abs!  Tried Yoga.  It's pretty difficult with a 11 month old who thinks that mom is a playground.  I swear... the table and plank are much more difficult with 17 extra pounds hanging on!  LOL

I got a call from the Dr's office telling me that my xray looked pretty good, but they want to do a bone scan. :o(  I keep thinking it feels good, but then there are moments where it HURTS!  I'm going to give it another week or two and then try easing back into my running routine.

Okay... I have figured out why people say babies are expensive.  It's because all the things they make for babies are freaking adorable, you can't help yourself.  For example, today I stopped by Walmart to buy diapers.  What do I find near the diapers?  A beautiful Christmas dress.  She NEEDS a Christmas Dress, right?  And if she gets a Christmas Dress, she needs shoes to match them.  So, I grab the dress and the diapers, and make my way to the shoes.  (passing the movie section, where I have to admitt, I picked up Get Smart to surprise my husband).  Okay...  I find the most adorable black shoes to match her amazing dress... and what do they have next to the shoes... the cutest slippers ever.  I couldn't resist.  This is coming from ME!  I HATE shopping.  (I know you can't tell by this story, but believe me.  And if you don't believe, ask my husband!).  Okay.  I couldn't resist the slippers, and once you see them, you won't be able to resist them either.

This is why people can't get out of Walmart with just one item!

Camille,

You are so funny!!

So, are you going to have the bone scan?

Hang in there!!

I hate shopping too. So much. But if you don't buy Melanie those slippers, I'm going to!!

Tables are nigh impossible for me. My arms don't bend back enough.

I bet the added challenge of the Melanie weight is good for you. And as you get better she gets heavier. In a decade you'll be able do planks with you 5th grader standing on your back. Cool beans!

Teena - yes. They called today to schedule the bone scan. It's not for 3 weeks :o( Talk about drawn out!!!

Rachel - oh, I bought them. She will leave them on, but isn't too sure about walking in them. I guess she isn't use to having the ground being so squishy.

Mike - I finally found something that I can do and you can't. (It's probably the only thing). Yeah, I'm not sure if I'll ever be strong enough for a 5th grader to stand on me while I do the plank, but it's something to espire to :o)
