Re: Monday check-in
Good morning!
1. CD 23- great! Ready for my next cycle so I can call the RE and get things scheduled.
2. Saturday was my niece's 1st birthday party. I cannot believe she's been here that long!
3. Some kitchen things: a pastry cutter, pastry brush, biscuit cutters, and a paper shredder!
1. cd27, good other than K not adjusting in the am to DST. She's ok at night with going to bed later, but still getting up at same time.
2. it's a week highlight - K and I went to Ft. Myers and she just LOVED the beach and ocean! She didn't want to leave. It was so fun watching her. I was a little worried about how well she would travel since last time she wasn't so mobile, but she did great and entertained everyone on the plane.
3. I haven't even thought about 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
Where/How
DD#1 = almost 19 months. LO#2 = 19w3d pregnant. My stomach is in knots this morning - waiting to hear about my sister!
Weekend Highlight
We went over to BIL/SIL's house to help my IL's babysit my niece Allie (really, just to have dinner with them). At first, my niece and Paige did not get along very well - both are very "mine" oriented, but by the end, they were BFF's. They were both in their hallway yelling "ECHO!" - it's one of Paige's favorite games. I went back with them, and Paige was trying to give Allie a hug - so cute. Allie wanted nothing to do with it. :-)
Holiday Wish List
A Kate Spade bag, a pair of LL Bean slippers, Sex and the City 2, and gift cards.
CD3, feel AF-ish but otherwise good.
My highlight was not having to pack a suitcase! And getting our Christmas lights up (no, I'm not turning them on yet). And going to the park with Ella.
Wish list: boring, but a new Travel Cosmetic and Makeup Bag, hopefully in the Baroque pattern. I'd also love a new mattress, so that might be our "family" gift.
1. 7w4d post partum. I feel pretty good - I slept from 11-7:15, which was nice. I guess, Scarlett is sleeping through the night. She went down at 8:30 last night (but was randomly up making noises from 10-11? not crying but just talking to herself) and got up at 7:30. She had been sleeping from 10/11-6, which was pretty nice, too. So I'm definitely feeling good.
2. Both kids slept until 7:30 yesterday morning, which was awesome, since it was the night we gained an hour. I thought they'd both be up before 6 or something awful like that. Pretty much my life revolves around sleep.
3. Hmm nothing exciting - mostly stuff for my kindle - light, cover/case, gift cards to buy books. A pair of Tom's.
1. Where and how? 19w1d...Feeling pretty good!
2. Weekend highlight? Saturday night, DH and I took SS to my IL's and came home and had an awesome dinner. We then sat on the couch in candlelight and talked and took turns giving each other a foot rub. It was just perfect and lovely. We also narrowed our name list down to three names for Baby C.
3. What's on your holiday wish list? I thought about that over the weekend. I have no idea what I want. Honestly, my brain is so focused on what we need and need to do for this baby, I haven't even given much thought to what I even want for myself. I'm going to need to come up with something because I have to do a list for two gift exchanges (one on each side of the family).oh how i love the baroque pattern!!!
1.8w2d - feeling good, as long as I keep eating.
2. Date night
3. A speedlite
1. CD21. Today is my first day of work and Isabella's first day at the sitter. I spent about four hours with her yesterday while Isabella played/napped and I trust her completely, but the idea of being away everyday makes me a little nauseous. I hope she doesn't freak out and takes at least a short nap.
2. I got new glasses so I can see again, and Isabella seems to be feeling better.
3. I really want a sewing machine, maybe some new cookbooks, a new Purdue hoodie since mine is old, gift cards for new clothes would be nice, as would restaurant gift cards, and gift cards to Lowe's or something since we have a lot of home projects we'd like to do. Oh, I also want an iPhone, but that will probably just wait until I can upgrade.
1. CD7...feeling great.
2. Not working...and freezer cooking.
3. A baby?! I honestly have no idea...
TTC #2 since 9/09 --- mild PCOS; Endometriosis
IUI x4 = BFN
IVF = sometime in 2012
1. First week of BCP. I'm feeling pretty good.
2. I got to see my niece yesterday!
3. As of now I need some new bras, some Philosophy, some make-up, I need a new sweeper and living room rug. I also want a new camera and living room furniture, I'd say the first few are realistic and the last two are my dreams. Oh yes, I need a new hair dryer too.
1. where & how: cd25 -- so far so good
2. weekend highlight: saw For Colored Girls. OH.EM.GEE one of the best movies i've ever seen!
3. wish list: kinect for the xbox360
1. 3rd week of pills.
2. Got some cleaning done. Boring.
3. I have no idea!
1. Where and how?
18m pp and 12w pregnant. Feeling better each day, but still not 100%.
2. Weekend highlight?
We had our NT scan on Friday and got to see the baby just bouncing around in there. We received limited results so far and they seem pretty positive, just waiting on the blood test results. Ryan got started on the crown molding project in our dining room and foyer. I'm so excited for it to be finished although it's going to take several weeks.
