Alicia~how far along are you? I hope the bloating/tiredness lessens up for you.
Lisa~good workout yesterday! I am still learning all the abbreviations.
Kate~glad you started the thread becuase there wasn't one when I went to read from last night. LOL
Well I am going to head out to run.. then I might try leaner legs. I got it yesterday along w/ Imax2. We'll see how I feel! Oh and the last 3 days I have been craving chocolate milk. Reallly bad. I don't normally like milk at all. I don't mind chocolate or strawberry. I have been making up about 4oz of ovaltine and freezing it and eating it like a slushie. Normally milk sotra grosses me out, but this way I can eat it and it doesnt' feel like milk. Not sure why this is.. lol I just think too much about it and where it comes from. I don't eat beef either and usually never pork.

Kate~that might be it. Normally when DH is home and I cook things it seems I use a lot more cheese. I keep it around becuse DH likes to just take a block of cheese and cut off a hunk and eat it. I tended to eat it mroe too since it was around. Now that he's not here I haven't been buying any cheese except the kraft singles for the kids sandwiches.. maybe I am missing the calcium. Really ovaltine isn't so bad frozen. LOL

Hi ladies. I don't work again until Monday, so Kate will need to open posts. 
Milk aversion, know it well. Just don't crave milk when I"m pg, and IF I do it HAS to be chocolate. No strange cravings yet, but I did almost eat an entire pizza last night--chicken alfredo. It tasted okay, I just couldn't stop.
I bought some salad stuff & lots of protein smoothie stuff. I've already gained b/w 3-5 lbs. I normally gain 10lbs per trimester or so, but I have another month to go! After DS #3 was born I had to work so hard to get the weight off, I want to be more healthy this time around. My hardest challenge will be Mt Dew which I aim to eliminate by end of 1st trimester.
I stopped at nursery last night and got some flowers to plant. This is our first Spring at our new house. I got some hostas to fill in the empty gaps, bleeding hearts, and some annuals to spurce things up. We have 400 yr old pine trees in our yard and oodles of trees so I have to pick shaddy flowers.
I'll check back later. I'm so excited about hanging out with my kids for FIVE days!!!

Hi gals,
I'm running late this morning. I woke up at 5:30 this morning with kind of a worried feeling and laid in bed for nearly an hour trying to feel the baby kick, which I didn't. DH brought me some apple juice, which made him move around a little, but not much. I then fell asleep until my late sleepers woke up. I'm a little worried. The baby is normally pretty active in the a.m., so I'm off to make some breakfast to see if I can stir him a bit. From here on out is when I get obsessive about the movements. I'll bbl for personals.
Hope everyone is having a good, sun-shiney day. ...

Stephanie, my littlest did not move around much in utereo. He was under 6 lbs when he was born,...so that made sense to me. Try to relax, I'm sure everything is fine.

Melanie~ hostas are great! we have quite a few in our shady areas and they just grow and grow!
Stephanie~how far along are you? I keep forgetting these things.. lol I do know that mine have all went through active times nad less active times. I wouldn't worry about less movement as long as you can get them to move if you drink juice, lay down or something like that. Figure out what gets them moving nad if you try that and it doesn't work then I'd call the dr. It is so hard not to worry, but as they get bigger they have less room to move around.
Okay really I am going to run now.. I just got a wild hair and decided to clean out all the kids drawers and pack all the winter stuff up for the move. SO that is done. felt good, but now I am behind and haven't gotten my run in. Good thing it's not too hot today.

Hi Guys, So I felt him a little bit after breakfast, but he's just not very active today. One or two small kicks here and there. But I did feel him, so I'm not going to worry too much. I'm going to drink a root beer in a few minutes (because it sounds SO good), and I know that should get him going.
Trish-I'm 23 weeks. I just started really feeling movement at 21 weeks, whereas, I felt movement a lot earlier with my other boys. Maybe this little guy is just more laid back.
Melanie-Hope you have fun planting! Your plants sound beautiful.
Kate-2.5 pounds is not a big deal! You're doing great. I'm too scared to get on my scales.
Well, I'm going to indulge in a soda (which is a rare treat). Hope you guys are having a good day.

