Well, unfortunately I had a high and a low. My high was DH and I completely rearranged our living room and then went and bought a new sectional couch/love seat. YAY!!
My low was after being late and waking up Saturday morning to POAS, I woke up to AF instead. Again with another broken heart.
No positive OPKs here. However, DH and I went to see Avatar Friday evening and I had a couple of glasses of wine Saturday evening. Both were good.
My biggest highlight, I suppose, however, was hearing from BFF that her baby was born Sunday morning. A beautiful little girl. After at least 3 mcs, a diagnosis of MTHFR and over two years of trying their long awaited baby finally made her appearance!

The highlight of my weekend was finding out about a new job for DH. It is with a good company, doing something that he likes doing, and starting out making pretty much what he made at his old company after being there for 7 years!
With this news, we have an actual timeline of when we can start TTC!!

Date night with DH Sunday night only to come home and lock ourselves out of our apartment. Poor DH had to go on the roof and climb down the fire escape with a crowbar and then pry a window that we left unlocked open.
My highlight was spending time with my 7yo nephew yesterday! He melts my heart! Also, my RE apt on Saturday was a highlight since I saw 2 growing follies and I knew I'd have an IUI on Tuesday!
Went to visit my grandmother on Saturday. Got to hear about two of my cousins who were either pregnant or just had babies. (Unstable cousins I might add and both unwanted pregnancies, unfair I tell ya!) It was nice to see my grandmother though.
I worked and put up cabinet handles (still a work in progress), had +OPK on Thursday, but DH was not feeling well, we BD on Sunday when I told DH that I was Ovulating. So hopefully we will have a +HPT in a couple of weeks!

Sad but true. I did nothing.

Painful pleasure - throwing a baby shower for my very pregnant little sister.
Painful because I'm ohhhh sooooo jealous!
Pleasure because she was so stinkin' cute and and I'm so excited to meet my nephew!
