BikiniBound's Diary

Sorry I've been MIA with ya! :grouphug:

********

Is it easier to walk outside for ya, or at the gym?

Which way happens most often for ya?

Has yer doc put any limits on exercise?

I've been reading your diary, just haven't posted lately. Yes, I'm lazy. :blush5: Sorry you've been going through all that shit.

I hate walking at the gym b/c then it means a treadmill is involved--see my reply to Margaret. I always walk outside, but lately haven't been walking much b/c of a rape that occured in the area where I walk. I've been working out at the gym more, and working out at our condo--which is physically exerting, so I would say it's a form of exercise.

The doc has not put any limits on my exercise. I currently have no medical reasons to do so. :)
 
Okay, this is a hormonal rant so don't be offended..hahaha:

I wish everyone would quit bugging me about walking. I know you all mean well, but it just annoys me--I'm in another murderous rage now. :reddevil: NO one is more annoyed than I am that this stupid rapist has interferred with my walks. But I am still getting exercise in--just in different forms. I walk when I can, and work out in other ways when I can't. I am more concerned about exercise in general, and getting in ab exercises to help with everything regarding pregnancy, delivery and recovery.
 
I won't lie... if I found out about a rapist near my house, I wouldn't be going out walking at all. Unless it was with a BIG GROUP of people.
 
*oops* :blush5: Sorry Kimberly. :hug2:

I have been mia so long and I can't read all that I've missed bc of my eyes. (lol - just fallin' apart at 35)

I know how ya feel tho re: "missin' them.."

I loved walkin' at night with ZuZu.. I've been too scared to do that bc of the 2 people at different times that have been robbed at gun point on our property.

I tried walkin' yesterday but the motion made me too dern dizzy. <grrrr>

Speakin' of babies ;) - MaeMae will get her 'for sure' due date on Oct. 14th!

They are thinking Dec. 7th maybe even a lil sooner since it will be C-Section.

:waving:

HaHAHA - Hormonal or not you can rant and rave over w/e ya want, whenever ya want...and guess what you dont even need any excuse, let alone being preggo...

Um i wouldn't be walking either if there is a rapist loose and my fam and friends woulddnt allow me to either, ha...

as long as you are feeling good about what you are doing then who the hell cares...

We are all in different placves and on different paths in life, therefor we all do things for different reasons.

I think it is great at you can still exercise when preggo.I couldnt cuz everyhtign made me sick...lol...my energy plunged big time in my first trimester and just continued getting worse:)

DO whatever you can to be healthy and maintaine your health noand after baby:)!!!

I never doubted that you were getting plenty of exercise with all the work on your new home. Do whatever you need to in order to be as tranquil as you can be.
 
I think this is the longest I've been MIA since I was in Europe. Been pretty busy. My mom is in the hospital again. They are getting rid of all that fluid she is retaining. She's been there since Monday. So far she's lost about 6-7 liters of fluid. She is doing well, just having a hard time getting comfortable in the hospital beds. She's had 3 different beds so far, and still gets little sleep at night.

Had an OB appt yesterday. Everything looks good. Baby's heart rate was 148, so it might be a boy. But that is just a guess. Had a test for gestational diabetes today--standard. They will call me within a week if it's high. Otherwise no news is good news. I have my first ultrasound scheduled for the end of this month.

Still working on the condo--but it's been slow going with David working a lot of hours and me being busy with Mom etc.

I got up at the crack of dawn to go to an Obama rally in downtown Grand Rapids. It was freezing outside, but well worth the trouble. He made a great speech, and the crowd was huge. Police estimate around 16,000 people came to hear him speak. The crowd was really diverse in age and race. I thought it was pretty cool. Americans of all colors and walks of life gathering with a common goal--to get our country back on track. There were quite a few kids there. I wanted to say to them, "Your're looking at the next president. Someday you can tell your grandkids about this day." It was very moving for me. I was too choked up to sing along with the national anthem. We had really good seats, but the pics I took with my camera didn't turn out so well with him--kinda blurry. Now the VP debates are on. Curious to se how Palin does. I'm sure she'll do better than most expect, since expectations are so low..lol.

The first two pics are of the crowds, and the last one is Obama on stage--not sure if you'll be able to see him well or not.
 
Well shoot! So sorry to hear this Kimberly. :hug2:

Bless her sweet heart!
I know how uncomfy those dang beds are as well. *yuck*
Plus just all the dang noise and ppl coming in/out 'round the clock..
My nurses were so great and just doin' their job, but ya just can't rest in a hospital..lol

I hope she has a speedy recovery!

