My confession: DH's youngest brother is a nest egg, and even though he's 21, they treat him like he's 12. He's nice, but he drives me insane.
Tomorrow we're going with him to DH's grandma's to help her pack to move to an assisted living place, and I am not looking forward to it at all. He is the slowest person on earth when it comes to getting things done (Pack books? Ok, but while taking them off the shelf, let's read the covers on every single one and look at the table of contents and comment on anything remotely interesting). I am going to need to come up with some serious mantra to stop myself from trying to turn into a slave driver in the hopes of changing him.
I hope I'm doing him an injustice and he's really helpful tomorrow, but that would be a surprise.
BFP1: DD1 born April 2011 at 34w1d via unplanned c/s due to HELLP, DVT 1 week PP
BFP2: 3/18/12, blighted ovum, natural m/c @ 7w4d BFP3: DD2 born Feb 2013 at 38w4d via unplanned RCS due to uterine dehiscence
I ordered a Pregasuarus Rawr shirt on Amazon last week and was so excited to finally get it in the mail last night. I was keeping it a secret from MH because I planned on putting it on after my BFP as my way of telling, him along with a few other things I plan on giving to him. I put it on last night and took a picture then hid it in my closet. I made sure I threw away the package so he couldn't find it and then was going to hide the invoice in my room. Well, I got too busy playing in it (I know, sad) then watching trashy tv shows and chatting. I ended up leaving it on the kitchen counter with the mail. He got home last night from work, climbed into bed and said, "Are you pregnant?? I saw you ordered a t-shirt!" WTF son! I asked him how he knew and he said he saw the invoice. I was irrationally mad. This happened over Christmas too where I ordered him a video game but accidentally left the invoice out. We had a conversation about it and I told him next time to pretend like he didn't see it. So this time when it happened again I was so mad. I said, "Why do you always have to ruin it! We had this conversation that if you see an invoice you freaking pretend like you didn't see!" I was being a complete bia and really it's my fault for leaving it out. I feel bad and plan on apologizing.
O and to add, the invoice has a picture of the shirt. My dumb arse discovered that this morning. So the surprise is ruined. I am the worst at keeping things a surprise.
Another ETA: TTGPDinosaur - you would love this shirt! I highly recommend you get it.

My MacBook died yesterday. And when it still wouldn't turn on today, I cried about it.
(Really, it was probably more of just further crying about our terrible-if-these-SA-numbers-don't-get-better-IVF-is-your-only-option tears from the doctor's news this week. But the broken laptop just started the waterworks again...)

TTC #1 since October 2010 | Began Testing in January 2012
DH SA - low motility with 0% morph; varicocele (repaired); low T (on Clomid)
IVF w/ICSI (long Lupron w/ Repronex and Follistim) in September 2012
I have a Droid Incredible and it has been going BSC for a few months. It turns itself on and off all the time, takes forever to boot up ect. A few nights ago it did this for about 30 minutes straight. When it finally came back on, ALL of my pictures were gone. All 436 of them. I was p!ssed. I just did a backup but I went to Chicago since then for a fun weekend away and all those pictures are gone now.
So I decided I was over this phone and wanted to get the new Droid Razr Maxx (which is amazing by the way) and I can't have it! I am not eligable for an upgrade until Sept. 2012 and I am not paying $700.00 for a phone!!! I was irrationally upset about it all day. I know this is stupid but I was on the verge of tears yesterday about it.
Stupid technology.

I was sick enough last Friday that I stayed home from work. Later that night was my niece's birthday party. I was secretly happy that I was so sick I didn't have to go and deal with the in-law drama.
Tonight is a fundraiser pancake feed at DS's school. I really just want to go home, put on my pjs, and be lazy all night. Instead I have to go eat pancakes (I really don't like them that much), spend money on cheap prizes, and pretend to have a good time for DS's sake. So not looking forward to it.
My boss and I match today. Similar suits, same color top and gold jewelry. So annoyed. If she's wearing a different color shoe than me, that may make it better. I'll have to check...
I ate ice cream for dinner last night and had cookie dough for breakfast. PMS, anyone?
I watched two drivers play chicken with the merge lanes last night on my way home. I'm a bit disappointed that they didn't actually cause an accident. It would have served them right for being such idiots.
BFP: 12/20/13 EDD: 08/23/14 (discovered m/c at 8w5d)
BFP: 09/22/14 EDD: 06/06/15 (hoping for our rainbow)
Mine has to do with the post from last night about early BFP?s announced on FB. I have to admit, I will be one of those ?dumb? people. I realize how high the chances of miscarriage are. In fact a CP has an even higher rate. I get that, but I also believe there is a lack of support and discussion with regards to miscarriage, cp and infertility as a whole. The average person does not know how hard it is to get pregnant, nor do they know how easy it is to miscarry. I believe that is because no one talks about it.
Furthermore when I do get pregnant, God forbid if it does end in a miscarriage, I would want my family and friends to know what is going on, I would want their support. Going through something like that, I can only imagine, has got to be one of the hardest things you can go through. What?s wrong with a little extra support?
But hey I am obviously not of the norm here, because we are not hiding our TTC either. I get why a lot of people do, but we are having the opposite result. We are in our 30s and were dating for 7 years before we even got married so the ?when are you having a baby? questions started a loooong time ago. Now that people know we are at least trying, we don?t get bothered much. The people that do ask, I don?t mind telling them, because again that?s more support for us.
I realize to each is own, and everyone?s situation is different and what works for some, does not work for all. But that?s what works for us.
So yeah long story short, my confession is, we are not hiding out TTC and will announce our BFP asap!

