TTC/Preg Check in Week of Oct 19th

Melanie-I'm sorry about AF. I thought mine was supposed to show today but it hasn't. But according to my chart I might have O'd late (just this past weekend) so I am hopeful as we did BD but only once. But I feel for you with the 2WW. Every symptom and twinge I have been having makes me wonder if I am pregnant. I wish our bodies would ^ding^ or something when the little eggie was fertilized, wouldn't that make it so much easier?

I haven't been working out because I have been so exhausted. But I think I am just fighting a cold so I really doubt I am having any symptoms. I miss working out and it's only been a week. We are also decorating for our Halloween party for the kids at work and it has been taking up most of my evenings. Each zone area is decorating for a different board game and we chose Candyland. It has been so much fun but now I am a little over the whole candy thing.

Hope everyone else has a good day! I'm sorry for anyone I missed but hopefully I will get to know everyone more as the time goes on!
 
Jess - Congrats on seeing the hb!! It's always such a sweet relief to see.

Melanie - BOOOOO for AF!!! Yes, TTC is a trying process, but hang in there and we're all here for you.

Not much going on. Tomorrow is my dr's appt. and I'll probably get a time down for my induction for the 30th. Can't wait!

Thanks Jen & Lisa for your supportive words. I sometimes feel like it's just not meant to happen. I know that's just negative talk. My little Jadon plays the "baby" roll sooooooooo well. :) He's such a sweetie! :)

Krillie, sorry I missed you. I KNEW I was forgetting someone! What's your real name?

Today I did ASC3. Well, almost all of it. I did sections 1--3 two times. I haven't attempted section 4 yet. :) I have her hi/lo from Netflix....anyone know if her choreography is challenging on that one? You just have to be in the mood to learn new chooreography.,...you know what i mean?!?!?

Jess, you feeling better today?
Jen, have things slowed down?

Tomorrow I begin my 3-in-a-row work stretch. I've been looking at my finances, trying to figure out a game plan for my sign-on bonus that's due to me in a couple of weeks. I'd like to pay off all my miscarriage bills---so they aren't haunting me every month. I think I can pay off that & a couple credit cards, put some $ in savings AND buy another car. We'll see. Money never goes as far as you plan it too!

Off to put munckins to bed!...
 
Good morning ladies,

Sorry I have been MIA, but my toddler is keeping me busy. My DH is working a lot lately, so it's just DD and I all day, so she is keeping me on my toes, hehe.

Melanie - So sorry that AF came. With DD it happened the first month we were trying and this is our first month really trying with number 2, so I will know more next week. So I never have been through this waiting game, this must be so hard. My real name is Kristine.

Sweetpea - Hopefully this is the month for you.

Lisa - Oh, just one more week and you will hold your little one in your arms, how exciting.

calvillo - Sure hope you are feeling ok today!

Good morning to everyone I missed.

I will try to bbl
Kristine :)
 
Good morning everyone, and as the hubby likes to say, Sure Happy Its Thursday (S.H.I...haha) not as good as TGIF though!

Melanie, i LOVE amy's cardio hi/lo workouts. Her step sometimes frustrates me. its still fun and enjoyable but sometimes too much thinking. Her hi/lo workouts are easier to pick up. I'd say on the first try i get about 80-85%, then by the time i do it a second or third time ive got pretty much 100%. Once you get used to Amy's style, and her way of cueing it becomes easy. I LOVE Cardio/Hi Lo KNockout, and i really enjoy hi/lo Dome (Which is shorter). In the Ring is Good too, but i like knockout better. And her older one, Hi/Lo Extreme is fun too and the choreography isnt that hard. Shes like the energizer bunny and she always has really upbeat music. I love Amy's hi/lo. And i HATE hi/lo so that says a lot!! She 's the first instructor who made me love it and everyone else still pales in comparison.

So...hoep that little rant helped. And, hang in there with your TTC. You've been through a lot lately, so just take care of yourself and take it easy on yourself and it will happen in time, God willing. You deserve it :)

Good morning to everyone else. Nothing is new with me. I'm feeling my little one move more and more. I have most things i need now, since i've been buying a little at a time. There is still more to get of course but i'm doing the best i can, considering i cant even afford to feed myself the past couple of weeks.

