It's still technically Saturday here in Hawaii, but I know for everyone else it's already Sunday so I thought I'd start a new thread. I'm still trying to get used to the new forum. Pretty neat so far, but I must admit I'm a little lost.

I'll be back on tomorrow (today for everyone else) for better personals since I need to refer back to the other thread to remember what everyone posted.

Chat with you all soon!
 
Where is everyone?

I"m off to take a nap. I'm beat and have 4-10hr shifts this coming week (+16 hrs of driving).

I just finished my good deed for the day--- I sewed up some holey things for the family. I DESPISE sewing. It probably won't even hold, but eh, I tried!

Missing all my TTC/preggo moms...
 
Hi everyone!

Where is everyone?

I'm still trying to figure this all out. I have pics posted on my profile, but I've made the album private for now, which means if you want to see them, you have to request to be my "friend" and you'll have to go to frequently asked questions to see how that works. Perhaps I'll just make it public....

I've been eating like a pig the last couple of days.

Ds 13 left for scout camp this morning. Yesterday he was feeling a bit homesick already because he'd done the 15 mile back pack trip, followed by wrestling camp, and now this. I was moved. I'm also worrying a bit uncharacteristically about him. Must be hormones...

Melanie--I'm not seeing the picture you asked about. I'll look on your profile page--is that what you meant?

Lisa--so good to hear from you. It's been a while.

Hi Kate! Hi Jen! Hi Anne! Hi JenM! Hi Susan! Hi Stephanie! Hi Mikkia! Hi Candra! Hi Trish! Hi Kristan! Hi Morris!

Melanie--Justin's pic shows on your profile page! What a cutie! I couldn't get parts of my page to work--like listing my workouts and goals, etc. I can't figure out where the cursor will go so I can type. Back to figure it out.
 
Hey!
I finally found my way back to the forum. I've got a lot to learn. I was not able to sign in with Susan41 so I had to add a "K".
Had a nice visit with my mom.
Maggie-I would love to see your pics!
Melanie-I can't see Justins pic.
Tan Kate-where are you?
Hope everyone makes it back soon.
 
Wow, all these features I have yet to figure out. I'm thinking everyone else is trying to find their way also.

Maggie - It was my nephew's bday this weekend so I had my fair share of ice cream and cake. I usually don't even like cake, but being pg, the sugar taste so good. I'd love to see your pics, but I have to figure out the whole "friend" thing. That's probably what I would do to, keep it private.

Melanie - Can't wait for your u/s!

Susan - The forum wouldn't take my password so I had to reset it last night and I was 99.999% sure I typed it in correctly.

I did a lot of pilates, walking, and upper body weights last week. I've really been trying to cut down on the sugar intake, but it's hard. I have my glucose test soon too so I better stop. I've been gaining roughly 3 lbs every 4 weeks. Anyway, hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I'm off to get grocery shopping done for the week and some errands.

Hello

Tomorrow I tell my employeer & coworkers that I"m expecting.

I have a shirt all set out to wear, says "expecting".

I"m thinking of doing a non-elliptical workout in the AM. I printed off someone's post a while back of lots of "hard by time-conscious cardio" Cathe workokuts. Maybe Body Max 2, Timesaver Cardio---43 minutes. I don't think I've done that one before.

I told much of my congregation at church today of our news. DH decided that the office should be converted to the baby's room---so now my mind is swirling---cribs and themes---and that sort of thing.

I'm stressed about sharing the news tomorrow. My boss is not a nice lady. I keep on thinking she's going to try to fire me so she doesn't have to pay my maternity leave. I want to start saving $ so I can take lots of time off for baby. I'm thinking of taking off a week before c/s day as well as another 12 weeks after baby arrives---and go back just a couple of days for a month or so.

Ahhhhhhh, best get going. Check back tomorrow. :) Nice to be back.
 
Hello Everybody!

Tan Kate checking in!

I'm having trouble with my username - they're not sending me a new pw for some reason, so I added a 1 for now. I want my post count back though! GRR!

We are back from vacation - laundry is nearly done and I have to start thinking about packing for RT!!!!! I leave very early Thursday AM to catch my plane.

No time/energy for personals right now, but I've read it all and will be back in the AM.

Sleep tight! I know I will!

Hi everyone--

I just went ahead and made the pictures public so you don't have to go through that whole friend thing.

Kate--I hope you get your username and post count back. I know you weren't the only one with that problem. I think that someone posted a similar issue in open discussion and some people had suggestions.

Susan--I see you found the pictures. How is your back feeling? Better, I hope.

Lisa--I've been pigging out on sugar (bad, bad, bad). It's that final month of total discomfort and I'm eating for entertainment and distraction. Good for you on cutting back. I don't think that 3 lbs a month is bad at all.

Melanie--(((hugs))) and prayers for tomorrow. I'm sorry your boss is so awful. I don't think it is legal to fire someone because they are pregnant, is it? Well, if the king's heart is like water in the hand of the Lord, your bosses heart is too. Let us know how it all goes.

Hi Maggie,
I am feeling better. The pains lessons each day. Thanks for asking!
I have been pigging out on sugar too...but I don't have the excuse of pregnancy!
 
Hello,
Today was another hot and humid day, no exercise but tomorrow I WILL!!! We traveled back from my parents' today and got a lot of things done around the house. As soon as I laid down for a nap, my DS woke up (grrrrr!). Not much else going on here. Wednesday is my next OB appt.

Lisa-It sounds like you had a busy day. Great workouts!

Melanie-Good luck tomorrow. I love the idea of the shirt (cute). See below too.

Kate-Welcome home. Ahh, the never ending vacation laundry. I bet you are super excited about the RT!

Maggie-I did check out Melanie's and your public profile thing. I loved the pics that both of you had! Maggie-how did you create the album? I would like to put one on, but I want it to be private like you had originally had it.

Susan-Hi! Nice to see you here.

Hello to everyone else. I hope you all find your way over here.

-Jen
 
Maggie?

Do you have red hair too? Just looked at your profile. Were you in the desert. You and your DH make a cute couple. :)
