Post 'em!
New Mamas - week of 24 June
Good morning!
edenke - Hi! Sorry to hear your plans for #3 have been delayed, but I hope you enjoy getting back to your running, alas 5mths will fly by so enjoy them!
BR - So we seem to be having just a little sleep issue with C - she is still wetting heavily after her 6.30pm feed, waking at 9.30-10pm crying. I tried doubling the liner and she still wet through so last night put on a disposable; she still woke at 9.15pm so...possibly a habit now? But when she woke crying her throat sounded like sandpaper! eek! We had been out hiking with a friend and her 1yr old who had just recovered from a nasty throat and fever sickness which eventuated in her being given penicillin. We made sure they didn't interact and the doc had told my friend her daughter wasn't contagious (despite still having a cough) so i was a little nervous with that throat last night (you all know my thoughts on disliking antibiotics!)...fortunately C seems okay this morning? Hoping to get her weighed and measured today, she is FIVE months tomorrow!!
ER - meh, I wish it could have been a bit better over the weekend, I missed my long bike ride. But I did finally get out for a short 2hr hike to that new trail which was nice. Today another rushed indoor bike session as DH is working my least favourite shift of his.
NBR - Dumping rain today. Getting my hair cut again though - it's pretty messy at the moment! DH is doing the roof insulation Thursday, am looking forward to seeing its effect as the heat increases...
WR - Devastating news: it appears my pathetic scales are truly out and I am still up around 8lbs. Boo hoo. It appears my local gym scales AND my friends digital scales agree...meh. So I am making my usual rollercoaster effort to reduce sugar in my diet...(I'm actually not TOO concerned though DH took some pics of me at the pool with C last week and things do look a little flabby
Ozzy - Yikes I hope C is not getting sick!! I hope you can figure out the sleep issue, sounds frustrating.
BR: Getting more reactive. If I smile at him he will smile back. I keep trying to stick out my tongue and see if he repeats, but not yet He loves silly faces. He is also huge. I am having a hard time snapping the 6 month onesies. His torso is so long. The fully body pajamas are not as snug. So he is clearly like his dad with the long torso and shorter legs. Though there is nothing short about him!!!! Still struggling with naps, but he's consistently sleeping from 11 till somewhere between 5 and 6, and then will go back to bed for 3+ hours.
RR: Ran 13 miles in 3 days, oops! LR of 6 miles on Friday, 3 recovery miles Saturday and last night I hopped on the TM for 4 miles of speedwork: 3X800 at my slow 5k pace. It's a little depressing since I was running 4-6 mile tempos at this same pace a year ago. Oh well.
NBR: Had a crazy weekend. I made my first official sugar cookie order, and they are ready to be shipped this morning. It was not easy with a baby and DH working all day Saturday. But they are done!!! Also had a bridal shower yesterday morning. It was 90+ degrees and I did not even look at the weather before I was dressed in skinny jeans and a black sleeveless shirt with no shaven legs. I WAS SO HOT. Oh well, at least C was comfortable! Today we aren't doing much. Heading to the post office in a few and then just meal planning/grocery shopping.
MA: do you bake for a living? because I think that would be AWESOME.
Ozzy: Hope C is ok! I havn't had that problem with wetting yet, and Z doesn't seem to notice/mind when he is wet which is a bonus.
ER: did 15k on sat, bike on sunday and ran 8k today ( was supposed to do 10 but the path was flooded) I guess you guys have seen the floods on the news?? the Sask river goes right through Saskatoon so it's flooded now but nothing close to Calgary!
BR: Zeb's doing good, eating watermelon yesterday was harlarious, he loves it. but coughed up a huge chunk which was kinda scary but apparently the gag reflex is pretty high up so they do that. Umm we started giving him water in a sippy cup which he loves - with his food - because his poo was pretty dry looking. He's still getting the same amount of bottles so I'm just trying to loosen it up!
Working today then have my interview 9-4 tomorrow ugh.
Ozzy: I hope C is not getting sick. Their sleep does get very wacky when they are not feeling well. Hope you get a nice bike ride soon!
MA: Nice running! It have been so hot and humid here also. It is so fun also when the babies get more interactive! My C is huge as well. He's already in 9 mo clothing at 5.5 months.
CJ: The 15 K sounds great! I really should start biking again also.
RR: I ran 6 both days. Like I said above, it has been crazy hot. I try to make sure I hydrate well, but I did not today. I get visual migraines when I get dehydrated and I just had one today.
BR: He's such a good boy! I am so happy to be home this summer to spend more time with both of them. They are at DC today, so I am getting so much done. They will go to dc 2 days a week to stay in the routine.
NRR: Just happy to be home for the summer! Looking forward to slowing down, cleaning the house, spending time with kids, and working out more.
Ozzy: I hope the scratchy throat was just a coincidence and that C isn't really sick. Enjoy getting your hair cut. I find those short little outings dedicated to yourself become quite helpful! I'll be riding that 'reducing the sugar intake' train with you. I'm seem to be filling out a bit too.
MA: Sounds like a relaxing day ahead. I actually like grocery shopping, despite the actual grocery bill. So fun to hear about how little ones reactions! Nice solid runs over the weekend. It always seems to make Monday a bit brighter!
CJ: I also think baking for a living would rock. I love to putz in the kitchen...not much time for that anymore! Sorry to hear you're getting hit hard with rain too. I bet Zeb loved sucking on the watermelon. K did the same thing and had a chunk in his mouth. Luckily, I feel like watermelon would find it's way down if it had to. Excited for you interview? We'll be thinking of you!
runnergirl: Hope you're enjoying the start of your summer off! Cherish every minute!
BR: K is cutting his first tooth...maybe two. He's been a little more crabby and unsettled as of late but it could be worse. I know I wouldn't enjoy that sensation! No nasty rash either so I'm chalking us up as very fortunate.
NBR: Horrible thunderstorms came through last Thursday-Saturday early AM and our town got six inches. We got flooded pretty badly so DH and I spent almost all Thursday night into Friday morning shop vacuuming up water. It was awful. Then we got hit again Friday night so we started all over. We have a hot mess on our hands and definitely need to catch up on some sleep too. We're just going to take it one room at a time in the basement and get everything fixed and spruced up...then we're putting it up for sale. I'm ready to move. We need more space and fewer headaches! Now hopefully it stays dry here for a bit. I bet we vacuumed out pushing 1,000 gallons. Yuck!
RR: Well, I am counting all the vacuuming as exercise as it definitely prevented me from running on Friday. I did almost 6 miles with my SILS on Saturday AM but unfortunately my one SIL runs a pretty slow pace. It didn't feel like much of a work out but I'm glad we could do it together. We're all training for a Tough Mudder in a few weeks. Did a very short run with K in the Chariot last night but he once again didn't like it so I had to cut it short. I hope he starts to like strolling at some point or I'm in trouble.
Hey there mamas!
RR: Ran a hot 3.5 on Saturday with one walk break. It was one that I knew I just had to gut out if I ever want to get used to running in the heat. I was too tired and sore to run this morning.
BR: Seemed like we had a growth spurt over the weekend, P was eating every two hours almost on the nose on Saturday. He ate almost as much Sunday but he was cranky and exhausted. His second nap last night was nearly four hours, which meant he didn't wake up until after 7. I didn't get him up earlier because I was out and then I was making dinner. So he was up until about 9:30 when I decided to put him in bed and I think it took him a half hour to go to sleep. I'm sure he'll regulate now that we're back on a weekday schedule.
We moved him to his crib on Friday night. He didn't seem to mind the change, but seems like he was up a lot more just kinda jabbering away, in the middle of the night too. The biggest worry with the move is the kids waking each other up. So after his morning feeding I put him back in the pack n play. Eventually I'll put him back in the room, at least on days he goes to daycare and will have to wake up again anyway. The biggest issue is we don't want A waking up too early on the weekends! Now that he's in the kids room we hear him on the monitor after putting him to bed, maybe he did stay up and talk like that when he was in our room.
I also brought out the high chair this weekend and sat P in it for a few meals. He seemed to like the view! The high chair can recline, but he still kept leaning to the side. I had shoulder straps for the high chair but I'm not sure where they are. They won't help right now anyway because the shoulder strap spots are up by his ear instead of shoulder! It seemed like if I tightened the lap belt better he stayed more upright. He seemed very interested in watching us eat. Even though he's four months, I won't even think about solids til six months though (unless he does something to make it VERY obvious he's ready). That will just be one more think we need to fit in our day so I want to put it off as long as possible, lol.
I didn't have a plugged duct this weekend! That officially makes over two weeks since the last one, the longest I've gone since this started in May. I'm a little nervous about vacation coming up though since this problem started when we were traveling. On that subject I'm not sure how to handle nursing and pumping on vacation. I won't nurse in front of DH's family (his dad would freak out if I did that and I think the rest of DH's family would be uncomfortable too I'd think, they were all bottle fed). I'll make sure to keep up with the lecithin. I'll probably plan on pumping each day and once thats used when we're out then just go somewhere private to nurse.... I don't know.
NRR: Five more work days til vacation. We've got a lot to do. We have to figure out how to not overpack. We'll be going three different places for seven days... I'm not sure what we were thinking when we planned this, lol. It will at least be with DH's family so we will have some help and entertainment. In preparation for the trip I went out yesterday to buy swimsuits for P and I... it was a lot more pleasant to buy Ps! I haven't gotten a new suit in several years but I realized how worn out my old one was while pregnant. The one I got is OK, super tight everywhere but the butt, so I don't know how that will work.
I'd been feeling exhausted and sluggish/fatigued for about a week and a half so last week I asked my doctor to get my thyroid tested. Turns out I do need to increase my meds. They called the prescription in Friday but my pharmacy didn't get it so I need to pick it up today. I need to feel better before vacation! I'm glad that I could tell something was off and get it fixed. Hopefully its all fixed with the increase in meds!
WeightR: I've been losing weight consistently the last four weeks. Its slow but its happening. I've been able to fit into a few more pairs of smaller sized pants, so that makes me very happy!
No time for personals since I wrote such a novel but britt... I can't remember where you live? We had some big storms come through on Friday and Saturday that caused some flooding and we're under flood warnings until tomorrow. They were some wild storms but we didn't get the brunt of it here. Hope you can get it all cleaned up!
Alright, trying to get an "early" start so I don't get so behind that I am too intimidated to begin...
BR: J started squealing today! It was super adorable. The first time was through frustration but I think he liked what he was doing with his voice and kept trying it out throughout the day. SO cute! He was very loud and high pitched. He kept making me laugh. I love my little trouble maker!
ER: Workout video with DH tonight. Actually we took turns, which worked well. Nothing over the weekend due to NBR.
NBR: We took a last-minute trip to upstate NY. DH's grandparents both suffered severe health set-backs in the past couple weeks and it is unlikely that they will be around much longer. His grandpa is just deteriorating b/c of age. He is 95. It is just that he got much worse very quickly in the past three weeks. His grandmother suffered a stroke. The visit was important, but emotionally exhausting and sad. I had wanted them to meet their first great grandson under better circumstances. But I'm glad we went. It was the right thing, even though it was way hard.
Ozzy: Wow! C is growing up so fast! Hope the bad throat sounds are not actual sickness. Sorry about rushed workouts, but good job doing them anyway. Don't be too depressed about the weight. With your healthy lifestyle it will certainly come off, though I know in the meantime it can be frustrating.
MA: Good gracious! Your little man is super big! J is still in 3-6 months clothes and I hope he can fit them for a while more b/c I have very few bigger things and I hate the idea of refreshing his wardrobe again. Great job on the running. You are impressive!
CJ: Every time I hear about Calgary I automatically think of the Bon Iver song... Which is a good thing. How fun to feed Zeb real food! Can't wait for J to be ready for that! Though I do love breast feeding and don't want to give it up too early.
runnergirl: Wow! Awesome runs! Ugh to migraines! It is hard for me to remember to stay hydrated too. Enjoy the time home with the little ones for sure. Nice to have some time to yourself to get some things done.
Brittk: Sounds like teething is going well with minimal discomfort. Ugh, so sorry about the flooding. How miserable! Tough mudder looks great! Have fun!
Monk: Good job on the run! I hate running in the heat too! Nice work with the high chair. I can't wait til J can sit so that I can have him sitting near me when I'm working instead of him having to lay on the floor. I agree with you on the food thing. I want to breast feed as long as possible. I may let him taste things at 4 months, but I don't want to seriously start him on solids til 6 months. Yay for weight loss!
Had a crazy week last week. Every time I tried to post I got distracted.
BR: J had a growth spurt last week and nursed nonstop! Glad that has passed. Back to three hour stretches and at least one four hour stretch at night. But seems like J doesn't get settled in for bed until 11pm Even though I tried to put him down earlier. We a family date night and went to a concert in the park and J was so good! He has his two month appt on we'd not looking forward to shot.
RR: I threw C25k out the window lol I didn't have the restraint to follow the program. I ran my first nonstop mile in 10:22. Hope to be at three miles by the end of next week. I'm runing with some friends tomorrow. I already warned them that I need walk breaks and they were ok with that so It will be nice to see them And get a run in.
ER: i was able to get away to the gym tonight For a weight workout. j fed, dinner started, and DH home a lil earlier than the norm So I worked out perfect.
WR: 7 lbs to go but things have come to a halt. Now that I'm getting some decent workouts in, I'm always hungry!!!
Ozzy: hope C isn't getting sick. Oh how I miss hiking. Hope to get some in this summer.
MA: your running is very impressive
CJ: good luck with your interview
runner: sounds like a perfect summer
brit: sorry to hear about the flooding. Hope insurance can help with the damage.
monk: sorry about DH's family being uncomfortable about nursing. i never bothered to ask or got A strange feeling but I nurse in front of them all the time But they were breastfed So that probably helped.
sash: glad grandparents got to meet your little guy. Hope you got some pics.
Sasha: Oh man, I feel the exact opposite about BFing... as I sit here at 5 am pumping.. worst experience of my life! I'm glad that there is some hope for next time , maybe it will go smoothly for me and i'll get to enjoy it.
Mann: wow! 11 pm! Zeb goes down at 6 30 pm. In the Ferber book he says sometimes they even need earlier than that! maybe trying really early like that would work? it is a bit of a hassle since we can't do anything at night...
Sasha: sorry about the grandparents. Where do you live?
Mann: glad u are getting some good stretches of sleep. I would never make it until 11 though. C goes down around 7. If I miss that window, he is harder to get down. Maybe u can catch your baby earlier?
Br: he was up a lot last night! Not sure why.
NBr: I have been sitting here waiting fit blood work forever! Hope the thyroid thing was just hormones. Getting he house ready today for mil. Dh us going away until Sunday.
runnergirl - ugh, sitting and waiting for medical stuff is the worst! I hope you don't have to wait too long. Good luck with the MIL visit. Are you a teacher? So nice that you can be home for the summer!
Mann - C goes to sleep at 11 too. I am going to start putting him down 15 min earlier and keep it there for a few nights, and then 15 min earlier for a few more nights, etc. I'm going back to work on 7/8 so no way I can stay up so late!! We'll see if that works...
Sasha - I love the baby squeals! C has definitely found his voice too. It's so cute. Aw I'm so sorry to hear about your DH's grandparents! It's so sad to watch them age like that, especially so quickly. Hugs!
Monk - About BFing - whenever we are over someone's house, I just ask if there is a bedroom or somewhere quiet I can go to. If we are out, i have a privacy blanket that I use if there is no way to go somewhere private. I'm excited for C to sit up well enough to sit in the high chair and be a part of dinner, even if hes not eating yet.
Britt - Yikes on cutting teeth. I hope he does ok! I run with some girlfriends who are slower, but I figure any time on my feet is good, and the slower runs at least help with recovery! Vacuuming defintely counts.
Canada - Ha, Iwish I baked for a living!! IT was actually my first paying gig. I've made sugar cookies and frost them for years, and have always wondered if I could sell them. I would love to make a little side business of it. Attached are the latest 2 knids I've made. The pic of watermelon was so cute!!!
BR: 11-5:45ish last night and then 6-8:45. As I sadi to Mann, I'm thinking of starting to put C down 15 min earlier and see how that goes. I need an earlier bedtime!! Might as well do it now while I'm still not working. This morning I woke up at 5:45 and my boobs were SOOOO engorged. It was actually quite painful. And C ate on one side and then wouldn't eat on the other so I pumped just that boob and got over 5 oz! Well geez no wonder he was full, he probably had too much on the one side! I'm assuming the engorgment will normalize itself as C sleeps this long more often?
