Julia slept til 5AM without waking up. LOVE HER! She nursed and we conked out in the lazyboy together til 7.:cool::cool:
 
Happy Saturday Mammas!!

The sun is out and I am feeling good today. I have not had the chance to workout this a.m yet, but I will hit it later. Last night I did a few rounds of AOS kettlebell workout and I really like it. I was wearing my HR monitor to see if I was getting a good workout and during the swings the monitor was reading 153 bpm!!! So what do you think about running and kettlebells with a little bit of yoga to get back into shape?
 
hello everyone. I plan to post here more soon. just busy with little guy and my mom being here. Liam is just sooo sweet. I want to hold him all day. ;)
 
jess, what an adorable pic! julias almost 7 months and i could *still* just sit & marvel at her!:D enjoy that sweet new baby!!!:D:D glad your mom is able to help! how are the big sibs doing?
 
Hi mommas!
Just wanted to pop in and say hi! Today is Charlie's 7-month day! Cannot believe how fast the time is flying by and it's so bittersweet. I love seeing his little personality evolve and realizing how totally different he is from each of my other boys (who are totally different from each other too), but I am sad that I can't freeze-frame every sweet moment. I suppose it's because he's our last. Anyway....

Hope everyone is having a good weekend! It's supposed to rain all weekend here -- no soccer!!! We did get a break in the weather to move the treadmill from the garage to our bonus room... UPSTAIRS. Wow. I had done S&H biceps/triceps last night and they were already a little sore, but after hoisting the treadmill upstairs, I'm definitely feeling the DOMS!!! :) Thinking I will do a 20 minute run today and then do foldmax/cleanmax.

Jess--Such a cute picture of your baby!!
Sydney--(Glad to know your name!) Glad you are having sunshine!! Enjoy it!! The kettlebells sound like so much fun. I've been tossing around getting some... What weight do you swing? I was thinking about getting a 15-pound one, but I didn't know if that's too heavy.
Kate--YAY for 5 a.m.!! Snuggling in the LazyBoy sounds so nice! I love snuggle time with Charlie! And the brownies/ice cream/movie with the hubby sounds so nice!! We're having a movie/datenight at home tonight too if I can get the boys off to bed at a decent time. They have it in their head that they should be able to stay up all night if it's the weekend! :confused:
Laura--Such sweet words! Welcome!! You'll definitely love it here. I feel like I'm visiting with old friends when I log on here. We all do love our little ones so much, and it's so great to share their milestones with each other!
Wendy--We did the same thing with the sleep sacks. Charlie started getting hot with it on, so now just some lightweight footy pjs and he's set. He's more hot natured than I am. I sleep in long-sleeve pjs and two blankets. Not him!
Lisa--How did your little one like the bath ring and bath toys? Bath time is such a sweet time. Don't you love B&G? It's my favorite lower body workout. SUCH GOOD DOMS!!
Candra--I'm also counting down the school calendar. Can't wait. Oliver and Henry are out May 21. I'm so excited!!! (Though, I may not display such excitement a month into summer break!! ;))
Maggie--Where are you, lady?? Hope you and your family are doing well!! :)

hope you get your date night! man o man do i want dessert again! but will resist....i want to see my lower abs more.....i think!:p
you guys get out so early!! nice! but i think you started earlir too....
 
Thanks about the pic. I'm trying to get more of him this week before he grows anymore. hes already getting too tight in the NB diapers and they fit perfect before. ugh!

OK I'm wondering if these symptoms are bad and I should be concerned? When I go pee it hurts some in my belly the last few days. I guess the bladder. is that an infection?? i've never had one before so I don't know.
Also my bleeding was tapering off fast. They gave me lots of shots/meds to slow it down at the hospital cause I bled too much. it was turning lite pink and pretty light(Not heavy) then suddenly I get some bright red but not alot. Just getting paranoid.
I also had a bad case of nighttime cold sweats the other night. ALL night long. I was freezing but sweating and if I got more blankets I'd just sweat more. I heard that is normal due to hormones but just asking anyway.
 
