Happy Tuesday everyone! Took and passed my test yesterday! Been a little busy today. My oldest daughter is at home sick and found out she has mono. She's feeling okay, but I've been preoccupied taking care of her and the little one. Still got a 30 min. walk in and did some light housework. Hope you are all having a good…

Hello everyone. Hope you're enjoying your weekend. Beautiful weather here in NC. Doing well with eating, just seem hungry all the time! Need to find filling, low cal/fat foods instead of using up a lot of calories/fat at once. Exercise still okay - hard to get in with the baby. Husband still working about 12-16 hours a…

Good Morning!! I hope you are all doing well. Sending happy thoughts your way for a great day! Keep up the hard work everyone...

Happy Tuesday, everyone! Hope you are all off to a great start. I am doing well. Hot weather here in NC, but beautiful. Makes me want to walk, walk, walk. If only the baby wanted to walk as much as I do. Getting some exercise in...unfortunately not what I want, but I have to make do with my situation. Also, I am 6 1/2…

Just wanted to make sure you're doing okay. Everyone has bad/busy weeks. Thanks for all you do!

By the way, when do you guys weigh in? Do you message the weights to someone? Thanks!!:flowerforyou:

Thanks for the warm welcome! Hope everyone has a great Monday. I had to go into work for a little while today and left the baby with my neighbor/friend. I hated it!! I don't know what I'll do when I go back to work. Off to clean house and hope to get a long walk in with the kids this afternoon, especially since I had a…

I got pregnant within three months of taking out Mirena. I hated it. It was painful. I think it's because my cervix is shaped weird. I am on the depo shot. I don't gain weight from it.

Hello everyone! My name is Christy and Tammy (tamelab) and I were in a group together. I had stopped posting for a while because I was pregnant. The weight gain was necessary, but a little depressing at times. Anyway, I had my daughter on August 26th and wanted to get back into the group and posting. However, the group…

I was wondering the same thing...I come back and everyone disappears

Hey everyone!! See a lot of new names and faces and a few I remember... So, I see everyone has been busy and seems to be doing well. I had my baby on August 26 and I am ready to rejoin the group! The baby is great. She was 8 pounds, 6 ounces and 22 inches long. Her name is Kenza Elise. I have one month left on maternity…

I think a digital frame would be a good gift. They even make some that are like a digital scrapbook so that dad can keep track of his little one growing up without doing the traditional scrapbooking - usually mom's area. He could even take it to work or with him if he traveled. You could go ahead and upload music and…

Challenge Question Response: We wanted to know, but babies don't always cooperate on ultrasound day. I only wanted to know if they were sure...no guessing to appease us! I kind of thought this one was a boy, but they are telling us it's a girl. I think it's great to be surprised, but I wouldn't be able to go that long…

Hello everyone!! Just checking in...How is everyone doing? I am now 26 1/2 weeks pregnant with a little girl. We are very excited. Not too thrilled with the 21 pounds I've gained, but proud it's no where near to the 60 I ended up with the first time around. Hope you are all doing well. Keep up the good work. Look for me to…

Hello everyone! I have enjoyed reading your posts. Congrats to all the mommies to be and good luck to those pursuing it! My name is Christy and I am now 26 1/2 weeks pregnant with a little girl. My pre-pregnancy weight was around 168 and now I am at 189. Not too excited about the amount of weight gain, but I knew it was…

Jack-I sure hope your week gets better. I am so sorry for your little boy...heartbreak is no fun at any age. I am praying for your father in law. Keep your chin up.:flowerforyou:

Hello everyone! Glad to see you are doing well. I went to the doctor today and saw my little one on the monitor and listened to the heartbeat. I am 91/2 weeks now and starting to show already! I have gained about 5 pounds, but am holding steady at 168 for the last 2 weeks. I think my body was shocked going from about 1000…

Hey guys! I know I've been MIA lately. I am feeling so tired and kind of depressed. No motivation to exercise and my appetite is unreal. I am now 9 weeks pregnant and have my first appt on Friday. Hope everything goes well. I am trying to find a balance b/w planning a wedding, planning for a baby, teaching, and attending…

Hey everyone. Thanks for the congrats. Amanda, I am due August 23rd - 2 days before school starts for the next year! I guess I get an extended vacation, huh? I hope everyone has a great week. 2010 is almost here!

Merry Christmas Everyone!! Hope you are enjoying yourselves...I have been not so good the past couple of days. We went out to lunch (Mexican) and I overdid it yesterday. I've had a few sweets too. But no soft drinks. I could've been worse I guess. I am starting tomorrow off brand new. I am sure I've gained a couple of…

Hey everyone. I am on Day 1 of my 14 day vacation. One of the perks of being a teacher :tongue: Had a lot going on lately. I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday season. My goals: I plan to continue to walk and do the elliptical and light stretching/yoga five days per week. I plan to eat more protein (I stopped eating…

Hello everyone! Allison - Your job sounds very interesting. My fiance is from North Africa and speaks five languages. I am trying to learn Berber which is what his family mostly speaks (in addition to French and Arabic mixed in). My class is actually doing a Christmas Around the World project next week. And Santa is coming…

Just a quick run by before my daughter has my head for keeping her off her "shopping" experience too long. I hope you are all doing well. I am glad to hear of all the success and love the new pic Amanda. I am proud of the changes I am reading about. As a side note - I feel super supported even though I can't check in as…

Hello everyone. I am watching The Biggest Loser Finale! I have been sooo sick the past three days. I haven't exercised and have been not eating or drinking consistently. I had two migraines this week and had to get shots and it totally drained me. Then I woke up at 3:30 this morning throwing up with severe stomach pains. I…

Oh my...I hope you are feeling better. Don't feel too embarassed...I am sure it happens more often than you think. Just keep up the hard work.

So, I'm still here. I had a much better day - but no so much food wise. I have got to go to the grocery store and cut down on processed food. I eat a lot of easy to fix stuff for lunch and sometimes supper and I know it is full of sodium. Also, I am a Diet Sunkist fanatic and I am trying to cut it out as well. I hope you…

Everyone - including myself - sounds like you're having some challenges this week. I hope that Friday finds you in better spirits and that you take some time for yourself. Amanda and Tam - thanks for the encouragement. I know that my job is not one some would pick but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my kids and can't imagine doing…
