ladeb - I learned to knit earlier this month. I'm currently about 9 inches into a scarf....I've got a ways to go! I started with 20 stitches and now I have 25....hmm....not quite sure how that happened, but I have more rows with 25 than 20, so I'm not going back down! The yarn seems to unravel a bit. Do you think it's possible that I created stitches by using one of the "ravels"? Or is there another way I might have done that. i'm just curious for future knitting projects.
Julie - you have to realize that we are likely going to throw you an online MFP shower. Just realize something is happening!
Checking in for today
Cals - Over by 10, but I think that's OK.
Water - 72 oz
Exercise - Nada
Proud - I didn't snack on the available snacks tonight at a meeting. Well, I had like 10 M&Ms, but compared to the plethora of snack size chips, that's pretty good!0 -
Yay Julie,
Girls are great My girls are 9,13,17 and I love having them!!!! 0 -
Julie: Congrats! I'm so happy you were able to find out given the early ultrasound. When your due date gets closer, you should send me your address because I'd love to send your little girl a gift. I don't have any little girls to buy for, so it would be fun!
Cris: Great job on sticking with C25k even though you didn't feel like it. That tells me that you're going to be fine. The food is the hardest part for all of us, so I'm proud of you for sticking with the exercise.
So, last night I remembered why I was starting to actually enjoy running. I did a 5k on my treadmill last night, running 1.1, walking .9 and then running 1.1. I finished in 41 minutes, but had another 14 minutes of warm up and cool down time. I'm feeling less stressed about Saturday's 5k and I should be able to run at least 2/3 of it, providing the road conditions aren't too icy. Last night, I was just in this zone where I focused on my breathing and the muscles in my quads. It was kind of amazing and I felt so refreshed afterward, which seems weird...must be the "runner's high." I slept like a rock and woke up WAY before my alarm, though I didn't get out of bed until my usual time. The cat was comfy snuggling with me.
Checking in for yesterday:
Points: Slightly over
Water: 41.8 oz.
Exercise: 55 minutes on the treadmill
Proud: That I felt great after running!0 -
I had that pain in my side while I was running...I think its when you are not properly hydrated that it occurs right? I def didn get all my water in yesterday and boy did I feel it on that run! I slept like a rock and passed out around 9pm but had trouble getting out of bed this morning it was so cozy and my body was like nooo I like it here dont get up hjahaha
Julie I wanna send you girlie stuff too! We are TOTALLY having an online baby shower!!!0 -
Aw, you guys are so sweet. :flowerforyou: I'm straight up SO EXCITED about a girl. I wanted a boy so much up until a couple months ago & was kind of scared at the thought of having a girl but since I've been pretty convinced I'm having a girl for the last month or so, I've gotten myself really excited about it. To be honest, I may have ended up disappointed if she had been a boy. :laugh:
Everyone talking about running makes me want to run again. Maybe I could safely build myself up to some short jogs. I really need to get moving.
Had the 2nd interview this morning. I was told they're considering me and another applicant. I was also point blank told if I took the job I'd be walking into a huge mess. :indifferent: I'm pretty used to accepting jobs & walking into huge messes but how worried she was telling me about it made me feel a lot more confident requesting the amount of money I did. :laugh:
So now I wait. Said they're calling references & then they'll make a decision. Then they'll call the person to let them know they're going to call their supervisor. So I don't have to have a totally uncomfortable conversation with my supervisor unless I know they're offering me the job.0 -
I second the online baby shower!! :flowerforyou: :drinker: I'd love to actually be able to buy some girly clothes! Whenever I buy for my niece they always ask how old the little boy is..yeah..SHE'S 7! :laugh:
Julie-At least they told you that you would be walking into a mess! Crossing my fingers for you!0 -
I swear girls have like 20 aisles at the store (toy and clothes) and boys get like 2.....
Its hard to shop for a boy! Its usually cars/trucks, animals, and super heroes...My baby dresses mostly in sports themed stuff, mainly because I am convinved he's going to be drafted by the pittsburgh steelers hahaha and he should dress appropriately so that I have cute pics to show when he is drafted (yes I am being totally serious, I am this insane)0 -

hahahahaha...nice Cris. I love it!! When he gets drafted I can say "HEY I know that kid! Sort of!"0 -

Cris, you nearly made soda come through my nose. :laugh:
I'm not very good at being girly at all. I spent my childhood outside making mud pies & climbing trees & riding my bike. I was constantly in trouble for being covered in dirt and/or injuring myself. :laugh: I think what made me excited about a girl is the realization that it doesn't make any difference if she's a girl. She's pretty much the same kid she'd be if she were a boy and I can treat her the same. :laugh: Except that I LOVE tacky over the top girly stuff which I couldn't do with a boy. Yes, my little girl will be the baby dressed in the purple polka dot polyester dress that looks like it should've been worn to a prom in the 1980s with a huge bow on the top of her head. I'm serious, I saw this dress about a month ago at Marshall's and it's totally the first thing I'm buying her (assuming they still have it, which I'm sure they do because it was so awesomely hideous). Little blonde pig-tails and silly dresses & daddy completely wrapped around her finger.

