How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically, much better now that the AF from hell is gone. Emotionally, yesterday was rough. One of our ministers and friends at church had twins recently (their due date was about 3 weeks after mine should have been) and yesterday was the first day I got to visit with them. DD really loved seeing the babies, and several people made comments out loud to my husband about how he better be careful cause I'd be wanting another one soon. I had to bite my tongue to stop from saying something ugly like "I'd already have one this same age if my body would quit killing my unborn children"

How was your weekend? Pretty good...fairly busy but ok

Anything new to share? Had my first appt with my PCP on Friday... I really liked her. She totally understood my anxiety once I shared my experiences with evil OB, and I should get the results from my labs this week and find out once and for all if I have Type II..I am operating on the assumption that I do because I am one of those "prepare for the worst" kind of people.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? She was pretty cuddly yesterday

GTKY: We may have done this one before, but it's been long enough I don't remember if we have...how'd you come up with your username? I played trombone for 8 years in high school and college and was the only female all 8 years, so that was a nickname I picked up along the way, and I added 13 b/c it's my lucky #.


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 did ok...still no exercise (stupid weather) and I overate Friday at work (we had a babyshower and I'm a sucker for cake). I'll try again this week.

tbonequeen13, ((hugs)) the comments are tough.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally?
physically I feel fine. I'm an angry, sad mess again. I just wish that I could let go. it doesn't help that I took apart the crib yesterday. I'm trying DD2 on a floor mattress. It also doesn't help that I'm ovulating this week. And this is the month that I thought we'd be TTC again. I can barely look at DH. I'm not mad about his feelings and don't want to try to change his mind about TTC ,but part of me still blames him and I know that isn't fair.

How was your weekend?
Okay. DH committed to some things that took up the entire weekend. I felt like all I did was laundry, dishes and solo parent. Plus I'm cranky and annoyed anyway.

Anything new to share?
please let this warm weather stick around

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week?
we went to the park on Saturday. It was nice to be outside and have both girls running round. they really loved swinging!

GTKY: We may have done this one before, but it's been long enough I don't remember if we have...how'd you come up with your username?
around when I joined TD we had just gotten our chickens. chicken and mom= chknma


Accountability Question:

only 3/5 workouts. good with eating except on Saturday---wine + pizza + homemade ice cream....I felt like I had a hangover the next day (and I barely had any wine!)

[tbonequeen13]

chknma, hugs to you..I know that grieving both the loss of your baby and the loss of the chance to have another has to be especially tough.

(((Hugs))) tbonequeen13 those comments can be so incredibly painful.

chknma (((hugs))) I'm so sorry this if sorry you're having a hard time. I wish I had some words of wisdom. Just k ow you're in my thoughts.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? Physically, I don't know WTF is going on. My cycles have been really wonky since my loss, getting shorter and shorter. FF had me O'ing on CD13 and I was supposed to be due for AF on Sunday. AF is nowhere to be seen, so my O date must be off. (No possibility for BFP, we actually haven't DTD in a bit). Emotionally, anxious for CD1 because we can TTC, but also not sure if I'm ready. Though, I'm not sure I will ever feel ready to risk another loss.

How was your weekend? Poor DS had strep, an ear infection, and the start of bronchitis. :-( I hate seeing him so sick and sad!

Anything new to share? Just my DD above.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? I feel terrible that he was sick, but I did enjoy the extra cuddles. He's always on the go now that he's walking! He was home with DH on Monday and when I got home from work, he came running into the kitchen, huge smile, arms outstretched for me to pick him up. It was everything.

GTKY: We may have done this one before, but it's been long enough I don't remember if we have...how'd you come up with your username?

I love trees and got into learning about Celtic birth trees. Mine is a birch tree. I love what it stands for, and have a tattoo of one on my back. Like tbonequeen13, 13 is my lucky number.

How's everyone doing? Physically? Emotionally? I am doing well physically. Emotionally, I am so-so. Some it related to turning 35 last week and my EDD being a couple weeks ago, and some of it is related to the crappy work schedule that my husband is supposed to be starting in a month.

How was your weekend? My weekend was good. It was my birthday.

Anything new to share? Nope.

What was your best moment with your LO(s) this week? We visited my husband's grandpa (who is in his mid 80s) and his wife (it is his 2nd wife, so my husband doesn't call her grandma) on my birthday. During the visit DS was playing on the floor with his trucks. DH's grandpa got on the floor with DS and started playing with the buses with DS. That moment was definitely captured on camera, it melted my heart.

GTKY: We may have done this one before, but it's been long enough I don't remember if we have...how'd you come up with your username? My previous name on the TD was my initials, which I didn't want to keep using over here. I am dutch and wanted something that was linked to that. I thought about something with tulips, but just ended up going with wooden shoes because there were some laying on the floor nearby that DS was playing with when I created my account.


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 did well reaching my step goal and I did well eating fruit and veggies. I did go off track a little on the weekend because of my birthday. I had ice cream twice on my birthday and some cake. This week my goal is to limit snacking and try to eat healthier foods (i.e. popcorn, apples) when I snack.

tbonequeen13, I am sorry about the comments. I am glad your appointment with your PCP went relatively well. That is cool that you played trombone. I played the flute, but the trombone always seemed like it would be a phone instrument to play.

chknma, hugs, I'm so sorry that you are having a rough time right now. I'm glad you got to enjoy some nice weather that is something that usually helps me when I am struggling.

birch113, my cycles have been wonky since my loss too. I am sorry your DS has been sick, I hope he his feeling better.

[chknma]

[tbonequeen13]