Hi everyone--regular school is over (have given ds 13 summer school assignments) and everyone is upstairs peacefully eating breakfast, so I am determined to catch up.
Yesterday, I attacked the girls'room, which was a literal pig sty, but oh joy, after I pooped out, they continued working on it. So different from prior years where I had to sort of guide them every step of the way.
I also did tons of reading aloud (which I love and, by the way, I think is an extremely important part of education--hearing the written word spoken) and it felt luxurious. Our son with downs is developing a longer attention span and I'm really happy about that.
I did SH Ch/B with 30's and 25's--modified the back a bit to do one arm rows to support my lower back more. I had to take some extra rest between sets. I'm a little sore today, but I love DOMS because it feels like I actually accomplished something.
I will attempt 30 minutes of Basic Step today. I've never done that one, because it's just too easy, but maybe my back can handle the slower pace and I can get some cardio in.
Kate--Don't worry about that weight gain. I doubt you are eating 1250 extra calories a day above what your active self is burning. I think that water retention can really do a number on us whilst pregnant. You are doing great. Oh and the tree fell down due to rot way inside. From the outside, the tree looked absolutely beautiful.
Trish--cravings are funny, yes? I'm craving altoid peppermints and am eating waaaay to many of them. Dh and Ds 13 are always teasing me about being an addict--dipping into my little box. It's a 3rd trimester thing. Could you freeze your sour cherries and make that cobbler for when dh comes home? Or you could make the cobbler and freeze it. I do tons of frozen food.
Melanie--Enjoy your five days off with your kiddos. It sounds like you really deserve it. And you've got me beat for length of marriage. We've been married 15 years on June 14.
Stephanie--(((hugs))) from one worrier to another. I tend to obsess over fetal movement too and this little one shows no discernable pattern. She'll move a lot for a few days and then I'll hardly feel her at all for a week or so. How exciting that you write children's books. I spend way too much money on books. Just keep trying to get them published.
Candra--I went to U of O in Eugene for a couple of years, but I like Portland better. I did not know about listeria for my first 3 pregnancies and then my SIL let me know and I've been kind of freaky about it since. I did cave into extreme morning sickness cravings and eat stuff I shouldn't have anyway and then worried about it. My OB told me that in the last ten years of his practice, which includes about ten obs maybe more, they've delivered 1000's of babies and have had only one case of death due to listeria and that involved an imported cheese. That eased my mind a bit, but I still avoid those foods. Just my nature. I'm sure everything is fine with your wee one.
Mikkia--sorry about the morning sickness. I'm glad you were able to keep soup down. I look forward to you feeling better really soon. I think morning sickness is the worst part of pregnancy.
Lisa--pregnant brain--I definitely have it. I have to use the back button a lot as I read the posts, because I'll forget everything too. Kudos to all of you who do personals without the back button or an extra tab open:7
Susan--(((hugs)))I'm glad it looks like you won't have to have a D&C. I think that would be really hard on top of everything else. Keep us posted.
Alicia--I hate being bloated. I feel especially gassy during the 3rd trimester when everything is all squished up inside. You'll get your energy back soon. The first trimester can really drain you. take care.
Anne--It's good to hear from you. It's definitely cool here in Oregon, but not dry. My garden needs more sun. You are in my prayers.
Kristan--I think I should take extra iron. Actually I should just remember to take my stupid prenatal vitamin. That would probably help. I think you are far enough along that you deserve to take it easy. If you don't mind my asking, what type of attorney are you?
Jen--You're free! You're free! Nice feeling isn't it. My 9yo dd said after her state test on Monday, "Release the Prisoners!" Hope the wart removal heals up nice and quickly.
Hi Morris! Look forward to hearing from you!
I really hope my pregnant brain didn't miss anyone--not intentional.
Now off to tackle the house and enjoying a more relaxed schedule.

Melanie - Sorry for the long work week. So funny about your MD addiction - if I recall, that was during TTC alsor right?
Trish - Way to go with IMAX2! I'm not a big milk person either, but I'll drink it. I know I probably don't get enough calcium though.
Kate - I try not to step on the scale at home and let myself be "surprised" at the ob. Don't know if that's the best idea, but I figure I'm way too obsessive otherwise, lol.
Stephanie - I'm totally aware of fetal movement or lack of also. I'm sure it's okay still at this point in your pg. I think they make you count when the baby gets a little bigger. I understand how it's hard not to worry. I'm totally like that also.
Maggie - Want to come and clean my kids' room? I'm dreading when we have to put in their floor. I'm donating or dumping a lot of things that they don't play with anymore. The afterward will be nice, but the during doesn't sound so exciting. I love reading to my kids also.
Hi everyone else! Sorry if I had to cut short and miss anyone, but I have to get ready to go to work. Does anyone else have issues with their bbs still hurting? I swear, they were killing me at work yesterday and I really need to invest in a new bra, but just haven't had time to go shopping yet.

Lisa~I didn't do Imax 2 I just got it yesterday.. lol I might brave it one day or I might just save it for after the baby.
Stephanine~ could have have a placenta on the front? I forget what it's called, but it does make movement harder to feel.. maybe that is why you felt it much sooner w/ the others?
Maggie~ great workout yesterday! I have basic step, but haven't done it for a long time. I'll have to remember that for later on. That would be a great one to do!
Kate~I agree 2.5 is not bad.. it's the overall gain not the week to week so just keep up the good work!! I always have weeks of going up and then others I stay the same for a few weeks then it just hits all at once.
Well I didn't get much running done.. I ended up walking most of it and did 4 miles. I swear some days I can go right for it and 5 miles is easy and then days like today I kept having a pain on my right side.. really low.. so either the baby is smooshed over there and kicking something or ligament pains.. something. So I walked most of the way. I came in and decided to lift weights on my own while I previewed LL. It looks hard!!

