    1) Just had LO #2, DD  :)  DS is almost two.  He is certainly a handful and somewhat frustrating these days what with the terrible twos and adjusting to the new baby, but he is wonderful and awesome at the same time.  We still have one more frostie at the RE, which I'm pretty sure we will go back for at some point.

    2) I went out for a fancy dinner with my girlfriends about three weeks ago.  

    3) I'm a really good friend, always there to listen and support.  It means a lot when I get it from other people, so I always like to give that back.  I rarely give up on people, even if they aren't so great about being there for me.

    4) First boyfriend that ever really meant anything was when I was 17.  We dated for a few months, broke up cause we had just drifted apart.

    5) I come from a really big family--thirty first cousins alone!

    6) We have a bunch of family coming to visit this weekend.  Two of my siblings and mom today, and DH's family tomorrow.

    .... thought I'd do a Check-in of sorts?

    1) Where are you at with the baby making, baby baking, baby raising...?

          DD is almost 2 1/2.  She is so much fun!  I seriously cannot get enough of her.  I hate going to work and being away from her.  I still really want to try for #2 again.  However, after the way IVF #2.5 ended with the massive abdominal bleed, no transfer, and huge hospital bills, I am having an almost impossible time trying to talk DH into trying again. 

    2) Name something fun you've done lately?

         I just got done taking cooking classes with DD.  We had a blast. We are starting a tumbling class where I get to participate with her on Tuesday.  That should be interesting too.

    3) Something you like/are proud of about yourself?

    I am excited about becoming a better cook lately.  I have tried so many new recipes (thank you pinterest!), and I am having a lot of fun experimenting with new foods.    

    4) Tell us all about your first boyfriend - how old, how long did you date, why'd you break up?

        My first real boyfriend was in 11th  grade.  We went out about 6 months.  We broke up mainly because I worked all weekend at my job at Six Flags and he wanted to go out on the weekends and have fun, but I couldn't do much.

    5) Tell us something we don't know about you (bonus points for fun/surprising)?

         My family has a circus background.  My grandpa was in the circus for many years and did sword swallowing and fire eating.  His first wife (not my grandma) was in the circus too and died in a trapeze accident.   As a kid I wanted to be in the circus, and I would spend hours practicing my acts.  LOL  

    6) What are you/did you do this weekend?

         We visited the ILs on Saturday, and on Sunday, we took DD to an Animal Family Fun class at the Zoo.  She got to meet all sorts of animals and do crafts.  It was a lot of fun!

    1) Where are you at with the baby making, baby baking, baby raising...?

       Just about 14.5 weeks.

    2) Name something fun you've done lately?  Had a girls night for the Oscars.

    3) Something you like/are proud of about yourself?  I like to think that some of my sensitiveness/over thinking of things makes me a good listener/friend.

    4) Tell us all about your first boyfriend - how old, how long did you date, why'd you break up? First guy I really dated officially, I was 18 or 19.  We met over the summer through a friend but he was in grad school and went back to school out of state - I think that's mostly why we stopped dating but I was in LOVE ;)

    DH was my first official "boyfriend".  I was 20 he was 21 - coming up on 11 years.

    5) Tell us something we don't know about you (bonus points for fun/surprising)? 

      I was reallysuper shy when I was younger. My parents opened a restaurant when I was about 14 and I would cry if they made me go out to the dining room and talk to people.  I'm not that crazy anymore but I still suck at chitchat and am pretty quiet until I get to know people better.

    6) What are you/did you do this weekend?

     Sat I got my hair cut  (about 6 inches or maybe a bit more) and colored - YAY!  Then DH and I went to Chick-Fil-A and came home and watched In Time.  Sunday was groceries and vacuuming.  I also went to the mall for a bit.  Then came home and did nothing :)

    It is a party where everyone brings a dish that has potato in it.
