I finally found a babysitter! We have only used family members for our 3 boys (7, 5, & 9 months)but I often feel like I am imposing so I am excited to have found this person. But I have no idea what babysitters expect for payment! Any input is welcome. She is older too (about 22 or 23) which is...

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I used Cathe cardio workouts through all 3 of my pregnancies with gradual modifications (lowering the step, no high impact blasts, etc.) With my last pregnancy, I bought Low Impact Step (the beginner/moderate dvd)and used it alot in the last trimester--it was...

Thanks everyone for your great responses. I think some of these ideas will work with my kids and I am going to check out the books mentioned. I just had a talk with my DH about BOTH of us saying "No" when my boys ask for candy from the snack bar after their sports games (Soccer starts...

Does anyone have any good suggestions for creative but healthy options to give my kids in their lunchboxes? A few months ago I bought Tosca Reno's "Clean Eating" book and have been trying to incoporate that into mine and my family's lifestyle (including making our house a Marshmallow Fluff-Free...

This is not a workout suggestion so I hope it is okay to post it. But I would love a Cathe sweatshirt. I know there are fleeces available, but I think a lot of people prefer sweatshirts (or like both!) I noticed new t-shirts in the new catalog which are cute, but I hope someday Cathe will...

This happened to me with all 3 of my pregnancies--I thought I was the only one! I imagine it must be safe to do lunges and plies, as I know people who have not had this problem and were fine with them. It was so uncomfortable/painful for me though (not so much when I was doing them but...

I like to use MIC when I need a TOUGH workout but only have about a half hour to do it--then I just do the hi/lo part and skip the step. Plus, I am able to talk myself into doing it by saying "The hard part is only about 10 minutes--you can do anything for 10 minutes" since she starts out with...

I was 36 when I had my second baby and I am 40 now expecting my third (due date Feb. 11th!) My husband and I were open to the idea of an amnio but only if the tests prior to that showed some kind of problem. With our second baby we were given the triple test/blood screen (I think it is called a...

I ordered the calendar on December 30th and still haven't received it. Has this been other people's experiences? Or should I be looking into this? When I check my order through the website it just says the order is "pending." I am just so used to my orders coming in a few days. I was not...

Congratulations! I am 36 weeks and counting! I have worked out exclusively with Cathe all through this pregnancy as well as my previous two pregnancies (I have 2 sons, 6yrs and 4yrs). I truly believe it helpd me meanage my stress level, eased my pregnancies (I never dealt with swelling...

This happend to me--what a pain! My doctor diagnosed me with fibroids--it was awhile ago (OCtober 2000), but if I remember correctly, he just diagnosed it off the top of his head--I do not think I had an ultrasound or anything. I had to go into the hospital for a D & C--it was a same day...

Yesterday I did the warm-up and cardio segment of BMax2--I stopped before the cardio blast section. I think it was about 35 minutes. It was a lot of fun although I did have to modify it a little more than LIC. I also did not use any risers. I am six months pregnant so some of the jumping...

Thank you so much for this post! I received my new DVDs but was just sort of assuming that I would need to wait until after our baby was born (he is due 2/11/07!)because I thought they would be too hard. Then I read your post! And I tried Low Impact Circuit as well---cardio, modified, no...

How do you clean your dog's ears? What do you use? For the first time in my life I have a dog with floppy ears and they are so smelly! They do not seem infected--I actually had a German Shepherd whose ears would get infected periodically and needed medicine, so I know what that is like--my...

I appreciate your post--it makes a lot of sense! I am feeling much more confident that everything will work out--thank you!

Thank you both very much for responding. I am going to be careful and just walk until my next ultrasound, and hope for the best. I have both the Clapp and Gallo books, and the Gallo does give a bunch of exercises to do if you are confined to bed rest---I am so praying that I won't need to be...

I have never posted before but I have been lurking forever. I am 18 weeks pregnant and just went for a level 2 ultrasound today (I am 40 years old). We were thrilled to hear that things look great but then the doctor said my placenta is lying over my cervix. She said this is common and in...