Jessica - Go to your ob and make sure you don't have a bladder infection. I never experienced that kind of pain, but I would get it checked out just in case. I did sweat a lot the first month or so, but no chills with it. I sweated like a pig. I would wake up drenched. The bleeding sounds normal. That happened to me also.

Steph - Way to go with all that working out and DOMS! I bought a lot at Target, but no bath ring! I went to Wal Mart today and they didn't have one also. Hmmm....maybe Toys R Us? I totally know what you mean about wanting to freeze time so our babies don't grow up so fast!

Kate - I've never made brownies from scratch before. Gotta try that one, but I think I'll wait until I lose the last four lbs!!

Skyy - Your workout plan sounds really great! Kettlebells are great because they get your hr up and your muscles toned.

Wendy - I'm glad you figured out what was keeping JJ up. How are you feeling?

Candra - I hope the fever stayed away this time for your lo. I go in on Monday for Pomai's 6mos shots.

Hi to all the other mamas!!

Pomai's first tooth is finally popping up. I can feel it, but can't quite see it yet. And she started her solids this week. I can't believe how fast time flies. Weren't we all just pregnant?? I am sad at how much she's growing up, but excited too. Gotta take a shower then eat dinner!!

Lisa
 
jess, they grow way too fast!
go get checked out...not worth infection!:(

lisa, yay 1st tooth! changes the whole look of their face! make them stop growing!:p
hows p liking solids? j loves em! very accepting of whatever i feed her - whew! i always worry abt that!

-
feeling a little "shut in" annd frumpy. my brows need waxing, my hair looks like a rats nest 99% of the time, most of my casual clothes are stained , and i have zero time to remedy any of this stuff....:rolleyes: might as well become a hermit:p
 
thanks Lisa and Kate.
The only thing is it isn't a burning or stinging feeling i hear uti's are like. ? I also don't feel like I have to go all the time etc. Its more like a deep soreness in my belly when I go. My mom said with all the pushing and stuff they did to me after birth it could be sore from that but I only started feeling it a few days ago. I'll call tomorrow and see if they think I should come in I guess.

Kate -hope you get a little time to pamper yourself. I got my haircut and nails/pedicure done the day before he was born so I didn't have to worry about it for a bit. I am in maternity pants still (elastic low cut waistband). I am not worried about it yet though. I gained alot. (almost 50 lbs ugh!) but I've lost 30 already and I'm 1 week PP. I hope the rest comes of quick too but I think alot of the extra weight was swelling. I was really swollen up there at the end.
 
Jess--It could be a UTI. I got one after my first two kids were born. Apparently, when you have babies, your "flora and fauna" down there gets all messed up, and it can easily cause yeast infections and bladder infections. I always had a deep ache like that when I had one -- no burning or other problems, just that deep pelvic ache. Once my ob prescribed antibiotics, it really made me feel SO much better. Hope you feel better soon!!
 
jess, i did the same thing before j was born (pampering) but that was the last time i got ANY of that stuff done....i am a SIGHT!:eek: julias almost 7 months!:eek::eek:
hope the doc works out tmrw.
youre doing great on the weight loss! no rush tho...your lactating body needs some fat too. my midwife says extra fat should stay on you ti you start weaning baby...minimum 6 months!:D i try to remember that when i feel discouraged abt my body!:D
 
Jess.. the same thing happened to me about 1 1/2 weeks after Anna was born. It went about after about a week. I don't know if it was a UTI because I didn't go in for it.

Hi to everyone! hope everyone had a stress-free weekend. My weekend have been really quiet (just the way that I like it).

I have been playing around with kettlebells this weekend- I have a 4lb, 10lb,15lb, and 20lb kettlebells so it something seems too easy, I pick a heavier kb. I also stayed on my treadmill for 48 min this morning. I was feeling extra heavy today and the walk did me good.

Have a good night everyone,
 
stress-free here:D except for a minor fenderbender:eek:. very little damage to us, thank you, durango, but the gal that rearended us....her front looks like am accordian! we were all in the truck. everybodys ok, but my neck is killing me! trip to the chiro tmrw for sure.

sydney, the kbs sound great! glad you got a good walk in. oddly enough, sometimes a good steady walk makes me feel leaner than a cathe sweat session!:confused:.
