*~*~*Losin' The Baby Fat - Wobbly Wednesday*~*~*

Jefinner · 07-19-2005, 11:09 PM

I don't know why Wednesday is Wobbly... Just sounded good...

I'm back!!! We went to E. Texas on Saturday, Houston on Sunday, then back to E. Texas Sunday night through today.

Sunday, we went to my Aunt and Uncles 25th Anniversary surprise party. It was very cool. My cousin rented the place where they first met, like 27 years ago. A little bar/club called Tin Hall. They rent it out now for parties and such. She even had them blindfolded on the way up the stairs (the club part is the second floor). Of course, my Aunt Cheryl just bawled as soon as the blindfold was lifted and we all yelled "SURPRISE!" Her mom, dad and sis even came down from Oklahoma. And my uncle Vernon got to meet his namesake (his first name is Franklin... Ezra's middle name).

The funniest thing is that Anna had a complete BLAST!!! They had a DJ, and she danced non-stop. My little dancin' queen. The only thing was that I had a hard time keeping track of who was holding Ezra!

After that, we went to see Hank's old bandmate and his wife and kids. Man... The whole band has gotten chubby! LOL! The only one who didn't was Jeremy's (his bandmate) wife who's youngest is just a month older than Ezra. They also have another son who will be 2 in September. Anna was just as tall as he was. It was weird though... Although their youngest baby laughed a little more than Ezra; Ezra was a lot more alert. Wierd. Oh, and I felt a little sad... I like his wife, but it seemed like she never held the youngest son. We were there for hours, and all she did was put him in his swing, and shove the pacifier in his mouth. When he got fussy, she gave him a bottle (in his swing), and only picked him up to move him to the pack and play or bouncy chair. I mean, I don't hold Ezra all the time, but man... I thought babies were meant to be held SOME. Who knows... Maybe I do hold my babes too much... LOL!

Anyway... Anna had a total blast this weekend. Makes me realize that I HAVE to get her out and socialized more. She just loves other kids.

So... The threads were huge... I didn't have a chance to read much... Anything interesting happen?

Love you girls!

Mornin' Mommies,

I woke up at 5:30 this morning and decided to get up so I'd at least have time for shower and a snack before the rugrat wakes at 6:00. Maybe I'll make a habit of this; it's nice to have some time to myself before I'm on duty.

My weight is up 2 lbs this morning so I've gotta nip that in the bud and work out today. Maybe it's because I ate a half jar of pickles yesterday.

I had the most amazing craving for sweet pickles, couldn't be stopped.

Jen--Sounds like a blast! I'm glad the kids did so well.

mandy--What happened?

hi chels

kiwiflower · 07-20-2005, 05:18 AM

I'm about to get frustrated again. My weight has been stuck on the same stupid number ever since last Tuesday. I cannot get it to budge no matter what I do.

Every time it's done this in the past I've said what the heck and given up. But now I want to bust this number! I'm so tired of seeing it every morning!

I hate how the scale dictates my mood for the day.

LivnLGNOmore · 07-20-2005, 05:33 AM

Just a quickie before we all head out this morning. Elliott has 'school', Pudge has his Dr. app., and then I've got to go into work for a bit and make pies

Saw 285 this morning, I seem to be slowing down on M/E, maybe my body is tierd of it? I'd like to try and finish this week at least, we'll see what happens

On the Today Show you know how they do their summer wedding thing where you vote for the couple, and the dress, cake, flowers, and stuff? Well one of the couples is from Hampden, Maine, which is about 1.5 hrs from me. It's right outside of Bangor, which is one of our bigger cities in Maine, that's where we go to Target, Toy's R Us, Super Walmart, and stuff like that. It would be cool to see them be picked as the couple to be married, I'm gonna go vote for them, then hit the road. Have a great day, and try not to be on page 69(

) when I get home, I'll never catch up

Mandy~ It must have been the night for those, Reilly & I had one around 3am.

