Re: Monday Check-in
1. CD 6. Feeling weird. Not good not bad just weird.
2. It was good. Busy, and a little tiring, but also lots of
fun stuff.
3. I'm excited for the election tomorrow to be OVER.
I'm worried about the results of said election. I'm also
a little apprehensive about an interview tomorrow, but
it isn't horrible. And I'm really happy that PSU told its
instructors to give their students the 4th off class so that
Mike can visit for an extra five days!
Mother's Day, 2011
1. 18w!! Great. I have no complaints.
2. So fun. Dh was OOT, so my MIL and DH's aunt came to visit me for "girls weekend". We all went shopping (with my mom too). The moms bought some cute baby outfits at a supercute shop in Z-ville. They each bought me a maternity outfit at motherhood. I'm so spoiled! I also finish my nursery paintings.
3. I'm really anxious about understanding and choosing the best medical plans - we have a lot of options between DH and I, which is great, although overwhelming for a newbie. It's important that we do it right since we'll have a lot of expenses. Other things - I'm excited about Yoga and the upcoming holidays. I'm also excited that it's November, as we should get our crib at the end of this month! We have our "big" ultrasound a week from tomorrow. WOOT.
1. 2nd week of Yaz. Doing good. I'm very tired today though. Ellie was up a lot last night.
2. My weekend was good! I spent a lot of time with Ellie just lazing around the house. It was very relaxing.
3. I don't really have a lot going on right now that is exciting or anything. Just life with a 5 month old! lol
1. 5w6d pg. I am feeling alright. Boobies are really sore and a little tired.
2. Weekend was good. Pretty busy. I enjoyed the nice weather.
3. I am excited for my first prenatal appointment and my brother being in the states on Nov. 30th. I will also be excited when the election is over!
1. Where are you at? how are you feelin'? 22w3d, feeling great
2. How was your weekend? Nice, we cleaned, hiked, watched birth movies, and cooked.
3. Share something else about what's going on in your life right now - worries, excitement, etc. We're going to Key West next week! I'm super excited. We're turning a wedding into a 5-day mini vaca.

Nora Mae was born at home on October 30, 2011
1) CD21 - feeling great! Tired but that's from the weekend, not my cycle. I'm having some O pains on my right side, so I'm thinking today's the day for that!
2) It was pretty great! Friday night, my brother, sil and Coop came to stay the night and have Halloween at the house. I made his costume for him and he was Frankenstein (I'll have to post a pic) it was so cute. Two of my other nephews stopped by so it was good to see them
Saturday, I had a session then we had Coop's birthday party here at my parent's house. That was a lot of fun! Yesterday, we drove down to Rising Sun for an art and wine festival... that wound up not being there. SO we just came home, threw a football around, ate leftover chili and hung out. Then, watched the Colt's game last night! WOOHOO!
3) MY HUSBAND COMES HOME THIS month!!!!!!!!!! Not till the very, very end but still!
1. CD18. I've been experiencing weird dull cramps on both sides since Saturday night. Had legitimate EWCM for the first time over the weekend, which I thought was a good sign, but no O yet. So I guess I'm not really sure what is going on at the moment.
2. Loved the weather and the leaves this weekend. It made me so glad to live in a place where I get to experience the seasons.
3. I'm looking forward to this weekend. DH will be out of town (that's not the part I'm excited about) and I am planning on just cleaning, relaxing, and getting organized. I'm hoping to start Christmas lists too! I've felt a little out of sorts lately in terms of being organized, so I'm hoping for a productive weekend.
1. Where are you at? how are you feelin'?
3mo 4w 1d pp. Feeling very tired, my body is just starting to feel run down. I don't know if it's weather related or I'm coming down with something.
2. How was your weekend?
Ok, nothing too exciting. I worked a few hrs on Sat and Sun.
3. Share something else about what's going on in your life right now - worries, excitement, etc.
I'm pretty much worried about everything...voting, money, Gracie, my parents, Holiday season, bills, leaving Gracie to go to work.
I'm excited that I got asked to be in a wedding. It's my cousin's and his fiance asked me. I have been friends with her for awhile so it will be so much fun. DH is also in it, so we will be walking down together. It's not until Aug, but that's something to look forward to.

1. Third week of pills. Feeling fine, if a bit tired from being at the Colts game last night. w0000000t!!!
2. Pretty fab... Friday dressed up and went out for Halloween, Saturday winter-ized our garden and yard out in the great weather and enjoyed some kickass football (Mich St won, and WOW Texas Tech!), and yesterday enjoyed more football and then went to the Colts v. Pats game with my dad.