Great news re: your OB visit. :) It's always a blessing to hear good news from the doc's while expecting.
I was always a nervous wreck.
(that had ta do with my family history tho and the birth-defects)
I was always havin' nightmares.
I guess that was natural bc of what we went thru as a family with my sissy's and bubba.

***
What all is left with the condo?
Hope you guys are gettin' close to bein' through so it'll be behind ya and y'all can just enjoy it. ;)

***
Glad ya had a gr8 time at the rally!
It was 90* here today and humid..lmbo! :ack2:

:grouphug:

Get some rest mommy!
 
Sorry to hear that your mother is uncomfortable in hospital again. They rarely seem to be restful places. I hope that they can continue to get rid of the water for her as she certainly was retaining a whole lot of water.

It sounds like you enjoyed the rally. Sometimes events just get to us and make us feel emotional - many of us get those patriotic moments regarding our own country. It is great when we feel that we are seeing history in the making.

I am pleased to hear that your pregnancy is all on track and going well.

Take care
Love
Margaret
 
Hey Kimberly,

Sorry about your mom and the uncomfortable hospital beds. At least the fluid is going down though...

Glad to hear you had an excellent time at the Obama rally... I feel like this election season has been so aggressive already, I've really never paid more attention to this stuff more than I have this time around... I've had lots of political discussions with my friends and family... The other night I got ambushed at dinner in a political debate that I didn't particularly want to have, I just wanted to eat... I was with my friends and their family who all happen to be pretty hardcore right-wing conservatives... I find it impossible to have a political discussion with them, not only because it's usually like 6 on 1, and also because they instantly turn into crazy Chuck Norris-Elizabeth Hasselback-talk over you and start screaming about shit that doesn't even make sense- Repubs... What bothers me most is the fact that they know I'm a democrat, a pretty liberal one... and they feel that someday I'm all of a sudden going to see "The Republican Way"... I tell them flat out that, especially being a gay man, I would have to HATE myself if I voted Republican... wouldn't I? I mean considering how anti-gay the Bush Administration is and how anti-gay we know the McCain/Palin ticket is... that's my rant for now I guess... I feel I was considerate and did do it in the diary of a fellow open liberal democrat though :)

Have a great day,
Sam
 
Trust me, 4 months is not long at all--especially when you're as ancient as I am.

:rolleyes: :drooling: ;)

and have one of those humiliating treadmill accidents you see on youtube.

:rotflmao: I would NEVER want that to happen to you, but this sentence really struck my funny bone!!!

I am more concerned about exercise in general, and getting in ab exercises to help with everything regarding pregnancy, delivery and recovery.

Supposedly belly dancing mimics birthing techniques. IF I ever happen upon a Baby Daddy and decide to get knocked up (uh, I'd have to "give birth" to my IUD first, :eek: I heard that HURTS!) I'm definitely gonna get hardcore into it.


:grouphug: We wish your mom comfort and wellness. Glad you had a good time at the Obama thing!
 
Stacy--Thanks, honey. The main trouble with the hospital beds is that her back aches. They have got her on some decent painkillers, and yesterday she spent a lot of time sitting in a chair for a change, and her therapist had her moving about some. She just wants a lazy boy recliner to sleep in like she does at home..lol

I try not to worry about all the things that could go wrong with the baby. What's the point? There's nothing I can do to change it at this stage. I am just assuming all is well (which it probably is) and will cross any bridges IF I come to them..lol :) I just try to eat right and exercise and take care of myself. That's really all I can do.

Wow 90degrees!! The high here yesterday was only 55, and it was maybe 50 at the most during that rally. Since it was in the 70s here last week, it's quite a temp adjustment to suddenly make. But I'll take 50 over 90 anyday..lol. I can't take the heat so I stay out of the South--unless it's winter. :biggrinjester:

Margaret--I really did feel like history was in the making. When I looked around and saw a lot of black kids around me I wanted to say to them, "Look at Senator Obama. What he's doing is groundbreaking. If he can become president of this country, that means you, too, can become anything you want. The sky's the limit. Don't ever think the color of your skin can stop you from achieving your dreams." I just think he should bring a lot of hope to minorities and all people who grow up in poor, single parent homes, b/c I think many of those people feel that there is no hope. Hopefully his candicacy (and presidency) will change that. :)

Sam--I totally hear ya, my fellow liberal..lol. I live in a predominantly conservative area myself, so I know how it feels to be ganged up on. I usually refuse to get into those types of debates these days--learned my lesson. Next time they attack you, just ignore them and say you refuse to get into that discusssion. Did you see the debates last night where they were talking about gay marriage? Obama seems to really be gaining in the polls, and McCain has bowed out of Michigan. Guess he knows it's a hopeless cause. Even if the west side of the state where I live is predominantly Repub, the east side is heavily democratic and more poplulous (there is one good thing about Detroit!! hahaha). But I've noticed lots of Obama signs here in areas that you would normally rarely see a sign for a Dem. Gives me hope. :) And won't you have fun rubbing their faces in it back home when he wins? :party:
 
:waving:

LOL re: recliner! ;)
I wish one could be brought up to her room!
I hope she is having a better day today.

