I had baby #2 almost 3 weeks ago and am frustrated that the scale has been stuck for 2 weeks--actually I've gained 2 lbs! pre-preg:125 delivery:146 Today:131 I was keeping my calories at around 2000, as I didn't want to compromise my already low milk supply. After trying what seems like...

I posted this in the Pregnancy/Post-Partum forum as well.... Can anyone suggest a core workout that is targeted to pregnancy? I have a 2-finger split in my abs from DS and am 14 weeks pregnant with baby #2 (DS is 11mo old). My abs never came back in like I wanted (the muscles stuck out). I've...

Can anyone suggest a core workout that is targeted to pregnancy? I have a 2-finger split in my abs from DS and am 12 weeks pregnant with baby #2. My abs never came back in like I wanted (the muscles stuck out). I've read that traditional crunches and anything that has both lower body and...

Hmm....healthy and baked goods...three words not usually together! I'm dealing with morning sickness, and as with my last pregnancy, eating baked goods, chips, and other crap makes me feel a TON better! Why can't lettuce and carrots do that??! I am determined not to come out of my first...

Well....after a very fast 8 months since my son Caden was born last September, it appears I'll be spending another anniversary unable to celebrate with a bottle of wine! We weren't planning on trying for another couple months or so. It's still pretty early..only 5 weeks. I have such a hard time...

Does anyone else feel like a "slacker" when you do a workout less than an hour long? I know it's absolutely ridiculous to feel that way! Prior to being pregnant and having my son last September, I averaged 6-8 hours/week. Now I'm averaging 45 minutes, 5-6 days/week. Even though I know I'm...

I just had to share this video of my little guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqdPScqEPe4 Once you get about 25 seconds in, you'll see why I think it's so funny that he's lifting his legs. :) Your videos are so good that you can even convince a 3 month old to work out! :)

I've been kind of MIA on the boards lately, as I recently started back to work full-time :(, but I finally have a minute to ask my burning question...and I'm sure one that comes up often. How in the world am I going to get my mid-section back? I had my baby 3 months ago, and all things...

I know that immunizations can be a highly controversial topic, and I'm not looking to debate the pros/cons here. We know that we are going to vaccinate--it's just a matter of whether we are going to do EVERY vaccination and whether we use an alternative, more spread out or delayed schedule...

Good Thursday morning everyone! Kristan-Happy belated birthday to Gus! Kate-I've been getting quotes on having my house cleaned e/o week once I go back to work. I'm looking for just the basics (kitchen, bathroom, vacuum, dust), and it looks like it's about $70/cleaning. Is that the going...

Since Caden was born, it's been nearly impossible for us to get him to sleep in his crib, despite trying nearly every trick in the book (sleep positioner, breast milk on a shirt, inclined bed, white noise, etc). He will occasionally nap alone on the couch. He hates the swing and isn't a fan of...

Just browsed through Thursday's post. Caden is sitting in his bouncy, which is always short-lived, so I better make this quick. When I have some extra time, I need to study up on everyone! I'm still struggling with overnights with Caden. He's a little over 5 weeks, and has an awful time...

Caden Nicholas decided that 38 1/2 weeks was long enough for him inside. :) Our little guy was born early Tuesday morning, weight 6lbs 4oz, 20in long. I love cuddling with my little sweetheart, but he will not sleep unless he's being held. We've tried the bouncy seat and bassinet but no...

I'm sure this concern has been posted somewhere along the way, but I can't seem to find anything. Although I'm happy that I've been able to continue working out at at least a moderate level throughout my pregnancy, I'm worried about the time off I'll need to take after delivery. Six weeks...

I finally went to my much anticipated 20week ultrasound. For fun, I hadtried the chinese gender chart, and it said I was having a girl. I've also had several dreams since they beginning of my pregnany, and in each one I had a baby girl. I've had SUCH strong feelings I was having a...

I know that I need to stop doing a lot of my cathe ab workouts, due to being in my 4th month and needing to stay off my back. Does anyone have recommendations for pregnancy core workouts? I enjoy using the stability ball, but I'm open to exploring all other options as well. TIA! lisa

Has anyone else found it more difficult to build (even slightly) or maintain muscle mass and definition during pregnancy? I'm still lifting the same amount of weights, but it feels like my arms are back to long and skrawny! x( Is it possible that I'm having a more difficult time due to the...

Hope everyone had a nice holiday weekend. I think I enjoyed it a little too much....I think I must have eaten nearly 2 days worth of calories in 1 day! :9 Got on the scale with my eyes closed this morning and told DH, "ok, if it's over XXXlbs, just tell me to get off the scale." Well, needless...

I finally had my second dr. appointment yesterday. I had been counting down the weeks since my first appointment because I was really, really anxious to have the reassurance that the pregnancy was still progressing. I'm such a worrier x( We had an ultrasound, and "WOW"! I could not believe...

We'd like to see a movie this weekend, and we were thinking about Vantage Point or Definitely, Maybe. Anyone seen either of these? Any others you would suggest? I'm looking for a good drama, thriller, or romance. TIA! lisa
