Re: ~*~Sapphire Sweethearts Check-In~*~
Hey ladies
Maddielynn - hang in there - FX that AF stays away!!
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
After 32 days I finally O'd and our timing was great... The rest is not in our hands. I will probably stop temping (cuz i hate over analyizing during the 2WW) and try to just wait it out!
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking?
I do. He does man the grill though most of the time. Lately though I've even been trying that also- it's fun!
2. Who does the cleaning?
We divide it up usually, thankfully
3. Who does the yard work?
He does the grass and weed wacking, I do the weeding, planting, trimming.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs?
We don't have either of those.
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills?
He does the updating of the checkbook but each week we sit together and look at the budget to determine what needs to be paid. If we're paying online then I do that part. It's a very joint effort and it's worked well so far.
6. Who does the grocery shopping?
We almost always go together unless I just need a thing or two then I'll usually go.
I'd like to be added to the list.
My EDD was September 17, 2012
What's happening with me:
First round of clomid (50mg), currently 9dpo and trying to avoid staring at my chart all day.
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking? DH is trying to gain weight and I'm trying to lose, so most of the time we cook our own individual meals.
2. Who does the cleaning? DH, most of the time.
3. Who does the yard work? We both do. I help with trimming trees and keeping the flower beds pretty. And I supervise when he's mowing/weed-eating because otherwise he'll destroy my plants.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? He does. We only have the one furbaby, and I'm allergic to her.
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? That's about 50/50. Most of our bills were on auto-pay before we were married, so I pay some of them and he pays some. It was easier than trying to transfer things so that everything comes out of one account.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? It's just like the cooking. I shop for my food, he shops for his.
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
I am just coming to the end of my first post m/c cycle. I O'd on cd 23 and got my period on cd 34. My LP was actually the longest its been (I have a very short one), so I was thrilled about that! I also have a doc appt on the 11th to follow up on some things.
1. Who does the cooking? We normally split this one pretty evenly, but this past month, I havent really been in the mood. He grills a lot when he does cook, but lately we've had a lot of take-out.
2. Who does the cleaning? totally me on this one. You dont even want to know what our house would look like if I didnt clean.
3. Who does the yard work? We have a landscaper that mows it, but if something special needs to be done thats his problem, lol. I dont do dirt.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? Most of the time I do, but he helps with the drying.
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? That is ALL HIM. He has all our bills go to his office so he can pay them while he's there. I can log in whenever I want, we've got full disclosure on everything, but he's the one to pay things. We sometimes have talks/meetings which we jokingly call a "state of this union" so we can talk about finances.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? I would say I do most of the time... but if we make a trip to BJs or Sam's, we go together. He'll stop at the store if I ask him to though.
He's my fairytale, a dream when I'm not sleeping.
<a href="http://s279.photobucket.com/albums/kk121/behapybride/?action=viewUpdate: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
Currently in the 2ww after my first IVF. This is only the second 2ww where I have not had a glass of wine (didn't with IUI either) and this sucks!
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking? I do about 70% of it, DH does the rest.
2. Who does the cleaning? I do
3. Who does the yard work? I do 90%of it
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? I do - I think this is because I am obsessive compulsive about them being clean (without causing them skin issues) DH would let it go for a lot longer than me.
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? I do
6. Who does the grocery shopping? DH does most of it - I hate grocery shopping and I always spend way too much because I am a impulsive shopper.
I guess thinking about it, my DH works 70 hours a week and I only work 40-45. So, being home more means I do more. Ugh - I want a maid and butler!!

Good morning ladies! AF finally arrived the other day for me after a 67 day cycle with my most recent m/c. So I'm excited about that fact! We're cleared to TTC after this "normal" cycle but think that we may wait an extra cycle or two. We'll see. This is a great QOTD!
1. Who does the cooking? Mostly me, but DH helps whenever I need it.
2. Who does the cleaning? I'd say this is 50/50. I do more of the actual cleaning but DH keeps everything tidy and organized.
3. Who does the yard work? Mostly DH, but I love cutting the grass so once in a while I jump on the riding mower. I'm in charge of our veggie garden tho!
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? Mostly me, but DH is very willing to help when I need it!
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? DH 100% which is fine by me. And I have access to any money I need as long as it's available.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? Mostly me, but that's because when he goes with me he grabs items that I usually don't such as chips and various other snacks! :P
***BFP 1-22-13, baby boy dx with Trisomy 13 at 15 weeks.

