I am with you Skyy! I have about 4 weeks to go (hopefully sooner!)
I am at the library - can't talk long. hope you all are doing well. Does anyone have STS? My one client bought it to use while I am off and she is so disappointed and is selling it on ebay i guess. I feel bad. I did view it as she lent it to me over the weekend and I have to say I only liked plyo legs video and ab circuits. I am not too impressed w any of it.
I am very easy to please when it comes to Cathe too actually. Well, hope you are all okay and I will be on in a few days if I can! Still no PC yet!

Clarissa, I have STS. I've viewed the workouts and I think that it is something that I am going to like once I get back into working out. STS and running is going to be my way of life for a while. Hopefully, that will get me back in to tip top shape.
When do you get your computer back?
Jen.... The date night that you had with hubby sounded so wonderful. It sounded like you had a really nice time.

hi guys!
phew i thought everyone left me lol
yes, im very close, i will be 39 weeks on wednesday, due feb 18th. So really, anytime now i guess.
i have STS and its all i've been doing the past week or so i think i have a sciatic nerve issue so cardio has been non existant for over a week. So i feel like a FATTY Im so used to doing cardio 4-5 times a week and its been nothing but weight work since.
I like STS so far, i like how its quick. Its different becuase she doesnt do endless reps, its usally just 12-15. I'm only on week 3, meso cycle one. I dont feel any DOMS though, maybe im not lifting heavy enough. if i lift heavier im afraid by the time i get to meso 2 and 3 i will have run out of heavy weights. I started out of curiosity and since they are all 'new' i keep reaching for them. once the baby comes i'll be side tracked and probably wont workout for a while if thats what the doctor says. SO i'll have to start over again. But it goes by fast, i like the set, cathe is her usual self.
i want to go thru all the programs first before i give my full opinion on it since i'm only doing meso 1 so far. of course i never did the 1 rep max stuff, i'm not eating as clean as i should, and i cant do cardio so im not getting results. and im preggo and the weight just keep piling on....i wonder if this baby will be late
for you previous mommies...has anyone gone into labor WITHOUT having any fake contractions prior (ie braxon hicks??) I have not felt a single labor pain, false or not. So im crious. Friday the baby was still up high and i was not dilated, just 65% effaced.
i have noticed i have a crampy feeling tho, like what i used to get before my period started. is this a sign of anything labor related?

Jen - I don't remember much braxton hicks last time.. if any at all. can't remember for sure. but this time I'm getting them a bit more often and they are becoming increasingly uncomfortable.. but I don't think it is something your "supposed" to get just something you can get. like any other pregnancy symptom. My midwife said that since its my third I should get more. My first was 3 wks early but I don't remember them with him either.
Well I did horrible yesterday with my eating. I feel so bad. On a good note though some friends from church are going to do my shower! I was surprized some. So they said to go do my registry. I wish we had a good store to make one at but all the local stores have slim pickings. I may do one at toysrus (no babysrus here) and target so they can choose where they want to go. I said "are you sure no one will mind being its my third?" She said no look at the age gap they have and we don't mind helping you out! how sweet.

Thanks for the input Jess I figured it was normal not to get them but i always was under the impression most did and it was practice for labor so it just got me to thinking. especially since i'm 39 weeks and there is no dilating or anything going on. At least my cervix is starting to efface..i guess that is a good sign??
thats great they are throwing you a shower! the ladies at my church were so generous! I hope you get lots of great goodies! most people i know register at target and walmart, so maybe u could try there? Im sure at least one of those stores is near you since those stores are everywhere!
also, dont feel bad about bad eating. im right there with you! But at least you can do some working out right? Imgoing to see how i feel and attempt to do cardio tonite. i already know i wont get very far, but i at least want to try!! DH is working tonite so its just me and my little dog.

