How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing pretty well. I handled the shower this weekend better that I thought I would- it was easy, but at least I didn't fall apart like I did after the last one.

How was your weekend? Pretty busy, but not too bad overall

Anything new to share? Tomorrow is the last day on BCP...we are not going to actively TTC for a few more months but I'm going to go ahead and start charting and tracking my cycles in hopes that it will help speed the process along

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She stayed with my mom Sat night, and when she saw me Sun morning, she came running up to hug me..it was sweet

GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever I consider myself a somewhat creative person, and I like my creativity.


Accountability Question (option, for those who want to participate...I can make a new thread if everyone would rather):
How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track? I did ok...weekends are my downfall. I have a very hard time sticking to any sort of plan to eat right on the weekends. I upped my steps part of the week, and then I hurt my toe (I halfway ripped the toenail off my 2nd to last toe when i hit it on DD's diaper pail). This week, I am going to try again to track at least on the weekdays and get as many steps as I can in.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?
 I'm doing ok. I am struck with sadness as unexpected times. I'm still spotting. I had to go to urgent care for bad food poisoning and of course the pregnancy test was positive so I had to explain the miscarriage.


How was your weekend?
The weekend was rough due to the food poisoning.


Anything new to share?
Not really.


What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
I spend Saturday playing with my 18 month old DD. She is a sweet busy busy girl.


GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever
:  I suppose my ability to learn quickly. It's always been an advantage at work.




Accountability Question (option, for those who want to participate...I can make a new thread if everyone would rather):

How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track?  I have decided that I will wait until the end of the month before I decide on some weight loss goals.

[chknma]

Physically? Emotionally? Doing okay. Trying to focus on some healthy changes. Thinking a little about where we would be gets me down. Still having some jealousy/anger towards other pregnant people

How was your weekend? Busy but good.

Anything new to share? All my labs are back. Waiting for my MW to call and discuss. My blood sugar land were in normal range which makes me happy. Everything else was pretty normal except my protein C was low which per Google can be related to predisposition for clotting. I doubt that is the reason for our losses but will discuss with my provider. Looks like just unexplained loss to me.

We've had two healthy pregnancies and three losses. I've never had my progesterone tested in early pregnancy, so I'll ask about testing that. Anything else to bring up or ask about?

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
DD2 is still nursing and cosleeping at 20 months. It was wearing on me during the pregnancy, but now I'm trying to cherish these close moments. She was being wild and wouldn't go to bed on Saturday night, we both fell asleep on the couch and it was so snuggly and wonderful!!

GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever
I have a big squishy sappy heart.i think it makes me a better mom, wife, etc and certainly helps my job in healthcare/end of life care

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing much better this week than last week. Last week I was struggling a lot emotionally, but I had a good weekend and that has helped me.

How was your weekend? --OPP pregnancy/baby mentioned-- My sister had her baby Friday night. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle this emotionally, but after seeing my new nephew I couldn't do anything but smile and be happy. Also it was so cute seeing DS around the baby. So, overall my weekend was good.

Anything new to share? Not really.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? DS likes to be tickled and for me to get him. His laughing when we do this gets/makes me smile every time. I love those moments.

GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever Probably how caring and compassionate I am.

Accountability Question (option, for those who want to participate...I can make a new thread if everyone would rather):
How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track? I reached my goal of 5000 steps everyday last week. I had to get creative to get there some days, but I did it. My goal this week is to continue to get at least 5000 steps and to eat more fruits and vegetables.

[woodenshoes]

tbonequeen13, Yay for being done with BCP. I am sorry about your toe. I hope it feels better and you can get all your steps in this week.

kam3100, I hope you are feeling better.

chknma, I am glad you got some wonderful snuggly time with your DD. I am glad your blood sugar was within the normal range.

[legalbeagle]

tbonequeen13, glad the shower went better than expected! I had to skip one a few weeks ago -- just couldn't handle.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm doing okay. I feel like now every fiftieth thought is about the loss instead of every other. That's progress right?

How was your weekend? Good! My husband and son and my sister and brother-in-law met up to celebrate my mom's birthday. I was sick but my mom had a great weekend and was very appreciative. Glad we aren't driving again this weekend though.

Anything new to share? Not really. Am 3 DPO (is it okay to share that?) but not optimistic.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Playing in the snow! He loved it!

GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever
I think I am a good friend. Very dependable and good at showing up.

How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track?
Ugh, ate way too much this weekend and was also sick so didn't work out at all. This week I want to get back to working out five times a week and stop eating so many carbs! I already signed myself up for a bunch of my favorite barre classes.

[cbowl]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm doing pretty well...emotionally and physically.

How was your weekend? The weekend was great...my LO and I went to visit friends and had a blast.

Anything new to share? I'm feeling optimistic after a great mtg with a new RE. We are going to move forward on testing and treatment so here goes!

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? This was her first flight in her own seat...seeing her sitting on the plane with her headphones in just looking so proud. I couldn't believe how big she was looking!

GTKY: What's your favorite thing about yourself? This can be a talent, a feature, whatever
I am very emotionally tuned in...this can be hard because I find that I take on a lot of peoples emotions but it also allows me to be connected to people.

Accountability Question (option, for those who want to participate...I can make a new thread if everyone would rather):
How did you do last week as far as reaching your goal? What is your goal this week and what are you doing to stay on track? I did nothing last week! Okay I didn't drink during the week so that was a good goal! But I didn't work out at all.

Great job with your fitness goals! Sounds like you're raising a sweet DS. It really saddens me sometimes when I see parents that don't model or encourage basic good manners. honestly the only reason I know my labs is because I work in the hospital where I had them drawn and I stalked them. I need to check in with my MW to make sure they received them.

[tbonequeen13]

kam3100, I am so sorry you're having to deal with food poisoning on top of everything else. I hope it passes quickly for you.

chknma, yay for normal blood sugars! I hope I get the same results when i get the nerve up to schedule an appt with a GP

woodenshoes, yay for being an aunt and for 5000 steps/day!

legalbeagle, any progress is great. I don't mind seeing # of days PO, I think the general consensus a few months ago was just no BFP announcements, but everyone can weigh in to what they think they can handle

cbowl, yay for a great meeting with your RE! Hope you found the right dr to help you.

unringthebell, loosing 4lbs is amazing! congrats!
