Re: Monday check in, 2011 edition!
CD16. Feel great!
Holiday highlight - seeing Ella open presents and spending time together as a family.
This week - we're getting a new mattress! After talking about it and saving for 6+ months, it's coming on Saturday and I can't. freaking. wait.
1. 10 weeks post partum. Going to the ford dealership right now because the glass of my back hatch randomly shattered last night in the garage. There is glass dust all over my strollers :-( Nevermind I have to drive my baby in a car with no hatch.
2. My family being here! Jake's language has grown so much in the last weeks too. It's been great!
3. Working on Lauren's winter wardrobe, lol!!
almost 15 months PP
Spending time with my family and seeing Rowan be so excited about his gifts.
I got rid of all the Christmas stuff already and have been deep cleaning our house. It feels so nice to start the new year with a clean reorganized house.
1. Where and how?
Hellz if I know. Exhausted. For the past week or so, Olivia has decided to get up somewhere between 3-4am, ready to go! Coupled with the fact that she won't go to sleep on her own, we're all exhausted.
2. Highlight of the holidays?
Definitely watching Olivia get into gifts this year. She loved unwrapping presents. It was really sweet.
3. What are you excited about this week?
I have the opportunity to create my own promotion (and negotiate for a considerable raise)...!!! My supervisor approached me about it right before the break and with a lot of consideration and discussion with Jake, I'm going to do it. I have to put together my job description, then work on getting the title change and pay increase with the university.
Kelley! That is awesome! I hope you're able to get a significant raise to boot!
1. I am on 3rd week of BCP. Feeling pretty good. Do not want to go back to work today.
2. Watching Jalen and Landon get into their gifts. They loved opening them all up and just watching their faces with excitement!
3. Egh,nothing that I can think of.
1. Where and how?
Day 24 of bcp and it would make me very happy if AF would show up.
2. Highlight of the holidays?
Just getting to be home, and my solo trip to DC was awesome!
3. What are you excited about this week?
Getting back on schedule!
Thanks! I'm pretty excited because it should give me even more flexibility and less 1-2 day travel. And now I'm done being an AW. At least for a little bit.
Where and How - 34w3d. I[m feeling grumpy about having to come back to work after 2 weeks off but physically, I feel great.
Holiday highlight - Like others said, it was just so fun this year to watch Maya get excited. I know that she still had very little idea what was actually going on but she loved unwrapping presents.
This week - Hopefully wrapping up nursery decorating and settling in for the wait for Lewie with no more major to-do's on my list. We are also getting pics taken with Jac on Saturday
1. I think around midcycle or a bit later, maybe cd 20ish.
Ok, I have had stomach issues since last Wednesday, I'm nearly certian I'm not pg, might just be the stress of Dec catching up with me.
2. Bittersweet holiday - Getting to see Leah really be a part of her first Christmas but missing my Dad and just trying to get through all the festivities.
3. Maybe trying to get my haircut for the first time since like August. I used to get it cut every 8 weeks and since I've had Leah I may have gotten it cut 3 or 4 times!
1. Getting the mirena tomorrow......today was Nora's first day at day care so I am a hot blubbering mess. Sadly it is not easier the second time. Luckily I get to see her in an hour or so to nurse her.
2. Seeing how excited Evie got about all of it. We took her to the american girl store on new years day in chicago and she literally flipped out with excitement. We got her a bitty baby doll that she throws a tantrum every time we make her put it down. So cute. She walks around burping it and tries to swaddle it. I'm waiting for her to lift up her shirt to "feed" it.
3. For it to be over and to be home all weekend with my girls! OH and to get my mirena so I can woo woo with my husband again!
1. Where and how? 18months plus PP...doing okay. I'm more than ready for #2, but we just have a lot of uncertainties ahead of us and it's just not smart right now...
2. Highlight of the holidays? The train ride to Michigan, seeing Ryan ride a horse for the first time and/or spending NYE with some great friends
3. What are you excited about this week? Starting my new life. I hated myself toward the end of the year and am determined to no longer let life pass me by...it's never going to get better if I don't fix it!1. CD1, boo
. Also it was Kamille's first day of daycare and she cried terribly when I left her. I did call and she is ok now, thank God. I'm still trying to adjust though.
2. See Kamille get so excited and to be able spend time playing with her cousins.
3. The weekend to get here. I hope this week goes fast.