I really dont know what i'm going to do when the baby comes and i have to take some maternity leave. i am eligible for 3 months off - but its UNPAID and i just dont see us keeping afloat. It wouldnt be so bad if my DH didnt pay child support for his three kids from his first marriage. that KILLS us. I wish we waited to purchase our new home. Now they are selling for way less than what we paid and the mortgage would have been cheaper. Sigh..i have the WORST timing.

Ok, i'm being a downer, sorry about that.

Ive been eagerly awaiting my two new Tracey STaehle workouts , they shipped Friday and i thought for sure i'd get them Tues. at the latest. But here it is Thursday...so here's hoping they come today so i have two new workouts!!

Oh..in case noone knows there is a website called videoexchangefitness.com that i am active on. its all fitness and home workouts. you can go to the exchange and post your wish and trade lists, then you can trade away dvds / vhs youdont want, for workouts you do. you can also post health/cookbooks on your lists and equipment as well. It also has tons of forums for discussion etc and reviews of workouts - old and new. Just in case noone knows about it. I found it a couple years ago and it has saved me TONS of money, all you do is pay postage and sometimes people give workouts away for free :) So anyone looking to try something new for practically free you should check it out.

and no, i'm not affiliated with them in any way lol.

Ok....enough rambling from me. Hope you all have a sparkling day!
 
Good morning ladies!

Well according to my chart, I officially O'd three days ago so I am in my 2WW.

Tonight is the night of our Halloween party for the kids at work so it should be fun! We are not getting much work done this week but that's ok.

I have big plans to work out this weekend since I haven't in a week. I know that is not a long time for most but for me it is. I haven't been eating all that great either so it is time to get back on track.

Ok so I take it we have three Jens now on here. We need some sort of nickname or number system like Melanie started (#1, #2 or #3) to keep us all straight. :)

Hope everyone has a great day!
 
Jen#3, were you "active" during your peak period? It's not really fair for me to say we've been TTC when we're hardly ever "active" during peak time. Urgh!!

Jen#2, sorry about money woes. I hope the economy settles down. If it helps any....worry never solves problems. Each day has worries of it's own...try not to worry about it right now....and there is NOTHING you can do about DH's child support. :( So....somehow....you will have to "let this go"....so you don't get bitter. I know it's not fair, and I"ve been there girlfriend!!!! Hang in there!

Today was day 2 of my period, which tends to be my heaviest. I woke up this morning with a super plus tampon overflowing onto my over nights super maxi pad with wings. Okay, probably TMI....sorry! But it drains me sooo much!

I did get Tracey's newest DVD---STeady State STep. I worked it for about 20 minutes---it's as long as my Justihn would let me...after working all day he was starving for my attention!!! I think i"ll like it. :)

Gotta go. HOpe everyone had a great day
 
Just a quick drive-by post. Scheduled my induction today for next Thrus, the 30th at 8am. I am 3cm, 60% effaced and at -3. I don't think I'll be going on my own before then. Not feeling much contractions. Baby is moving around staying comfy in there.

Jen#3 - Keeping my fingers crossed for you during the 2ww.

Melanie - I so don't miss that about having AF around.

Kristine - Are you on the TTC train or the Preggers train? I'm sorry, I get so confused with everyone, call it pregnancy brain!

Jen#2 - It's a hard call with the leave situation. Would love the time with the baby, but got bills to pay. I know what you mean.

Lisa
 
Good am ladies! I just did a short Turbo Jam Cardio Live, and I'm off to work. My AF flow finally slowed down. It's so darn draining....much much heavier and longer than when I was younger.

Take care ladies. BBL
 
Melanie -hope AF is over soon so you can try again :)

Hope everyone else is doing good.
I'm feeling better for the most part. Still a bit icky but I'll take it over the migranes. I'm starting to look at workout video clips online again and hoping I'll be doing that very soon.