I'm also in the boat of telling early, but we have been very open with our IF struggles and have received a lot of support, so I figure it is only fair that those who have been cheering for me get to share in the good news when we do.
My SIL is 9 weeks pregnant and she complains nonstop. She wanted a baby more than anything and now she literally complains every 3 minutes, I timed it. Thats how bad it is. She is a hypochondriac and she loves the attention for each new "illness" she gets according to WebMD. Now she will milk this for all its worth and I need earplugs. I cant tell her to STFU because then she says "oh you wouldnt understand". Ughhhhhh
My boss had a personal interest story done on her this week so a reporter/photographer followed her around for 3 days. For those 3 days she proceeded to do things that she never does to make herself look good. She then proceeded to complain that she didn't have time to get anything done this week. Maybe if you didn't around for 3 days you would be on top of things!
I'm set to do some other stuff for work this weekend and I'm planning to set it up at same time that I'm supposed to be working with my boss. I just can't handle her right now... her ego is gigantic and the whining is OOC.

Me:29 DH:30
TTC since 10/11
HSG, BW, Ultrasound, SA, Genetic testing, Karyotype - all normal
I texted MH this morning that I think the washer is broken. It's not. I just want an excuse to be unproductive today. When he gets home, it may be magically fixed.
Finished BC and not preventing since June 2010.
Actively trying for baby #1 since July 2011.
SA completed 5/29/2012. No sperm found.
11/12: Dx: Congenital Bilateral Absense of the Vas Deferens.
Genetic Testing needed as this is a mutation of Cystic Fibrosis.
IVF #1 with ICSI planned for 2013.
PAIF/SAIF welcome!
I am angry that my dog is dying especially now that I am TTC knowing the stress that I am under. I hate that I feel so guilty for letting her live but I feel even worse thinking about putting her to sleep. I wish she could just open her furry little lips and tell me what to do so I wouldn't feel so heartbroken. In all seriousness though I feel sometimes like she is hanging in there and not ready to go and then there are days like the last 3 where she has decided food is overrated and not worth eating. Pity party to me! Feels good to say it though.
I don't understand what a meme is. I thought it meant it was something AWish on the internet. My brother tried to explain it to me and I still don't understand it.

My confession is that I'm feeling very sorry for myself today. I'm jealous that DH went out to lunch with his guy friends because I don't have any female friends to hang out with here (even though we've lived here for over 2 years).
And I also confess that I feel stupid making a confession like this. Not sure why I'm so moody today; I think it's too early for PMS.

I've decided to spend most of my fun money on fertility acupuncture* because DH had some sticker shock about it and thinks we should wait.
I thought about ordering an at home sperm test kit and putting it in DH's suitcase when he leaves next week. And yes, I know they only test count and not anything else. I just feel like I want to do something.
*for all that were curious about this I'm going to post about it later (or maybe tomorrow, I'm sorta busy)
my puppy has been an indoor dog since we got him. I have been waiting and waiting for him to grow out of the tearing sh!t up phase, and it isn't getting better. In fact, I think it MAY be getting worse. He has literally chewed off a piece of trim off the wall, as well as some wall paper. I am furious, but at the same time feel like I cannot blame him for being a dog but instead blame myself for not training him properly I guess. I don't know what to do, so it looks like I will be going out this evening to look at outdoor dog kennels where he will have to start staying outside while we are not home.
My confession?? I am sitting here almost hyperventilating thinking about leaving my puppy outside!! It is seriously causing me anxiety complete with tears.

I'm so sorry. My dog, next to DH, is my world and I can't imagine not having her as I'm TTC. She's my "baby" for now.
I hope you find peace in whatever decision you make.

What about a crate?
I have tried a crate, but our two cats make him go NUTS in the crate. And if I lock him in the crate in a room the cats can't get to, the cats go nuts and tear up the carpet trying to get in there. I have been a complete failure at pet training apparently.

I think you're supposed to put a blanket over the crate so he can't see the cats. That's what my friend does. Good luck.

Have you tried crate training? It is pretty effective. You want a crate that is not to large- just enough for the dog to be able to stand up, turn around, and lay back down.

So yeah long story short, my confession is, we are not hiding out TTC and will announce our BFP asap!
I've gone through 1 1/2 boxes of wheat thins and 1 small-ish (okay, regular) tub of onion and chive cream cheese in the last two days.
That has been my dinner. I'm craving carbs like it's nobodies business.
I'm also in the boat of telling early, but we have been very open with our IF struggles and have received a lot of support, so I figure it is only fair that those who have been cheering for me get to share in the good news when we do.

I have tried a crate, but our two cats make him go NUTS in the crate. And if I lock him in the crate in a room the cats can't get to, the cats go nuts and tear up the carpet trying to get in there. I have been a complete failure at pet training apparently.
I think you're supposed to put a blanket over the crate so he can't see the cats. That's what my friend does. Good luck.

Maybe I will try that. I just know I have to do something. We paid way too much money for this house to have animals tear it to pieces.
Love this!
I say crate them all!

Have you tried crate training? It is pretty effective. You want a crate that is not to large- just enough for the dog to be able to stand up, turn around, and lay back down.
Here is a link to an article that I really like:

Have you thought about crate training him?
