Jen - aww what is a pregnancy forum for but to whine about our symptoms haha. No one else wants to hear it likely but we all understand! (well even btdt moms will talk about pregnancy stuff ha). I know what that nerve pain feels like and it's frustrating esp when you want to workout. I hope I don't get it this time. My arms feel better today but my left arm was bugging me all night. I wonder if it is that or not? I don't know why else it would've been hurting though. My headaches seem better too. (crossing fingers) I'm so nervous to say that I don't want to jinx it lol. I need to go in and get my glucose test done before my next appt. Probably this next week. I'm going to wait till my glasses are ready so I can do both the same day (both same side of town).
Laura - well glad your pregnancy is smooth sailing! Hope it stays that way for ya. ha. Just be thankful you don't have any issues yet and hope you will be lucky not too. Carrying a baby around though has it's way of taking its toll.. mostly near the end though. Thankfully we can bounce back afterwards for the most part. Good you've had no more bad dreams. I have some really weird ones mostly.

Hi everyone,
I will keep everyone in my thoughts. I hope that it things settle down for you all. I've also had some issues this week, but not with the baby.
I have had people try to bring down my happiness with having this baby, but I won't let them. It is like me and hubby taking off after the baby arrives is putting a damper on their schedules..... and it may be, but I am going to be a little selfish now and not concern myself with that at this point.
But enough of that. I had another doctor’s appointment today…. The baby is already 7 pounds!! Wow!! Looks like I will be having a 10 pound baby. Someone tell me to breathe………..breathe……..breathe……
Well… It is Friday, and I am my happiest on Friday’s. Let’s see how I am tomorrow.
Good-night Ladies,

Hope everyone is having a good Saturday! I'm planning on doing a Jari Love tonight. I think I'm going to go back and forth between total body and lower body till the baby comes for weights. I want my rear and thighs more toned before he comes. ha. I'm eating two meals at church this next week. We do a monthly potluck and that is tomorrow and Friday were doing a catered valentines meal. The kids will get pizza and I get BBQ from a resteraunt. mmmm. Hoping I can find some healthy stuff at the potluck. I always bring a salad just in case.
Skyy - Sorry people are giving you a hard time. Can you share where your going? sorry if you did already and I forgot.
When is your DD? Well I know lots of ppl who had 10 lb babies. I may end up having one too. ha. Noah was about 9 lbs. My DH was almost 11 lbs when he was born so that makes me nervous. Did you get an U/S to determine that? They are not always accurate though you know. They can be off by quite a bit.

good morning everyone
skyy- i feel the same way you do. 3 weeks ago my baby was almost 7 pounds. im 38 weeks and miserable at the moment (swelling, carpal tunnel, and i think i have scaitic nerve pain becuase my left leg will give out and make me limp ) And i am not dilating or anything an the baby hasnt dropped so i think i have a few more weeks to go which means the baby will grow some more over the next few weeks. Yikes!! When are you due again?
jess - mm potluck and bbq. free food is always good! I like Jari Love workouts. Lately all i can do is weights but i feel like abig fatty since i cant get any cardio in without hurting myself. stinks! I was doing so well up until a few weeks ago. Oh well
last nite was a good nite. DH and I went on a date We went to Joe's Crab Shack andsplurged - we should not have, but we did . We each ordered a steam pot and it felt healthy. It had crab legs, shrimp, corn on the cob and new potatos. Then we went to the moveis but of course had some candy with us. We saw Taken.
We got home around midnite and watched a few episodes of Housewives Season 2. We did nto get to bed until 3am and fell asleep around 4 so......im very tired this morning. its already 1230 in the afternoon and i have not done squat. i'm so tired! haha.
gotta grocery shop today tho. maybe hit dunkin donuts for some coffee to jump start me
hope you all have a great day

Jen - now that you brought up the nerve pain I think that was a big reason I started walking instead of kickboxing etc near the end. I think I would get that when trying to workout also. well hang in there! your almost done. The last few weeks really do crawl by though.
Wow the steam pot sounds SOOO yummy! mmmm. I sometimes boil some shrimp with corn/potatoes in cajun spices. I guess you call that frogmore stew... well my kids don't like it though. They also wouldn't probably want to eat crab or lobster. bummer! sounds delish to me! Sounds like you had a fun evening.

7 months Tuesday
Hi all,
Okay, I'm posting some pictures my dh took last night. I'll be 28 weeks on Tuesday. Let me know what you think--be nice! The first picture for each pose is with the abs "engaged". I only do this when I stand and I know I won't be able to do this much longer. Letting everything out on the second picture for each pose is uncomfortable as it creates so much pressure on my lower back.
Clarissa, I intended to call you last night, but I had a ton of things to do. Today is no better. I did a lot with getting the nursery ready last night. I hope you're feeling okay.
I killed my legs yesterday with a run (no more of that--too much abdominal pressue) and then leaner legs. I'm sore! I went to the thrift store and got a mirror for the car (baby) and a diaper bag. I've never even seen a Firm tape (VHS no less) so I'm going to try that today. Cardio and back here I come!

Laura - Looks like your getting a baby belly . It is uncomfortable for me to pull it in. Then everything gets even more squished than it already was haha. So I don't suck it in for belly pics. Speaking of it's been ages since I took some. ugh. I would see a difference though if I did pull my tummy in with my abs but I'd have to about hold my breath to do it.
ARGH I got a bill for running a red light. I am very careful about that so I have a hard time imagining it was me so I think it was DH. He also got a ticket last year. This happened in October and they said we never paid the fine..... well I never got a notice till now! $75 down the drain. argh. Could've gone to baby gear. sigh.

hi ladies
where does the weekend go? i swear...
i did STS #7 today and it was hard. i think it had way too many pushups lol but i tried to do all of them. o f course i had to drop to my knees. i've been trying out the ab circuits on the end too. i have done zero cardio in a week and im really feeling it. i feel gross, fat and flabby. maybe its all in my head. i just miss cardio but this pain on my side leg/butt is not going away i hope when the baby comes this will just disappaer. same with the swelling
laura - yay on showing with a baby belly! Most likely you will be all belly
jess - well that stinks on the red light ticket, but consider yourself lucky! OUr fines here are over $200 for running a red light I know it stinks tho, especially since you were not expecting it and $75 is a lot of money. that stinks.

Jen - wow $200!! ouch. I think I'd have a heart attack opening a bill for that for a red light. eek. Sorry about the pain keeping you from cardio. Can you go for a nice long walk? It isn't much compared to the cardio we're used to but it's something. I actually hoped it'd help labor come on sooner but it didn't. He was a week late from his due date.

yeah i dont know about walking. im ok but after the end of grocery shopping it got reaggrevated. so any amount of time either sitting too long or standing too long just makes it worse its SO hard to not sweat and do cardio
im still doing STS but i feel like weights are not going ot keep my weight at bay. and if the baby is late then its still that much more time without cardio. i fear im going to lose any gains i made all these years i've been working out I guess i'm being dramatic...
yeah our traffic fines are crazy here. and they just went up. i just about passed out hwne i saw a new one - improper tags on a motorcycle are $1144!!!! Yes, i typed that correctly. THe other ones are not that extreme. id ont even know the reasoning behind THAT one...yikes!
