We're going down the shore tomorrow, and tomorrow night we'll drown our sorrows in alcohol at roller derby. (I'm exagerating, but you get the point.) We booked a night in a b&b for Saturday night to make it more of a mini getaway. Sunday we may go to the movies and get a giant size diet pepsi.
TTC with PCOS since July 2011.
IVF Oct/Nov 2012
Beta #1 = 77, Beta #2 = 190, Beta #3 = 1044
Cautiously optimistic.
Fri: I am drpping Ky off with MIL after work. Home to start cleaning.
Sat: Cleaning, laundry, shopping sans baby...sigh. We are having some friends over to play cards. It was originaly supposed to be one other couple and us but now there are like 3 other couples plus our friend K...all invited without even asking me.
Sun: Sleep in? Pick up Ky at some point and relax at home.
Tomorrow is a t-ball extravaganza day - opening ceremonies, team pictures, and their first game...its all spread out and will take in total about 4-5 hours. You think 13 five year olds can sit through all that?? yeah, me neither. Should be interesting!
Sunday TBD - DW wants to work for a few hours and there is a daffodil festival a few towns over that we might check out (am I crazy enough to bring 3 kids to a crowded festival on my own? maybe...)
Tomorrow - Kids have swimming in the morning and then I don't know. L is working on trying to start schedule interviews for her dissertation and after sending it out to 100+ people she's gotten a lot of "good lucks" but no takers. I am hoping that she can find someone to at least screen for being a potential interview. No idea what else we will do. We need to book our summer vacations and we need to get on planning the details for the kids' birthday party.
Sunday - Once again, no idea. I have given thought to taking the kids to the Science Expo downtown - but not sure if I want to do that - it is going to be an all day thing if we do. We need to do errands and get ready for the week.
My weekend is going to consist of finishing my final papers. Hopefully by Monday all will be submitted and I will have survived my first semester of my MSW. I cannot wait until fall and actually get to get my "hands dirty" in the field again.
DW's weekend is an all day PAID work training tomorrow. It was quite a bit of money and the baby fund needs some serious help. So yay for the occasional paid training. We both got offered to proctor the SATs next weekend but MIL will be in town so there goes 250 bucks...boo!!!
Hopefully Sunday I will be done enough work we can go on a date.
We had three BFN in the Fall of 2011. It is back on to some baby making come June. Swim little fellas, SWIM!!!!

My MIL has all three grandkids this weekend and is taking them to a farm festival thing on Sunday. Ky and R are six weeks apart so basically twin toddler and S is 4 months...nuts.
Very excited because this is the NO PROJECT ONLY US weekend.
Tonight we'll probably eat out and go to the cinema.
Tomorrow will probably be some quick Saturday morning (maybe afternoon - a lie in is in order!) tidying, taking the dogs for a long walk. Absolutely nothing planned, so we'll play it by ear.
Sunday is yoga for me and a double header softball game for her. Sunday night will probably be a nice BBQ and salad on the deck - although denver's supposed to get rain and storms the whole weekend, so maybe we'll grill outside and eat indoors. Thank goodness for our all weather grill We've been known to grill in a foot of snow.

Tonight Mel has her last quiz of the semester. It will be such a relief to get that done. Also she's getting a new job--hopefully HR calls today. It's alot more money & the hours are IDEAL for what we need with the babies. The only down side is that it's every weekend, but it's day shift and now the only schedule conflict for day care is every other weekend when I'm working, which her mom will watch them & she will be home with them all week. We are VERY happy to not need daycare. We toured a couple facilities "just in case" & it made us want to vomit.
The rest of the weekend will be all about tasking. We only have 3 weeks of maternity leave left & have a lot of little things we want to see done before returning to work.

Very excited for Saturday. Nothing during the day, except for
relaxing with Trav and Gwen, but then dinner out with 4 of my favorite
girls from college, one is coming down from RI for it... sushi and
martinis. Yay!
Sunday have to work, but its a super nice brunch and I get fed, so that's not so bad.
Monday I took a mental health day! I have a few things I want to get done around the house, but otherwise I'm just relaxing and reading!!!
Maybe I don't have a heightened sense of smell, but I've never smelled any vagina on my pants. -- TSD
Tonight: waiting on the hubby to get home and finish doing the extra work he always does.. gonna make some biscuits and gravy and then curl up on the couch to watch a movie.
Tomorrow: hubby works and then is bringing his brother here to work on more various projects. Perhaps I will go shopping with the sister in law, and play with my perfect nephew.
Sunday: maybe we will have a romantic day to ourselves?? We will see. I will probably spend too many hours trying to dream up the perfect nursery.
I just mowed the lawn and I'm making pork chops with cranberry sauce and asparagus for dinner.
We have no plans tomorrow. I have this stupid to-do list I've been chipping away at forever and I'm going to finish it, and organize our pantry. Maybe dinner out somewhere quick; Jen gets too uncomfortable at most sit-down places to last the whole meal.
Sunday we're taking my mom out to a fancy tea to celebrate Mother's Day since we expect to have our hands full of babies by May 13th. I'm going to try to knock out a few more chapters of our baby care book and read the rest of To Have And Have Not.
Well it's Saturday evening, but I'm hopping on to say hi. We're in Michigan for the weekend for C's graduation. I'm so proud of my Dr. C! So we're just seeing friends and having a great time, and heading back tomorrow afternoon.