3. What's on your holiday wish list?
A speedlight for my camera.
Morning
1. 23w1d Feeling great. We get to see Nugget again tomorrow afternoon
2. It was a great weekend filled with a ton of highlights
3. A grill pan
2. Yesterday was a great day! Met up with Ashley and her wonderfully hilarious and fun family. Went to IKEA and got all kinds of goodies. Abe came home from drill. Wonderful day!
3. This camera bag from Etsy:
And this rug from IKEA:
New pots/pans and wooden spoons/utensils.
1. Where and how? 26w3d pg. I started getting some weird stomach muscle pains last night but the on-call nurse wasn't too worried about it and it went away when I laid down. If it starts back up again today, I'll go to the OB but otherwise I'm just assuming that I've forgotten what it is like to be pg and that it must be my stomach muscles stretching out.
2. Weekend highlight? Girl's weekend in Indy. We just shopped, hung out and ate great food all weekend. Thanks for all the recs, girls. We had a blast!
3. What's on your holiday wish list? A new camera lens, a light scoop and a few things for the kitchen.
1. No idea. Had a moment of panic this weekend when I realized that the antibiotic I'm on could mess with my birth control. It's been so long since that even would have been an issue that's I'd forgotten about it until I read the little warning on the bottle. So not ready for another kid anytime soon.
2. Crafty weekend with my two best friends
3. I want a new blender (one that doesn't leave chunks of ice in my drinks), new bath towels, and I want someone to buy me the Pottery Barn Kids Christmas stockings that I feel like I need to have but am having a hard time justifying.
1. cd 10 feel good. Not bad for a Monday.
2. Spending time with my mom. She's been busy getting ready to move so it was nice to see both days this weekend!
3. An iPad, a dutch oven, some new sweaters (I've discovered that I suddenly hate all the ones I have!), and a fun new board game...I'm open to suggestions!
1) CD4. Feeling ok, a bit tired.
2) Seeing friends and hanging out with DH.
3) The same thing as always, for this to be my last holiday season without a child.
1. Where and how? 33wks 4d. Feeling good today, this weekend I was wiped. No matter how much I rested I couldn't find energy. This morning on the other hand, I'm woke up before the alarm and was ready for the day.
2. Weekend highlight? Hanging the mobile in the nursery and going to the Drake in Chicago for a tea party baby shower! So fun!
3. What's on your holiday wish list? Well....I went ahead and purchased a gift I wanted because I wanted to use it before our little guy arrived. It's a label maker! I'm an organization freak and I cannot believe I put off purchasing this. I bought a bunch of different meats and now they are all organized and labeled in the freezer, next up? Labeling attacking the pantry!
1. on BCP. who knows!! Feeling fine. Nothing to report.
2. My parents were visiting this weekend and we managed to get quite a few unfinished projects finished.
3. ipad, jewelery box. haven't really thought about much else!! In un-holiday news, I think (pretty sure) I'm getting an iphone this week! YAY!!
1. 10w4/5d pg. Still feeling tired, but otherwise great!
2. Seeing out-of-town friends at an engagement party and in my hometown.
3. Vera Bradley diaper bag (undecided on pattern) and sweaters.
1. 5w0d and feeling good still! Hoping the morning sickness stays away... so far so good...
2. Making it through my 2 events. They were fun, but I am SO glad they're over... now onto writing my 10 page research paper due Thursday. /gulp
3. I don't know what to ask for this year. There's nothing that I really want. An iPad or Kindle would be nice, but... I dunno!
1. Rowan's almost 13 months... time flies!
2. We went to the CM on Saturday and that was a lot of fun. Yesterday we went and got a new Christmas tree and set it up (no decorations yet). I know, we're totally ahead of the game.
3. We'll probably spend our money to buy a dresser for our room to match our other one from IKEA.
1. 1st week of pills. Fine.
2. I have no highlights. This was one terrible weekend. Well, Mads adjusted to DST fine, so maybe that's a highlight.
3. Honestly, I haven't even thought about it. Maybe a mommy necklace with Mad's name on it.
1. CD22 - feeling fine, just tired from the one-day round trip to Kansas City on Saturday.
2. I flew out to Kansas City on Saturday for a friend's wedding and I'm so glad that I went. It was a beautiful wedding!
3. Jake and I will probably do a joint gift to each other - either a baby-free trip back to DC in Jan or an ipad. My birthday is right before Christmas, so I have to come up with other ideas! Probably some new perfume, a new watch and a wallet to match my new diaper bag/purse.
1. CD 7 and feel pretty good. Nick got up early this morning b/c of dst, so I'm a little tired, but I'm sure he'll be adjusted in the next day or two. I feel like daycare speeds along the process b/c they keep the same schedule.
