Good Morning,
I am up bright and early for our neighborhood yard sale. Hannah is starting to hit here, so I hope we still get some customers! I have so much stuff to sell, so wish me luck. My doctor's appt went well. I didn't have an internal exam, but will next week. I am still on track for c/s on Oct 7th. I had a much easier day with a lot less pressure and pain. The runs are still running in our household, but like I said, only tend to hit at night. Strange!

Stephanie-I find myself watching those gross baby story shows on tv. Then, I get all grossed out with the c/s births. So, you're not alone! Don't you love getting woken up during the night when your DH sleeps? I am so programmed to say, "What's up honey?" when I hear the door open. One night last week when my DH got up to use the bathroom, he came back in the room, and I said, "What's up honey?":p I thought he was my DS. I would love to learn to knit. What are you working on?

Candra-That recipe sounds delicious! You are in the home stretch too. How did you baby shower turn out? What is your favorite gift you got?

Kate-I didn't read your post about belly buttons, but mine is all gross and pushed out if it's any consolation. You may not even be talking about our belly buttons, but I thought I'd share;). How is Gina's teacher?

Mikkia-I hope you slept well lastnight.

Susan-Sounds like you are going well with school and with keeping yourself injury-free. Yeah!

I am off to eat breakfast and get ready for the yard salers.

-Jen
 
JenP, Good luck with the yard sale! We always talk about doing one but NEVER get around to it. GOod thing, I guess, or I would've gotten rid of all my baby clothes!:D Looking forward to your "birth day"! LOL on the belly buttons - yes, I was asking about ours.

Candra, How was the shower?!?!!??! Did you get lots of good loot?!

Quiet AM here - need to get b'fast on too -
Have a good Saturday/weekend!
 
Morning all!
Sleep is becoming more of an issue. I don't know what the problem is. It is not helping my overall attitude. Oh well. I did Step Blast yesterday, and must of tweeked my back, it hurts something awful. I think I am a mess.
We have marathon soccer today, annd dh is on call so I will have to handle coaching and everything alone. I can't wait for bedtime!:eek:
Candra thanks for the recipe. If I have any energy left today I will try it.
Jen-Good luck with your yard sale.
Kate-have a good sat.
Jenm-tell us all about your shower!
Better go get breakfast:)
 
Mikkia, Those are hard days when you wake up looking forward to bedtime! I can totally sympathize! Sorry for the sleep issues!

(JenM, don't laugh) Did I say rest day?? I guess I meant ACTIVE rest day. I just did Classical Stretch Full Body Workout Vol 2. Felt so good. Tomorrow will be a total rest day I PROMISE!!!
 
Hey ladies. I'm feeling much better. I was feeling better yesterday so I had to try and catch up with stuff I got behind in not feeling good. I managed to do kick, punch and crunch last night and it felt soo good to workout.

I was curious. what kind of baby gear are must haves now days? I mean beyond the basics? does anyone plan to use a sling? I tried with my last son and he looked so squished in there and he never liked it. I want to try again but with a different kind maybe. I was wondering if I can find one of those wooden swinging bassinets. I've only ever seen them in thrift stores so I wonder if they still even make them? you can rock them back/forth. I bought a few baby magazines to see what all the new stuff is now days so thought it'd be interesting to hear what you guys plan to get or already have. ?
 
Hello ladies. Slept in today---800! Yeah! My little angels are playing together nicely in the laundry room, so I thought I'd sneak away and see how everyone is doing!

I though my period was over---but it's lingering on. Pinkish & light, but hanging on neverthless. It has been 10 days! I suppose it will take a couple cycles to get back to "normal". The 2nd & 3rd days were super heavy. The bathroom is on the OTHER side of the store from the pharmacy. I had to change by tampon/pad combo every 90 minutes. Which is a gazillion times during a 12 hour shift. I had to finally confide in everyone I work with so they didn't think I was slacking off. Then to find out that everyone of my new co-workers already knew about my m/c--- it was ackward. Oh well.

I have a couple of new rentals from Netflix. Seazen Zigler & Amy Bento---so I'll probably do one of those today.

A missionary from India is visiting this weekend, my husband and pastor took him fishing today in the pontoon. I"m anxious to see how that goes...b/c he's deathly afraid of water! AND it's raining! Ha Ha. He lives in the desert, so I hope he's doing okay. It'll be an interesting story!

Okay, I"ve babbled enough.

