1. 41w2d pregnant. Obviously I'm ready to be done and have been a bit of an emotional roller coaster. One second, I'm at peace with everything; the next, I'm crying because it's not fair. Poor Brian. Physically I feel great!
2. Tomorrow is Brian's birthday - I have a feeling we'll be at the mall returning the stuff I bought him as a gift. I don't think he'll like it. I also promised I'd cook or take him to the dinner of his choice. My mom is coming Sunday afternoon to stay at our house while we're in the hospital early next week.
3. I usually make either fried eggs and toast with orange wedges, or waffles and sausage. Mmmmm. About once or twice a month we go out to breakfast. Mmmmm, breakfast.
1) Just waiting on for this cycle to end -- and wondering why it's such a long one. Also wishing my allergies would calm down a bit.
2) We're hosting my SD's high school grad open house on Sunday. Most of the weekend will be spent getting ready for that. With any luck we'll have time tomorrow to take my nephew and SS to the aquatic center.
3) On Sunday's that we have the kids, we usually have pancakes (with blueberries or chocolate chips), turkey bacon, and sometimes scrambled eggs. Once in a while we'll shake things up and have french toast or turkey sausage instead. What can I say, we're pretty boring people.
1. first week of pills, feeling a little sore from running yesterday, but it's a "good" sore
2. leaving after work tonight for a Saturday wedding at ND!
3. we used to make pancakes or omelets all the time, but we haven't recently. On Saturdays when we're home, we wake up around 9, we have a little coffee & cereal, and then I have zumba at 10 (don't want to eat too heavy before that).
1. Where and how? 34w3d. No pregnancy complaints--just a lot going on personally / career-wise that's making it hard to keep it together all the time.
2. Weekend plans? Heading home for a wedding, a baby shower for me and a baby shower for my cousin who is due 10 days after me. You'd think we'd just have a joint baby shower instead of making the whole family come to one on Saturday and one on Sunday but she is a selfish little winch and she wants her own shower--wahhhh! Obviously you see how I feel about that whole situation.
3. Any weekend breakfast rituals you like sharing with your SO? Saturday is breakfast as usual but I usually make breakfast on Sunday. I like waffles the best, he likes pancakes, we both love breakfast burritos. We mix it up a lot.
1) CD26. feeling good because it's finally FRIDAY! this has been the longest week EVA.
2) going to look at trucks tomorrow and hopefully spend some time at dad's pool. church on sunday. so not much of anything (yay!)
3) not really. everyone but me sleeps really late. sometimes i'll make fried bread (like french toast but instead of syrup, dip in cinnamon/sugar after coming out of hot skillet -- yummy!!!!). sometimes the hub and i will go out to breakfast when we don't have kids.
1. 30w1day!!! Yay! Feeling good still, I even think my swelling is getting better in my feet, but could be b/c DH has been rubbing them for me. Anyhow I'll take it.
2. We have a surprise birthday party to go to tomorrow, other than that, nothing really. I hope to make it to the pool.... I have been dying to swim for some reason.
3. Sundays after church in the summer we go to Rick's Boatyard and have brunch outside... we love it.
BFP #2 11/4/12 EDD 7/20/12 missed M/C 12/13/12 @8w5d D&C 12/21/12
DX 2/7/13 with an alloimmunity + for anti-paternal antibodies started Lovenox daily & BA
BFP 2/16/13 EDD 10/28/13
1. CD 11. Starting OPKs tomorrow. Since this is a break cycle (I'd be due a few days after BIL's wedding in March - in FL) and I've been on the Met for 3 months now, my OB wants me to both chart and use OPKs to see if I'm o'ing. If not - we start Clomid next cycle.
2. Tonight - Meeting my sister, mom and other sister for my sister's wedding gown fitting!!!! I'm also picking up my BM dress! I'm so excited to see her in her gown again. The dress just makes her glow! It's so fun! Saturday - Cookout at DH's aunt's house in the afternoon. Then one of my friends and I are going to dinner and a movie. Much needed girl time, considering neither of us get out much together. Sunday - Open house in the afternoon, so we'll probably take Haley to the pool for some fun in the sun!
3. We always make breakfast on the weekends. Usually eggs and pancakes, waffles or french toast. DH and Haley both love breakfast. We'll make cinnamon rolls sometimes too!
1. 17w3d, feeling pretty good these days, waiting to feel the first baby movements. I felt a few random things but I have no idea what I'm going to feel so I don't know if it is baby movement or not.
2. We have a wedding this evening, tomorrow we are going to try and paint our laundry and second bathroom that DH just got done completely redoing. Sunday is church and then we are heading to DH's grandparents to celebrate his grandma's b-day
3. Nope we are really boring b-fast people. Sometime he will make muffins or cinnamon rolls, he is more of a b-fast person than I am.
2. Weekend plans? Celebrating the June birthdays + Father's Day with the ILs on Sunday. Not entirely sure about the rest of the weekend, but I'm hoping to get some shopping done. I'm sure it will rain like usual and we'll watch movies instead of going outside. So sick of rain.
