While Melanie is having her MD cravings, I started on a sort of pepsi one. I don't know why because I don't like soda, but I think I'm just craving sweet. I'm so tired all the time so I think I want the caffeine also. I've been eating pretty good, but my workouts have been blah. I can't get the energy to do anything. I think I'll switch to unsweetened iced tea.

Melanie - Sorry about the workplace drama. My boss is driving me crazy and I've been avoiding him at all costs.

Hi Morris and Autumn! Hi Mattea! Hope you guys are doing well. I better get to work. BTW, my scale's batteries are dead! I think that's a good thing...

hello everyone and happy saturday. hope you all are enjoying some family time. my little guy and i are having a good time, and the weather is wonderful - we took the jogger out this morning! it was so beautiful.

i am so glad this week is over. the first week dh is gone is always the worst, and this week was a complete blur. ds popped 2 more incisors, and we had 4 sleepless nights in a row. a few months ago i was used to that, but for the past 3 weeks he has slept thru the night. last night, though, we were only up between 12 and 1. i feel so much better today. i find myself getting a bit down, missing dh, but i am doing my best to go thru the motions and have a good attitude. i am overall pleased to have held things together this week, worked out hard, and even though i am not losing weight, i have really kept my sugar intake down. (not eliminated it mind you, but down)

as far as challenges, i got my 5 a day and am still on prenatals for nursing. my personal challenge - candy bars - had been successful too. bummer about that scale

hope you all are well. i empathize with those of you with workplace dramas. i changed jobs 2 months before i got pregnant. i was in job with way too much drama and stress, and it was killing me. my current job is all i could ever hope for, and i count my blessings every day. i hope to chat with everyone soon

Good morning ladies! Or at least it's morning here...but Good Saturday to you all!

I had brown discharge yesterday which is a normal sight before AF comes full force. Nothing today and no AF, but I'm anticipating it. I would love to convince myself that it could be implantation spotting, but I highly doubt it because of the lack of symptoms. The good news is that I'm on a way shorter cycle! I'm on CD27 today and hopefully AF will show by tomorrow which puts me back on a normal cycle of 28 days instead of 34! I'm getting to know my body with the great help of Autumn's info! I am going to temp this next cycle and I'll let you guys know how that goes.

I got my workout in yesterday and I think I'm going to go running today and then do some pilates after that. I've been eating decently, but my workouts have been half hearted. I think it's the PMS that's getting the best of me. I keep forgetting to take those darn prenatals!

Morris - I hope the time flies while DH is gone and he's back sooner than you notice. Sorry about the lack of sleep. So what do you do for work? I have a really great job where my boss lets me make my own schedule and I can work from home if I want to, but he turns to me for everything which can drive me batty. I swear there are days I feel like his psychologist. He's good when he's not having his moments, but this last couple weeks he's been on a worry streak.

Melanie - How are you doing? It's been quiet on your front. Busy making a baby? ;-)

Autumn - I'm still thinking of you and hoping your spirits are up. Can't wait to hear from you.

Better get to Saturday household chores and organizing. Have a great one ladies!

I am in the midst of some frustruating days. My DH and his friend are putting granite countertops & a new sink in the kitchen. Yesterday I took the little ones to a strip outlet mall for 6 hrs, today to grocery store and odds and ends for another 6 hrs. It's rained non-stop and my 1200 sq foot house is upside down with this "project". Urgh!!!

Little ones only naps have been the 30 min or so in the car...so no break for me to workout! Urgh!!!! I'm hoping the kiddos will go to bed early so I can workout tonight, around 8pm? Please send some positive vibes my way!!!

Rainy days + No workouts = unpatient grumpy woman

I'm still stressing about work issues before...which has never been a problem for me in the past. I"m anxious to go on maternity leave!! I"ll take that winter baby now!!!
