Today dd and I both go to the dentist, then to run some errands. We leave for Nashville on Friday and dd will be staying there for the following week. Dh says I better get ready to "run" from him..haha. I know he was kiddding, but really not. HA
I need to finish balancing the checkbook then I will be back.

Good morning ladies,
I too am sad for melanie. I have been thinking about her since she mentioned the news. I hope she still keeps her presence on our forums! I have prayed for her and hope things will turn out ok. So melanie, hang in there. Its not your fault it happened. I know alot of people blame it on stress but i've read stress has nothing to do with it and its just genetics. You have a lot of support here!
Kate!!! i've been waiting to hear from you lol. I read about some of the airplane delays and i really hope i dont have bad luck next month. I cant wait to go. i'm nervous and excited and i STILL need to buy some clothes to workout in everyone had such cute outfits so i need to get shopping. Cathe looks amazing, her legs are incredible. Jai always looks great too. Looks like a fun time, please fill us in when you settle down
Good morning everyone else, i hope everyone has a great day! i'm dragging and tired today, i will NEVER EVER get used to waking up in the dark..

Susan, yay to vaca with DH!!! Sounds wonderful!
Jen, So many details, so little time! RT was amazing. I did have to modify some, but I was expecting it. You should be just fine. As far as clothes, some get primped up, others are there just to WO - no worries. I'll try to post a pic later. So much to do this AM.
cya later.

Hi ladies.
Still so sad for Melanie. I don't know what she's going through, but I know it has to be the worst emotional pain. I read her other post, and my heart breaks for her. I just hope that she realizes it wasn't anything she did or any stress that she had that brought this about. She'll be in my prayers.
Kate--Sorry you had travel woes. I heard there were a lot of those with this RT. Glad you're back!! Can't wait to read all about your trip!
Susan--Are you guys staying in Nashville or on the outskirts? I live just about 45 minutes south. Hope you have a great trip!! It's really really really been hot here, so pack accordingly!!
Jen--Hope you have a good day!! You must wake up really early!

Well, I have to go to the grocery store today and do laundry again. DS wet his bed again last night. He's got the potty training down during the day, but not night. He was doing great when he slept in pull-ups. Now that I switched him to big-boy pants, he has accidents at night. So I'm buying more pull-ups today. He's still sniffly and grumpy, but I can't figure out if it's a cold or allergies. Poor thing. I'm thinking it's a mild cold.
Well, I better get movin. Hope everyone has a good day!

Hi girls!
I was just catching up on all the weekend posts.
Melanie, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope you continue to check in but I understand if visiting here is too hard right know
Kate, good to have you back. I can't wait to hear all the details.
Stephanie, my oldest had to wear pull ups at night until he was 5!
Susan, how long are you going to be gone for?
JenM, are your stepkids home w/ their mom now? I am excited for you to get to go on the rt now.
Good morning everyone else. I have to go get breakfast ready and then we have gymnastics, so I will check back later today.

Hi everyone--
The barbarian hordes are upstairs eating breakfast and it all seems relatively calm, so hopefully I have time to post.
Melanie--I don't know if you'll need a break from this forum or not. I probably would, but what ever you choose, know that you have been in my prayers and our family prayed for you last night during our devotions. I also want to stress with the others that this is not your fault. (((hugs)))
Kate--it's good to have you back safely. I can't wait to hear more. I suspect there are pictures somewhere on the forums, but I haven't go around to looking at them yet.
Kristan--Sorry about the bleeding--I've done that to (stopped, over did it, and started again). See, that's the trick about having a larger family--you learn to delegate. My older ones not only help with dressing, but with car seats, and getting drinks and snacks for the little ones. It's good for them and it's good for me. I try not to "over load" them with responsibility, because I don't want them to feel resentful. So far all 3 big ones want there own large families. They really enjoy having the younger sibs, even though it means some sacrifice.
Stephanie--I'm about to quit working out. I usually stop at 38 weeks, but I really don't want to have permanant back pain. We'll all get it back post partum, right? Ooooh--I want a fun Saturday like yours.
Jen--hurray on the potty training. I'll bet he'll get it totally within the next few months. We always stressed being "big" like daddy or like Gabe (the big brother in the home).
Lisa--sorry to hear about your back pain. It really sucks. I just don't want it to be permanant. I know from experience that cardio capacity and strength can be regained fairly quickly--our muscles seem to "remember", so let's all just keep that in mind .
Morris--good to hear from you. It sounds like your workouts are fantastic. I'll bet you are totally back in pre preg condition. Glad your little ones are doing well and thriving.
Susan--Oh my--your dh will have you all to himself for a week? Have fun . Someday, dh and I would like a long weekend with no kiddos....maybe in a couple of years? Anyway--I hope you get some alone time and enjoy yourself--do some things that you normally wouldn't get to do.
Jenm--I hate waking up in the dark!
Candra--Good to hear from you!
Hi Trish! Hi Anne! Hi Mikki!

