Not really. I am in the TWW and will test some time this week.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
He is starting to say so many words!

I want to start the tradition of going to a pumpkin patch, so I think we'll go this weekend.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am worn out from working all weekend at the haunted house, but other wise I'm good...emotionally, I'm still a little shaky...kinda nervous about "going public" on Thurs. DD was crying in the car one day last week, and I asked why. She told me should couldn't be Doc because she didn't have a brother, and then she kept crying and asking why she didn't have a brother...that was tough and I don't feel like anyone else (DD or my Mom) understood how much that really bothered me.

How was your weekend? It was busy but good...Fri it rained all night while we were working, so that stunk, but we had huge crowds Sat which is what we love to see

Anything new to share? Another lab draw this morning..hopefully the 2nd to last, but she keeps changing between 5 months and 6, so we'll see...

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She's just growing so much every day and it's funny to see how much she changes in just the 2 days she's with my in-laws (they kept her this weekend)

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
Any plans to bring your LO to a pumpkin patch this year? Any other fun Fall traditions? Probably not to the pumpkin patch..she's going to one they're making at Mother's Day Out and she insisted on buying this tiny pumpkin she saw at the grocery store yesterday, so she already has 1 and will end with with a 2nd by the time it's all said and done. We are going to the mountains on Sunday if the weather's nice to drive the motortrail and see the leaves, and we've already taken her to Boo at the Zoo, so that's probably the extend of our fall traditions until she gets a little older.

tbonequeen13 I bet the haunted house was fun! I'm so sorry to hear that what your DD said upset you. I think that is one of the hardest things about having a loss/es when you have a LC. I would have been really upset to hear that too from my LO. ((Hugs))

[cbowl]

FX for you babyzebra ! tbonequeen13 hope you get good results at the blood draw!

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? It's been a tough week. I'm feeling okay physically...I'm confused a bit because I'm still having pregnancy symptoms despite being 2 weeks out from my d&c. I will be seeing my doctor next week so hopefully I can get some answers. Has this happened to anyone else?

How was your weekend? My weekend was good and low-key. My LO is super into decorating for Halloween so we did a fair amount of that!

Anything new to share? Nope not really.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She's just so silly lately...makes me laugh all the time.

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
Any plans to bring your LO to a pumpkin patch this year? Any other fun Fall traditions? Yes hoping to get to a pumpkin patch in the next few weeks!

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing good all around. I feel less anxious about TTC. I don't know why I was so anxious last month.
How was your weekend? It was a good weekend. I got to do some shopping for myself and spent a little too much but got some cute clothes.
Anything new to share? Nope
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? We spent lots of time outdoors. I love seeing him so happy playing in the dirt and leaves. He is a little nature lover.

DS turns two on Friday so we are taking him to a pumpkin patch on Thursday. They have a petting farm and he loves animals so I'm excited!

[cassey910]

babyzebra good luck!!
tbonequeen13 so sorry that had to be very tough and emotional. Hugs
cbowl I had symptoms weeks after I took cytotec from my MMC. It's because the hcg is still high and my hcg took 6 weeks to get to 0. Hugs.

[babyzebra]

cbowl I'm sorry you're still having pregnancy symptoms. I had a ton of nausea and vomiting for about a month after my first natural MC. It sucks and it's not fair. Hopefully it clears up for you soon.

cassey910 I'm glad you feel less anxious about TTC. Have fun at the pumpkin patch and animal farm!

[tbonequeen13]

babyzebra, fingers crossed for you
cbowl, after my D&C it took over 6 weeks for my HCG level to go to 0 so that's probably why you're still having symptoms
cassey910, I'm glad you're less anxious..I hope to reach that point one day (not that it matters until Dec..we're benched till then whether we like it or not)

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically I am doing okay. I have had some back/leg pains, but I have a history of back problems so I am attributing it to that. Emotionally- I am stressed. Work is crazy, I am still adjusting to my husband's new work schedule, we are TTC again so there are all of the emotions of that, too. I am currently writing this at 5:00 am, because of insomnia.

How was your weekend? My weekend was good. Saturday we went to the apple orchard with my parents and sister and brother in law. Sunday, I did nursery at church and then we hung out at home. We did go to town to get dinner at night, so it was a low key Sunday.

Anything new to share? I am in the TWW, but I've been spotting for several days, so who knows what is really happening...spotting has been a new/regular thing for me since my loss. Usually it happens 1 to 2 days before my period, but this cycle it has been much earlier than that unless I am going to have a super early period.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? When I said, "I love you" to him when dropping him off at the babysitters one day last week he said, "love you" back. That was the first time he did that.

Bonus GTKY so we can think happy thoughts:
Any plans to bring your LO to a pumpkin patch this year? Any other fun Fall traditions? We did go to the orchard last weekend, but we didn't go to the pumpkin patch that it there. We are actually going to the same orchard again tonight with Big Brothers Big Sisters (I am on one of their committees in the county I live in). This time the visit is free though and I think we get a small gourd as part of the package.

[woodenshoes]

babyzebra, good luck

tbonequeen13,I'm sorry you are struggling with emotions. I would love to take DS to a Boo at the Zoo sometime.

cbowl, I hope this week is going better than last week.

cassey910,Happy almost Birthday to your little one. My DS loves the dirt and nature too.

[babyzebra]

woodenshoes I'm sorry things are so crazy right now. Hopefully they calm down soon. That's so awesome that your DS said "love you!" I think I might just melt when that happens for me!

[ellebelle]

Hugs to everyone who needs them!

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm okay. Just putting one foot in front of the other. We had our WTF appt. with the RE last week and we decided to try a natural FET. So I'm doing OPKs and will go in for ultrasound when I detect a surge. They'll verify with ultrasound and blood work and then FET will be scheduled for 5 days later. I am enjoying not being on any meds but it is weird to just be using OPKs for IVF!

How was your weekend? Weekend was good, too short as always!

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? We had a couple friends over to our house for TWD on Sunday and DD told them that they should "feel free to come over any time it's a holiday. I'll be here and we can play." Her heart is so big. It's beautiful!

Any plans to bring your LO to a pumpkin patch this year? Any other fun Fall traditions? I think we're going to go with my brother and his girlfriend this weekend but it's not usually a tradition for us. We need to start more traditions but who has time for that?

[babyzebra]

ellebelle that must be a nice break to not be on meds anymore. I wish you the best of luck! That is so cute what your DD said!
