Today - I am working and dialing like a maniac. I have 40 calls I want to get completed and so far I have done about 18. Tonight we are going to pick up the house and do dinner and a movie at home. M has been adding things to our instant watch queue on netflix like crazy so I can quickly find things while I am at home.
Saturday - Sleep in and then M's best friend from college and her husband are coming to see us. Their son turns one tomorrow so we are going to do a little lunch celebration just the 5 of us as we won't be able to make the birthday party at the end of the month. We will probably hang out for a bit and then just relax and chill. I know M has it on her agenda to finish the front bathroom (we got the tile work done it just needs a good scrubbing).
Sunday - FOOTBALL!!!! Playoff time baby! Then we are going to BBB to get new bathroom stuff for the front bathroom as it is finished!

****loss discussed*****
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs: IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014 BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225) 2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition. BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255 1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!!

The weekend is almost over but I still have big plans!
Fridaywent to cocktail party for my coworker who is getting married. It was fun to go out and dress up!
Saturday wife and I washed the cars and the Vespas. Then it poured rain! We then drove to Carmel Valley for a beautiful wedding. It rained the whole time but it was still nice. It gave me lots of ideas for our wedding ceremony in 6 months! It was an eco wedding where everything was recycled or made from sustainable materials. Made me think I should spend more time on the knot to do some planning!
Sunday listening to the Colts play right now. Today we will see friends who are moving away. They aren't able to attend our wedding because it coincides with the birth of their second child. Then this afternoon I'm starting a second job. I'm thinking about wedding and fertility costs and trying to have a cushion!
This weekend has gone too fast! I hope it is goin well for all of you.
