Re: Friday check-in
1. Where and how? CD28, not sure if I Od or not...illness = wacky chart. Feel ok.
2. Weekend plans? Going to one or both of these exhibits: Diana and Bodies Revealed
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? We usually do a "family" gift. Last year was a TV. This year is looking like a mattress. I'd like to throw some stuff in his stocking though...1. 11w6d, good
2. christmas party, relaxing
3. Yes. A video game for him. I dont' know what he is getting me.
1. First week of BCP. Feeling sleepy, but that is because I worked until 11pm last night and back in at 7am. BLAH!
2. Tonight- Cookies exchange. Tomorrow- Christmas shopping and work. Sunday- Boys are having their pictures done for Christmas. May take all three to see Santa too. Also since my dad is Jewish, we will be celebrating Hanukkah and get to open presents! :-)
3. Yes and I have no idea! What I was going to get him, my mom got it for him. We may just get a family gift together. We need a new mattress. DH thinks we "need" a 60 inch 3D t.v. NOT!
1) CD14, waiting on O.
2) DH was supossed to be gone this weekend for a bachelor party, but that was cancelled. I'm catering a dinner on Monday for 35ish people, so we're going to Cincinatti for Jungle Jim's to get groceries. Other than that, we have no plans, so we'll have plenty of time for BD'ing!
3) We ordered a new car (it will be in in Jan), so we're only doing stockings. I got DH an infared thermometer, kleen kanteen, and a "dad's guide to pregnancy" book (hopefully I'll be able to give it to him!) for his stocking.
2. Weekend plans? Making hair bows and working on the nursery. I am super excited about both.
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? We decided to take it really easy this year with 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave in the near future. I got him a sweater, a tiny ND outfit for Lewie, a2010 ND Intramural Championship shirt from a conference (always his favorite gift every year no matter how many other awesome gifts I give him) and our yearly ornament. I hope that he is getting me a stamped necklace from Etsy with both baby's names on it...I dropped enough hints, that's for sure. It was like my e-ring all over again.1) 20 weeks today!!
Big u/s scheduled for Monday morning - I can't wait!
2) Clean the house and finally get it decorated for Christmas. I have some end of semester "homework" I need to get finished up too. Hard to believe I'm 1/3 of the way thru nursing school already.
3) Usually we do, but I'm not sure if we will this year or not (with the baby coming and me being off of work so early).We'll do stockings for sure though. So far he's getting a cheap watch (for work) and a mini SD card for his cell phone.
Yay I finally get to join in
1. Where and how?
12 weeks 1 day. Woke up with a headache but haven't been sick yet. Pretty much been sick everyday since 6 weeks and the nausea lass all day.
2. Weekend plans?
Apparently none now since Jake told me last night that they are having him work his day off saturday, and then work extra hours Sunday. The extra money will be nice, but he is now working 10 days straight
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting?
We normally do. However, last weekend we bought a new washer and dryer, so that is our present to each other this year.
1. Lost track this cycle, but think my O date is close. I've been having weird little cramps on and off the past couple days, but I'm assuming they're ovulation related.
2. Possibly taking Isabella to the children's museum for the first time! If the roads are bad we'll probably just stay home and get the house in order.
3. I'm getting a sewing machine, and probably a gift card for supplies. I'm not sure what he'll put in my stocking. He's getting a video game and probably really lame practical stuff in his stocking. He wants this game so bad that I don't think he'll care what's in his stocking.
1. Where and how? 22w5d I feel good. I've been sleeping GREAT! As soon as I'm down, I'm out. Posted some pics on FB today. I really look pregnant now. LOL
2. Weekend plans? Tonight we really need to get stuff done around the house. Tomorrow, more housework and then going to my sisters to have dinner and celebrate my other sister's b-day. Sunday, hopefully just grocery shopping and relaxing.
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? Yes. IDK what I'm getting but I bought DH shoes, Jameson, Top Gun on Blu-Ray, a sweater he wanted, and a few other odds and ends.1. Where and how? 37wks 1d Feeling pretty good. I woke up last night to some cramps and back ache. I knew it wasn't the real thing but I couldn't fall back asleep so I have been up baking since 4am.
2. Weekend plans? DH is running in our local Santa Race tomorrow morning and I am walking it. After the race we are hosting an ornament party/brunch for 20 people. Should be a good time despite the weather forecast! I hope it just puts everyone in the spirit of things!
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? Yes. This year my DH is in serious need of an overhaul on his work clothes/accessories so I am getting him a few new shirts, a ton of new socks, and some eco-friendly lunch bag/snack bag replacements (his are pretty cruddy)
I believe that was at the Science and Industry Museum here in Chicago a few years back. If it is the same thing it's pretty interesting!
1. Almost 4 weeks PP. Exhausted...Sam does not sleep! He's screams all night and I think I'm going to go freakin nuts. (okay...just venting a little)
2. No weekend plans...probably just try to sleep. My husband just caught a horrible cold so we'll just hang out at home.
3. We usually do but this is our first year with me as a SAHM and we'll probably just save the money we would've spent.
1. Where and how?
CD23 - feeling fine
2. Weekend plans?
Tonight - craft bazaar
Tomorrow - Children's Museum & 1st bday party for my niece
Sunday - catching up around the house
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting?
Usually we do not.
And don't get me started on gifts. My mom and I aren't speaking because she's pouting since Thanksgiving since I suggested that the adults not exchange gifts. I'm pretty sure she's an 8 year old girl.
