Preg/TTC/PP weekend!!!!!!!

[jenmgo]

Hi Melanie
I did feel tired during the first couple of months, but i think it was also due to the change in my schedule - from starting work at 2pm to having to get up at 530am! That certainly did me in, and still does.
I was just commenting on the fact that this pregnancy hasnt been a rough one as compared to a lot of horror stories i've heard. a lot of peopel at work are pregnant or have / had pregnant wives and they told me how sick they are all the time etc. So i find myself to be very lucky. The fatigue left and i think it was a combo of my schedule, life stress and being pregnant. I still get tired from the hours of work and getting up in the dark - i dont think that will ever change! Pregnant or Not LOL.
And yes i'm 28, not exactly young 20's almost 30 haha. my hair is brown and my eyes are green or hazel depending on the day, for what its worth

oh and the workout with seasun and sharon is called double cardio. i really like sharon's workouts.
mindy has a sports stepping 90 min video from cia but she also has a sports conditioning bosu workout
i think the last step workout she did was kick butt bootcamp but thats wasnt fully step either. i still reach for her workouts on occasion

So......... you want to take a stab at my features? Ha Ha I don't think I did 1/2 bad. I just Netflixed Mindy's BOSU w/o---can't wait to try it! I haven't done Sharon's workout on the Double Cardio yet, I'll have to put that on my list of things to try. Do you trade on Videofitness.com? I haven't been there in years. I should go over there & trade a couple. Thanks for the leads! Jen, I really think you are awesome! I cannot wait to see pics of your nursery...I bet it'll be perfect!!!

Hi Ladies,
Well, I just got back from a nice walk with DH and DS. It felt SO good! I'll be back to Cathe's workouts in no time, so I am not worried. My next OB appt is tomorrow so I'll find out if I'm any farther along than the 3cm I was last week.

Jen-I agree that it's easy to forget the fatigue! You're doing great. You;ll feel that baby move soon.

Melanie-I wish I had as many workouts as you and Jen do. I used to belong to VF years ago, and I found it was a great place to trade workouts too.

Autumn-We decorated for Halloween yesterday, after DH and I cleaned the whole downstairs. My 3-year old DS kept saying, "I wanna do Halloween". He meant he wanted to decorate. We brought the big box of decorations up from the basement, and he was all about that. The next thing I knew, he was standing in front of the fireplace, looking at our family pictures saying, "These have to go."
He is going to be a firefighter for Halloween since he has the boots and the firefighter raincoat already. Last year, he was a pirate.

This is my last week of work (yeah) before my leave begins. I don't have work on Tuesday, so just 4 more days.

-Jen

Jen, yeah to countdown. If I am lucky enough to conceive (and carry to term) I think I will schedule my time off--I'd like to have a couple days off before hand---I always worked up to (and the day of) delivery---wanting as much time as possible with wee-one....but it was soooooooooo hard toward the end.

Slammin' Sports Cardio is done! What a fun workout. Yes, I have had hundreds of workouts in the past---I've been working out for 10+ years already!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!! Step Works was my first Cathe workout. I started with Kathy Smith, then went to FIRM, then found Cathe & the internet. That was the day......

Melaine ~ Thank you for the support. It may be better when I'm not hormonal and/or the election has passed. I get my smileys here http://bestsmileys.com/pageindex.htm

JenM ~ Thank you for the kind words! I do feel better, which confirms my decision, though I will miss some of the posters.

At least you know I'll never disappear into cyber air without a trace.

Jen ~ My kids were pirates a couple of years ago. People were stopping me asking if I'd made the costumes myself......"soooo cute" was the common praise. Ummm...... no, I don't sew. My mom did and now I wish she could teach me. She made the Wonder Woman costume in my avatar I'll be using thru Halloween. Last year I had an angel and devil. I don't think I posted it. I'll check. I do have that album private since the photos are more recent (did I tell y'all about my safety/security paranoia?). Anyway, I'll try to invite each of you as friends and if you would like to accept you can see the top secret footage. Please don't feel obligated to add the friend thing if you just aren't into it or whatever. Oh, and I say try in case I skip someone...... just remember pregnancy/mommy moments are similar to senior moments.

We got the decorations up and sounds like we are going shopping for more based on DH's and DD's discussion.

I went for a walk....over a mile with lots of hills...... wow, I'm in sad shape. Then, I did Pure Barre awhile ago. Guess I'll go for now. Toodles.
