How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Ok I guess...dealing with one heck of an AF since I quit taking BCPs, but I keep reminding myself it's once step closer to TTC again
How was your weekend? Pretty good- it was nice to have a day off yesterday where DD, DH, and I could just spend the day relaxing at home
Anything new to share? nope
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She told me yesterday "I want to stay with your forever, Mommy" GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists? The Eagles (obviously), Aerosmith, The Beatles- I was raised on "the classics" and for the most part, I cannot stand what passes for music nowadays
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 managed to reign it in on Friday and Saturday (I made Sunday my cheat day) and I managed to loose 1.5 lbs last week! It was mostly just tracking- I didn't get a whole lot of walking in.
This week, I am going to keep tracking food and I'm trying to go pretty low carb- I know going low carb works for me, but man it stinks (I love me some carbs!)
Thanks for the check-in tbonequeen13 Sometimes those days without plans are the best!
How's everyone doing?
Tough weekend..novel ahead.. Basics are DH and I aren't on he same page about trying again
Physically- doing well
Emotionally- not good. We watched our friends kids Friday. When they picked them up at midnight, my friend dropped he bomb that she's expecting...and she's always made it clear that she wasn't having more and then said she blamed her husband for his one. I may have snapped something about how it takes two people...she doesn't know our history
Then I ugly cried to DH and we were up all night "fighting" about trying again. I think I mentioned that I was avoiding the talk until all my RPL was back. My MW called Friday and is referring me to my MFM to talk about the role of my newly found clotting issue and how to address it during our next pregnancy. I want to try and feel like we can have a successful healthy pregnancy, especially since I've made good progress with my diabetes issues
DH is too worried about a genetic issue that would lead to more loss or a child with special needs. We both have always agreed that we would love any child, but he feels like our losses are a sign. I reminded him that we kept trying after our first two losses and that's why we have DD2. He feels like we should be grateful for what we have and focus on our girls. I am grateful but it's hard when you don't have a choice in how these things work out. I told him that I obviously don't want to force him to try again, but that this would be a loss for what I thought my future would be and I would need to grieve that loss. I mentioned me maybe doing therapy to deal with he emotions and he thought I was trying to guilt him into it.
We need to talk again, it's been tense and exhausting at our house. My feelings are to see the MFM and get feedback about our risks (should this be through an RE instead?) and then offer the timeline to try through the end of the summer and then accept where we are at that time.
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? The girls were so silly Sunday night which was really needed. They both took off all of their clothes and insisted on wearing their aprons to play.
GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists? Im terrible at naming music things, but I really love most music except for extremes in any genera.

Good-5 workouts and tracked most of my food. Need to do better on the weekends because the lack of structure throws me off.
This week: 5 workouts and sign up for a 2 package training session to develop workouts for me
I'm also thinking about stopping the food logging and trying one of those portion control container systems (like 21 day fix)
tbonequeen13 I'm so sorry for the brutal AF. I melted reading your moment with DD!
chknma I'm so sorry your friend dropped that bomb, and that you and DH are not on the same page. I think your plan to gather more info and having another conversation sounds like a good one. Maybe once DH has all of the facts he will feel differently. So many (((hugs))).
How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically, I've had some weird pains/cramping with O. I feel like my body is so different after this loss. Emotionally, so so.
How was your weekend? It was great. It was so nice to have the extra day with DS and DH!
Anything new to share? I think I mentioned how my RPL panel only showed that I was not immune to the chicken pox and low vitamin d. I got my chicken pox vaccine as recommended, and was benched for a month. We were green lighted to TTC this cycle, but I actually got a mild case of chicken pox from the vaccine. We are now benched until March. I'm sad, but trying to use this as an opportunity to get as healthy as possible. Also, the chicken pox sucks!
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? He loves to play Hide N Seek around our dining room table. When he finds me, he throws his hands forward, runs towards me with the biggest smiles while squealing, and gives me the biggest hug. I cannot get enough of that!
GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists?
It's definitely been a sad week. So many people have passed. Some of my favs are Counting Crows, Nirvana, Sara Bareillis, Missy Higgins, and Tori Amos.

