~*~ Hump Day Positivity ~*~

Happy Wednesday, lovely ladies of PGaL!  I took the week off last week, but thought it was important to revive the thread this week, especially for us D14 ladies who have had a rough few days.

This is the place that we share all of the good stuff that's going on in our lives, whether it be about LO, family, friends, work, or whatever!  PGaL tends to be a time of stress and worry, so let's focus on -- and share -- the positive!

Feel free to be an AW!

My HDPs:

* A lot of my early TTCAL friends started having their rainbows these last several weeks, and it's been so gratifying to watch that happen and for them to get their happy endings.

* Friday is my last day of work before maternity leave! I'm really looking forward to a couple of months off to usher in this new stage of my life.  I'm thrilled and terrified at the same time.

Hey @ToriGirl2014 Thanks for bringing this back this week! Yay for maternity leave!!!

My positives:

• Made some money at a local craft fair this past weekend
• Got a good Christmas bonus from my company
• A good friend of mine has just entered 2nd tri after 3 losses - I'm so unbelievably ecstatic for her and her hubby!

Thanks for doing this @ToriGirl2014 and yay for almost being on maternity leave!!

@morethansparrow08 wahoo for extra money!  What do you sell for crafts?

AFM: After 5 days of very limited movement, Aubrey has picked back up.  And due to her limited movement I had moved my doctors appointment up to Monday (from today) and everything seemed great there but due to my freak out nature they sent me for an ultrasound. So I had my ultrasound this morning and she is doing great!!!  At 28 weeks she's measuring at 2 lbs 7 oz and has hair already!  She was also doing some practice breathing :-D I'm guessing she was laying low in response to my body getting sick (completely unscientific but I'm going with it) but now I'm starting to feel better & she's back to kicking her way out

I'm glad you're feeling better and that LO is back to her usual spunky self!

Friday will be H's first paycheck at his new pay grade. Between that and getting reimbursed for family separation (he gets extra money when he's away from us for so many weeks), this month's income is almost twice the norm! We have lots of baby shopping to do this weekend! 

Today is 36 weeks! 

I finished a blanket I knitted for DS a few days ago, and now I'm using the leftovers to make LO a blanket too. It's more than half way done, and I'm really happy with how it is turning out. 

I'm totally jealous of your knitting skills.  Can you show us what you made?

@jap618 Currently, I crochet and sew - what I sold was 5 crocheted hats.  I'm looking into making my own lip balm and candles and a few other things so that I have a wider variety of things to sell.

My MIL does a lot of upcycled crafts using old barnwood, cabinet doors, etc.  She also does water color and a few other things.  Her husband and brother are blacksmiths - they take old metal and heat it up and pound it out into lots of different things - steak turners, bottle openers, corkscrews, fireplace tools, knives, etc.  They're very talented.

I have officially announced to everyone I wanted to, but one. It's so great to see everyone else's excitement. It's making me relax more.
