Cathe - Congratulations and the best for you and your boys. Jackie

Stupendous news...... Thanks for sharing with us. I'm so happy for you and your hubby (and your little chalupa). Jackie D.

I confess I got more out of yoga breathing and relaxation techniques than I did out of the Lamaze method covered very briefly in my childbirth class. But a lot of time was spent covering what happens after the birth, which was new information for me. I'm glad I took it. Also, the class I took...

Nicknames for my boy... His name is Erik, but you'd never know it from what we call him. We called him "Cletus the Fetus" (who can't wait to meet us) before he was born. We still lapse into calling him Cletus now. Also, Booboo McGoo and Monsieur Lepoopee Diapares.

Camille - I've been watching the boards and almost called you (but got sidetracked by my four-month old). Congratulations - let's do breakfast at the Vienna Inn to celebrate. I miss being pregnant, too, but I think it's because it was MUCH easier than being a mother. Take care and enjoy...

Sheila/Cathe - I want to start seriously working on my abs (I'm 2 months post-partum). If I actually find the time to do it, is there anything I shouldn't do? In general, is there anything I shouldn't do (specific to being post-partum)? Jackie

Thanks for the info...I was bumming out thinking I wouldn't be able to do interval workouts while I was breastfeeding - I'm going to try to breasfeed for a year. That's a long time to go with no intervals...

Can I do interval workouts while breastfeeding? I thought I read somewhere that the breastmilk will taste unpleasant to the baby because of excess lactic acid, but I can't remember where I read it or when. I was wondering if Sheila or Cathe could enlighten me on the "real" scoop.

Congratulations - she's a beauty! Jackie P.S. I find breastfeeding MUCH harder than I thought it would be...

I had great luck with this site This site had nursing bras in hard-to-find sizes (32A to 48K) - they were prompt and everything fit JUST right. Now if I could just find some nice nursing tops... http://www.birthandbaby.com/stores/Family_Resources/categories/cp1.html Jackie

No advice to offer... Lynn - My nausea was accompanied by extreme fatigue, so I took weeks 8-11 off from exercise and just walked as much as I could with the dog. Just getting up in the AM and going to work exhausted me. Other than trying all the tricks to keep morning sickness at bay (I...

More congratulations... I just wanted to add my congratulations to ALL the rest. Jackie

I trust everyone else will give the exercise advice. I'll get to the food. I didn't know I would have to give up all kinds of food after I got pregnant. If I had known, I would have had a farewell feast of the following: -sushi -feta, brie, gruyere, goat cheese, and any other soft white...

RE: thanks cathe and crew I want to add my thanks and sincere appreciation for everything that Cathe and the club staff did to make me feel welcome. I had a wonderful time and hope that it will be my first Cathe trip of many. Nancy - I held out on the mini-Oreos as long as I could. I...

I got a pair of running tights made by Mothers in Motion at a store called Fleet Feet. Mothers in Motion has a catalog (probably have a website, too, but I'm not sure of the web address). I also got a matching top and long pants (for aerobics) at Motherhood (they're in just about every big...

Thanks Lisa Lisa - Thanks for your response - it makes me feel a little better. Last week, I was about to lock the door as I left for work, and one Ah-choo later, I'm back in the shower - nobody warned me about this! Jackie

What I try to eat... I was a very healthy eater before pregnancy (lots of fish, tofu, and veggies, no red meat). With pregnancy, my tastes (and cravings) have changed. The thought of tofu sends me to the bathroom to "sing the porcelain yodel". I've been doing bean salads (the only salads I...

I'm in the same boat... I'm constantly nauseous, but haven't thrown up during my pregnancy thus far (14 weeks). I have very little appetite, but I try to eat nutritionally dense foods. I know the prenatal vitamin is to blame for some of my nausea - I even went back to the OB and got a...
