1. I'm recovering. Connor started puking on Friday at daycare, Jocelyn followed, then I got hit Saturday night right before I worked a 24-hr shift on Sunday. Feeling better though!
2. Highlight: Honestly, nothing due to illness and work!
Lowlight: Vomit. Lots of it.
3. I was looking forward to today's clinic and it was great. I'm looking forward to lunch at Rick's Boathouse tomorrow interviewing residency candidates.
4. I'd like to lose 10 lbs and/or tone my tummy. The 2nd kid wasn't kind to it.
1. How are you? Cd20. Still waiting for a positive opk. We will try for a BFP even though our odds are really slim without medical help. Waiting for IVF 6 in late April/may.
2. Weekend highlight / lowlight? Highlight- since I started back to work in October, I really needed some new clothes and had been putting off buying any. I went shopping and bought some clothes!! Lowlight- nothing comes to mind.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Nothing comes to mind,
4. What is one (or more!) goal(s) you have for this year? Other than the obvious... Get pregnant and stay pregnant. I would like to get a new car, go on a nice vacation with Dh, go to a concert or two... Just try to enjoy life as much as possible and not spend every dime on Fertilty treatments.

2. Weekend highlight / lowlight? - Nothing too exciting. My parents left Saturday morning and after two weeks of traveling / family, we were just ready to get back into the swing of our normal routine.
3. What are you looking forward to this week? - I was looking forward to swim lessons (we went on Monday)! Eli LOVES water so for Christmas we signed him up for baby swim classes at the YMCA. He had a huge grin on his face the whole time.
4. What is one (or more!) goal(s) you have for this year? - I plan on buying a bicycle and baby trailer this year and spending lots of time outdoors with Eli. Bonus to bike-riding is that it includes another goal of getting in shape. I'd also like to TTC #2.
2. Weekend highlight / lowlight? Highlight - Went to Cheeseburger in Paradise for my birthday. Oh I love that place - amazing drinks! Lowlight - our dogs decided not to listen to me and to leave the yard - i was outside with them. (still waiting on HOA approval for a fence) I'm so fed up with this HOA and getting approval for the fence. It's been going on for almost2 months!!
3. What are you looking forward to this week? Well, tomorrow is my Friday! A whole bunch of not much :-)
4. What is one (or more!) goal(s) you have for this year? Get pregnant with our first child. Lose some more weight. Build up our savings account. Some other stuff here and there.