Gotta run, BBL.

boodsadel · 07-20-2005, 06:44 AM

Morning girls... Glad I wasnt' home much yesterday to come on here and get frustrated. Some people need to just back into the holes they came from!

Jen... Awe, sounds like you guys had a blast! Eli did a dance move the other day for the first time where he bent his knees and swiveled his butt.. we just burst out laughing it was so dang cute! Guess we need to dance more around here (YIKES!). Any new pics of your babies?

Chels... Hey lady! How are things going with DH?

Mandy... Rough night? His pics the other day were SOOOO Cute! It's amazing how tiny he is, although I'm sure you're saying it's amazing how big he's getting!

Holly... Glad to hear your belly is getting big fast, too!! I can't even really suck it in.. I like your idea.. I'll just tell people I'm 20 weeks!! (they'd believe it

). I just weighed for the first time since I got preggo and I'm up 4 lbs.. uh oh.

Kiwi... Maybe you could try even just a day of M/E to get past the plateau.

I know how frustrating it is... vent all you like!

Liz... Have fun with all your running around! I love that you call him Pudge.. what a cutie! He seems like such a happy-go-lucky baby in all the pics!

Lauren... Ok, I'm commenting from yesterday... I am broken out as bad as a skinny little 13 year old boy just going into puberty!

It is HORRIBLE! Bad news... I was the entire pregnancy with Eli also. It sucks.. I was my face 3 times a day, and it's like a grease pot at the end of the night, and I normally don't have oily skin. Let me know if your derm says there is something you can do.

Cyn... Morning chica!

Emily... Have fun errand running also!

Marthad · 07-20-2005, 06:47 AM

Hi everyone!

Mandy, those pictures of Spencer are so cute! Uh, what’s a come to Jesus meeting?

Dena, sorry about your housing worries. What a pain. I really hope everything works out easily for you. How sweet to send those cute clothes to Mandy & Spencer! My first period started Monday (more than 12 weeks post partum) an its amazingly light…I usually had light ones too, haven’t noticed any cramps, but have been loaded on Tylenol & Motrin for the flu…sorry about your sheet.

Emily, wow, Riley is a chunk! How big is he? He and Logan are only a month a part…Logan was 14lbs last time we weighed him, that was at 11 weeks. Saw your next post…Great pics! He can really push himself up! Which monitor did you use in Germany? I’m using a US one on batteries, and the sound is awful, I’m wondering if the wavelength is different?

Becca, sorry about your DQ cheat. Somehow I just can’t get the image (I can’t remember who posted it) of a poopie that looked just like a DQ cone! That’s what they put in blizzards, ya know?!

Sarah, I hope Tanner is feeling better. You look great, BTW!

Liz, are you feeling any better? I’m a little better, but no where near 100%. I’m still so worried I’ll give the bug to Logan…The upside of being sick is the zero appetite, and I’ve lost almost 7 lbs in 3 days! Hopefully it won’t come back, although I don’t seem to have appetite today either—hurts too much to swallow.

Dar, big hugs to you and Rob! Hope you get your fridge/freezer fixed soon! What a nightmare! Logan gets all sweaty in his seat too—I think we have the same ones.

Kjen, crunchy pills Hehehe in Swedish, they say “eat pills” instead of “take” *shrug* While TTC, my prenatals smelled awesome! But once I was preggers, the smell made me gag! I think they were vanilla-ish.

Hi Melissa, Raspberry cheesecake sounds delish. Did you make it yourself? Ditto on the school lunches!

Hi Sherry!

Hi Tracy!

Tiffany, I’ll echo the recommendation for “Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems” by Richard Ferber? Sorry about all the turmoil, try to let it slide. My brother used to bang his head on the wall—for quite a long time as I recall—at night, usually to get to sleep. Instead of sucking his thumb, I guess…very odd, (Ferber addresses this too) but he’s completely normal now!

