Re: Friday check-in!
1. 16 days PP and feeling pretty good physically, if I had more time I'd love to go for a run/walk or do some yoga.
2. high: Owen's brain bleed improved a bit, and we are hopeful that it will continue to heal. Olivia had a good week. low: Owen decided to brady in the 40's yesterday about 4 times. This is significantly lower than he ever goes.
3. Family time at the hospital with many visitors, and hopefully seeing SweetTea and meeting baby Jack!!
4. No shopping at all yet. I have been looking online to get ideas. I think most of my purchases will be online this year.
Raches- continued T&P heading your way.
1. Hanging in there and still wishing I was pregnant.
2. Highlights- Monday's apt at the RE was good because my uterus is clear with no scarring from the D&C and no fibroids, which means we can move forward with IVF #4. Also, I had lunch with a friend (sweetdahlia) from the bump yesterday at Noodles & Co. Lowlight- Can't believe my babies have been gone 3 months.
3. No specific plans. If the weather is nice, we'll put up our outdoor Christmas lights, but not turn them on until after Thanksgiving.
4. Yes, but I think I may have to return something I already bought, so barely started.

1 - Today is my first doctors appointment!! I'm very excited. We're leaving in about half an hour! I am guessing no ultrasound and I'm guessing we may not get to hear the baby's heartbeat, but who knows. Just an "everything is good" at this point would be music to my ears!
2 - Highlight - going out with friends last night after dance to see Twilight! Not a fantastic movie, imho, but had a blast with friends. Lowlight - preg symptoms have really gone into full swing in the past week/week and a half.
3 - ROLLER DERBY!! So excited to see the Naptown Roller girls this weekend! Also, getting ready to tell parents and family next week!
4 - I kind of cheated, when DH and I were in France, we bought my mom a scarf and we're giving it to Christmas. So technically, we started shopping in July But past that, no. My family is terrible about not having wish lists put together until last minute! But I'm hoping to make a dent during Black Friday.
1. how are you feeling? feeling good. we booked lucys c-section for 12/15...right around the corner!
2. highlight/lowlight of your week? highlight- had a great meeting with lucy's heart doctor at Riley. I feel so much better about her situation. Lowlight- DH had to go out of town yesterday and will be back today. I dont like him being gone, even if its for one day!
3. weekend plans? tonight we have an engagment party downtown, tomorrow we are going to a craft show at Westfield high school, and tomorrow night I have my monthly BUNCO girls night that I love!
4. have you started shopping for Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate yet? when will/did you start? Christmas, and I have started nothing. I usually do photo gifts so I want to wait until baby is here.
*Keeping Owen and Olivia in my prayers!
1. Tired and a little nauseous. This will probably be my standard update for the next 5 weeks.
2. Highlight: Raising enough money at my MOPS table to buy a goat, mosquito net and blanket for someone in need in a 3rd world country. Lowlight: Stupid fight with DH last night.
3. Farmer's Market, church, I can't think of anything else.
4. Yes. Since DH's family is out of the country, we have to buy their gifts early and ship them. I have my mom and dad's presents, too, but still need to get something for my sister. I think we started buying at the beginning of this month.
ETA: Oh, but I have NOTHING for DD yet! Anyone have any toy recs for a 1-year-old?
2. Highlight/Lowlight of your week? - My job is seasonal and tonight is my last night of work for a while. I have mixed feelings about it...
3. Weekend plans? - Grocery shopping for Thanksgiving goodies, stocking up on cloth diapers, and throwing a little party on Sunday!4. Have you started shopping for Christmas, Hanukkah, or whatever you celebrate yet? When will/did you start? - My husband and I went to Italy in May and did a lot of our Christmas shopping there. I just finished up the very last of it earlier this week! Thanksgiving was my deadline since that is when I will be full term, and I wanted to have it all out of the way by then.
1. how are you feeling? Great! I am done with my rotations for 6 whole weeks!! (of course I still have to work)
2. highlight/lowlight of your week? High-ladies night Wednesday Low-nothing I can think of
3. weekend plans? Wedding tonight, dinner with some other couples tomorrow, relaxing Sunday?
