  1.  15 weeks pregnant with twins.  Overall, feeling pretty good.

  2.  Highlight- I didn't do it, but dh tore off our old deck which was small and falling apart, so he can build a new larger one.  I'm just excited to get this process started.  Lowlight- Lots of laundry on Saturday since we returned from a week's vacation.

  3.  Shopping for maternity clothes!  I only have one pair of maternity jeans and one pair of maternity shorts.  My regular clothes (bottoms especially) are starting to get tight, so I need to buy some more maternity clothes.  Although, since I'm a SAHW and do laundry twice a week, I'm not planning to buy too much and hoping to find some good deals.

  4. I was on the Knot so long ago, I don't remember what boards.  I visited the Nest occasionally, but not very often, and still go there from time to time.  Primarily- Cleaning and Organizing, Decorating and Renovating, Money Matters, and Travel!  It wasn't until we began TTC that I got active on the Bump boards.  I started on Getting Pregnant (GP) which was renamed to Trying to Get Pregnant.  Then I moved to Trouble TTC.  As time passed with no BFP, I moved to Infertility (IF) and IFVets.  Once I got my first ever BFP, I moved to Pregnant after IF.  And when I found out I was having twins, I also began posting on Multiples.  Every so often, but not regularly, I visit Baby Names, Nurseries and Baby Gear, and Jan 2012.

  1.  I'm hungry!  I just worked out so I need to make lunch. 

  2.  Honestly, the weekend went by so quickly that I don't remember much.  I didn't get to sleep in on Saturday b/c DD woke me up screaming.  Oh...I had some good apple pie on Saturday - count that as my highlight. 

  3.  A MOPS leadership retreat on Friday night through Saturday late morning.  Aaaaah.  OH!  And a massage tomorrow.  Double aaaaaaah.

  4.  I frequent the Austin board since that's where we lived before Indy.  I stay off the national boards (other than to lurk) because of the snark and craziness (did you see where the person on the 6-9 month board reported another person to CPS?).  I got my start on the Austin Knot board.  I also frequented Planning & Etiquette (name has since changed).  Man, people on that board could be nasty, but it was helpful!

  1. how are you feeling? Going crazy! I'm not 18 dpo/cd 46. This is a VERY long cycle for me. I'm trying hard not to cave and test for the 50th time.

  2. weekend highlight? lowlight? Highlight-see our friends' 3 day old baby girl. She's incredible! Lowlight-cleaning out one of our spare bedrooms-I'm glad to have it done though!

  4. what other Bump/Nest/Knot boards do you currently visit besides this one?  where did yet get your start on the Bump/Nest/Knot? I also visit TTGP. I first started on the knot, but I only posted there a couple times.

  1. Exhausted and triumphant We've made it half-way through these 2 weeks without my husband.

  2. We stayed at my parents' place on the lake. It was a good diversion but also busy.

  3. I can't wait for Chris to get home.

  4. I lurked on the Indiana Knot board briefly a long time ago. On the Bump, I started at TTC, then the Tri boards, and sometime midway during my first pregnancy I realized there were local boards. Duh. Now I occasionally peruse the BF, 3-6, and 24+.
