Attempting the mall the week before Christmas with 2 kids. If I survive then tomorrow I'm attempting grocery shopping with them. Lord, give me strength.
Otherwise it's the library this morning and park if the rain holds off.
Off-and-on swelling has settled into my hands and feet.
Braxton Hicks are occurring daily. Nothing painful, just the typical tummy hardening/pulling feeling.
Maybe I will get a pedicure while I am off from work over the next two weeks. I haven't had one (unless you count me painting my own toes) since I was 39 weeks with William!
The end of year madness is ON at work. Holy smokes!
J is mailing our holiday cards today. Success!
She is also mailing our next embryo storage payment. Sigh...

Had surgery on my foot 3 months ago. Going back to the doctor on Monday (soonest I could get in) to see why it hurts so damn much. At least I can sleep in Monday for a little bit AND I'll have my wife back Friday at 2320!

Going back for another blood draw today, BETA and hormone check. My period stopped suddenly yesterday, and has been suuuuper light, that would mean only two real days, so the RE is investigating. I HATE going to this lab for blood work bc every single pathologist sucks at drawing blood, I've never had so many failed attempts.
Otherwise, I've been nauseated at work all morning.
But I'm so looking forward to being off this weekend.
There is an awesome position posted at the hospital I work at. It's exactly what I want except it's full-time. If it was posted next year I think I would apply but I don't think it's feasible to apply now since we are due in June. I would probably only get 6 weeks off for maternity since I wouldn't be fulltime for a year yet. Ideally I would want to stay home with the baby 6 months at least. 6 weeks isn't near enough. Plus, L would not approve. She would eventually get over it I think.
I'm really bummed about it. I know there is a decent chance a similar position could be posted in the next 1 to 5 years but I really don't know. And obviously I dont even know if I would get it. I just feel like I'm losing a big part of my identity only working 8 hours a week. And always with different people so I don't get a sense of work community. And in a position that doesn't optimize my skill set.
At the same time I would hate to work fulltime right now. Part time would be perfect.

My throat is all scratchy and I left my team Christmas party early so that I could come home and lie on the couch.
Also, the Government of Ontario just released a new online resource that covers from preconception to newborn that has current information and is LGBT friendly: www.omama.com/en/index.

I keep posting but forgetting to send it.
- baby N (my niece that I watch) had another bad day. She is a very difficult baby and I feel bad because I love her but my sister REALLY needs to make some diet changes (she's colic-y, gassy, and throws up...a lot) but she doesn't seem willing to do that or to switch to formula. It is hard for me...but harder for baby N. - my mom is in town helping and it's been awesome. She's so great and I wish they would move to Columbus already. - we are eating bibibop for dinner...YUM!
One day left of work! Saturday I get to start my 24 trek to Ontario via service air. Gotta love the milk run... It will be nice to be back in Ontario no matter how long it takes to get there. 2 weeks off and then Jo comes home the day after I go back to work. I love that my boss is letter me drive to Edmonton to pick her up. The week after we will be off to Saskatoon for another IUI, and the week after that Jo heads overseas again. Good times ahead... I kind of hope we end up like a lot of military family's and get pregnant while she's home over leave. That would be awesome! lol
****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.

The in between stripes are more blue/purple than the grey they appear because there is a blue weft (woven design).
That is so pretty! We do a lot of baby wearing but I have always been intimidated by wrapping. I didn't have great luck with the Moby we tried in the beginning and I still fight with the ring sling on a regular basis. I would love to see baby wrapped in it!
kona, woven wraps are much easier to use than a moby IMO. They are more secure so you can move around without worrying baby will fall out. I like woven wraps especially as the kid gets older/heavier. They're more sturdy. You should try one.

Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe baby #2 is enough justification!
