I need to join a Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants ...

By
In case you haven't seen the Sisterhood movie, there's a pair of pants. Said pants fit all of the four friends despite the widely varying body types.

I need a pair of those pants.

Maternity jeans were feeling lose last Monday so when mother-in-law and I went out shopping I decided to try on jeans. I stuck to sizes 12&14 and tried different kinds on. The problem was that though they fit around the waist the legs were HUMONGOUS. So I decided to wait a while.

Sunday I grew a bit impatient with waiting. Maternity jeans were threatening to fall off so I tried on my old jeans. Actually got them buttoned so I figured I could try on jeans again. Went to Walmart to try on my favorite brand of jeans (I love that my favorite jeans are at Walmart. So cheap ...)

They fit! Well, a size 12 did and it didn't make my legs look like they were swimming.

While I'm on the whole size/weight subject I'm happy to report that Damm weighs in at 176. That's thinner than when I met him (he is SO tickled about that).

The Orclette is getting taller so she hasn't really gained any weight. After yesterday's cookies she might've went up a pound ... (it was a buffet breakfast at church and everytime I turned my back she was scooping up another cookie).

The Miniorc has a double chin now. I think he was meant to be a 10-pounder baby based on the way he chows down. He fits into 3-6 month clothing now and size 2 diapers. Which is good because that's what everyone bought for me.

And my brother-in-law weighs exactly the same as me. He looks like a skinny rail. That's just so wrong ...

But 5 months to put it on, 5 months to take it off (I didn't gain any weight until 4 months into this second pregnancy because of morning sickness).

INSANITY. Day 2.

By
My thoughts on the Plyometric Cardio Circuit? My floor has never looked so appealing. And I never thought I'd be one of the "yellers." In exercise lingo (not another lingo!:) that means you yell when things get hard. Oh bother. Another pun. Anyway, Shaun T's Basketball Drills had me yelling. And grunting as good as those humongo body builders do. And as good as Tim the Tool Man Taylor:) Damm's thoughts were that he didn't push as hard as he could've BUT this time he was standing at the end of the workout. And as soon as he actually sat down he couldn't get back up:) We aren't going to change what we eat yet. We were already ingesting good-for-you foods. According to the caloric needs calculater Damm should be eating around 3,000 calories working out 6 days a week and I should be at 2,400. I'm already at 2,000-2,200 because I'm still the main food source of the Little Man. Not sure where Damm falls on the calorie count. Anyway, not upping ou...

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

Pedestels

By
Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.
