How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?
I've had a cold since Tuesday so I've been feeling meh all week. Emotionally I'm better than last week but I fought myself over the weekend for focusing on the deadlines that I keep setting for myself. I need to stop doing that...

How was your weekend?
It was gloriously lazy. I didn't leave the house and just played legos and army guys with G all weekend, finished a book, read another whole book (it was a super quick read) and watched football. It was wonderful!

Anything new to share?
Not a whole lot. I'm planning to test tomorrow so we'll see how that goes. Otherwise, nothing new to report.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
Our bedroom opens up into G's bedroom (kind of a 2nd floor loft set-up) so last night, I laid in bed listening to him reading to his stuffed animals and practicing his alphabet. It was adorable and hilarious.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
This past summer G was with me while we were shopping for birthday party supplies. While we were waiting in the checkout line at Party City, an overweight man joined the line right behind us and G kept talking about how "that guy is bigger! him's really bigger!" and I couldn't get him to focus on anything else. I felt terrible for the guy and the poor checkout girl was trying to help me distract G by asking about his birthday party but nothing worked. I couldn't get out of there fast enough and we had a good talk in the car about not talking about people's bodies and how they look and he was really upset when he realized that he probably hurt the guy's feelings. But holy crap it was embarrassing and one of the more difficult public parenting moments I've had.

[soultrane]

unringthebell, thank you! Good luck on Thursday and yay for another step toward progress. I'm jealous of his 3.5 hour nap too - that sounds amazing right now!

[babyzebra]

soultrane I hope you can get rid of that cold soon! Good luck with the testing tomorrow!

unringthebell I love those long naps! Good luck moving forward to CD1!

[babyzebra]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?
I'm doing totally fine, but this past week has been crazy! I brought DS to the ER, urgent care, and to his pediatrician twice in the past week (he's totally fine now) and then I had to go to urgent care once for myself (I'm also fine now). I just want everyone to be not sick for one week!

How was your weekend?
It was really busy. I knew we planned too many things, but I felt bad canceling any of them. We had fun visiting with family and friends, but now I'm tired.

Anything new to share?
We are TTC this cycle. I'm kind of nervous, but I feel like we'll be waiting forever to feel 100% ready, and I'm not sure it would ever happen.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
I got him some new puzzles that he loves to play with.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
I need to think about this one. I have a lot of embarrassing moments from when I was younger, but I just don't get embarrassed much in my old age haha. I will think about this more.

[tbonequeen13]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing ok...things are about to get super busy for us for the next few months, but I think that will be good because I won't have time to focus on much else

How was your weekend? It was good...it'll be the last one we have free until Nov or later, so we tried to take it easy and spend lots of time with DD

Anything new to share? No, not really

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She loves to sing and it's so cute watching her sing all the songs she knows pretty much whenever the mood strikes

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
What was your most embarrassing moment?
This was a little embarrassing but hilarious...DD went through a phase about 6 months ago when she would just randomly say "everybody has nipples" and because we couldn't help but laugh when she said it, she'd do it a lot. She told the waitress at Red Lobster that one night, but luckily I don't think the lady understood what she said. We were slightly embarrassed but also had to choke down laughter until the lady walked away.

soultrane good luck and hope you are feeling better.
unringthebell good luck on Thursday and a 3.5 is amazing.
babyzebra sounds like you had a very crazy week. Glad you both are all better.
@tbinequeen13 I bet your DD sounded so cute I can't wait to here my DS sing.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing pretty good. Trying not to be anxious while in the TWW.

How was your weekend? It was fun we had a relaxing day on Saturday and Sunday we watched our 15 month old nephew for 9 hours. It was a lot of fun!

Anything new to share? Just in the TWW I am 5DPO so I should know something this time next week.

What was the best moment with your LO(s) this week? He has been giving me lots of kisses and I can't get enough. It's so sweet. I know it will not last forever so I cherish each one.

What was your most embarrassing moment?
When I was in 5th grade I was the name taker one day. So if someone talked I had to write their name down. Well the guy I liked was talking so I wrote his name down. He kept coming up front and erasing it. Well it made me laugh and I guess pretty hard because I started passing gas very loudly and it wouldn't stop. It was horrible. The whole class heard and made fun of me the rest of the year.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm good, just overwhelmed with work and trying to get stuff done around the house in order to list it.

How was your weekend? The weekend was interesting since the Pope was in town and everything was shut down. We really just stayed home and did things around the house. I wanted to get some work done too in order to start this week off right but DD doesn't nap anymore and the progesterone shots make me exhausted so I didn't do anything.

Anything new to share? Today I'm 6dp5dt and just anxiously waiting for my blood draw on Friday to see if this FET worked or not.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? DD is a horrible sleeper so we made a sleeping sticker/reward chart and (not to jinx it) I think it might be working! She stayed in her bed all night last night and didn't need me next to her to fall asleep! That's HUGE for us.

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
What was your most embarrassing moment? I honestly can't remember. I think I've blocked those memories out.

Hi everyone. Hoping to sneak back in here. I got a BFP in August...and just found out that the baby's heart stopped beating yesterday during an ultrasound (the baby measured 7w5d but I should have been 9 weeks).

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Not very well. I feel like I'm better than I was in May after losing the baby at 18 weeks. But I just was hoping that this baby would make it. really think something is a problem and I want to pursue recurrent loss testing (I had a 3rd miscarriage before my LO). My doctor is adamant that it's just 3 cases of bad luck.

How was your weekend? The weekend was okay...I had some bleeding on Saturday so I was pretty anxious

Anything new to share? Mentioned above...heading into a D&C on Wednesday.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
LO has been really snuggly lately so that's been much needed and awesome.

cbowl, so sorry for your loss.
ellebelle, i hope Friday comes quickly for you

[ellebelle]

cbowl - so sorry for your loss. I second unringthebell's suggestion. It could be just bad luck but honestly I would trust your gut. I hope you can get some answers. (hugs)

[babyzebra]

cbowl I'm really sorry to hear about your loss ((hugs))

[babyzebra]

ellebelle good luck on Friday!

Thanks everyone. I guess I'm not sure how to approach this whole thing especially if my ob/gyn does not want to refer me to a specialist. I needed fertility help through a RE to get pregnant with my LO but got pregnant twice without help after her. I lost both of those babies....and I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy. I just feel like something is amiss.
