Oh wow, I really missed a lot in the past few days. But I did it! I read through EVERYTHING!
Allie, I think the girls have given you some great advice about weight loss. I became addicted to the app “My Fitness Pal” It lets you enter the food you eat and it counts your calories for the day. You can also enter the exercise you’ve done and it will calculate that into your daily calorie goal. It really helps you see what you are eating and how many calories are in things. It might not be as easy to do with a baby, but it really helped me.
Nato, you and I eat very similar things. I’ve never been a big sugar person. But I do love fresh fruit, beans, veggies. Mmmmm. Like Vicky, cheese can be a downfall for me if I’m not careful. I’ve never met a cheese I didn’t like. Aside from wine/alcohol, the only thing I ever drink is water and green tea. I do love sparkling water with lemon or lime. Soda is evil.
Vicky, sorry I missed Electra’s anniversary. And I’m extra sorry someone decided to make the day harder for you with stupid comments. I don’t know what he said, but I always find it interesting how people expect us to “forget” or “move on” from our losses. Especially if you end up having living children. I don’t think that trauma and grief ever leave us. People just don’t get that. My mother is friends with a woman in her 70’s. She was telling this friend about my losses and the woman shared that she had 6 miscarriages. She has 3 living children, but she said she is still affected by those losses. It never goes away. On a separate note, can I just tell you how much I admire your ability to keep the party going. I love looking at your FB pics. You give me hope that mommyhood doesn’t mean I can’t have a good time!
Jen, I think the ladies gave you great advice. I wish Paul was being more understanding. You sound really down right now. I know how hard this pregnancy has been for you. The last thing you need to be worrying about is your marriage. I’m not sure I have any great advice for you. Men are different creatures. But I’m sending you massive hugs.
Lucy, you look gorgeous in that dress. OMG! What a stunner!
Hoping, I’m loving all the FB photos and videos. You have such a cutie pie.
No news from me. My contractions have settled down, but I still get them every day. I read that the more BH you have, the faster the labor because your uterus is getting exercise. If that’s the case, my uterus should be in the Olympics! I swear it’s the most fit uterus on the planet.
