Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles, It empties today of its strength. ~Corrie ten Boom
Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I'll try again tomorrow. ~Mary Anne Radmacher (thank you beadinglady)
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.

Re: where is everyone? an afternoon poll
I'm around a little..I was late getting to work because of my dentist appointment and it was just decided on Friday that I'll be taking an emergency prepardness training course Tuesday-Thursday and then I have training for our new email system Friday morning so I'm swamped getting a work's worth of week done in a half day.
1. what's for lunch?
DH took me to a little diner and I had chicken and rice soup since I had dental work done today. Even though it is like 107 outside.
2. what shoes are you wearing?
Black and white heels
3. any fun plans this week?
Not even a little bit. I have 4 days of training at work, DH just left to go back to Cali for the week..this week is crappy. It is our 4th anniversary on Wednesday but DH will be OOT.
4. what's last movie you saw in the theaters?
Hangover II
5. what temp is your AC set to?
At my house--78*, at work--arctic
6. what's your fav summer song on the radio?
Not really a "summer song" but I love Kenny Chesney's You and Tequila.
TI, IUIs, IVF = c/ps and BFNs
Work is really busy. So, I'm definitely not on as much as I was. Besides, I'm trying not to go crazy over whether I will actually ever get to do IVF #3.
1. what's for lunch? Leftovers as usual. Today was balsamic chicken and pears on couscous with a side of steamed green beans.
2. what shoes are you wearing? Navy blue heels.
3. any fun plans this week? No. Lots of work, a monitoring appointment tomorrow and possibly a cyst aspiration on Wednesday.
4. what's last movie you saw in the theaters? My husband and I saw Captain America yesterday.
5. what temp is your AC set to? Ours changes throughout the day. I'm not sure what MH has it set to right now, though!
6. what's your fav summer song on the radio? I haven't been listening to the radio much these days. I know, I'm pretty lame.