Hi Wendy, mmmm deviled eggs, I think I’ll have to make some this afternoon! Adding crisp bacon sounds extra yummy, maybe I’ll do that—cleaning lady is coming tomorrow—LOL I hate cleaning up after cooking bacon!

Chelle, did you finish DaVinci Code yet? How’d you like it?

Diedre, good idea for the siggy, I’ll update it Monday

Lauren, hope your day is better tomorrow.

Chels, hows everything?

Hi Trolly!!

Jeffiner, sounds like a fun trip…maybe I hold the baby (although not so much the last few days being sick) too much!

So, Logan said "wuv woo" this morning and I almost died! I'm sure it was a fluke, but I couldn't help but cry! He's also standing on my lap...as in he'd rather stand than sit, and this morning he walked--while I'm holding him of course--up my tummy and chest (I was leaning back in the couch) I also think he's gearing up to roll over from his back to his tummy--he really doesnt care too much for tummy time.

I'll try to check back later!

to everyone!

Sinnrah · 07-20-2005, 07:10 AM

Good Morning girls.

Unfortunately I dont have time for personals.But I wanted to pop in and say hello. And see if you all could keep us in your thoughts. We are getting our results back today.

Take Care

I'll let you know! I wasn't like this at all w/Kendall, and it's depressing! I feel ick!

No weight gained yet for me and this pregnancy...I'm sure I'll make up for it later, as I gained 54 pounds with each of my other 2!

Question for ya'll...are diet sodas that bad while preggo? Like diet caffiene free coke, etc...?? I don't drink much soda, but enjoy them here and there.

I started spotting and I had to have some blood work done to check my growth hormone level. But the spotting has stopped..so hopefully all is well.

I woke up to a freaking 2 lb gain from yesterday...always happens when you have to go to the doctor...

Hope your day is better than your night was!

karatejen · 07-20-2005, 07:32 AM

Good morning everyone!!!

Got to get some work done today....probably be short on posts. I need to develop a way to lock myself off the internet at work until I get something done. The stapling fingers to keyboard like Dar suggested just isn't working

.

Real quick....for Melissa~ I haven't picked any fenugreek up because after TOM came Thurs night, bm production was "normal" on Friday. But was low yesterday and really sucked this morning. How much did taking the fenugreek help? I am assuming that once I start it I pretty much will have to continue to take it so I am putting it off until I have no other choices. I am not in dire straights yet but I want to be prepared because getting to the point of stressing out will just make things worse.

Thanks!

Friendship · 07-20-2005, 07:33 AM

Morning Mommies....

Jen- Sounds like a blast!!!!

Mandy- Hope the CTJ meeting went well.....what was Spencer doing?

Trolly- Get walking girl!!!!

Kiwi- Maybe if you posted what you are eating we could help you? Sometimes there are "hidden" carbs that you might not notice.

Liz- Hope Pudges appointment goes well.

Lauren- I loved those pictures last night, Kendall is doing such a good job living with those braces.

Hey Cyn!

Emily- Hope your errands run smoothly.

Dawn- Yes, good thing you were not around yesterday :-) How are you feeling?

Diedre- Hunter's next appointment is on August 18th I believe...I add his stats to my siggy then. At his last appointment is was 22 or 23 lbs and 32 inches long I believe (I would have to look at his book tonight to verify, but that was 2 months ago).

Martha- I use the Davinci SF Syrup that the girls here introduced me to. I take Beachgirls recipe (I think it is on the recipe board) and instead of putting 1 cup of Spenda, I put in 1 cup of the flavored Syrup. So far, the Raspberry is my least favorite. I should have taken a picture of the color.....doesn't make it look to appatizing.

Tiffany- I'm thinking of you..... How did Emily sleep last night?

Okay, that is everyone up until now...I think....

B- LC Raspberry Cheesecake (3 carbs)
L- LC Seafood Gumbo (5 carbs)
D- Spinach, bacon, onion, pepper, cheese quiche (? Carbs)

Let me tell you I am starting to get tired of eating the cheesecake and gumbo.....but my new goal for the house is to not throw as much food away to conserve money.

