1) I'm generally in a good mood but feel like crying for no reason.
2) I'm sick of taking hormone pills
3) it's a dark rainy day today. I'm hoping that means C will take extra long naps.
4). I'm getting impatient with our IVF schedule. We won't know if ER is Thursday or Friday until later today.
5) I met another lesbian SAHM yesterday at the library. A friend of mine was actually telling me about her. They are friends and their wives are friends. So I introduced myself.
6) it's nice to know other SAHM. I feel like I have a lot of mom friends that work but only a handful of SAHMs
7) I really want to buy some new clothes but feel like it will be a waste of money if I get pregnant soon.
8) knowing my luck if I wait to buy clothes I will not get pregnant. So maybe I should just buy some clothes.
9). I'm wondering if we should get genetic testing of any embryos we will freeze.

1. I have a migraine and in the last 4 days, 3 of them have been migraine filled, ugh. 2. Second sonogram today to see baby and I am super excited. 3. We are thinking about purchasing a fetal Doppler so that my paranoia is laid to rest. 4. Is it wrong of me to not want an in law to meet up with us while we are on our last vacation together before the baby? 5. Finally have our attorney for my wife's disability. 6. we have a lot to get done before our home study for our second parent adoption. 7. This pregnancy has not been as hard as I thought it would be, the migraines just suck. 8. I wonder what I should make for dinner tonight, oh wait it's taco Tuesday! 9. I will never understand how I was made out of a family of Criminals. 10. I can't stand rude people.

1. I'm having one of those grumpy days where I wish I knew what my career path was. I'm working now but know it's not what I want to do forever, don't feel appreciated, and it's in a different field than my grad degree. I'm also a certified personal trainer and have dreams of having my own personal training business but don't really know where to start. Anyone want some online training? joking, only kind of
2. I went for a walk earlier this morning and it greatly improved my mood, even if it was just temporary.
3. It's supposed to rain here this afternoon but it's sunny now. Have to remember to bring in the cushions for the outdoor furniture. We really need the rain, it's been weeks since we got any. Our horses love it when it rains since grass pops up almost immediately.
4. We hosted Easter for my sister, brother in law, and niece. My parents sent up a big box of Easter candy to share. I sent a lot of it in with CET to work today because I know if it's around the house I'll eat way too much of it. That's what happened yesterday. It's early but today has been much better.
5. I love trail mix. All kinds. Doesn't even have to have chocolate.
Passing it over to CET
6. It was 51 degrees when I was driving to work. It's sad, but I now consider that 'cold.'
7. I really, really need to get back in shape better or I'm going to need new work clothes.
8. The easter candy that's now in my desk will not help with #7.
9. If this cycle doesn't work for us, I both want to try again and want a break. It's addicting, stressful, and depressing all in one.
10. Even when I'm stressed, I'm still so grateful for our life- our friends and each other.
CET & CAR - both 30, married Aug, 2013, together 12+ yrs.

