I am awaiting pictures of Max,Bardric and hopefully Briee's baby soon. maggie, for some reason this morning my computer wasn't allowing me to foward pictures. I'll try again later.

Alexis has slept through the night the past 3 nights. Last night from 9:30-7:30, the night before from 8:30-7. She took the bottle twice last week, once from my mother who was visiting and once from mom in law. Both times i was out of the house. She is loving her baby gymnee and sat mesmorized in her bouncy seat on friday night watching the grinch who stole christmas.

Maggie, I hope your knee feels better soon.

Here is my workout week:
Sun-legs/glutes
mon=Step Blast
Wed-step,pump,jump
Thurs-Push/Pull-upper body premix-2 sets
Friday-Kickbox-lower body strength circuits premix
sat-Imax 2

WE are going out of town from Wed-Saunday for christmas therefore it will be lighter workout week next week. Body is still holding on to those last few pounds.

I just finished my first week of Jillybean's Body Blast DVD Premix rotation. I am thoroughly enjoying my DVDs and all the options they provide!

Mon- KP&C/L&G 82 min. premix
Tue- PP upper body premix (2 sets)
Wed- SB/SJ&P 60 min. cardio circuit
Thu- SJ&P all step premix + SS lower body blast + SJ&P abs & stretch
Fri- SS upper body (2 sets)
Sat- SB warmup, section 3, & challenge + SJ&P hi/lo add on

Monday's workout was the best! If you all have the DVDs, you should try it. I'm not even a huge kickboxing fan. It was just a workout that BURNS!

I hope to have pictures of Max to send out soon.

Congratulations to Alexis on sleeping through the night. I hope it continues and I hope you feel great.

Oh I am so jealous of you both with the new workouts! I don't want to buy them anyway until we get a dvd player anyway, so that I am not buying both videos and dvds. They sound so fun and all the premix and mix and match stuff sounds so cool. Oh well, since I am relatively new to Cathe, I am still enjoying all the old stuff and there are still a few that I have that I still have not done yet, so I will tryyyyy to be paaaatient .

I am going to corner my husband and send pics soon. We have friends in France who wants to see Mr. Baby as well, so this will hopefully motivate him to help me do this soon. Ack--last week was soooo busy, but this week is surprisingly calm.

Shopaholic-good news about Alexis taking the bottle and sleeping better. Bardric is starting to reach for things and is interested in his (and our) hands and his own little feet. Smiling faces are his favorite thing, however. He is quite a little charmer. We had to take him out to eat for my husband's company dinner and he sat through the whole thing with nary a peep, although I did have to nurse him.

Emy-thanks for the encouragement regarding my knee. It feels pretty good and I have made a recovery rotation for myself for between now and the end of the month at which time I will reevaluate my situation. Today I did PS CST and did 20 min of light stationary biking and it all felt really good.

Anyway, I lost 3 lbs and 3.74" on this last rotation--haven't lost or gained any since I was injured. So far I have lost 12 lbs and 13.75 inches since 2 weeks post partum ( I grant that some of the inches aren't fat, but merely post partum shrinkage, but hey I will count them anyway, right;-) ) I did a lot of Christmas baking last week, which means I have to try everything to make sure that it can be given away}( :9. Bad eating and no workouts--it felt positively decadent.

Well take care everyone--can't wait to see the baby pics!

Maggie