RR: 3 miles today. Probably on the TM when C naps as it's already 78* and 70% humidity. Yuck!
WR: Woooo down below 150! Just lost .6lbs last week, but I didn't track at all, so I was surprised I didn't gain!
NBR: Just trying to enjoy my last 2 weeks at home. Not doing much and that's fine with me! Though I should probably go room by room and do a deep clean since who knows when that's happening again
Britt - Sorry to hear about the flooding - I guess it was the same storm system that hit Calgary/Southern Alberta up here?? I'd say vacuuming counts as exercise for sure; my DH did the Tough Mudder here last year; he said the course itself wasn't as insane as he thought, it was the extreme temp changes from getting hot and sweaty running/climbing, then going through ice-cold water obstacles that was hard...I hope K starts to like the Chariot soon, does he have a favourite blanket or toy in there with him?
Monk - I'm glad the crib transfer seems to have gone well in as far as P being content with it; C LOVES watching us eat but isn't showing any signs of wanting to do it herself yet which I am glad about (as for me breastfeeding is easier! No thought or prep required!) I'm with one of the other girls who mentioned it - if I go to a friends place where i don't feel comfortable feeding (plus C is easily distracted) I request a quiet room to do it, or I'll just sit in the back of the car and feed C (tinted windows) if we are on a road trip. I'm glad you worked out your thyroid was off - always ice to have an explanation for extra exhaustion, great work on the weight loss - have a wonderful holiday
sasha - Sorry to hear about DHs grandparents; what a wonderful age they have reached though, good genes! Sorry it wasn't the ideal circumstances though for them to meet J. Good idea on the tag-team workouts!
mann - too funny on tossing out the C25K; hey just do what you feel like and listen to your body if it needs a recovery day or cross-training and you'll be fine! It's great you have friends to run with. What do you do with J after the feed prior to 11pm? That is when we switch it up for C - feed, and straight to sleep, then we wake her for the 11pm feed (in an ideal world which it hasn't been the last week)...
runner - good luck surviving solo for a few days (um, pretty much a week, aik! though it's great your MIL is coming   I hope the blood work comes back okay.
MA - I go to sleep at 8.30pm on quite a few nights and set my alarm for the 11pm feed, would C sleep that stretch after his pre-11pm feed? From what you've said with his sleep patterns it sounds like C could? Just give you an extra hour or two of ZZzz. Not ideal I know but to start might hep til you get used to being back at work. i found my engorgement would go down after a night or two of extended sleep (thank goodness). can't believe you are back at work soon - boo! Enjoy these last 2 weeks.
BR - So C does seem to have a sore throat but not too much else, I am hoping like me that most colds hit her throat and then just go away rather than sit around clogging her up! I've been taking a bit of extra Vitamin C and giving C her BioGaia probiotics in the hope that helps. Last night c went down to sleep at 7.15pm...then woke at 8.15pm quite upset. It wasn't the diaper wetting through, wasn't gas, I could only assume she'd woken with a dry throat? Anyway, it took over 45mins and 2 goes to get her down. Once she remembered she had a thumb to help soothe her it was okay. But when my alarm went at 10.30pm to feed her i just couldn't bring myself to wake her from a deep sleep so waited a half hour til she was in a lighter sleep and could be woken. After that she slept til 6.30am so not too bad. i can handle her waking and crying at 8-9pm; it's the 2am ones that always stress me (which is extremely rare). She is very happy in the daytime though even with a sore throat which is a relief. Her napping the last 2 days has been atrocious though, I am finding it really quite annoying as I am certain she needs sleep!! (as I type this she is waking after just TWENTY minutes of "sleeping" in her usual 2hr window, agh!!)
ER - Ended up going to the gym yesterday morning and doing a hard 30 min interval workout on the stair climber (I couldn't go past level 12 in pregnancy without feeling like I was pushing too hard, now I am comfortable on level 17 albeit i am in a simulated run at that point). Today hoping for a pool workout (swim/water run) after DH gets home.
NBR - Got my hair cut yesterday, C was very well behaved at the salon. It was neat for my hairdresser to meet her as i have been going to her for almost 8 years (it was freaky when she said her son just turned 15, when we first met her son was 7!).
Oh C...why won't you sleeeeeeep?
Ozzy: I wonder if C's got some teeth moving around in there too?? I always blame that when I can't figure out Zeb's whining.. lol.
MA: Whoo hoo on the 6 pounds ! Bet that feels awesome! I'm making sugar cookies tomorrow!
NBR: Interview went well yesterday, still didn't have the most experience but we'll see. Unfortunatelly I was up most of the night going over each question thinking of a better answer.. so am quite sleepy as I type this / pump.
BR: Zeb's doing well, REALLY trying to crawl and getting frustrated he can't .. he lifts himself up high and kicks and falls back down ,, it's pretty cute actually. Still has a blocked tear duct which gets his eye stuck shut every morning and requires lots of wiping.. lame. 6 month appointment tomorrow!
ER: jillian yesterday and spin bike today before work!
Canada - 0.6 pounds lol C has a blocked tear duct too, but so strange it comes and goes. I'll be wiping it every hour for days and then he wakes up and it's clear! It's starting to get goopy again though, boo.
Ozzy - I'm scared that him sleeping earlier will mean up all night. The last 2 nights 15 min earlier meant waking up over an hour earlier. Sigh! It could be his 12 week growth spurt though. I hope you are doing better with C's sleep!
BR: Trying to put him down earlier has not gone as planned, but I think it's because of a growth spurt. Sigh. Just when things are getting into a routine, it all changes, right? Hopefully in a few days we will be back to 6-7 hour stretches, instead of 4-5.
RR: 5 mile walk yesterday to run a few errands, or walk them Tonight I'm running 3 miles with the girls. Haven't done that in too long!
NBR: Went to visit my grandparents last night. C was very vocal, it was cute Excited for the weekend. DH's grandma, who lives in PA is coming up to meet C finally! She is the sweetest woman, so I'm excited to see her! And C is her first great grandchild!
BR - Okay so yesterday C napped for 20mins in the AM again then spent the rest of her nap time crying. DH went in a few times and she would just smile at him which made him a little frustrated. So, as mentioned on FB I decided to add an extra feed back into the day as a couple of books mentioned feeding or reduced milk quality/supply as a reason for sleep issues around 4-6mths. Man it certainly compacted my day again - C had been feeding every 4hrs the last month which made things pretty cruisy - going back to every 3hrs for a few days means being more organised again!! Anyway, long story too long, C slept perfectly again for the first time in a few weeks last night. In fact she is still snoozing now as 7am approaches. My Mum keeps telling me if C is as alert as we were as kids then she may only need one nap per day (she is a very alert baby, has been since she was born and by alert I guess i mean easily awoken and not willing to sleep if there is an iota of daylight) but I like the concept of "sleep begets sleep" so am wanting to try to stick with that for now (as it was working there for a bit). C does still have a sore throat but seems oblivious to it. Oh, and I took her in to get measured yesterday, she is now 14lbs 8oz and 63cm (25inches), she's dropped from 50th percentile to 38th percentile. Whilst i try not to put too much weight on those charts I know it's generally good if she stays "on her curve" so this again suggests another feed may be good. I feel like a bad mom but she really seemed to go so well between feeds, no crazy hunger signs like she had at 2-3mths...ugh. Anyway, overall she is a happy baby so I'm just trying to focus on that.
ER - seems to be a reduced exercise week but my body seems more tired so I'll just go with that; yesterday 40mins indoor on the bike and some light weights (holy, just a single set and I get a little DOMS? goes to show how slack I've been today hoping for another 30min swim/30min water run in the PM. Probably go for a long walk with C while the boys are working at the house this morning.
NBR - DH is putting in our roof insulation today - just in time ahead of a warm weekend! Quite interested to see (and hopeful) it will help keep the house a little cooler (or warmer depending on the season).
NBR2 - Made a paleo pumpkin chili last night with an orange/avocado cream to put on top - yum!
Ma: lol my bad! 0.6 is still good! I'm going to ask the dr how often i shoud rub his eye today, its getting red..
Ozzy: 7 am and still sleeping! I wish! I'm working on getting his naps at 9 and 1 to see if it helps nstead of 8 and 11 and 3 ,, who knows!
er: 8k with bob,,, more flooding today so had to go on the road a bit,
br: zeb was not a carrot fan yesterday but loved yogurt, yumm.
MA - forgot to comment, those sugar cookies looked GOOOOOD! There seems to be two schools of thought on sleep: my Mum is of the "keep 'em up if you want them to sleep at night" mindset, another friend suggested to us that "plenty of sleep meant more sleep" (up to a point) which actually worked for the first 3 months for the most part (ie C's best night sleeps in the beginning - and even up to a month ago - were after a day of good naps). Though in your case I'm petty sure it's just a phase J is going through along with a growth spurt Enjoy your run tonight!
CJ - Nice BOB run! I love that Zeb naps through the day for you...though i have found with C that the 3rd nap became/is more of a catnap now, maybe 20mins. Seems to get her past the evening grumble stage more easily Though now it's like she is a completely different baby, hard to figure out!
Ozzy: I am DEFINITLY in the sleep begets sleep camp. Totally worked for us!
Lots of catching up to do I see!
monk: Sounds like the transition to the crib has gone fairly decent. You've got a good plan in place! Happy to hear you've gone without a plugged duct too and I hope that continues. They just plain suck. Vacation is nearing- how is packing going? Has there been a lot of packing, unpacking, repacking? I seem to do that. I'm an awful packer.
sasha: Exciting that the squeaking/gabbing has begun. Oh those cute little voices! Sorry to hear about DH's grandparents but I'm glad you were able to fit that trip in to see them. Oh to reach such an age! They've seen such transitions in our society during their time...I can't imagine what will happen in our lifetimes.
luna: So C25K had to go huh? Haha. You have to do what works for you! Are you nearing three miles like you'd hoped? Happy to hear you've been able to fit in weights as well, that's a major plus.
MA: I'm with you on the sleep troubles. I call it a GREAT night if he's down by 9:30 PM. Yes, the engorgement will ease. I use to do the same and leak a lot too but it's really balanced out. I still leak a little if he's eating off of the other side during the night but nothing close to how it used to be. Have a good time on your run with your friends.
Ozzy: How is C feeling today? I sure hope babies don't experience sore throats like we adults do. K and I shared a cold the other week and my throat just killed. I'd hate to think his was anything like that. Did C just chill in the cars eat while you got your hair cut or did you hold him? Just wondering for future reference! Glad your extra feed seemed to help in the sleep department. Are you doing paleo?
CJ: Oh the interview replay, I bet we all know that well. Do you over analyze as well? I sure as heck do. I'm sure it went great. Our library on campus was conducting interviews this week and I thought of you. I assumed none were you unless you like the idea of west central MN!
BR: K did a 4 hour stretch in the crib last night and in our house, that's cause for celebration! He started to stir around 3 AM so I just grabbed him and nursed him down in bed with us. He was up until 11 PM though He was super tired so I let him take a fairly late nap. I may try to steer around that tonight though if it looks like we're heading in that direction. His solo tooth is really popping out. He's a bit more clingy but not bad at all. I'll take it.
RR: DH came and ran with me over our lunch breaks today-- 4.4 very warm miles. It was nice and made the run go by much faster. He had some work updates to share with me and he's really excited. It's fun to hear him all jazzed up like that. I have a softball double header tonight but I think I'll only stay for one game.
NBR: My little cousin has his H.S. grad party this weekend so I have a lot of baking to do to help with that. His mama divvied out quite a few jobs so my one pan of bars has turned into two plus big batches of sweet & spicy chex mix and puppy chow. I have a lot night ahead of me and am crossing my fingers K wants to go to bed a wee bit earlier. Water in the basement is all vacuumed up but we still have a major mess. And then last night I discovered that the pipes under our kitchen sink have been leaking too so we have more repairs to make. Hoping there is no water sitting on top the ceiling in another spot downstairs! It could be worse though. We have a roof over our heads, all of our essentials, and we still get to do fun things. We'll just have to work on one room at a time and then hopefully sell this place!
Hey there Mamas!
BR: Had our 4-month check up today. P is still a little shrimp! 14 pounds, 24 3/4 inches, 16th and 25th percentiles. His weight percentile is down from 2 months but no one was concerned. I was surprised but choose not to be concerned since the doctor isn't! He had shots and really screamed. If he's like A, I'll expect him to react a bit more to these shots and more still at 6 months. When I left to come into work he was sleeping though.
RR: I actually had a really good run yesterday on the TM of all places because it was stormy. I actually lengthened my run because it was pouring outside and I didn't want to get drenched, lol. Anyway, it was 3 miles and that run tied my mileage from last month. I ran the same number of miles in 3 minutes faster this month. I'll take that progress whereever I can get it! I'll run a few more tomorrow and may try a hotel TM run on Sunday morning. I'm signed up for a 5K on July 20.
NRR: My increased thyroid meds are taking effect, the exhaustion is getting better (though I slept about two hours extra this morning and am super tired now but whatever) but my body is still achy. P's appointment wasn't until 11 so I decided to take the morning off. I went in to the chiropractor for an extra adjustment because my body was all screwy... he adjusted me A LOT, like at least 8 different places on my back and neck. I have no idea how I messed my body up like that. I'm sore now from it.
We haven't started packing for vacation yet. DH is doing tons of laundry today and tomorrow and we're making shopping lists. I just hope all the stuff we need will fit in the car. There's going to be DH's grandma's memorial service while we're there so on top of everything else we need to bring nice clothes. I'm not even sure I have anything nice to wear in my current size. We're still not sure when we want to leave on Saturday... trying to decide between ASAP after breakfast or more relaxing and leaving after lunch. We're driving halfway on Saturday and spending the night in Des Moines, the going the rest of the way to Kansas City on Sunday.
WeightR: So yesterday my normal weigh in day I'd gained almost a pound, but this morning I was down a pound and a half from last week (so 2.5 from yesterday). I'll take it! Hopefully vacation doesn't derail me too much. A few more weeks until I will hopefully have a 1 as the first number instead of 2!
Sorry I haven't been able to do personals this week. I've been really focused at work. Trying to get a lot done so I don't have a super huge pile when I get back from vacation.
Hi Ladies!
RR: Ran Friday and then yesterday (after 3 thwarted attempts on Tuesday!), so I'm finished with wk 4. I'm excited for wk 5 and a run without walk breaks (d 3)! Yesterday the clouds looked very threatening, so instead of my usual out and back I decided to stick to loops. The parking lot, the main path, and a longer side loop run roughly parallel, which does give me a lot of play when trying to match my remaining time with the distance from my car, but I know I also adjust (slow) my pace. Running in loops was a little more boring, but it has to be at least 1/2-3/4 of a mile (given that I got around about 3 times), so it's not bad, and I didn't feel the same pressure to be near my car when my time was up. I also didn't have to calculate my halfway point, which made the experience more pleasant. I may have to stick with looping for awhile.
I'm also thinking of experimenting with running multiple days in a row. Right now my pattern seems to be that I run one day, resist the urge the next, and then something comes up the following day or two... I don't want to over-train, but I wouldn't mind the unexpected rest days so much if I was still getting 3-4 runs in a week. And tomorrow my bras are scheduled to arrive! The one I've been using is a more of a basic compression and definitely inadequate, but I've been making do with it. I hope at least one of the new ones works.
BR: A's first tooth is officially poking through, now. He's been alright, but his nights & days seem to be switched. That may be because a family gathering threw off our schedule this weekend, too, but either way I hope I can get him switched back quickly! I don't think the coffee I've been drinking to compensate has helped either... He also *might* have signed "poop" to me this morning. He plays with his hands so much and I did suspect he'd pooped before that, so maybe I was reading too much into his thumb grabbing, but I'm still excited He also rolled over from his side to his tummy. He has a way of doing something new, just when I'm stressing about him most. Most of my stress lately has been trying to research doctors, but we've decided to stick with the same hospital for any more specialists we see. When we have the neuro appointment we'll ask about taking things one step at a time (genetics next) or going in and having "everyone" look at him until we have some answers (and that's assuming neuro doesn't have them for us). I'm thinking of EBFing until 9 mos, but I did buy a couple avocados that should be ripe in a few days, just in case I change my mind
I know I should try and do at least a few personals, but D has been driving me nuts today and I just need to unwind a little. I should get in a run tomorrow morning, so I'll try then.

