope for the best. Carrie

Liann - Morgan loves the TV too!! I don't let her watch it for more than 5 minutes or so at a time, but she seems to like the light, movement, voices, etc. She may end up being a TV junkie like her mommy - whoops! It's hard to believe she's already 11 weeks old. She is able to sleep...

Thanks guys! I think it'll be a good one. My little girl had her 2 month check up today and had to get 3 vaccines, so I was dreading it. But she did really well and now I can enjoy the rest of the day!! Thanks for the birthday wishes!! Carrie

Hi Winter! I just wanted to say congratulations on having a little girl! I agree with you - once I found out that I was having a girl, the pregnancy became more real to me as well. Try not to worry too much about the movement. I only felt my little one moving in the evenings and the doctor...

Hi girls!! Thanks for starting this thread Liann. I was wondering how everyone was doing. There are definitely a lot of challenges to being a new mom and taking care of a newborn, so it's nice to hear what others are going through and know that I'm not alone. Morgan is doing really well...

I think the kind I buy says to throw it out 10 days after it's been opened regardless of the expiration date. It should say on the carton somewhere. Hmmm, now I have a craving for a glass of almond milk!!

Everyone has really good suggestions - I appreciate that. I found 15 minutes today to do the pilates sections from STS abs. Wow do my abs suck!! I am sooo weak :-( Oh well - I knew it would take time and effort for me to get back in shape. That's why I'm so anxious to find time now to...

thanks for your replies everyone - i really appreciate all of your responses. lori, you may be right. i was wondering if i should just wait until she's on a better schedule and i admit taking naps when she sleeps is helpful. otherwise i do feel like a walking zombie (it's funny you said...
