    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

  • * I am completely bored & unmotivated with work lately

    * I am craving red meat so bad, specifically a juicy hamburger

  • Hook is a really good movie. Julia Roberts isn't a good Tinkerbell though, because she didn't have blonde hair. Everyone knows that Tinkerbell is a blonde, not a redhead.

    I really wish I could think of something worthwhile to do today. I had lunch with my dad and my best friend, but that's all I've done.

    Chocolate cake is super good!

    It would be cool to fly...without a plane.

    I really hope this/these little ones stick around.

    We also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And HOPE does not dissappoint.

  • I fell over the weekend while pumping gas (tripped over the gas hose while trying to put some garbage away..I did not lift my foot high enough). Anyways, I have a massive bruise on my knee and I think I hit the knee bone as well b/c every time I bend or straighten my knee, it hurts like a mofo.

    Food trucks are awesome. Dh and I have been tracking a few of them via FB and twitter to find out if they are near where we live and work. 

    The lady who just heated up her lunch, well it smells like ass.

  • I hate sausage and kielbasa and brats, but I LOVE chicken sausage w/apples.  It's actually what I'm having for lunch today.

  • * I want to go to sleep because I downed 800 mg. of Ibuprofen as a result of the arrival of my most punctual family member, AF.

    * I want to know what the weather will be like in Portland next week so I can start packing (I'm thinking jeans and a rain jacket will be in order).

    * I finally get to upgrade to a smart phone and it's going to ship today and arrive tomorrow. I want it to be here today so I can start playing with it and Bump from my phone.

    * I need to figure out how I'm going to afford to be in two weddings this year. Two bridesmaid dresses and they're both 8+ hours away (we're driving to one and flying to the other).

    ~I have been so tired lately and I have no idea why.  I want to blame it on the cetrotide, but who knows?

    ~ Work has been very stressful lately.  Sometimes I wish I did not work in an ICU, because I am burnt out from taking care of critically ill patients!

    ~I had my baseline u/s yesterday and I was pissed at the u/s tech because she wouldn't tell me my AFC.  (I still think she is a B!tchy for not telling me !)

    • *I just wasted an hour and a half of my day opening up 389 student records to identify which of those 389 my boss has to go into to fix. There are 8 she doesn't have to fix. Very good use of time.

      *I really wish I wanted to cycle right now but I just don't.

      *I'm tired of looking sloppy at work because of all of the layers I have to put on the second I come in the door.

      *I'm so glad I'm super blonde again..it just fits me.

      *I really want new aviators. DH found a super cute pair at a store out in Seattle and said he'd try to get back to the store to buy them for me but he didn't. I'm kind of bummed.

      *I really wish DH's schedule wasn't so difficult to work with. I just want ONE vacation with him a year. That's clearly asking too much.

      *My dad called me last night and said he's probably not going to be able to come down and visit me in Auburn this summer like he wanted/planned because of work being super busy. He told me he'd buy me a plane ticket for me to go home this summer because he wants to see me so badly. I don't want to go home. At all. That's awful I know :(

      - Obsessing over how I can lose my 10lbs of IF weight gain and quick so I can fit into my summer clothes.

      - Wondering how I'm goign to quit feeling sorry for myself and pull my chit together!

    • * I really want another national GtG for us. I'd even plan it...even though I'm as good as an umbrella left at home in a monsoon when it comes to actually getting on and posting on here anymore.

      * I was really looking forward to DH being at home yesterday and today so I could come home and watch crappy tv. He stayed up here instead and I didn't get to watch said trashtastic tv.

      * I am craving a Shamrock Shake. I want one so bad. Ya'll know my obsession with those so I don't feel weird posting that Wink

      * I like that I have my own office at work so I can sing along to the radio. Plus no one sees when I cringe when I get a crappy email to deal with.
