Re: Fri check-in
1. 16w4d - I feel great, aside from my sinuses are swelling and it's difficult to sleep!
2. My cousin's wedding, starting the nursery paintings on Saturday, football
3. Growing up it was always Reese Peanut Butter Cups. Now I love twix more.
4. No - On Halloween weekend Dh is out of town, I'm having a "girls weekend" with my MIL and DH's aunt! They are coming to stay with me and we're going shopping, doing baby stuff, eating out, watching movies, etc.!
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
3rd wk of pills, feeling great. Mostly because I found out yesterday that my melanoma is "in situ" which means that it hasn't spread below the surface of the skin. I have outpatient surgery to remove a 0.50 cm margin around the removed mole in two weeks. I'm also feeling great because I'll be getting Lasik surgery in 3 weeks ... and Michael's coming home for one night tonight!
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Seeing Michael tonight & getting stuff done this weekend (some wedding returns, shopping, planting blubs)
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
Three Musketeers!
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
Maybe Saturday night but I don't know what I'll be. I could pull off a great Sarah Palin, with my northern accent & dark features, but I'm afraid everyone will be dressed up as her! Michael will be OOT on business for the next two weeks, so no couple costumes
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
CD18. I think I o'd 3 days ago.
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
I am volunteering at one of the Obama sites tomorrow.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
Candy corn!
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
Nope, not this year
1. 4wk3d, feeling good
2. I actually have no plans and it feels wonderful!
3. Reese Cups and twix!
4. We may go to a few. SS is going to be a gatekeeper. DH and I have no clue what to be.
1. CD 4 or 5 I think. Feeling ok. Ellie is good. She has a cough right now, but she doesn't seem bothered by it, so that is good!
2. Spending time with DH and Ellie tomorrow. Sunday I'm painting my sister's kitchen. Not looking forward to the painting part, but it will be fun to spend some time with her and her FI at their new house.
3. Reese cups. Unfortunately, we've already eaten the bags of candy I bought to pass out. lol
4. We are supposed to be going to a party tomorrow night, but we may not have a sitter. My mom has pneumonia, so she can't watch Ellie now. DH keeps forgetting to call his parents and ask them if they will watch her. Hopefully they will! If we do go, I guess I'll be a pumpkin, again. I haven't had time to go buy a new costume. My pumpkin outfit is cute though. It inflates. lol Ellie is also going to be a pumpkin (not at the same time as me, of course). I'm so excited for her to wear her costume!!
1) 14w4d. Feeling good - my arm still hurts from getting a flu shot earlier this week, but otherwise, ok. I'm impatiently waiting to feel flutters!!
2) I'm excited about meeting with a home-daycare tonight!! And I'm really excited about going to see a play-version of Dracula tomorrow!!
3) Butterfinger :::sigh:::. I'll have to make sure that the bags of candy we buy don't have Butterfinger in them, or I'd end up sneaking one, and they're too high in carbs!! Thankfully, I'll have my Almond Joy as back-up!
4) Nope, nothing.
Brenda
1. Somewhere towards the end of my cycle. Feeling refreshed today after getting more sleep last night.
2. I'm excited about going to Indy this weekend to see DH's family. Should be lots of fun!
3. Reese's peanut butter cups. Love them!
4. Nope, no parties. My parents took Rose to the zoo last weekend and she wore her bunny costume there, so outside of actual Halloween, that's when she's worn it.
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
I'm some form of CD 18, which might also be 7DPO.
It could be that I'm spotting w/ temp drop to start my
period 5-7 days early, or the universe could hate
me and have thrown a CD9/10/11 ovulation at me, in
which case I could be having implantation spotting.
So emotionally I'm an anxious mess. Physically, I
just feel like crap (to put it very, very nicely).
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
More r&r.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
I just love wee little candy in general. So good at
enforced portion control!
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are
you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And
we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
Nope, but I'm ushering for a production of Into the Woods.
Mother's Day, 2011
1. Third week of BCP, kinda sick, kinda tired. Really looking forward to sleeping in on Sunday to try to get over the "ick".
2. Tailgating tomorrow, although I think I might leave at halftime of the Purdue game to go back and tailgate!
3. Hot Apple Cider!
4. Our dogs have costumes, but we're not really dressing up and I'm not sure about a party yet. We have a few invites though.
1. bah!