Calico (what's your first name?)... I really enjoyed my Baby Bjorn front packs. I really like to be close to my wee-ones....so I did dishes, vaccuumed, and everything with them attatched. I also liked the bouncy seat/rocker from Fisher Price and Exersaucer.

Mikka, hope coaching and everything goes well for you.

Hi everyone! Chat later. :)
 
Melanie,
Oh yeah I'll have to get another exersaucer. those are life savers! :) I'm thinking about getting a front pack like baby bjorn. there are some really pretty ones out now that you can pick a cool pattern. (saw them in a magazine). My first name is Jessica (Jess) Calvillo is my last name. I'm not very creative when it comes to user names lol! my user name on most other forums is Jess C.
 
Jessica is easier to remember than "Calico". :D :D I'm glad you figured it out that I was talking to you.

I also like baby wipe warmer for winter babes, electric baby bottle warmer, changing pad for diaper bag, big pancho to hide up if you plan on nursing & Medela Pump,... I have so many favorites!!!! Oh, and invest in a good stroller- you'll never regret it!!! Oh, and I have an awesome high chair that I wouldn't give up (save for grandkids). Graco makes it, it collapses so flat you can put in on the side of your fridge....I'll have to look up the name of it.
 
Hi ladies!
Jen1--Sorry you guys are still battling the runs. I hope everyone gets to feeling better soon! As for the knitting, I'm working on a baby blanket, which I definitely won't finish. I bought a "how to knit" book last year and just started piddling around. I can only knit one type of stitch and only in a straight line. No socks or sweaters in my future. Though, I did knit the boys some "interesting" looking winter scarves last year. LOL!! It's just a VERY relaxing pastime.

Kate--I don't believe you about taking a rest day tomorrow!! :rolleyes:

Mikkia--Hope you get to feeling better soon! Sorry for the marathon soccer day! :(

Calvillo--I'm so jealous of your workout! I cannot wait to workout again! I'm simply too large to now, and a bit scared to now that I've started dilating a little bit. As for the baby items, I'm not using a bassinet this time. First time we just put Oliver in his crib and he was a good sleeper. Last time, we used my sister's bassinet, and Henry was a nightmare sleeper. This time, we've bought a new Graco Pack n Play to put in our room, and we'll see. We also had to buy a new infant carseat. Nothing really new and exciting. I did get a new baby carrier. I've always wanted to use them, but I have yet to find one that fits me right. We'll see if this one works. I think the slings look cool, but I too worry about the baby getting squished/hot in there. But the biggest MUST HAVE that we have used with both kids and will use again is the SOUND MACHINE set on white noise or waves. It's very soothing.

Melanie--Yey for the good sleep! Sorry your period is hanging around so long. That's too funny about the Indian missionary. I hope he has fun despite the water/rain!

Well today was the kids' first soccer game of this season. It's Oliver's third season and Henry's first. We got almost to the fields, when Oliver told us he forgot his cleats, and we had to go all the way back home to get them. He missed about 20 minutes of his game. Henry was a star. I was amazed at how well he grasped the concept. He scored probably 10 goals (though we officially don't keep score --they're 3). DH downloaded his camcorder footage and I got to see myself on film. OH MY. It was tragic. I am HUGE. I must have been in total denial. I am a whale. Seriously. I look like the love child of a sumo wrestler and Mama Cass. I showed DH a picture of me from last year at the beach and said, "Can you believe I'm the same person," And he said, "OH MY was that just last year?" Thanks, honey. Wish I could have been one of those tummy-only cute preggie ladies (like I'm sure you all are:)). Oh well. Maybe next summer I'll be weighing 126 again, but I seriously doubt it. :( OK enough self pity. Sorry to bring the board down.

Hope everyone else is having a good day!!! Tomorrow night I have a date. DH and I are going to see Ben Folds perform with the symphony here. Wish I could wear something sexy, but alas... Three and a half more weeks, and I'll be reminded that it was totally worth it.
 
Good evening all! Its 1115pm so i guess i can officially check in for saturday!
We were in St Petersburg FL all day, its about two hours north of us. We were visiting my dads cousins who flew in from Ireland. We basically ate a lot and drank a lot and hung out by the pool at their resort and went to a fsihing pier and an excellent greek place for dinner :) So i'm stuffed and I feel huge, but whatever

Sunday my husband is going to miami for the football game so its just me and the dogs (as usual!). I'll get a great workout in then and do laundry and some cooking. My dad is coming over for his bday dinner and bday cake. I still have no idea what decoration i'm going to do but i'll have to com eup with something
