A friend told me (on a particularly bad day for me) "You spend your pregnancy worrying that you will never love another person as much as you love your first child, and then spend the first few months of your new baby's life trying to remind yourself that you love your first child" :lol: ...

Lightning, how did 'sauga go? I miss the GTA(ish) mommies and babies...should have another maniac baby gathering soon :) Agreed!! Although I assume that since some of you are working now, we'll have to do an evening or weekend. I'm happy to host if you ladies and babies want to come over. What timi...

One time, they even carried Timmy to the seat for me and buckled him in. weird, when I worked at WJ they told us that we weren't allowed to hold people's babies... too much risk of liability and/or allegations I guess. :( I was surprised too, but I really appreciated it. It was when I took them to ...

I wish that I was. We're at the cottage until tomorrow morning otherwise I would be there cheering!

Fishpants - If you look a little bit frazzled the whole time (and possibly on the verge of tears), lots of people will offer you assistance. That's what I learned about traveling with the kids. I have traveled with John...I try to look helpless! Although, noone helped me in Kelowna when I was tryin...

Wow - everyone seems to be doing pretty well. That's great. I'm jealous of the Mississauga runners - until I look outside and see the pouring rain. Then I feel better about not running tomorrow!! :D Lightning - good luck on a new pb. Kick some butt. Ironcoll- I hope that everyone feels completely be...

Are you looking for paths? Or to do some trail running? If it's the first - then the link that BJH posted is your best bet. The Etobicoke creek trail is my favourite, but on a super long run, you can run all three depending on where you start. If you want actual trail running, the only place that I ...

Have a great mother's day everyone! My kids honoured me by waking up before dawn for snuggles. And I had a breakfast date with Timmy which was nice. Pts - a treadmill is an awesome gift - hurray!!

We didn't really want baby stuff, either, but I understand the desire that people have to celebrate babies, or birthdays, or other events with something. When I had Hamster #1, there were several of us at work who were expecting around the same time. All of us had good jobs, supportive significant ...

I find that people feel the need to bring something so the concept of bringing soemthing for charity seems to be more successful in my experience. Pts, if I were you, I wouldn't take a gift. Invite said no gifts!

I'm finding the carrier to be a lifesaver in general, as it allows me two free hands when Damon is feeling snuggly! Tomorrow is my first day by myself with two kids. My mom doesn't get here until Friday. Any tips appreciated. I will be taking them to Grandma's (my MIL), but it is getting both of th...

Excited for all of those with fall running goals!!!! AFM - I'm back to walking and so excited! We went for two twenty minute walks on the weekend (9 and 10 days post section) and it felt SO good to get outside. We did just over half an hour today in the sunshine break between rainstorms - I am lovi...

Sweet!!

Sounds like a good day Pts!! Would you have ever said with G that having "just" one baby at home would be a relaxing day? :lol: Sounds like a good decision to wait on the running. And I hear you on the weight - I'm still working on getting back to my prebaby weight. At this point (10.5 mon...

I won't be running (boo!!) but I have a full registration that is yours if you want it.

I'm jealous. But we would NOT have been good company today!

So cute! I can't believe that they are a year already!

V pretty much quit nursing when she was sick last week. She might take an occasional middle of the night boob :roll: , but otherwise is refusing. I am totally fine with it and glad that it was her decision. But, I just put all of my nursing tops away and realized that I have nothing to wear :lol: T...

well, I just missed an HRM encounter today - hopefully next time, Kristi!! :) Lightning - you are so going to rock this weekend - whatever "rock" means to you! A weekend away will be fabulous, and yes, you'll miss him WAY more then he'll miss you...but, the reunion will be worth it. You T...

Yikes Anners, sounds rough. A car ride can do wonders for your sanity if V is good in the car. It at least gets you out and helps to defer your mental breakdown. This is how I avoid going crazy when one or both kids are not feeling the best. Hopefully everyone gets better soon!

Good job running everyone! With the nice weather now here, I'm itching to run again and I think that I'm getting closer to being painfree so I just need to be patient a little longer (hopefully!). AndyM - I think that everyone hits that point in marathon training. Now is the time to just get it done...

I would love for Brampton to have a race, but that route is strange to me. It's either a LOT of road/intersection closures, or lots of racers stopping for traffic. Lots of crossing of major roads. The trail is nice and standard bike path width so depending on numbers, it could be crowded at the begi...

Thoughts and prayers going out to that family today. yikes.

Did you make it to daycare pickup in time anners?
