Hey there ladies! For those who haven't heard already, Morris is pregnant!!!

I ended up with 4 workouts last week. I haven't gotten my dvds yet, but I know they usually ship Hawaii USPS on Fridays or something like that so I hope I get it this upcoming week. For those of you who did get it, please tell!!

Jen - That is so annoying about your dvd being cracked. Hope you get your replacements asap.

Morris - Did you have a nice celebration date? No major plans for me this weekend except try and relax.

Hi Melanie, Autumn, and Anne!

I watched the Larry King Live show (Joy Behar was filling in for Larry) that had that dr. author guy who believes excercise makes you fat because it makes you want to eat more. He also believes the way to keep "healthy" and lose weight is to just stop eating carbs of anykind. Very Atkins like. Dr. Oz and Jillian Michaels were on there to dispute him. They believe in excercise and complex carbs and occasional fruit. It was very interesting. It made me want to totally cut out the sugars which obviously has been hard for me. I wonder if there really are people who can continually eat without any sugars and simple carbs for a very long time. Am I the only one who just can't let go of the occasional dessert? Oh and speaking of dessert, they don't believe in dessert. Anyway, enough babbling.

hi everyone

hope you don't mind if i keep posting here for a bit. i would miss everyone way to much otherwise! first thing i told dh after we found out we were pregnant was i had to post my cathe friends - i am a geek, i know.

dh and i had a great dinner out and celebration. i had frozen yougart for desert:9 :9 i had been so so good this past week. i did drop those 5 pounds, and i am sure it was b/c of the lack of fruit. i think i will now start to add in a few pieces a day though. lisa, the program you watched sounds interesting. i definately prefer what dr oz said. i cannot imagine life without exercise. i'd have no energy. and you are definately not the only one who needs desert. i totally could have it daily. i probably dox( x(

jen, have you tried any of the other workouts?

melanie, hope this week goes well for you.

hi anne, hi autumn

tomorrow i will call my doc and see what happens next. i had to start progesterone suppositories (sorry if tmi). i hate them as they make me feel very ill. i guess until a placenta takes over, it is just safer to supplement. i am just saying lots of prayers things go well, or go just how they are supposed to. today i went for a logn run and did the leg bi and tri weight work from the new dvds. it was fun for a new twist. it is strange to me to go so heavy for so few sets. i will try it for a month and see though.

sorry this is so long. i guess i am just wordy tonight
 
Hi ladies. Three workouts last week, DVDs are arriving tomorrow & I will do them this weekend, as I have a short week (working just 3 days). I hope there isn't a problem with the DVDs like last time. Urgh!

Congrats again to our marvelously blessed Morris! Yahoo! You BETTER not leave us too quickly. I remember making progesterone vaginal suppositories in pharmacy school. They were fun to make, probably not fun to take. ;) Pregnant ladies check-in will be lucky to have you. :) We're not far behind you, right ladies?!>?!?!?!

I feel better now that I"ve done some internal/external housekeeping. We've made some decisions (which always makes things easier) about our other house & our future.

Our decisions were all real estate based, nothing interesting...just stressful!

Morris - Congrats on the 5 lbs! I'm still working on my 3 lbs. Don't forget to update us after your appt!

Melanie - I'm glad you were able to settle things. Big decisions can be very stressful!

I did BM2 cardio and abs only last night since I don't have my new dvds yet! The lovely bonuses of living in Hawaii. I'm going to email customer service to see if they sent out the dvds yet. I'm so ready for something new! Anyway, I'm going to try again this week to eat better. No simple carbs or refined sugars at the very least. 10 more days until vacation! Please also pray for my dog who will be going in tomorrow for her work-up and pills to kill the baby worms.

Hi! Congrats to Morris again!
Today, I actually woke up at 4:30a.m. to workout. I did TJ Fat Blaster and some abs. I will get replacement DVD, so I am happy about that! I left my DVDs at my parents' house, though, so my mom will have to mail them to me.
I plan to continue my workouts. I got into such a slump over the summer with workouts, and I feel I am very ready to get back into a schedule like I used to.

That's all for now. Nothing new here.
-Jen
 
Morris- congratulations. How wonderful!

I got in 6 workouts- 3 good and 3 "mini" work outs. I rec'd my new DVD's and had planned to try one tonight, but it won't happen- we had brownie scouts here tonight and it was chaos getting the kids to bed. I have to drive 2 hours tomorrow for work (from St. Louis to Cape Girardeau), so I think I'll stop home on my way back and do Higher Intensity before I head back to the office.

I'll post more later as AF is scheduled to arrive/not arrive very soon.
 
good luck kristan!!

well, i talked to my dr office today. they want me to take another hcg level this friday, and if all is well, will schedule an us to count babies a few weeks or so after:eek: i did ask the office if i needed to stay on the progesterone. last pregnancy i started it 3 days post ovulation and took it thru the first trimester. this time, i guess they forgot to order it for me, so i only just started it. with that in mind, i guess my dr doesn't think it is that important, which is great to me as i'd rather not take it. but, if something goes wrong, i will probably wonder if it was the progesterone. i think i will just double check with them today. otherwise i feel pretty good, just a bit tired.

lisa, i am saying lots of prayers for your dog. is your dog staying overnight at the clinic or just an outpatient? i think you will enjoy the new dvds. lots of fun stuff. i only wish the cardio parts were longer

jen, hope all is well, glad you are getting abck into a routine.

melanie, i hope you and dh feel good about real estate decisions. that can be really really stressful for a family. have you tried the new dvds?

hi anne, hi autumn
 
Kristan, Looks like you're next!!! Positive vibes going your way!!!!!

