Michelle's Place- A bit wiser this time around...

lol Karl:) You win the ability to say "I am right" and mean it;) I value this particular thing with my husband and I figure everything that I am right on is another notch on the "told ya" post;).
Thanks JZ:) I totally think having a girl now would be a nice balance for the family: 2 girls, 2 boys. See it just works out;)
Running today may not happen. I will try to get the gym but my son was up late with a bloody nose (they can go for up to and sometimes more than an hour!), and then his demonic alarm clock decided to just randomly go off several times last night. I finally unplugged it. Just can't figure out why it went off??
So we are all dragging today. Karl I hear you with the running. I don't want to have an excuse but I do want to be careful. I might hit the bike or elliptical for the rest of the week and see if the lower impact helps at all. Also going to be at the docs today for the ultrasound and maybe I can ask some questions about it:)
So fingers crossed the baby makes it easy to see. I do have a mover and a shaker in there! lol
Be back after noon to update:D!!!!!
 
Oh no, I wasn't giving you an excuse Darlin' I was just asking if a lower impact (like the aforementioned eliptical) would be a better choice.

I personally admire the hell out of the fact that you are doing the exercise your doing while pregnant.

Can't wait to hear the results.
 
Mishi you are my idol! I can't wait to be a wicked-cool fit-as-hell-never-give-up preggo chick like you! Well...preggo I can wait for...maybe another 5 years...but fit-as-hell definitely! Can't wait to hear what the sex is!!
 
It's a Boy!

lol Fruittart check your texts!! ;)
So it's a boy. I am having another ultrasound on Friday and they are going to take a few more pics. The little one was in a bad position to get some of the pics they needed of the face. But it moved just enough to see the twig and berries lol. It's a boy. I have mixed feelings about it for sure. I was very much in girl mode and was looking forward to cute pink things. However, I have a boy. I know how wonderful they are to raise. I am familiar with boy things and they have cute little shirts and whatnot Armando can't fit in anymore so now I have a new person to shop for:).
What's really cool is she was able to tell me how the baby is laying and now I can feel the movements I know it's feet because that's where they were this morning. That's just cool. It looks like it has my nose (though it was hard to tell). It has little bones and definitely likes to wiggle. So a house full of boys! Well at least it will be easier when he's a teenager, won't have to get a shotgun... yet;) lol
Thanks all for the support. My exhaustion has caught up with me. I am going to lay down while I can lol.
 
Congrats on the news! I was blessed with BOY, GIRL, BOY, so I understand the house of boys, but I also get the "shotgun" thing as well. Boys are definately easier!! Healthy and happy is what to hope for now! :) :) Have a great day!!
 
LOL you're nose..
You know you and your Mr. have very cute button noses... so it's gotta be a cutie! :)
Well I swear we were feeling girly vibes... le sigh. Maybe we're feeling the vibes of the NEXT baby! :)

Rest up my dear... I'll chat your ear off in email. :) lol.
xo
 
So weird to be referred to as 'fruit tart' ... LOL

I guess I'd better get over it since I just had to be all incognito. lol
 
Okay so I don't get an I told ya so, but it's all good.

And hey hey!! whats this about the shotgun thing? We don't hold boys and girls accountable to the same standards here? Last I checked it took two...

Both of mine are girls and I don't need a shotgun...

Course, when they see me filling up the door frame, blotting out the light...
 
Hehe, well I am kind of a tart... except for when I'm not. ;)
I give thee permission to call me what ever you'd like! :) lol..
When I think of me as a tart I see me with only my knickers on! ... strangely.

