QOTW - Main thing is work and trying to get things wrapped up - my boss has known about this for many months - so I am annoyed that it took him so long to try and find people to take over my projects. And with the holidays people are not even here anyway.
I am also nervous about the entire labor and delivery part of this - since they are both head down I am going to try for a vaginal delivery - which is scary with the unexpected with twins.
Seeing my babies on the ultrasound this week made me smile
Dx: PCOS and MFI
3 IUIs, 4 IVFs = BFFN
3rd RE: IVF #5/FET = BFP

Major stress: #1) holidays. Originally christmas eve was supposed to be at my house. I cancelled after thanksgiving and mt brother took over. Now myself, my sister in law, and a few of my grandmothers elderly uncles and friends are in the hospital - this all led to everyone cancelling Christmas eve and my brother is pissed. He definitely understands everyone in the hospital but I have a huge family and for some reason everyone this year is totally not feeling Christmas and its celebrations. So I kinda feel bad that everyone cancelled on him at the last minute. I didn't buy any gifts this year, so maybe after I get home and settle in,
I'll gift DH and a few others.
Stress #2) DH! He has been a freaking grump this whole time! Omg! He bought me the most beautiful card to let me know how he is apologetic for his attitude while he is under stress (I cried like a baby) which wad sweet. Now that LO is cominf next week, he's decided to still go to Atlantic City, from friday night to sunday morning. Idc that he goes, but his flippin attitude has been so sour, I went OFF on him this morning. Which led to an apology but I'm so over it . Like dude, you the freaking opportunity to get away from the stress for a few days before our lives change. While Im stuck to this damn hospital bed, and gunna be alone this whole weekend. Wtf are you bitchin about (excuse my lingo, I'm pissed - this literally just happened). I'm so focused on my princess getting here. It would be nice if he took the weekend to finish the nursery but he's so worried about his guys trip its sickening. So he's getting a new vaccum Sunday and painting on Christmas day so watever. I just want it done.
The highlight of my week was finding out our date. Nia is Swahili and its the 5th day of kwanzaa and it means purpose. We were looking forward to having her monday the 30th since that's "Nia" but were having her the first day of Kwanzaa which means Unity. Im happy about this and thankful that it happened this way, it will be a great story to tell. Also finding the estimate weight of about 5lb 11oz, is great I hope its that or more. I've been chugging milk like crazy (per the doc and nutrition lady).
Wishing everyone a happy holiday season, whatever it is you celebrate, enjoy.
