So many random thoughts for this lady today.
First of all, I'm still in bed. #Amazing
It's my birthday, also amazing.
Our TTC extravaganza started on this day last year, so it's pretty exciting to look back over what the past year has look like and at where we are now.
Also, I'm lying in bed and haven't gotten out yet but I'm seriously considering walking myself to McDonald's and getting a hotcakes happy meal. I feel like because it has the word cake in it it's pretty much essential for my birthday.
My randoms this morning... * We did our big pre-pope grocery shop yesterday, and we are now ready to be Poped In! * William woke up at 5am today and was just chatting away with himself in his crib. He went back to sleep about 30 mins later, but it was pretty hysterical. He stood up and was walking around in his crib and just chatting with his stuffed animals. * I made the mistake of going to the grocery store hungry yesterday afternoon, and I wanted to buy ALL the things. We definitely took home some random treats that are not part of our usual grocery list. * My company's parent company is hosting a town hall meeting this morning (it started at 8am). I set up for us to connect via web-meeting so that we could see and hear the meeting. I reserved our largest conference room in our office for people to attend and watch. I am the ONLY person in the room. No one else showed up. Seriously?!?!
The Pope can visit anytime. For the last 2 mornings, I have made it to work in HALF the time it normally takes. And Tuesday (the day he landed) there was no traffic going home.
Yesterday I had to go to another location for an emergency (not Pope related) and my boss let me leave when I was done (vs trying to get back to our main location .5 miles from the Pope....so I went to lunch and to a movie!
Not being at work yesterday, has put me woefully behind.
I am excited for dinner tonight. Salsa chicken tacos.

Happy birthday! Also I didn't know that McDonald's did happy meals for breakfast ...
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.
I have had a busy few days of being out of the house so I'm woefully behind on this board. As a result, I may post a lot today.
I took Ellis to my office yesterday to meet people. That was nice!
E continued to gain weight well on feed on demand. She's now 8lb14oz and out of newborn sizes.
We are going apple picking this weekend with good friends of ours.
Ellis fell asleep in the stretchy wrap carrier this morning when we took the dog on a walk (the point of it was to get E to sleep) and she's still sleeping (we are now reclined with her on my chest). I have to wake her up soon because we don't want her to go more than 3 hours at a time during day because we do want her to go more than 3 hours at night.
I'm ridiculously excited for the "hungry man" frozen dinner waiting for me in the freezer for lunch today. I bought it yesterday so that I could get enough to eat without having to rely on being able to prepare something while taking care of E.

I just spent about 20 minutes moving a seller's stuff out of the front closet so the inspector can reach the crawl space access underneath the huge piles of things. This job is so glamorous some times.
I'm just waiting, sort of impatiently, to get a smiley OPK. I'm ready to get this IUI done with the Femara boosting everything. I have a feeling this particular TWW will be brutal.

#1 Our 15 week old slept in her own room last night. She's a good sleeper and probably should have moved over a month ago, I just like having her nearby.
#2 I work in higher ed and I just fell asleep at a study table in the library. My heavy breathing woke me up!
#3 Trying to decide if fancy schmancy Christmas photos for $75 is a good deal or not. Our photographer is running a special in Chicago and we're trying to decide if we should put effort into Christmas cards this year.

kona - Sorry to hear about the job interview. I was looking for an appropriate gif for you, and I found this...which is not appropriate, but does qualify as random.