Lewis: hope your stress level decreases and the specialists figure everything out! That's funny about the poop sign, I can tell when Z poos from his grunting and flailing, does that count?
Monk: glad you got your thyroid issues sorted out and have a great time on vaca!
Britt: the day long interview was fine, still not getting my hopes up but should find out next week! part of me wants to stay on mat leave since I can for a year but the stressed out part says get a job so you don't have to worry about it in Jan.. hmm.
ER: prob do jillian this am - then planned a long run tomorrow, it's going to be HOT. I'll try for 18 or 19k since I have a half in 2 weeks. oops.
BR: Zeb had his 6 month app yesterday, he finally shot up to 97th percentile in height but only 50th in weight, if you knew me and my hubby's body type, this makes perfect sense.. haha. We're both super lanky. I guess being born early evened out because he was a bit behind before this..
His new thing is being able to kick on his fish aquarium .. he just did it.. it's 5 am.. ha.
Don't have time for a full post with personals but I have an exciting BR...
BR: C rolled over from tummy to back THREE times yesterday!!!! He was getting really close but I wasn't expecting it just yet! He was too cute, looking really surprised that he did it
RR: Run with the girls was fun last night. 7 on the schedule today, but will probably be on the TM because it's GROSS out.
NBR: Excited for DH's grandma from PA to come up today! His family is coming over around 5 so I will be spending the day cleaning. Fun!
Have a great weekend mamas!
Wow, so much for getting an early start to keep up. This week has been a bit weird.
BR: Well, on Monday night my milk supply suddenly dropped. I was really concerned b/c all day Tuesday and Wednesday I felt like I barely was covering what J needed. Wednesday night was especially bad. J was crying for more and I had nothing. I was stressing out pretty bad. I got some Mother's Milk Tea (grossest stuff ever!) and some fenugreek and upped my water intake and calorie intake quite a bit. Thankfully by Thursday morning things were getting back to normal. I'm still a bit lower than where I was before our trip but getting better steadily. I know you hate BF Canada, and I think I would too if I were in your position, but it is such a special part of my relationship with J, I was in tears thinking I might lose it.
BR2: J has not rolled over yet (jealous MA! haha) but he is very close from back to tummy actually. I think it's b/c he actually prefers to be on his tummy, so he is very close, but gets stuck on his arm (because he constantly has his fists in his mouth these days). Super hilarious to see him kicking and grunting! We usually come over and "show" him how to move his arm if he gets too frustrated.
ER: Workouts have been down this week b/c of my concern over my lack of milk. I ran 2.5 on Tuesday with the jogger and it was miserably hot and humid. J didn't seem to mind it though. Took off Wed and Thurs though did go on a walk Thursday, only about a mile. Today I went on a 2.5 run with J and he screamed almost the entire time. I hate that. It took me nearly half an hour to get him calmed down after getting back home. I want to do some abs, so I make take turns with DH when he gets home this afternoon.
NBR: Ugh, practically nothing this week. My neighbor whose place I usually crash in the afternoons is out of town. My bestie is out of town and DH is working 10 hour days all week. On top of that it has been really hot, so J and I haven't even spent much time outside. Last night was a welcome change. A gal from DH's english program came over and they played music together. She is a violinist. J loves music, so it was a very nice night.
Now for personals
Brittk: Sounds like teething is going really well for you! So fun to run with DH! I feel you on the heat. It's getting bad here. I assume you have a shower at work. I could never go back after a run b/c I sweat so much! Hope the baking goes well. It sounds delicious!
Monk: I wouldn't be concerned about his weight either. I've heard that as long as their growth is normal for them, then it's fine. Poor buddy! They seem to really detest the shots. Can't blame them. Great progress on the running! The treadmill can be surprisingly good for bad days.
lew: I feel you on the bra issues! I haven't ordered a proper one b/c the price is prohibitive at this point. I just double up and it seems to do the trick. Babies are so finicky about their schedules. J was a disaster on our three day trip. I think it was a combination of being in a different place and he could sense that I was stressed. Poor things.
CJ: Hahaha! That is totally J's poop signal too! It's pretty funny. You long-distance ladies always impress me. I like running, but I'm not great at it. Wow, your little guy gets up super early! I would die. I think that J's new habit of being up at 6:45 is rough.
MA: Yay for rolling! I love it when they do something and are like, "Wait! That was me!" Hahaha! So cute. Enjoy the family this weekend. I love DH's extended family (well, most of them). I feel you on the housecleaning though. I need to do that and I don't even have anyone coming over.
Oops! Missed Ozzy: Good for you figuring out what was up with C. It's hard to gauge what they need at that stage I feel like. J doesn't give me good hunger clues anymore, so I definitely test him to see if he wants to eat fairly often. Still doing it every 2 hours unless he has a long nap or during the night. Don't feel too bad! All babies are different and they certainly keep you guessing with how quickly they change! Long walks are great, especially if the baby is happy. Your chili sounds delicious!
sasha: I would love bf if it worked- so can understand the tears, had a lot myself! Glad your supply seems to be going up- if it doesn't , domperidone worked for me!
Took Zeb in the pool at the appartment for the first time, finally warm enough out. He was cold at first but enjoyed it after he got used to it! better toughen him up for the -40 winters here.. hehe.

