Welcome to this week's Chicago Bump Check-in!
If you want to be added to the check-in, please respond to this post and let me know what brings you to the bump (Do you have a DC? DD or DS? Date of DC's birthday? Are you pregnant (how far along) or TTC?), whether you live in the city or burbs (give me a direction: N, NW, W, SW, S).
Also, pregnant ladies: keep me updated if you move from team green to pink or blue! And let us know when your LOs arrive! We have a due date that passed and some coming up soon! 
And finally, some shout outs, hugs, etc.:
ScarlettBlue - did your little girl arrive?
MrsDrCook - did your lo arrive?
We'd love updates when you can.

QOTW:
Did you do anything fun for Fat Tuesday? And in follow-up, if your Catholic (I think thats the only religion that does this...), are you giving up anything for lent?
Re: ::Chicago Weekly Check-In::
Hi Chicago moms and moms-to-be!
I didn't do anything out of the ordinary for Fat Tuesday. I ended up doing a little shopping for spring clothes for my 2yo though. I'm ready to whip out the spring clothes! And while I am Catholic, I'm not giving up anything for lent this year. I figure with this pregnancy I'm already making some sacrifices
I'm definitely missing my daily caffeine jolt and my occasional glass of red wine!
Hey Everyone!
I am so boring - I did nothing different for Fat Tuesday! Before I was a SAHM, I used to have a paczki at work. But, nothing this year! I wish I would have thought of it...I would have had DH make some Hurricanes! Just kidding! And, I am not Catholic, so nothing to give up. Man, I am boring!
Hi Everyone! I would like to be a part of this group. I have 1 DD , born 5/1/2007 and one step DD, 7/27/2001. I am pregnant with my second one, but I am not sure how far along I am or when my due date is ( no period since I stopped using BC), but I will find out in like 11 hours at my us! I Live in Lake in the Hills now, but I grew up in Elgin.
As for the QOTW, all I did for Fat Tuesdays was develope a mean craving for muffalettas!!
Hello everyone!
I didn't do anything "fun" for Fat Tuesday either. I had leftover soup, which was really good.
I'm not giving anything up food/drink related for Lent, but I'm going to try to not swear so much. Wish me luck! haha.
This exactly for me! I gave up all sweets, so I binged on sweets on Tuesday. As I said on FB, my Tuesday night put the Very Hungry Caterpillar's Saturday night to shame! (For all you moms out there who have read that book 1000 times! or those of you who remember it well enough to know what I'm talking about!)
Episcopalians give up stuff for Lent too, I think. Not 100% sure, but as a Catholic considering the switchover, I should know that!
We didn't do anything. DH took our lab to obedience class, that's about it. I had a paczki for the first time though. It was quite delicious. Since I'm not Catholic, I have not given anything up for lent.

Thanks!
