Morning-or if any of you were up all last night, not so good morning. What is the deal with insomnia around here lately? I could not shut off my brain. I worked out last night at 5 pm and that was probably the reason! Oh well, I have work on tap for today and that is about it.
Jenm-I totally agree about how much groceries cost. I have to go to walmart today so I will be reminded!
Kate-do you have a good zuchinni bread recipe? The one I have has so much oil, butm y kids love zucchini bread.
Melanie-glad to hear you got back to your fighting weight!
Candra-How are you feeling?
Stephanie- When did they move your csection to?
Susan-glad you are back. How did your tests go? A & P was such a hard class when I took it. you are such a good student!
I did lower intensity 4 ds yesterday, and I used 15lb for the overhead press in the shoulder section. It is amazing how fast you lose control of your core when pregnant. Its like you don't even have a muscle in there! Needless to say, I didn't make all of the reps...:eek: Today I will try something more tame.
Better run to drop off kids, have a great day.
 
Good Morning!
Hi Mikkia!! I did LI4ds the other day. I like the step for an easy quick workout. I have 4 weeks until I can do higher impact stuff. And to answer your question from the other day..I actaully have NOT hurt myself in a few weeks now..yayyy me!! I love science classes, but if I had to take college algebra or eng comp over again I would rather poke myself in the eye!!!!
Melanie-so exciting hearing you are ttc again. I do hope it happens quickly for you!!!!!!!!
HI to everyone to follow!!
Today I study and grocery shop. My dh's best bud is coming for the weekend to go dove hunting..whatever!!! Im making lasagna tonight and we're grilling out tomorrow night.
oopss dd is up...bbs
 
JenM - I do have other dvds - but the only ones I really use are my Cathes. Not sure of my count - I wouldn't want DH to see/know - I keep them stashed in mutilple places! No harm in a bowl of cereal - thats my favorite meal!

Mikkia, Another insomniac night here too - I'm getting very tired of this. I thought it was due in part to napping during the day so I pretty much quit naps but I still have the insomnia so go figure. Thanks, baby! I do have a healthier zuke. bread recipe - I'll try tp post it later. I'm discouraged at having to lower my weights too. All of the relaxin hormone scares me that I'll injure myself!

------------
Gina's on the bus (with complaining but no tears!). House cleaner comes in an hour then Isabel and I are headed off for a playdate at our preschool with the teacher. She does this at the start of every preschool year so the kids can see her before they officially start. No big plans after that. Oh, I really need to make the zuke. bread to use up the zukes. Wish me luck not eating a bakers dozen!
 
Hey Susan, You snuck in on me. Dh is doing gunmax this weekend huh? Lasagna sounds great!! I keep menaing to make a db. batch to freeze it for after Julia comes. But since I'm having enough trouble making our dinner each night it's waiting....:) Hope Haley has a good day - you too!
 
Good Morning!!

I didn't sleep well again either:mad: I can't seem to get comfortable at night. Oh well only 6 more weeks. I am determined to enjoy this pregnancy since it is more than likely my last:)

Mikkia, I don't like losing strength either and it seems it hit me really bad during the first trimester, but now I am lifting as much as I normally did with ub but not with lb. I also have a good zucchini bread recipe I got out of a fitness magazine that is not oily at all and it has peanut butter in it! If you want I can also post it.

Susan, my dh dove hunts also. He went Mon opening day and I think he is going again tonight. He takes the boys with him which makes me really nervous but they love it.

Kate, have a good day meeting Isabel's teacher and baking:)

Melanie, I am really excited to hear you are trying again!!

Jen, I hope you are feeling better. Let us know how the doctor appt goes.

JenM, enjoy your weekend and go get some food!

Tonight is my baby shower!! We are having it outside and I hope it is not too hot. It isn't starting until 7pm but the expected high today is 101:eek:

Candra

Candra, I'm trying hard too to enjoy this pg more than ever. Can't decide if we'll go for the 4th either. Time will tell... Can you catch a nap today? (haha!) I would LOVE that recipe if you get a chance to post it - anything with pb!!! Have fun at your shower tonight - CAKE!!!!!!! PRESENTS!!!!!!! I hope it goes well!

JenM - Enjoy that sleeping while it lasts!! Nice to have a lazy day too..!

Good AM, lunch soon, still no bread baking - hopefully this afternoon!
 
