I am so sick of him. I currently am hating him a lot!!!! I know I am hormonal but we haven't been getting along for a while. I feel like such a moron for getting pregnant. This will be our 2nd.

I'd say the issues btwn you are probably not imagined- they are most likely very real-- but your reaction to them right now is largely hormonal. that fatalistic perspective and unwillingness to let it go are distinctly hormonal. Don't do more damage than necessary by holding a grudge - just hang in there for a month or two until you even out a little bit and also consider some therapy to get you both through this. lots of people have periods of unhappiness in a marriage, but it doesn't spell sure doom. gl.

It's a big change but you just have to prioritize if, like us, you can't afford to stay in the city. If we'd stayed we'd have to have a smaller family and deal with the school battle. We moved, and we have 3 kids, a dog, and great schools that I don't have to fight to get into. I can grocery shop with ease (no crammed aisles and lugging heavy groceries home) and my kids, who have very different ways of learning (one has learning disabilities) each get what they need without a hassle. And we visit NYC at least twice a month, maintained our museum memberships, go to the parks, and get to enjoy the fun aspects of the city. We miss it most in the winter, when options here are fewer.

We do. We still have 87 as our first choice in the D3 lottery but dc scored well enough on OLSAT to get a good G&T placement. Thing is, I don't want to release the spot (if we even get one) until we know what her G&T placement is. I hope they will have a backup list. [ Reply | More

b/c it just does. I'd think for ues the going rate would be slightly higher than that, but perhaps ppl will correct me. Are you expecting her to do anything while she's at your home w/o dc? [ Reply | More

this is the problem with Dr. S. He is consistently like this. This is why I wish SO many people would stop posting that he is the be all end all. OP - if he has not already seen your child, you may want to try someone else who is more responsive and less busy. [ Reply | More

[ - ] I have a lot of weight to lose (approx. 80+ lbs) due to 3 pregnancies in little over 2 years, poor eating, etc. Used to be in good shape due to weight-lifting with a small amount of cardio. I now have 3 kids under 3, so finding time can be tough. A Pilates studio opened around the corner, my mom offered to get me some lessons for my b'day. I'm interested b/c it seems like it's like lifting weights (which historically worked vy well for me) in that it's strength training - but does Pilates help you lose weight? Am also addressing calorie intake with a program. Thx. 9 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I think it's like yoga - if it is a strenuous enough session it can. E.g., vinyasa yoga helped me lose weight, but hatha did not. I fear Pilates is too "sedentary," but I"m watching post.... [ Reply | More

You need to do cardio - and lots of it. Pilates is great for toning, but with that amount to lose you really need to get active. Also be strict with what goes in your mouth - no point working out if all you eat is cake! I also have 3 under 3 - and 25 lbs to lose. I know if I don't start now I'll be fat forever. Good luck!

this is exactly my story. had three under three. gained a lot of weight with each pregnancy. i think a lot of it depends on how motivated you are to do something about it. i've been watching what i eat but now is the first time that i'm really ready to start exercising. (dc#3 is now 2yo) [ Reply | More

I was in the same position you are in now 7 months ago. Since then I have lost 60lbs on Weight Watchers. It was the easiest weight I ever lost. I am a better mom because of it. WW and the gym (2-4 xweek for an hour)was how I lost. I never did the same thing at the gym in the same week. Good mix of Cardio, Weigh Training, and Classes. GOOD LUCK! Stop thinking about losing it and do it. You CAN! [ Reply | More

If you've had luck with weight training before I would go that route. I don't think pilates has quite the same effect on the body. I recommend the biggest loser fitness book - contains several do at home workouts with minimal equipment. [ Reply | More