3. Currently stressing over the BIG PICTURE of things... working on my dissertation (a full-time job in itself) to graduate in May, job-hunting for postdoc fellowships, but also trying to figure out just WHAT I want to do next -- maybe something other than a postdoc fellowship even. And do we relocate or stay here? If we move, do we try to sell our house or rent it out? If *I* move, can DH find a job that makes it worth it to come with me, or does he stay here with his company? SO.MANY.QUESTIONS.

1. Where are you at? how are you feelin'?
AF is due any minute now and I'm feeling the cramps.
2. How was your weekend?
It was good, for the most part. I took the kiddo trick or treating, I got some great deals at Old Navy and NY&Co, and I spent most of yesterday relaxing (napping). Oh yeah and we went to a party on Saturday at our neighbor's house. It was really fun and they had some strong apple cider. I was feeling it.
3. Share something else about what's going on in your life right now - worries, excitement, etc.
DH and I are celebrating our second anniversary tomorrow! I can't believe how time has flown.
1. post AF just waiting around for an O
2. SO awesome! A girlfriend and I dressed up to give out candy on Friday night (and finished off a few bottles of wine in the process), I got a ton done around the house this weekend, and I am killing the leader in my for money fantasy football league (he just has TE to go tonight and I am up 25). Plus I made the best dinner last night -- whole wheat pizza crust with goat cheese, black olives, sun dried tomatoes, basil, toasted pine nuts and olive oil. YUM!
3. I'm excited to finally get the last few wedding related things done--clean my dress (wedclean) and design our album (we hired neilsapril to do it because she is a million times better than me).
1. 3 mo. pp and feeling good.
2. Weekend was good. Evelyn looked adorable on Halloween and I got to spend lots of time with her...plus the Colts won!!
3. I'm excited about the holidays coming up. it's going to be great to share them with my DD. I'm worried about the election tomorrow and the outcome. I'm an Obama girl and hope all the polls are accurate and he wins. I'm also worried about our country if he doesn't win.
1) 16w0d - feeling ok. I had a headache all weekend, but thankfully work is so busy that I'm not noticing it right now.
2) Aside from the headache - ok. I had a bunch of work-stuff to do.
3) My work is crazy. I am involved in a huge project that is the most visible project to our upper management and board of directors right now. Plus, it means I have to go to Detroit again this week and again next week. I'm tired of the drive already and I hate staying in hotel rooms, plus eating on the road with GD is incredibly challenging (not to mention that I have to bring tons of my own food and refrigerated medication!). So, I'm super stressed and busy right now. It's bittersweet because it's making the time go by quickly, but I just don't want to be stressed about work right now. I'm just ready for it to be done.
1. 5 months pp, feeling good.
2. My weekend was nice and relaxing. We passed out candy on Friday, and didnt do much on Saturday or Sunday. It is nice having those weekends every once in a while.
3. Im excited because a lot of my friends are pregnant right now...lots of new playmates for Luke. Also Im getting excited for the holidays.
Amy
1. 15d postpartum. Feeling better as my body is healing. Evan is sleeping in 2-3 hour stretches at night...which is so much better than getting up almost every hour...LOL.
2. Tiring...we had family come into town overnight on Saturday. It was great to see them, but exhausting.
3. Still amazed by our little miracle...and Evan is growing up so fast!
TTC #2 since 9/09 --- mild PCOS; Endometriosis
IUI x4 = BFN
IVF = sometime in 2012
1. CD 2. Weirdly happy that AF had decided to return and actually right on schedule. Kind of frusturated that everything about my health and cycle have been pretty normal my whole life and yet I can't seem to stay pg. Excited that perhaps we can TTC in a few months and at the same time scared to death that I could m/c for a 3rd time.
2. We helped our bestfriends move into their 1st home as well as change some light fixtures and other stuff to make it feel like their home. It was fun to use our experience to help someone else and a nice break from working on our house.
3. See above for worries and yet perhaps excitement all wrapped into one.
1. CD2...booo. AF finally showed 3 days late
2. weekend was good, had a halloween party and watched my niece play soccer.
3. I'm worried about TTC. DH has some low hormone levels which has caused low motility and issues with morphology. We are trying to get this fixed, however I am concerned what's next if it doesn't and how long it's going to take. All of the phantom symptoms I had and the waiting is killing me.

1. 5w6d pp, 6w check is tomorrow. ?I feel pretty good.
