Happy Sunday ladies! And another big CONGRATS to Anne, our first pregnant teammate!!

Melanie - That is such awesome news to hear about all the great job offers you're getting. Building a home sounds like so much fun also. You'll be away from your coworkers in no time!

DH and I and the kids went hiking yesterday and today. It was so much fun. Yesterday's trail was 4-1/2 miles and took us about 3 hours and the kids did great! Today's trail was about 3 miles and it took us 2 hours. We even got to see two wild pigs on yesterday's trail.

I caved and tested this morning and it was a BFN. My temp dropped also so I'm thinking AF is on her way. I'm on CD30 already so I hope she comes soon so I can get this over with.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend!

hi lisa - sorry about the negative result. hope af comes soon so you can start again.

hope everyone else had a great weekend. ds, dog, and i went on lots of walks this weekend with backpack. it is hard carrying 20lbs up and down hills! also went running together a few times. dh is delayed a day, in hawaii of all places, lucky fellow. hope he gets back by wednesday.

this week is starting rainy, but i did amy's kbx this am and felt great after, despite the weather. i am planning to drop a feeding at the end of the week and supplement finn with frozen breastmilk. i am so very nostalgic as this time last year i was sooo anxious for his arrival.

anne, again, so happy for you.

melanie, don't know if you saw anne's post about protein powders, but i too was wondering, if you know, why they are not okay during pregnancy or if there are okay ones?

hope my new workouts come soon. i am anxious to try the gym styles.
 
Morris - Hey what island is your DH stuck at? Good luck with the gradual weaning.

Okay, gotta cut this post short because DH just called to say he locked his keys in his trunk at the gym. I'll be back later!

Lisa
 
Lisa - Sorry about the negative, but that puts you one more day closer to TTC in the next cycle! It will happen! Your hike sounds fabulous!

Melanie - Wow, great about the job offers. Sounds like you'll get the cream of the crop to choose from! Don't you love it when you get the choice of them and don't have to settle for something! Let us know what you pick!

Morris - Good luck with the weaning. Unfortuneatly, I can't give advice, but maybe I'll be asking you about that next year! Oh, you'll love the GS workouts. I love the leg one.

Well ladies, my hCG levels went from 102 (5/31) to 514 (6/4), so they are doubling as they should be and I'm in the correct range for about 5 weeks preggers! I'm so relieved. Still cautious, but not worrying as much! Woo hoo! Can you tell I'm excited!

Hi Autumn - How are things going for you lately!

Anne
 
Just want to say hi. This is recital week, so we are busy. The madness should settle down next week.

Have a great week ladies!
 
Hey ladies,

Hope you guys are all having a great week. I went running this afternoon and that felt great even though it rained in the middle of it! It's been hard to get online this week since my kids are home from school, but I hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to check back again tomorrow!

Lisa
 
hey everyone

lisa, great job with the running - glad that doesn't bother your back.

melanie, how are the house plans coming? any closer to job acceptance?

hi autumn - hope the recitals are fun.

dh is still gone - not coming back till sunday now - darn broken airplanes! he is in honolulu now - not a bad place to be i don't think. ds and i have been running with the jogger, though, which is fun. also, i got the gymstyles and did all 3 dvds between tuesday and weds. i do not recommend anyone try gymstyle legs then try to run. it was hard! anyways, here is to hoping this shapes me up a bit:) diet is pretty clean these last 2 days, so i am actually feeling good. today i stopped my 10am pumping. finn will be 1 yr in just 2 weeks!

take care everyone.
 
Morris - My DH is flying off island from Oahu to Maui this weekend. How funny that your DH would be here in Honolulu until Sunday and mine off island! I was surprised that running didn't bother my back, but I did notice that I can't run downhill or it'll put some strain and pressure on my back. I've been going to the park to run so it's all flat ground. And I started really light weights for my back yesterday. We'll see how that goes. Oooh...gym style legs sounds good. Maybe I'll invest in that one. How do you like the tris and chest? And Happy Birthday to Finn!

Melanie - I'm thinking a job acceptance is in the works.

Autumn - I hope recital week goes well!

Anne - How are you feeling? Any morning sickness? Yay for the great numbers! You're growing a bean in there!

Okay, I really gotta get going. I have a bunch of errands I just want to get done by this morning. Hope everyone has a great day!

I hate weight work. I haven't done it in months...I'm a straight cardio junkie (which is why I've strayed from Cathe a bit these past few months).

I"ve been stressed (circumstances) and emotional (PMS, I think) lately. DH is going to check out some real estate tomorrow in one of the areas I've been offered a job. When he gets back we'll make our decision as far as where we will be relocating.

Tomorrow I think I"ll pack the boys up and take them to a movie. The little boys have never been to one! Surfs Up!!!!

Morris, Maui sounds exotic!

Autumn, continue to keep us posted!

Anne, you've probably left us, we're so happy for you!

Lisa, sorry about the BFN. :( It'll happen!

Who did I forget? There's someone!!!

Have a great weekend!

melanie, so sorry you are stressed. my hope is in just a few short weeks your life will feel more comfortable and like your own again. i know the process is uncomfortable, though.

i too am a cardio junkie and hate doing weights at the expense of cardio, so i do weights when i know i can do cardio too, usually. weights just don't get me going enough. that said, i do feel a good satisfaction when i am really sore, like today:) must have been wednesday workouts!

have fun at the movies. what are you going to see? i do miss going to the movies. i think right now i miss girlfriends. you guys are fantastic, don't get me wrong, but since i had finn, my girlfriends up here are awol, and truthfully, i call them often. they are just too busy. i used to love taking walks with a good friend and just chatting. time to make some new ones i guess!

have a good weekend everyone.
 
It's just so hard to make friends! Everyone's just too busy to meet, or talk. It's pretty sad. We've been here 15 years, and I have just a handful of friends that I meet with maybe 2 times a year. We talk on the phone, but nothing too deep.
I, too, appreciate all you ladies!!! YA'LL ARE AWESOME!!!!!!

so it isn't just me?? i feel fortunate dh is so great that we can talk, and i have started calling my older sister and talking for so long just because we can connect. it gets lonely sometime with dh traveling, even though these trips are short. so nice to be able to go online and talk to you guys.
 
Morris, you're not alone. I think it's an epidemic with everyone "being so busy". No one has time for relationships anymore. I think it's really sad. I feel so fortunate to have you and my other internet friends...I tell you things that I don't even tell my "face-to-face" friends. :D

AF (confirming my NPT and emotions) came while I was at the movie theater with my boys (had to make my own maxi with sandpaper toliet paper). ;) I have to say I'm a little relieved with all the drama going on in my life...

Hugging my boys a little more tightly tonight...

Talk to ya'll soon!

I can so relate with the relationship thing. I have a lot of good friends and overall feel close with each of them, but seems like life is always "too busy" to just find time to hang out on a regular basis.

Melanie - Sometimes God knows best what we need in our lives at the moment...too funny about the sandpaper toilet paper! Hope you had a great time with the boys.

I'm solo this weekend like Morris. DH is in Maui and won't be back until Sunday morning. Kind of relaxing actually, but I know we'll be anxiously awaiting Sunday morning for his arrival. Hope you guys have a great weekend!
