Re: Friday check-in!

  • 1. how are you feeling:  feelin good....except for the fact that i stayed up til midnight and dd#1 decided wake up time was 5 AM this morning! eek!

    2. highlight: DD#2's godmother made over a handmade advent calendar for our family.  it's adorable and i know how many hours it took her, i can't believe she made FOUR of them and gave us with one!  lowlight: i did too much worrying yesterday

    3. weekend plans:  hanging out with friends tonight.  the husbands like to watch goldrush.    tomorrow i have a baby shower and then sunday is DD#2's baptism.

    4.commute:  i had a 5 minute drive to school when i was teaching.  the school is seriously maybe 2 miles from my house.  it really spoiled me.

  • 1.  Feeling ok.  Can't wait to start lupron on 12/21 and kick BCP on 12/24 in preparation for IVF #4.

    2. Highlight- Getting official dates from my RE to start meds for IVF!  Lowlight- all the phone calls yesterday from pharmacies to work out OOP drug costs... I was seriously frustrated and on the phone off and on for over 2 hours, but saved some money, so it was worth it.

    3. Cookie exchange party tonight.  Tomorrow or Sunday, dh and I may meet up with a friend of his for dinner... not sure yet.  Otherwise, no plans.

    4. Currently, I'm a SAHW, but I do occasional projects from home for my former employer.  When I worked (in IL before moving to IN), my drive to the office was about 20 minutes.

  • 1. Good! Connor STTN twice this week :) He is eating more food so I think that is helping him to get more calories during the day.

    2. Highlight: Unexpectedly having yesterday and today off work! I have been very productive at home.

    Lowlight: I have to work a 24-hour shift tomorrow :(

    3. Working tomorrow. No definite plans for Sunday but probably watching football and hoping I make my fantasy football league playoffs. Might  celebrate some family birthdays too.

    4. My commute varies. If I have clinic on campus downtown, it's about 10 minutes. Unfortunately I still have to leave 30 minutes early in order to give myself time to pump! I end up sitting in the parking lot for 20 minutes most days. If I am working at the Rehab hospital, my commute is about 20 minutes, more with traffic and the unending contruction on 38th street.

  • 1.  Tired.  A little nauseous, but I'm happy to report that the unisom is working at night.  Ah...sleep.

    2.  Highlight:  MOPS leadership Christmas party last night.  Kid-free fun!  :)  Oh, and it snowed, y'all!  Lowlight:  The snow is melting.  I wanted it to be around a little longer.

    3.  DH is working 1/2 day today, so probably going out to lunch together.  I have to wrap and mail his family's gifts since they're in Germany.  Hoo boy.  Finishing up decorating the house this weekend.  

    4.  My commute was 20-25 minutes for my last job, which is not bad.  I was going against traffic so I could get to work pretty quickly.  It could have been 45 min - 1 hour if I'd been in traffic, so I was always thankful we lived where we did!

(at 24 weeks it should be at 4.5) admitted to hospital. While at the hospital, contractions started to increase to 7 every 1/2 hour.

    2. highlight/lowlight of your week? Lowlight=the above (obviously)Highlight=contractions were slowed down w/ meds and cevix check measured at 2.4 this am so bedrest and meds working! May be able to go home tomorrow

    3. weekend plans? Rest and keep this baby cooking!

    4. if you work outside the home, how long is your commute?  if you don't currently work, how long was your commute at your last job? Commute is 15 minutes with moderate traffic, home always takes longer depending on the beautiful I-69 traffic : )
