I am training for my first marathon so PiYo has been a great addition. I think it is a great program coupled with another program. I love it with my running.

I make sure to eat at least 1800 calories a day. I workout like I normally would doing Zumba, Turbo Jam and C25K. WE have a group on here called STILL Fit and Fabulous...After BABY! Let me know if you want an invite:)

Hi guys:0) Just want to give you a few of the things that have been life savers for us. For Breastfeeding: -First off use the nurses and lactation consultants at the hospital. They are awesome and each can give you different tips. I also had a private session at home a week later to weigh her and see how much milk she was…

Hi all you fit and fabulous moms! Wow this new baby stuff really changes your life, haha. I can't believe how well I am functioning with such little sleep. My poor husband is having a harder time. Good thing he's not the one that has to breastfeed her every 2 hours around the clock. I didn't realize breastfeeding was so…

Bump! Moving over to the other board but still want to keep updated with you all. Happy New Year!!! Hannah Marie Born December 26, 2011 @ 12:53am at 41 Weeks 8 lbs 4 oz, 20.5 inches ~Nichole Congratulations ElizabethJ17! I'm jealous of your natural birth. I was the opposite. I wanted a totally natural birth but ended up in…

Just wanted to update everyone. Hannah was born at 12:53am December 26 weighing 8lbs 5oz and 20.5 inches tall. We are doing great and are just adjusting to our new life. Updates to come soon if this baby ever stops eating. I feel like a milk factory. Hannah’s Birth Story Hannah’s original estimated due date was December…

Seriously annoyed right now. I specifically tell my parents not to come until we call them. I get a message this morning that they are already half way here (8.5 hour drive). I don't want any visitors until we have the baby. I specifically told them this. I have no idea when she will arrive so yes it is a little…

Hey guys I really need to catch up and I'm sorry that I haven't but I just wanted to give you all an update. I am currently 40W2D so I had to go in for my NST and U/S. The non stress test (NST) is were they check her heart beat, movements and my contractions for 20 minutes. Which I actually found very interesting. I had to…

Today is my estimated due date, no baby yet....

In the beginning it is a lot of gas and bloat. One day it will go down and you will worry that something is wrong and then all of a sudden you will really be showing:0) It's completely normal.

Thanks guys for all the kind words and support. We plan to do lots of walking this weekend along with other natural methods to help induce labor. Today is my last day of work for 12 weeks, wohoo! I just need the baby now:0) Good news is that my midwife told me yesterday that her head is engaged which should help the…

Quick check in. Had my 39 week appointment. I'm only 0.5cm dilated. My midwife is betting I'll be about a week late. I figured this would happen. So I could have a Christmas baby which I don't really want but healthy baby is the most important thing. I'm scheduled for my NST and U/S on Wednesday to determine if she is late…

When in January does he want to go? Would you go with him? Usually not best to travel after 35 weeks. Best part about this is that he called to ask you if it is all right so obviously he had an idea. He just did not like the answer.

Good morning ladies. I have finally reached the point were I am so done being pregnant. I'm wearing my husbands shirt today as even some of my maternity shirts are too short. I am super tired and am so done with work. I know the end is near but I feel like it will never come. Well I just wanted to say a quick hello. Sorry…

Amazing transformations! Love them, keep it up!

babeed854 your nursery is adorable! Well I'm 39 weeks today. This is my last week of work before my 12 week maternity leave. Hannah is due Dec 19 which is next Monday. I have no idea when she will actually be here. I get a pelvis check on Thursday. I have been dealing with some hip pain and some really painful gas. Not…

Hi Guys, happy Friday. I've been reading everyone's post but just have not found the motivation to comment. A quick update: I'm doing pretty good. My stomach is huge. We have been doing a birth and baby class at the hospital and we did our tour last night. The woman at the front desk asked me when I was coming to visit and…

Buy cheap bras for now. I bought cheap non wired bras at Target.

Try not to eat a lot of carbs and sugary items before your test. Stick to more protein. Also drink lots of water to help flush your system.

Dang ladies, you miss a couple days and look how far behind you get:0) I loved reading everyone's answers to the questions. I also love the idea of having a running list of when everyone is due. Looks like I am the first due next. It's pretty crazy. I'm 38 weeks today. I'm feeling really good and am not dealing with…

Hopefully I'll be joining you guys this month. Hannah's due Dec 19th:0) Can't wait!

kristy_estes2 I am so sorry to hear the bad news. Take care of yourself! ((Hugs))

How is it Monday already?! Booo, hehe. Although I am happy that today marks my 37th week and means I am full term, wohoo! I'm feeling good just starting to get really tired again. I did a Gobble Zumba (75 minutes with 3 different instructors) on Friday which was a lot of fun. I plan to go to Zumba Tuesday and Wednesday of…

36 weeks and 1 day -- 35 lbs weight gain - have been maintaining all week and my midwife said towards the end I may even lose some pounds. Although I think I am starting to retain water as my feet are a little swollen but my blood pressure is good. Before being pregnant I was at my goal weight and had decided to try to…
