My grandson is expected to make his entrance into this world at around 3 am.
DD did so well in labor. It hurt me so much to see her in so much pain. They finally gave her an epidural at around 11pm. She is probably going to be able to get a little bit of sleep. Not me! I have insomnia
anyway, so there is no way I could fall asleep now. I came home to
let my dog out and give them some time alone before she has to start pushing.

But you do have to carve out sometime for excercise - you really do - get up 1/2 hr earlier - walk in place as you are watching tv - get some hand weights and use them as you watch t.v. too - I know you don't paint your nails EVERY night - or the mask - get your daughter involved - go for walks on the weekends - you can fit it it - you just have to start.. Once you do - you won't hate it as much - I can't say I am a gym rat by any means - but I do now go 3-4 days a week sometimes 5 - and if I don't go i sort of miss it - but I still have fights with myself to make me go... | You know, the part of my brain that actually controls THINKING, knows you are right. I could do more and I should do more. I will try harder, I promise!

It can take a day or 2 for the fill to settle in - sometime 2 weeks 
The band is a very fickle items - it's diff for all of us.. No Pat answers

Power of positive thinking - that the word TRY OUT of your vocabulary and insert the word WILL - If you think you can you will if you think you can't you won't.. This is my motto :biggrin2:

Good question...
like Janet says, no pat answer,
but general guidelines...
you're not "grazing" for food between meals,
satisfied with a "bandster" portion,
losing weight consistently.
My doctor's recommendation...
if you haven't lost anything for several weeks,
hungry between meals,
eating too much,
then you're probably not "tight" enough yet.

Congratulations! Enjoy this child, and this time of your life.
My DH has decided that when/if his daughters produce off-spring he will NOT be grampa or any such a thing. He will be Dad the sequel. Vanity, thy name is...

Congrats on the grandbaby. I have to say that I'm a grandma to my step-daughter's little girl who is now 3 years old and I love it. The only thing better that could happen would be for my son and his wife of 6 years to have one of their own, but regardless I love em all to death. Enjoy being a grandmother, it's awesome!!

Thank you everyone! His name is Wesley David. DD's dad's name was David but her cousin already used the name. Wesley is named after my
SIL's grandfather.
Janet, I am flying. All of us will be flying down together.
