Good AM! I have sprouts of new pimples all over my face & back...indicative of upcoming AF...just waiting....I have to be so prepared b/c I flow so heavy first couple days....
Yesterday I ended up doing Cardio Knockout premix of 45 minutes. It was good (Bento's)....but i did get sweaty and hair do flattened.
I didn't even have time to shower b4 my next "event" of the day....so I sponge bathed & put on perfume.
This AM I showered, used the blow dryer, and flat iron. It just doesn't look as good as it did when the beautician did it. Oh well. That's just not my gift I guess! Noone around to take my pic---so I just don't think it's gonna happen girls!
I'm hoping to have NRG tonight when I get home to workout (at 530). I work in town today. Urgh. I really need a day "OFF" to just hang at home. I enrolled in a Bible Study & I'm already 2 days behind & feel pressured. Oh well.
Hello to all you beautiful posters, AWOLers & lurkers. Have a great day!!!!

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome! We are TTC our first and we are very excited! Next month will have been a year since I stopped the Depo shot so it took quite a while for my body to get back to normal. We are trying not to get too excited though because I know it may take a few tries until it happens but it won't be for my lack of trying!!

Shell, welcome to forum. Just went back to read yesterdays posts---you're from Canada, eh? I live right along the Minnesota/Canada border---even drive thru Canada on my way to work in the winter (thru customs twice)!!
I had genetics counseling with baby #2 b/c we had a Level 2 u/s due to "increase risk" of downsyndrome with a triple test (now a quad test). I'd recommend to any woman to decline that test (but that's another story). Anyway, it's just a bunch of ?s that ask about your paternal & maternal medical history. i.e.... has anyone in your family had down's syndrome, has anyone your immediate family had cystic fibrosis? Any aunts, uncles, siblings, sibling's children, (blah blah blah) had diabetes? Stuff like that. Really benign.
Oh, I"m 35 years "young" as well (although currently not pg). There are many elderly women like us on this forum.

Melanie, Hair styling isn't my forte either - which is why I stick to long & plain!
Sweetpea - NIce to see you again today! There's a book called Taking Charge of Your Fertility (by Toni Wesschler (sp?)) that will teach a lot about TTC.
Isabel is being such a helper this AM!! So nice! We're getting so much done!!

Good morning everyone!! Or should i say good week since i've been missing.
Sorry to cause a concern, i havent gone anywhere just havent checked in at all. Work had me real swamped so i could only pop in for a few seconds and when i got home i didnt want to look at the computer.
ive tried to keep up with everyone but its too hard on my brain right now!!
Kate, i'm sorry to hear about your little rescue kitty. We just arrested a bunch of people here for running a fake rescue - its been all over the news. They went around to shelters and claimed to be a rescue organization, took the animals, sold the ones they could for money, then the ones they didnt sell they starved to death. the house was a mess from what i heard as they had over 100 animals, mostly cats and dogs. they are all emancipatied, covered in feces and ticks and fleas. they even found dead animals in the freezer. im sorry, this is realyl disturbing. i was sooo upset about readng that, as animals cant talk and depend on their humans for their care and well being. I gave my dogs extra hugs last nite after reading that story. ugh...luckily the last person turned herself in.
anyway, that was quite a tangent huh?
welcome to the newcomers! i'll introduce myself - my name is jen and i'm 28, im a police officer in florida, married for a little over a year and pregnant with my first baby. I am about 19 weeks currently and i'm due in feb. I found out last week its a girl!
speaking of babies, and things...i decided to keep the free crib from my dad. i may have said this already . its a ragazzi which i read is expensive and top of the line. Since it cost me $0, that makes it even better. plus its sturdy, white and nice looking. I sold the other one last nite for $100, which is what i paid for it so i broke even at least.
I also changed everything over to girl stuff and will return the bedding (noah's ark) that is nuetral. i bought the jungle luv set from babies r us. its got cute little animals and is full of pinks and yellows. its just adorable. i'm sure i'll change my mind again!
not much else is new, im worried about my dogs and found out my little meatball is well over due and i've been stressing because moey is so tight. can you ebelieve we have to pay our HOA $800 EVERY THREE MONTHS??? and they dont let u do monthly payments, its one lump sum four times a year. Its sooo hard, as my husband has no money from child support and we dont make much as officers so i'm really struggling right now. With a baby on the way its hard. i cant even afford to buy myself maternity clothes right now Sorry for the sob story. I feel like an awful dog mom as my puppies need their updates I think a cheap place is coming to petco to vaccinate this weekend for about an hour. Maybe i can try that. Altho it'll be over 200 for both, which is still a lot, but its cheaper than the vet without the extra fees etc...
LOL this post is long, i guess i'm making up for a week of not posting! I know that it was not like me, sorry to worry everyone. Im touched you thought of me and remembered me
Susan, good memory - my shower is in October. I go to ct on the 8th and finalyl see my mom. now that im showing i wonder if it'll be odd for her to see her daughter preggers! the shower is that saturday. so far only like 3 peopls rsvp's and noone purchase danything off my babies r us registry except my mom oh well, cant be greedy right? lol. Im really looking forward to seeing my mom. I just wish we lived closer, we are really missing out on the experience together. oh well, thats what i get for moving as far south as possible..
working out has been a success this week except last nite and tonite. dh is working so i never exercise in teh evenings after work when he is not at home.
ok..better get back to work. hope you are all doing ewll, sorry for the complete lack of personals.

