1. Ireland was AMAZING! Ugh, it always sucks to come back to reality after a dream vacation.
2. I miss having a breakfast buffet prepared for me every morning. Also, the UK is super gluten free conscience and it was so easy to eat almost everything I love.
3. The weather was mostly sunny, with a little rain, thankfully!
4. Next week is our Anatomy Scan and I can't wait to see little girl again, it's been 6 weeks.
5. I will not be watching #45's speech tonight, I just can't.
6. Puppy is getting big and having fewer accidents, he's such a love. I'll upload a pic later.
7. I didn't watch the Oscars bc I was finishing a book I started on the plane, and I regret not tuning in for the end. What craziness.
8. We need to register soon and that means time to figure out all the shit we want.
Me: 31 Wife: 30. Legally married 2008, thanks CA! TTC #1 since 11/14 using donor sperm. IUIs Jan-Aug 2015 BFN Sept & OCT 2015 added Femara. BFN Saw RE December 2015. IUI with Clomid & Trigger Jan 2016 BFN IUI #13 with Follistim April 2016 BFFN IVF #1 July 2016. 14R, 10F, 6 Day 5 embryos. 4 PGS normal embabies!
1. Woke up this morning with excruciating abdominal pain. Literally checked Siri for how much and ambulance would cost to take me to the hospital while L was taking the kids to school. I have a really high pain tolerance and this had me writhing on the floor.
2. I finally took 600 mg of Motrin and it went away. I still went to urgent care, but they have no idea what it was.
3. Because of this, I have spent the entire day in bed. I have generally felt OK, but tired and meh.
4. I am feeling a little guilty. Our neighbors texted and asked if we could keep their kids on Saturday night while they go out. We have had other people's kids spend the night for the last two weekends and I need a weekend free of extra kids.
5. The same family texted and was hinting at either us taking or sharing childcare on Friday when the kids don't have school. I really didn't want to. I feel badly because the wife has been away for work for over a week and the husband has been doing childcare on his own. I really don't want to have two extra kids for the entire day. I have stuff I want to do without dragging around extra kids.
6. On one hand I feel like I should watch Trump speech tonight. On the other hand I would rather poke my eyeballs out with fiery sticks.
7. I am hungry but nothing sounds good.
8. I had the kids in bed an hour before they need to go to sleep. It's a good thing they like to read!
9. I bought cookie butter on a whim at Trader Joe's this weekend. I should not have done that! Yum!
It's Wednesday but I haven't played in a while so here goes!
1. JustJudy so glad you had a great trip! Def love the puppy pics!! And gl with the anatomy scan! It's crazy how time is flying!
2. 2brides I hope you're feeling better! It's so scary when something feels so abnormal with our bodies.
3. We've had contractors here since Monday and I just gave Friday as the hard deadline they have to be done by. They always drag things out longer than they estimate. So frustrating! On the bright side this small storage space off our bedroom is going to be awesome! (Previously it was gross, had exposed insulation, probably animals living in it, etc.)
4. Fixing up this storage space is getting us one step closer to clearing out the room that will be the nursery! We have movers coming on Saturday to move a bunch of furniture around too!
5. I have an exam on Friday that I'm really not looking forward to. I'm so not in a school mindset right now lol. It's taking everything in my power to find the motivation for school work.
6. I have the chiropractor today (3 times a week now) and I definitely feel it helping! Sitting is still super uncomfortable in any chair but I feel like that's not going to go away any time soon.
7. Our shower is in 2.5 weeks!! I'm getting excited but also nervous about how much we might be left having to buy off our registry. Having a baby is not cheap!!
8. I really want to go back to bed but have stuff to do...
9. I signed up for this weekend mother blessing yoga retreat 3 weeks before my due date. I'm really excited about it but also feel a little guilty about spending the money on it. It will also be interesting to see how I survive sleeping in a bunk bed (bottom of course).
10. We started our hypnobirthing classes and it's definitely the right labor prep for me. I just have to remember to do the homework!
Me: 32, Wife: 38, Together for 5 years, Married for 2 years IUI #1 (8/2016): Letrozole, Ovidrel, Crinone = BFN IUI #2 (9/2016): Letrozole, Ovidrel, Endometrin = BFP!! EDD 5/26/17
1. We're so relieved M is on the mend! I think we both are pretty tired after last week. We felt pretty good in the moment but now it's setting in. We basically only slept a a couple hours every night all week.
2. M and I are supposed to fly to MA on Thursday for my Mom's birthday. I'm trying to decide if I still want to go or if I want to see about changing my ticket.
3. CET and I caught M's cold.
4. I got a pair of Superga sneakers for Christmas and I love them. They are perfect for going out with M. I wear them almost every day and it's been a long time since I wore sneakers regularly. I'm ordering my Mom a pair for her birthday. I'm thinking of going to Lucky or Anthropologie and seeing if they have a shirt on sale to go with them.
5. Since Trump was inaugurated, I've been trying to listen to the Rachel Maddow podcast. Some of her episodes have been really interesting. She'll make interesting connections. Anyone else not like how she looks on air? Her hair and make up always annoys me..... I think she looks better in the few pictures I've seen of her not on air. Sorry that was so vain...
CETs
6. I definitely have M's cold. I need some dayquill....like now.
7. It's my fault again this is getting posted late. I'll own it, had a busy day at work yesterday.
8. Plans for next week keep changing. I either have a work trip to Atlanta, or Indiana...or neither. I'll know tomorrow.
9. My trip weekend before last was awesome. Now that M's better, I can take time to go over it and write it up. 6 of 6 flights were on time, 4 in business class & it ended up being a really fun group of people I met up with. Had Dim Sum in Hong Kong, hung out by the pool in Kuala Lumpur, mimosas in Doha, and landed safe back at LAX 30 mins early.
10. And finally...I um... actually kinda like Maddow's look on her show....

cetcar I kinda like Rachel Maddow's look and I enjoy her when I watch but don't watch as much as I should. I'm sure I'd enjoy her podcasts too! Also I'm super curious about CET's weekend world trip! How does it work? What was it for? Etc. Sounds awesome but also exhausting.

JustJudy,... Ireland is my fav place. I went for the first time in 1998 and went back regularly for years. Lived there for awhile in 2006. I took my wife there in 2012 and she fell in love. I keep looking at buying a house over there to retire to... someday........
