1. how are you feeling?  I feel like my center has been tenderized like a steak!  But other than that and just a little fatigue, doing really good!

2. highlight/lowlight of your week?  2 highlights; DH nicknamed the baby!  Dinky, lol.  And also, my friend at dance told everyone that she was pregnant and I brought cupcakes and we had an impromt-to little party.  She was so excited and happy!

3. weekend plans?  lots, tonight we're going to the "Here Come the Mummies" concert with a group of friends dressed up like the hero's (*** and Friends) from South Park.  Tomorrow I'm doing a movie and maternity clothes shopping with my dance friend I mentioned above and Saturday night I'm doing Rocky Horror with DH.  And Sunday I'm sleeping 'cause all that's going to wear me out so badly!

4. what is your favorite season & why?  I like Spring.  Winter is my least favorite, because of the cold and the bleaching of colors from everything.  I like Spring because things start warming up, you get to put coats away and everything becomes so colorful!

 Have a great weekend everyone!

1. how are you feeling? ok I guess

2. highlight/lowlight of your week? This counts as both: I painted the nursery-to-be.  I picked a shade of blue that works for either boys or girls.  I decided it would be nice to have it done since it was the last room in our house that needed painted.  I'm a SAHW right now and dh doesn't like to paint anyway.  Hopefully, it will be a nursery someday. 

3. weekend plans? We have nothing official planned as of right now, but I'm sure we'll come up with something.

4. what is your favorite season & why?  I like summer even though I get hot easily.  It stays light the longest and there always seems to be something to do outside.

1. 3w 2d pp and feeling great.  Jack is consistently sleeping five hours+ at night and I feel like we at least have a bedtime routine now, even if the rest of the day is a free-for-all.

2. High - I ran on Wednesday evening with the dog and it felt SO GOOD!  Much better than the sloth-like jogging I attempted a week ago...running before your stitches have completely dissolved is not advised.  EEEEow!

Low - DH lost his wedding ring in the leaves just hours before our first snowstorm out here.  We searched in the pouring rain until it got dark, but never found it.  My inlaws are here right now and I watched my stupid MIL pick up my newborn without supporting his head yesterday.  Yeah, I might flip out.  Prayers that I don't, please.

3.  Surviving IL visit today/tonight, then watching football, going on walks, and doing housework the rest of the weekend.  Should be very relaxing!

4.  I love all the seasons (but tolerate winter for only a few weeks), but summer is my favorite.  I love all the outdoor plans and activities associated with summer.

1. 30 weeks pregnant with twins.  Although it hasn't been 100% easy, I am SO happy to have made it this far and hopeful that the babies will stay put for another 7-8 weeks.

2.  High: Got to see my babies this week and they are doing great.  Low: Dealing with gestational diabetes...been counting carbs and tracking my glucose and although I'm not a doctor, based on my low numbers I don't see what the problem is.

3.  Birthday dinner for my brother tonight, childbirth class tomorrow and dinner at Seasons 52.

4. I love summer.  I love the heat, pool, sun, eating outside, etc.

illinigal:

1. how are you feeling? 3 weeks 1 day pp and I am so ready for these stitches to dissolve.  I got a little down today because I tried to put on my pre-pregnancy jeans this morning and they wouldn't even go halfway up my thighs. 

2. highlight/lowlight of your week? Highlight-DD is starting to be awake more during the day, she was very sleepy because she had jaundice so anytime she is alert I get so excited because it means she is getting better.  Lowlight-DH and I got into it with the ILs because they freaked out when we told them they couldn't come and visit this weekend.  It is a long dramatic story, ugh.

3. weekend plans? We are going to try and relax by ourselves this weekend hence the reason we didn't want any visitors.  The first 2 weeks of DD's life we were in and out of hospitals and doctor's appointments with her severe jaundice so this is the first weekend we are going to get to spend at home.

4. what is your favorite season & why? Fall, I like the crispness in the air, I love wearing sweaters, boots, and scarves without having to put a huge coat on too.  Plus that is when DD was born

1. how are you feeling? Pretty good, I'm getting anxious to start trying. After so many long, anovulatory cycles I'm excited for a real try.

2. highlight/lowlight of your week? Highlight-DH & I had pizza & a movie night earlier this week and watched Bridesmaids and Bad Teacher while cuddling in his recliner. It was a perfect evening. Lowlight-my new clinical rotation site is AWFUL!!

3. weekend plans? I'm helping out at work on Sunday. Other than that we don't have anything planned.

4. what is your favorite season & why? Definitely summer. I HATE cold weather. Around this time every year I try to convince my husband to move south.

1.  I'm doing well!  A little tired, but really enjoying the stage that DD is in right now.  We're having so much fun.

2.  Highlight:  My post below    Lowlight:  Setting up a playdate for my MOPS table and having no one show

3.  My parents come in tomorrow!  We're going to the Harvest Party at our church tomorrow night and dressing DD in her chicken costume.  

4.  Winter b/c the weather is snuggly, I love fires in fireplaces and I love Christmas!  (And all the baking that goes along with Christmas...)  Also, I love that Thanksgiving and Christmas are such family-oriented holidays.

Sorry, I'm not very good about finding time to get on here on check-in days!

1. Pretty good. My milk supply took a big hit last week for some reason, so that was discouraging, but my OB called me in an Rx for Reglan and I've already noticed a difference.

2. Highlight: went with some of my Rehab patients on a community outing to the Children's Museum haunted house and they did great!

Lowlight: My husband's grandmother is pretty sick and no longer recognizes anyone. His grandfather (her husband) passed away last month so it's been rough on the family.

3. Family dinner out at Scotty's Friday night, adults-only halloween party last  night (we went as Occupy [host's name] House protesters). This morning we went to the haunted house at the Children's Museum (Jocelyn loved it). Football and apple crisp/apple cider the rest of the day. Hoping we might have a chance to go see a friend's brand new baby soon too!

4. Probably summer. I'm miserable in weather below about 72 degrees.