Hi, which sport do you like to play and like the most.....specially outdoor games....
When you start these kinds of discussions, what you should do is 1) tell us why you want to know it, and 2) start the discussion yourself.
I like to play lots of sports (tennis, basket, football), although the only one I actually am any good in is football. I prefer the italian calcetto (5 against 5) because the field is very small so you need a lot of technique and it requires less running
I love boxing, kickboxing and group fitness classes. Sorry... none of those are outdoors!
I play golf myself, and its the only sport i find amusing to watch.
I like to play soccer and it is the sport which i like the most... i like to do some adventurous sports as well like tracking,rock climbing,sky diving, rafting etc...
i like all the outdoor games but usually i play badminton, football & basket ball.
You gotta get yourself to Thailand!
Like Hawk, I am into individual sports. Big fan of MMA, well, martial arts in general. Less of a practitioner than I used to be, but that is changing! Currently do BJJ, muay Thai, tennis and swimming to try to squidge myself into some sort of shape. Coincidentally, those are the sports I love watching (except swimming, which can be a bit dull ).
I know... and not just for the sport!
I like to play pool mostly.
I Like Cricket
I like to play cricket, chase, football... I love play...
I am also like to play cricket..
I like Formula 1
Obviously I don't practice it... I simply watch it :lol:
But it is very technical and I like the small little details about the engines and tyres and driving techniques...
I love UFC and cricket.
I love indoor games. my favorite is playing chess.
Rugby Union hands down the greatest game in the world, but I do understand people when they say football(soccer)
Golf! Being from the UK, a great heritage here, and being half Scottish had to take it up and work in golf now!
Not the best sport to choose though, never have the weather in England!
i like play cricket and also watch each and every indian match without matching
I like...Cricket : To wtachFootball: To playFirst Person Shooter: To play on PC.
Outdoor game I like cricket but in door game I like to play chess.:lol:

