    Today is DH's birthday, so last night we went to see The Hobbit with friends.  Today we are laying low, but we will go out to dinner.  Tomorrow I work.  

    As for the holidays, we will go to my parents for dinner.  The weekend after Christmas we will celebrate a belated Christmas with DH's family.  

    I hope everyone is doing well and hanging in there during the holidays!

    Hey girls.

    @mm29‌ Happy Birthday to DH! We love eating out. We're thinking of going to The Cheesecake Factory tonight.

    This weekend is a pretty lazy weekend & I'm loving that. It feels good to sleep in and be a couch potato. Tomorrow I'm going try to muster up the strength to bake some treats. I usually bake all kinds of cookies but this year I'm scaling back to only 3 different kinds. I think I'll do sugar, pb kiss blossoms & oatmeal choc chip.

    Thinking of you all as always! Shout out to @hmz819‌ on your transfer next week!!! GL!

    @mm29 - hope you went somewhere good for dinner and work wasn't too bad today.

    I've been doing surprisingly well so far, as far as holiday stuff is concerned. I have literally been dreading this time of year for months because I find it to be the hardest, but we've been busy going to adult Christmas parties and making plans with our childless friends, so it's been good.

    @Grateful&Thankful‌ - omg that is a lot of cookies! I don't have the patience to bake (specifically the measuring part, which I have learned is essential for baking!!)
    We went to a cookie swap this weekend and I made a no bake recipe and it turned out well.

    @RunCC37‌ - I'm jelous that you're done wrapping. I will start Monday night. I love wrapping them and putting my husbands gifts on his stocking/under the tree as I get them done. He gets so excited!


    Like everyone else, I've been busy getting organized for the holidays.

    Christmas eve will be at my inlaws, christmas day we will have our parents over for dinner.

    Normally we have our nieces and nephews and his family over, but I told my husband I just couldn't do it this year. It's come to the point that it's just too painful and last year after all of the kids left I sobbed hysterically... Honestly, I don't care what our relatives think about it. I'm doing what I need to do.

    Me (32) DOR, elevated NK Cells/ 2 copies of MTHFR mutation/ MH (35) azoo/high DFI   (TTC#1 since 2009)

    IVFs#1-4: (4/10-2/12) all BFN

    Surprise Bfp (9/11) - c/p

    DS IUI#1-2 (9/12, 10/12) - BFN

    DS IVF: (11/12) - BFN

    DE/DS IVF#1: (10/13) - 2 day 3 embies transferred-BFFN

    FET of 2 day 6 blasts: (12/13) - c/p

    DE/DS IVF #2: (4/14) - 1 day 5 blast transferred...BFFN...again.

    FET 5/14: 1 day 5 hatching blast transferred...another BFFN

    Repeat SHG 6/14-normal / Endometrial Receptivity Array biopsy 7/14-Receptive Uterus

    It sounds like everyone is prepared for Christmas!

    We finished our Christmas shopping over the weekend (except for an order I have to pick up from Walmart that will come in today or tomorrow).  I wrapped most of DH's gifts Saturday, but I still need to finish the rest of my wrapping.

    On the infertility front, I started lupron today.  I also did my pre-cycle immune blood work for KK today.  It took 5 sticks to fill 7 vials of blood.  I hate my crappy veins.  Now I am just waiting for my baseline a week from tomorrow and I start delestrogen January 1st.

    @Km672‌ - well, so much for that! I didn't wrap the presents like I had intended. Tonight or tomorrow or before we head over for the festivities. We'll get it done.

    @Twinkie0612‌ - busy as usual! But away you go! I'm rooting hard for you :)

    Sending hugs to anyone who needs one - the holidays are especially tough when dealing with grief & loss... Something many of us know too much about. So, hugs to all <3
