Another Snowy Day

I went to see the OB this am and had an ultrasound. The baby is estimated to be about 5 pounds 5 ounces, same as Joey was at 37 weeks, so the baby will be about a 7 pound baby. Joey called the image on the ultrasound machine a puppy, I hope not!!

I ma 50% effaced, which is great news since I had to have cervadril before the petossin since my cervix was not softened at all. I may go to a shop in Worcester to buy this cream cheese that woman for years have sworn brings on labor or I may make this eggplant parm from a recipe that is used in a restaurant down south that women swear brings on labor, will have to wait and see.

After the Dr's Joey took a 3 hour nap, since we had no mommymuscle sculpt. Then he ate pasta and it was a two handed feat ---

it has been a fun snowy day, which ended with Daddy Jamming on his new guitar for the x-box, an early b-day p resent, one he deserved after dealing with the snow again. I hope we can get out tomorrow.

StrollerFit and The Bump

Tonight you would all be amazed, I am blogging at 12:38, not because I could not sleep but because Cindy (The Waltham SF Owner) and I went to an event and I did not get home til after 10, so I was not asleep at 7:30 and I am wide awake. Hoping to fall asleep soon.....

anyway we went to a networking event for a website and a baby book called "The Bump" created by the same people who have the knot website for weddings. "The bump" deals with pregnancy and the babies first year. I am excited that they will be bringing a book to the Boston Metro Area in May and Hope to see StrollerFit in the book and on the website. Maybe it will bring more business.

I am getting tired, off to bed I go, hoping to not wake up to snow tomorrow, but the forecast tells me otherwise and so far this season they may have been wrong about the amount of snow each storm has brought they have been correct when they have said we are getting snow....

It was a tie

Last Friday, Scott had my car and I took his to the mechanic. It was to be done at 11, but at 11 it had not even been started, so I had Danielle teach for me. This turned out to be a good thing, Joey is teething and went down for a 3.5 hr nap when we would have been at class. I heard from everyone in the class that Danielle taught a great class that was fun and energized. Thank you Danielle.

Then Drea and Jayce came to play, since Joey was asleep, Jayce got to play with lots of fun toys. Toys Joey has not played with for months and now they are out and he is using them again as if he has never seen them before.

As I previously wrote, Scott and I went on a date night. The weekend was uneventful. Baby moved a lot and Joey had fun putting his hands on my belly and feeling the movement. He kept telling me the baby was hot. I ate very spicy chili on made on Sunday hoping to bring on labor, no such luck, so 3 weeks to go.

I tallied the 2nd to last week of the schedule your workout challenge and it was a tie between

Drea and Danielle.

With one week to go it is still any one's game for the grand prize. On Friday I will announce the heart healthy challenge.

Date Night

Scott and I had a date tonight, first one with a sitter instead of grandma or an Auntie watching Joey. He loves Lauren. Before we left Scott tried to read to Joey and all he wanted to do was be with Lauren. That made me comfortable leaving him, he does see Lauren every saturday am during Restore the Core, but I am in the building this was different.

We went to Piccolo's Italian Restaurant and the food was amazing. I will need to exercise a lot this week to work off the food. One of the customers sang happy birthday to a stranger and happy anniversary to another couple. I hear he does this all the time. Scott said look"Dinner and a show"

All and All it was a great night, off to bed I go, 2 hours late, maybe I wil sleep til 7.

Breakfast, StrollerFit and Sleep

With less than 4 weeks to go and I have had the oddest feeling about the changes about to happen.,,

First of all I love breakfast food, always had and can eat eats for dinner anytime. For the last few months my breakfast has been shared, no matter what I have eaten Joey must have a "bite peeas." Earlier this week, I made hot cereal, I ate one bite he finished it, so I made another bowl which I proceeded to feed Joey and the same thing happened to the third bowl. Some days he is a bottomless pit and I wonder where he puts it. Since the baby is sitting so high, most days Joey eating my breakfast is just fine because after 3 bites I am full, I just wonder how this will work after the baby.

Strollerfit - classes are going well and Joey is all about KayKay who was not in class yesterday. Every time the door opened, he would say KayKay. Hew finally got over it when he got to run with the boys and play. Today we are due for a heat wave 40 degrees and KayKay and others are coming to play in the snow, so we shall see what happens...

I am writing this at 4:30 and those that know me are thinking she has been up for a while and about to go back to sleep. And last week they would have been right, for months I have been asleep by 8 up at 2 and back to bed around 4 til Joey gets up with a nap in the afternoon while Joey naps. This week it has changed, still asleep by 8, but now I am sleeping til at least 4, getting up to get a drink, play for a bit on the computer and going back to sleep til Joey gets up. Maybe next week I can sleep til Joey gets up. Wouldn't that be nice, get a straight 10 hours until the baby comes and I get none,

Off to bed I go and then back to the routine - Share breakfast with Joey, StrollerFit and a nap.