Arizona State University is making headlines yet again for its innovative, green technology programs. This time, Arbsource, a spin-out company from Arizona State University, is the winner of the Rocky Mountain Cleantech Open regional final for the Air, Water and Waste category.
What Is Arbsource?
Arbsource transitions wastewater treatment from an expensive liability into a valuable resource for food and beverage companies. The core of Arbsource's technology is based on Anode Respiring Bacteria, which, in conjunction with Arbsource's unique reactor design, removes organic pollutants such as sugars and starches and other type of organic pollutants in the wastewater without the need for as many inputs as are required for traditional processes.
Mark Sholin, founder and CEO, explains Arbsource's technology for treating the wastewater for food and beverage companies, taking that costly energy liability and transforming it into a valuable resource. Depending on the use that this water is destined for, it can be reclaimed to be used directly back into our customers' processes, or it can be treated directly on site for release into the sewer system.
"We are talking about breweries, confectioners, potato chip makers … a lot of these guys spend up to six figures per year just treating their wastewater," Sholin says. "With our ARB cell biotechnology, we can offer comparable speed and quality for up to half the cost, and that savings is realized through using a lot less energy, producing less solid sludge by-product and also reducing maintenance."
Charlie Lewis, Vice President of Venture Development at Arizona Technology Enterprises, has assisted Arbsource's Sholin and Lon Huber, CFO, with the commercialization process of this new technology and licensing the technology back to the young entrepreneurs. This process is necessary as the technology was developed through a collaborative student and faculty partnership at Arizona State University.
Lewis shares the green technology Arbsource developed that makes it different from other industrial wastewater treatment, such as cutting costs and producing hydrogen gas rather than methane.
"Companies have water that is imported from another facility that needs to be treated," Lewis says. "Through the technology of Arbsource, they are able to substantially cover more reducing the costs. And from an output standpoint, [the process] produces hydrogen gas, which is a good product rather than those that are not environmentally friendly like methane."
Companies have already expressed interest in getting on board with this technology, some right here in Arizona. Sholin wishes not to release names due to confidentiality reasons, but he mentions dairy facilities, breweries and a few candy makers.
"There's a number of local beverage processing companies, some high profile names and others in the Phoenix area that have expressed early interest in our technology," Sholin says. "We are still pretty early in the technical development where we are sourcing materials for, what we like to call, our pre-pilot unit."
Arbsource In The Cleantech Open Regional Competition
The Cleantech Open is a leader in developing clean technology startup entrepreneurs that are currently addressing these aims to find, fund and foster incredible ideas that address energy, environmental and economic challenges. Since the inception of the Cleantech Open in 2006, 400 teams have been privileged to Cleantech Open's unique, hands-on workforce development, nurturing and funding programs.
Each regional final team won a "Startup in a Box" prize package that included cash and in-kind services worth up to $20,000.
The Cleantech Open has given the Arbsource team the opportunity to connect with potential investors, strategic partners and customers during this competition, in addition to receiving media exposure. This has even led to a venture capitalist, based out of Colorado, that wants to mentor the Arbsource team throughout the rest of the competition and beyond.
"Our team is quite young," Sholin says. "Lon and myself are steering the ship if you will. He's 25, and I'm 23. The teams we are competing against … most of them are double our age and they've been at this for years.
"Some of these guys are serial entrepreneurs who have a mature product in place and even have the sales to back it up. Call it maybe distorted, but when they announced our names, we were really blown away by it, and I think it had to do with the market opportunity and the fact that we have a young team, and we have the energy to devote to this. Also, that we have a very knowledgeable advisory board and the fact that we are very closely tied with Arizona State University."
Arbsource is heading to the finals on November 15 and 16 in San Jose, Calif. to compete against the finalists from all six regions.

