Hi Melissa, I tried to send you an email through the cathe.com system but the sissy#@aol address bounced. Feel free to send me your new email address the same way (by clicking my name and then sending me a message with your email in it) and I'll send you some photos. I'd love to see LJ...

Hi, I'm not totally familiar with it yet, just joined yesterday. But you have unlimited searches and you can post your own ad about what you're looking for too. I think your timing is great actually, my friends found nannies in a month or so. If you sign up now it's good for a whole year...

Hi, I live near a major city so the going rate is $15 - $17 here...some get more some less. I just joined "sittercity.com" -- check it out, they seem to have a rating guide there and it may include your zipcode. Plus, for me it's a great way to search for a nanny or occasional sitter by your...

Fitnurse, I have not had much luck with putting Sienna down and having her fall asleep on her own. It does happen sometimes in her bouncy when I'm drying my hair with the bathroom vent noise on too. Or...sometimes she cries in her bouncy or swing and then goes to sleep. We haven't yet put...

Hey Arancini and everyone, The pediatrician's office said we should wait to the end of March, if possible. Mainly b/c it's the end of the cold and flu season and Sienna will be bigger and stronger. So, I'll see if we can put them off a bit longer, I don't want to be double charged. The cost...

Ladies, long time no talk! Here are my last 2 weeks of workouts, this week has been tough with no sleep and back to work, so we'll see what I get in by Sunday. MON-core max 00:15:00 MON-run 00:32:00 SUN-ab workout 00:15:00 SUN-walk 00:40:00 SAT-bosu abs 00:15:00...

Hi Manmohini, Sienna hasn't been sleeping well either, it's tough, she's very uncomfortable at night. The doc has us now trying Pedialyte to get some of the mucous out of her system and to prevent it from building up. So I'm nursing but instead of supplementing with formula I'm using...

Hi Manmohini, So sorry to hear about Tamal's discomfort. It sounds very much like what Sienna has been experiencing with both her pre-teething behavior and her incredible congestion. Have you tried nose drops and the nasal aspirator when he's like this? It might help him get through the rest...

Hi, Tupler's "Lose your mummy tummy" DVD is excellent. She also has a velcro splint that she sells with it. The splint keeps your muscles together while you do the exercises & helps remind you to keep them sucked in. She recommends avoiding any lateral (side to side or crossover) moves b/c...

Maybe the sleep talk is rubbing off...Sienna slept 9 straight hours last night. WOW!!! I was thrilled, but my bbs were killing me. Had to pump before she nursed. But, I will gladly pump before bedtime if she keeps this up. We also had our first night out at a nice restaurant with her, she did...

Arancini, I'm jealous of Nico too! It looks like all the sleep strikes you suffered through are really turning around, that's wonderful. I just broke out our white noise again, she likes the ocean and vacuum cleaner. :-) We start the daycare transition tomorrow. We put it off b/c Sienna...

FYI...I just posted a new check in for 2.10

Hey Moms, Happy Valentines Day! Sienna is napping soundly :-)... Here are last weeks workouts for me, if anyone else is keeping track I'd love to see what you're up to. It motivates me to see what others are doing and to know that I'm going to put my log here. The running has really...

Hey Manmohini, I bring her up 2 flights of stairs, but when it has taken her a LONG time to go down I bring her up in the bouncy (hand underneath). We were letting her sleep in it b/c it's upright and she's been so congested. The humidifier is in our room, so that's added incentive to get her...

Maybe Nico finally got the memo that he's a BABY and his main job should be to play and SLEEP!! Good for him and great for you! I hope he keeps it up. Was it straight through or did he wake up in the middle? Eventually they go straight through, I can't wait for that. Manmohini, your night...

Wow!!! You're getting in lots of activity, that's way more than I thought. I'm sure the nice weather helps too. You go girl! Did Nico sleep again? A friend of mine said to try bottom swaddling (no arms), her son slept an extra 4 hours -- 12 hours total at 14 weeks.Not sure if that will work...

Melissa, I just saw this...looks like you have some good answers from Manmohini. I'll have to be more on top of this stuff, it's scary that I let my daughter have all of them at once. We skipped Hep B in the hospital b/c she was so small and during my pregnancy I interviewed pediatricians...

Hi Ladies, Thanks for the compliments. :-) I think Arancini is working out even more than I am. She's been able to 1 hour a day. So big Kudos to her!! Melissa, I agree, there's just not enough leave for moms in the US. We could use a lot more time with our babies. I'm transitioning Sienna...

Hey Moms, It's been a while but I thought I'd attempt to re-start our check-ins. I've been doing some mellow workouts, trying to do SOMETHING everyday. So far not much progress in the weight department but from what I've been reading fat cells are tough to budge in the first 12 weeks...

Amy, what's OD? I'd like to do more research on which type of IUD might be right for me and what the side effects are. Thanks! steph
