Hi - I hope everyone had a good weekend. Pamela - I saw the Hazelton campus once. I can't remember why I stopped there though. I think I was just on my way to Wilkes-Barre and wanted to see it.

Anyway, it's been warm here again. Even though the nights are cool we've been covering our pool when we aren't in it, so the water is 80. I swam the last 4 days in a row and also got up early this am and did 30 minutes on our ET. So I'm on a role.

Hope everyone has a good week!

I never went to another campus.

It's gotten really warm here too, like the 90's! Yikes! We had 2 or 3 really nice autumny days last week. Sooo nice. The ac is sort of acting up too, so it's been in the 80's in the house, blech.
Good news though: the baby moved down just a little bit and I can BREATHE now, lol. It's amazing! I forgot what it was like to not have to work for every breath. I've been building some muscle too, gotta keep that up. My stamina has increased also. I feel these are important things to have, hehe.
In Christ,
Pamela

Pamela, glad to hear that you are feeling stronger and can breathe better. I think our mini-heat wave is supposed to break tomorrow. It hasn't been bad though because it is cool at night and we've had low humidity.

Marvin - great to hear from you. I bet you DID get some excersise doing all that shopping! It's nice you got a break.

My update - got up early again and got on the Eliptical Trainer for 1/2 hour. Then I swam tonight for about 45 minutes. I have been taping movies that I want to see and watching parts of them while I work out on the ET. Works much better than reading on the ET. It seems like I'm done in no time and actually feel like I'd want to go further so I can watch more of the movie!

Just plugging along over here, lol. Not much new to report but thought I'd post.

Hi, Marvin and Pamela - nice to hear from you both.

I went to Yoga tonight, but that's it. Too cool out to swim tonight. I actually spent most of my night after the DD went to bed and DH fell asleep on the couch surfing the net. Anyway, it looks like it will get warmer this weekend and I can swim. The pool water was up to 81 last night.

When I was expecting I went to an exercise class called "Motherwell". It was neat - we had modified situps and practiced Kegels and also had a low impact aerobics routine. I did it right up until delivery and also swam. At the time, the Motherwell classes were offered around the US. I don't know if they are still around. I really enjoyed those classes plus the chance to talk to other moms-to-be and compare notes. Anyway, since you are both expecting, that just reminded me of those classes.

That sounds really neat, the Motherwell classes. I asked my friend if she'd be interested in swimming at the community center with me. Because of me having a little trouble breathing still, I'm nervous to swim by myself. We'll just put Em in the day care there and swim for awhile. Walking is still good.

I'm not getting a lot of excercise either. Going through a bad bout of depression right now. I made an appt with a therapist for next week. This has just been going on too long. That's what's going on here. Marvin, I hope both of us are feeling better soon! Please let us know how your appt goes.
In Christ,
Pamela

It's getting a little better. We are looking at an apartment today and my dad didn't realize that we were still living paycheck to paycheck so maybe he'll help out with the utilities here. He had given us a 2 month time period to move, but after realizing how depressed I was, took that off. Not sure if it's better to move before or after the baby. Maybe before!!

I did excercise yesterday though not of my free choice, LOL. We went to Mpls, got my sister and walked from her apartment to the brand new Hard Rock Cafe, 40 minutes EACH way, lol. I was hurting, but I think it helped the mood a little too. Doing better, plugging along.

I hope your tests come back quickly! I hate waiting for stuff like that. *hugs*
In Christ,
Pamela

Ooh I got a preg massage on Sat, so good, lol. We're going to stay here for awhile, try to save. Things are going much better with my dad. Still looking forward to my therapy on Fri though!!
Did 2 levels of the MOA today, without a stroller (carried heavy diaper bag!). Then we ran around like fruitcakes trying to find my favorite bands new cd (they broke up in 96, so it's especially special). So yeah. So hard to tell when I eat too much or not. I figure if I'm walking a lot, I'm not going to worry about it.

Hope you get some sleep. That's one of the harder preg things. That's why I'm up right now. Oh sleep sounds soooo good, but doing this is better than just laying in bed in the dark.
In Christ,
PAmela