2. Weekend plans?Christmas Homes Tour tonight. Relaxing and editing tomorrow. Session on Sunday.
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting?I'm getting him cologne, the traditional pair of boxers, a gift card for Bass Pro Shops (he wants an aluminum climbing stand) and some candy. We're keeping it simple this year. I think finishing projects around the house and accessorizing a bit is our big gift to one another.
1. 13.5 months PP.
2. 2 Christmas parties!
3. We aren't exchanging gifts this year and instead are just buying more stuff for Rowan. I'll probably get some things for his stocking though.
1. 13.5 months pp and almost 5 weeks pregnant
2. We are going to Iowa for the funeral.
3. Yes, but I have no clue what I am getting him. He's not helping me with ideas either.
1. Where and how? 39w5d. Ahhh!!! I.am.so.ready.
2. Weekend plans? ^^^^
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? We do sometimes. This year, we each got new dress coats. Nothing big. We probably won't do anything else.
1. CD 19, 1 DPO. Tired, but good. AND NOT PREGGERS!!!!
2. Saturday: DH works, then we'll chill and go to Festival of Christmas Joy, which is the annual Christmas musical concert here on campus. Sunday is church, then staying for a membership class (which they call The Skinny and I love). Monday is the annual campus Dinner Banquet called Miller Scott. It's pretty much like prom, but no dancing and we get dinner instead. The faculty and staff do all of the food prep and serving and provide entertainment. It's gonna be awesome.
3. We did small ones last year. This year, we're giving Costa Rica to each other.
1. CD8. Feel okay. I just NEED for Nick to start sleeping better. CIO is on the schedule for this weekend, becuase he feels fine, he just wants to cuddle.
2. We have random stuff this weekend. The will be finishing up with our mantle on Saturday and then DHs holiday dinner is that night. Our sitter is coming early so that we can shop for Christmas for Nick. Then Sunday, I'm putting up our Christmas tree.
3. We sometimes do but this year, the new fireplace is more than enough for Christmas. We are also going on a trip the day after Christmas that we are SO looking forward to.
1. 26w5d Feeling good
2. Going shopping with my momma tomorrow. Then lounging the rest of the weekend
3. We planned on not doing gifts this year, but then we ended up buying each other stuff. I got him the Orange Nintendo DSi and a Wii game.
1. Where and how? Haley is almost 3 and Ashlyn is 6 months. I'm feeling excited for the weekend! Didn't sleep all that well last night, but don't feel overly exhausted either.
2. Weekend plans? Shopping, baking, watching IU bball and Colts fball
3. Do you and your SO exchange gifts for the holidays? And if so, what are you getting? We usually exchange gifts. I'm getting DH some shoes for sure (one of the things on his list). Otherwise, I have NO clue what to get him this year. Thought about getting him a watch from ClassWatch.

The rest of this weekend DH will be studying and Annie and I will be hanging out, hopefully decorating the house for Christmas. I also have 60 essays on the Crucible to grade that I MUST FINISH since I'm getting 30 more on Macbeth on Monday. Shoot me.
3. Yes, this year we set a $50 limit for each other, and so far I haven't come up with something that I think is special and meaningful enough, which he will also enjoy. Maybe I'll get some ideas here!
1. CD14. 1st cycle actively TTC so I'm a little nervous and freaked out about TTC. Those of you that know about my pregnancy with Z should understand why I'm so freaked out. :S
2. RELAXING!!!!
3. Yes. He is getting one big gift from me, his parents, sister, etc. It's going to be one of those garage storage systems with cabinets, drawers, table top, etc. for the garage in the new house.
1. almost 5 wks pp and 16mths pp. Starting to get into a routine, and I know as soon as I say that it will change!
2. Cookie exchange tonight!! WOOT for adult time, even though I'm bringing Nora. My sister comes from Oregon on Saturday and Maybe a trip to Ikea on Sunday!

2. Cookie exchange tonight, IU game tomorrow, colts' game Sunday. Find places for our wedding gifts & start thank you notes.
3. Yes, but we havent talked about a budget yet. It's been a crazy $ year between baby purchases, Todd's car needing 3 repairs, rings, and some house projects.
1. Waiting for the worst AF in ages to leave! Feeling otherwise normal.
2. Hanging with friends tomorrow night, other than that I don't know what we'll be doing.
3. We do usually exchange gifts but I don't have a clue what I'm getting.
1. 28 weeks pregnant. I'm getting over a nasty cold but otherwise feeling well.
2. I'm on call at the hospital all night tonight. The in-laws are watching Jocelyn so Chris can go to his work holiday party. Tomorrow I am going to try to catch up on household chores since I've been on call at the hospital 3 of the last 8 days/nights. I'd rather just catch up on sleep, but I know I'll feel better if I get some things accomplished. Hoping to get some presents wrapped and under the tree, and maybe we will finish Jocelyn's play kitchen too.
3. Yes, but we have a low $$ limit since we'd rather spend money on stuff for the house, like finishing little details in the basement, and buying gifts for family members. We'll probably spend $50-$100 on little stuff for each other. Not sure what I'll get him yet....
1. 1dpIUI (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Hopeful
2. Cleaning the house, putting up the tree, and baking Christmas cookies with my momma.
3. We usually do, but aren't this year due to a new house, new car, and TTC expenditures.
1. WTO.
2. Visiting the ILs, celebrating Christmas with them while we're here. They asked last night when the next prince or princess would be coming. Had to let them know it's taking longer than we expected but that we were working on it.
3. Yes. Not sure. I did get him a photo frame for his desk at work and I'll pick a couple good pictures of DD and/or the family to put in it. I think the one he has now is from when she was about one.
Yay!! Good luck!