Apple fans may have to wait longer than expected for the iOS 9.2 jailbreak release as TaiG Team's partner 3K Assistant said that the tool is not working.
According to Forbes, 3K Assistant said that the iOS 9.2 jailbreak may not happen anytime soon as the tool is not working as it should. However, this hinted that the developers are hard at work in coming up with a jailbreaking tool to bypass iOS 9.2 security.
It was earlier reported in a tech blog that a partner of TaiG claimed that iOS 9.2 jailbreak development is underway. 3K Assistant allegedly announced via China's social media website Weibo that it is working on a new jailbreak version based on Apple's recently released iOS 9.2 build. The development seems to be already in its final stages as 3K Assistant reportedly added that an iOS 9.2 jailbreak version is "coming soon."
So far, no official iOS 9.2 jailbreak is available to the public. Thus, Apple users are cautioned

Meanwhile, TaiG Team and Pangu both work on iOS 9.2 jailbreak, respectively. In the meantime, both Chinese developers offer iOS 9.1 jailbreaking tools. According to reports, Pangu is close in jailbreaking the iOS 9.2. The hack team previously released a "semi-jailbreak" solution for iOS 9.1, but the semi-jailbreak has incomplete functions and components. Therefore, Apple users are cautioned in downloading the tool to avoid any problems in their devices.
On the other hand, TaiG also offers iOS 9.1 jailbreak, which users can download via Safari browser. The Chinese developers has not announced when they will release the iOS 9.2 jailbreak.
iOS 9.2 is currently available to all Apple users for download. The particular version is not a major update. iOS 9.2 fixes minor bugs and brings security updates. iOS 9 users will just have to wait for further announcements. The iOS 9 brings some of the latest features Apple Pay, Drive, Multi-tasking and improved Siri.

OFFICIALS from banished Holt United are set to discuss the club's future tomorrow following yesterday's expulsion from the Dorset Premier League (DPL).
The Petersham Lane outfit had their FA Charter Standard – and subsequently DPL – status revoked after a brawl saw them exceed the permitted number of disciplinary points for the season.
A Dorset County FA (DCFA) official confirmed on Friday that Holt (or their representatives) had been found guilty of six misconduct charges relating to incidents during and after their home fixture against Hamworthy Recreation on Wednesday, April 9 and the investigation that followed.
Verdicts were passed after hearings on Wednesday, May 14 with the charges against one Rec player dismissed.
Holt had 14 days to lodge appeals with the Football Association over any of the decisions but the national body confirmed on Friday that they had "no record of any appeals" from the club.
That automatically triggered the Dorset FA Charter Standard Working Party's (CSWP) decision to take away their status, a requirement for membership of the DPL, itself a Charter Standard League.
Representatives of the relevant bodies confirmed that Holt had been sent notification of those decisions by the DCFA last Wednesday and the DPL on Friday, though United chairman
Terry Bradford today said he was shocked to learn of the league's official statement.
"We're going to have a meeting but it seems like it's all done and dusted," said Bradford. "At the moment I don't know whether we go down to the next league or whether we're out of football full stop.
"I thought we had to write a letter before June 9 with a statement giving our views and that we had a chance to stay in but nothing surprises me at the moment."
Andrew Battison of the DCFA said there was no direct right of appeal regarding the Charter Standard status, but that the club has 14 days from the date of the decision to appeal their DPL
exclusion with DCFA chief executive Sue Hough.
DPL rules state that: "When a club reaches/surpasses 80 (disciplinary) penalty points and/or reaches/exceeds six misconducts, the team (and subsequent affiliated club) will automatically lose their FA Charter Standard status and be unable to play in the DPL for the following season."
Sunday's league statement referred to "a match towards the end of the season" in which Holt picked up 31 disciplinary points "following incidents during, and at the end of the game" which saw them total 109 disciplinary points and eight misconduct charges for the campaign.
It continued: "Whilst no member of the DPL Management Committee was present at the above match, the league has received a number of emails from independent spectators outlining the scenes that took place at the final whistle, stating that the violence that they witnessed that evening has no place in society, let alone in football. A sentiment echoed by the DPL Management Committee."
Holt United Football Club, who have a total of 30 years membership in the Bespoke Teamwear Dorset Premier Football League over two spells, has had its Charter Standard status revoked by the Dorset FA Charter Standard Working Party for falling foul of Dorset Premier League Rule 1 (E).
League Rule 1 (E) states that any club exceeding 80 disciplinary points and/or six misconduct charges shall have its Charter Standard status removed and cannot play in the DPL the following season.
The inclusion of this Rule was voted for unanimously by all member clubs at last year's annual general meeting held in June. It was introduced following negotiations with the Dorset County Football Association to increase the number of disciplinary points available to DPL clubs before disciplinary action was taken against them. This was to take into account not only the number of games played by member clubs, but also the standard of play and match officials.
Although a number of other clubs were near to the disciplinary points threshold, only Holt United exceeded it, with 109 points, including eight misconduct charges, leaving the Dorset Charter Standard Working Party with, in accordance with DPL rules, no option but to remove the club's Charter Standard status.
The 109 disciplinary points accumulated by Holt United included 31 gained from one match near the end of the season.
Whilst no member of the DPL Management Committee was present at the above match, the league has received a number of emails from independent spectators outlining the scenes that took place at the final whistle, stating that the violence that they witnessed that evening has no place in society, let alone in football. A sentiment echoed by the DPL Management Committee.
During their years in the Bespoke Teamwear Dorset Premier Football League, Holt United have had a reasonable amount of success, winning the league championship in 2006 and finishing as runners-up on two other occasions. As well as their league success the club has also won the League Cup three times, finishing as runners-up once.
It is sad to lose a club, with a total of 30 years membership, this way. But without the Charter Standard award required for membership, the DPL is unable to include Holt United Football Club in its constitution for season 2014-15. However, we do look forward to welcoming them back into the league sometime in the future.
From the League Management Committee - Bespoke Teamwear Dorset Premier League.

