How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically doing fine, emotionally I had a hard weekend..got blindsided by another pregnancy announcement..at least it was via text instead of in person, so I didn't have to hide my reaction. That's one of the reasons I think I want to "out" myself on Oct 15 but every time I think I about doing it I get super emotional so not sure how that's going to go considering it's a work day and all my coworkers can see me

How was your weekend? It was pretty busy and very rainy, but not too bad

Anything new to share? Nope

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? just hearing her speak..she is getting so clear in her speech and forming sentences like crazy

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
Any idea what your kiddo is going to be for Halloween? Will you dress up too? If so, as what? As of right now, she's going to be "Sah-punzel" (Rapunzel) but she keeps changing her mind so we'll see. We won't really get to take her trick-or-treating because we'll work at the haunted farm on Halloween, so we're taking her to Boo at the Zoo Thurs and Trunk or Treat at our church at the end of Oct. I won't dress up as anything because I spend my weekends in costume and can't really think of anything that wouldn't scare kids.

tbonequeen13 sorry to hear that you got blindsided by another pregnancy announcement. I'm still considering if I want to "out" myself on the 15th as well. Have fun at the haunted farm and at Boo at the Zoo!

[babyzebra]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?
I'm doing fine. I just passed the EDD of my first loss, so that sucks. But overall, I'm actually doing alright.

How was your weekend?
It was good. DH and I went out for a date on Saturday while my sister watched DS, so that was fun.

Anything new to share?
Not really. I'm TTC, but won't temp because it stresses me out. I think I am in the TWW now.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
I'm so happy that he's starting to love to dance. I feel like I've been trying to have dance parties with him since he was a baby, and he's finally giving in and dancing with me!

DH and I decided that DS will be a yet-to-be-determined character from Star Wars since this is that last year that we will get to pick out his costume. I'm definitely not dressing up!

it's a hard decision...on the one hand, i'm a really private person and there's nothing that makes me feel as uncomfortable as people feeling sorry for me....but on the other hand, I have nothing to be ashamed of and I feel like I hide a part of me by not telling anyone. Also, maybe it will stop people from asking the dreaded "are you guy going to have more kids?"...

[eaglewife]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?

Physically getting my strength back. Remembering to take iron and multivitamins helps. Emotionally I go from numb to broken and back again.

How was your weekend?

It was a nice weekend of the three of us. Errands and chill time with some chores mixed in.

Anything new to share?

Trying to get back to a workout routine. Tomorrow is 2 weeks since the miscarriage started and somehow it feels like it was just yesterday.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?

I'm pretty excited to have found a mac n cheese that she likes. She's a delight daily, though.

She finally settled on a Bee! Costume ordered Maybe I'll be a flower or throw on a Pooh bear shirt or something.

[woodenshoes]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing well both emotionally and physically.

How was your weekend? My weekend was pretty boring. We did go out for pizza on Saturday, which was fun.

Anything new to share? My husband's work shift for the month of October is 7 p.m. to 3:30 a.m. It is has been a bit of an adjustment and is tiring for all of us.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Hearing him laugh when we watch silly dog videos on Youtube. I love hearing him laugh.

Any idea what your kiddo is going to be for Halloween? Will you dress up too? If so, as what? We didn't dress little one up for Halloween last year and I am not sure if we are this year either. We live in the country and do not get trick or treaters. We may go to my parents house on Halloween and if we do I will figure out something to dress him up as and take him trick or treating to a few of the neighbor's houses. DH and I are supposed to dress up for a Halloween party this weekend. I have no idea what I will dress up as.

[babyzebra]

unringthebell good luck with your ultrasound. That's awesome that your DS was so brave!

eaglewife I'm so sorry that you're having to go through this ((hugs)). I bet your DD's bee costume will be adorable!

woodenshoes I'm glad you're doing well. MH works nights too so I can commiserate on the tiring front. I agree that hearing your LO laugh is the best!

[cbowl]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm not doing well at all. I think I was numb after my miscarriage last week...it has all hit me this week and I'm just depressed. I don't know how I will make it through October with my EDD at the end of the month. I just feel sad in my bones.

How was your weekend? My weekend was mixed...I had a ton of stuff going on Saturday so I was busy....but Sunday was hard.

Anything new to share? No, just waiting on the results from the d&c last week...if all is normal with the baby then I'm going to be more aggressive in getting in to see a RE with recurrent loss expertise

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? My little is just so funny lately...and she now says Love you....which is the best

[cassey910]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am ok, I was a little sad this weekend from the BFN I got and then AF showed up right after and early at that.
How was your weekend? Busy, DH' work had a family day so we went to that. Sunday we had church and one of my best friends got married.
Anything new to share? Just a BFN on Sunday followed by AF.
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? It was very rainy so we spent lots of time indoors. One day we watched one of his favorite shows and he sat in my lap and held my hand the whole time. He would look to make sure I was watching and smile.

[feisty]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Hi everyone, think I missed last week checkin. With DH out of the country and I had a cold (still sick actually). Well still not feeling well and because I wasn't feeling well havent' been working out. I may try a light workout at the gym today after work, depending on how I feel. emotionally been sad lately. Just seeing lots of babies/siblings around.

How was your weekend? Blah, DH is back but was dealing with jet lag and I was sick, so not much fun

Anything new to share? Aunt flo just started again, so guess its good for my body to get back in schedule (first one since MC). I have an ultrasound scheduled Thursday to see if polyp/blood clot still there, but thinking maybe I'll move it back until period is over with?

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Lots of ups/downs this week, but he gets in really sweet moods with spontaneous hugs and I love yous. He's been super lovey to DH, I think since he was gone for a while, its sweet to see.

No idea yet. I may take him to the costume store next weekend.
