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:

Bedrest
Four days and no gym.
I love the gym.
Ok, well, I love the gym when people aren't commenting on how much weight I've gained or how I shouldn't be doing certain things in my "condition."
For those of us who have spent years or even decades watching the number on the scale or fixating on our pant size, pregnancy can make you feel lost and out of control. Yes, yes, we all know that you have to get bigger and that the end product makes the torture of getting dressed a little easier, but it's stil… Continue

Congrats Francie!
Oh, and Emily... put the baby down and pick up the laptop. We want to see pictures! ; )
OMG, congrats Emily! Lots and lots of pictures, please!
My hospital just banned all kids under 16. They even canceled any and all classes involving kids. So now, I have to switch hospitals which means I have to switch doctors. I'm a bit worried seeing as how it can take my insurance over a month to get...
Wow, the hand is great! Congrats on the girl!
Tomorrow I go pick up my wedding dress. It had to be taken in quite a lot in the bodice. Now I'm worried it will be too tight. (I had that happen years ago to a dress I had altered when I was a bridesmaid in a friend's wedding.) I keep reminding m...
Welcome back, Elaine! I was wondering what had happened to you, but it sounds like you are making great strides to get your life back.
So cute Emily! I love that your belly is even a little lopsided- you can see baby butt or head pushing out on the right side! You're in the home stretch....
Love it Emily! Any day now...
You do look great!
Francie- you look great. And though I didn't want to- I ended up putting on 39 official lbs with this pregnancy...but they will come off. Like you said- I did it once, I'll do it again.
Just a pic and a few words- took this while working this morning- its actually kind of hard to type since my laptop has to be so far down my lap! :)
Soon- very soon.
I figured I may as well post a halfway shot - me at 20 weeks on the dot - when we were hiking this Sunday. I'm up way too much - 16-18 pounds(gasp) but I am over it(most of the time). What will be will be, I'll lose it again.
Unfortunately, we have military insurance and don't have the option to switch to another doctor or hospital. Midwives aren't covered at all and there aren't any birthing centers within hours of us and with the baby coming we don't have the cash to...

Christine said… - 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?

Mrs. Ballou said… - I used to be a full time smoker, than I became an "occasional" smoker, with beers or on really stressful days. That's the habit I'm trying to quit right now. I almost think that's harder than quitting completely because I've made it ok to smoke, in my head, during those situations. I'll get there though, it's a hard habit to break, but I know I have the strength. Thank you for the comment!

Jennie Rose said… - Thanks for your understanding words, gal~ I think we just have to accept our PG gain for what it is... short-term. ::shrugs:: I don't like gaining so much every pregnancy, but it seems that for some of us no matter WHAT we do (or don't do) we gain that larger number. :-/ All we can do is take each day and make *IT* the best we can, then when we DO fail (because we will), get back on the horse and do things the right way. Thanks again~ I appreciate you taking the time to respond~ :)

Tricia said… - I am praying the move will be over by Friday night. I liked moving things little by little and putting them away as I went, but it also meant living in absolute chaos for 2 weeks straight. Of course, there is probably no way to avoid that when you move. I've been doing lots of painting at the new house, so have been gone a lot at night. An uneventful pregnancy is a good one. :)

- Hey! How is the pregnancy going? I need to check in on the pregnancy gruop to see how you are all doing. :)

- Thanks for your comments. I am definitely going to track this weekend! I'm afraid to splurge during the week though!

- Thanks Jen for the advice about breastfeeding... they had me breastfeeding for 20 minutes AND giving him 2-3 ounces of formula every 3 hours, so he is used to a good amount of food! Might just need to feed him more frequently now that I am breastfeeding only--and push through a couple of days of him being annoyed by eating less!

- Love your pictures Gal! I'm 20 weeks too! :) Congrats on your baby coming next year~ :)
