1. how are you feeling? 5 weeks pp and doing well. although i feel like i'm starting to question the amount of pain i still have in my abdomen. i don't remember it lasting this long last time. it comes and goes, so i don't know if it comes from overdoing it? i went for a long walk yesterday and woke up sore this morning. i'm telling myself that's what it is....

2. highlight: going to our college homecoming. it was a beautiful day, the weather was perfect and everyone was happy. lowlight: my grandma isn't doing well. she's been in the nursing home with alzheimer's for the last two or so years. it sounds like she's reaching the final stages and has stopped eating.

3. what are you looking forward to this week: nice weather and possibly seeing old friends from high school

4. do you attend reunions? i haven't had to make this decision yet since my high school class has yet to have a reunion. we should of had our 10 year this summer, but it never got done (not a big surprise). i had decided that i wouldn't be going 9 months pregnant so i wasn't too disappointed maybe if i'm done having kids and have lost all baby weight, and we actually have one, i'll attend my 15 year reunion!!!!

1. how are you feeling? Excited and anxious. I'm calling the RE today to get plans rolling for our next IVF cycle.

2. weekend highlight? Getting the dumpster all loaded up... not only did we fit the old deck and some junk in the garage in there, we also we able to fit the huge stick pile in the backyard so now we don't have to burn them. We also went to Ted's Montana Grill for dinner Saturday night.... so yummy. lowlight? I'm sore from carrying all the stuff to the dumpster.

3. what are you looking forward to this week? Going to the Container Store... I didn't want to go on opening weekend.

4. do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not? I helped plan and attend my big 10 year reunion. I was not popular in HS. I was thin and had a great job and couldn't wait to attend even though I wasn't yet married. We had a mini 15 year reunion picnic last summer and families were invited as well. I attended, but DH couldn't come. It was still fun, but I was sad because everyone had cute little kids and babies, and I didn't and was getting ready to start my first round of IVF. As of right now, I would probably attend my 20 year, and I hope to have kids by then.

1. How are you feeling? - 31 weeks and things are starting to get a mite uncomfortable, but not unbearable. Every little thing makes me tired!2. Weekend highlight? Lowlight? - My weekend was pretty quiet. My husband was out of town so I watched girly movies, worked on baby's Christmas stocking, and snuggled with our dogs. Lowlight - sitting around missing my husband! I'm usually not this much of a piner, but having a little one on the way makes me worry about him a LOT more and what I would do without him. 3. What are you looking forward to this week? - Spending time with a dear friend who is on fall break4. Do you attend high school or other school reunions? Why or why not? - My high school reunion is in 2 years, and I have mixed feelings about going. I really don't keep in touch with many people from HS. I do go back to KY for college get-togethers (weddings, Homecoming, sorority reunion, etc.)

raches · October 2011

1. How are you feeling? 27w3d pregnant and feeling pretty good

2. Weekend highlight? Many things - got a new car, had my baby shower, DH painted the nursery and assembled the cribs. Lowlight? That the weekend had to end!

3. What are you looking forward to this week? Organizing all my baby shower gifts.

4. Do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not? I recently had my 10 year reunion, and I didn't go. This sound ridiculous, but the main reason was because I can't drink right now. Those situations require alcohol.

PurdueMama14 · October 2011

1. how are you feeling? Can't complain! Getting ready to go for a run once DS gets up from his nap.

2. weekend highlight? Watching DS interact with his cousins who were in town from Nashville. They were all so cute together and my niece got some really big giggles from DS! Too freaking cute! lowlight? Had some tummy troubles last night after dinner...thought maybe I was getting the stomach bug that's been going around, but I feel better today.

3. what are you looking forward to this week? Taking some Halloween pictures of DS

4. do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not? My 10 year high school reunion will be in 2013 and I'm undecided whether I will go or not. It would be really nice to see some of my friends from high school that I only keep in touch with through facebook.

1. How are you feeling?
Been better. There's a lot going on in my life right now & I feel as if I'm in a constant state of limbo. Not sure what decisions to make or what to do...

2. Weekend highlight?
Had a multiple family playdate at Waterman's on Saturday. Kids ran around, played in pumpkins & we all got sunburns. [It is October, right?] Also, went to the Container Store on Sunday! It was packed but way worth it. I'm OCD so that place is like crack to me.
Lowlight?
My best friend in the entire world moved to Florida.

