[tbonequeen13]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Doing ok on both fronts.

How was your weekend? Pretty good...we didn't have any concrete plans which was nice

Anything new to share? I O'd this weekend according to the OPKs I took..we aren't trying again yet, but I have started using FF and tracking my cycles. It's exciting that it seems like my cycles are going to stay the length they were before this last loss.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? We took her to the park for about 4 hrs on Saturday because it was so nice outside. She LOVES being outside and playing and it was fun to watch her run around

GTKY: crack cookies, aka Girl Scout cookies are being sold already! What's your favorite flavor? It's a tie between Thin Mints and Tagalongs...I could eat my weight in both of those (but I won't..)


Accountability Question:
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 didn't do so great at either..the first couple of days I ate well, but then I got back to eating carbs and by the end of the week I blew calories as well. I will try again this week.

thanks tbonequeen13, glad your cycles are making sense/looking stable. I'm jealous of the outside time! I think we would all be in a better mood if we could get outside and run around. We're still waiting for our recent snow to melt, then I'm sure everything will be swampy for a while ;-)

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

emotionally/weekend:
My mood is bad. I've been down and angry a lot over the past week. We had a birthday party Saturday for a friend's son who is expecting for a few weeks after our loss' EDD. There was a lot of pregnancy talk.
I know that my mood is related to my grief. grief for our loss and also the likelihood we will not be trying again. After our previous losses we were actively trying, so I had something to focus my energy on. Now I just feel like there is a big empty hole that will never close. I just wish I could do something to speed it along or snap out of it. I'm trying to focus on what I am grateful for and self-care. DH keeps asking me what's wrong. It hasn't changed so stop asking and that just makes me annoyed.

Anything new to share?
I can't believe it's February already. slow down 2016!

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
DD1 is going through a "I'm a mom just like you" phase where she tries to do everything I do. It's really sweet and makes me feel like I'm doing a good job. DD2 is giving the best tight squeezy hugs these days.

GTKY: crack cookies, aka Girl Scout cookies are being sold already! What's your favorite flavor?
thin mints and samoas ----mmmmmmm


Accountability Question:
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 only made 3 workouts and my food deteriorated as the week went on....I'm starting/prepping for a 10 day detox (whole foods, clean eating). I did it over the summer and felt great.
This week 5 workouts and stick with my prep for my detox-I'm following the plan, but with coffee weaning. Next week I'll go without coffee

[tbonequeen13]

chknma, I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Creepy internet hugs.

[thepax89]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? My bleeding has nearly stopped, and the pain is gone. Emotionally I'm not crying as much. I'm just annoyed that I'm not pregnant.


Anything new to share? 2 week post d&c checkup this week. Hoping to get some questions answered.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? We did laundry together. Goodness I'm adoring her.

GTKY: crack cookies, aka Girl Scout cookies are being sold already! What's your favorite flavor? Peanut butter sandwiches.


Accountability Question:
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 didn't have a goal last week. (New to this group). This week, I'm going to spend 30 minutes/day actively playing with my daughter. Without distractions.

[kam3100]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I'm good on both. We laid my Grandmother to rest, and I started my first cycle after the D&C so I feel closure on both accounts.

How was your weekend? It was okay. It was my Grandmother's funeral. It's very hard to lose her and see my family in such pain. Sunday I just caught up on chores. I did set up a 55 gallon fish tank that I'm pretty excited about.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She has been very loving and giving hugs and kisses and grabbing me for hugs. It's so adorable.

GTKY: crack cookies, aka Girl Scout cookies are being sold already! What's your favorite flavor? I LOVE Thin Mints


Accountability Question:
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'm using my FitBit again and going to work on getting back to doing 10,000 steps daily.

[chknma]

thepax89, glad you are feeling better and hope you have a positive appointment this week. Laundry? send her to my house! I feel like laundry is my #1 hobby these days. my LOs just manage to throw the clean clothes on the floor or want to stand in the baskets of clean clothes!

kam3100, so sorry you are grieving so much right now. Glad you feel some closure. toddler hugs and kisses really are the best!

[birch113]

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? My mood isn't great. I'm on CD3 of my last cycle on the bench. I think j I'm just feeling it from all angles: sadness that I should be in my third tri, and fear of trying and having another loss. Also, my cycles have been wonky since my loss. FF has officially labeled me as "irregular". Guess we'll see shay happens next month.

How was your weekend? DS is struggling with molars, so he was pretty crabby. Sunday was beautiful, though, so we got to spend time outside and took him for a ride on his SmarTrike, which he loved!

Anything new to share? No news!

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? DS started pointing. He's been gesturing for months, but we have a real point now. He was sad and H was holding him. The second he saw me he pointed right at me and started reaching for me. I felt bad for H but it melted my heart.

GTKY: crack cookies, aka Girl Scout cookies are being sold already! What's your favorite flavor?

Samoas, hands down!


Accountability Question:
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?

Last week I stuck to my healthy eating plan! I'm struggling with finding time to work out still. This week I've had a harder time staying on track with AF. I am trying not to beat myself up about it, and not using a slip up here and there as an excuse to go bananas and eat my face off.

[tbonequeen13]

thepax89, glad the physical pain is subsiding

kam3100, I'm sorry it was a hard weekend

birch113, yay for the last cycle on the bench!

[chknma]

birch113, ((hugs)) it always surprises me when I've been focusing on a goal like getting through X and then realize that I'm not emotionally "there" yet. I hope that you are able to find a TTC timeline that you feel comfortable with and can burn that bench when you're ready :-) way to go with the self control during AF!!

[chknma]

such a sweet pic opheliainwaders! I can't wait until we can get out from this snowy/winter weather and spend more time outside! Down time is what gets me too ,glad you are overall feeling okay.