Lisa, your doggie's in my prayers.

Morris, no time to try new DVDs yet (just got them last night). I have Thurs-Sun off (perfect--4 days to try 4 workouts)!! How about you?

Anyone else try?

Have a great day!
 
Hi ladies! I am dropping in real quick to say hi! I have had a sick 3 y/o today who is finally in bed. This is his first illness other than a few sniffles over the years... poor lil guy. Anyway, I am going to run downstairs and workout... to my NEW DVDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No time to preview today so I'll jump right in... if you don't hear back from me... you'll know what happened.
;-)
 
Morris - Sounds like everything is right on track with your pg!!! My doggy came home this afternoon (she just stayed all day) and she is on antibiotics and already had the pill to kill the babyworms. I think I might cradle her while on the injections and the few mos after so she stays as inactive as possible. She's really hyper and runs in circles when we come home and jumps around. We'll probably just cradle her at night when we sleep though and during the day keep her leashed outside to ensure that she doesn't run around. I don't want to keep her cradled all day indoors and it's hard to keep her cool yet limited indoors when we're at work. The vet said if she's still hyper and excitable they do tranquilizers, but that's my absolute last resort. Other than that, the vet said her heart looks great and she more than likely got infected sometime this year because her heart shows no damage or enlargement. Sorry for the novel. Thank you sooo much for the prayers. They really help!

Melanie - Yay for a good stretch off from work!

Autumn - Sorry to hear your little one is sick. It's so hard to see them like that.

I got my dvds and I did High Intensity Step tonight and loved it! It's perfect for when I have limited time to workout, but need that little extra calorie burn. I don't know which to do next. Which ones did everyone try?

Lisa
 
Morris - I'm sorry, I meant crate her not "cradle" her. Was that a Freudian slip or what? I do think of her was one of my children, I know.

Lisa
 
you are too funny, lisa. i too thought, hmm, baby on the brain!

i did the bootcamp /kb mix of the new dvds last weekend and liked it. i tried the step workouts today just to practice as i will do them tomorrow am. i like the weight work too. nice to have the new variety.

i am pleased to say i have 1st trimester fatigue and a mild bit of nausea. last pregnancy that did not hit un til i was about 8 weeks.

lisa, glad your pup is okay. leash walks and crating will hopefully work best to keep her quiet.

melanie, good luck with your upcoming 4 days on.

anne, jen, kristan, how are things?

autumn, i hope your little one is better.

uh oh. the little guy is up way too early from his nap. this may be a long afternoon.

Upcoming four days OFF. Yahoo! This is my last work day (3 days this week). I think I'll do the kickboxing DVD first. Yeah!!!

Morris, how old is your little guy now? How many months will be b/w your two little ones? Are you thinking you may have multiples? I never do know how to feel about 1st trimester nausea. I feel good knowing the pg must be going well, but urgh!!! the fatigue and icky feeling!!

Lisa, I thought you were going to cradle the dog. I was thinking he must be a really small dog & you were going to have your hands full!

Autumn, how did the DVD go?

Hey Morris - Congrats on the pregnancy!!!

I love the new dvd's. Only have done the High intensity and Kick box one so far, but LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the different premixes we have to choose from.

Well, DH had his second SA this week. His first was 2.8 million with 50% motility. This one actually increased to 5.8 million and 35% motility, so I'm looking at that as a good sign. Still way under 'normal', but every little bit helps! Since I've been sick last month, I'm hoping I ovulate this month. Whacky signs these last past days, so we'll see what the next few days bring for me.

Well, wanted to make this short to get to my workout and so happy to see someone get a BFP here!!!

Hi Lisa, Autumn, Melanie, Jen and anyone else I missed!

Later,
Anne
 
I did kickboxing one today. It was okay, probably not going to be a favorite. I'm a super cardio junkie and hope the other DVDs have more cardio and less strength training...

Hi. I picked up a preg. test last night and it was positive. We're excited. I'm going to keep checking in with you guys for a while if that's ok. My first trimester so far has always featured pretty heavy bleeding at weeks 7 through 11 (subchorionic hematoma), which makes me very nervous. I am shocked I already feel nauseated in the afternoon.

So far this week, I've done the high intensity step with weights and the low intensity step but with the leg work from kickbox. I can barely move my limbs. I LOVE the cardio in HIS and LIS and might link them together for a full hour of cardio. Tomorrow I am going to do KB with the shoulder stuff. Melanie- I think all of the cardio segments are short. I think the premixes allow you to combine them.

This weekend is Gus' 2nd birthday party. We're having both families over for a chili dinner.

good luck.

Kristan (by the way, I am almost 37. My kids are Kay 7, Audrey 5 and Gus 2. I work parttime as an atty)
 
Kristan, Congrats!!! Yeah! We certainly have had a successful month, haven't we? I"m so excited for you pg gals. Please don't leave us hanging here at TTC Check-in, you're ALWAYS welcome...your blessing is our encouragement!!!!

BTW Kristan, did we check-in together in post-partum after our last wee-ones were born? I think there were a couple of Kristans?...and my little Jadon will be 2 on Thanksgiving...right after Gus. YES!!! IT WAS YOU. Do you remember me? I"m sorry I didn't notice earlier...