Time is flying fast and before we know it you will be posting super fast to tell us you're in LABOR!! :hug2:

We get the for sure c-section date for Chrisy on the 14th..
He may be a TG baby! *Gobble-Gobble* lol

Wow, 70* to 50* is a quick change for you guys!

We live like that all year long tho..LMBO! :willy_nilly:

Even with our so-called winter weather.
They are once again saying it will be a mild winter for us. :rolleyes:
We will of course get a few cold snaps and freezing type weather to our TX Bones, and I'm sure we may have 1-2 ice events, but that will probably be it like last year.
I'd love to have a cold/frosty winter for once with snow!
Can I come stay with u this winter?
I will clean the condo from top to bottom often and wait on yer every preggy whim. :D

*Snorts*

Will you be watchin' the start of the new Super Nanny episodes tonight?
I love that show and wished it would have been around while I was raising Cory!
I love her tips/creative ideas.

I was very on top of things and creative, but could have done even better with that show around..lol

I LOVE her ideas re: things like the 'tooth fairy' and 'passie fairy.'

I love her charts to for chores/discipline/house rules.
 
Hey how's it going?
Sorry I haven't been around much. Been so busy lately.
Are you still up to getting together sometime?
Let me know. :biggrinjester:
 
Stacy--We are supposed to have a very cold, snowy winter, so if you're up for it, c'mon up and wait on me--anyone who wants to clean my house for free is more than welcome..lmao. :D

Is MM's c-section date in Nov or Dec?

Mom had a good night's sleep the night before last, but last night was terrible again. They will probably move her tomorrow to a rehab/nursing home facility tomorrow where she'll stay briefly before coming home. She has lost quite a bit of weight over the last week, so that is great.

I have watched Supernanny now and then, and I think JoJo is great. But I have to mute things when the kids are screaming their heads off..lol. I love her way of managing children. :)

Dawn--I've been busy, too. :) I'm still up for getting together in a couple of weeks. Especially if gas keeps going down. :D
 
9/29—weight: 222, painting
9/30—weight: 224
10/1—weight: 225.5, painting, 35 min circuit training
10/2—weight: 225
10/3—weight: 222.5, 35 min circuit training
10/4—weight: 224, 16min, 1 mile walk, painting
10/5—weight: 222, 40 min, 2.2 mile walk

Weight is a few lbs higher than I'd like it atm. :ack2: Made a good dinner tonight of pork sirloin steaks, red potatoes, broccoli and cauliflower.

David and I had Indian yesterday for lunch before seeing Mom at the hospital--yummy. After seeing Mom, we went for a walk in the area around the hospital--which is a neighborhood of old money. Gorgeous houses on quiet tree-lined streets. Average sales price in that area (even with the housing market as terrible as it is) is $400K, but many of them go for over $600K.
 
Hola bonita. Glad to hear everything is okay with the baby. A boy would be cool! :)

Sorry about the mom.

I just saw this post--sorry I missed it. :blush5:

Yeah, I could just see me having one of those treadmill accidents..lmao.

My belly "dances" already, honey--jiggle jiggle when I walk. hahaha I'm noticing my fitted pants are getting very tight. I've been wearing size 16 jeans, but looks like I'm gonna have move up to an 18 now..lol. Unfortunately, I think I look fat rather than preggo atm. That will gradually change over the next few months--hopefully.

Have you been watching SNL? Tina Fey is a dead ringer for Palin. It's uncanny, the resemblance.
 
Just popping in to catch up with you. Congrats on the baby and still being around here, or at least coming back here if you've been MIA. Me too.
 
Hola bonita. Glad to hear everything is okay with the baby. A boy would be cool! :)

Sorry about the mom.

Bon soir, mon ami. I forgot to mention that I had a test for gestational diabetes on Thursday. They said they'd only call if there was a problem. So I was worried to see the doc office number ringing on my cell phone on Friday. Luckily the test came back negative. They were calling b/c my iron count was a little low and I'm slightly anemic. So I am now taking an iron supplement. Shew--glad that's all it was!!

Mom called a little bit ago. They are moving her to a different floor b/c she's doing better. I'm wondering if they are still planning to move her to a different facility tomorrow if they moved her to a different room tonight. I mean, why bother if they're going to discharge her tomorrow?? Dad and I are hoping they just keep her in the hospital for a few more days rather than to a new facility.
