Hi Alli, Just wanted to wish you the best. It would be really difficult to be confined to the bed-especially this time of year when everything is hectic anyway. I would have to agree with the others in regards to workouts (I know I haven't walked in your shoes and I also know I have a hard...

You are so lucky! Although I do not want to find out the gender of our baby until the birth, I was really hoping to have an ultra sound picture just for the baby's book. With my son I was able to have 2 because I measured small throughout my pregnancy. My insurance does not allow an U/S...

Hello. Although I really do not have any sort of advice, I just wanted to say that I hope your pain gets better. I can't imagine how low your energy must be-especially at such a crazy time of year. I am right behind you due date wise (I have 7 weeks) and starting to get uncomefortable also so...

Congratulations Cathe! How exciting to have another boy! Can't wait to find out the name. Soon I will find out what I am having myself. Only 7 more weeks until the due date. Take care of yourself.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-11-01 AT 10:34PM (Est)[p]Congratulations Renea. A little girl will be a lot of fun. We also did what Linda did. We had 2 boy and 2 girls names picked out and waited until the baby was born to see what the baby looked like. I like Renea as a middle name as well.

Hi, I also nursed my son for exactly one year from his birth. He never showed any signs of not drinking due to a strange taste. He still loved to nurse and his weight gain was always a little more than average.

RE: Congrats!!! Hi Alli, Congratulations on Baby Katie! How exciting for you and your family. I loved feeling the hiccups also with my first pregnancy. Haven't felt them yet this time around. Love your baby's name as well! Erika

Hi everyone. Glad you had a great time Michelle. I think you got your workout in San Fran. Yesterday I went to the gym and did a 15 min. power walk and 25 min. slow run plus wu & cd. Also CTX shoulders. Today I did the 1st 25 min. of one of the CIA step tapes (can't remember the #) and CTX...

Congratulations Lynn! Very glad you made it through your tough labor! I bet your little guy is so sweet and I'm sure it feels so good to finally have him home with you. Try to get lots of rest! Erika

Just voted in favor of Cathe. She is up to 54%!

Hi everyone. I have had a hard time getting up to work out these days. Ever since becoming pregnant I want more sleep. I have to work out in the morning or I lose my motivation. I did get up by telling myself I could nap later with my son. It usually gets me going. Anyway, today I went to...

Congratulations on Justin Parker! Hope your recovery goes well and you are able to get some rest. Enjoy your little one. They grow so fast.

Hi Juju, The 1st trimester is the toughest (in my opinion). Hang in there. Just do what you can and rest when you need it. Take care. Erika

Hello, I am checking in a day late but better late than never. Yesterday (10/4) I went to the gym. For cardio I did my wu plus 25 min. on the elliptical cross trainer and then power walked with hills on the treadmill for 10 min. plus cd. I have been on a CTX rotation so I also worked my biceps...

RE: Weekly Check-In (9/28) to Juju Hi everyone. It sounds like everyone is doing well. For you first trimester women-hang in there. It really does get better. I despised my first trimester and now I am really enjoying my pregnancy. Lynn-good luck! Hope everything goes smoothly. Can't wait...
