I haven’t really talked to my dr about it, but everything I’ve been reading lately considers 37 weeks to be “full term.”  So, today, I am right at that mark!  While it’s exciting to think that baby can come “any time,” thinking about it too much will probably make the next 3 weeks drag by […]

Whew - for the past week I’ve been having quite a few Braxton Hicks contractions every day.  I have quite a few throughout the day that aren’t very noticeable.  Then each day, I have a number of really nice ones.  You know, the ones that make you sit up and take notice.  Ones that I’m […]

I’ve […]

So, I’m at that point where I’m thinking about how to get my pre-pregnancy body back after delivery.  This time, I have an exact plan.  I know exactly what type of exercise I’m going to do once I’m able to go ahead and exercise again.  I’m going to do Uphill Fitness Training.  Why?  Well, there […]
