Hi everyone
I am not watching the superbowl. i'm not really that into it. if dh wasnt working he'd have it on for sure. he went nuts last year when his team won (NY GIants). So at least he got to watch the one he watned to see last year. He is working tonite.

You guys - i packed my suitcase for the hospital!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!! Go ME The only things left are when i have to go for real, like my phone and charger and the camera and my drivers license and the car seat. I hope i remember everything. I packed an outfit for the baby to go home in, some burp clothes and her blanket, a hat and gloves. For me i packed lots of underwear, some overnite maxi's with wings, a comfy go home outfit and slippers, and toiletries. I figured while im in the hopsital i'll just be wearing those ugy gown right? Better to ruin that stuff than my own clothing. I dont know how much bleeding goes on after the baby comes. Anyway, i finally packed my bag. Phew...told ya i'd get it done by this weekend

I also assembled the eggplant parm for tomorrows dinner and got my work food together. so its been a productive nite. laundry still waiting to get folded tho..ugh..hate laundry!

Abotu STS, i did not think i would start until post baby. I did not do the 1 RM's. I just thought i'd test it out, but at this rate it looks like i might be able to just keep going with it. but its not accurate since i did not do the 1 RM and also my diet is NOT what it should be.

as far as purchasing it jess i guess it depends on your goals - its all weight lifting of course. I like it and there is so much variety due to there being about 40 dvds. it is pricey tho but its a good investment if u think you will use it. im enjoying it so far. i need to do it properly tho I'm lazy...

Hello everyone! We watched the Super Bowl here, just the 3 of us. I mostly paid attention during the commercials then quite a bit at the end when it got close. DS and I played monster trucks during most of the game. We had a few snacks, but not too terribly bad. Some cheese and crackers and a lighter version of chicken fingers.

How is your icecream, Jen? I haven't seen that flavor (which is probably a good thing because it sounds delicious!!)

We had a good weekend. We finally traded in my Ford F-150 extended car 4WD off road package truck. It was soooo tall and not exactly a practical vehicle for kiddos. We bought a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. I'm really happy because I'll actually be able to fit both children and groceries in it. Yippee!

I have a questions for you girls...what does a Braxton Hicks contraction feel like? I didn't have them with DS (or don't remember). Friday night I had these cramps down low like I was getting my period. I've also had the feeling of the whole uterus tightening so I wasn't sure if they were both the Braxton ones.

Laura,
I just wanted to send you some (hugs)(hugs)(hugs). Dreams can really suck. I understand your concern,....I often wonder if I'd even be able to "handle" a pregnancy after having a 2nd trimester miscarraige. Those thoughts are "evil" and are not real. Don't let your dreams or anything else stand in your way of enjoying this pregnancy to it's fullest. You are going to be a mommy!!!!! And a good one too!!!
