2. We are going on week 3 of CET being gone during the work week. We miss Mama!
3. M is so smiley. It's adorable. You can't help but smile too.
4. I've gotten into the habit of having a bagel for breakfast. Talk about very little nutritional value. I need to go back to smoothies and Greek yogurt.
5. I walk so much with M and 95% of the time it's sunny, I need to find a good light daily face sunblock. A friend recommended Coola.
6. I've been able to have some time to get a little work done but I need to figure out how to fit a bit more in. I sound like a broken record. I do love spending so much time with my sidekick, M.
7. M is falling asleep while eating this morning. I did remind her it was her idea to wake up.
8. I keep thinking about starting a small personal training business that focuses on women's health but I think I'm too intimidated to try and I don't know where to start. I do have my personal training certificate so it's not totally random.
9. Dinners for the first part of this week will be simple- Buddha bowls. Roasted beets, sweet potatoes, spinach, pumpkin seeds, quinoa (maybe), and a tahini dressing. I added some field roast sausage last night.
10. I have this texture thing. I don't like wearing jeans if I'm going to get hot. I don't like how they feel.
CET & CAR - both 30, married Aug, 2013, together 12+ yrs.
TTC #1: CAR carrying IUI #1 & 2 - Clomid, trigger = BFN IUI #3 - Switched to Gonal 150iu. Overstim led to 'surprise' IVF. Retrieved 21, 14 mature, 13 fertilized, all 13 made it to day 5, 9 PGS normal. Transferred 1 AA hatched blast 5/1/15 Baby Girl M born 1-21-16
1. I love getting to spend more time with O with our new schedule.
2. We went to a different YMCA over the weekend and it was awesome. The pool was warm enough so everyone could stay in longer than 20 minutes and not be purple. O had such a blast.
3. We have decided that M will stay home once baby #2 comes at least for a year. I kind of did some things behind her back to make it happen and she is so happy about it. I think it's a lot for me to take on (essentially 3 jobs) but I think it will be worth it.
4. I'm ready for summer. I'm currently freezing in my house with a hoodie on my head. Brrrrr.
5. I really miss sleep and taking naps. I get by most of the time but once in awhile I have a moment where I realize how much more sleep I used to get, and I miss it.
6. We have company coming this weekend and we are running a 19K on Saturday. I'm looking forward to it. It helps that I finally got new running shoes!
7. I'm a little stressed about Mother's Day. It just is awkward with our moms and we really just want to be home with O. We are doing a 5K walk/run on Sunday morning with everyone so hopefully that is sufficient celebration.
8. cetcar, I don't know if you are a hat person but I try to wear a hat or visor when I am outside in the sun. Although I live in a very cloudy region so that might not be feasible if you have sun most of the time. (and if you do I am very jealous!)
9. M's BIL is in the hospital for the 2nd time in a month with alcohol withdrawal. The last time he nearly died and was in an induced coma for a few days. I feel really bad about the entire situation but feel like there is nothing to do to help.
kona - a hat would definitely help! I wear one when I run but I don't want to have hat head all the time. Maybe I'll look for some more stylish non sweaty hats to start.

1. I am excited for CrazyAunt. Such an exciting time!!
2. Last Friday, work was so hot. Yesterday, I just wore a long sleeved t and froze. Today I have on a sweater and am so hot (sadly what I have underneath isn't work appropriate.)
3. I was kinda hoping soccer practice was going to be cancelled today for rain (crazy storms overnight and rain all AM), but the sun has come out and it looks beautiful out there. I guess I'll spend a couple of hours at the field after work.
4. I bought the tickets for our summer vacation. Now we just need to plan when we are going to where so I can book a car/hotels/VRBO.
5. There are a LOT of screaming newborns outside my office. That does.not.make.me.want.a.newborn.
6. I have been less than productive today. But I have done some good vacation planning.
7. We asked our friends to take the kids for the night in a few weeks so we could have parents night out. we are going to see a show that their former teacher and drama teacher at school is in.
8. G is in the school play and L is helping out. She is loving being a drama mom. I wish I had more flexibility to help, but this week the tech rehearsals are 2:40-4:30. I would need to leave work by 1:40. No can do.
9. I am ready for warm weather, an ice cold beer, and sitting by the pool.
10. 1 more hour of work. I should make the most of it.
1. Thinking of crazyaunt84 - she hopefully has babies in her arms RIGHT.NOW!!!
2. Tomorrow is Lu's follow up appointment with the ortho at CHOP after 2 weeks in the harness. Fingers crossed for a good ultrasound of her hip!
3. Closing on our new house is 2 weeks from tomorrow. Oh.My.Word!
4. I feel like I am winning at Mother's Day this year. My sisters and I commissioned a friend of mine to paint a portrait of my mom with my brother. My mother is going to cry her eyes out. It is beautiful. .. For my MIL, we got tickets to spend the day with her (and our kiddos) at Longwood Gardens (a local horticultural display garden). She is going to be thrilled.... for J, I ordered her a photo book on Shutterfly that arrived today. It is awesome. It was a TON of work to make, but it came out great. I titled it "William and Lucie: The adventure begins" - it starts with our pregnancy announcement photo and goes up to Lucie's 3 month photos. I'm super excited about it.
5. J and I talked about TTC #3 over the weekend, and I think we decided to hold off until next Spring to even start TTC, so Lucie and #3 will be spaced out further than William and Lucie are. The decision is based largely on finances and just getting settled in our new house, etc. Of course we reserve the right to change our minds. Which we probably will.
6. One of our good friends is newly pregnant. I am super excited for her.
7. I am supposed to cook zucchini noodles tonight. I have zero motivation.
8. Work is still crazy busy. I am SO tired at the end of the day, and I am having a hard time digging deep for more energy when I get home. Such is life, but I feel like I hit a wall around 6pm and then I just feel like I'm not going to make it. I feel like more caffeine shouldn't be the option, but it often is.
9. Lucie laughed yesterday. Like belly laughed. It was awesome.
10. I can't believe William is going to be 2 years old a month from tomorrow. Totally surreal! Man, I love that kid...
1) I'm irritable for no good reason but I'm going to try and keep these positive
2) it's a beautiful day. C is putting rocks into her new sand containers we just bought at IKEA while we wait for my mom to get home.
3) we drove 2 hours to go to ikea today. It's amazing how exciting something like IKEA can sound when you don't have one near by.
4) we got some good stuff at IKEA for not a lot but I feel sort of let down. I guess retail therapy doesn't always work
5) I'm glad I finally got another dresser for the baby's room though. I feel like we should have her room together by now since I'm almost 35 weeks
6) we did finally get her crib assembled at least. Although I can't find the parts to the cosleeper I need to convert it to the higher position for little babies.
7) moving when you are somewhat disorganized at times is hard when you can't find anything!
8). C seems totally adjusted to the new house though.
4. I'm going to group workout tonight for the first time in months. I wasn't allowed to go while on the stims. I'm very much going to be feeling it tomorrow.
5. Our house looks pretty in the listing photos. I'm hoping for an offer the first few days on the market!
6. My BFF is coming over at 8 to drink wine and watch a movie. I'm going to miss her!
7. I went to target today and ended up buying 5 new shirts - retail therapy.
8. It was so warm today that I wore shorts. My legs are blindingly white. :/
9. I upgraded our phone usage so I've been rocking out to Pandora in the car for a few days now.