A YOUNG woman who burst a tyre on her car after clipping a roundabout while drink driving was disqualified for 19 months yesterday.
Bournemouth Magistrates Court heard that Emma Sullivan, 22, right, had been drinking with her family on Christmas Day last year, and then had three glasses of Buck's Fizz on Boxing Day before heading to work at Tesco in Poole that evening.
A member of the public called police at around 10pm after they saw her car clip the roundabout at Yarrow Road, and on checking her welfare they said she seemed drunk.
When breathalysed she had 90 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath. The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
In mitigation, Ian Daly said Sullivan, of Blandford Road, Poole, would not be troubling the courts again.
"She is not a young lady who takes chances," he said.
"She didn't feel that she was under the influence when she got into the car."
District Judge Stephen Nicholls ordered her to pay a £200 fine, plus costs and victim surcharge, with the option to reduce her ban by 142 days by undertaking a drink driving rehabilitation course.
A man whose car was spotted swerving in Walpole Road was banned from driving for 16 months in court yesterday.
Justin Kent of St Clement's Road, was eventually stopped by police in Boscombe Spa Road late at night on December 23, and was found to have 70 microgrammes of alcohol in 100ml of breath.
The legal limit is 35 microgrammes.
Representing himself at Bournemouth Magistrates Court, the 32-year-old, said he was "incredibly ashamed and sorry" for what he had done.

Call the first five games of the season an extended spring training. The Mets and Phillies are getting it on in chilly Shea. I'll be posting a short analysis after each inning here so if you're not watching you'll know what's going on in a moment's notice.
Hope you join us throughout the day and share your thoughts and Opening Day memories. Enjoy the game.
IN-GAME ANALYSIS: Philadelphia 5, Mets 2
NINTH INNING: Did we say it's only the sixth game of the year?
EIGHTH INNING: Nice job by Aaron Heilman to keep it close.
SEVENTH INNING: Well, they didn't forget to boo over the winter. The Phillies got to Scott Schoeneweis for three runs.
SIXTH INNING: Oliver Perez stopped cruising. He's gone after 5 2/3 innings. Three hits and three walks with two strikeouts.
FIFTH INNING: Perez is looking good.
FOURTH INNING: One is better than none, but Ryan Church could have made a lot of new friends with a hit there.
THIRD INNING: Moving right along. Both pitchers settling in, but Perez walks Chase Utley to open the fourth.
SECOND INNING: Carlos Delgado ripped it. I think he's the Met offensive player that most needs to get off to a hot start. If for no other reason than to get the boo birds off his back.
FIRST INNING: Good job by Perez getting out of trouble. Runners on first and second and one out and he gets Ryan Howard on a fly to center and strikes out Pat Burrell looking. That easily could have gotten the booing going early.

Otley Town 2 Brighouse Old Boys 4
In a way, this game summed up Otley Town's season. Some things were good, while a lot of things were bad in their final West Yorkshire League Premier Division match of the season.
The home side also definitely lacked an edge to their play as they knew before the match started that they could not be relegated no matter what the result.
In an all-too-familiar scenario, Town found themselves a goal down when a long ball out of the Brighouse defence caught the home defence napping, and their striker had a relatively easy task to finish past a stranded Jack Thompson.
Town levelled matters some-what fortuitously when a cross from Jermaine Wilson looped over the goalkeeper and into the net to make it 1-1 at the break.In the second period, Brighouse stepped up the pace, and Town could not live with it.
Three further goals were con-ceded before, in the last 15 min-utes, Otley found a semblance of form and hit back through another Wilson goal, following fine work down the right from Josh Waite.
So the season has ended with Town finishing 13th out of 16 teams – a disappointing position – and plans are already in place to rectify this next year.
Pre-season training will start in early July, and new players are welcome. Please contact Danny Galla-gher (07837-371674) or Jonathan McGee (07951-278440) in the first instance

Fish Tacos, Lightened Upby Dana Angelo White in Meal Makeovers, May 30, 2011
Warm weather is prime time for fish tacos, but some recipes can do some serious damage to your beach-ready body. Try our lightened up versions — even your favorite fried recipes can be made more bikini friendly.
Nutrition Facts
Deep-fried fish, super-sized tortillas and creamy sauces can equal fish tacos with thousands of calories per serving. A few simple swaps will save hundreds of calories:
- Grilled or baked fish is much lighter and just as tasty. We recommend cod, halibut, mahi mahi or tilapia.
- If you are going to fry, do it right with a light batter and oil at the proper temperature to avoid greasy tacos (see our recipe below)
- Use smaller and lower-calorie corn tortillas.
- Use flavorful low-calorie toppers like salsa, hot sauce and fresh vegetables in place of creamy sauces.
Instead of frying, bake fish with a crunchy panko coating. Top with a fresh mango salsa, bursting with flavor.
Panko-Breaded Fish Tacos with Mango Salsa (pictured above)
Yield: 4 servings
1 1/4 pound cod, cut into 16 pieces
1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
1 1/2 cups of panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1 cup mango salsa (or salsa of choice – see tip below)
Shredded green cabbage
Nonstick cooking spray
Tip: Make your own mango salsa by combining chopped mango, jalapeno pepper, red bell pepper, cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
Preheat oven to 450-degrees. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Place flour, eggs and panko in a 3 shallow dishes and season with salt and pepper. Dredge fish in flour, then egg and then breadcrumbs; transfer to wire rack. Drizzle with canola oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden, turning once.
Serve in corn tortillas topped with salsa and shredded cabbage

Saturated Fat: 1 gram
Total Carbohydrate: 45 grams

Sodium: 472 milligrams
Cholesterol: 107 milligrams

Low-cal grilled fish leaves room for a dollop of creamy lightened-up sauce.
Fish Tacos with Chili Mayo & Grilled Corn
Yield: 4 servings
4 ears fresh corn, husks removed
1 pound raw Mahi Mahi fillets
2 teaspoon canola oil
Juice of 1/2 a lime
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 corn tortillas, warmed
2 cups shredded green cabbage
Lime wedges
Spicy Mayo:
2 tablespoons nonfat Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon chile sauce (such as Sriracha)
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Heat grill or grill pan to medium high. Place corn on grill and cook for 4-6 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Season fish with canola oil, lime juice, salt and pepper. Grill for 5-6 minutes per side until cooked through. Transfer to a plate and break up into chunks. For the spicy mayo, place yogurt in a small bowl lined with paper towel for 5 minutes to remove some of the excess liquid. In another small bowl, combine yogurt, mayonnaise, ketchup, chili sauce and lemon juice; whisk to combine. Assemble tacos in tortillas with fish, cabbage and spicy mayo; serve with corn and lime wedges.