3. I am also starving. Salad with shrimp for dinner tonight. Dinner cannot come soon enough!
4. We are repainting our kitchen, pantry and laundry room this weekend. Because we are gluttons for punishment. Really, there cannot possibly be any other reason.
5. I am currently hunting for a really good deal on a storage shed for our yard. Who knew sheds were so expensive? I refuse to pay thousands for a place to keep outdoor furniture and tools... hoping I find a good deal soon.
6. We are moving ahead with plans for William's bday party. I am feeling good about it, and I am really hoping that it is an awesome day. My mom and my sisters booked their flights yesterday to come for his party. I was really glad to hear that. Pre-William there would have been a million excuses why they couldn't come, but they would do pretty much anything for this kid, which makes me feel good.
7. I am down another pant size! I haven't weighed myself in 2 months, and I honestly don't want to know what I weigh at this point, but I know that I have continued to make slow and steady progress based on my clothes getting too big. I bought a pair of jeans and a pair of black dress pants over the weekend and they are both a size down from what I have been wearing since January.
8. It's kind of surreal to be TTC again. It's definitely different this time, but still exciting and scary. So there's that.
9. It has been a rainy, gloomy day here. I think that is not helping my mood any. Plus the Lupron. Have I mentioned I don't like Lupron?
10. There are peeps that I used to chat with and interact with regularly on the interwebs who I pretty much have no contact with now. It makes me super sad. I thought they would be a part of my TTC#2 journey, and that I would be a part of their respective lives/journeys as well. Alas, crap happens. But it definitely makes me sad.
1. I'm seriously considering quitting my 2nd job. I'm thinking the end of the year, it's just too much.
2. One of my coworkers will not stop interrupting me at work. I don't know how to tell her that I am busy!
3. Olivia is exhausting she will not nap or sleep independently.
4. I'm very grateful for some spring weather finally.
5. I'm hoping the women's bball championship game won't be a blow out tonight.
6. I really shouldn't stay up and watch the game.
7. My healthy eating is going well. I feel better, now if I could just get some sleep.
8. We have friends moving to Boston. Sometimes I really miss living there and then I remember the traffic...
9. I really thought family would be more helpful with Olivia. We are both exhausted and no one is really interested in helping since she's 8 months old now. And we feel bad leaving her with anyone because she's' such an awful sleeper.
1. I only have 2 IEP meetings left in this school year. Thursday and Monday, and then getting all the paperwork wrapped up, copied and sent to the right people. Yay! 2. I have been tracking and walking and making better food choices, and I was up again this week. I'm almost back to the weight I was 3 weeks ago when I started. Very discouraging. Must not give up! 3. Sweetie is watching the women's Final Four finals game. She's a big UConn fan. Her parents are actually at the game. She comes from a long line of UConn fans. 4. I hate conflict. Now she's cursing at the game a little bit. Might have to go hide in the other room until the game is over. 10 more minutes. 5. Okay. I took a shower and UConn won. Causation not correlation, right? 6. We've started watching X-Files from the beginning and it's fun and campy. 7. I'm super anxious about the Avengers 2, because I read somewhere that a plausible way to get to the civil war plot-line would be to kill off Pepper Potts, but I'm not okay with that. So I'm worried. 8. The episode of X Files we are watching is a little creepy, in a 1993 way. I don't like that it actually feels upsetting to me, because it's so campy... But I'm all creeped out. 9. PSA for teachers, parents, paras and students that I work with: "Fair" is not likely to get me to do anything but get really cranky. Don't talk to me about fair. If you can talk to me about fair, because you can talk, and understand complex concepts like equity and justice, odds are: the universe has already been "fair" to you. It's not my job to ensure extra doses of "fair" for you. Its my job to help people dealing with massively "unfair" circumstances learn to cope with the cards they've been dealt. I'm busy. 10. Blargh. I'm tired now. Maybe bed?
1.Its Billie Holiday's 100th birthday. I love her music, but Ive been hearing Strange Fruit all over the place on the radio today... and its just not a "casual/easy listening" song.
2. Ive been watching "the Fall" on Netflix, and I dont even really like it but cant stop watching it.
3. My Mom is taking DS to school tomorrow so I can just go home and sleep, so Im psyched!
4. It was a dragon themed Easter. DS loves the dragons from How to Tame series... and loves to point out the various classes and types of dragons.
5. I left a few childhood books out... and it rained. I dried them off best I could but Im wondering how they will fare over night... I might try drying them out in the oven on low tomorrow.
6. We waste so much food around here. Im really annoyed by it, but cant seem to do much better
7. Just tonight and 2 more nights until vacation. We arent going anywhere, but its about all I can think of.
8. I need some coffee. ASAP
9. I have always coveted glasses. Until I needed them. There are readers scattered all over my life, but I can never find a pair when I need them
10. Still sorta "sad" that the Badgers didnt manage to take it all last night... Great run, but didnt pull it off. I dont really follow bb, but I do love March Madness. Especially at work, where there are Many sports fans, and a lack of neutral topics, that provide friendly ribbing.

Totally agree. I have this up in my office to serve as a reminder...