I've started my healthy living today, so I have nothing but bad behavior to report this week. I did a lot of meal prep yesterday to keep myself on track this week. My biggest issue is going to be 1. Avoiding wine and 2. Doing my workouts.
birch113 So sorry to hear about the chickenpox! Such a fun game with DS! So cute! Great start with your meal prep! Having healthy food readily available makes a big difference for me!

chknma, I'm so sorry you and DH aren't on the same page. I know that has to be hard. I hope you all are able to cool off for a bit and readdress the conversation soon.
birch113, sorry you have chicken pox! hope they go away soon!
How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically I'm good, I finally stopped bleeding from the d&c, so I'm just waiting for my first period. Emotionally, I still have ups and downs. It usually strikes me at the most bizarre times.
How was your weekend? I had a four day weekend and spent the first two days deep cleaning my house. It's sooo nice to have a clean and organized house again.
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? I gave her a slice of my chocolate birthday cake and she loved it (of course) and kept saying 'mmmm' with such passion. She is truly my daughter and it was so stinkin cute.
GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists? I love No Doubt/Gwen Stefani. But I do love almost all music.
kam3100 ((hugs)) my MW made a point of reminding me that the emotional pain takes longer to cope with then the physical pain of loss. Be kind and take extra good care of yourself. And I'm jealous of your well organized and clean house!!! I think my girls have inherited my sweet tooth too!!

Uuuugh so I kinda stopped updating here because I was in the TWW and didn't want to be all "Hiiiii byeeeee" but I'm 12DPO and had a temp drop and negative pregnancy test today so I'm back for a bit!
How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically okay. Emotionally difficult. I was really hopeful that we'd just get pregnant again and I could try and put the loss behind me. There is part of me that is wondering if it is maybe for the best since I had had a post-loss period yet. Also a friend/acquaintance just had a baby and is posting videos of her first meeting her second and I am happy for her but it is KILLING ME. Need a Facebook break. Need AF to arrive so I can start afresh. Although I hear that first one is terrible -- thoughts/advice, ladies?
How was your weekend? It was nice. We just hung out and got caught up on stuff around the house. I helped a friend clean out her closet. It was a lot of fun (because I'm a freak).
Anything new to share? See above. C'mon AF!
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? Every morning M-F my favorite part of the day is dropping my kid off at school. I hang out for a little bit and get to see what he is doing. So much fun.
GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists? I have terrible taste in music. Think of the worst pop music and I probably like it.
chknma, I'm having a tough time with my H also. He finally agreed a few months ago that we could TTC for a second and then I had the miscarriage and now I'm feeling the race to get pregnant before I get "too old." I know we'll be thrilled if/when we ever have a second, but am just feeling ragey at him because in my mind if we had just started trying half a year ago I'd be pregnant by now and maybe never would have had a miscarriage (I mean, clearly not a given, but that is how my irrational mind works).

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically, I am doing well. Emotionally, I was doing well until I had some more unexpected spotting today. This is the 2nd time this cycle I have had random spotting. I had it on CD 9 and today is CD 19. Also, my BBT dropped by a whole degree yesterday and stayed that low again today. Every cycle it is something different and just confuses me more. Maybe it is stress, but I thought I was doing well managing my stress lately. After today I decided it was time to make an OB appointment. I can't get in until February 23...ugh. I could've gone on February 5, but I am in a training all day.
How was your weekend? My weekend was pretty good. It ended up being 4 days long because I had snow days Monday and Tuesday.
Anything new to share? Nope.
What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? After work today was the best moment. I was so frustrated and sad when I got home because of the spotting and DS seemed to know this. when I got in the door DS wanted me to pick him up and he gave me one of the best hugs ever.
GTKY: I am heartbroken that Glenn Frey from The Eagles died, so since music is on my mind today, who are some of your favorite bands/artists? I mostly listen to Christian music. Outside of that I love Bon Jovi.
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 done well reaching my goal from last week. My Fitbit is really motivating me to keep moving. Unfortunately I haven't lost any weight though, and I didn't think I was eating that unhealthy either. My goal this week is to lose 1 pound. Also, I am in a Fitbit work week challenge with a group of girls I know and my goal for that is to finish in the top 3.

tbonequeen13,I am glad you had a relaxing day off Monday and what your daughter said was so sweet.
chknma, I am sorry you and DH aren't on the same page. Good job on getting 5 workouts in!
birch113, I am sorry you are benched until March and that you got the chicken pox. My loss has thrown my body off a lot. Nothing has been "normal" since then. It sounds like you and your sound had a great time playing hide and seek.
kam3100, a nice clean and organized house sounds lovely. Organization in my house last about 30 seconds before DS makes it a mess again.
legalbeagle, I am sorry about the negative pregnancy test Thankfully my first post loss period wasn't that bad, I hope yours isn't that bad either.