The trick to lighter fried foods is to make sure the batter is the right consistency and the oil is at the perfect temperature – otherwise you'll end up with oil overload! Following this method, the fish will only absorb a small fraction of the oil. These crunchy tacos come in at 420 calories per serving, toppings included!
Beer Battered Fish Tacos
Yield: 4 servings
2 cups vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces of dark beer
1 1/4 pounds cod, cut into 16 pieces
8 corn tortillas, warmed
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt
Shredded green cabbage
Quick Pickled Veggies (recipe below)
Hot sauce (optional)
Equipment: deep-fry thermometer
Heat oil to 375-degrees in a pot or Dutch oven (use a thermometer to ensure proper temperature). In a large bowl add flour, cornstarch, salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in beer and mix until combined. Dip fish into batter, allow excess to drip off and transfer to hot oil. Fry fish for 2-3 minutes, turning once with tongs until puffed and golden brown. Remove fish from oil and place on a plate lined with paper towel and season with additional salt if desired. Serve immediately in warmed tortillas topped with Greek yogurt, cabbage, pickled vegetables and hot sauce, if desired.
Tip: Move the fish with tongs after adding to the oil to prevent the fish from sticking the bottom of the pot.

Transfer mixture to a bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours or up to 3 days.

Salary negotiations in anti-violence movements: What are you worth?
When was the last time you asked for a raise?
[crickets chirping?]
Some of you may be snorting…or laughing…or completely dismayed by this question. You may be working at organizations that "don't have it in the budget this year" or "have to ask staff to take a cut to keep everyone on" or, most recently, "the government shutdown will prevent your funds from being disbursed."
These are all very real issues and the reality that most of us face every day. Yes, we are all doing work that we believe in. Yes, it keeps me coming in every day and giving it my all. Yes, I also believe in paying my mortgage.
Another reality that we have to face in our movement is that internalized oppression may be guiding organizational practice. It is so important that we (collective movement) value the work that we (movement members) do. Women may be less likely to negotiate a starting salary. Folks who identify as members of traditionally oppressed groups may not have had the social learning opportunities that guide us in practices like asking for a raise assertively. Even if right now doesn't feel like the right time, it doesn't hurt to have a plan in place.
A resource recently posted in a career group I'm a part of discusses the how-to of salary negotiations. Whether you're new to the movement, or you've been in it (at the same starting salary plus 1% cost of living increase) for a long time, there are some great take-aways.
- Know your market value: think about your relevant experiences and how they will positively impact the job you do. What kind of particular expertise do you offer to your position? Have you earned a degree since beginning in this position?
- Know what you want: You can't just walk into an office and say I need more cash. There are different components in compensation, like retirement options or vacation time. Weigh what's available and where there may be room for some leverage. If your organization can't give you more money, can they offer you an extra week of vacation?
- Know the job: Can you take on more responsibility in exchange for more money? Are there funding opportunities that can fund your work on an innovative project?
While reading this how-to, I realized that I've done some things wrong in the past. I also recognized that I did some things right. If you are in the market for a raise, go in with an assertive but respectful plan. If you are in the position of negotiating another employee's salary for an organization, I know that you care about your people. I know you want them to feel supported. I also know that you need to balance the budget and report to the board. Just consider ways that you or the organizational structure can find ways to value the work that we do.

Gladiators 116 (Ealham 4-18, Clough 3-22, Sidebottom 3-26)
Outlaws 117-9 (Singh 41)
Notts Outlaws won by one wicket
The Director of Cricket was not impressed with the batting from his top order and knows there will need to be a significant improvement to stand a chance against the Royals, who are also battling for their lives.
Warned Newell: ?If we don?t bat better than this Worcestershire will blow us away. Chasing 117 shouldn?t create that kind of problem and we can?t afford to do that again.
?The first four wickets were not clever shots and the top order didn?t perform at all.
?It was a pretty ordinary display of batting from both sides. The wicket wasn?t too good but we have to apply ourselves better.
?Anurag Singh showed it wasn?t impossible and scored runs without taking risks but I never really thought we were winning the game at any stage of our innings.
?At this stage of the season we?ll take a win, however it happens, but we can?t expect the tail to push over the line.?
On a seaming, swinging wicket, Ryan Sidebottom claimed early wickets before Mark Ealham and Gareth Clough finished off the opposition inside 30 overs.
Things got no easier under the floodlights but Singh stuck around for a gusty 41 and a partnership of 19 between Smith and Sidebottom saw us squeeze home.

THE strength of Melbourne's commitment to its theatres has helped Victoria snare a new production of Les Miserables from under Sydney's nose.
Cameron Mackintosh, one of the world's biggest theatre producers, has announced the return of the musical phenomenon to Melbourne after 26 years.
''Melbourne is now the natural home of theatre because it has looked after and increased its theatre stock,'' Mackintosh said from Los Angeles, where he is attending the Oscars on Monday.
In the past 30 years, Mackintosh has toured major shows such as Cats, Les Miserables and Phantom of the Opera all over the world, creating an empire built on spectacular staging and - his point of pride - strong dramatic stories.
''I'm always coming to Melbourne, my last show opened there, Mary Poppins, which was an enormous success at Her Majesty's. It often just works out that the right theatres are open at the right time.''
The new production will be staged at Her Majesty's in June 2014 and was vigorously pursued by the state government.
Casting begins next month.

Council Member Halloran Launches Reelection Campaign
Council Member Dan Halloran launched his campaign for reelection at Verdi's in Whitestone. He was joined by more than 100 constituents, plus supporters from both sides of the aisle, union representatives and key political figures.
After being introduced by 38-year State Senator Frank Padavan, Halloran said, "This campaign is about three things: neighborhoods, neighborhoods and neighborhoods. This is a very special district, where I was raised and have lived my entire life. It's built around a core of one and two-family homes that we've worked hard to own. We need to fight to keep us from becoming just another part of the 'big city.' Our district has received more funds in the last three years, despite the Democratic majority in the Council, because we've fought hard, made the right decisions and delivered for the people in Northeast Queens. We need to continue that fight to make sure our community has the voice in local government it deserves."
Halloran continued, "Our district office has been ranked #1 in constituent services in the Council for the last three years in a row, thanks to our dedication to serving our community. We have closed over 8,000 constituent cases and we continue to strive to serve you even better. Other candidates may talk about what they might do. I can tell you what we have done: we've saved the after-school programs, kept the fire houses open, and enabled places like Douglaston's Alley Pond Environmental Center, College Point's Poppenhusen Institute, and the Bayside Historical Society to go on serving Queens."
"Always working to increase transparency in government, I was the first Council Member to publish my discretionary funding on the internet, before it was mandatory. We are one of the first Council offices to engage with residents in the Participatory Budget program, so taxpayers can get involved with the budget process and have a voice in how their money is spent. Ours is an office working hard every day of the week and around the clock, even manning the District office during the past hurricanes, blizzards and storms 24/7 to help our constituents get City services when they were most in need. "
Council member Eric Ulrich joined his colleague, as did former State Senator Serf Maltese and former Council Member Mike Abel. Three of the Republican mayoral candidates were well represented: John Catsimatidis generously contributed as a Host, while George McDonald and Joe Lhota personally attended the Council Member's kick-off event. When asked if he endorses Halloran for reelection, Lhota replied, "I more than endorse him. I want him to win."
Halloran's fundraising has already met the NYC Campaign Finance Board threshold for full matching funds, which will allow him to spend the maximum amount permitted by law in this election cycle.
