Hi there ladies. Are you all rested from the 4th? I feel pretty good right now I didn't w/o again this AM---but I"m a little leary of not having enough energy to get through my 55 hour week---so slow and easy for this gal. After my nap yesterday, I was up for about 2 hours before I was ready for another one I"m so scared of getting as tired as I as a couple weeks ago.

Yes, my house is actually 5000 square feet--but I only shampoo'd 1/2 of it---and not the kitchen & baths---so about 2000 sq feet. Not as impressive as it once sounded. ;) Our last house was 1200 sq feet total---so we really enjoy the room to actually move now!

Kate, how did all the church company thing go?

Mikkia, are you back now for summer, or just a resting spot before your next move? ;)

Anne, any new symptoms?

Kristan, R U here?!?!?

Trish, any news on your house? Any new showings?

Candra, staying cool now? It's only 65 degress here this AM!

Stephanie, how those workouts going? I haven't seen you list any!?!?

Susan, good job off the pain killers. you sound like a fast healer

Hi Jen 1 and Jen 2, Lisa and anyone else!

Best get off to work, hoping to have some extra time to stop by grocery store to get some fruit. :)

Melanie, Thanks for asking. It was a really busy day but very nice. As soon as I got DDs to bed I did payroll stuff for 4 hours. I hope your work week goes well for you! Have fun fruit shopping!

Our AM will be at home so I'll do some UB weights then in the afternoon DDs have dentist appts so we'll go out to dinner. I may go to water aerobics tonight. I'm waiting to see if one of my sisters can come.

Anxious to hear about Kristan!

Hello Everybody back from a long weekend!

bbl.......
 
still here, 3 days after due date. typing w/ 1 hand- pumping w/ the other trying to something going. good news is that i got 1 oz of milk! going to dr today, bbl.
 
Morning girls. I am being forced to go to work this am. Its hard when your boss lives in your house}( . Not much going here, dd has dentist today at 2 so I get out of a little work...
Kate-Have fun at the dentist too. Payroll is so much fun isn't it. Have a great day!
Kristan-I am crossing my fingers that today is the day!
Melanie-Hope the week goes fast and yes,I don't believe that we are going anywhere else this summer.
Hi Candra, Maggie, Jen, Stephanie, Susan, and anyone else I forgot!
 
hey everyone!

kristan, i am thinking of yu and hoping you go soon. when is your c-sec scheduled if you do not go into labor? it sounds like you are almost there and i am wishing you an easy delivery.

i just wanted to say how much i miss you all. aidan is now 4 weeks old and doing great! i feel wonderful though i am averaging 4.5 hours of broken sleep a night. we are fine, though. dh has been gone for `1 week and should be home by friday i hope. i am pleased weith how well we are doing though. tired, sometimes cranky, but fine. i am back in prepregnancy clothes but have 2-3 lbsto lose. not concerned with it though. i am running a little now - 4-5 miles a pop. i am doing endurance weights and that feels great - me, pyramids, circuit workouts, ctx. i will wait on abs for another 2 weeks.

i am so glad you all sound so good. so many are coming up on the 3rd trimester! take care, everyone. i will post soon i am sure.
 
WOW, Kristan! Good luck today! Maybe your ob will tell you you're 5cm dialated!

Mikkia, Must be dentist day for our girls! I hope work passes quickly for you!

Morris, So god to hear from you! I've been thinking about you! You raised the bar on post-partum fitness! You're a robot, woman!! When DH gets home you take lots of well-deserved naps! I bet he'll think Aidan grew a ton while he was gone! I'm sure it's not easy for him to be away. (((hugs))) for all of you!
 
Hi ladies!
I missed you all this weekend. We were at my in-laws house, and I am SO glad to be home. The trip really tired me out. Did everyone have a good weekend?

Melanie--I love how you're keeping me on my toes!!! I have been listing workouts too! Last week, only two workouts, though, but they were good, long ones. B&G (sans the guts) and ME upper body mix. Then this weekend we we walked a lot but nothing formal. I'm hoping to get some eliptical work in today, though my machine's resistance broke, so I"ll have to climb longer. Or I may do B&G again. It works so well, and gets my heartrate up. Your house sounds SO beautiful, BTW.

Kate-- You have such a busy day today!! Remember to take some time to rest!

Kristan--I'm hoping today is your day! Good luck!!!

Mikkia--Hope you're feeling better today.

