Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted April 16, 2008 My grandson is expected to make his entrance into this world at around 3 am. DD did so well in labor. It hurt me so much to see her in so much pain. They finally gave her an epidural at around 11pm. She is probably going to be able to get a little bit of sleep. Not me! I have insomnia anyway, so there is no way I could fall asleep now. I came home to let my dog out and give them some time alone before she has to start pushing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Playful Psychic 0 Posted April 16, 2008 Playful - I was a total slug bug - couch potato - HATED exercise of any kind (I think alot of us in our age bracket didn't have PE until like 7th or 8 th grade - plus those ugly gym suits - these are the reasons I give for not wanting to exercise) But you do have to carve out sometime for excercise - you really do - get up 1/2 hr earlier - walk in place as you are watching tv - get some hand weights and use them as you watch t.v. too - I know you don't paint your nails EVERY night - or the mask - get your daughter involved - go for walks on the weekends - you can fit it it - you just have to start.. Once you do - you won't hate it as much - I can't say I am a gym rat by any means - but I do now go 3-4 days a week sometimes 5 - and if I don't go i sort of miss it - but I still have fights with myself to make me go... You know, the part of my brain that actually controls THINKING, knows you are right. I could do more and I should do more. I will try harder, I promise!

I bet by now your are :confused: CONGRATULATIONS Let us know all the info - time - weight - length etc Can't wait to hear :biggrin2: I have had my second fill today I now have 7ml how do you know when you hit the sweet spot ? E]E] It's very individual - Some have restriction with no fill - some on 1 or 2 some at 10 - It depends on your body. It can take a day or 2 for the fill to settle in - sometime 2 weeks :wink: The band is a very fickle items - it's diff for all of us.. No Pat answers Sorry You know, the part of my brain that actually controls THINKING, knows you are right. I could do more and I should do more. I will try harder, I promise! Playful Power of positive thinking - that the word TRY OUT of your vocabulary and insert the word WILL - If you think you can you will if you think you can't you won't.. :thumbup: This is my motto :biggrin2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phyllser 3 Posted April 16, 2008 I have had my second fill today I now have 7ml how do you know when you hit the sweet spot ? E]E] Hi, Good question... like Janet says, no pat answer, but general guidelines... you're not "grazing" for food between meals, satisfied with a "bandster" portion, losing weight consistently. My doctor's recommendation... if you haven't lost anything for several weeks, hungry between meals, eating too much, then you're probably not "tight" enough yet.

tapshoes 2 Posted April 17, 2008 Congratulations! Enjoy this child, and this time of your life. My DH has decided that when/if his daughters produce off-spring he will NOT be grampa or any such a thing. He will be Dad the sequel. Vanity, thy name is...

thin2bme 2 Posted April 17, 2008 Congrats on the grandbaby. I have to say that I'm a grandma to my step-daughter's little girl who is now 3 years old and I love it. The only thing better that could happen would be for my son and his wife of 6 years to have one of their own, but regardless I love em all to death. Enjoy being a grandmother, it's awesome!!
