*** TTC/Preg Wed. July 23 ***

Mikkia, Are far enough inside TX that you won't get any damage? Hope you can catch a nap! I didn't! Bummer! They tried though, I guess. They sis lay quiet for about 30 min. Guess I'm th eonly one who needs the nap today!

They're playing Barbies now...guess I'll go do Imax3 step combos.
 
I ended up doing PP lower body x3. Sometimes GS legs is just too long.

Mikkia, let me know how Space Chimps is. I am going to take the boys either tomorrow of Friday.

Candra, GS lEgs is def. too long right now! I thought about doing it y'day and did 4DS legs instead!

Just got done with Imax3 step combos. Sweaty but fun.
Sad moment: I lowered my step height to just the platform!:( Wish I didn't have to but it made the WO much more doable and a lot more fun.
 
Hey girls! Hope everyone is having a good afternoon. I still have to clean house. The newsletter took longer than usual this month.

Melanie--I hope the leg treatment works for you!

Kate--I love the crib set you picked out! I've been buying a lot of Pottery Barn Kids stuff lately (their sale stuff has been pretty reasonable). I just love it! Tomorrow I plan on taking the boys to my mom's house. My sister and my nieces are coming too. Just a little playdate and a chance for me to visit with the girls.

Mikkia-Hi! I think I like the Low Impact Step part of 4DS. I'm not a huge kickbox fan, but it's pretty good. It's just a lot easier to do now than step workouts, IMO. Have fun trying it out!

Back to work...
 
Melanie-I forgot you earlier. I said my brain is not working! I am sorry about the leg cramps. I only get them when I am pregnant and I get them in fromt of my shins, not the calf. I hope your vitamin cocktail helps!
Kate-We are outside San Antonio, so we should just get thunderstorms. I know how you feel about lowering your step, like you have surrendered or something. But you worked out and that is what counts!
We missed Space Chimps! Their web site said 1:55 and we got there it started at 1:35 so we will try again tomorrow.
If on cue, my brand new Pottery Barn catalog came today...:p
 
Mikkia, you're so sweet to think of me.

As if life isn't unstable enough for us,..... just got a call from a chain pharmacy that is buying out our records on August 5th!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I thought some strange stuff was going on around here, and now what? Are they going to want a pregnant pharmacist? Are they going to give me my bonuses that I'm entitled to? Are they going to pay my salary & benefits that I worked so hard to negotiate----after I moved my entire family here?!?!? Sometimes life is just, well, hilarious!!! How can I possibly handle anything else? I feel so sick to my stomach.
 
Hi Ladies!
DD and I have made 4 dozen of Melanies muffins. I put choc chips in 1 doz and they are delish!!!!!!!!!
We have been playing "baby records office". Don't ask me how she comes up with these things! I must say I am very burned out on playing! When I was a kid I was not as imaginative. I was outside on my bike all day. DD would rather just play dolls, which frankly bores me! I would never tell her that though!

Candra-great on the workout! I often to the total body x2 of PP. Love it!

Kate- I love the step premix of IM3. I ad that on when I do weights. Its fun!
If I don't "see" you again, have a great, safe trip!

Steph-I am also trying to do some cleaning! I wish I could vacuum!! I 'll have to get dh to do it tonight!

Melanie-are you feeling better? Only one more day of work, right?

Hi Mikki!!

I've been figuring out my class schedule for this fall. I only have to take 2 more classes before I can apply for Dental Hygeine school!
 
Stephanie, Yourplay date sounds like fun for everybody!

Mikkia, Thanks for the understanding on the step! Sad to say, but I think I'll keep it lowered for the rest of my pg. Sorry about the movie. Whatcha gonna order from PBK?!

Melanie, YIKES on the job! We'll keep our fingers crossed - keep us posted.

Susan, Thanks for the well wishes. yay to the schooling! ps - dolls bore me too!

---need to pack still! I guess it wil wait til after dinner and bible study.
Hope to be back. If not - I'll miss you all and post details and pics when I get back!
 
Melanie--oh what news. Has anyone spoken to you about your job? I am praying for you. I can't tell you how much "instability" the Lord has carried dh and I through--job upheaval, financial difficulties, health issues with Malcolm, major betrayal by extended family--but although it's been difficult it's all been for our good and His glory. I know it sounds cliche, but He truly does work all things together for good to those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose--that's you, Melanie. Cling on to that now. (((hugs)))

I fixed the rubber topping on my high step today as it was peeling off and unnamed children felt the need to help it along. I did some things with the kids and cleaned a little and fooled around on this site waaaaay too much. I'm going to have to put myself on a cathe nation diet.

Dh is going to try and fix the stationary bike for me--yay! My back is so tweaky right now that if he can get it fixed that is all I will do, cardio wise, until I quit before delivery.

cravings update--diet coke, altoids (I googled addicted to altoids and was pleased to find that I'm not alone), and grapefruit. I'm out of all three and somewhat out of sorts...


Susan--I have a hard time playing with kids as well. I love to read to them, bake with them, talk to them, do crafts with them, teach them, but I just don't like playing and I had a great imagination as a child. I also don't like to watch their sporting events--my heart pounds with nervousness...

Candra--sometimes you just gotta let them sleep in...I officially start school the day after Labor Day. We are doing "light" school this summer, but not as much as I had hoped.

Kate--I think I'm to the point where just the platform is too much :( . I've done pretty well on the stretch mark front, considering how big I get. Now loose skin on my belly is another story. And I'll be really bummed if I end up with loose skin on my feet :eek:.

Mikkia--no danger from the hurricane then? Sorry you didn't make the movie. Will you get a nap anyway? Dh is taking dds to see Iron Man tonight as a consolation prize since they do not get to go to camps like their older brother....that means I have all three little ones. Maybe we'll watch a movie of our own and I'll nap on the couch. sounds good.

Stephanie--I hope you get some good cleaning done!

Hi everyone else!

I just got off the phone with KMart, and it looks like things will be okay. We have under 2 weeks to get a contract built. It looks good right now, a little raise & 13 weeks of PAID maternit leave. OF course, I didn't tell them I was PG...