Morris--I am so glad little Adan is doing so well! And you are doing so great--running and weight lifting and back into your old clothes. I'm totally in awe. I know it must be rough doing it all yourself this week without DH. I hope that you get some much-deserved rest when he returns!

-----

Today will be a slow day here. I just have a lot of laundry to do from the trip, but kiddos are pooped and need a lazy day. I will do my workout though!! I ate so badly this weekend that I must get back to work!! Hope you all have a lovely day!! :)
 
Glad to see you Stephanie and that you had a nice, if tiring, time. B&G is ambitious - good for you! I hate post-vacation laundry. How was the drive?
 
PUB Pyramid Down premix is done! So is lunch, so now we get ready to head to the dentist.

DDs are OFF. THE. WALL.!!!!!!! I'm about to lose my mind. They're being good but SO LOUD!!:eek:

Have a great afternoon!
 
Hi girls! I have just be crazy busy here. I hope to check in once it settles down. I am doing a yard sale on Thursday and so I am packing a lot and preparing for the sale. I am leaving Friday to go out of town till Monday so I am trying to get lots of stuff done as far as getting the kids school/medical records, animals to the vet, stuff like that. When I come back Monday my mom and dad will be here till Sat. and then we only have 2 weeks till DH is home and we move. It's going to be a crazy month for me. I am thinking of you all.

Was hoping to get some news on Kristan.. hang in there girl!!
 
Hi everyone!

It sounds like everyone had a good 4th of July weekend.

Kristan, I feel for you. I always went a week past my due date. No fun at all:-(

Mikkia and Kate, you are reminding me to make my kids a dentist appt. I keep putting it off b/c the last time we went for two cleanings it was $500:eek:

Melanie, we just moved from a small house too. Our new one isn't as big as yours (3500 sq ft) but I do enjoy having all the space and I have my own workout room:)

Stephanie, coming home is why I don't like traveling. There is so much laundry and putting away.

Trish, do you know where you are moving yet?

I already took ds1 to the doctor this morning he has swimmers ear infection. I did gs chest and triceps when we got home. I was going to take the boys to the library but it is closed on Mon. and we can't go swimming b/c of Wilson's ear, so I guess I better just clean the house.

Candra
 
Hi Candra and Trish!

I have a question for everyone: My mom and sister want to take me to a spa for a little special day (I loathe showers, so this is their little, "yey, you're having a baby" thing), so I was wondering, are manicures, etc. OK to get when you are pg? I rarely get manicures, and I never get pedicures, so I didn't really know. I'd love a haircut, but this particular spa charges, get this, $120 for just a haircut. Yikes!

Hope everyone is having a good afternoon!!!
 
Stephanie-what a wonderful treat and such a great idea(I will pass that along to anyone wanted to do a shower for me!!)I think as long as they clean their grooming tools and you don't shave your legs 6-8hr before you have a pedicure you should be fine. if you want to be ultra safe, don't let them cut your cuticles, just have them pushed back. If it were me, though, I think I would let them do what needed to be done. i hope they do a little massage on your legs with the pedicure, how divine!!!
Candra-I just got back from the dentist with dd, ds goes tomorrow for sealants on his teeth. Needless to say I am not looking forward to it. I to think I get to start all over 6 months from now with cleanings...
Trish-You sure are busy, but sounds like you have it under control. good luck with all of your projects!

We are having a downpour right now, and the kids are whining. i think we will bake some cookies. the good thing about all day nausea is that cookies have no appeal to me, not even the batter!
 
Trish, You're a busy girl! I bet you all are so excited to see DH soon!

Candra, Why on earth were your cleanings so much?! Ours are around $100 each. Sorry about Ds's ear! Ouch! Great WO!

Stephanie, Have fun at the spa!!! I'm jealous!!! No clue on spa safety - I'm a very low-maintenance gal! (and I don't mean that to be derogatory to anyone!!! I SHOULD probably take more time to get ready on the AM!) Give me my headband and my messy bun and I'm all set. No manis/pedis here either. I've had a couple but just for weddings that I've been in.

Mikkia, We had big rains today too. I've been wanting to bake but I'm afraid I'll eat too much! Plus we're leaving for vacation soon and I know we'll be frequenting the ice cream shops so I'd better be careful! Did you know you can buy pasteurized eggs so you can eat the batter?!?!?! I could care less when I'm not pg but for now, hands off for me.

Besides PUB I got an hour walk tongiht with my sisters. We had such a blast!
Off to practice my hypnobirthing!
