It's 2AM, I've beem awake for an HOUR!!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad: I slept so great last night - was hoping for the same tonight. I'll finish typing this and then do some hypno-birthing practice.

Isabel and I have some errands this AM and out to lunch for us. I think we're going to end up out to dinner too - Gina's school open house is tonight so we'll go to that and meet her teacher. I'm excited to go - I hope I like her teacher.

This baby is movin' and groovin'! She says "Let me out of here!!!!" I need to post a pic. I look so low, like she's about to fall right out. Everywhere I go I get comments.....and I've got 6 more weeks to go. This baby BETTER come early!:D (Do you hear that, Miss Julia???!!!;))

Workout will be GS Legs after DDs go to bed. I'm going to try legs again - hopefully my ligaments don't put up too much of a fuss!:eek:;) If they do I guess I'll be a the chiro Friday AM!!:D

off to hypno myself......:)
 
Good morning all!
Im at work, just checking in

Kate - i'm sorry you didnt get any sleep. HOpefully you got back to bed after your posting. Me..i sleep like a baby and once again got to bed way too late so i'm feeling it. Today is my friday tho - i love having fri/sat/sun off every week!

What is hypno birthing? That might be a dumb question. I've seen you post about it before but I dont really know what it is and never looked it up. You be careful with your legs missy. I think you dont listen to your body and just need workouts (which is how i am). Just dont hurt yourself ok?? :) I'm such a nag, sorry.

I hope everyone was able to get rest and I hope you all have a great day
 
Morning!
There must be something in the air dh and I both got up comaplaining about not sleeping! Yawn!!
Kate, yes office is much better than Barbies. But...Haley gets the real desk and she sets me up in her room with a makeshift desk..haha..I do get a little done though.
JenM-HI!! I love the crib you picked out.
Haley loved gymnastics and there is a little girl from her class in there. She took gymnastics when she was younger in Miss, but hasnt wanted to again until now. Shes got the perfect little muscular body for it. Im glad she likes it.
Today is my first quiz in A&P then a real exam next Tuesday. I love tests!!!!
Well its about time to get dd up and moving. Its so nice her not complaining about going to school. She really likes it. Kate-how did yesterday go with Gina??
 
Well........I had a great night sleep. I sleep AWFUL when I'm pg though. Right off the bat, it must be a hormonal thing for me. I even got a prescription for
Ambien (just as safe as Tylenol in pg). I hope menopause won't be like that for us!

I have the day off again...gotta love a 30 hour work week. Anyway, I'm taking the little ones to go watch the big one play his first football game. They're playing about 90 minutes away. I'm pretty excited. I missed ALL of his crosscountry meets last year b/c I was working so much. It feel so good to be able to do these things. :)

I did Imax3 yesterday, either step or kickbox today. Maybe ASC3. I tried it once & really liked it. I did sections 1 & 2 two times so I could work on the tricky footwork. ;)

Have a great day ladies!
 
Hi ladies!
Kate--Sorry for the insomnia. I hope that you got back to bed and got some sleep! i'm glad your DD likes first grade!! Have fun at open house! I hear ya about carrying low. I feel like my belly is dragging the ground. Even my shirts have trouble covering it up. :confused: I still have a belly button though!!

Jen2--Yey on the long weekend! Have a good day at work!

Susan--Good luck on your quiz today. You love tests?? Were you being sarcastic?? I'm SO not a test person. Glad Haley is loving gymnastics!

Melanie--Yey on the day off! Have fun at football tonight! And quit braggin about your good night's sleep! :)
---------
Well, I'm just about to take Henry to preschool. It was close to 11:30 before I got him to sleep last night because he was scared of the dark again. I had to leave the hall light on, spray "Go Away Monster Spray," say a special prayer for good dreams and move the dog's bed into his room so he'd calm down. He slept all night though. And after all of that I was exhausted!! I slept with one ear open though all night just knowing he'd wake up and be scared again. Today I am SO sore from my exam yesterday. I feel funny "down there" too. Told DH to keep his cell phone on. I plan on cleaning house today --hope it doesn't throw me into labor, but if this baby is coming soon, I want a clean house!! I'm so neurotic. I also need to pack my bag -- just in case. Anyway... Hope everyone has a great day!!! :)
 
Hi Melanie! Have fun today!
Stephanie-I really do love tests..I know I am wierd!!! Take it easy cleaning...how many weeks do you have to do? I should know by now but I just cant keep up with everyone!
I just got done with ME. I can now chest press a 10lb weight with my "bad" arm. It gives out at the very end..but its getting there. I still cant do pushups though..my arms totally gives out.
Im off to shower and last minute study. See ya'll after class this afternoon.
 
