Monday Check-In
Wonder if we have enough people around to do this...
1. Where and how?
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping?
This discussion has been closed.
Re: Monday Check-In
1. Where and how? Maya is 1y5m and I am 33w3d pregnant. I started frantically organizing tiny baby clothes and CDs yesterday. I know that I am nesting but I can't seem to control the crazy even when I know it is happening. I seriously married a saint because he doesn't bat an eye.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. When I was growing up, it was always my mom's coffee cake but Shawn doesn't like it so we decided to go with PWs cinnamon rolls as our traditional breakfast. They were outstanding as always.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? I went out yesterday for a few hours. Picked up a few things at Lowes, Kohls, and Joanne Fabrics but I got absolute steals at Macy's--I got over $120 worth of Maya/Lewie clothes for $16. Yeah.
1. 15w2d, feeling good, making some progress on Andrew's big boy room so we can start moving him in Jan.
2. No
3. I'm going on Wed! I was going to go today but Andrew is sick and I'm feeling a bit lazy.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. I typically make a hasbrown, egg, sausage and cheese casserole for my parent's house but mom forgot to pick up hasbrowns and sausage. SO I improvised and made a strata with smoked turkey sausage and it turned out so well that it's been requested for next year (::pats self on back::) so I suppose that's our new tradition!
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? I went to Kohl's to return a toy yesterday but Abe came along so I didn't really get to shop. I'd like to start looking for Spring pieces for G but since he has quite a few Winter outfits, Abe thinks it's silly to buy more despite the fact they're already getting a bit tight. Silly Abe. Grady received a gift card for Osh Kosh so I'll be checking their sales and hitting up the outlet mall this afternoon. I received a nice American Eagle card so I'll be going there armed with a $10 coupon, plus the gift card and they're having their jean sale so I'm thinking I'll get another pair of jeggings. Also have a couple GAP coupons so I'll be shopping the adult side, checking out, then hitting up the baby's section so I can use two BOGO free coupons
How on earth is this possible? I hope your feeling well.

1. Where and how?
19.5m pp and 19w pregnant. Feeling pretty good, despite not wanting to be at work today.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it.
Our tradition is Pillsbury cinnamon rolls (I should try out PW's sometime) and poinsettia mimosas (champagne and cranberry juice -- I had sparkling cider instead). We have a huge lunch at Ryan's grandmother's house at noon, so we do a fairly light breakfast.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping?
I just have 2 things to return, so not really any after-Christmas shopping. I looked at Gymboree.com yesterday and was not impressed.
1) 5w2d - feeling fine, no symptoms other than sore bewbies - starting to wonder if there is really something growing in there!
2) My MIL makes hashbrown casserole & cinnamon rolls. It was really good this year - normally its "eh"
3) Nope. I have to work all week, so no shopping for me!
1. Where and how? 8 1/2 weeks PP. Doing okay. My c-section incision is still sore. And I am starting to really hate pumping. Which sucks since I am not bf at all, only pumping. One day at a time.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. No, and this Christmas we didn't even have time to eat breakfast.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? I'll probably hit Target for some cheap wrapping paper for next year. I am also going to buy something for my camera from Roberts.
1. CD 17ish? Good, other than the GI bug I received Christmas night. Luckily it was only a touch and didn't last long.
2. Not really.
3. Normally I would since I've always had this week off due to company shut down, but not this year since I have to work
boo.

1) almost 9 months post partum...feeling good.
2) we had monkey bread
3) probably at some point
1. Where and how?
CD 11. Feeling great.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it.
No, usually just something quick like pancakes or french toast so we can head to church.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping?
I just ran to Walmart and Walgreens yesterday to get some gift wrap, lights and candy.
~GRACIE JEAN 7-5-08~
1. 30w1d! Feeling good. I haven't had any more contractions and fat boy has been dancing up storm
2. Not really. It depends on if my FIL has to work or not. If he works we're usually on our own for Christmas morning. We might start a tradition of cinnamon rolls while we watch/help Nugget open presents (God willing)
3. Yes and no. I needed new jeans so I bought those, but it was more because I needed them and not for after-Christmas shopping.
1. Where and how? 26w1d. Feeling good, except for when he finds my ribs.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it.
Eggs, bacon, sausage, etc.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? Well, considering I have a baby coming in just over 3 months, there's a lot of shopping to be done in my future.
1. Mady is 23 months and I'm on my 2nd week of pills. I'm feeling much better after having a pretty bad cold for the past 4 days.
