View MAMAMARTINEZ's food & exercise for this day
A new item for the list:
11) I have a fabulous group of friends and family to suport me. They are offering to babysit my girls s I can rest, make us food, clean my house, and even go grocery shopping for me. I am truly blessed!
In the interest of surviving what could possibly be the next few weeks, I am going to focus on the positive rather than the cornucopia o' discomforts that is my life right now. Here is a list:
1) I am going to get to meet my baby soon!
2) I can finally start working on getting this weight off soon!
3) Kissing my husband again.
4) Having sex (A LOT) without feeling like some sort of prehistoric bohemuth.
5) I will be able to brush my teeth without gagging again.
6) I will soon be on the road to having my own body back (ok, that won't be for another year or so when I am done nursing, but I can still look forward to it).
7) Getting in a good, sweaty, strenuous workout. It has been soooo long. I really miss that.
8) Seeing my girls get to meet their little brother for the first time.
9) My friend, Heather, is arranging for people to bring us meals for the first few weeks. It is always fun to have dinner be a surprise and magically appear without having to do any work or spend any money.
10) Nursing burns 500 extra calories a day!
Ok, that's it for now. My sisters are coming today, and one is staying until Wednesday. So, I probably won't be around much until then. I'll be sure to let you all know if there are any developements. Oh, and the nursery is not quite finished yet because the flaky furniture guy is dragging his feet on delivering the girls' bunk bed. Once that is here, I can put on the finishing touches and post some pics. I hope everyone has a great week with their marathon training and baby loving and baby waiting and baby making practice and academic endeavors and job challenges and eating net and exercising and all that jazz.

Oh, can I just copy all of these for my own? What a fantastic perspective - I can identify with all of these wonderful things... especially... okay, I was going to list a few off, but I want them all.

Your group of girlfriends is so great! How nice of them to be so helpful when you need it most. I get so excited for you when I think about your new baby coming soon! Not having to make your dinners will definitely help you I'm sure. Woo hoo on nursing and burning cals!

HA ha! Im sure your hubby won't mind the sex ten times a day. Or at least once a day!!! I'm so with you on all those points!!!! (Except for just one: I don't gag when I brush now. That was only first trimester). My friend called me yesterday. She fessed up that she had taken mineral oil in the morning, had a beer later in the day, and then sex. A few hours later: BINGO! Contractions! I went to pick up the mineral oil (which is similar, I guess, to castor oil), but the pharmacy was out. Besides, I'm not sure I want to go there, ya' know? She said the doc on call got peeved when she told her she'd taken the oil. I guess they don't want us to try to get things going on her own. But perhaps I should try some raspberry leaf tea??? xoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxxoxo. We're gonna rock this baby pushing thing and have our babies in no time. And then we're gonna rock this fat burning and exercise thing and fit into our skinny jeans in no time!!!!
