TTC - November 11th

Hey Morris - I've heard that you tend to gain weight earlier with subsequent pregnancies, but you work out so much I wouldn't worry about it so much and just enjoy! Sorry you're still feeling crappy though. Yay, 8 weeks along!

I had my second acupuncture appointment today and will have 2 more next week before we leave for WI. I should be ovulating on Thursday or Friday next week, so perfect timing for the Hotel! Clomid was just fine. Not sure why I was so nervous about it. I did notice hot flashes and one really emotional day, but if it works I'll be happy!

No big plans for the weekend. I need to bake lots of pies for both of our families. They always travel well and I can make them ahead of time and freeze.

Anyone else have plans?
 
Anne - I've heard the same thing about acupuncture treatments. There is one here that said every single client he's had has gotten pregnant even after having trouble conceiving for years.

Morris - 2 lbs is nothing! You're healthy and doing really well with the workouts. I'm still doing the new Cathe dvds. I'm like obsessed until I get the footwork down. I think I finally am close to mastering the High Intensity Step routine. Just the last combo is what gets me all the time.

Melanie - You're so sweet...I'm just eating all kinds of junk with no second thought. Really bad.

Autumn - Hi there!

Jen - So how did your appt go?

Kristan - How are you feeling? Are you still working out like normal?

good morning everyone! it is saturday and freezing cold. should be a bright day, though, after all that rain. i slept in until 5:45 (late for me!) and that felt great. i am hoping to squeeze in a workout during naptime. dh is gone thru the weekend.

lisa, that last step combo in his is tricky but lots of fun for sure. do you like the weights? i did them for 1 month, and now i want to switch it up, wither back to gym styles or to endurance type for a few weeks.

anne, when is ovulation expected?

jen, when is your appointment? knowledge is power, so hope you get some good info.

hi melanie, how are you?

hi autumn, hi kristan.

today ds and i are going to a craft fair with some friends. otherwise, no big plans.

have a good day everyone
 
Anne- I used acupuncture to get labor going with my second child. It worked; I am a believer.

Morris- I've been eating way less but feel very jiggly. My boobs and tummy look like a distorted smiley face.

Jen- keep us posted on your appt. I'm sure you've heard tons of stories about people who quit trying who become pregnant quickly.

Lisa- remind me how many kids you have? Sometimes I wonder how I will handle 4- I think my 2 yo is quite a handful and way more "difficult" than my older daughters (although he is so cute he way than makes up for his precociousness).

I have a dr. appt on Monday. I wanted to get something scheduled before the holiday. I'm working out just as I always have. I did finally do ASC2 all the way through. I really like it. I feel pretty gross, but no worse than I have in the past with other pregnancies. Today we are having a dinner with some friends and kids. All I have to do is make a giant pot of pasta and salad. The only other thing we have is a children's concert tomorrow at the symphony. Have a great weekend.
 
AF has arrived, which isn't a complete suprise b/c I ate a dozen chocolate chip cookies on the way home from work Thursday, and yesterday emptied out my entire hot tub (about 500 gallons) 2 gallons at a time. :)

Not sure what I'll do today. Maybe work on getting the church nursery together, or go Thanksgiving grocery shopping...

I plan on doing Amy's kickbox workout today. DH & I spent a lot of entery yesterday working through some "issues", which is good for marriage in long run,...but exhausting in the midst of!

Anne, how does that accupuncture thing work? Does it hurt?

Lisa, welcome back! Did you have fun?

Morris, you amaze me! I despise early mornings! I literally drag my butt out of bed at 7am! Has nausea subsided at all? Just a few more weeks of trimester and nausea will be a thing of the past!

melanie, hugs sent your way!! a little cookie therapy can go a long way}( i sincerely hope you and dh are in a better place today. exhasuting is just the right word for working thru any "issues". it does feel better later, though, right? enjoy amy's kickbox workouts. that is one of my faves. i am going to watch grey's anatomy on line:)
 
Hi ladies!

Morris, I gain weight in the first trimester too.... more than what my maternity books state is normal or healthy or whatever. I accepted my body would do what was needed for the pregnancy.... I started turning around at the scales in the first trimester. :) I don't know about inexpensive gifts.... that is tough. Maybe a gift card to Blockbuster. I dunno.

Anne, your post has inspired me to give it a accupuncture a try. Now, to find an accupunturist in my area. I may have to go to St. Louis. Our Thankgiving is busy. We eat early in the day at my ILs. Then, we will eat at a friends (you know friends are family you choose). We cook at home too so we have out own snacks and favs. Lots of eating.

Kristan, any suggestions on accupuncturists?

Melanie ((((((hugs))))), I hope things are better between you and your DH. I got those videos in the mail finally or shoud I say my DH did it for me. When I get it out and run errands, it is easiest to go by the USPS last. Weeelllll, by the time I am finshed with my errands my DS is finished with running around.

Jen, how are you doing?

Guess that is all for now.

Toodles.
 
Morris - I'll add on to Autumn's suggestion of Blockbuster giftcards. You could do a cheap $5 gift card and put it in a cheap plastic bowl with a bag of microwavable popcorn and candy (which you can buy in bulk at Costco). I don't know what I think of the new weight workouts on the 4-day split. I think I'll always like PUB and the GS workouts better.

Melanie - I hope things with you and DH are good and even better after your talk. Sorry AF showed. I've been eating like crazy also. I really need to stop.

Kristan - I have 2 kids. I want 3 and that's it for me. How is it with 3?

Autumn - I think it'll be worth they try. I know it can get pricey, but I've heard so much positive feedback about it and successful pgs following treatment. Just find someone with a good track record.

Hi Anne, Jen!

I really need to stop stuffing my face. I don't know what it is and then Thanksgiving is coming up and I love Thanksgiving food. I guess I have to just workout extra hard! What is everyone doing for Thanksgiving?
