1. This is the longest day ever. 2. My boss is super bit picky, I have one of the highest ranking stores in the district but he is always pulling out stuff to make better, I get it, I really do. But come on a little praise never hurt anyone either. 3. We settled on a girls name, we have not settled on a boys name. We need a middle name for the girl. 4. We plan a family reunion every two years for DWs side of the family. We just had one, but are already voting on locations for the next one. Everyone wants to stay in Iowa, I think that is incredibly unfair. We need to travel so the same people aren't always traveling. Also, they say it's hard with "kids", and maybe I don't get it, but by the next reunion they will all be 8-15. And financial are not a concern. 6. I hate my BIL, can't stand him. I used to think he was an okay human, but he sucks. 7. Tonight is $5 movie night, we will probably see Suicide Squad. 8. We went to dinner last night for our 8th anniversary, and it sucked. The dinner was awful. 9. I bought new conditioner, it smells amazing. 10. My college age sister really parties a lot, i thought it would taper off the further she got through school, but it hasn't. Hopefully after graduation
1. I am off tomorrow. I agreed to have my friend's son come over in the evening while she is working.
2. My kids are texting the other kids in their camp group. Last night between 8pm (when I made the kids plug in their ipods downstairs) and 7am when they looked there were 311 texts.
3. I read the texts and they are fine. Silly and 10y old stupid, but appropriate.
4. Not being at work yesterday, being out tomorrow, and then being out all next week hasn't inspired me to be productive today.
5. Tomorrow, we are on the great shoe hunt for sneakers. C is SOOOOO picky about sneakers. He would be a 'sneakerhead' if he could afford it.
6. L is on the road for work. I can't express how much she hates it. She gets home at midnight on Thursday.
7. We are doing a 'staycation' next week. Every year we do a "Camp Mom and Mommy" with activities and a theme (thanks to L's organizational development/talent management expertise this years theme is Leadership.)
8. Somehow as part of next week we have other people's kids spending the night with us 3 of the 6 nights. LOL. Evidently we are the place to hang out!
9. If I ever worried about other parents having issue with their kids being at our house/hanging out, I shouldn't have. I hope everyone has the same experience.
10. 3 hrs 10m till I can leave work. I promised G I'd stop at GameStop and pick up a game he pre-ordered so he can play tonight.

1. It's Thursday again? 2. Is slept horribly at my mom's. I think I'm still feeling the after-effects. I actually dreamed that I was feeding her coffee... in my dream I knew this was absurd but was still doing it. 3. I want coffee. 4. Is just had a 2.5 hour nap, she's starting to stir. If I knew it'd be 2.5 hours I'd have slept. 5. How can all these points be about sleep? 6. And coffee... time to get coffee.
2. Jill is in Portland for a few days so I need to keep myself busy.
3. I just ordered a new kitchen sink off amazon. We're really starting to get this house in good shape!
4. The bathrooms are next, that's not such a small project so it may be a few months.
5. Tomorrow is mom's surgery. Trying to stay as positive as possible!
6. New job is going well, though now that we're deep into a deal I'm definitely faking it until I make it. Lot's of learning to do!
7. Next month we have a week at the beach planned. As long as mom is feeling good it should be a really great week away from all the craziness of late.
8. The next project is watching our spending. More meals at home and less shopping.
9. I'm the shopper so I need to find another hobby.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
1. We had a really nice vacation! M found the pool refreshing but exhausting. One time after swimming she almost fell asleep sitting up. Very heavy blinks. It was adorable. Then once we picked her up, she instantly fell asleep.
2. I think we managed to not get too much sun while we were there. A couple days we reserved two ocean front cabanas and they were so nice and relaxing. M would sit in the middle and play then she would swim and take a nap. Quite the life.
3. I'm letting M sleep in this morning and we are missing our usual exercise class. I think after all this traveling it will be nice for her to catch up a bit. While we were gone she mostly only napped for short periods- 20-40 minutes where usually she will nap for at least 1.5-2hrs in the afternoon (usually it's a combination of in her bed and while nursing).
4. Hoping to go for a run later before it gets sunny. Kind of took a break from exercising while we were gone. Since being pregnant, I'm way more relaxed about exercising on vacation. I fit in 3 runs and felt fine about it.
5. My personal training certificate is expiring in two months. I need to finish my continuing education units and take a CPR class. Planning to take a women's fitness specialization and a hands on workshop. I should probably start the class today.
CETs
6. Getting back to work is always hard, but I have a reprieve this week since my boss is out of town still, so it hasn't been too bad.
7. We need to do yard work this weekend, everything is getting overgrown.
8. I'm looking forward to getting up to see the horses again this week. Our lessor isn't riding this week, so we'll get plenty of time.
9. I can't even with how up in the air the next few months are, work-wise. It's driving me crazy, but I'm not the one who can make the calls on how we should approach things. I want to dive in and get prepped, but I'm having to hold off in case things change.
10. I miss being with M all day. I got used to those 'grabby little hands' and gummy smiles being around all the time. She was such good company on all our travels. (So was CAR )