2. Carving our pumpkin, homecoming game with lots of friends back in town
3. I do not discriminate. I just love candy!
4. We aren't going to any parties but I will be dressing up to pass out candy. Shawn has to work that night so one of my girlfriends is coming over and we are going to have our own little party to ooo and ahh over the little cuties in their costumes
Oh and I am dressing up as a sports official--black pants, stripes, and a whistle (not creative because those are all things that I already have in my closet.)
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
cd19 4dpo
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
not much. the kid will be with me this weekend. i always look forward to that, but i have class tomorrow, a paper to write and 2 tests to study for.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
bottle caps! reece's cups are a close 2nd
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
negative. no idea if the kids are going trick-or-treating or not, they are almost past the age. plus they are with their mother this year for halloween and hopefully we'll be sitting at football game
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
AF is about ready to leave the building... this was kind of a weird cycle for me... I dont know whats going on with my body.
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Babysitting to get a bit of money... other than that I'll have a weekend pretty much home by myself so... no plans to really look forward to...
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
well... If we are talkin home made I like candy apples & roasted/seasoned pumpkin seeds (in modest amounts)... but if we are talkin candy
then I'm quite fond of reeses candy, 3 musketeers and skittles
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
we are planning on having one at the house after all the neighbors kids go trick or treating.... going to be very informal. But fun none the less! The plan is that I'm going to be a Valkyrie and DH is going to be my warrior's soul (I'm into mythology... I know... I'm a nerd... BUT I LOVE HALLOWEEN!) Now... that being said, If we are too poor this week to finish the costumes, we have backup costumes in which case I will be a scarecrow and David will be a scary gorilla or Frankenstein... pics will be posted promptly following Halloween!
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling? 21w0d! Feeling good
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend? Spending time w/ T.J.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat? Peanut butter cups.
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!) I don't know yet! Probably.
Joseph Henry was born at home on March 9, 2009
Nora Mae was born at home on October 30, 2011
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?
I believe 3m 2w and 6d pp. Feeling ok, just tired this week.
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend?
We are having a fish fry/cook out at my Aunts house tomorrow night. I will get to see a lot of relatives, so that will be nice. Plus no cooking supper!:) On Sunday I have a baby shower for a cousin of DH's. I will get to finally introduce them to Gracie! Can't wait.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat?
Reese's cups or Starburst.
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
No, we usually don't go to any. Gracie is just being dressed in her "Babies 1st Halloween" onesie with a pumkin on the butt.
She also has a pumpkin bib and hat, so she will just wear that.
~GRACIE JEAN 7-5-08~
1. CD 7 I think. Feeling good, happy that AF has left the building.
2. Spending time with my husband, haven't seen him much this week.
3. I hate candy, so I guess hot apple cider.
4. Possibly, but DH will be working late, so we haven't officially decided. No clue what we'd dress up as.
1. CD 8. My temps are higher this cycle than they have ever been before, so maybe that's a sign that I might have a *normal* cycle (or it could just be the meds)? I'm also done with clomid, and I feel very lucky that I didn't experience any averse side effects!
2. Seeing my school's musical (Seussical) with DH tonight and going out to dinner with friends before hand.
3. PB cups!
4. Possibly, we both like Halloween but haven't gotten too creative yet. DH threw out the idea of going as Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, but we're not sure how we'd dress.
Jocelyn, what a cute Halloween costume idea
Jocelyn, you could always just put on business suits
and run around screaming "I'M IN TROUBLE GIVE
ME YOUR MONEY" and then looking for people's wallets.
Likely to get you kicked out of a party, but it's really
the only way I could think of to do it...
Mother's Day, 2011
1. CD7 - feeling fine
2. We're going to Purdue's Homecoming.
3. I like Kitkats, which aren't really a Halloween treat, but it is my fave candy to get.
4. Yes, we have a neighborhood halloween party. Jackson is a dinosaur this year.
1. I'm 26 weeks pregnant. I can't believe that the 3rd tri is almost here!
2. I have a long list of errands to run...not that errands are that much fun but I know I will feel good when they are all done and I can stop thinking about it.
3. It is hard to narrow down the fav Halloween treat...I guess probably tootsie rolls and smarties and nerds.
4. We have a Halloween party tomorrow night. Tonight we are planning on looking for something to wear. I have absolutely no cute ideas.