3. Any weekend breakfast rituals you like sharing with your SO? I'm more of a breakfast person than he is, so a lot of times we'll sleep in, bum around for a bit and then just have lunch. But I do like trying new breakfast recipes occasionally to find stuff we both enjoy - had some strawberry muffins a couple weeks ago that DH said were his favorite kind I've made.
1. Somewhere between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 weeks pregnant. Yay!
2. Fishers Festival on Saturday and NKOTB Sunday night. And yes, I'm super excited about it.
3. We love making breakfast together one morning - although it doesn't happen every weekend. Either eggs/biscuits/gravy/bacon or belgian waffles. And now I'm hungry.
1. 3 months pp. Feeling great. Officially started back to work. In July I'll be working about 80hrs/week with 4 days off total and a weeklong stretch of night. Nothing like trial by fire.
2. My last weekend before the above starts, so I'm hoping to just enjoy time with Chris and Jo, and get some work done around the house and yard.
3. We always go out for breakfast one weekend morning - something I look forward to all week. We have a rotation of 6-7 places around town we frequent, but we're always on the look-out for someplace new!
1. 18 weeks today! ?Not sure if I've felt any baby movements yet, the other day I felt like I was being punched from the inside 3 times in a row, but nothing like that since. ?I think I'm already starting to nest, I've been freaking out about getting things done around the house, it's a pit!! ?
2. Bridal shower for a friend tomorrow, then birthday party for our twin godson's on Sunday. ?Should be a fun weekend.
?3. If we're both up, we make pancakes or waffles, but most of the time, I sleep in, so we fend for ourselves.??
1. Where and how? 12DPO. To be honest, I feel like sh*t. My tummy has felt unsettled for two days. Nerves? I don't know. Anyhow, I feel great emotionally, spiritually, etc. Stupid tummy.
2. Weekend plans? Tonight - NADA. Hooray! Saturday - work in the morning, going to a wedding in the evening. Sunday - nothing in the morning/early afternoon, engagement session in the evening.
3. Any weekend breakfast rituals you like sharing with your SO? Most Sunday mornings, Abe will make us pancakes. He makes the best pancakes ever! They're always fluffy and never burnt, like when I cook them.
2) Today is Larry's birthday, so we'll probably go out for dinner. Tomorrow, if the weather isn't unbearable, we'll go to the big jazz festival here. Sunday, we have a family reunion - I'm so excited for everyone to meet/see Paige!!
1. CD 6. Super short AF this month--3 days! Feel like I was hit by a MACK truck though, which is really bad because of #2.
2. Tonight starts Homecoming, where we bring all of our missionaries who are on furlough back to Louisville for 5 days of pampering and fellowship. It's a lot of fun, just a lot of work. It overlaps with a mondo convention that is here in Louisville this year and starts on Monday. Between now and next Friday, I work 80 hours. The best part will be playing with the babies. Yay!
3. I LOVE breakfast, but since I'm still single, I don't have a fun routine. When I'm married, I really want to do pancake Saturdays or something like that.
1. Where and how?36w4d. The heat in Indy is killing me! my feet are ginormous! Other than that feeling pretty good.
2. Weekend plans? Last girls trip with my 3 best friends. We rented a cabin down in brown county for the weekend that has a pool!! I'm excited to float in the pool all weekend with the girls. Even though they are trying to convince me to rock a 2 piece (that would be scary!)
3. Any weekend breakfast rituals you like sharing with your SO? During college football season its always eggs, bacon, biscuts and fruit for college gameday in prep for the ND and Purdue games.
1. It's just a normal week - although I did have horrible cramps wednesday night.
2. Tonight is date night with dinner and a movie. Tomorrow is group run in the AM, car wash, errands, outlet mall shopping and dinner. Sunday is just cleaning up around the house some and working on pulling weeds.
3. I love Sunday mornings when we do sweet potatoes, eggs and bacon or waffles. Yum!

1. 31w3d along! Just feeling very achy in my back & hips...which is really no change for me.
2. My baby shower!!! So excited to see all the gals My IL's are also coming to stay with Dh and I for the weekend - they're from NY, so we don't get to see them that often....and I just adore them!!!
3. When I feel "up" for it, I like to make French Toast & bacon for Dh and I - but the poor guy hasn't had a good homemake breakfast from me in awhile!
Gracie's big 1st bday party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhh! I can't wait. We are having about 45people coming. I went a big overboard. It's going to be her only party tho that we have all family of both sides invited and friends. Next year will just be imediate family. Bittersweet weekend tho. I'll be ready for a couple glasses of wine by the end of the night.
3. Any weekend breakfast rituals you like sharing with your SO?
When he isn't working I usually make french toast and bacon.
1. 8 weeks 3 days Had a few more tummy issues this week, but I only threw up once, which is nice I'm having the hugest aversion to steak right now, which is driving both DH and I bonkers!!! I'm hoping that will end after first Tri, haha. First appt. is Monday....can't wait, although I am fairly relaxed given that I've had an ultrasound already (long story) and got to see the heartbeat
2. Nothing big, other than maybe we'll go see 1 or 2 movies
3. DH isn't the biggest breakfast person, so not really. Sometimes we'll do scrambled eggs and bacon/toast Most of the time we have it we'll go out, so he can get brunch and I can get breakfast
Re: Friday check-in
