Blogilates!!

I agree that it's part of being a woman and being in transition. I felt the same thing and it really hit me when my now 19 mo old son climbed onto his trike seat and started riding around the house. I thought- how did he grow up so fast?! I look at his growth chart and can't believe how tall he is too. Luckily he's a…

172 @ 5' 7"

Just try to do your best and fit it in whenever you can! I have been back to work for a while and am STILL trying to figure out a workout routine. There's no way I can wake up to workout and then when I get home I would much rather spend the time with my son and then when he's asleep I enjoy quality time with my hubby.…

My 5 year old niece saw me changing and said "Tita, you have a big stomach. It looks like you are having another baby!". I had my son almost a year ago and had been in denial about gaining weight again (I had already lost my pregnancy weight but then started gaining once I went back to work). Definitely a slap in the face!…

My son will be 1 year old next month and I am still trying to lose the baby weight. I was able to get most of it off within the first 5 months but then I went back to work and the weight slowly crept back in. I gained 12 lbs in the last 6 months- boo!! I belong to a great group of super-supportive mommas "Post-Partum…

Awesome! I just forwarded this to some girlfriends. Thanks for sharing! I SUPPORT YOU!! =)

We had the same problem with my son so we switched at around 6 months from the Chicco KeyFit to their new convertible seat Chicco NextFit. We use it in our Ford F150 and my commuter Honda Accord with no problems. Most convertible seats are bulky so the best thing to do is go down to your local baby store and try them in…

HAHA- I likey too! I've learned not to ask what everyone else does anymore cuz the advice will drive me insane! Each child is different and we are all doing the best we can. Thanks for the laugh! :drinker:

Oh, I never thought to ask to try it in our car! Will do!

Hey! I'm 32 and have a 7 month old. We can do this! =)

I've been in an Escape and the back is bigger than my Accord. Def need to check out the huge factor. =)

I was looking at Graco's too- great reviews and affordable.

@MrsCarter- I was thinking the same thing! I commute in a Honda Accord so I wasn't sure it would be big enough for the seat. @RBXChas- You have such great input! =) Good footnote too- I had to look at the manual for the height restriction because my son was looking large in the infant carrier even though he is nowhere near…

THANK YOU!! I heard a lot of good things about the Britax seats but not sure about which model. I have one saved to my Amazon wish list but IDK if its the Boulevard. I will def be on the lookout for my BBRU coupon in the mail. =)

Haha- I KNOW!! Until 2 is a long time!

Ok, ok- I'll FINALLY start. I've been putting it off for almost 2 months and now I only have 44 days until my goal day. EEK! :embarassed:

So sorry! The ladies have already given you great advice and I agree with them. *hugs* to you during this time and feel free to vent! :flowerforyou:

*LIKE* =)

YES- me please! I was never that large to begin with but after all the weight gain/loss and bf''g (even though they say bf'g has nothing to do with deflation, I think it does!), my boobs are soo deflated! I always told my hubby I would get a boob job even before we had our son and he was totally against it but now he sees…

Congrats on your LO! This is a great group for support. Feel free to add! :drinker:

Yay! I have the AngelCare with the sensor pads but no video monitor. I personally didn't want the video because I knew that I would stare at it too much and not sleep. The sensor pads are awesome and give me peace of mind. I love waking up to my 6 month old son talking (well, babbling) to himself in the crib. =)

Congrats on your LO! I have a September baby boy and found the ladies on here to be super supportive. Welcome! :drinker:

Congrats on the LO! You've come to the right place for support. =)

Don't worry, whatever time you can get in during the day is good. A few minutes throughout the day adds up. =) I'm with everyone else- my son hated it in the beginning and then liked it when he was able to roll over.

Sorry, my LO never took a pacifier either so I can't really comment on them but they look cool! LOL I say just buy it and see if your LO will take it. They also have teethers that vibrate so that might be another option if you are trying to stay away from any meds. Good luck mama!

I've been the same way since I went back to work- it's been 2 months! LOL I only recently found my sneakers under my desk at work and have been going on walks during my break but that is the only exercise I've been doing. Just try to do your best and keep on logging. You'll eventually find the right motivation and then…

Diddo on what ^^^^Pepper^^^ said!

...I have procrastinated and complained for far too long. I did it before and can do it now...only better! =)

@ProudNavyWife- we just started using the Huggies Overnites cuz LO was leaking through the regular ones when he slept through the night. I was doing laundry all the time cuz of the soiled sleepers and crib bedding. But since using the overnites- NO LEAKS! These diapers can hold ALOT. Huggies was the only overnites that had…
