Well, I was really proud of myself for pushing thru B&G last night but I'm afraid I hurt my ligaments and it hurts to even walk today. 
I'll be stopping at the chiro on my errands this AM.
Lots of errands to do today and we have c'birth class tonight so yay to another date night!
Hoping to do some cardio today. Hopefully my ligaments agree tho I'm scared I'll have to take an unscheduled rest day! Maybe I can at least do a LS.

Maggie, Let us know when we can see the pic!!! Will DS get home today?
Autumn, For salsa when fresh tomatoes aren't available I take a 14-15 oz. can of petite diced tomatoes, drain the juice. Chop up 2 jalapenos very fine (I use a chopper too). Mix. Add whatever other veggies sounds good. I like cilantro too - but not too much. It can taste soapy sometimes.

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a great weekend!!
Jen--I've been thinking about you and your DH. I hope that the hurricane misses you guys. I've been watching the weather and saying a prayer.
Kate--I'm sorry B&G made your ligaments hurt yesterday. Those one-legged squats are killers! Hope you get to feeling better soon! Sounds like you have a busy day today. Enjoy your date night!
Maggie--How are you feeling? Isn't tomorrow your due date?
Hi to everyone else!!!
-------
I didn't have time to get on the computer until late last night, so I decided just to wait and check in today. We went to my mom and dad's house Saturday to celebrate mom's bday and my sister's bday too. My boys and my nieces had fun playing together. But we were out way too late and couldn't get up for church yesterday. Yesterday afternoon we went to Vanderbilt University football's little fan festival, and the boys got to meet the players. DH was more excited than they were. Then we got the boys some soccer cleats for the new season. This is Henry's first season, and his little cleats look SO tiny. He's very proud of them. In fact, he just asked me where they are. He'd wear them all day if I'd let him (which I won't; we don't wear shoes at all in the house). Anyway... Hope everyone is having a good Monday (or is that an oxymoron?)!

Good morning ladies, i hope everyone is feeling well today
Kate take it easy if you think you strained yourself. Its ok to have rest days, even if they are unscheduled you need to listen to your body. I know its hard not to workout when you really feel the need to.
Im thinking my week will be completely disrupted with Hurricane Fay. Right now its getting stronger at 60mph and i beleive it left cuba and is heading for us. Still no word about work tomorrow for me and my husband doesnt know if he will get activated yet or not. I hope not. But i highly doubt it
Thanks for your prayers everyone! Hopefully it will just be rain ...

Hi ladies--
Still here and no action, at least in the labor department.
The heat wave is gone and now it is rainy and thundery. Very refreshing and keeps the druggies in the house--actually they've been very quiet the past few days.
Ds won't be back until Thursday--They are packing 10 miles per day, ideally. There is a forest fire on the north side of Mt Hood, but dh assures me that they will be safe. One of the leaders has some sort of device that allows him to communicate with his wife (not a cell phone--some other techie thing) and show her where they are. That way she can alert them to any danger. I think they probably are not escaping the rain, however--bummer.
I did another 3am algebra session--lesson 94. At the rate this baby's coming, I will make it to lesson 100, which was my pre-baby goal. Then I went back to bed and got some more sleep.
++++++
Kate--I'm sorry for the ligament pain. I found myself doing that over and over this pregnancy with my back. I'm so used to pushing myself non-preggo. It was hard to switch gears. I stopped working out at 38 weeks and my back feels much better. I hope the chiro helps.
Stephanie--I am due today and NOTHING is going on, so I'm just resigned to being late. I hope I have a baby by next week at this time. It sounds like you had a fun and busy weekend.
Jenm--take care and be safe. 60mph sounds pretty fast to me, but then I've never experienced a hurricane. I'm glad your dad got those storm windows up. Keep us posted if you are able. (((hugs)))
++++++
I plan to do school with the girls, clean up, and plan a small family party for ds6, who is turning 7 on Wednesday. Hopefully these things will make the time go faster, because it is creeping right now.

Maggie--Sorry that you're not feeling anything happening. Maybe with the thunderstorms, something will happen today. I've always heard that the more pressure in the atmosphere, the better the conditions for labor, etc. I'll be crossing my fingers!
I wonder where everyone is today?
Henry and I took an hour and a half nap a little while ago. Henry was watching Noggin next to me on the sofa and fell asleep. I knew he would. He needed a nap too. Now I'm off to do some cleanmax around here! Hope everyone's day is going well!

hi all. I just thought I'd check in really quick. I caught the stomach flu from my kids. I wish to die. I have been down with this since 4 am Sunday. I did quit throwing up about 6 hours ago, I hope that is it. My house looks like a bomb went off in it, as dh had them by himself yesterday. They went to mothers day out this am.
Maggie-still hoping for some action for you soon.
Jenm-praying the hurricane doesn't do too much damage.
Stephanie-hope those muscles and ligaments loosen up. How about a massage? Have fun on date night.
kate-how are you? Dh and you all made up? Sometimes its nice to make up
I am off to bed...