I'm craving those biscuits and gravy again. ugh! I'll have to bundle the kids up to go thru the drive thru though cause its cold this morning. I'm still tempted lol. I had a dream about it and I even ordered exactly what I'd get. weirdness. I usually just eat cereal or something in the AM but this random craving keeps coming back. ha.
 
Good afternoon ladies! It's been a busy morning at work! I haven't even looked at my computer until now! Our Halloween party for the kids went great! They had a great time!

Melanie- We only BD one time before I O'd because I was thinking I wasn't going to O this month at all and had lost hope. We went out of town Saturday and Sunday and I didn't temp and now I wish I would have because I might have a more accurate date. But I am feeling pretty confident about it. If not, there is always next month. I am going to try and wait to test on the 31st if AF doesn't show on Monday or Tuesday like she is supposed to. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays so I am hoping that it will bring me good luck. If not, we will try again next month. I'm glad that AF is slowing down for you. I had really heavy periods when I was younger but I took the Depo shot for so many years before TTC that I really have no idea what is normal for me. That is what makes TTC so much harder for me. Every little symptom and twinge has me wondering.

Jess-Sometimes you just have to give in to those cravings. Don't worry, you will be back to track with working out in no time. I hope to start working out again this weekend. I have taken a "health hiatus" this last week and a half and tight pants are feeling it. :)

It seems kind of bare around here lately. I guess everyone is just busy. I hope everyone is doing good and having a great day!

Jen
 
Jess, resist the urge!!!!!!! A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips. :D :D LOL----I personally think it's okay to indulge....now is your time.

I"m exhausted. Work was tough today, I didn't sleep well. :( It's dark when I go to work & when I return so I"m on the road 4 hours/shift instead of 3 and it drains me. I"m trying to stay positive for the winter season ahead....
 
hi all
i hpoe you had a good friday. i havent been posting much but i try to pop in and read.
not too much is new with me though. today i was off, thank goodness.
i was hoping i'd get Tracey Staehle's new workouts - they were shipped last friday and STILL nothing.,
so i popped in Imax the original because i needed a butt whoopin. Anywy on the 10th step routine i did the double jump on the step and i felt my back give and i heard a weird crunching noise. so i stepped down and it hurt so bad. i apused to stretch it out and it hurt like i dont know what. im having trouble sitting and standing and bending so i guess i hurt myself somehow. and on a very simple move!
my husband was pissed. he said i should not be doing step pregnant and shouldnt even be lifting how i lift. not that it shows. i feel like a huge cow and im gaining so much weight. i told him its good to workout! but he thinks step isnt a good choice. that never happens so i dont know what that was all about :(
anyway, i did gym styles back, shoulders and biceps too and i felt fine.
i have noone here to massage it, since DH is at work every nite this weekend and its just me and my little shihtzu.

so..tomorrow is anew day. i hope i can do some sort of workout. i hope my new tracey's come!!

oh, i got some groceries tonite and i saw Edy's Slow Churned Samoa girl scout cookie ice cream. i bought it. and had some. its sooooooooo good! if you like those cookies you will love the ice cream. they have chunks of the cookie in there. yum :) after i just talked about me being fat lol...um...the baby wanted it *ahem*

Ok, well i just wanted to say hi, hope you all have a great weekend. i know it'll go by fast and icky monday will be here before i know it..
 
Melanie -I kinda wish I hadn't eaten it. I felt a bit sick afterwards ha. I ate good the rest of the day though. I'd say its pretty rare I splurge though so I don't feel too bad. I'm actually down a few lbs because of being sick so often. I'm still having a few headaches but they aren't as bad as last week. I took midrin today for the first time and it helped.

Jen -the ice cream sounds goood! I'm not a big icecream person but I like it on occasion. I may have to try that kind :) What I like is those tiny sugar cones. Cause then you don't eat as much icecream as say when you eat out of the carton or make a big bowl.

I'm sorry you got hurt working out. I hope it feels all better soon. working out of course is great for you just gotta be more careful. I think you can lift weights as much as your able? I have heard women say they had to cut back on step when expecting. I did kickboxing my entire time with my last son till the end.
