Pregnant after IF

What's for dinner?

All I want is Italian food. I want eggplant parm, spaghetti, ravioli and garlic bread.

DH is accommodating me tonight by hitting my favorite Italian restaurant for takeout. I can't wait!

So what are you all having for dinner? Anything good?

  • Had a whole chicken ready to go in the oven. Turned it on and it wouldn't heat. WTF! Ended up with potato soup DH made the night before. Chicken will be going in the crockpot today. Turns out the possible piece is a little over $100 to replace, plus labor, plus $100 just for them to come out and evaluate it. Guess we might be getting a new one. Just what I need two weeks before my c/s!

    My History:
    Lots of BFN's & failed IUI's w/clomid and/or femara
    Finally BFP with femara & t.i.- son born 6/17/2010
    Started TTC again around when DS was 3ish
    Lots of BFN's with femara & t.i & ovidrel
    Tubes clear, S.A came back low motility but high count
    About to switch to injectables w/femara, did one last cycle with just femara & an IUI with ovidrel- stupid motility was fantastic in the sample, but count was 700,000 AFTER wash! Had to sign a paper to even still do IUI- BFFP (big fat freaking positive) Go figure!

    1st Beta 13dpiui 54, 2nd beta 48 hours later 115, 3rd beta 48 hours later 310, 4th beta 72 hours later 1748.

  • I'm late, but I can still participate.

    It's Tuesday, so the Tuesday dinner menu is either Pork Loin w/ mashed sweet potatoes and collard greens, or a roast beef sandwich. I always go with the pork loin, because I'm still trying to avoid cold cuts.
    The food here is fine.  At least I don't have to cook it, and the portions are all figured out.

    On valentine's day, DH brought me a grilled shrimp and haloumi cheese salad, and gnocchi with eggplant and tomato from a Mediterranean restaurant near our house.  He also made me chocolate chip cookies.  Well done, DH.  Well done.
    I totally overate, but it was delicious, and worth the "I think I over did it feeling."  It's going to be so weird when I'm back in the real world, and need to actually think about my portions again.
