Ttly reminded me of this article when you said weights Amelia, saw it on the news the other night. Pretty crazy lol
 
holy crap, Morgan! that is nuts! I would never be comfortable lifting like that well pregnant! what if the weight slipped. eeeeks.

I was told no high impact, and to keep HR under 140 while preggo. but, if your body is used to it, you have a bit more wiggle room.
 
hm, i will have to think about this. do some research. i spin 3x a week and lift 1x per week. i will make sure to wear my hr monitor tonight to spinning and see how i feel.
 
I've been cross fitting a bit on and off for a few years - I don't think I'll get to that point with this preg - afterwards for sure... but it is important to me to keep moving because exercise is incredible for my mood and keeping my thyroid in control.

I suspect that I'll end up doing more Zumba (because dancing is awesome + really good at the end to move baby into a good position) and TRX/cable type stuff so that I don't have a situation where my hips give out.

Mirolee - everything I've read said that as long as you were this active before, it's ok to be this active during with the caveat - LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.

Last night I stopped when I felt out of breath and I couldn't do a lot of the jumps because my boobs were KILLING me so I did lower impact stuff instead. I was pleased to see that my HR stayed stable throughout most of it.

PS for those of you keen to do dancing... I worked for this woman (I edited and story produced her video on her website... I didn't shoot it or do the interview - both of which are shit because the producer was hopeless... I just did the story edit... so if you see an interview with her talking about her business that's my work) https://www.maternaldance.com

Anyway - Suzanne is kind of awesome and I'm probably going to do her DVD series.
 
haha, funny you say that, since i feel like my only true limitation right now is my boobs! i was doing plyo today and was like, "i cant handle the pain!" - so i marched in place instead. then felt stupid 'cause the instructor was like, "c'mon over there! pick it up!". might need to up it to 2 sports bras.
thanks for the advice everyone!
 
Called my short term disability provider today. They cover for 3 months including the maternity leave. So, that puts me at about 30 weeks being able to take off and get paid through the end of the year. Luckily what they pay is about what I make a month anyway, so it shouldn't put us in too difficult of a situation. DW already agreed, if I go out earlier, then I go out earlier and we'll manage. Feeling much better about it now...just wish I could take off now! lol
 
I was doing bikram yoga before Preggo-obviousllllyyy a no-no! I miss it, but love my prenatal yoga too!

I was very active though and doc said nothing over 140 for HR, no high impact jumping kinda movement and that I have to be on an incline for stuff on my back starting second trimester.

I bought a summer sanders prenatal workout DVD that I love, uses a stability ball and resistance bands and I definitely feel it!
 
We got a crib today. Super exciting! Also decided on a paint color! And we are moving a matching bookshelf into the baby room from our living room. It will look awesome in there. Just have to get a dresser and we will be set! Already have a recliner in there in place of a glider. I got some more clothes today too. This girl is going to be stylin!

We set up our Christmas tree tonight too. Note my new avatar ^^^
I think time is about to start flying by!
 
What color are you doing Rachel?? We are doing gray and lilac. I think you're right that times going to start flying!!

I got my haul in the mail from Carter's Black Friday sale today, and the registry is like 90% done! All so exciting!! :)

This is our bedding we registered for at pottery barn

I'm OBSESSED with that ornament!
 
i spun it up tonight - as your advice, i wore my hr monitor, and tried to keep it under control. it did get up to about 160, but i felt ok, and since i've been active i think it's probably ok. i will keep wearing it, and definitely be aware of how i'm feeling - not just the normal "i'm just working really hard" exertion.
oh, and we BD tonight (do we still call it that?) - it's strange to not have to record it any more. and my libido is still jacked up. i wish i could still get OH to commit to EOD still ;) (um, is this in the tmi realm, or am i still doing ok?)
 
Haha I love it too. When I went home a few weeks ago we went to Bronners which is a year long Christmas store and they have a gazillion ornaments. Got it there.

We are painting it a minty green/blue and doing green, blue and fushia. With whimsical owls.

Here's our bedding

Link to my preggo journal is in my siggy if any of you would like to follow ;) I post a bit more in there so I don't bombard anyone with my ridiculousness lol.
 
Kara-love the bedding and colors! We are doing gray and turquoise with blue accents for baby boy and purple accents for baby girl. After our 20 week scan we will complete our registry...
What cribs are you girls getting?