Good news is that Hunter actually slept thru the night last night!!!!

babyblue26062 · 07-20-2005, 07:35 AM

Hi Mommies-

Dawn- sorry about the acne- yuck.

Jefinner- sounds like you had a great time. I am lucky Jessica has a lot of kids her own age to play with- she is also a social butterfly. Her favorite person in the world is my cousin's daughter Hannah- Everyday she tells me how she misses Hannah-

Holly- I get up at 5:00 to get showered/work out and ready for work before my kids get up. On the weekends I feel like I get to really sleep in until 7:00-

- and this is from a person whom used to like to sleep until 11:00 in the morning.

Cherly- I hear you- I am frustrated with the scale this week also-

Liz- Interesting about the couple trying to win the wedding. Isn't Bangor where Stephen King lives?

Cyn- Hi hon. How life treating you?

Martha- Thank god I am not the only one who doens't understand what that means- LOL! I see you made your first goal - great job!

Hi Chells, Mandy, Emily and anyone else!

BBl-
K

babyblue26062 · 07-20-2005, 07:38 AM

Hi Melissa- great job hunter!!

Hi Lauren, Tiffany, Wendy and K-Jen-

Jessica was sick yesterday- Had a fever/headache - she is doing much better today- I hate to see her sick.

Ok- I have to get some work done-

wari · 07-20-2005, 07:38 AM

Jen - Sounds like a fun trip for the Anniversary Party! What a great celebration.

Trolly - I do enjoy the time when I wake up before the DD and DS. I can hear DS in his crib, but he is playing so I will let him stay in there for a couple more minutes.

Kiwi - Do you weigh everyday? I stopped doing that because I couldn't handle the fluctuations!

Liz - Good luck at the Dr. appt. That would be neat if the Maine couple won. I don't watch the Today Show - usually too busy getting the kids ready to leave by 7:45.

Cyn - Hi There!

Emily - Hope you have a better day today! Hope Reilly has a better night tonight!

Boods - Hi There!

Martha - LOL with Logan WuvWoo! I hate cleaning up after bacon too!

Tiffany - Good luck at the appt.!

Lauren - Hope the derm has something for you to use.

Gotta get Cameron! Chat with you later!

Wendy

Friendship · 07-20-2005, 07:39 AM

Okay, I knew there would be chatting while I was typing.

Lauren- I had the occational caffinated diet soda while pregnant with Hunter and he turned out okay.......... If I remember right, Becca had soda all thru her pregnancy in a much larger quantity.

Hi Wendy

KJen- When I started to take it I noticed an increase in 24 hours. I did at one point stop taking it and my milk leveled out and then all of a sudden it went down again and I just stayed taking the 9 pills/day of the fenugreek. I did 3 when I woke up, 3 at lunch, and 3 with dinner. Are you still have TOM? It could still be those hormones....

wari · 07-20-2005, 07:40 AM

Melissa - WooHoo Hunter slept throught the night!

Kristen & Kjen - Hi There!

Wendy

kiwiflower · 07-20-2005, 07:50 AM

I've been eating sort of a modified M/E for over 2 weeks. I was losing about .5 pounds per day up until last week when TOM arrived. It's gone now but didn't take any extra weight with it. My menu yesterday was:
B - 1 med. boiled egg, water
L - thin-sliced ham (4 very thin slices) dipped in dijon mustard, diet rite
D - homemade chicken fajitas, sour cream, guacamole, no tortillas, diet rite

Today's menu will probably be close to that. I haven't had breakfast yet because I'm not hungry.

Maybe it's because I ate a half jar of pickles yesterday. I had the most amazing craving for sweet pickles, couldn't be stopped. Jen--Sounds like a blast! I'm glad the kids did so well. mandy--What happened? hi chels

My weight has been stuck on the same stupid number ever since last Tuesday. I cannot get it to budge no matter what I do. Every time it's done this in the past I've said what the heck and given up. But now I want to bust this number! I'm so tired of seeing it every morning! I hate how the scale dictates my mood for the day.