2. How much E enjoyed all of it...the movies, the get togethers, the books, the presents, Santa. She made the holidays even more special than they already are.
3. Not much of anything really...I guess if anything I'm excited about the Colts playoff game this weekend.
1. 8 weeks PP and feeling good. Sam's finally sleeping for longer than 2 hours at a time.
2. All the family visits.
3. Nothing really...trying to get Sam to nap in his crib so that I can use the crib for more than just storage.
1. CD 8. Feel pretty good, just can't believe how fast last week went and that I'm already back at work.
2. Christmas morning was a ton of fun. And DH and I went to Vegas between Christmas and New Years for our first vacation with out Nick. it was so nice to be with DH and just relax for a few days!
3. Nothing big going on this week...but even though being back at work isn't the best, I'm happy to get back into our routine.
CD - ? (Mirena); Haley - almost 3 y.o. and Ashlyn - 7 mo
Holiday Highlight - Watching Haley open her gifts and really get into the Santa thing. It was adorable. Plus - just spending time as a family unit was much needed!
This week - Not really excited about anything this week. I've got a busy week at work and am really looking forward to the weekend.
Where/How
27w3d pregnant, and 20.5 months post-pregnant. Exhausted. Is it wrong that I looked forward to coming back to work for a break?
Holiday Highlights
Like everyone else, watching Paige open presents. She was so excited and her eyes would just light up when she discovered what each one was. Redoing her bedroom was also a huge highlight.
This Week
Counting another week off until we meet LO. And I think DH is going to try to get started on the nursery. Poor guy - he needs a break. :-) Definitely not looking forward to getting my Rhogam shot this week. Boo.
1. Where and how? 27w1d...3rd tri. What the what?! Where is the time going? Mister-mister has gotten super active in last week or so. It's been so much fun to feel him moving around and DH can feel him too, which he thinks is cool.
2. Highlight of the holidays? Getting lots of time off to be with family.
3. What are you excited about this week? It's a short one for me as I'm off today due to SS not going back to school until tomorrow.What time of day did you test when you got the dark line? If it was the morning, you might have gotten an even darker one later in the day. I'm guessing you probably Od that day or the day before, just in between OPKs.
1. 6w2d, m/s has officially set in - boo! I think after three days, I've finally figured out that I need to eat all day long to keep myself feeling good.
2. We had a big open house on New Year's Eve - it went really well, all of DH's work friends came and we all had a really good time.
3. I'm going to pick up my new car (GMC Terrain) today!!
I tested 2x day...morning and evening...The day it was darkest (but still not darker than the test line) was in the AM. So I had gotten a faint line the night before, then a darker line that AM, then a faint line that evening, then no line the next AM.
1. CD6...great! Start injectables today or tomorrow
Ultrasound and labs this Friday.
2. Evan opening up gifts, spending time with family.
3. Getting closer to IUI
and...starting day shift!
TTC #2 since 9/09 --- mild PCOS; Endometriosis
IUI x4 = BFN
IVF = sometime in 2012
2. Highlight of the holidays? Just spending time with family and as our little family of three - it's incredible how differently I imagine Mary and Joseph's feelings about the birth of Jesus and how the night of his birth seems somehow more real to me now. I don't know how to explain it but everything about Christmas seems to hold more meaning now.
3. What are you excited about this week? Getting my hair trimmed and roots touched-up on Thursday. I have some greys that need to be gone
1. Where and how?
CD 20. Feeling good, a bit tired from a busy weekend.

Plus, DH giving the go ahead for us to TTC. Let's just say I am excited!!!!!!!! I think 2011 is going to be a great year for us!!

1. Where and how?
Almost 20m pp and 20w pg. How the hell am I halfway to meeting my second child?
2. Highlight of the holidays?
Watching Tyson get so excited to open his presents. When he opened his first train set on Christmas Eve, he was shaking from excitement. It was too cute and the fact that it's only going to get better from here really makes me happy.
3. What are you excited about this week?
My Monday morning hearing is over! It should be against the law (har, har) to schedule first thing Monday hearings, especially coming off of a holiday weekend. Tyson has his 20m well baby visit tomorrow, so I'm anxious to see how much he's grown. I think he's definitely sprouted another few inches and gained at least a few pounds.
23w6d - feeling pretty decent. Sleeping a ton again lately - not sure why, maybe he's going through a growth spurt.
Not getting snowed in back home and just lots of family time. I love the traditions and most everything about the holidays.
Doctors appointment Wednesday and I'm also saying that my BFF will go into labor this week (just had her cerclage removed today). The doctor doesn't think so but I'm sticking to it
1. CD 12 or so. I'd have to go look. Back at work and not super happy about that, but it's okay.
2. Gosh....so many: Hiking in St. John, petting a shark on St. Thomas, Christmas Day with DH's gma, playing loads of games with our friends and neighbors, sleeping in and resting with DH.
3. One of my good friends from Louisville is hopefully coming down for the weekend. DH is going camping and she'll be here which will be awesome.
1. Where and how? 5w1d
A little tired, but feeling great overall.
2. Highlight of the holidays? Not traveling! We did all our out of town stuff in November and early December, so by Christmas we got to just enjoy being at home together, and driving a whole 10 minutes to get to my parents' house. Also, the BFP wasn't till after Christmas, but it sure made the highlight reel for the week!
3. What are you excited about this week? I got my numbers back from last week, and they look good. I had a redraw today and am excited to find out where they are now. Once I get those back, I plan to tell my parents, and I can't wait to see their reaction!
Shh! Nothing on FB please!
1. !st week of BCP,I'm feeling a little blah.
2. L's face opening up her Woody doll.
3. Payday?
1. About 33 weeks pregnant. Doing well.
2. Having a full weekend off for Christmas to spend with the family. It was so much fun to watch Jocelyn play with all of her cousins.
3. Jocelyn unexpectedly slept in her big girl bed all night last night. We weren't going to try that until this weekend at the earliest, so we were shocked. She has taken a handful of naps in the bed over the past few weeks, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she is ready to make a full transition!
