This discussion has been closed.
Re: "Friday" check-in
1. where and how?
4m3w6d pp. I feel like AF is coming. 'Nuff said.
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight - I got to stay in bed an extra 45 minutes yesterday due to a wonky work schedule
Lowlight - co-worker's funeral is today
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?
Black/gray tweed pants and a purple sweater from j.crew. nothing fancy.
1. almost 8 months pp. Wow! Have been sick for almost a week but stopped puking yesterday (I hope) - so I think I'm doing better.
2. Highlight: started Christmas shopping!
Lowlight: Being sick. Being a mom and being sick at the same time is no fun.
3. man, i have no idea. i've thought long and hard about what Josie will wear, but haven't given a thought to myself. is that sad? probably a sweater and jeans. our big family thanksgiving has become less formal for the adults, thankfully, but the kids still tend to get dressed up in special clothes.
1. where and how? 2nd wk of pills, no complaints.
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
highlight: having a college friend & her husband stay over on Monday night ... I hadn't seen her in forever!
lowlight: a coworker telling me that he deleted my email because (1) I used the phrase "we met" in reference to a telecon we had and (2) because I used a hyphen in "7223-7224" (I was listing two things) and I should have used a comma.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?
No idea. It's just our family of 6 (my immediate family & Michael) so I will probably wear a nice sweater & jeans. or maybe even my comfy underarmor black pants, haha
Ummmm...wtf?
1) Where/How: 7m1w+ PP. Getting over being sick. Still not feeling great, but not feeling too bad.
2) Highlight: Paige is getting really good at saying "mom" and I think she's starting to get that I = mom. She looked right at me this morning and said it. I mean, I'm sure it's still babble at this point, but the fact that I can see her wheels turning and it seems like she's making an effort to say it makes my heart melt. Lowlight: Both of us being sick all weekend and on Monday. I'm just glad that we both seem to be better in time for the holiday!
3) Thanksgiving: I think a purple sweater and my new Gap jeans. Paige is wearing her turkey-dress - I can't wait!! :-)
1. 27w2d - feeling good! The weight seems to be coming on fast though, and I feel like I need to do something about it.
2. Highlight - had dinner with an old friend who is in from out of town last night. Lowlight - this was actually over the weekend - an old highschool friend's husband passed away. He came down with H1N1 about a month ago, ended up in the ICU 5 days later and passed away this weekend. They have 2 kids (I think about 5 and 2?) and she's pregnant with their 3rd. It's just so awful.
3. Not a clue! I'll probably try on 10 different things tomorrow morning before I make up my mind.
uhh yeah. He's an OCD engineer with absolutely no professional skills. At the end of the meeting, I asked him his opinion on something I had sent him and he told me this. I was sitting at the conference room table, mouth wide open, staring at this guy, like... are you for real??
I think I work well with difficult people but this guy? I can't handle it. He's actually caused people to develop ulcers.
oh my goodness, how sad.
1. Week 3 of BCP, feeling pretty good.
2. Nothing really stands out in to be high or low. We did have a gift card for BJ's we used last night we only had to cover the tip. A nice dinner out for 3 less than $10, is pretty awesome. We usually spend more at Taco Bell or Mc Donalds's.
3. TBD, I'm going to pack during Lil's nap. Probably a sweater or long sleeved shirt and jeans.
1. where and how?
No idea... 8.5mo. Feeling good
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight: taking Joseph grocery shopping. Sometimes he sits in the cart now, and he LOVES it. He grins for every lady that walks by. It cracks me up.
Lowlight: Shelly's funeral on Sunday. It was very very sad, especially to see her baby Ella.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?
Oh goodness... I hope I remember to shower early since I'm cooking. I always run out of time for myself! This year I plan to shower and get ready when I wake up, and just touch up the makeup. I'll probably wear jeans and a sweater. And an apron!
Joseph Henry was born at home on March 9, 2009

1. where and how? AF is due any day now. Still acclimating to being off BC. so my cycle's been wonky.
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight: Having the evening alone with DH last night. We had a wonderful time. We made appetizers for dinner, watched TV, had a little lovin', and just enjoyed being with each other. I love him so much and feel like we did some reconnecting last night.
Lowlight: Work has been weird. There's changes coming down the pike and I'm not sure if they're going to be all good. (my job's not in jeopardy or anything, so that's good.) We'll see how it all shakes down. I hate uncertainty.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?1. 6m2w pp, feeling pretty good.
2. Highlight- Getting my sleep.
Lowlight- Exhausted from yesterday. My mom and I started preparing for our Thanksgiving dinner. We are cooking for 18 people. Today we are doing some more cooking. I do love cooking and spending time with my mom, it's just exhausting being in the kitchen all day.
3. I have no idea. I think jeans and a cute sweater.
1. 39w2d. I'm officially done being pg and ready for this little girl to be here. I told DH last night that I really hope today is my last day in the office and I don' t have to come back next week, that would be such a nice thing for my DD to do for her Mommy!!!
2. Highlight - DH has been great this week with taking care of everything. Its pretty cute, we are having people over since we don't want to go anywhere farther away for T-giving and he is making the turkey, which he did internet research on to figure out the best way to prepare and making an apple pie from scratch. He has also made dinner viritually everynight for the last week that we've eaten at home.
