~*~*May Flowers Check-In*~*~

ChloBub

This check-in is for all of us who had May EDDs (in any year).If you?re checking in with us this week for the first time, please tell us your screen name and EDD and I?ll add you to the list below.

Good morning ladies! Less than 2 weeks left in May. Big ((((HUGS)))) to those of you who had EDDs this past week.

This week...
BarooGirl: I'm going to the flower market to buy some lilies of the valley for your angel baby on the 25th.
I'll also be leaving Thursday for my Los Angeles trip to celebrate my 26th EDD.

If you haven't yet let me know how I can do something for you and your baby, you're welcome to do so. Every night there's an EDD, I will light a candle and say a small prayer (thanks, VineyardMel, for this idea!), but I am also happy to do more if you have any special ideas. Please check out my blog throughout the month; I will be posting all of the things I do to celebrate our little ones.

How are you doing this week? Any appointments/plans/goals you?d like to share? 

QOTW: What kind of books do you like to read? (I'm needing some recommendations for my trip!)

TTCAL Updates: Let me know if your information is wrong or if I don't have your update. Also, if you don't have your chart linked, or don't chart, I'd love to know your CD so I can at least keep up with you that way.

Waiting to O: cg0112358, egsquared, pb127, me (ChloBub)

Good morning! I'm really happy I got a +OPK yesterday and today. My temp is rising slowly, and I usually get a more dramatic rise after O, so I don't think I have yet, but FF might think otherwise. I'm just glad I will O before my trip. I *think* I'm going to just leave my thermometer at home! (gasp!) Sorry, stalkers!

QOTW: My 2 favorite authors are John Grisham and Philippa Gregory. They're pretty different from each other (legal thrillers vs. historical fiction), but they both tell great stories. I also really love children's and young adult fiction. I've read books by Alma Flor Ada and Pam Munoz Ryan with my students, and I think I love them even more than they do.

Next week's check-in will be late because I'll be on the West Coast AND because I get to meet Funnygirl34 and Aussiedaze that day! I'll wait and post the check-in so you can see our picture.

Good morning Chlo!  I'm pretty sure I'm in my 2ww as FF gave me solid CHs 5 days ago and I had a little bit of a dip today.  So we'll see!  Hugs to all of the MayFlowers today!

QOTD: I'm not much of a bookworm at all but I do enjoy Nicholas Sparks.  Easy reading and beautiful stories.

EDIT:  I would also like to add that I'm going to try to allow myself to be hopeful this cycle.  I just reviewed my FF history and all of my cycles where I was pregnant, I had a nicely, noticable temp dip anywhere from 5dpo to 8 dpo.  It's time I let myself become excited and hopeful about TTCAL.  Today I am TTC and I am happy

Hey Chlo, I was browsing through your latest in your Emerald blog and you are just such an unbelievably compassionate person!  My heart jumped for joy when I saw that teddy bear that will eventually go to a child in need.  You are so incredible and such an inspiration!  God bless you!

Hi Chlo,

I can't thankyou enough for remembering and honoring my little boy last week.

This week AF is here- she came on my babys birthday

Favorite reading: I'm going to sound pretty nerdy but I read mostly non fiction books. I like to read biographys, history and I study alot of different subjects for fun. I warned you, nerdy.

Anyways, enjoy your trip!

Good morning everyone!

I'm doing good this week!  As Chlo said, I'm in my TWW and am very happy about that.  I'm feeling hopeful and praying that this is our month, but also know that at least we'll figure out a plan if it's not (my RE follow-up is Wednesday!!)  I'm very nervous for my appointment but know it'll be good.  I can't wait to meet Aussiedaze and Chlo on the 28th!  It'll be a great distraction since it's the day before my EDD.

QOTW: I'm not a huge reader either, but when I do I just really enjoy a good story.  I finished all the Hunger Games books in about 4 days.  (I definitely recommend them if you haven't read them Chlo!)

Love you guys!

Hi ladies!  Hope you're all having a good Monday!

I'm on CD11 following my c/p and I'm still bleeding!  It's down to just a few spots on a pad and when I wipe, but come on!  Enough already!  I have a beta scheduled for tomorrow, so hopefully that's down to zero (it was 10 last Tuesday). 

QOTW: So, I typically just read Nora Roberts type romance novels, and I'll try almost anything that's free for Kindle.

Yay for the dip! FX a BFP is on the way! And thanks for your sweet words about my blog. I've been really blessed throughout the month; I'm glad I've been able to find joy instead of dreading each day. ((HUGS))

Boo for AF, especially on Titus' birthday.  I hope it's the last one for a long time! ((HUGS))

Ugh, so sorry about the bleeding! FX it stops soon. (((HUGS)))

Hi ladies! I am waiting for AF after this bust cycle. What a waste. The test left me with no more answers than before. I don't have HSV and have never been exposed. Now I just have a bill to pay. Hopefully cycle 5 is the one.

QOTW: I am no help, I like to read children's novels. My students love the Percy Jackson series, and I just read The Grimm Legacy. 

RequiresExalted

Not much to update here.  Still waiting for AF so I can schedule my Hysteroscopy.

QOTW: I generally like sci-fi, or fantasy books.  I'm currently reading the Game of Thrones series.

*hugs to all*