3. What are you looking forward to this week?
Hopefully catching up on some rest & finding some clarity.

4. Do you attend high school or other school reunions? Why or why not?
My 10 year is next year & I'm not sure I'm going. Actually, I doubt it. With Facebook, everyone has already caught up & stayed in touch over the years. The people that I wanted to keep in touch with, I already do.

1. how are you feeling?

Frustrated, because DH is procrastinating on something important.

2. weekend highlight? lowlight?

Highlight:Went to a a friend's son's birthday party. It was perfect weather and we had a good time.

Lowlight: DD will probably never want to go in the nursery at church ever again. She has a hard time anyway, but has been getting better. And then one of the nursery workers fell while holding DD. DD was fine, but they brought her to me just to let me know and cuddle with her because she was crying. When I walked back with her to get her diaper bag and shoes, she started screaming bloody murder when we got near the door. Poor baby Sad

3. what are you looking forward to this week?

Seeing my dad on Friday! I miss him! (not like I didn't see him 2 weekends ago)

4. do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not?

I went to my 5 year, and probably will go to my 10 year. Mostly because my cousin planned the last one and is planning the 10 year.

wrenchma · October 2011

1 . Not too bad 3 1/2 weeks PP but I still can't fit into pre-preg clothes.

2. heading for girls night out spa party with my sisters tonight for a few hours..Low..still working on getting house fall cleaned.

3. maybe getting out of the house more with DD and seeing my horses.

4. Not really, we always have something that comes up. just happens that way..

BTW- Hi All, I've been kind of lurking but Ithought since I'll be on here more I should get more involved with the updates.

brithil · October 2011

1. how are you feeling? CD 62-I'm going crazy!!

2. weekend highlight? lowlight? Highlight-the AMAZING weather!! Lowlight-working until 2pm on Saturday & until 1pm on Sunday so I missed out on some of the nice weather.

3. what are you looking forward to this week? Does the weekend count??

4. do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not? My class did not have a 5th year reunion. I haven't heard anything about a 10th year either-lucky me!

thethomps · October 2011

1. Pretty good! DD was up for about 3 hours last night, which was not fun, but I got to nap when she did today.

2. Highlight: Sleeping in on Sat. Lowlight: Some guy being a creeper yesterday and being WAY too close to my food when I was eating. I seriously thought he might ask me for a sweet potato fry.

3. Apple picking tomorrow!

4. I went to my 10 year. I'm not sure if I'll go again. It wasn't super fun b/c high school wasn't super fun for me, but I'll play it by ear.

marleysmom · October 2011

I had to work but Chris played golf today

1. Tired. I got about 2 hours of sleep on Friday while I was on call and haven't caught back up yet. On the bright side, Connor slept for 6 hours straight last night - this is an improvement!

2. Lowlight: The aforementioned call. We had a rough weekend with lots of sick patients.

Highlight: Appleworks on Saturday

3. I'm actually really looking forward to working with my patients. Kids are fun.

4. I was instrumental in planning my 10 year reunion, to my dismay. I was our class vice president and felt obligated, but it was a huge hassle and no one was very appreciative. Not sure what the deal will be with 15 years but I'm hoping my involvement will be limited to organizing a committee of people who actually want to plan it!

My guess is that this is probably causing pain. I know my OB had me refrain from long walks until 6 weeks pp, and even then I wasn't up for super long walks because I wasn't fully healed.

Hello! And don't worry about not fitting into pre-pg clothes. It took me about 6 months to fit back into my pre-pg shirts (helloooo breastfeeding!) and I still can't fit into a lot of my pre-pg pants - I think my hips spread and there's not much that can be done about that, unfortunately.

Woohoo! Go, Connor! Yes

If you are one of the lucky ones off today for Columbus Day, yay! Or if you are a SAHW/M, yay! I'm sorry for those of you that have to work today.

I worked, BOO

1. how are you feeling? blah

2. weekend highlight? lowlight? High=finding maternity pants that fit. I'm 5'2 and everything I tried was either to short or too long. Low=I guess doing crappy in my football poll (again)

3. what are you looking forward to this week? It's a bittersweet week. I have my a/s test done this week instead of next but only because my bloodwork didn't come out as well as what I was expecting. The doctor moved it up for me so I didn't have to wait. But we find out if its a boy or girl in 4 not 12 days!

4. do you attend high school or other school reunions? why or why not? No. I haven't lived in my home state for over 10 years and I think they just had the 5 yr not the 10...