Just got back from taking Henry. I hate roadwork, by the way. Anyway ...

Melanie--The "Go Away Monster Spray" actually is rose-scented linen spray. I never use linen spray, but my mom and sister always give it to me. So I use it as my secret monster repellant. I think it's safer than using air freshener, and the boys are so impressed with the neat bottle and the fact that it smells good. Anyway...

Susan--I am scheduled for my c-section four weeks from today. :) (Oct. 2). That's one week prior to my due date. I'm probably crazy for cleaning. DH told me to take it easy, but I'll take it easy (while I clean). My mom will be staying here with the boys while I'm in the hospital, and I'd be mortified if she came before I dusted/vacuumed and scrubbed the bathrooms. I haven't dusted/vacuumed in TWO WEEKS, (very unlike me).

-----
OK off to see the View and start dusting.
 
It just took me 45 minutes to vaccuum my house...non-stop...non pregnant. Whew. What a workout. I love my Orbeck vaccuum. It's awesome, it's kinda hard to push though & I KNOW I get a great arm workout in.

Ahhhhhh, the nesting stage. Gotta love it. Enjoy it Stephanie. :)
 
Hi girls!!

I didn't sleep well last night either:mad: Then Wilson came in this morning and said something is very wrong with the pool and sure enough Mike left the water running all night and our pool was overflowing. After I took Wilson to school Owen and I got in to splash some of the water out.

Melanie, I previewd ASC3 today while on the elliptical. It looks like a lot of fun but it will be awhile b/f I am stepping again. I am glad your work schedule isn't so stressful and you can enjoy your boys:)

Stephanie, have you ever gone into labor early? I am cleaning house today too. I love a clean house but I hate cleaning it:)

Kate, good luck on GS legs that is a hard one. Do you do the floor work or skip it?

Susan, glad your arm is getting back to normal. Have fun in class!!

I'm off to clean toilets:D

Candra
 
JenM - Thanks for the concern on the leg WO's - I'll be careful!
Hypnobirthing is putting yourself into a state of deep relaxation for childbirth to the point where you feel no pain, just the pressure of a contracting uterus. Labors are typically shorter. You can read more about it at hypnobirthing.com.

Susan, Good luck on the quiz! Glad Haley is doing so well. Gina cried y'day AM but when she got off the bus she'd had another great day. No tears today, thank goodness!!!!

Melanie, Sounds like you're enjoying the new schedule! Glad you've got a little more mom time! Great WO's! I'm anxious to get back to serious stepping!

Stephanie, Good way to use up a bad gift! If I didn't have a housecleaner I wouldn't dust probably ever! It's such a thankless job.

Candra, Sorry you didn't sleep well either. I got back to sleep for a couple hours but I'm exhausted. Good way to take care of the pool problem! Wish we could go swimming, but we've got fall weather today - cool and rainy, but I actually love it!

Great day so far, except for Extreme Sleepiness. Hope everyone else is doing well.
 
Hi ladies,
Candra--That stinks about the pool! Hope your yard didn't get too muddy! I love a clean house too, but hate cleaning it, but am too much of a control freak to hire someone to do it. Once I get into it, I don't mind the actual dusting/vacuuming. It's the picking up after my little group of piggies that I cannot stand :confused:! As for the labor, I was induced one week early with both of my boys, but when I got to the hospital, they informed me I was 3 and a half cm dilated and contracting. So I guess, in a way, yes. Never delivered before I intended to, though, if that makes sense. I'm not sure how much they'll let me dilate before I have my c-section this time, though. I think that I heard somewhere that it's best to do those before the baby wiggles down into the birth canal?? I should know these things. Oh well...

Kate--How was the zucchini bread?? Glad your day is going well! Sorry for the sleepiness. I empathize!
----------
OK I'm off to make some Ghiardeli choc chip cookies. I've found they are better than homemade and much easier. I'm even using the egg beaters so I can indulge in some cookie dough!! If you guys hear of an odd earthquake in TN, it's not actually an earthquake, it's big fat me doing a happy dance in my kitchen!! :eek: (Though I'm officially, on the record, making them for the boys because they have no sweet treats in the house, and that's a sin.) Hope everyone has a lovely afternoon!!!
 