Dena, sorry about your housing worries. What a pain. I really hope everything works out easily for you. How sweet to send those cute clothes to Mandy & Spencer! My first period started Monday (more than 12 weeks post partum) an its amazingly light…I usually had light ones too, haven’t noticed any cramps, but have been loaded on Tylenol & Motrin for the flu…sorry about your sheet. Emily, wow, Riley is a chunk! How big is he? He and Logan are only a month a part…Logan was 14lbs last time we weighed him, that was at 11 weeks. Saw your next post…Great pics! He can really push himself up! Which monitor did you use in Germany? I’m using a US one on batteries, and the sound is awful, I’m wondering if the wavelength is different? Becca, sorry about your DQ cheat. Somehow I just can’t get the image (I can’t remember who posted it) of a poopie that looked just like a DQ cone! That’s what they put in blizzards, ya know?! Sarah, I hope Tanner is feeling better. You look great, BTW! Liz, are you feeling any better? I’m a little better, but no where near 100%. I’m still so worried I’ll give the bug to Logan…The upside of being sick is the zero appetite, and I’ve lost almost 7 lbs in 3 days! Hopefully it won’t come back, although I don’t seem to have appetite today either—hurts too much to swallow. Dar, big hugs to you and Rob! Hope you get your fridge/freezer fixed soon! What a nightmare! Logan gets all sweaty in his seat too—I think we have the same ones. Kjen, crunchy pills Hehehe in Swedish, they say “eat pills” instead of “take” shrug While TTC, my prenatals smelled awesome! But once I was preggers, the smell made me gag! I think they were vanilla-ish. Hi Melissa, Raspberry cheesecake sounds delish. Did you make it yourself? Ditto on the school lunches! Hi Sherry! Hi Tracy! Tiffany, I’ll echo the recommendation for “Solve Your Child’s Sleep Problems” by Richard Ferber? Sorry about all the turmoil, try to let it slide. My brother used to bang his head on the wall—for quite a long time as I recall—at night, usually to get to sleep. Instead of sucking his thumb, I guess…very odd, (Ferber addresses this too) but he’s completely normal now! Hi Wendy, mmmm deviled eggs, I think I’ll have to make some this afternoon! Adding crisp bacon sounds extra yummy, maybe I’ll do that—cleaning lady is coming tomorrow—LOL I hate cleaning up after cooking bacon! Chelle, did you finish DaVinci Code yet? How’d you like it? Diedre, good idea for the siggy, I’ll update it Monday Lauren, hope your day is better tomorrow. Chels, hows everything? Hi Trolly!! Jeffiner, sounds like a fun trip…maybe I hold the baby (although not so much the last few days being sick) too much! So, Logan said "wuv woo" this morning and I almost died! I'm sure it was a fluke, but I couldn't help but cry! He's also standing on my lap...as in he'd rather stand than sit, and this morning he walked--while I'm holding him of course--up my tummy and chest (I was leaning back in the couch) I also think he's gearing up to roll over from his back to his tummy--he really doesnt care too much for tummy time. I'll try to check back later! to everyone!

