Sunday Check In TTC/PREG/PP

[Mikki]

Morning. It is 5:30 ish. I have been hit with leg cramps like I have never had before. Both legs at the same time, front of shins, calf and hamstring. I think I am being punished. I had one yesterday afternoon, but geesh I have been up all night rubbing them out. I don't know what to do. I ate a banana and took calcium yesterday when I got one, didnn't seem to do the trick. Oh well, just another reason that I will not be attempting pregnancy again after this (I have a running list in my head).
Not much on tap today. Need to get dd school supplies labeled for tomorrow and clean out her closet, pack away out grown clothes. I didn't buy her much for back to school, as it is still 95 here and will be until october. Then we can go back to school shopping! I did buy here some new new balance tennis shoes. They are so cute, I wish I could wear them!
You all have a great day, hope everyone is back soon!

Hi! Well, I didn't do LS walk/kick yesterday, but I did it this morning. It was o.k. I don't really care for her workouts, but at least they are doable at this point. Not much on the list for today...my dad is coming to help DH cut/re-attach some closet doors in rooms where we had carpet installed, he will put a ceiling fan in the nursery also. I am hanging out with DS...we are going to Lowe's to pick out a fan and hanging out in the yard/little pool. I still have my cold, so hopefully it goes away before tomorrow.

Mikkia-Is DD excited for school to begin? I am, but I am not. I have bitter-sweet feelings about it every year. I hope the parents won't freak out on Wed night (open house night) when they find out I will be gone from Oct-Jan! I have this big ol' maternity dress to wear tomorrow. I bought it from Gap 2 months ago, so I hope it still fits. I looks so cute on the hanger, but I am afraid it looks sort of silly now with my huge basketball that I have in the front. I am carrying so much different with this baby-it's all in the front. Sorry to hear about the leg cramps. Bananas are supposed to be good for them, so you are going the right things. Hopefully you won't have any problems with them today/tonight.

Did everyone go away for one last summer vacation this weekend? Where is everyone?

I am excited for dd to go to school, she can't wait, but I always get nervous. She is the youngest in her class, she just turned 7 and she is starting 2nd grade. Her teacher this year is a new grad. She looks so young! I understand worrying about what the class will think about you being gone. I am sure as a parent I would be concerned too, BUT it sounds like you have everything under control and the kids will just fine! People do have to understand after all!

We are crazy busy so not much time. My DD's start school tomorrow (kdg and 2nd) and we just got back from vacation, so my house is a mess of vacation stuff and back to school stuff (uniforms, supplies, homework). I'm also starting a 10 hour a week schedule from home for work, so I am getting ready for that too.

Our vacation was great. I'll post pix later.

MIkki- thinking of oyu with soccer max. we have 3 games this week.

Hey Kristan-
Hope your vacation was a good one! I hope beginning of school goes smoothly. Soccermax about killed me yesterday
How is Miss Mimi? Hope all goes well with your back to work schedule, so smart to start slowly. I am having issues with that right now, trying to decide how and when to do this. I am only going to be able to take off about 2-3 weeks, but I can work exclusively from home for at least 2 months. I am more conflicted with what to do with childcare. I guess every working mom does.

Hi,
I took a nap this afternoon-my last one for a while. I still have this nasty cold, and DS came down with the runs. I called my mom, and she is "on alert" for tomorrow in case DS is sick and can't go to daycare. My DH and I are both teachers, and we can miss any other day, but not the 1st day!!! I think DS will be fine, as he is running around. But, about every hour or so, he has a small case of the runs. He hasn't been sick in so long!

Kristan-Nice to hear from you. I am glad everything is going well (busy, but well).

Hello to everyone else!