2. We usually go to my MIL's for brunch before opening presents. We have egg/hashbrown casserole, fruit, ham, and biscuits and gravy...yummy!
3. We went to Target yesterday and got some Christmas tags and bows and an oraganization shelf for Mady's new playroom.
Shauna, how in the world are you 33w already?! That is unbelieveable.
1. 8m pp today. Time sure does fly! We are doing great; heading home from the ILs today. We still have presents under our tree at home to open!
2. Something sweet - coffee cake, cinnamon rolls, monkey bread, povitica, something like that, but nothing "official". And coffee. Of course, coffee.
3. Nope; we're still opening presents and later in the week we have Xmas with Dh's cousins and aunts and uncles, so no need to do any shopping for a while over here!
1. Where and how? CD 27. AF should be here by the end of the week. Feeling fine, just easily annoyed by a certain DH.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. Homemade cinnamon rolls. Last year we made a recipe by Alton Brown. This year we did PW. I am pretty sure her's are the keeper for every year.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? We went yesterday and got new lights for the house (outside) and some decent deals on other random Christmas stuff. Today I went to spend some Christmas money on new jeans and hopefully getting a haircut this week. Exciting stuff, I tell ya!
1. 1 year 3 weeks pp
2. Nope. We have so many places to go that we try to eat a light breakfast. I think this year I had 2 pieces of french toast around 10am.
3. I went to Target on Sunday to get wrapping paper, etc. Also, went to Express to buy some new clothes since I had a gift card and $40 off $120 purchase.
1. 9 weeks PP. doing OK!
2. Not really. I made the PW's baked french toast. It's very yummy and easy!
3. Did a ton yesterday with my sister and BIL. Got some good deals at the Gymbo RBS, this was my favorite!
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. I wouldn't call it traditional. We just cook a breakfast!
This year I made a quiche lorraine that was great.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? Only to use up some gift cards--got one to Motherhood Maternity and I really need some tights and support panty-things.
1. Where and how? 23w 3d, feeling really good. I'm finally sleeping and the heartburn is slowing down a bit.
2. Do you have a traditional Christmas morning breakfast? Tell us about it. No, I was home alone Christmas morning - DH at firehouse - and didn't get to my parents until around noon. We did our christmas yesterday morning, but we didn't really do a breakfast. We did have french toast around 11- after gifts.
3. Doing any after-Christmas shopping? Yep! Unfortunatly DH missed the mark on nearly all of my gifts, so there will be some returning and shopping. I'm also hoping to find some good clearance deals on Christmas stuff for next year (cards, wrapping paper, decor, etc).
1. 10dpo...just ready for AF to get here so we can start IUI cycle. I'm so ready!
2. No, but we did have the PW's cinnamon french toast. A big hit!
3. Just bought a tree skirt from PB online, $29!
TTC #2 since 9/09 --- mild PCOS; Endometriosis
IUI x4 = BFN
IVF = sometime in 2012
1. CD12- fine.
2. K's mom always makes the same egg casserole. This year Katie made it for her and it was so much better! We also substituted Monkey Bread for her weird raisin muffins. Delish!
3. Nope, just working.
1. 4 weeks 5 days pg. Feeling good as long as I stay on my Zofran except for super sore boobs... how did I forget about that part?!
2. No. Last year I made cinnamon rolls and planned on doing that yearly but this year I never got around to it so we had eggs, bacon, and hashbrowns.
3. I did some online shopping but nothing in stores.
1. About 32 weeks pregnant. Feeling fine except for this extremely persistent sinus infection.
2. At our house we have cinnamon rolls and coffee, but then we have a big brunch at my parent's house - usually includes biscuits and gravy, sausage, fried potatos, fruit, and a cheesy egg casserole.
3. Not really since this is a regular work week for me, but I did go to Target yesterday to pick up some routine stuff and also got a couple of things for Jocelyn that she didn't get for Christmas, like a snowsuit and boots. Otherwise no time or money to do any more shopping!
1. Either CD 41/10 dpo or CD2
2. Nothing fancy this year. Just lots of coffee.
3. Hoping to still get out today or at least find some good online bargains. We did a lot of shopping last week for ourselves (new furniture and decorations). The house is finally starting to look put together.
1. CD 5. Feeling nice and relaxed with not having to work this week. It's awesome.
2. Nope.
3. We did some gift card spending today, but none of it was from Christmas money. We got lots of scented candles since we were running low on those.