Friendship Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 3,878 Gallery: Friendship	Morning Mommies.... Jen- Sounds like a blast!!!! Mandy- Hope the CTJ meeting went well.....what was Spencer doing? Trolly- Get walking girl!!!! Kiwi- Maybe if you posted what you are eating we could help you? Sometimes there are "hidden" carbs that you might not notice. Liz- Hope Pudges appointment goes well. Lauren- I loved those pictures last night, Kendall is doing such a good job living with those braces. Hey Cyn! Emily- Hope your errands run smoothly. Dawn- Yes, good thing you were not around yesterday :-) How are you feeling? Diedre- Hunter's next appointment is on August 18th I believe...I add his stats to my siggy then. At his last appointment is was 22 or 23 lbs and 32 inches long I believe (I would have to look at his book tonight to verify, but that was 2 months ago). Martha- I use the Davinci SF Syrup that the girls here introduced me to. I take Beachgirls recipe (I think it is on the recipe board) and instead of putting 1 cup of Spenda, I put in 1 cup of the flavored Syrup. So far, the Raspberry is my least favorite. I should have taken a picture of the color.....doesn't make it look to appatizing. Tiffany- I'm thinking of you..... How did Emily sleep last night? Okay, that is everyone up until now...I think.... B- LC Raspberry Cheesecake (3 carbs) L- LC Seafood Gumbo (5 carbs) D- Spinach, bacon, onion, pepper, cheese quiche (? Carbs) Let me tell you I am starting to get tired of eating the cheesecake and gumbo.....but my new goal for the house is to not throw as much food away to conserve money. Good news is that Hunter actually slept thru the night last night!!!!

Jefinner- sounds like you had a great time. I am lucky Jessica has a lot of kids her own age to play with- she is also a social butterfly. Her favorite person in the world is my cousin's daughter Hannah- Everyday she tells me how she misses Hannah- Holly- I get up at 5:00 to get showered/work out and ready for work before my kids get up. On the weekends I feel like I get to really sleep in until 7:00- - and this is from a person whom used to like to sleep until 11:00 in the morning. Cherly- I hear you- I am frustrated with the scale this week also- Liz- Interesting about the couple trying to win the wedding. Isn't Bangor where Stephen King lives? Cyn- Hi hon. How life treating you? Martha- Thank god I am not the only one who doens't understand what that means- LOL! I see you made your first goal - great job! Hi Chells, Mandy, Emily and anyone else!

What a great celebration. Trolly - I do enjoy the time when I wake up before the DD and DS. I can hear DS in his crib, but he is playing so I will let him stay in there for a couple more minutes. Kiwi - Do you weigh everyday? I stopped doing that because I couldn't handle the fluctuations! Liz - Good luck at the Dr. appt. That would be neat if the Maine couple won. I don't watch the Today Show - usually too busy getting the kids ready to leave by 7:45. Cyn - Hi There! Emily - Hope you have a better day today! Hope Reilly has a better night tonight! Boods - Hi There! Martha - LOL with Logan WuvWoo! I hate cleaning up after bacon too! Tiffany - Good luck at the appt.! Lauren - Hope the derm has something for you to use. Gotta get Cameron! Chat with you later! Wendy __________________ Mom to Madison (7/26/99) and Cameron (8/25/04)!!!!

Friendship Very Gabby LCF Member!!! Join Date: Aug 2004 Posts: 3,878 Gallery: Friendship	Okay, I knew there would be chatting while I was typing. Lauren- I had the occational caffinated diet soda while pregnant with Hunter and he turned out okay.......... If I remember right, Becca had soda all thru her pregnancy in a much larger quantity. Hi Wendy KJen- When I started to take it I noticed an increase in 24 hours. I did at one point stop taking it and my milk leveled out and then all of a sudden it went down again and I just stayed taking the 9 pills/day of the fenugreek. I did 3 when I woke up, 3 at lunch, and 3 with dinner. Are you still have TOM? It could still be those hormones....

kiwiflower Senior LCF Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Posts: 150 Gallery: kiwiflower Stats: too big/big/comfortable WOE: low carb Start Date: March 2005	I've been eating sort of a modified M/E for over 2 weeks. I was losing about .5 pounds per day up until last week when TOM arrived. It's gone now but didn't take any extra weight with it. My menu yesterday was: B - 1 med. boiled egg, water L - thin-sliced ham (4 very thin slices) dipped in dijon mustard, diet rite D - homemade chicken fajitas, sour cream, guacamole, no tortillas, diet rite Today's menu will probably be close to that. I haven't had breakfast yet because I'm not hungry.