1. 1w4d pp. Wow, does it ever seem weird to type that!
2. Getting to know Ben even that much more, visiting with Mike's mom, and sleeping!
3. The little boxes of Nerds.
4. We're invited to one that's Saturday, but I doubt we'll go. I don't think I'll get a costume for Ben, but I may break down and get one. I think it would be hard to find something small enough to fit him!
LOL Krisa! I don't know that we want to be "that couple" at a Halloween party.
*KrisTa, not krisa, obvi*
And i wasn't finished with the post...when I hit enter, my computer automatically posted it for me.....the suggestions about getting suits at Goodwill are good...I'll have to look into that one.
1. 6dpo, feeling tired and having some weird very, very mild cramping
2. hosting a bridal shower for my MOH
3. Twix or Kit-kat
4. we are having a party, not sure if we're dressing up yet, others will.

3. Reese's and Twix

I'm waaaayyyy late, but want to play anyway!
1. 6w2d pregnant! I'm 15% of the way there!
I feel good - tired, but that is also because I've driven 4500 miles this week for work.
?
2. Looking forward to watching ND football (prime time game!) and wearing sweats allll weekend.
3. I'm not a big candy person, so I like apple cider best.
4. We aren't going to Halloween parties. We just don't get into Halloween at all. Sophie is going to be a bumblebee.
?
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling?

Sweet tarts!
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!)
Hopefully I'll have a little punkin' in my arms on Halloween!
I'm really late replying too, but thought I would anyway.
1. CD 17. Really moody this week. Hoping I have a normal cycle this time. It's been almost 9 months since I had Haley and my cycles still aren't normal.
2. Going to IU's Homecoming tomorrow! DH's parents are coming to stay with Haley! Sunday we'll just hang out with baby girl and watch football all day!
3. I love love love caramel apples. Favorite candy has to be either Skittles or Starburst.
4. Not going to any parties (or taking Haley trick-or-treating), but we're dressing Haley as a bumblebee - if the costume fits. If not, I'll head out for last minute costume shopping!
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling? End of 2nd week of pills...I'm tired. But that has to do with lack of sleep more than anything.
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend? We're having a party tomorrow. It's going to be tons of fun.
3) What is your fav Halloween treat? Flavored tootsie rolls
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!) We might have one next weekend, but I don't think we're dressing up. SS hasn't decided on a costume yet.
1. Four weeks and three days.
2. Getting started reading the newest "What to Expect When You're Expecting"
3. Reese Pumpkins are the best!
4. I am not sure if we are going to any parties. My SD who is 9 will be a "spa girl"...she is wearing a robe, painting her face, slippers, curlers, etc. It is sooo cute!
1) CD12. I'm feeling great!
2) I'm getting together with the Army Wives this weekend. We're having a sleepover here at my parent's house (how ridic does that sound?!?!?! haha... have to be able to laugh about it), getting pedicures and making "welcome home" signs for our men! WOOHOO!!!
We'll also discuss if we'll be getting together next month because they'll begin arriving home soon... YAY!!!
3) Hmmm... the little Snickers bars - frozen. It's the greatest ever.
4) No and No. Brother and SIL are bringing Coop over so I'll probably just play with him and go to visit my other nephews that live in town. Cooper is going to be "Coopenstein" and Hayden and Beau are dressing up as a hunter and a white tail
Too funny!
1. CD 17. feeling fine. Wish Emma would have stopped sleeping through the night before AF returned instead of after!!
2. Not really anything going on. I have a cold so I am looking forward to hopefully feeling better!
3. No parties here. Emma is going to be a cow. Her nickname is munchie moo (long story) and we saw this fleece sleeper like costume at Carter's and on each foot it says moo. So cute!! DH and I aren't dressing up, but our dog (Sookie) will be is going to be a monkey.
1) Where are you at and how are you feeling? CD16. I picked up a nasty cold in Prague, so the full day of flights was a little icky, but SO happy to be home!
2) What are you looking forward to this weekend? a family reunion....though I'm dreaded the early morning drive
3) What is your fav Halloween treat? smarties
4) Are you going to any Halloween parties? Are you/DH/babies dressing up? If so, as what? (And we'd like to see pictures post-Halloween!) not sure...some of my college buddies are coming down to tailgate on Saturday to relive the college days. I'm not sure if we'll go out on Friday or not.
