R/R: Feeling so much more positive today, maybe just good Friday vibes, but feeling good!
GTKY: Do you and your SO have a song? Kind of, our first dance song was “You and Me” Dave Matthews which I adore. But “Strangers in the Night” has more history for us, hubs sang it too me one evening while we danced around the kitchen of my apartment.
@LElkCot Yay Friday! Glad you are having a positive day. I think you and YH dancing in the kitchen is adorable. We do that once in a while too, ok more I do the dancing and he just stands still and I use his arm to twirl myself around lol, but its cute.
Month/Cycle: 11/12 (benched a few)
CD/DPO: 18/6
Timing: -3, -1, 1
Typical LP length: 14 days
Testing: waiting for AF
R/R: Friday leaves little to rant about. Had a great group workout this morning and have been rather busy at work today which makes the time pass quickly. DH did start talking to me in his sleep around 4am though, so very much looking forward to that alarm not going off tomorrow.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you and your SO have a song? We have collected a couple over the years, the most recent probably "Live in the Moment" by Portugal the Man. It became our favorite road trip song. He does sing Ed Sheeran's "Perfect" to me when it comes on though.
R/R: Met a deadline yesterday so finally got some sleep last night after not getting more than 3 hours either of the previous 2 nights. Feeling a lot better about life today. And it's Friday. I'll probably have to do some work on Sunday, but I plan to duck out early for happy hour today and take tomorrow completely off.
CS/Q:
GTKY: Do you and your SO have a song? No. Our first dance was "Better Together," though it was less of a dance than an awkward shuffle with lots of stepping on feet. Never got around to signing up for those dance lessons we'd intended to take...
@nitnat007, glad you had a great workout this morning. I love it when I can get out of bed early enough to work out before work. Such a great way to start the day, and nice not to have to worry about doing after work. Rarely happens for me though; usually I turn the alarm off and go back to sleep these days.
@LElkCat, glad you're feeling more positive today. Happy Friday!
R/R: Fiance got a referral for the sperm clinic in our city. He has to go to the clinic, take the jar home and then bring it back within one to two hours. We live 40 minutes outside the city so I was hoping he could make a deposit on site. Is that just a TV thing? Anyway, it will be nice to have some news soon.
CS/Q: -
GTKY: Do you and your SO have a song? I picked one that I thought was appropriate for us when I was listening to the radio. It is called "Poor" by Meaghan Smith. I recommend it!
@LElkCot Glad you are feeling better today! Fridays do that for me too. I grab my fiance and dance with him while I am cooking Sunday breakfast, usually to Jay and The Americans or Van Morrison
@nitnat007 If you haven't yet, you should absolutely listen to "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran and Andrea Bocelli. It is amazing!
Happy Friday everyone! @LElkCot glad you’re having a great start to the weekend. @meri-mac my DH is doing his sample on site. His is in 2 weeks and they say it has to be tested within an hour. At least that’s what our clinic told us.
Month/Cycle: 12/12
CD/DPO: 28/13
Timing: -3, -2, -1, 0
Typicial LP length: 13
Testing: No. I’ve been cramping so I’m just waiting for AF tomorrow.
R/R: just so happy the weekend is here!
CS/Q: nope
GTKY: I’m ashamed to say we really don’t. We didn’t have a traditional wedding reception either because we just had a small backyard ceremony, so no wedding song.
*lurking* @meri-mac He should be able to give a sample on site. The clinics we've been to have a collection room for that. Ours also told us that it has to be given to them within the hour.
People think we become mothers when we give birth but the truth is we become mothers the moment we start calling our babies to us in our thoughts, dreams and prayers. Some paths are short and some are so long that you can easily forget where you were headed.