2. ?Good, yesterday we did nothing, it was nice. ?Sat I got to see some of my family.
3. ?I am most worried about having to go back work. ??
1. It's the second day of the first week of a new pack of pills. AF is still here though and last night I was vomiting around midnight. I'm at work today, kinda shaky and wishing I was back in bed.
2. My weekend was really good, although Satuday I stayed home from the Purdue game sick. We did go to IKEA in Cincinnati yesterday and got a new dresser and coffee table.
3. I'm just really worried about my job in this economy. It's not really anything that is "real" but I'm just worried that I'm not living up to expectations. It's my anxiety that's causing this and I really wish that it wasn't affecting me like this!
1. CD17, feeling good. My chart's been a little weird the last few days, so I'm hoping it will be easy to see my O date.
2. Pretty restful. I had a million things around the house to get done, but pretty much sat around the house reading. But it was nice.
3. I fell down a couple stairs last week and hurt my wrist, it's been starting to hurt more now that my bruise appears to be healing, so I'm hoping I didn't break anything.
1. I'm 27 weeks pregnant and feel pretty good. This morning, I had a little trouble getting on my rings so hopefully it isn't the start of more major swelling...I'd like to delay that as long as possible!
2. I was the MOH in a wedding this weekend. Everything went well and was beautiful. It totally wore me out, but was a fun weekend.
3. I'm a generally concerned about how money will be after we have our little guy. I'm really excited because my first shower is this weekend!! After the wedding this weekend (and my sisters two weeks ago), i'm excited to not be total wedding mode anymore.
1. CD26. I feel absolutely lousy. I cannot seem to get rid of this cold/flu thing.
2. Not so great - see #1. I tried to start cleaning out my basement and basically just ended up dragging everything out to the garage. I ran out of energy and so everything's still there and slept the rest of the weekend.
3. Excitement - I feel lke a broken record, but Jake's coming home next week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aahhhhhhhh!
- I'm so excited for the holidays this year
Worries - I really wish I could get over being sick. I feel horrible and have zero energy. I need to go to the doctor, but I HATE doctors
Stresses - I had a random job related opportunity come my way last week and I'm trying to evaluate it and see what's the best thing for us to do. I'm also anxious for Jake to find out whether or not he got into law school
1. I start stims today!!! I stopped the bcp on Thursday, started my period yesterday, had an u/s and b/w this morning and start stimming tonight. Next appt will be on Saturday!
2. It was ok - I was very pmsy on Saturday, and had an awful headache yesterday afternoon/last night. Woke up this morning with some stomach issues. Other than that it was ok!
3. See #1. I'd love to be able to say that I had other things going on, but not really. I'm trying to keep my life as uncomplicated, stress-free as possible.
1. Three weeks pp. Feeling pretty good, actually. Ben's up 2x per night for about an hour, so I get about 6 hours of sleep a night.
2. Good! Janet and Julie came to visit yesterday, so that was fun. Ben was fussy all day Saturday, though, so that kind of sucked.
3. Trying to figure out a pumping schedule so I can build up a stash, trying to figure out how I want to manage pumping once I go back to work, and trying to figure out how to best manage Ben taking a bottle at least once a day. It seems like he waaay overate last night when we tried it.
1. 18w 6d pg. Feelin' good. Big US is tomorrow!!!!!!
2. Nice and relaxing.
3. Meeting with a potential babysitter tomorrow.
1. CD 6, I think. Cycle wise, feeling fine. Starting to get stuffed up again, though. Stupid cold season.
2. Weekend was fabulous! We did stuff with HfH, and it went well. I was so proud of my high schoolers and how hard they worked, and I was thrilled that DD was so cooperative (I wore her on my back the whole time we were there- 4 hours). Instead of chasing her around trying to keep her out of the way, I was actually able to get down on the ground and lay sod while she hung out in the Snugli and watched all the goings-on around her.
3. I am excited that school is so interesting, but I'm worried that my non-4.0 won't be enough to get into the (highly competitive) program.
1. Where are you at? how are you feelin'?
Week 2 of cycle... got a cold comin on... but feel ok!
2. How was your weekend?
Fantastic! Will be posting pics soon... but was super busy with the new job today!
3. Share something else about what's going on in your life right now - worries, excitement, etc.
I'm so happy right now that this little storm we've been weathering seems to finally be coming to an end. I'm employed (!), we're both working on school, and I think, I THINK, we are going to be able to get caught up on ALL our bills. It's all so very lovely! So yay!
