Kristan, I don't know how you keep your good attitude. I always figure my babes will be here 2 weeks PRIOR to due date---and then begin to get grouchy if things don't begin to happen a week before my "own adjusted due date". Thankfully, my due dates have been more accurate---I usually go in 10-14 days prior to doctor's due date. 
I"m considering packing wee-ones up and taking to park/picnic/beach area about 30 minutes away. I know that they would love it. My husband is a wonderful stay=at-home daddy,....but he doesn't take the kids anywhere. Which is fine,... I like to take them places so they can practice there social skills with other kiddos.
No more "movements", it must have just been gas that day.
Kate, a day off of w/o is nothing to be ashamed of. Besides, today is the Lord's Day---a day of rest.
Will be back later to check what's going on with you ladies. Tomorrow I start a 6-day chain of workdays. 3-days are my regular job (90 minutes away) and 3-days are in-town. I"m hoping it'll be easier to endure with the break up and a little less driving.

Good Morning!
Kate, you have got a busy day ahead.. have a good one!
Kristin, yes they put in a cadiver (sp) bone and a titanium plate. Actually, I am the first in ARK to get this new plate with the bone already attached. He was going to take off my old plate and use it since the bonefused perfectly, but he couldnt get it off and would have had to make a vertical incision too, so he had to go with the new hardware. Im be sending you stronger contraction vibes today!
Maggie, I was just as weak with my first surgery and remember it being sooo hard to lift a 5lb weight, but I got all my strength back in a couple months. Its amamzing how weak my arm got in 2 days.
I remember feeling much better the first time around but I was on steriods too, and I think that made a differnece..Melanie???
Hi Jen, welcome new Jen, Candra, Stephanie, Mikkia, so sorry if I forgot anyone. I'll get back to more personals next week!
Mom leaves today..sure wish she could stay a week!

O.K., grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...I just accidentally deleted a long post. I have more energy today, but did not exercise yet. I just cleaned the whole downstairs, so that counts. I saw a really interesting infomercial yesterday on kettlebell workouts. I can't find any info on that particular infomerical or product online, and I was wondering if any of you knew what it was called. I saw some talk of other kettlebell workouts on the open discussion forum, so I may post there too. It looks like something I may like to try. Have any of you ever heard of them, done them, have them???
My mom is coming later to spend the week to watch DS while I have my week-long class. At least the class is over on Friday.
Melanie-It sounds like you have a great day planned. Have fun!
Kristan-Are those contractions any stronger? I'm thinking about you.
Susan-I wish you a speedy recovery. Is there any chance this will happen again?
Kate-Enjoy your day off of exercise.
Hello to everyone else!

Hey Jen! Glad you have some energy today! Could of it of been AOS (art of strengh) kettbell infomercial? Its the only kb workouts I know of. I had the entire set and weights but sold on ebay. I just dont enjoy kb moves. Hopefully my neck problems are over. These 2 disc are the only ones I have ever had a prob with starting back in 1995 and the are both fixed now!!
AF is about over. I really need to decide if I need to take a month off from ttc due to all of this. I feel like I am running out of eggs every month, but my neck also has to have chane to start fusing. I will most likely wait one more cycle.
All of you will be moms again before I get preg!

Hi everyone--
I am unbelievably tired. I know I'm low on iron, but I hate the constipating effect. I caved and popped 2 stool softeners along with an iron pill. TMI? well, we're all pregnant here.
We are starting to feel little baby body parts through my stomach, which the kids think is wonderful. My tummy gets lots of love and attention throughout the day.
My lazy workout week:
PUB Chest and Back (my dvd started unexplicably freezing after this, which upset me, because the dvd is flawless and I've never had trouble before--I think the play station is going bad.)
Walking on incline/sh/tri/bi--circuit of my own making-1 hour
Heavy legs in the garage with the smith machine
40 min hike on treadmill
Body Fusion--planned for later when dh and ds get home from wrestling.
JenM--It sounds like you have a good relationship with your step kids, which is nice. I hope you have fun at Disney World. I've never been to either Disney World or Disney Land.
Melanie--Sorry about the house woes. Praying for wisdom in your decisions here--I really have no idea what you should do. It sounds like a really tough situation.
JenJaypea--Are you thinking of Body Fusion from the easy Cathe workout dvd? That's what I'm planning to do later on today. It's a good pregnancy workout, I think. I like to slow down the weight reps and go heavier though. Good luck on your class.
Kristan--You sound pretty calm for being late. I'm usually a crying sniveling basket case by the time my due date arrives.
Kate--I made the kibbee and it was a big hit. We did cook it, however. Raw meat must be an acquiered taste. . I have no what it is served with traditionally, but I served it with pita bread and a yogurt/cucumber/mint sauce and everyone liked it. It's a keeper.
Susan--you sure do have a good attitude about something that sounds like a big deal (to me anyway). It's good to know you will regain your strength quickly.
Hi Stephanie! Hi Anne! Hi Candra! Hi Trish! Hi Morris! Hi Lisa! Hi Mikkia!

Hi everyone! Just got in from Houton. It was nice but very tiring, I think I need to nap! We went to Benihana for anniversary diner and saw Walle(I didn't see it as much as I slept through it) I just read today's post and you guys sure do keep busy.
Melanie-How are you feeling? Ready for another work week?
Kate-How was your anniversary? Hope it was great, and yes Sunday is a day of rest, so rest!!!!
Jen-Your mom is coming? That is so great!
Maggie-Sorry about your woes! That is so not fun, and that has been a big problem for me this time too.
Susan-what happened to you? What ever it is I sure hope you get better soon. Did you have surgery?
Hi to anyone I have missed and I hope Kristan had her little one!

Maggie~ you make your belly sound so---well, wonderful. Thanks for the house prayers
Mikkia~ has your nausea subsided?
I just woke up from a nap after a 4 hour trip to playground & beach. It's much cooler today-75degrees, so I didn't go in the water. There was a cool breeze too. The kids enjoyed the picnic, but are getting harder to get to sleep for naps & bedtimes despite me trying to wear them out!
Dinners in the oven, a casserole, broccoli, and garlic bread. I"m pretty proud of myself putting together a well rounded dinner---doesn't happen as much as it used too.
No workouts again today, but I did vaccuum & shampoo my entired upstairs---and we have a 5000 square foot house. That should account for something.

After my workout today, I went and took a cat nap. I just doze--never really sleep. I've never been so tired during pregnancy in my life.
Mikkia--glad you are back safely. As far as I know Kristan hasn't had her baby, but then again, she hasn't posted today, so maybe.....
Melanie--Wow! 5000 sq. feet? that definitely qualifies as a workout. I'm tired just thinking about it. Enjoy those clean carpets!

Hi,
We just got back from a fireworks show, and it was awesome. There were so many types I have never seen before. My DS was antsy, but that's par for the course.
Maggie-It's so neat when they move, isn't it? Mine kicks and moves all the time. Yes, I meant Body Fusion on the easy Cathe DVD. I usually used it for my easy exercise days, but it's a great pregnancy workout.
Melanie-5000 Sq ft??????????Holy Crap!!! I can't keep up with my small house let alone a house of that size. Shampooing your upstairs definitely counts as a workout!
Good Night. I am a little nervous about the work load of this course. I will report back tomorrow night.
