I'm about to drop $75 on a nearly year's worth of prenatals. Yikes.
But, H did find out today that his bonus comes through tomorrow and rumor has it that it's bigger than last year's (bonuses there are a percentage of company profits, not individualized). So, that makes me feel a bit better.
My freaking cat is going to be the end of me. She gets wet food in the morning, so she's started screaming for it...the problem is, her internal clock is set for 5am...but I get up at 6. She's incessant, so I have to get up and feed her or listen to her scream for an hour. I want to move her litter box and "home" somewhere else in the house, but we need to clean out a good spot...hopefully far, far away from my bedroom.

IVF #2: zero eggs retrieved IVF #3: 6R, 5M, 5F, 3 (2 8A and 1 11A) transferred, one "B" graded embryo frozen on day 5. BFP (at home 7dp3dt, confirmed 14dp3dt with 1552 beta) and U/S at 5w5d, 2 sacs and 2 yolks!

My H's came through today, but his is smaller this year. Womp, womp. I do love getting that check every year though. We never put it into the budget so it's like an extra treat!

We don't budget for it either. Last year's was nearly equal to one paycheck, so it's not a giant amount but is noticeable. We put it against the mortgage last year and this year it's going straight into the "WildFlower needs a minivan" fund.
MH told his boss about the babies yesterday and his boss told him that there was a raise coming and they've been deciding on a succession plan for MH to take over the business. We've heard this all before, so it's hard to know what to do...on the one hand, that outcome would be amazing and would change our lives forever. On the other hand, his boss won't discuss in detail and so it's hard to know if he's blowing smoke, at which point it's time for MH to leave. I wish there was transparency (and that MH would just push him to give details, set out the plan...he's kind of a...wuss...when it comes to that stuff and it drives me crazy)!!

My prenatals are $40 for a 150 count. So I think you're doing ok. And my DHA 60 count is like $22.

wannabmama, we free-feed our cats because when we tried to just feed them in the morning and evening, they started getting obnoxious at 5:30am every morning. They get a little bit of wet food in the evening after 5 but when I'm home, one of them starts staring me down and crying at me at 3:30. The vet wants us to not free-feed them because 2 of the 3 are fat but when we rationed their food they didn't lose a damn bit of weight so we were suffering through early-morning antics for nothing. Besides, my fat ones are 12 years old so if food makes the old girls happy then so be it.

We don't get to do anything super fun with it this year, either. Last year it paid off our wedding, and this year it's paying down a personal loan. It will literally be in the bank for less than 24 hours. H is pouty because before we got married he used it for fun things like buying a new motorcycle or re-doing his race car. Sorry buddy, welcome to adulthood...not my fault it took you 32 years to get here.
Clearly pregnancy brain is on my side today, because I accidentally ordered Girl Scout cookies from two different people. I now have 6 boxes of Thin Mints sitting on my desk...

The delivery company gave me a delivery window of 11:30-1:30 today for the nursery furniture. I just got a call at 9:50 that they'll be there in 30 minutes. I'm so glad my parents are flexible and only 15 minutes from my house because I would be screwed if they weren't since I'm at work. But, yay baby furniture when I get home!

My girl gets free fed dry food, she's always had it that way and she's teeny tiny. It's the wet food she wants and I can't give her enough of that to make her happy, it seems. I added it in right before bed, too, thinking maybe since she's ancient (she's somewhere around 15ish) the dry food was hard on her teeth or something (she eats it though) and thought maybe it would buy me time in the am. But it backfired! Now she screams at night and in the morning!!

I went a litttttle crazy last year getting some, and I still have 2.5 boxes in my freezer. We won't discuss how many I bought to start. H loves to make fun of me over it, but I freaking love those things. My mom gave me some of the s'mores cookies and those are delicious too.

Hi guys!!! I've been so MIA. I know I said it before, but now that our work internet filter blocks TCF I really just cannot get on here. It is frowned upon to be on our phones at work, I'm crazy busy with DS from the time I get home until bedtime, then I crash and go to sleep! I'm out on a job site today where I sit at a computer so I can play for a little bit!
Yesterday was my GTT, I should know by Monday if anything looks awry. I felt pretty crappy afterward so H took the day out to take care of me. It was a nice day, other than the nausea/dizziness (and the random tornado warning).
Work is getting better, but still crazy, so I'm really excited that tomorrow is Friday. A food cart that we love is opening for the season at a local winery, so I think we're going to go there Saturday. I'll bring some grape juice or something ha.

TMI: I'm at my appt and have been having bad diarrhea this morning. Joy. I'm pretty bad dehydrated because I could barely leave a urine sample and I usually have no problem with that.
