:: Chicago Weekly Check In ::

TMDMJAOCT07 · May 2011

Welcome to this week's Chicago Bump Check-in!

If you want to be added to the check-in, please respond to this post and let me know what brings you to the bump (Do you have a DC? DD or DS? Date of DC's birthday? Are you pregnant (how far along) or TTC?), whether you live in the city or burbs (give me a direction: N, NW, W, SW, S).

Also, pregnant ladies: keep me updated if you move from team green to pink or blue! And let us know when your LOs arrive! We have a due date that passed and some coming up soon!

And finally, some shout outs, hugs, etc.:

Also, it looks like a lot of you will be finding out which team you'll be joining soon, should you choose to not be Team Green!

Looks like we have a quite few due dates coming up really soon!! Any signs of labor starting, ladies?

QOTW :

Lets just do a regular check in this week. How is everybody doing? Pregnacy? Baby? Toddler?

Hi! I'm Melissa. Due 9/2/11 in the NW suburbs.

jesusita2002 · May 2011

Absolutely loving this warm weather! Belly is getting bigger and baby is getting stronger which is fun. I also think I experienced my first set of hiccups last night with the little one.

disneyfan0511 · May 2011

Today is my due date and I'm still pregnant. On the plus side the weather is perfect for long walks by the lake, which is where I'm about to go!

Themetastic · May 2011

My nesting is pretty intense. I've reorganized and cleaned almost the entire house! Still working on emptying out the soon-to-be nursery.

Finally feeling pretty good, just dealing with lots of back pain. I can see the third tri on the horizon!

mrs.lizzieb · May 2011

Doing well here. Just chugging along in the pregnancy and running around trying to keep up with DS. Being pregnant with a toddler is definitely different than it was the first time around. I'm kept so busy that some days I forget that I'm pregnant, but I'm sure that will change as I get further along. Hope everyone is well!

crystal959 · May 2011

I'm new to this board. I'm a former Chicago Mommy who moved and is returning! My "move" was more like an 8 month vacation.

I have one DD 9/7/07 and I'm due with a second DD 7/31/11 I'm in Crystal Lake.

DTNZ4Ever · May 2011

DS has become very naughty over the last week or so. He is test limits everywhere. Then he thinks it is funny when you are trying to stern with him. It is funny sometimes but frustrating. Gotta love the terrible 2s.

CTJourney · May 2011

Can you add me to the pregnant list? DS is going to be a big brother later this year! I'm due December 3rd.

QOTW:
My 18 month old DS is loving the warmer weather and throws some pretty impressive tantrums when it's time to go back inside. He has about 15 words now, and he recently started calling me "mama" which is the best feeling ever. But even better than that, last night he said "love you" to me at bedtime, which completely melted my heart.

Pregnancy is going well. I'm almost 11 weeks, and I'm super tired still, hoping that passes soon so I can regain some energy to keep up with my toddler!