Hi ladies!
Mikkia--Sorry for the insomnia! I know what you mean about losing control of your core! I was for some stupid reason reading about c-sections last night (mistake). And how the doctor first cuts through the abdominal wall. Great. Just further reminder of how hard I'm going to have to work to get abs back. :( But totally worth it. My c-section is planned for Oct. 2. When I go to the doc next Friday, I'll make sure things still are on track. I'm feeling a lot less pain/pressure today. And I worked like a dog around here yesterday. So if I was near labor, it would have happened by now (famous last words, right?).

Susan--Sounds like a fun weekend. Lasagna sounds divine!

Kate--Sounds like a fun day! So you're on the fence about a fourth? Brave woman!! I'm getting my tubes tied when they do the section. I made DH feel the baby last night for a long time. He gets weirded out by it, but I told him that it will be the last few weeks he'll ever feel such a thing. I got very sad thinking about it, though I know it's right for us. Now here's the stupid/hormonal part of it all: part of me is resentful toward him because I'm the one being sterilized, and he'll still be "in tact." How ridiculous, right?

Candra--Yey on the shower!!! I hope you have a great time!! Let us know what goodies you get!

Jen2--Lucky duck!! I remember the days of sleeping in.... You totally deserve it!! :)

Well, it's raining here, and Henry is napping on the sofa. SO nice. We played cars this morning and he made me draw lots of stuff on his little drawing board. He thinks I'm Picasso. :) I'm tired. I woke up at 2:30 this morning with Henry, who just called me downstairs to tell me he loved me. Sweet, but... Then Oliver woke me up at 4:30 to tell me he was hungry. This is my child that eats us out of house and home :). I gave him water and made him go back to bed. DH just slept like a log. :mad: Since I did the bulk of the cleaning yesterday, I'm going to take the magic eraser to the walls today to tackle the millions of finger smudgees. Then I'm going to knit. Hope everyone has a great day!! Now I must go check my post on the OD. I'm sure I've been flamed by now! :confused:

Wow the day always escapes me - could it be from sleeping in until 1130? :)
I did Amy Bento's In The Ring, which is 77 mins of cardio - kickboxing alternated with med ball instensity drills. I love her workouts she usualy kicks butt.
I just fed us grilled cheese and clam chowder..not very healthy huh?

hope everyone is having a great day

I just got home from picking Wilson up from school. It is sooooooooo hot!! I am going to take a shower b/f my shower:D

Stephanie, Glad the pressure has let up for you. Doesn't it drive you crazy how men can "sleep" thru the kids noise at night?! I just plain wake Mikeup now and tell him to go deal with it. I'm pregnant and need to sleep! It won't be long and I'll be the only one who even CAN get up at night with a nursing baby, so for now the girls are ALL HIS!

JenM, Glad your day can be lazy! Soak it up!

Candra, Thanks for the recipe - I can't wait to use it. Have so much fun at your shower tonight - I hope they have good games!!!

Quiet afternoon here. Candyland, puzzles, etc.
Looking forward to the girls going to bed so I can do my cardio adn stretching.

Hello Jen! I was hoping you had posted!:D

I just finished 4DS LIS cardio and then I added on the finshed combos of HIS. NOthing was all that uncomfortable and it felt so good to do some fun stepping again! Rest day will be tomorrow and Sunday. (But shhhhhh! I might take a nice long walk tomorrow if the weather cooperates!)

We did get our muffins made and I was semi-portion-contolled on them! I figure I can eat a little more of the muffins now since I'm not eating any batter!:p

Pizza, brownies, cake, bday dinner - can I come over????!!!!:D

Sounds like you have a nice day planned for tomorrow. And a nice evening tongiht! Enjoy your quiet time with DH! You guys deserve it!

Sleep tight my fellow preggos!
 
LOL Kate, thats good you got a workout in :) Tomorrow will be my rest day and i have no idea whats planned. The hurricane is going up the east coast but i think its near ga or the carolinas right now. We have hurricane Ike heading our way next week last i heard :( Blasted hurricanes!

Sure you can come over! Someone has to help me eat this food haha. I didnt have too many pbrownies, and the cake i'll give to my dad but of course i'll have a slice because he will be here. cant not eat my own cake :)

Gotta take the dogs out and head to bed. My dad will be here early tomorrow so i probably wont be posting.

Candra hope you had fun at your shower and got lots of goodies!!

G'nite all