Cris: That's hilarious! I love it!
Julie: It's good you won't even have to bring it up with your supervisor unless you're going to be offered the job. Whew! Oh, and Runner's World always has articles about women who run while pregnant...some even run marathons (cuz they're crazy!).0 -

Julie I was the same kinda girl. Only lately am I finding my "girlyness". I love the dress! Sounds awesome! haha
Heather-The dallas 3 day is November 4-6. But you can still come to Dallas anytime!0 -
Completely off suggest from your post above but I had to give my opinion that I absolutely love the name Maizie (spelling sorry) cow name or not its so cute.I have a little girl in my Sunday School class and her name is Maizie Grace.Good luck with the job I hope you get it!!Aw, you guys are so sweet. :flowerforyou: I'm straight up SO EXCITED about a girl.

By the way -My best friend runs all the time and she ran all through both of her pregnancies.She ran daily 5-6 miles up until she was 36 weeks and went into labor at 38 weeks with both of her babies.Just make sure its ok with your doc and keep well hydrated while doing it.Course my best friend is a freak of nature and never looks pregnant when she is. She didn't have to wear maternity clothes until she was 7 1/2 months pregnant and complained she had to wear size 4's in maternity clothes.Me on the other hand looked like a WHALE with both of my pregnancies.I am hoping when I do get pregnant again I will be small and have a cute baby bump.Anyways once she gave birth she was back into size 2's BLAH0 -
I am a total tomboy and dont know wth i would have done with a girl....I want another boy the next time (hopefully right after the wedding!) but Bobby and everyone else are pretty set on a girl...whatever Im the mom and I'll "bake" wahtever I want! ahahaha
PS- The first thing I did when I found out I was pregnant ( no joke) was buy the baby a steelers outfit. ....I figured boy or girl they can show team spirit....man now I gotta post the picture hes the most adorable steelers fan ever!!!!
damn it Julie ur giving me baby fever!0 -
damn it Julie ur giving me baby fever!
Keep your baby fever on your side of the country...don't send any of that down here. :laugh:0 -
Julie - Congrats!! on the baby girl. I have to say i wanted girls with both of mine. I grew up with all girls, not that i was real girly but i felt like i have no clue on what to do with a boy. Of course if i had a boy i would of loved him regardless.
SOrry i have been mia , had a rough weekend (eating and exercise wise) but great weekend as they were hauling but on the house...which has me even more stressed than ever...the $$ situation with the house has me soo freaked out.0 -
Julie i was laughing so hard about the outfits. My first daughter I use to love to dress her all up like that. It caused so much marital confilict to this day it is a touchy subject. I had overalls for her (90's they were in style) The bib of the overalls was a fuzzy bear face and the shirt that went underneath was red with white polka dots. The one that really made the dh mad was this red/white/blue polka dotted ruffley mess I use to put on her. I am going to post a pic of it for laughs. I don't think I know where any pics with the crazy overall are.0

Julie, little girls are super fun. My girls are 4 1/2 and 2 1/2, and they are so amazing. Of course...ask me again when they are both teenagers. :laugh:
They are awesome! I have two one just turned 18 and the other is almost 20. However, the teenage years were not so much fun. Just remain consistent. Remind them you are their mother first, and their friend second. They have don't have to like you and you probably won't like them but if you are a good mother, and keep communicating with them and remind them of your expections, then one day you will realize you have become friends. They came around at about age 15 1/2 - 16 and we are all great friends... NOW. Didn't think it was ever going to happen though. Loving every minute of it.0 -
my baby and her ruffled mess just about 18 years ago. (that's me holding her)

HUGE PICTURE< Why does it come up so big0
-
Jess: I'm with you. Don't be sending any baby fever to Minnesota, either! I'm getting my money's worth out of this IUD, so I'm keeping it for five years!
Julie: The dress you described sounds awesome! There are some things about the 80s that truly were awesome. Too bad I wasn't old enough to go all out in the fashion of the day...I only had the puffy bangs, crimped side ponytail and the dresses with the shorts attached. I totally rocked that look at the roller rink.0 -
Momma, you are so pretty! And that outfit is amazing! :laugh:
Julie, glad to hear they are being up front about the job. Better to have a clear idea of what you're getting into.
Is it really just Tuesday???0 -
