Re: Tuesday check-in
1. I'm tired after the long weekend, but feeling good. No complaints!
2. Highlight - spending lots of time with DH and doing some touristy things in Colorado Springs. Lowlight - nothing really. It was a great weekend!
3. My 28 week appointment this afternoon and meeting some new ladies at a book club meeting tonight. Other than that, just having a short week.
4. Give a quarter to my favorite charity and invest the rest.
1. 13w4d pregnant with twins - tired from a weekend away
2. highlight: spending 4 days in Texas with my family and enjoying some good boating time. lowlight: feeling boring and un-fun because I couldn't drink this weekend, and my family loves to drink.
3. the weekend, although the weekend will involve a lot of packing!
4. invest, donate, vacation, and probably put the rest to house related upgrades/costs
1. Feeling good at 12w1d pregnant with twins.
2. Highlight- yummy dinner at DH's family reunion on Sunday night= Steak, garlic mashed potatoes, mint chocolate cheesecake! Lowlight- being stuffed and uncomfortable after dinner.
3. I'm looking forward to my NT scan this afternoon. I want to see my babies and I'm hopeful everthing will look good. Also, I'm going to go shopping this afternoon before or after my apt and look at baby stuff.
4. Dh needs a new car so I would buy him one. The rest would go into savings/investments since Dh is already freaking out about how much money we'll need to send the twins to college.

1. Pretty good at 24 weeks 2 days, although my ribs were very sore on Sunday.
2. Highlight-DH and I went to Carmelfest yesterday and watched a cute dog show, lowlight-dinner at St. Elmos-we were charged for something we didn't order and they were out of the side I ordered so the waiter took it upon himself to bring me green beans instead (I hate green beans) and when I asked for mashed potatoes instead he huffed and puffed and they didn't come until I was done with my meal. Definitely not worth the money!
3. I am looking forward to my 24 week appointment with my new doctor since moving to the area tomorrow.
4. I would pay off our student loans, ugh.
1. how are you feeling? Good. About to do some exercising.
2. weekend highlight? lowlight? Highlight, Had a photoshoot in the wedding dress. Was superfun. Lowlight, My fat pants are starting to get tight! 0_0
3. what are you looking forward to this week? Starting to exercise again.
4. If you won $100,000 (after taxes) what would you do with it? Move to Florida, lol. It is in our 5 year plan and I cannot wait.

Ask me stuff.
1. I'm a broken record: I'm TIRED. Connor is majorly failing in the sleep category lately. I'm getting desperate.
2. Highlight: Had a great weekend. Jocelyn was in a neighborhood parade around the lake my parents live on and we spent the evening down there on Sunday. We watched fireworks from the boat and just hung out. Monday morning we stopped by the Benjamin Harrison home where they were having a "traditional" 4th of July and Jocelyn got her face painted, played some games, and ate ice cream. It was cute.
Lowlight: After our fun morning yesterday, I got totally taken out by some sort of terrible intestinal disaster yesterday afternoon/evening. It was bad. We had company over to cook-out and watch the downtown Indy fireworks, but I was so freakin' miserable.
3. Jocelyn's first field trip! Her class is going to the Children's Museum and I'll be post-call so I am going with them.
4. I'd use $90,000 to make a dent in our student loans and add to the kids' college funds. I'd use the other $10,000 to a water softener, a hot tub, and a vacation
1. how are you feeling? very emotional, I must be PMSing
2. weekend highlight? lowlight? I had a great weekend with a birthday party Friday night, a coookout/pool party Sunday night, and another cookout with fireworks Monday. My lowlight was the end of the weekend and return of the work week.
3. what are you looking forward to this week? Only working 4 days and having next weekend off to look forward to!
4. If you won $100,000 (after taxes) what would you do with it? Save it. We want to build a new house on family land in the next few years.
1. I am tired! Why do I never seem to learn that staying up late during Holiday weekends does not make for a good week after?
2. Highlight: Taking V swimming for the first time. She loooooved the pool. Lowlight: Going to CarmelFest. It was WAY too hot and not what we thought it would be.
3. I'm going to try my hand at a new recipe tonight: Shrimp Court-bouillon. I hope it turns out well!
4. Probably pay off some of our mortgage (boring), buy a new car (boring) and go on a beach vacation somewhere (fun!).
