RE: Well??

Now I feel bad b/c I own ALL of Cathe's DVDs! Yep. I've been a faithful follower since 1998. I don't like strength work, which she has incorporated so much over the last few years. The only other vids I have are 1-6 Volumes of Tae Bo, Turbo Jam (all of them), some FIRM, Janis Saffell's earlier kickboxing, and Mindy Mylrea's step workouts. Oh, I have several Ab only DVDs as that has historically been my stubborn spot!
What other workouts do you guys have?

Sorry I've been MIA! Things at work have gotten really busy and I have a tight deadline in 2 weeks to meet! YIKES! Then we had an all day off-site meeting at a co-workers house on Friday, so no chance to hope online.

I actually had to drag DH up the stairs, since he was falling asleep on the couch that night. I took him up and we opened the drawer. He didn't quite get it. He thought I'd bought him some new underwear or something! Duh...Then he saw the tests and still didn't get it, so I had to pick up the digital one and show him the word 'pregnant'. Ugh, gotta love 'em. They're so dense sometimes, but in a cute way. He got this big grin on his face, b/c he knew our chances were slim and he was so 'proud' to have done it! I called him my super sperm stud and we giggled.

Anyway, I'm still being really cautious at this point. I took one final test yesterday and it was + again, so done testing and temping, so I don't drive myself crazy. Confirmed it at the Dr as well and they're doing a beta and my TSH and T4Free to be sure my thyroid is in tact. It was up in May at 4.34 (was 3.8 in November, 06), so I wanted to be sure to get that in order. I was reading that Thyroid problems can cause m/c. I get those results on Monday.

So, I'm super exhausted and was nauseas for a while, but not so nauseas anymore, which scares me a little b/c I was sick for one day with my first preg/mc and then it went away and ended last year. All I can do is pray at this point and hope for the best.

Call me paranoid, but I'm just eating clean and going on walks and some weight lifting. I'm not doing any jumping of any kind until I'm 'out of the woods' so to speak.

How are you guys, now that I've chattered on like a hormonal maniac!

Lisa - I love my GS Legs and Kick, Punch crunch. I like to mix it up.

Anne,
Thanks for sharing your story with us...DH sounds so cute! We'll keep you and wee one in our prayers! Try not to fret, enjoy every moment!!!!

Tomorrow we're meeting with the loghome builder to look at some of his homes and to brainstorm about our floorplans that we like. Nothing is set in stone yet, we might even buy a home if one falls into our lap, and just build a little weekend cabin on our property. We'll see.

I'm getting closer to job negotations. I have 1 out of 3 left. The offers are getting better each time! This last one I basically asked for the moon and got it!! It's so exciting! It looks like our income will be going up 30-35%, which is always a plus.

I asked my boss for Mondays off today, telling him I have trouble working an entire shift soley with the offenders. He granted my wish. I'm meeting with an employeer for casual work to fill in some hours in the meantime.

Talk to you soon!

Your Mountain Dew addicted friend,