Morning, dears. My EDD was 9/15/12. I had blood drawn again yesterday, so I should hear today as far as where my HCG's are at (c'mon, big fat zero!). Still waiting on AF.
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking?
I do, unless it involves the grill, in which case that's all DH
2. Who does the cleaning?
I am a little obsessive about cleaning, so that's all me, but not because DH doesn't offer.
3. Who does the yard work?
The yard and garden are 100% DH's domain.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs?
I keep our furbabies all clean and snuggly. Luckily I have a Chi who loves bathtime!
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills?
This is one is shared pretty 50/50.
6. Who does the grocery shopping?
I almost always go by myself. DH is a "we're only getting what's on the list" shopper and i like to browse
"there is no foot so small that it cannot leave an imprint on this world"
BFP #2 2.27.13 EDD 11.8.13 Grow, baby, grow!

~ all ALers welcome ~
Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc.
Not too much new to report here. I'm still waiting to here from the internist on what tests I need and when my appointment will be. I'm not feeling overly optimistic though because when I called yesterday they said they were going to do bloodwork and they're now booking appointments into the summer.
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking? Mostly me but DH does help when I need it and he does all the grilling.
2. Who does the cleaning? Mostly me but he will help on occasion. And he's good at tidying up things.
3. Who does the yard work? Him. I will help with the flower gardens and I'll be doing a lot of the vegetable garden but he does the mowing and weed wacking.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? Wait, we're supposed to bath our dog???
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? I think it's a joint effort but I do more I think. I plan the budget and transfer money and pay a lot of things but DH does pay bills sometimes too.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? Me. DH will come with me if he's free but he tends to impulse buy and I try really hard to stick with a list. But I do like having him to push the cart and bag the groceries.

GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here

I am 5dpo and we had well-timed BDing so I'm so hopeful. If this one turns into a BFP and the baby sticks, the due date will be exactly 2 years after DS's due date.
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking?
I do. He makes breakfast on Saturdays.
2. Who does the cleaning?
Me.
3. Who does the yard work?
He takes care of mowing, trimming the bushes, and mulching. I take care of my raised bed garden and any flowers I put out in the summer.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs?
He mainly does it, but if it's really bad and he doesn't have time, I do.
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills?
He manages the bank accounts and pays the bills - I input everything into our budget spreadsheet and make sure we are staying within the budget.
6. Who does the grocery shopping?
I do all of it. If I even try to send him out to get something, he gets lost and comes home with strange things.
I am in the 2ww, but don't think it is my month - poor timing. I have an appt. tomorrow with a new OB.
1. Who does the cooking? We share it. I do more probably, but DH likes to BBQ during the summer and make crock pot meals during the winter. Honestly, we eat out too much!
2. Who does the cleaning? Um - we share some rooms and then split others. We try to have someone come and do the hard cleaning (major dusting, etc) every other month.
3. Who does the yard work? Our gardener, although lately DH has been on a kick to pull weeds! I do some care of the flowers, but the lawn gets mowed by someone else.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? We don't have any! : (
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? We each have separate accounts and then a joint one. DH pays most of the bills from the joint account.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? Mostly me.
BFP #2 - 7/1/12 - Met my lucky charm Alexandra on 3-16-13!!!

Update: Please update us on any testing, dr. appts, milestones, etc. Nothing new as far as testing. AF finally came back while we were on vacation. Right now we're at a crossroads: OB won't do any testing unless we have a 3rd loss. We're so hesitatnt to ttc right now because I feel certain there is a problem and don't know if I could handle a 3rd loss. Not sure if we should be getting a second opinion or how we should proceed from here.
GTKY DH/SO Edition: (curious about gender roles here
)
1. Who does the cooking? We're about 50/50. I can admit that dh is a better cook, though!
2. Who does the cleaning? Again, 50/50. He always does the floors while I do dusting and stuff like that. We split the laundry.
3. Who does the yard work? That's mostly dh. I actually like mowing but he prefers to do it.
4. Who bathes the furbabies/LOs? Wow, dh again. Hmmm, I'm impressed!
5. Who manages the bank account/pays the bills? We actually split this.
6. Who does the grocery shopping? That's me, I love couponing!
Hope all of you ladies are having a great week!