Hi everyone! I am getting a late start this morning.
Kate, I won't even step on the scale for fear of what #'s I will see. I know I gain a lot of water weight. We have plenty of time to lose it after our babies are here.
Trish, frozen ovaltine sounds really good. You reminded me that I have to go and pack up all my boys winter clothes. They dress in pants and long sleeves when it is 100 degrees outside with a jacket if I don't pack them up
Melanie, enjoy your time off work. I am going to bake those muffins you posted the recipe for. I have to go to the store today and get buttermilk.
Stephanie, now I really want a rootbeer. I am a worrier like you about the baby moving. If you are feeling a few kicks that is good the baby could be turned so you aren't feeling his movements.
Lisa, me and you both need to go bra shopping. I am popping out of every bra I own and I could barely squeeze into my sports bra this morning.
Maggie, how much longer do you have? You are lucky to have your older kids to help you out. I have a 15yr old nephew and a 14yr old neice and when they come over I never want them to leave they are so much help with the kids.
Mikkia, I hope you are feeling better today.
I have another day of running errarnds. We have to go to the bank, post office and to the grocery store. The boys are playing nicely right now so I think I will do some laundry b/f we leave.

I"m so grateful to those like Trish that post when they're workout are tough. Thank you! I also sometimes have really hard workouts. I"m glad they don't happen too often, but sometimes I have to walk too, or can't get thru a warmup on DVD b/c I just can't get into it.
Flowers are in (except bleeding hearts). It's cold and windy here, in the 50s!!!!

Candra~have fun w/ the errands. That is the one day I dread because loading and unloading 3 kids a few times is not fun.. lol
Melanie~oh yes at least 1-2x per week I have issues w/ running. I am not sure if it's my kidneys or ligament pain.. something just gets hurting over there on the right and when I run and do more bouncing I can't stand it.. walking seems to be okay so I just stick w/ that. Then I remind myself anything I can do or get done is better than nothing. Hang in there on those rough days. They are usually followed by a good day!

Melanie, Your flowers sound beautiful. Enjoy your time with your kiddos!
Stephanie, I take great comfort in movement too. Go pop into your ob's if it will make you feel better. ((hugs)) I'm sure all is well - maybe he's just taking a little extra nappin', like me lately!
Trish, I love organizing - you feel so accomplished. Ooh! I want LL (the whole series actually!). A walk sounds great - wish I could get away today.
Maggie, You're getting some good cleaning out done too. I love story time too! Great WO's - I love DOMS too.
Lisa, Funny you mentioned that about your boobs - mine had another growth spurt recently! My 6-yo. noticed too! It was really funny!
Candra, My Isabel is the same way withher winter clothes. She loves her sleeves to hang long and would wear a sweatshirt year'round if I let her. Hvae fun errandmaxing!
Busy day for us today. Wednesdays always seem to be extra stressful with work stuff. DDs played in the hot tub for a while while I did some work stuff. I turned the temp way down today so I can get in with them next time.
I am eating SOUR GRAPES right now - yuck! Trying to get a healthy snack and avoid the fam's chips that are in the pantry!

Lisa- You mentioning your boobs reminded me of something really funny. I was getting dressed Saturday, and I had on my bra and my pants and my 3 yr old walked in and just froze and looked at me. I'm not shy. I leave the door open when I get dressed, go to the bathroom, etc. so I can hear the kids. I didn't think anything of it, until I put on my shirt, and he said, "Aw Man, I thought I was going to get to see your big things. They're my favorite!" I almost died. Needless to say, I make sure no one is around now when I'm dressing. Apparently, my "big things" have become shockingly big.
Candra-I'm the world's worst about wearing winter clothes in the summer. I love to crank up the AC and put on my sweats. I adore sweats. My DH affectionately calls me "Steph in Sweats." The show What Not to Wear would have a hay day with me.
----
So I ate almost everything I could get my hands on today because I was nervous and I wanted to feel him kick more. I think sometimes when you're overly aware of the baby's movement, you can't feel it -- like watching a pot full of water boil. So I sat down at the computer a few minutes ago and decided to partake in some retail therapy. He moved around a bit when I was deep into concentration over what to buy. So that's good. I bought him a coming home from the hospital outfit from Potterybarnkids.com that was on sale. And I got a beautiful blanket to wrap him in. (DH would have a cow considering I have two kids' worth of blankets already, but I wanted something new and beautiful for his first day home.) I better stop buying stuff or I'll have spent a fortune by October!!
Hope everyone is having a great day. Sorry for the long post. I'm a bit fidgety today, so I tend to write A LOT when that's the case. Thanks for being there, guys!
ETA: Melanie--I meant to tell you that I said a little prayer today that the potential buyers agree to your counter offer. I hope it goes well!!
Candra-I'm the world's worst about wearing winter clothes in the summer. I love to crank up the AC and put on my sweats. I adore sweats. My DH affectionately calls me "Steph in Sweats." The show What Not to Wear would have a hay day with me.

So I ate almost everything I could get my hands on today because I was nervous and I wanted to feel him kick more.

Stephsnie, Your whole post had me in stitches! Thanks for the much-needed laugh! ITA over new blankie! That first trip home is so special. He does need something new! Besides, when he's older you want to be able to show/give him things that you bought especially for him. I'm such an enabler!! Glad you can feel him squirmin' more!