Lowlight: People at work are really starting to annoy me, I don't know if I have a short fuse right now or what. Some just keep acting like I'm going to be here indefinetly and keep giving me stuff to do and I want to scream at them that I could be gone at anytime so do it yourself, probably good that I haven't done that yet!
3. Whatever fits and is somewhat comfortable, that is becoming a very limited selection these days
1. 18w6d pg. Feeling good. Back is aching a little bit though
2. I haven't really had any highs or lows so far. It's been a pretty standard week for me.
3. Jeans and a nice shirt and bringing pj pants to change into once we've made our entrance. lol
1. where and how? almost 4 months pp. She only got up twice last night and I am considering that a huge success.
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
highlight: it's been slow at work and I've gotten enough done that I am only working a half day today.
lowlight: the freaking lack of sleeping. I'll be happy when my mom (the earlybird) wants to hold Maya all weekend so I can get a little more sleep.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?
I also spent way more time worrying about Maya's clothing...I think I'll just be in jeans and a sweater. Depends if we choose that day to try to take our family picture.
1. CD1! :-)
2. Highlight - getting lots of sleep. Lowlight - Feeling stuck at home.
3. I have NO clue. This isn't something that I think about in advance.
1. where and how?
14w pp - feeling good
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight - I finally feel like I'm getting caught up with all the random things I need to do
Lowlight - checking out my credit card statement last night....I've done a little too much shopping recently
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?
For Thursday's Tday - jeans and a slouchy, bateau neck oatmeal sweater with brown round toe pumps
For Saturday's Tday - jeans, ballet flats, a cream tee and a super soft gray sweater like this...
1. 6.5m+pp and feeling okay
2. I haven't really had any highlights, but no super lows either. It's been a bit of a crappy week.
3. Jeans and a sweater. Our families don't dress up at all.
I just read the responses and apparently I was quite specific with details of my outfit....I had to pack yesterday, so I know exactly what I'm wearing each day while we're home.
I change my answer to jeans and a sweater
1. where and how? 4 months 4days pp. Feeling really tired and just off.
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight: E's 4 month appointment She's 15lbs 3oz!!! It always makes me feel better to know she's growing.
Lowlight: my doctor called and my thyroid is majorly out of wack again. I was able to go off my meds when pg and even at 12 wks pp I was still in the normal range. I got a blood draw last week and my levels are in the dangerous level so I have to go pick up a heart monitor today to wear all weekend until the medicine can kick in
but at least now I know why I've been feeling so run down.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner?Oh man. I'm sorry. I'm sure that's the last thing you need right now with a baby and what your sister's going through. Hopefully the meds will kick and you'll feel much better soon. ::hugs:: and many t&p's.
I'm glad you provided details, that is a cute outfit! I love the sweater, where is it from? I have a similar almost-knee-length grey open front shawl sweater that I wear all the time on the weekends.
1. 12w6d pg. Feel like crap today. I'm all crampy and my back and neck hurt. Maybe I just slept wrong last night. Either way, it's not making work fun at all.
2. Highlight - Today's my last day of work for the week! So glad to have a 4-day weekend! Lowlight - Monday was not a good day. Haley woke up with a 102 fever and a rash covering her entire body. Took her to the pedi and she has strep. She's had 2 full days of abx and she's feeling much better today and the rash looks better too. The rash on her face was terrible, but today she woke up and it's so much better than yesterday. Thank goodness!
3. I'm breaking out the maternity jeans tonight. I'll probably just wear a long sleeve shirt (not really sure yet). It has to be long enough to cover the baby belly that I've sprouted in the past week or so.
Most of the stuff in my closet is already too small or has started to lift up over my belly, so I'm gonna dig out the maternity stuff tonight and see what looks ok to wear. 
Thanks! As much as it sucks it does give me a little relief to know why I have been falling asleep at stoplights and can't make it past 9pm at night. I can't tell you how many times I have fallen asleep while nursing at night and Scott has to come in and take E out of my arms and put her to bed and wake me up. Here's to feeling better soon!
1. where and how? 7w2d
Feeling so-so, doing great!
2. highlight and lowlight of the first half of this week?
Highlight of the week thus far: The last coat of polyeurethane went on the floor yesterday. Aw yeah. The garage is getting some work today so we'll be able to paint in there (by we, I mean Abe) and possibly move our washer/dryer in this weekend.
Low of the week thus far: All day/intense evening sickness. I've been pretty miserable this week. I just wonder if it's going to become more intense before it plateaus. I'm seriously contemplating asking my doc for something to tone down the nausea. I haven't been vomiting but my heiney is hurting (TMI, sorry) and I just want to be able to function.
3. what are you wearing to thanksgiving dinner? Jeans, sweater and cute socks that coordinate with the sweater. I always feel awkward if they don't coordinate.
1. CD18...waiting to O...should be any day now.
2. Highlight: finishing up clinicals and pest control coming over to take care of our Mickey and Minnie issues; lowlight: arghhh...spilling half of the turkey brining stuff out of the bag (what a mess I made!)...luckily the turkey stayed in the bag!
3. We're celebrating today since DH and I work tomorrow...l/s tee with empire button-top sweater vest (don't know if that makes sense) and jeans.

2. Highlight, bringing my baby home from the hospital!! Lowlight-we're not having "thanksgiving" with anyone this holiday.
