View MAMAMARTINEZ's food & exercise for this day
No gain, no gain, no gain, no gain, no gaaaaaaaiiiiiiin! Ok, you have to imagine that in a robust vibrato singing voice. Had an OB appt. yesterday (obviously), and I was up ZERO pounds. I was so relieved. I know it seems silly, but I feel like I can breathe a little easier knowing that the weight gain seems to have slowed down. So, here's where we stand:
1) I'm up 32 lbs. with 3 1/2 weeks to go.
2) He did an internal exam, and there's nothin' really going on in that department.
3) The nursery is 90% finished. As soon as the bunk beds arrive, we can officially move little girl into big girl's room and finish the last little bit for baby.
4) My sister is driving out here, on her own, on Monday. That in itself is a big deal, since she hasn't done this in three years (since her accident). She had been driving the freeways around her house and feels like she is ready to make the trip. If she does have a panic attack and can't finish the drive, a friend and I ware going to go pick her up.
5) She is going to help me get my guest bedroom (which has been a staging area for Christmas/baby preparations) and my laundry/craft room/office cleaned up and organized. We will then have a cleanin crew come in for one last big house clean before the baby comes.
6) I am getting really tired of fighting, whining, and mess making. I guess I should have thought about that before I had a bunch of kids.
Ok, so now that I've written it all down, it seems pretty boring. Our big plans for tonight are to make poopcorn after dinner and watch Kung Fu Panda with the girlies. I hope you all have a fun, relaxing, and safe New Year's!
P.S. - The big girl got a set of golf clubs from my uncle for Christmas. The pic is her trying them out.

You gave me good advice: relaxing with the boys. I read it too late! I spent the entire morning cleaning, cleaning, cleaning. OMG I am so exhausted. But i have to say, I feel good that the house is clean.
:) Now, I'll RELAX! I promise. And yes, one minute went by...and that's one minute closer!!!!

Hey Steph,
:hi:. I'm adding your blog as a favorite so you might see me around more 
:evil:
Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day
Anyways you asked about the Wii fit ... I love the Wii fit! There are several games on there which you know is providing you exercise but it doesn't feel like exercise.
I try to get in 30 minutes of exercise a day. 10 minutes is at least on the Wii. I don't want all of my exercise on it because I want to make sure I am doing a variety but 10 minutes on the Wii goes by so much faster than 10 minutes on the treadmill.

I won't know if I gained or not. I am boycotting the scale. Period. I am not getting on. They can send me to jail in contempt of court. WHATEVER!!! Thanks for the encouragement. Doctor's appointment this afternoon. Just hoping the internal exam can spark labor. YES, I can relate to coming apart at every joint.
:cross2: The PT says I'm "hyper mobile" due to the pregnancy. Joints are just slip sliding away in there. NICE!!!! Pray for me!!!! I'll pray for you!!! When is your due date again. I know I asked you like a thousand times. I won't ask again after this time. (promise).

I second the pictures of the nursery. Forgive me if you've talked about this but did you find out what you're having? If so, what?
:tongue10: Your sister is a saint for helping with all of that stuff, I wish someone had done that with me!!! And good for her getting over her anxiety. What a great sis!

Steph...you have done GREAT with the weight gain! I gained 50 lbs with my son and it was AWFUL...you will be able to lose it easy when you get the sweet little angel home and are running your tail off with the children! Your list sounds doable and it truly sounds like you are in "nesting" form! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Vicki
