H is home today and I really didn't want to come to work when he got to stay in bed with the pups. This week is going to suck so much. I have so much to do and really don't have time to be on here but I'm avoiding work. Who's with me?
kayladawn91 I feel you! I had the best weekend and work is a reality check this morning! I just have one more week and two late nights of conferences before I am off for a week. Come on Thanksgiving!
And in other news, this weekend was a fun edition of "Shit old people say" pregnancy edition.
**Loss mentioned**
First my grandmother told me "Don't you wish you had started earlier and then you wouldn't be dealing with all of this right now." This was during a conversation about my recent loss and TTC again. She likes to make comments about how I got married late and am now having kids late. And she threw in "I surely hope you are trying again right away." Also in reference to me being old.
Then on Saturday morning we dropped DS off at my in-laws for his first overnight there. DH's grandmother was there also and when we left she hugged me super tight and whispered "Now don't you go and get pregnant this weekend!" I was literally speechless and must have given her the funniest look. So she grabs me again and whispers "No, really doodler, you really shouldn't get pregnant again this soon, please wait."

doodler WTF. I am sorry you had to listen to that. Some people say the worst/dumbest things about TTC when they should really just mind their own business! Hugs.

DS woke me up at 530 but I was able to get him back to bed. He then woke me up at 830 by hitting me in the face. Happy Monday! DH started work today so it's weird he isn't home. I am off still (until Thursday night!) but nothing exciting going on here today. We need to run a couple of errands and I think I might go get a RedBox movie to watch during nap time.
Left a voicemail with my OB's office. Still waiting on lab results from Wednesday. Hoping they call me sometime this morning.
I have to brag about the meal H made last night. Grilled cheese sandwiches made with sourdough bread and jalapeno havarti cheese (he used dill Havarti for his) and creamy carrot potato soup. I'm trying to find the recipe he used. He made it with vegetable stock so it's friendly for any vegetarians/vegans.

I know, right! I just shrugged off my grandmother's comment because as stupid as it was, she is not a mean person and I know she meant no harm. But I have no idea where DH's grandmother was coming from. We have had issues with her in the past but since having DS she has been much nicer(because we finally gave her a great-grandkid). I found out from one of DH's cousins that the Christmas before we had DS, she apparently had a bash doodler session where she was being nasty and saying that she was sure I was going to steal the spotlight from Christmas by announcing that I was pregnant. There are so many things wrong with that line of thinking that it makes my head spin. Maybe that's her reasoning again. It baffles me.

Hugs doodler. People can be so insensitive. Yesterday I was telling my sister how this Christmas is a little depressing since our loss and she said "Enjoy this time with just you and H because you'll wish you had it later when you do have kids." SHUT UP sister.

Add that one to the list of things NOT to say......
I'm sorry doodler and kayladawn91, both of those comments would make me so upset. Even when people don't have bad intentions its hard to deal with insensitive comments.
I have no motivation to work today. Maybe more coffee will help!
On a happier note, I had an amazing weekend! DS did awesome at his first sleepover with the in-laws! DH and I got a hotel at the beach and had a great time! We went to his favorite brewpub for lunch and then had dinner and a pitcher of margaritas at a mexican joint later that night. The weather was in the 60's so we walked on the beach yesterday. It was so gorgeous!

Ohhhhh my god. No. What is wrong with people?! Hugs to you.
Lots of hugs kayladawn91 and doodler. It's so hard to give people the benefit of the doubt between just being clueless and being downright mean when they say stuff like that.
I was up late last night watching How to Get Away With Murder. I have to clean the apartment when I get home tonight because they are coming tomorrow to do preventative maintenance. I have leftover pizza for lunch today though...yum!

I got an email from RedBox with 3 free codes and none of them work ... I am irrationally annoyed by this. Now I am trying to find some other free codes online lol.
It's Monday, H is getting truck fixed (brakes, maybe power steering, tie rods, etc) and that is going to be a bigger bill than I want. FIL is coming Thursday so need to get the house cleaner than it is. Pool table and surrounding area are a disaster so would like to work on that area more but the rest is more: put laundry away, finish picking up, finish cleaning bathrooms, vacuum and mop.
H needs to get the leaves picked up and do some other fall outdoor projects and finish getting ready for deer hunting.

Thanks everyone!
I already ate my lunch and it wasn't very good. Now 5 more hours of work with no food. This is the bad part of working in a high school where the lunches begin at 10am...

When it comes to TTC, it's like people can't help themselves. They open their mouths and dumb stuff just comes out. Ugh.
Add me to the list of people needing a coffee drip this morning. I'm tired from working on a project all weekend, and I have so much due this week as well. I know I signed up for this, but man am I ready for the semester to be over.

doodler (minus the dumb comments) that sounds amazing! I love little trips like that. And fall days at the beach are so nice! Sorry to you and kayladawn91 for people saying things like that. I always think...would these people have so many opinions about a sinus infection or some other health concern? Why are y'all in my ute???!? I'm sitting in an office waiting for my next appointment and the partner is on a conference call where I can hear everyone yelling at each other...I'm just sitting here on TCF and wondering what we'll get for lunch.
TTC since July 2014. CP March 2015. IVF #1 March 2016, 5R, 3M, 2F with ICSI. Transferred 2 on day 3. CP. Surprise BFP and then CP August 2016 (prep cycle for IVF).

doodler and kayladawn91, sorry about the crappy comments you received. We haven't told anyone we're TFAS and whenever we're asked, we just say that we're thinking about it. More times than not, when someone knows how old I am, I hear some variation of "You better get on it because you're not getting any younger!" Hearing that really sucks when you've been unsuccessfully TTC for awhile. Or I occasionally get "Why would you want to have a baby when you're nearing 40?" Seriously?
I'm at work today with nothing to do again. I'm trying to figure out what I want for lunch. After having a carb fest all weekend (Burgers! Pizza! Wine!), I want to have a lower carb week but a salad just doesn't sound good to me right now.