Yeah I'm going to do one at Target too. but Target is kinda far from some so I thought I'd do ToysRus also. They actually have some good stuff that Target doesn't have anyway. Its alot closer to some who live on that side of town.
Well yesterday takes the cake ha. on bad eating. I feel sick but I think its mental. ugh. I've never splurged that bad. oh well. I'm going to do better this week. Hope that exercise makes me feel better.

good evening everyone. im sorry but i have to be a downer. i just dont know what to do anymore. im at a complete loss. as you know i'm having SO many problems financially...well here is yet another batch of news for me, that is definately not welcome.
i was expecting some videos from my friend today (new workouts) so i called my DH on the way home and asked him if they came. He said no but that i got something "BAD"
so i asked him waht it was and it was a letter from my old job up north, which i quit over 1.5 years ago. They told me that i owe over $6,000 becuase i signed an agreement to give them 2 years if they paid part of my student loan. I was there for five years but apparently the agreenment was to serve 2 years MORE and i had only ended up staying on one more year : ( And of ocourse they just now caught this and when i signed off on the job i was good to go.
so this was unexpected and definately NOT welcome...where am i going to get that kind of money? Nothing like kicking me when i am down between the foreclosure in va, getting sued over va, the problems with my house in fla and not knowing if im going to lose this house, losing all my money and funds, a baby on the way any day/week now and everything else going on. oh and my mom just had to get her gallbladder removed and is in a lot of pain and of course i'm here and just cant do anything for her. sigh.....when it rains, it pours...

Oh Jen. I'm so sorry about that. I wonder if there is a way around it? thats just wrong for them to blow that off (or not notice) that long them dump it on you like that when they feel like it. sigh. I wish I could help somehow. I hope the rain stops soon and the sun comes out. Maybe things will all work out somehow. Hugs!!

Good morning ladies.
Me and my achy butt are here at work. I woke up with a yucky stomach and i just want to go back to bed i wonder when this baby is going to come?!?!!!
anyhoo..jess, it says i can write a letter tot he chief of police to request a waiver, i will try but i really dont see what good it will do since i did not give an extra year after what i should have My husband is going to help me write it, but honestly i dont see it going anyway. I dont have this money and honestly i do not know how much more of this i can take. I have nothing and im losing more than what i have and i just dont know how i'm going to stay afloat short of being homeless. Its just so much to deal with at once with everything else going on. I dunno, i guess i'm just whining and feeling bad for myself. I know everyone has problems but im just feeling super overwhelmed with everything.
last nite i did STS #8 (i think) - whatever workout is the next back/tri workout. I dont know if im not lifting enough becuase i never get DOMS doing STS. Im just a mess all around tho haha. I did try a body combat workout and did all of it, but i had to modify and not do a lot of the impact becuase of that sciatic nerve issue. at least i got to sweat a little, but its just NOT the same as what i'm used to!
hope everyone has a good tuesday

Jen - well you have a right to be frustrated. But try to leave it all in Gods hands. I know thats easier said than done. Life has its valleys and hills though so hopefully can't go on forever. I'd say do your best with that letter. You really need the help and even though it 'technically' is your fault hopefully they will waive it for you. Since it went so long without going noticed it will be more likely to be waived I'd hope.
Well I didn't think anyone noticed my cat pic haha. I may put it back. I was playing with these letter pics cause I was thinking of making name collages for my kids but I dunno. saw a funny looking J so though it was cute. ha.
I left something at the grocery store yesterday. I think.. otherwise it dissapeared into thin air? they said to bring my reciept and they'll help me so I'm going to go try. I also left my wallet but they ran after me with that after I walked away. I have no idea where my head is lately!! lol. My braxton hicks are getting stronger too.. to where I have to stop and breathe and go whooo! and wait for it to pass ha. but they are sporadic so just BH. I'm going to go chug some water.

Cool you got your avatar I hope you get your dvds too.
Well, I for sure didn't get some like this before (BH). But I hear it's more common with 3rd pregnancies on. My midwife told me that. Plus I do need to drink a bit more water. I was doing better before this week.

Good morning everyone, hope you are all doing ok today. it was a quiet day here yesterday!
if anyone drinks coffee, Dunkin Donuts has free medium coffees all day today. Im thinking about it, but i'll be too lazy to drive there im sure.
Im at work and very tired...i kept hitting snooze this morning. it was hard to drag my butt out of bed. im still pregnant, i dont think the baby dropped and im not having any show or contrations sigh..I think she is going to go past my due date. Im 39 weeks today.
I feel fat, blobbish and i think im outgrowing the shirt i picked today and that makes me feel uncomfortable. my feet already exploded at work. usually they wait at least half an hour haha. sigh..sorry guys, im kind of whining arent i?
well, no workouts for me until friday. DH Is off the next two nites so i just hang out with him. Which is fine becuase my workouts stink lately anyway!
