  • Good for you two for getting back into it this early after giving birth, and congratulations on your babies! I'm a mom of two and just started running/ lumbering again in January, but my "baby" is 14 months! I was a complete zombie for the first year and crashed out rather than worked out whenever I had a spare 15 min.…
  • My youngest (and last) is starting to wean. Rather than get misty over closing this chapter of motherhood, my first thought was, "Hells, no, you can't stop nursing - mama wants those extra 250 calories each day!"
  • Man... reading this, I feel so very fortunate to be in Canada! I will be taking a full year. My old boss worked until 5pm Friday and went into labour before bed that night. I didn't like the sounds of that... so I left last time at 38 weeks and was 2 weeks late - ack! Let's just say my house was very clean. Even so, my…
  • Cute suit! I wore a regular, underwire tankini one size up from my pre-preg weight and just folded up the torso tank material as I got bigger, so there was kind of a big band just below my bust line and the belly skin was exposed. I was 7-8 months pregnant in the summer, so I figured I'd just be out & proud, so to speak!
  • I think you've got a good game plan. Short visits w/ people you're comfortable with = good. Long visits from anyone other than the dad = bad. My parents came from out of town and were there the first day, but it was a 'happy' accident -- I was induced & in labour for 26 hrs b/f an emergency c-section. They decided to start…
  • Hello - just had my dating ultrasound today and it puts me at 7 weeks, 4 days... so due Nov 23. This will be my second child - DD is 2 1/2. I am not as fit as I was at the start of my first pregnancy, and for the first time in my life, I feel like 37 is old! Hopefully I'll perk up once I get past the first trimester,…
  • Bookmarking for later. Nom.
  • Bookmarking. Other than chili (meat or veg versions), the crock pot recipes I've used in the recent past are pretty high cal (think chicken, a brick of cream cheese & chipotles in adobo sauce) or use beef/ pork. If I can find some good chicken recipies tonight, I'll come back & post them.
  • One fun-sized Smarties and half a bag of fun-sized Hawkins Cheezies. Now I just have to navigate all the leftovers that co-workers brought to the office. Jerks. :) We had no candy left over at our house. We went with the honour system and left it all out in a bowl on the front steps while we took our tiny daughter…
