10 lbs in a month!

*sigh*

I can promise that there is nothing worse than being 8 months pregnant over the holidays. Not only do I have to worry about the normal weight that I'm gaining, there is Christmas to be factored in too.

And the results weren't pretty.

I'm up 9.2 lbs since my 32 week weigh-in and 38 lbs overall. My goal for this pregnancy was to gain between 20 and 34 lbs total (although the official recommendation is 15-25 since I started overweight.) Of course, I haven't really worked out in a couple o… Continue

Interesting Newscast

One of my good friends made the news! She's an IFBB Pro and just got back from competing in Italy, so I thought I would share:

Marathon Blues

I'm supposed to be running the Marine Corps Marathon right now.

I have a feeling I'm going to be in a funk for the rest of the day. =(

Yikes, what happened to me?

Seven days, no gym. Bedrest really sucks. That being said, I'm at least I'm still tracking my intake. Last week was really good. I averaged 2150 calories a day. This week... well, I'll save you from having to see all the terrible things I've been eating, but I'm averaging 3500 calories. Yikes!

Baby Names... need some opinions

Another off-topic post!

So, the hubby and I need some help and I need that help from you! We are keeping our baby's name a secret from all of our family/friends, but it also means we don't get a lot of feedback. We've picked out our first name, but we've been stuck on a middle name for months.

Here are the choices:

A couple of notes...
-Leigh is my best friend's name, but I'm worried that Harper… Continue

Yay, Sam! No, Christine, since I moved to SC, I can't blame it on the snow. ;) I'm still working on writing up a birth story, but here's the quick version. I started having contractions at 5:30. My water broke about 6 and we were getting ready to…

A lot of us are using Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred, so now we have a place to compare notes and give each other support.

Thanks for the info on the Brewer Diet. I printed it out and trying to follow it today. Planning on going to stock up on healthy groceries this weekend. Let us know when your little bundle of joy arrives!

Hang in there. The last trimester is so rough! I think it is even harder when you have had to be on bedrest. You also have a toddler--yikes?! You must be so worn out.

Thanks for giving me some hope about those ten pounds. My clothes feel fine, so it is probably some sort of water retention. I think I will be weaning Henry soon (I return to work on Jan 4). I am still struggling with my milk supply--most I have been able to pump is 2 ounces (even with fenugreek, lots of water, nursing every 2-3 hours, etc).

Hi Jen! I did come home weighing about 8 lbs less than before I was pregnant, but I have gained back probably 8-10 lbs?! Nursing makes me hungry, I am grabbing whatever food we have and scarfing it down in what little time I have, and caring for an infant is making me stress eat so I am nibbling on candy more than I should?! I go back to work on Jan 4th--I am hoping that it will help me to get back into more of a routine when it comes to eating.

How are you doing? I try to keep up by going to the healthy pregnancy page periodically!

There are lots of great races in the area and lots of fun festivals for the family. Virginia is a great place. Hot and humid in the summer but lots of beautiful water and things to do. Hope you are feeling good!

Actually, he turned 7 weeks yesterday (Thursday)?! craziness... time is flying by and he seems like he is growing every minute, but I am still trying to get comfy with this motherhood thing--still feels like I am winging it and I have so little time for "me"... I am winging it when it comes to food too--scarfing down whatever I can between feedings... I am on maternity leave until Jan 4th, maybe then I will feel like I have more of a schedule/routine, etc.

How are you doing with the bedrest?