Mish did you work out today?
Me and the boys have been working out every night! It's funny though cause they want to work out in their undies..
It's kinda cute actually.. :) lol
 
Grumpy today

Hello all:)
lol we can call her "Fart"... it works... on sooooo many levels;) see what happens when you give permission for ANYTHING! lol:hurray:
lol Karl I don't think I would ever blot out a doorway. Need to grow a few feet! I am a shorty. There is a country song though that cracks me up about a boy taking a girl out and her father says he'll be waiting on the front porch cleaning his gun. lol It's a funny image.
So yes I did work out today. I went to the gym and did the eliptical for 20 minutes, then the treadmill for 10 (yes I had to jog and paid for it in belly pain) then I rode the bike for 10 and then walked for another 5. It was really hot in the workout room. I had to prop the door open to let some air in. I forgot about that. When I am outside it is nice and cold and I can regulate my temp with layers of clothing. I couldn't here. There is no way I am about to work out in MY undies!! lol
However, the drawback is that there are full length mirrors in this place. sigh. I know my belly is baby now... mostly lol. but seeing it in the mirror it's a bit like a beer gut.. which I have never had. Sort of depressing to look at lol. However, I got through it and now going to get chores done today. Also going to see a stroller that I found on craigslist. It's a BabyTrend jogger where the carseat snaps on so you can take an infant running or walking. For normal strollers you have to wait until they can sit up before it's safe to take them but with the carseat with harness I can take him while he's really young without hurting him. :)
I hope it's in good condition.
I have another ultrasound on Friday and I am going to get the sex reconfirmed. I know I need to let go but I was really so sure it was a girl!! So just in case because I know there are often mistakes in this area and I didn't see what she was talking about with the boy parts lol. Just to lay my mind at ease;)
Hope you all have a wonderful turkey day!!! Mine will be away from all my family for the first time every... except my husband. sigh. My son will be with his dad. So not sure what tomorrow will be like..... but "real" thanksgiving will be on Saturday.:) Have a good one!!

Meanie Pants!! LOL

OMG but that would be funny... just call me 'Toots'... we'll know we mean fart but its ooh so much cuter. lol :p

You're doing sooo good working out!
I couldn't work out in my undies either.. It'd just be wrong in so many ways. And talk about chaffing! lol. Not only that one of the 'girls' is liable to give me a black eye..
Nope, clothed it is for me. ;)

Well you know Thanksgiving really is just another day... Just pretend it's just a lazy day together... enjoy Sat! :)

We're going to Martha's where I"m sure to drink way to much... hehe.

You should post a pic of your cute preggo belly. :)
 
Hi Hunny Bunny!!
Hope you and P enjoy your quiet turkey day!!!
Loves ya bunches! :)

Back to Routine!

Hello all!
Well Thanksgiving was interesting. For Thursday it was our first without family and even my son was with his dad so I was an emotional wreck that day. Friday we left for ABQ to have "real" Thanksgiving with the family. It was fun. I ate a huge plate but it was really all I had eaten all day. So it wasn't bad. The bad was that since my routine was messed up I haven't walked or jogged in almost a week!
So today I was back to it. Because of the week of no exercise and because my bladder was being jumped on I decided to walk for today. It was a good huff and on the uphill parts I am still out of breath. I am trying to come to terms with the fact I may not be able to jog for the rest of my pregnancy. I have several issues right now: I always need to pee... whether I need to actually or not but jogging makes it worse, my ligaments are stretching in my tummy and it really hurts- as much as I want to run through the discomfort that will make the workout grueling and I might not be as apt to stick to it, I also am getting really bad heartburn from whatever I eat and it makes me nauseous, and finally this week is the week before we move and there is lots to do around the house so I need to conserve energy.
So I feel like poo not being able to jog but there are certainly some valid reasons. If I at least get out there and walk I will be better for it so now is the time to just slow down. There is always the elliptical if I feel I need a push but I am trying to convince myself that the regular habit is going to outweigh the intensity... for now. Come May I will be able to get back to it.
So today I need to collect some canned goods for my friends son's boyscout group, pack up some of the kitchen, pay some bills, and get some insurance quotes. Busy busy. Also laundry in there of course;) lol.
Hope you all have a great day today!!