Stephanie, Sorry about the bed-wetting. Yuck. No fun! Not looking forward to going back to that some day! Hope he gets feeling better too!
Susan, Good job with LIS. No sweat on the 30 min. WO - you are recovering from MAJOR surgery! Take care of yourself! You've gotta be ready for Sex Max: 7-Day Split when you're in TN!!
Candra, Hope you have a good day today!
Maggie, How are the barbarian hordes today? I'm amazed you can sneak away at meal time! How are you feeling? Any signs that things are changing?
----------
Midwife appt. went well. She's concerned I'm not eating enough so she wants me to keep a food journal this month. I reaallllly don't want to - oh well. Guess I will! I'm 28 weeks, I've gained 16 pounds. She wants to make sure I'm getting enough protein.
Headed down for a nap. Hope everyone has a good afternoon

Hi Kate!! Welcome back! Can't wait to hear the details of your RT. I'm the opposite from you regarding eating. I have gained 20lbs already at 26 weeks. Yikes!! Oh well, we'll see what happens. I know I slow down a lot in my 3rd trimester w/ weight gain, but we'll see.
Susan - I like 4DS LIS. The 4DS is perfect for busy weeks.
Stephanie - I'll be right there doing laundry with you today! I took the day "off" since the kids start school tomorrow, but doesn't seem like much of a "day off".
Hi Candra, Jen2, Mikkia and everyone else!!
I know a couple people were asking last week where I lived, but I can't remember who. Anyway, I live in Hawaii which is why I sometimes start the thread on my late nights since it's morning for a few of you. I did a long one hour major hilly walk yesterday so I think I'm going to just do a normal walk today and upperbody weights. I have to get going for the day. Gotta go to the kids' school to get things ready for tomorrow, do some last minute errands, and then house chores. Fun stuff!

Lisa, Sounds like a nice day for you! Great WO too! No worries on the weight gain. I actually got a lecture that I'm not eating ENOUGH!
Susan, YAY for Haley! Gina lost the top 4 in the span of about a month recently. She looks so goofy and cute. I love it!
I got my origianl username back! I'm so excited! Now I can really start using the features here.
I just had a 2 HOUR NAP!!!!! I am so exhausted from the long travelling. I think we're going out to dinner too - I need to grocery shop before I can cook anything healthy.
Have a great afternoon/evening.

Hi ladies. I didn't get too much laundry in today. I did it, but now I have to fold it. We went grocery shopping, and I got really light-headed when we got home and broke out in a clammy sweat. I had to lay down, and I haven't felt that great since. Ugh.
Kate--Glad your appointment went well. I hope that you start eating more!! You should come see me. I'll fatten you up! Seriously, I was thinking about starting a food journal for the exact opposite reason. Did your midwife tell you that protein bars/shakes are OK to take to boost your protein intake?
Lisa--Aloha! I am SO jealous!! Send us pictures sometime! Must be hard living in paradise.
Susan--I'm familiar with Smyrna. DH works for Nissan's headquarters here. We go to their yearly picnic in Smyrna, and since it's always in October, we go to a really neat pumpkin patch there afterwards.
Candra--Hope gymnastics went well! My oldest DS wants to take gymnastics. Do your boys like it?
Maggie--If I lived near you, I'd take you for a spa day too! You deserve one more than ANYONE I know.
Well I won't be working out tonight. Still feeling shaky from today. I watched A Baby Story on TLC today about this woman who was lifting HEAVY weights up until her delivery. I mean, literally, she went to the gym the day of her c-section to get a workout in. She was ripped too. I think I was eating peanut butter as I was watching this. Ugh!!!

Stephanie I hope you are feeling better. Could your blood sugar have dropped? Thats how I feel when that happens.
We have been to a pumpkin patch around Smyrna too..probably the same one! We moved from Smyrna 6 years ago and it has grown so much!!
Kate-glad you got a good nap!
time for supper

Susan - We're currently 3 hrs behind California and 6 hrs behind the east coast. I was born and raised here and never left. It's quite pricey, but all our family is here so it's really hard to leave. The pool sounds sooo nice. I've been running around doing errands and now have to do laundry. I rather be at the pool!
Kate - I have to get familiar with the features also. I haven't had much time to just sit and browse through everything although I did see the workout manager thing that I probably will use after giving birth. I have no problems eating at this point in pregnancy!
Stephanie - I hope you feel better. Did you eat today? I saw that Baby Story and I think I was eating a bowl of ice cream when I was watching that episode!
Just got through with lunch. I ate a veggie sandwich, but ended it with a bowl of slow-churned double fudge brownie ice cream. And to think I have my glucose test in a couple days. Anyway, I really want to nap, but have to get some laundry done and get some work in.

hi. Today I did the 4ds High Impact Step only. ANd when I was finished, I gracefully tripped over the step.
Stephanie- I am queen of the "shaky sweats when I haven't eaten".
Lisa- I like the double churned ice cream from Edy's or Breyers.
Maggie- you are seriously just around the corner! ANy names in the running? I love your kids' names.
I had to sit thru a 3 hour phone conference to get in my professionalism continuing education hours. BORING. The kids were crying because I had the conference on speaker phone and "that old guy talks too loud..."
