3babybeans, my sister just had a baby boy in September and I too think about another baby. I sometimes get the baby blues and wonder why we stopped at three. My youngest disability is not heredity, just random, but I don't think I could do it again. Babies are the greatest though aren't they?
Unfortunately they grow up to be bickering children, at least in my house right now. :ohwell:0 -
Hey, Supermom! Give that baby some kisses from me! I'm having the "why did we stop at 3" blues at the moment. LOL I'll get over it, though, I'm sure!
What?! Here you were shocked when I said we wanted a 4th:laugh:0 -

I am fairly new to this site. I am a stay at home mom, and I also babysit two little boys. I don't use any workout videos as of right now but I do want to get one. I have the wii fit, which I would like to start doing more, but lately I have felt so blah that I just don't have the energy to do it. Today I did the wii fit, but only for 19 minutes. I tend to get this way every month at this time only because AF is due to arrive. Im trying to find healthy dinners to make that not only I will like, but my kids also. I drink alot of water throughout the day, anywhere from 3-5 litres. I use a pedometer everyday because my goal is to do atleast 10,000 steps a day. I wish I was able to get to the gym, but I don't have time (I babysit usually from 9am-930pm) and right now we only have one vehicle cause my battery for the car is dead from the cold.0

Hello Mommies :flowerforyou:
I have been MIA for the holidays but I'm back now. :bigsmile: I weighed in yesterday and I gained .4 pounds over the holidays but eh, not a big deal.
Quick life update: DH was laid off mid Dec so he's home all the time and its driving me nuts. I am now a WAHM {work at home mommy} but we aren't bringing in enough to make bills. Yay savings!! My little man refuses to walk. He CAN, he simply won't. If its a span of more than 2 feet he will drop and crawl. I don't get it. He does the same thing with talking, he CAN say the word he is just so obstinate when we try to make him say it. :laugh: I wasn't sure what to tell the doctor when we went in for his checkup and he quizzed me about Wesley's milestones. He CAN do a lot of things, he just chooses not to. Little bugger, DH says he gets it from me.
I have a bag of baked cheetos in front of me from last night and I'm pretty sure I just ate a whole serving BEFORE breakfast. :explode: Just pushed the bag away, NO MORE.
Lenece and Daniella I hope you both find your energy today. :flowerforyou:
Which reminds me! I got my orthotics finally and I ran like a madman on the treadmill yesterday. I was really depressed trying to do the C25K because I could never complete Week 1 {or even walk fast for more than 15 minutes}. But yesterday I did it! And the doctor said this was probably a lifelong problem due to my insanely high arches. That means I've always been able to do more. I just thought I was out of shape. Dumb feet.

New to the site, I have a 3 year old boy and an 11 month old who get's up every 1-2 hours at night still. She is not feeling good right now so I am completely sleep deprived and exhausted. HOwever, had a bad day yesterday and I did eat too many calories but I ate healthy calories like an orange and such instead of bingeing on sugar, which would have been the norm for me. I'm giving myself a few weeks to get used to the new eating habits before I dive into the excersize, but I look forward to push-up challenges and sit-up challenges in the future.0

DaniellaAnn, you are doing pretty good if you babysit all day and manage to get our steps in and a little excersize, plus drink that much water. I always have trouble drinking lots of water in the winter, inthe summer I can drink litres or gallons. We have a wii fit which my husband purchased but I have yet to try it out.0
