Re: Weekend Plans!?!??!

  • Happy Friday!

    QOTW: Superbowl - I'm sure we will have it on but nothing exciting planned. DH has to travel again monday so just getting stuff done at home. Bday today so thinking of kid friendly place to go to tonight and other then that..pedi with a gf tomorrow which im stoked for and hitting up ikea for a big boy bed. That's about it!

    Married: 5/09 ~ TTC Since: 10/10 ~ PCOS ~ Progesterone from 10/10 - 2/11 ~ HSG on 3/18 - Clear ~ Started Metformin 1000mg & Clomid 50mg 2/11 ~ Metformin upped to 1500mg 4/6 ~ 6/7 Now going to SG and put on Clomid, Ovidrel, Gonal F, Prometrium, Estrace ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP!!!!!! March 6th our little man was born. 

    6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived

    10/29/17 - Started process for IVF, got pregnant & miscarried a 2nd time since summer. 2/22 started stims - Menopur, Gonal F, Cetrotide - retrieval 3/6 - , PIO, estrace 3xday - FET 4/18 = Beta 1: 616; Beta 2: 1342 = BFP 

  • Happy Friday indeed.

    I think I am going to be spending my weekend sleep training :( specifically the CIO method, and most likely it will be in the MOTN since that's when our issues are. This is going to SUCK big time, but while LO has always been a decent sleeper (with some room for improvement) ever since she got sick two weeks ago shes been up A LOT at night and the only thing she seems to want is to be held. She's ten months now - she should not be waking up like this - I think I have no choice but to do something. I am predicting she goes 2 hours of crying :(

    Other than that fun. DH and I have a wake tonight. He will go to the funeral tomorrow I will stay home with LO.

    And as for the Superbowl - our plans have changed about 30 times already. The latest is to have MIL come over and stay with LO and we'll go to his friends house for a few hours.... I could take it or leave it (although some adult time out should always be TAKE IT)..... I actually like to watch the game and the commercials so truthfully I would rather be home!

    Have a great weekend everyone :)

  • My ILs are coming for the weekend mostly so DH and I can go on our first date since....I think June? We Haven't yet celebrated passing my exams so its partly for that and partly to try and do something positive after our BFN.

    qotw: game will be on late here so I may not make it through. But we sky.pe every weekend with my bil to watch football and this weekend will be no different. We get a weekly treat for football Sunday at the grocery store and wont be doing anything more than that. I'm rooting for the broncos.
  • @kaf7, enjoy your date night and congrats again on passing your exams.

    @JBDamonM, no toes are being stepped on! Thanks for starting this; I have been so busy or tired lately that I just didn't have the energy to do the posting, so it's great you are doing it.  GL with CIO. It's hard but it does get better.  I think the important things to remeber are 1) don't give up and be consistent, esp since days 3/4 can be worse than days 1/2.  2) Make sure your DH is on board with you- you need to support one another.

    My brother is visiting us (he lives 8000 miles away) for the weekend, and he is finally meeting M for the first time.  It is also Chinese New Year, so I've invited my cousin to join us for dinner tomorrow.  

    As for Super Bowl, we don't really care much about it so we won't even watch it. Just got an invite from our childless friends who are inviting us over for the game, but given that the game starts so late, by the time we get there, it's almost time to leave in order to get M in bed.

  • I have a busy weekend! We've had two really quiet weekends in a row. I'm kinda bored just hanging around the house. Plus, J is getting to a point where she is bored hanging in the house and loves being out and busy. Saturday I have Pilates, volunteer work, J's godparents are coming for an early dinner. Sunday Super bowl party at my girlfriend's house. Her new man is in town and I'm excited to meet him.

  • So my weekend mostly consists of work :p. But in my field weekends and evenings are the shifts, and it is better for babysitting if I work these hours.

    Superbowl, is it bad I don't even know who's playing?! My parents are HUGE football fans and I'm like "eh, take it or leave it". But we do go to their Superbowl party every year. I'll be bringing rice krispie foot balls. I finish work at 4 on Sunday, and then have to go back into work at 10pm. So we'll see how much of the party I make. Especially since Hannah has not been sleeping great (sucks to you molars!) we are going to try putting her down at my mom's and see what happens.

    I spent today baking cupcakes for a baby shower. And of course here's the aw pic. Tomorrow is the shower. I'm so excited, bc it's for another IF mama, and I'm SO happy for her!!!
    Super Bowl: we usually host a party, but I don't think we have plans to this year. I'm really sad about not getting to do a fun SB spread (I had lots of fun paleo ideas!) But my back and my feet will really thank me. Especially after being on my feet all day today and tomorrow. I do love football but don't care about either team. I love the commercials! But I'm usually just in it for the food and booze. Man I miss beer! Someone crack a cold one for me please!!

  • Tonight DH and I are going on a date, the first time we've been out since Baby I was born. We are going to a play which is technically work for DH, since he's an arts editor, but it should be fun for me.

    QOTW: my sister's coming over for the Super Bowl and were just going to eat tons of snacks. @TJ1979- your cupcakes are amazing and I'll have a beer for you since I couldn't have one last year (quit alcohol prior to FET). Go Seahawks... I guess. DH hates Peyton Manning, so I guess we want he Seahawks to win.

  • No big plans here, really. DH is on call this weekend so we can't do much anyway. Tomorrow H has an evaluation update for physical therapy and Sunday we are meeting my BIL/SIL for lunch and getting the invitations to H's birthday party from SIL. She's a graphic designer and does invites for nearly every party in the family and is so good at it. I can't wait to see these!

    QOTW: I am a football lover, DH is not. This is the only game I can get him to watch or tolerate being on (other than some Aggie football, that's a non negotiable!). I like both the game and commercials, DH is in it for the commercials. Is it just me or have the commercials not been as great overall the last couple of years? I feel like every commercial used to be so clever or catchy or entertaining and now it's only a handful.

    My parents are coming this weekend - they are due for some grandson time!!  And we are also watching my niece and nephew on Saturday night while my S&BIL go out for the night.  So, full house tomorrow night!!  I bought stuff to all make our own pizzas then after DS goes to bed we'll do a movie and popcorn.  I think it will be fun.  Sunday, depending on when my parents leave, we'll probably head to a friend's house for part of the game.  

    QOTW:  We usually have a big party for Super Bowl, but with DS's tubes and my transfer, I just wasn't up to it this year.  It's a lot of cooking and cleaning!  It's hard with everyone having young kids anyway.  Hopefully we'll start up again next year.  I'll watch the game, but I'm only really into it when it is teams that we, or our friends/family, root for.  That's makes it so much more exciting!

  • @TJ1979 So far so good! I updated my original post but he did really well considering the circumstances and has been great so far. I'm happy that we went ahead with it. He's been eating normal and in a great mood, probably since his ears aren't full of fluid anymore. I'm hoping this makes a huge difference for him. Ear infections are awful!! Thanks for asking :)

  • Good luck @JBDamonM with the sleep training! Hope it goes/went easier than you expected.
     @kaf7 enjoy your date!
    Tonight we have birthday party for BIL, my sister is watching M and we will stay over there. As far as the game...I'll probably watch for the commercials. DH talked about maybe going to a friend's party, I'll stay home with M either way.
    But what I'm most looking forward to, is setting up our own cake smash photo session tomorrow afternoon! (M will be 1 next week.) I'm picking up the cake in an hour and have practiced a few shots this week. Hoping it turns out cute. 
    Enjoy the weekend everyone!
