Oh, I feel ya girl! Still cold here, and school was closed today b/c of all the snow we got overnight. It's snowed everyday for about 3 or 4 in a row. And we're supposed to get snow everyday for the next week. :ack2:

I need to do some exercise tonight, as I haven't done squat so far today.
 
Hmmm, very interesting Star :). I agree with Omega, you dont want to wait too long and then find its too late to have at least one baby. That would be hard to get past if it didn't happen cuz you waited too long. You're married so go for it girl! You'll never be 100% ready, its just something you've gotta go for. Plus if you had one while you were still at the partent's house, they'd probably be a big help w/ the baby. My baby was extrememly easy and slept all the time and rarely cried, however, my sister's 4 month old is a right handful. He literally cries anytime he's on his own and must be held all the time, plus usually he cries while being held UNLESS you're up WALKING AROUND! My bloody back is killing me. And that's with 3 1/2 adults around (her H being 1/2 since he's busy with work and tired when he gets off). Keep us posted luv :).

Ha! I'm always tired after I get off, too. :D Nothing like a good orgasm to help you sleep. :party:

The only problem with having a baby while at my parent's house is that there isn't any fucking room for a baby. It's overflowing with all of us as it is. However, once H's insurance starts covering me (in March) I am going to start punching holes in condoms. hahahaah. Once we get that money (hopefully in April or May), we can buy a house and get the hell out long before a baby arrives. I doubt I'd get knocked up right away, so we will probably be moved out before I even get preggers. BB has waited long enough. :toetap05:

In my experience, baby's who cry whenever they're not held do so b/c they were held all the time and got spoiled. Usually, if you let them pitch their fit and realize it's not gonna work anymore, they get over it. However, one has to be prepared to put up with a lot of crying until it happens--something I have little patience for--crying babies. I hope it's different when it's your own....lmao.
 
I would hold off on punching holes in condoms until you are absolutely SURE you want to stay with H. It was not that long ago that the "D" word was dropped. I'd be hesitant to bring a kid into an unstable situation.

That being said...good luck on whatever you decide is right for you.

Things between us are the best they've been in ages, and are looking up. I know that he does not want to lose me, and will behave. Also, we both know that once we have a child, we wouldn't get divorced unless it was really bad. One thing we both agree on is that we will not argue in front of the kids (or within their earshot). H grew up listening to his parents do that, and it is something he feels very strongly about. My parents were the opposite--I think I can remember only one or two times when they ever got into an arguement in front of me. I think that was mainly b/c my dad grew up listening to his parents have knock out drag out fights. That is such a horrible thing to do to your kids. It is very upsetting to see the two people you love most in the world at each other's throats.

Oh, and I was just joking about punching hole in condoms. I think H would only be too happy to throw them out. :D
 
I'm glad it's good between you guys now. And that you know staying together for a child is the best thing to do.

I grew up unstable, so it means a lot to me to have kids not go through that.

Yes, instability is a bad thing for a kid to experience. Kids need to feel safe.
 
Exercise this week:
1/21—45 min exercise bike, 15.32 miles, weight: 223
1/22—15 min exercise bike, 5.52 miles, weight: 223

Tuesday's calories: 1,515

I went and checked out a gym today. It is pretty state of the art with pretty much everything I want. It isn't huge, but it has several treadmills, bikes, ellipticles, tons of weight machines plus free weights. The cost is also very reasonable--$48 for one month, $120 for 3 months, $210 for 6, and $360 for year. I'm paying $34 a month now, so if I do 6 months, it's $35--pretty much the same price, and so many more options. Another bonus is that they are open until 10pm Mon-Thurs, 8pm Fri, until 2pm Sat, and Noon-4 on Sun. Those are much better hours than my current gym which closes at 7:30 M-Th and at 7pm on Friday, 11:30am Sat and closed on Sunday. This will be great b/c I often have to hustle to get to the gym before it closes. I forgot to ask if I could get a free week pass to try it out. I'll call tomorrow. I'm month to month now on my membership, I just have to give them 30 days' notice b/c it's automatically deducted from my bank account every month. Oh, one other thing is they give your spouse a 50% discount if you pay for a 6 month membership. The only trouble is, we will hopefully not be living here for that long. I think I'll just have to do a 3 month for now.
 
Hey there! How fun to be going to a new gym. I miss having a gym membership. I do love all the weight machines.

Great job tracking your calories and getting in that exercise the last two days. You are doing fabulous!!
 
Twin, I miss ya, I'm so so busy, and no I haven't slipped away with Mrs Sugar booty yet, but damn that sounds tempting you have NO IDEA! things are fine, just little stressers like my poochy is sick again, probably not a good outcome this time, but we will know by the end of the week, thus the reason I haven't been here to often. Also, work has me rocking and rolling, busy, busy lots to do. I miss ya so much and I will try very hard to stop by if just to say HEY I'm here and still working out of course, that hasn't changed. I have body jam tonight, love that class. Then home for a little rest, I'm so exhausted by 10 it's not even funny. Well, I write more later, I need to get some more work done.
Hugs and love to you!

