TTC/Preg Check in June 17th

Stephanie~ that is just the most fantastic news!! So happy for you. Now praying the GD is neg.

we are heading out to the trail shortly. I got a great run in earlier.. no pain!! I hope to get a good 4 mile walk since it's mid 70s and a light breeze.. it feels GREAT outside! Gotta wear these kids out!
 
I'm not cleaning anymore today. I'm going to read to the kids and we also need to start watching our Lewis and Clark documentary. I just got done reading a great biography of Meriwether Lewis (he came to such a sad end) and I look forward to seeing footage of all the areas described, although I'm sure much has changed since their trek across the US.

Stephanie--that's good news! You can rest more easy now.

Candra--At least your little guy gets dressed. My ds 4 1/2 thinks that "dressed" means underpants. Oh well, last year I was struggling to keep him from being naked all the time (the results of my unconventional method of potty training). You'll really enjoy the pool, I think, so get out there and do what you gotta do:)

Kate--Yes, the cleaning feels good, but it depresses me how bad I let things getx(. I wish I had a system to stay on top of it better during the school year.

Hi everyone else!

Maggie, by 4 year old hates clothes too. Oh, and that way to keep on top of housework? That's called a maid. I don't have one either. :(

Please don't feel bad about cleaning. My theory is that something has to give, and I don't want it to be time with my kids, me not cooking healthy meals, or not taking care of ourselves. My sister's MIL had a major heart attack last night. she is alive but it terrible shape. She was a single mom, worked 3 jobs to raise her children, but did not take care of herself. Her faovirte meal per her son? Steak and frosting for dessert. Can you think of a better way to have a heart attack? So don't worry about the cleaning...
Oh and my ds doesn't like clothes, period.
 
Oh, how stressful for sister's MIL!!!! She sounds young too?

Trish, Nice evening for you guys! I bet you are really missing your DH though!

Maggie, You sound like you have a nice evening too. I bet your kids are great - wish I could meet you all. I have a house cleaner that comes once a week. Now that I'm not working so much I'm going to have her come every other week. It helps so much. But there is still other stuff she doesn't do that I get so far behind on. I'm soooooo glad to not be working quite so much anymore. Now if I could just get DH to quit expanding the business!! He is so stressed all the time.

Mikkia, So sorry about sisters MIL. How awful. Is sisters DH doing okay?
 
Maggie, I think you and I have the same potty training method. I took diapers away and let my boys run around naked. It worked like a charm both times. I also have the same problem keeping up with housework and I don't homeschool:)

Mikkia, sorry about your sister's MIL. It never pays not to take care of yourself.

Kate, sorry about the stretch marks. So far I have never gotten one. I have this pregnancy gotten spider veins on my legs, it is not very attractive. Avon has a cream that is supposed to help them, it's probably a waste of money but I am going to try it:)

Candra
 
Candra-there is this stuff called bio-oil(I think)a friend of mine swears by it for stretch marks, spider veins all sorts of stuff. I am already getting the spider veins too. Must be extra blood volume.
maggie-did Candra's potty training method work for you too? i'll try that next time. My method did not work at all.
BIL is in a little bit of denial. He however wants her to move to Dallas to live with them. Sister not so happy but what do you do? I don't know if I posted w/o today-Bootcamp. Went okay, just no umph!
 
Mikkia, I will have to check out the bio-oil. Is it in drugstores? Or do I need to order it from somewhere? Good for you getting a workout in. During the first trimester I went a couple of weeks with only working out once.

Candra
 
Another vote for letting kids run naked for potty-training! Works great!

Candra, My pg SIL has some wicked veins on her legs right now. Guess I'll take the tummy stretch marks that I can hide!

Mikkia, Good for you doing a WO!

I just finished MM UB. Felt good. Part of me wanted cardio but my belly wasn't havin' it, plus it's time to work UB. CS/Bar tomorrow. My round ligaments are sore so I'll need a trip to the chiro in the morning.