2. Weekend highlight was picking out tile to re-do our fireplace. I am so excited aboout it! Then DH and I went to the Yard House for dinner. There isn't one in Indy but it is so delicious!
3. I want stuff for the house. Accessories, curtains, other fun stuff like that. I also kind of want a wii, but dh is very anti-video game.
1) 7 months post partum, feeling decent
2) went to a friends 30th birthday party
3) a new hand mixer, VS flannel PJ's. That's all I got so far. I'm pretty boring.
1. LO#1 15 months PP LO #2 8 days PP. Tired.......YAWN! Nora got Evies cold so she is super snotty at 8 days old. It makes the whole....is she still breathing thing even worse. I'm terrified to go to sleep! Her pedi saw her this morning though and gave her the once over and we are still in the clear, just really snotty.
2. We survived our first weekend alone with 2u2. It wasn't as bad as I expected especially since Evie has a raging cold and was super clingy. There was one point on Saturday morning where Scott, Evie, Nora and both dogs and I were on the couch all snuggled together watching the Backyardigans with Evie and it just melted my heart. My whole world was on that couch and I felt so blessed.
3. Gosh, I don't even know. I think I just want a lot of gift cards to buy new work clothes. I donated almost ALL of my non maternity clothes because I am sick of making my body fit the clothes and want to buy clothes to fit my new body. make sense?
1. CD16, feeling good - waiting for O.
2. Finding out that my cousin is expecting #2! Her DD is only 19 months, so they are going to have 2U2 - I'm so excited for them!
3. DH & I are only doing stockings this year, because I'm calling to order this tonight:
1. 36 weeks and feeling okay. Induction is scheduled for next Monday so yay for only having one more week to go!
2. Finished up shopping for last minute baby items. Got a Moby and am going to practice this week tying it...not sure if I'll like it or not.
3. Hmmm...hadn't really thought about it since we've been so consumed with preparing for the little one.
1. Where and how? I have no idea.
2. Weekend highlight? Absolutely not a single highlight. I am such a downer but we were at the in-laws this weekend and Elli did not sleep good and doesn't feel good. The 2 combined made for a grumpy mama and a grumpy baby.
3. What's on your holiday wish list? New dishes and now that Jac posted it. I LOVE that rug from Ikea.
1. Where and how? 16w 3d and feeling pretty good. I am trying to ward of feelings of nervousness though. My OB had said I'd get an u/s once a month b/c of chronic high blood pressure but the power went out at my last appt and I didn't get one. I won't get one at my next appt b/c our big u/s is schduled for 2 weeks later. I know I'm being irrational, but I keep having nervous feelings about something going wrong and we won't know until December!
2. Weekend highlight? Didn't have a weekend highlight, unless you count the end of my shift on Sunday - I worked 12 hour shifts all 3 days.
3. What's on your holiday wish list? I'd really like some new cookware, not sure what kind and somce Cutco knives. A really need a new watch or to have my old one reapaired. Other than that, all I can focus on is baby stuff and things we need/want to do to the house.
1. 24+ weeks pregnant. doing well. this kid is extremely active!
2. worked on Jocelyn's big girl room! We pulled up the carpet and put down the wood floor that is in the rest of the main level, then put together he big girl bed. The PBK bedding is so adorable. Still need to paint and get a dresser, rug, etc. She already loves her bed, but we are waiting for the matching rail to arrive before we try letting her sleep in it.
3. What I really want is for someone to sort through my photos and organize them into albums. Not gonna happen. I usually ask for Snapfish gift cards, but I never get around to doing anything with the prints. Otherwise I am asking for exciting stuff like shelving for our laundry room. Chris and I both want new bikes since ours were stolen. I've asked for my guitar to be restrung for probably 3 years (not something I'd take the time to do myself) but no one has ever taken me up on that.
1. CD 36. Feel fabulous. Not sure why AF hasn't shown up. Will probably be testing by the end of the week if it's still not here. My body was clockwork for over a year. And the last few months, it's been insane. We didn't DTD for a week while I was fertile and I'm gonna be really confused if we are pg.
2. Friend's wedding in Lexington. It was a 3.5 hour drive up for 4.5 hours there and 3.5 hours back, but it was totally worth it. Going to a wedding as a married couple is so much more fun than going as a single woman!
3. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks now. I honestly don't know what I want. Maybe a new purse?
1. Where and how?
CD18. So tired, I think DST hit Gracie lastnight. She was up at 3 and then up for good at 5:30. Ughhh. I hope tonight goes better.
2. Weekend highlight?
Went to my nieces' play (Wizard of Oz). She did amazing. We left at intermission b/c I had to go to work Friday night. I got emotional seeing Gracie sitting on my mom's lap sooo intrigued by the play. Watching every thing that was going on not saying a word. So sweet.
3. What's on your holiday wish list?
Cookie sheets, pillows, pj's, programmable crockpot, dvds, and maybe some Philosophy.
