Any questions?

Rant/Rave? Just really hating the rainy weather we've been having here lately.

GTKY: How do you approach Santa? We don't do presents from Santa and we told our kids from the get-go that Santa isn't real and is just a story. I'm curious: for those of you who do presents from Santa, are all the presents from Santa or just one or two?

@britters314 we do just one gift from santa and usually a very cheap gift so that they don't make other children that may not get big gifts from Santa feel bad. Like coloring books and crayons are a very common Santa gift in our house.

Any thoughts about this cycle? well, i just finished my first cycle off of a 6 month bench situation. did my rational brain know the chances of getting KU right away were slim? yes. was i still slightly bummed about it? yes. stopped progesterone on saturday, AF rolled in today. the nice thing is that FW is going to line right up with the holiday break it seems, so we have some spare time to get horizontal. 

Any questions? natm

Rant/Rave? just like many people, busy this time of year. having a Christmas Eve kiddo adds another layer.

GTKY: How do you approach Santa? we do one gift from Santa, unwrapped. everything else is from us. and i say everything else loosely, she is about to be 3, so we are not over the top and i hope we aren't ever.

@priyadoc i'd say re santa you still have time! next year it'll click more for your kiddo. 
@mambo5-2 that's been the topic of convo re believing with a few friends and my employees this year! 
@britters314 i hope no more colds, we are all getting over them here, so i hope that buys us at least through NYE to stay healthy

@anniemarie887 you have Christmas Eve kiddo?! I have a Christmas Eve BFP kiddo. I can't believe my Christmas gift kid is coming up in 9 years. That just BLOWS my mind. 

anniemarie887

@mambo5-2 yup, she was a week late. I was actually set to get induced on 12/24 and went into labor on my own at about 10pm on 12/23. She was born at like 6.20am. - we didn’t know the sex, so between that and it being Christmas Eve, and right about to be shift change we literally had every nurse from L&D in the room cheering me on LOL