Stephanie, Sounds like you had a busy weekend. Fun though! CUTE on the cleats! Are you dreading the change of things when baby comes? I don’t get very much help so the AM’s will be interesting with 1st grade and preschool when Baby comes. heeeellllllpppppp!! glad you got a nap. Wish I was getting one today! Oh well - maybe I'll sleep better tongiht. I've kind of figured out that when I nap I have restless sleep. But it is soooooo hard to get thru the dya without one. "C'mon October!!!!!!"
Jen, Keeping everything crossed that the h’cane doesn’t hit you guys! Thanks for the encouragement on the rest day. I prob. should but I really don’t want to!!! Maybe just a mini….?!
Maggie, Oh, so sorry. My water with Isabel broke the AM after a full moon. I’m with Stephanie - this weather will do something for you! Hope DS is enjoying his hike.
What a busy AM. We’re finally back from errands - 2PM! DH met us out for lunch so we were all excited about that!
Ligament pain is slightly better but I know they need time to heal now. I should lay off the cardio today but I really don’t want to!!!!! WAH! I could just do LS maybe….maybe…..maybe…..????????

Hey all you preggie ladies!!!
Kate-girl take it easy...don't hurt yourself more! Have fun on your date tonight!
Mikkia-sorry you are so sick. Stomach bugs are the worst!!!!
Hi Stephanie!! Hi Jen! My dad is in Fla too. Hold tight!
Been busy around here. I can finally hobble on my heel and dont need crutches...those things are evil!!!!!! Haley has had fun with them though.
AF should arrive in the next day or 2..than Im back to ttc. I suspected I O'd in TN and I was right. I"ll try again this month. Actually, all those x-rays had me worried anyway.
Oh get this......the night after I hurt my foot I was carrying a bowl of spagetti O's (only thing that sounded good) in one hand while using a crutch in the other. DH offered and offered to help me but I insisted I had it. Well, I go to set the bowl down and it spilled on the inside of my wrist and I have 2nd degree burns. Im telling you..I need to be in a bubble!!!! Nothing like this ever happens to me..what is up!!! I did do PP this morning. Only thing I couldnt do was the calf raises. I will try to spin tomorrow...Im thinking that won't hurt my foot.
Here is a pic of Haley this morning. Shes in the 3rd grade and I miss her!!! She was teary when I left her. I hope she had a good day! Its about time to go get her.

Seriously Susan, you are going to need to get one of those "I've fallen and can't get up" lifelines to make sure EMS can find you!! I hope your wrist doesn't hury too badly. I know its tough without Hailey around, it sounds like you all had such a great summer. Good luck with next months TTC, sounds like you have a really good understanding of your cycles!
Kate-is it that round ligament pain again? That stinks!
Well-I am feeling less nauseated. I hope this is the end of it. I am trying to force down some tea. I hope it stay there!
My workouts this past weeks were poor, I did IMAX 2,SJP, and LIS 4day. That was it, for 7 days. I know I won't work out until at least Wed. I just feel so out of shape. Life is getting in the way I know it shouldn't get to me, but it is.

Hi gals,
Mikkia-I am SO sorry for the stomach bug. I hope that you get to feeling better soon! Drink lots of fluids!! ((hugs))
Susan--I'm sorry about your spaghetti-os incident. Are you absolutely sure that you're not pregnant? That's the only way I'd eat Spaghetti-os. LOL
I have nearly demolished the half gallon of frozen yogurt I bought yesterday. It has tasted SOOOOO good. It's vanilla with little bits of Heath toffee in it. YUM!! I'm going to have to put a lock on the freezer. I go to the doc tomorrow, and I dread the scales. Ugh. (By the way, as I type this, my little Henry is on the eliptical machine. Show off. Now I must go clean the house and STOP PROCRASTINATING. It's like I'm nesting, but I'd like someone else to do all the work for me while I eat ice cream. Is that totally unreasonable? Later taters....

Susan, I love how close you and Haley are. Makes me smile. What a beautiful girl! Give her a hug for me! “Uh-oh, Spaghettios!” Geez, woman! I’m gonna buy you a special inflatable suit to wear! Take care of yourself! And ^5 on PP. I’m thinking of doing that one tomorrow. That or SS.
Mikkia, I hate missing WO’s too. You’ll be back at it soon enough. And, hey, the ones you did were great. AND…we preggos get an extra calorie burn just luggin’ these ginormous bellies around anyway! Glad you're feeling a little better. Hope the tea stays down! And yeah, it's the RLP again. No more B&G for me til post-baby I guess. Too bad - I love that one!
Stephanie, Your ice cream sounds great! I had a couple bites of mint chip ice cream this afternoon but I can’t eat anymore because I need it for a recipe tomorrow! Maybe DH & I can get some out tonight!
Well, I did 2 miles of a LS just now. All I have time for or I would’ve done more. Gotta get ready for my date!!!