Hi Kimberly

You have certainly been making some big decisions. It is great that your marriage is going so well - and I have to say I am pleased that you have been giving some serious thought to trying for a baby. I would hate for you to miss out on something that is important to you. You can feel young and that your fertility will go on forever and that just isnt the case for women.

Timing things until after the health insurance clicks in sounds perfect.

Marriages never come with a lifetime guarantee. All you can do is see how things are going at the minute and if they are going well - hope that it continues that way.

Being a bit of a part-time property developer sounds great. You are in an ideal position to see properties with a lot of potential as soon as they turn up - so you should be able to snap up the cream of the crop.

Do you get some good tv programs on the subject? We get some pretty good property developer programs - the main one is done by a developer called Sarah Beeny.



You should certainly be able to see clips and you may be able to get whole episodes on four on demand.

It sounds interesting about the gym too. We paid an absolute fortune to some gyms when we were both working and never went. It sounds a good idea to see if the new one is as nice as it sounds.

Take care
Love
Margaret

Trust me, some cry even when they aren't used to being held. My niece was this way. I think it's just instinct that makes them want to be close to someone, maybe from living in a nice and cozy womb for so long. Thank goodness my Bella has always been easy to care for. Little crying and whining and started sleeping through the night at six weeks.

As for the patience, I had NONE before Bella. It's completely different when its your own. You become so infatuated with the little person in your arms that anything they do is not only tolerable but so damn cute you don't ever want to stop hugging and kissing all over them. I get laughed at when I pick her up from daycare and I am kissing her all over with loud smacking sounds and gushing at how much I missed her. Your own baby has a way of making you love them so much it hurts. I think those people out there who neglect or abuse their children have some major mental issues and need to be sterilized and locked away.

Flipping a house is a great idea. I flipped one a couple of years ago and made a nice little chunk of money from it. Plus, I have connections through my job and can get a lot of materials at cost so let me know if you buy something and maybe I can hook a sista up!

That's actually considered an old skool point of view. Nowadays it is theorized that 4 month old babies do not have the brain power to manipulate people or figure out that crying = getting held. They're just not that bright yet at that age to figure it out. It is usually recommended that you hold the baby when it wants and come to it on demand so that it develops a sense of independence later on (giving it the security it desires makes them feel safe enough to be independent when the time is right). My baby rarely cried but anytime she did I would pick her up. It never made her cry more.

Hope you're having a good day :).
 
I am rather old school in some of my child rearing views. For instance, I believe in not letting my kids run wild. Nothing irritates me more than sitting in a restaurant while some little brat is wreaking havoc, while their "parents" look on, smiling at their "cute" behavior. I believe in loving firmness, punishing bad behavoir, and rewarding good behavior. I certainly won't be begging and pleading with my kids to behave, like I've seen some parents do. I also don't believe in being my childrens' friend. They'll have plenty of friends. They need me to be a parent. That means being the big, meanie bad guy sometimes if it's for their own good. I'm sure I'll be hearing a lot of, "You're so old-fashioned! Why can't you be cool like so and so's mom? I hate you!" My response will be, "Too bad. You'll get over it." LMAO

Hmmm...maybe I should just stick to cats. :biggrinjester:

The gf who I had the skinny bitch arguement with has a daughter I babysat a lot. She would be happy as a lark until her mom left. Then she would cry almost non-stop. It drove me nuts, because nothing I did would shut her up. I could hold her, or try to play with her, but she'd still cry--right in my ear. You could tell it was an angry cry. She was pissed that her mom was gone. She was about 8-10months old at the time. Finally, I'd put her in her crib and shut the door. Eventually, she'd cry herself to sleep. I used to dread going over there to babysit b/c it would happen every time. She was good, however, if I put her in her stroller and took her for a walk--mainly b/c she'd fall instantly asleep. It got so that as soon as she started crying, into the stroller and off for a walk she'd go. I've babysat a lot of kids and babies in my time, and she was definately the worst baby I'd ever had to deal with.

Hi MJB,

Yeah, I was surprised that the gym was so cheap. Most gyms around here are at least $50 a month. Although this one's in a small town, so that could be the only way they can stay in business. :rolleyes:

Glad to see you're still exercising like a crazy woman..lol. I've been really busy this week, and have had a hard time fitting in my exercise. Tomorrow should be a lot better, so I should be able to complete my 5hrs no problemo.

I'm sorry to hear about your poor doggy. I'll get over to your diary tout de suit.