HI!
Back from school....I aced my quiz....now to study for the exam.
Kate-sorry you are so tired! I had the fight the sleepies in class.
Candra-HI!
Steph-I love cookie dough..YUM. I thought I felt a little quake earlier way over here in ARK..HAHA..you crack me up!!
Im having my Odwalla bar and soem decaff then its off to dance and open house at dd's school.
 
Stephanie, Still haven't made the bread....tomorrow I think. It's supposed to rain all day so that'll give us something to eat, er, I mean do. Yeah, something to DO!
I am ROTFLMBO about your earthquake/dancing! I read it to DH and he had quite a chuckle too! Thanks for the comedic relief! We needed it really bad!

Susan, ^5 on the quiz!

My RL pain is so bad and I haven't even started my leg WO. I'm going to do a 1-hr. Classical Stretch and call it a night. Active rest day.

Wish me luck sleeping tonight! Good luck to you too Candra.
And JenP, sending your house poop-be-gone vibes!!!~~~~~~~~~~~
 
Did I say stretch?! Well, I meant GS C&T!:) I needed to lift!! PLUS, this uses no LB work and the CS would've. See, I did my body a favor by lifting! Chiro tomorrow for the ligaments though!
 
Hi! It's been another very busy day. Thanks for sending the vibes my way, but the poop be-gone vibes are not working:confused:. DH had them bad lastnight and this morning (it never happens during the day). And, I had horrible pain/pressure from the baby topped off with bad gas and other unpleasantries tonight. I was sitting on the toilet crying hysterically about how bad it hurt:(. I am fine now, but I didn't eat supper yet. It's almost 9:00p.m. I have been sipping ginger ale. I do have an ob appt tomorrow, so I will defintely mention all this to her. Needless to say, I didn't get a workout in either:confused:. Can you say FLABBY?????????

O.K., enough complaining for one day!
Stephanie-I feel like my belly is about to explode too. I can't believe we have a month left. My C/S is for Oct 7th (new date). I hear you about the cleaning-leave it go and don't feel guilty!
Too funny about monster repellent.

Kate-How did the stretch feel? My RL gets me every now and then. Hope you sleep better tonight.

Jen #2-You get to bed early, girl! Have a nice long weekend!

Susan-I was thinking of enrolling my son in gymnastics. My friend told me about a good program here. I am glad DD likes it.

Hi to everyone else....the bathroom is calling:mad:
 
Oh jen, So sorry! Your poor family but most of all poor you! How come the date change for your C? Hope all is well. Sounds like you all need a weekend!!
 
Kate, how is your weight gain going? Doing better? I know you were a little concerned that you weren't gaining enough?

My weight is currently tied for my all time 10 year low. My pants fit perfect---even my "tight" ones. I really don't think I look smaller. My diet has been really clean---and my BMs are finally normal again.

It takes so long for a body to get back to "normal". My AF was really strange too. Strange colors & consistency. I suppose that is all normal? I"m hoping that we're able to get pg right away---I turned 35 in Jan---and we both agreed (18 years ago) NOT to have any babies after I turned 35. Sigh. We simply are not using contraceptive---so we'll see what happens.
 
Hi Everyone!
iVe been absent since this morning. work was busy off and on and i was looking at a baby name book that came with a gift my mom sent. it had over 13,000 names and what do you know - i could not find one boy or girl name :( i think i'm over thinking everything...did anyone else have such a hard time choosing a name???

I left work and did a workout when i got home. I pulled out an old vhs of Mindy Mylrea- Slamming Sports Cardio and it was pretty good. Not tough like cathe but it made me sweat. Then i tried the last of the new firms, hi def sculpt. that was... meh...

Kate i read your post about classical stretch and then i thought hmm..i bet she does something else and lo and behold the post below it was GS! LOL.

Jen sorry about teh aches and pains and general yuckiness in your household. must be abad bug going around :(

Yay on acing the quiz!

Melanie good luck on the TTC. dont rush it and just let yourself recover. I am sure it will happen with time. I hope your dreams come true :)

I dont have to get up early tomorrow because i have my usual long weekend off yay. Its 9pm and i just ate some dinner. We have NO food in the house so i sauteed some spinach and garlic with lemon and then made a peice of toast and put an egg with raw spinach and cheese for a sort of egg sandwich. it was yummy, but as usual my FAT butt is still hungry :)
