Good morning you beautiful ladies!

I don't feel 1/2 bad this AM, which is good b/c I was dragging my feet yesterday & really feeling bummed that I had to work again. I"m still banging my head for agreeing to work these extra hours in town. But my upcoming schedule will help. 1-more day on, 2 days off, 1-day on, 2 days off,...then a little burst again.

I'm waking up a bit before I conquer my exercise. Probably a cardio coach. 40 minutes---3 miles or so.

Have an awesome day ladies.
 
Hi ladies,
Melanie--Glad you're feeling better this morning! Your workout sounds like fun. Are you a runner?

Kate--Hope you're having a good morning!

Hi to everyone else! Happy Friday!!
---------
Well, I didn't sleep much last night at all. I guess I'm getting eager/anxious. We're rethinking our name choice. DH really likes a name that his mom hates (because she knows someone with that name and HAAAATES him. In fact, when we told her that we almost named Henry this name, she said, Oh, thank God you didn't...). So, we've decided to wait until he's born to really decide between the two. If he's got brown or blond hair, he'll be our first choice of names, if he's a redhead like Oliver, he'll be this name because it's more unique. Anyway... I'm having some pretty big contractions this a.m. Trying to finish up some last-minute cleaning before I go to the doc --I want the house to be straight just in case she checks me in. If I have to have a week full of sleepless nights like last night, I kind of wish she'd go ahead and deliver me. Anyway, if you don't hear from me again this weekend, it may be that I'm giving birth --or it could be that my computer is on the fritz again. It's been acting funny. Well, Hope you all have a Fantabulous Friday!!!
 
Melanie, Any fun plans for your days off coming up?

Stephanie, We can't wait to hear from you again - whatever the news may be!

Got Isabel off to preschool and I just finished ME. I skipped the lunges, abs, and some if the leg presses. I'm definetly slowing down!:mad: I give new meaning to the term "Slow & Heavy"!:p:D

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Good morning ladies,

Well, I am running a little bit late. Didn't sleep to well last night. I think I am going to get a test this morning, still no AF.

My workout today will be GS Chest and Triceps and I really need to do some abs.

Melanie - Glad to hear you are feeling better and you are almost off for 2 days, yeah!!!

Stephanie - Good luck, I sure hope that she will let you have the baby now.

Kate - You are too funny "slow and heavy", hehe.

Good morning to everyone who follows.
Kristine :)
 
Good morning. (or afternoon now!)

Kate~lol at new meaning to slow and heavy. At least you are still doing something!!

Stephanie~oh good luck at the dr. Maybe you will have the little guy this weekend!! Can't think of a better way to spend the weekend!

Melanie~glad you are feeling good! A few days off sound good too. You work so much it'll be a nice break for you!

Kristine~good luck if you test. They do make $1 tests at the dollar general. They work just as good. : )


Well just puttering around today. going to try to organize some stuff in the baby room. We are picking up a dress tonight I found on a local cheapcycle. It is a $350 dresser for $25.. said it needs some work, but the picutre looks good so we are going to get it. It is a KAthy Ireland piece so it's good quality. I was just going to get a small plywood type one from walmart, but this will work too for that price! We got some paving stones and bricks Monday night off freecycle. I have plans this weekend for DH to put them out front. LOL I want a patio out there w/a fire pit and so we can grill out and sit in our rockers. We looked at lows and those stones were like $3-$5 EACH... we got about 50 of them for free from someone on freecycle. I am so excited. DH is not so much because he has to do the work. LOL
 
Trish the Bargain Hunter - Good for you! I love a good deal!

JenP, Just read your post from last night - glad you've got sexy toes! :p Have a fun night tonight and I hope the applesauce goes well too!
 
Hi all,
I am new to this forum. I just had my apt today and found out I am 7weeks pregnant. I am so happy. We have been trying for over a year. HOpe things go well. Once my nausea gets less I will be able to get back on the wagon and start working out again. Hope to chat with you soon. Heidi.
 
Congratulations Heidi! Glad to have you join us!!
I had a few weeks where I exercised *very* little while the nausea was at full peak. Don't beat yourself up abouit it at all! You're growing a baby!
Hope all goes well for you!
 
Well, I got two different test from the 99c store and they are both negative. Bummer, but still no AF either, well I am sure it'll come soon then.

Heidi - Welcome and congratulations on your pregnancy! My daughter's name is Heidi as well ;).

I am going to do my workout now and get my mind of things.
 
Hi ladies!
Kristine--Don't get too upset. It took three tests with my first child and multiple tests with both my other children before I got a BFP! Maybe it's just too soon. I'm crossing my fingers!

Heidisue--Congratulations!!! How exciting! Hope the nausea passes soon!

Trish--Yey on your bargains! Sounds great! What is freecycle? Sounds amazing!

Kate--Slow and Heavy my foot! You're the fittest pregger girl I've ever known!! ---------
Well, Doc's visit was a bit disappointing. Still just 2 cm dilated, but now 60 percent effaced. I didn't gain any weight this week, which was nice. They monitored me because I told them I had been contracting some, but wouldn't you know it, only one contraction in 20 minutes. UGH! So, he's hanging in there until Thursday, which is fine. I selfishly wanted her to check me in ASAP just because my house is so clean and straight, and I know that all of my men will destroy it this weekend, and I'll have to start over on Monday. ANYWAY, DH is taking the boys to Oliver's school's fall festival tonight, and I'm staying home. I should go too, but I think I'll let them have buddy-time. Tomorrow will be busy. The boys have soccer games and soccer pictures, and Henry has a bday party that DH is taking him to, while Oliver and I have a date. I'm afraid with school and everything he is going to feel kind of brushed aside when the baby comes, so I want to spend some quality time with him this weekend. We're going to lunch and then to Target to get his friend a bday gift. He also wants to buy the baby a gift. How sweet is that?
Anyway... yes, I know, I'm rambling again... Hope everyone is having a good Friday!! Who else is totally psyched about the debate tonight? (It's like the Superbowl for me... Sure hope it's still on.)
