Re: Friday Check-In
1. Where and how: 15 weeks 6 days prego
2. Weekend plans: heading home and facing reality. i'm sure at some point i'll be fighting off the end of vacation and back to work blues.
3. Highlight of the week: we've been in orlando all week but we didn't do a day at disney. but last night we went to a character dinner with mickey, minnie, donald, pluto, and goofy. definitely the best thing we did all week. she loved it. well. actually her favorite thing was the monorail. but it was just fun to see her so excited!
4. Do you plant a garden: no. but i've started thinking about it. i really, really like the idea of growing some of my own produce. just not sure about the commitment factor. plus i'd need to learn a little more about it first i suppose! i do plant some flowers every spring.
1. Where and how? 28 weeks 5 days pg. Back is killing me! I don't know how much bigger I can get, lol.
2. Weekend plans? More baby shopping!
3. Highlight and/or lowlight of your week? Highlight: getting my travel system. Lowlight: the pain that has started in my backand abdomen
4. Do you plant a garden? If so, what does it include? If not, what else do you do around the house/yard every Spring? I always plant flowers, but I haven't done vegetables in years. I can't wait for the weather to change so that I can get all of my pots out!
1. 4+ weeks post-partum. We're doing okay - I took Connor to the pediatrician this week and we've started probiotics. A couple of recent studies showed them to be very helpful in infants with "colic" - an old term, but Connor fits the criteria. Basic I think he has terrible gas. I'm also eliminating dairy (horrible) so I'm hoping he starts feeling better. I think I've noticed a difference already!
2. We are actually having a date night tonight! My parents offered to babysit. Not sure how I'm going to work out the pumping situation though
We're going to dinner at a non-kid-friendly place on Mass Ave and then to a sports bar to watch the games with some friends.Tomorrow is Jocelyn's birthday and we're going to the Children's Museum. Sunday the families are coming over to celebrate and watch basketball.
3. Honestly, the highlight was probably just getting a plan to help Connor's belly - it made me feel better to be doing something about it. Lowlight - eliminating dairy
Also, Connor rolled front-to-back and Jocelyn counted to 4 
4. Yep, we plant lots of flowers, an herb garden, and a small vegetable garden. I also have some berries but they never produce much. I have good luck with tomatoes, peppers, and zucchini but have failed miserably with green beans and broccoli - not enough sun, I think.
1. Where and How - 13 weeks, 3 days pg. So tired. I have to start going to bed earlier!
2. Weekend Plans - Pizza and movie at a friend's house tonight and my parents might be coming down at some point this weekend. Working on my grandma's taxes and our own.
3. Highlight/Lowlight - nothing really comes to mind for either. It's been a pretty blah week. Lame.
4. Garden - We plant tomatoes, bell peppers, and hot peppers in our flower beds each year. We tried swet potatoes last year, but I forgot about them and we dug them up well past their prime. I won't have one this year since we'll be in an apartment complex in the spring and will be moved out (by the grace of God) before it's time to harvest.
2. Weekend plans? I work Saturday & Sunday, but tonight we're going to run some errands and have dinner out. DH is at the firehouse Saturday, but I might go bowling without him with some of his friends Saturday night.
3. Highlight and/or lowlight of your week? Lowlight-heading back to class after a week off Highlight-putting 2 exams behind me-only 2 exams & 1 final left in my life!
4. Do you plant a garden? If so, what does it include? If not, what else do you do around the house/yard every Spring? I always look forward to planting annuals. DH has decided to put in our own garden this year. It's not really necessary as we always get more than we can eat from his family's gardens, but if it occupies him I'm game. We tilled up a section of ground but haven't decided what to plant yet.
Happy Friday! 4 questions today:
1. Where and how? ??
2. Weekend plans? nothing, nothing, nothing! first time this has happened in forever and I cant wait! will def. be watching bball:)
3. Highlight and/or lowlight of your week? hightlight- Barrett leared to ride his tricycle earlier this week when it was warm. lowlight- DH worked a ton of hours this week. Didn't get home till 10 or 11 most nights.
4. Do you plant a garden? If so, what does it include? If not, what else do you do around the house/yard every Spring? I don't do fruit/veggies, but always plant a ton of flowers. I love gardening!
1. CD16 and feeling great! I had an IUI this morning and yesterday, so our 3rd TWW has officially begun.
2. I'm hoping to go to the southside mothers of multiples sale.
3. Lowlight- a dear friend is going through a horribly difficult time and it's just heartbreaking. There's very little we can do to help, and that just sucks. Highlight- being 2 weeks pregnant! lol
4. Yes, and this year we're doing it up! K's mom is a Master Gardener and she's helping us start our new garden (we moved last summer). I don't know a whole lot about their plans/layout, but it's going to be big and beautiful! We usually do a few varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, summer squash, green peppers, jalepenos, basil, and chives. This year I'd like to add onions, potatoes, some different types of melon, strawberries, green beans, pumpkin, and more herbs. We're planting it in honor or our Grandfathers who passed away this year. "Grandpa's Garden" will donate to food banks in the area that take produce. I'm excited.
I've been thinking about you and wondering how everything is going. So super exciting - I'll be keeping you guys in my thoughts!
That is awesome
Ditto all of this!
Good luck with your 2WW!
