Oh, FP and IG, no fun on the no-sleepies! FP, you are one brave lady for contemplating Santa.

Well, the vibes were received...little Amelia was delivered by emergency c-section this am. 5 pounds, 4 oz, mom and baby both doing well. Yay!

Hoping she has a really easy day. I was induced at 38 weeks with really high BP (luckily not preeclampsia) but spent from 35 weeks on back and forth at the hospital while they decided when to induce. They just needed to break my water and I was ready to roll (didn't need pitocin at all) and was don...

Two nights in a row of sleeping through the night. :shock: Of course, it didn't happen on its own, we worked for it. Hooray for sleep! I must confess, I am dreading the constant wake-ups once kiddo 2.0 arrives...It was a looooooong haul before A was a consistently good sleeper. Oh, and since postin...

How big are our girls? V is about 24lb (at 21 months) and still wears some 12 month pants :lol: . She is mostly in 18-24m clothes, though. At 23 months, Alex is just over 30 pounds and super tall. She's pretty much outgrown her 3T clothes, so 4T here we come! I guess this is what happens when 5&quo...

I'm here and I'm running! Max 5-6k two or three times a week, but hey, at 29 weeks preggo, I'll take it! Definitely getting stared at now, though. :D I'm the first to admit I ain't exactly poetry in motion these days. This is the longest I've run into a pregnancy; with Alex I stopped at 28 weeks b/c...

Where is my preggo buddy JLA? i spotted her and hubby out running with the stroller along the canal a couple of weeks ago, so i know she's out there! I'm aliiiiiiive! Well, mostly. Just had a big conference in MTL followed by a huge post-doc application, so things have been...busy. Plus hubby''s jo...

Hip hip hooray for all the Hot Racing Mamas! Wow, wow, wow. And for the Hot Race-Ready Mamas (SHG, AndyM, who else did I miss?) cranking out the mega-mileage. As for the #2 peer pressure, I actually sort of felt the opposite. Maybe this is just the peculiar bias of academia, but by in large I've bee...

Actually, that's what got me in this mess in the first place!

Argh, M & G falls smack in the middle of the kiddo's nap - but I will try! Also Carla...I live down the street from Marg. So if a race-day visit looks unlikely, we might be able to catch up on Saturday, depending on your plans. Girls' trip to get race kits, maybe?

I tried to find a post about it but couldn't!! Ou est le M & G thread?

CinC wrote:Congrats to both of you! JLA - I'll be at the Army Half - so i wanna see you!

Yesssssss! Switching to the 5 also gives me more time to cheer for you! Is there a M & G planned?

Irongirl wrote:cool! you were definitely asking about having two kids, so, your announcement didn't shock me!

so, how far apart will the kiddos be?

Yep, plus I'm old, so it was time to get on with it! They will be just over 2 years apart - 26 months, to be precise. Same gap as D & D, no?

PS- I *was* pregnant when I bowed out of Marg's wine party....Ladies, fyi, in the future if you ever hear me decline wine, that means I'm pregnant.

So, due dates, ladies?! JLA - you weren't pregnant when you were here then, were you?! Nope! Well, unless you count the first two weeks of pregnancy when you're not actually pregnant yet. :wink: If we're using that math, I was also "pregnant" when I ran the Ottawa half! I'm due Feb. 25, r...

I guess it's pretty much out now that I am expecting #2. Yaaaaaaay!!! And, oh yeah, me too! :D Hurray for the rush of second trimester happy-hormones (hopefully) soon to hit us both...Spending 3 months hating food + almost fainting every time you stand up= not exactly happyfuntimes. AFM, I have of ...

JLA- it is not looking good for you when her first sentence is about nipples. Trust me (from one body-parkt-lovin-child momma to another), we are on a big "I have a little penis, daddy has a big penis, mommy and Marianne have 'ginas. Mommy, do you pee out your 'gina?" kick. Funny, but not...

I am so jealous of all the moms who have toddlers with words! Today, John shoved away his breakfast, and didn't want any of the food I offered, nor did he want down. He just kept crying and shaking his head. Turns out he wanted a hug. Aw, this makes my heart hurt! But I bet you are a master of figu...

Sweat moustache! Love it! :lol: Lightning, so glad to hear you're liking pseudo mat-leave, though @ 16 mos (right?) I bet I isn't giving you too restful a holiday! jes, I too have a treadmill, but can't seem to muster the energy to dig it out from under a pile of Alex's "only while supervised&q...

Just checking in to give mad props to all you HRMs of singles and multiples, working, training and mommying, and just generally being superheroes every livelong day! You gals are so inspiring - thank you! The heat wave totally killed my running last week, so I'm especially in awe of those who stuck ...

Hammie, how was your race?? HRM inquiring minds want to know!

Okay, I just saw your RR...Amazing job!!!

She's not a maniac, so there's no race report forthcoming, but the white skirt can be viewed (pre-puke) in my ORW album on FB! Jesse - I saw Team Meatball a little too late; I was on the opposite side of the road, hence the Charlotte-missing. You guys were delightfully loud, though! So, for those wh...

I'm happy with my race, even if I slowed somewhat in the second half. Chip time was 1:47:54, a PPPB by just over 2 minutes. I thought I might be able to chase down the 1:45 bunny, but it wasn't meant to be today. I should count myself lucky that I had such an uneventful run, though...a friend who c...

And got a high-5 from JLA during the half! :-) Great weekend of running all around - congrats HRMs! Thanks, HR Auntie extraordinaire!! It was a huge boost seeing you guys...yes, even creepy creepy Orangeman. But how in the world did I miss Jesse and delicious lil Charlotte?? I loved, loved, loved t...

Let's say Wednesday May 25th - at my place. we have gymboree at 12:15 if Dexter is awake - so, i'll kick you out at 12 - again, if dexter is awake. :) i will supply coffee, but, i don't do very good at supplying baked goods, so, i can't guarantee much in the way of food.....you can arrive any time ...

we're free weekends in june. i could host a "baby GTG" before that though - next tuesday afternoon or wednesday morning works well for me (although, i'm trying to redeem my mother's day pedicure - hopefully I'll know tomorrow when it is....) We'd be in for that! Us too, I think! (Assuming...