Jen, Glad to hear from you!!!! That's awful about the pets! How can people be so heartless?? Re your shower: some people are just really lame RSVPers! I'm sure even if they don't shop from the registry you'll get lots of great stuff! Sorry for all the woes lately for you - just think about holding that baby!
Sweetpea, ITA of the comment about not knowing our bodies. I was so thnakful for that book when I found it! I must admit tho, It took me a while to get the guts to check cervical position!!!

Good morning ladies,
Oh my god, you are chatty this morning. Well, I got a good night sleep and Heidi is doing ok. She got a little bit of a runny nose but is doing well. I gave her some medication last night before bed and finally got her a new sleepsack so she was nice and cozy and slept very well, woohoo.
Well, it's Thursday and still no TM mmh. Normally I start Monday or Tuesday. This is just our first month trying which actually is the month there my Dr. doesn't want me TTC plus I didn't get back from Germany til after I ovulated, but hey I might have been off and ..... I was really crampy last Tuesday which is unusual as well....
DH and I finally fixed my TM last night, so I am really excited and my workout will be on the TM for sure, yeah!!!
Ok, I will try to catch up with personals a little bit later.

Hi ladies!
Jen2--Glad you're back!! We were worried about you!
Kate--Have a fun uneventful day!!
Susan--Glad to see you again!! Hope everything is going well! Don't disappear again!
Melanie--When are you going to post a picture?? Btw, I'll be 35 in January, so yes, I'm a member of the "elderly" club here too. LOL!
Sweatpea--Good luck with TTC. Remember, trying is/should be the FUN part!
Kristine--I'm crossing my fingers that AF doesn't come!!!
-------
Well, I took Henry to preschool this a.m. and hopefully he won't cry today. Crossing my fingers. I stopped at the grocery store and bought some more groceries for my mom to feed the kiddos while I'm in the hospital. Man, are they going to be spoiled (just as they should). I bought those refrigerated Halloween slice-n-bake cookies for them to make with her, m&ms for them to eat with their popcorn when she needs to park them in front of the TV for "movie" time so she can rest, pillsbury cinnamon rolls for them to bake in the mornings. Do you know why they say that the way to a man's heart is through is stomach? It's because they had mothers like me! I bought DH a "My Three Sons" T-shirt online this morning with the original television series logo (the shoes) on it. SOOOO cute. I'm planning on sending a photo of him with the boys out with our announcements to his friends and family. They'll get a kick out of that. I just got finished spraying the bonus room/playroom floor with carpet spray and scrubbing it. When it dries I'll vacuum, but in the meantime, I'm going to dust and do laundry. NESTING!!!!!!!!! I keep having stupid contractions when I try to work, though, so I keep having to sit and rest. Tomorrow I go to the doc, and I want the house to be ready, "just in case" she checks me in. Oh, tonight is teacher conference too. SO MUCH to remember!!! I'm having to write myself notes because my brain cells are FRIED. I'll be in the middle of a thought and completely forget what I was saying. This has happened each night when I try to talk to DH. I better have this baby soon, or I'll start drooling and falling down. I'm becoming an idiot. OK, back to work! Sorry to ramble. I'm a ball of nervous energy today!!!

AF came this afternoon full blast. Thus no workout today. My back, legs, chest & everything else is sore for the first couple days of AF. It makes it difficult to do anything. ...especially stand on my feet for 10 hours without a break (but many trips to bathroom). *sigh* such the life of a woman....
Maybe I"ll feel stronger tomorrow...

Melanie- I thought I was the only one whose whole body hurt when AF was here. The first few days the backs of my legs and calves cramp so bad I can't work out my lower body. Then it moves to my neck and I have headaches for three or four days. I feel your pain girl and I'm sorry!
