~*~*2nd & 3rd Tri Check-in 8/26/16 ~*~* (HOUSEKEEPING ITEMS)

[frenchteachermama]

Sorry for the late check-in!  We're getting our hardwood refinished in our family room and I lost the internet for a day!

A couple of quick things...

1)  We've had a really slow check-in over the past few weeks...does everyone still want to keep this check-in?

2)  If we do, I'm 37 weeks on Sat and my c-section is in 2 weeks so I'm going to need someone to take over for me.  DD2 was 11 days early so I'm hoping someone will come on board for next week.

-------------------


Welcome to the check in for those of us who are in our second or third trimesters! This is your place to let everything out: the awesome, the shitty, and your questions. So tell us:

How far along are you?

How are you feeling?

Rants/raves/updates?

QOTW:  It's still super hot where I live but I'm hoping it will cool down a little soon...what are you most looking forward to this fall?

AFM:

How far along are you?
36W6D

How are you feeling?
Surprisingly I'm still feeling pretty good...I get very tired by the time my husband gets home from work but other than that I'm still running around with the girls and hanging with my friends!

Rants/raves/updates?
I spent this week getting my hospital bag ready. DD2 came 11 days early and I was totally unprepared. This time I'm leaving both girls at the beginning of the school year so I'm working extra hard to make sure things are in place for when the time comes!

QOTW: It's still super hot where I live but I'm hoping it will cool down a little soon...what are you most looking forward to this fall?
The first thing is meeting my baby girl! Second, I love apple picking and other typical fall activities!!

Totally *****lurking*****

Just want to tell you that I am so excited for you !!! Cannot wait to see pics of that little frenchy 💗😁

frenchteachermama - Lurking, too (even though I guess I can participate now LOL). You're so close!!! Have fun prepping.

And if the check-in is going to continue, I can run it if now one else wants to volunteer - it wouldn't hurt my feelings if someone wants to take over (I already run 2 other Friday check-ins on different boards). What day do you normally post it?

[tbonequeen13]

frenchteachermama, if the group consensus is to keep it, I don't mind running it

How far along are you? 23 weeks

How are you feeling? pretty decent..been super tired the last couple of days

Rants/raves/updates? little girl is moving more, which makes my PGAL so much easier to deal with!

QOTW: It's still super hot where I live but I'm hoping it will cool down a little soon...what are you most looking forward to this fall? cool weather, pumpkin spice everything (although I can't eat most of it this year), cool weather, did I mention cool weather? (I hate hot weather- esp when pregnant)

I don't go here quite yet (I'm so close!), but I think if the group wants to keep this check in going, maybe we should change the questions here or on the weekly checkin so they're not exactly the same. Thoughts?

I definitely agree with changing the questions!!!

Thanks for the offer to take over!  We normally post it on Thursdays but I think it could be posted at any time!

[frenchteachermama]

oldbaylover1024, tbonequeen13, thank you both for offering to take over the check-in,...although only a few of us post here regularly at the moment, the consensus is to keep it for now. Do you two want to share the responsibility? Or oldbaylover1024, would you rather tbonequeen13 take it over since you already run other check-ins?

I agree with renegadewhit, that maybe we should change up the questions so they aren't exactly the full CAR check-in.

Thoughts?

[oldbaylover1024]

tbonequeen13 - this check-in is all yours!

[frenchteachermama]

tbonequeen13, are you ok to start this week? I'm happy to do one more week if you want me to, otherwise the check-in is all you!

[tbonequeen13]

frenchteachermama, i don't mind to start this week. I'll keep it on Thurs so hopefully my preggo brain will remember to do it.
