Share your Ten Things on this Tuesday!!!

LiteraryJinx · February 2013

1. Since I signed up for this crochet class I've been shopping for yarn. This could quickly become an obsession.

2. I have also been looking at patterns. There is some adorable stuff out there.

3. I want another kitten.

4. It is a cold, dreary day here. I am ready for spring.

5. Does anyone watch Castle? I love that show. Last night was so good, even though I predicted a lot of what would happen before it did.

6. I need to eat lunch.

7. Work has been busy lately which is great! I like being busy.

8. I've been looking at summer vacation destinations and shopping for maternity swim suits. Cart before horse much?

9. I am glad this board is active! I love seeing all the new faces.

10. I need to clean when I get home. Blech.

I love TTT!

1. DW and I were able to get out and hike for several hours yesterday and it was SO NICE. I miss the sun and you don't realize how much you can miss Vitamin D until the sun finally shows up in February. It was a much needed hike.

2. Today is the POLAR OPPOSITE of yesterday as far as the weather is concerned. It is gloomy and (Michigan) is expecting another winter storm...yay...

3. My Mom is back in the hospital today. She has struggled with breathing problems and was just released from a two week hospital stay on Friday. She now has a horrible intestinal infection. I feel horrible that I can't help.

4. I was able to get a full month of work in for February, so we are finally expecting a great paycheck from my work. We are thrilled to continue paying off our debt so we can actively start trying to conceive.

5. DW and I are planning a (nearly) month long backpacking adventure in May. I can not wait. We usually take a long trip around that time of year and it is always much needed.

6. I think I am getting a chest infection Time to make some freshly squeezed veggie/fruit juice

7. I started working out again to Jillian Michaels...I love her workouts

8. The LGBT board is the only board I read anymore on the bump

9. I'm freezing right now

10. I miss my DW...she is on duty until tomorrow morning

trisholio · February 2013

1. I got accepted into college today!!!

2. I have never attended any college and I am scared out of my mind!!

3. Its annoying to fill out forms and have to lie about being married. I am legally married to my wife but because of DOMA the federal government doesn't see it that way.

4. I am really hoping that I qualify for financial aid and don't have to take out a bunch of loans.

5. I have another job interview on Friday for a short term nanny position. It would work out great that I could work for a few months and then start school this summer.

6. We are moving forward to start the process of becoming foster parents. We start the training in April

7. We are hoping that our roommate moves out by the end of April or sooner. We are trying to find an assisted living facility for her to move into. Her health is getting worse, not better.

8. Having a roommate sucks and is a huge drain emotionally and financially. I am doing my best to bite my tongue, but its becoming harder each day.

9. I am hungry and nothing sounds good that we have in the house

10. The weather blows!! But I am looking forward to my DW getting home and we are going to have a fire later and cuddle on the couch :-)

Congrats!

1. Meeting with a lawyer in about an hour to get things started with the second parent adoption. Hoping we made the right choice, but she kind of stuck out to me right away because she always got back to me very fast and is in town which makes things easier.

2. Can't WAIT for our roommate to move out in a couple weeks. There has been a lot of drama, and it finally came to a point where, even though her lease is up March 31st, we gave her a 30-day notice to move out 16 days earlier.

3. I started the nursery, sort of. When we moved in there was a wooden bench that we learned they wanted to make into a toy box, but didn't finish and just screwed a piece of wood on it. Got that off and saw garbage dumped in there and insulation exposed.

4. Due to #3, I bought my first power saw and used it last weekend!

5. I had to cancel my epilepsy appointment because they like to schedule them on days I can't drive down to the cities, so I rescheduled for Friday.

6. Yesterday, I found out I have an opportunity to make some money this weekend, so I rescheduled my appointment again.

7. Yay extra money!

8. We got a fetal doppler monitor yesterday in the mail and got to hear the baby at home. So cool!

9. I watched a video of a Siberian Husky and a baby imitating each other and can't help but wonder if my Siberian will do that, since she likes to talk back.

10. I had another pregnancy dream (since my partner and I joke I am "more pregnant" than she is symptom-wise). I dreamt we had the baby on April 13th and it was a little girl. Then realized the next day (in the dream) that I had forgotten my mom's birthday (April 13th) and felt bad. So weird.

Tried to type this one faster than normal, so I probably forgot stuff I wanted to talk about.

YAY TTT day!

1. My brother in law's grandfather passed away this week so we are watching their dog while they are out of town. He is cute but he is REALLY needy...very unlike our dogs who sleep a lot :-) Its been a rough 24 hours and he's here until tomorrow afternoon.

2. The weather is making me very sad...it has been rainy and cold and I am ready for spring (I feel like I say that every week)

3. C and I leave tomorrow afternoon for a little "time out" trip. We are going to Hocking Hills and I CANNOT wait to get away! We need this much needed escape!

4. I am in the middle of my 2nd TWW. It is pretty awful especially since I think we missed my O day...I am pretty upset about it but trying to stay positive.

5. I am almost finished with my first crochet project. I have been a knitter for a while but have always wanted to crochet. I am excited to learn new patterns.

6. I have so much packing to do (I am NOT a light packer) and I have 1/3 of a packing list...I really need to get moving.

7. I have been watching the HBO show "Big Love" and I have been getting the seasons from the library. I REALLY love it, but I am almost finished with the last season and I'm unsure what I'll watch next

8. Yesterday I went to a water aerobics class and was very surprised how sore I am today.

9. C and I are going to a Zumba class tonight...I love Zumba as long as I don't catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and then I am a little embarrassed with what I see :-) but it sure it fun!

10. Super pumped that my guilty pleasure shows are on tonight (Pretty Little Liars and Dance Moms)

Happy Tuesday!

I am glad that I am not the only one that loves TTT!!!

And my DW and I went to Hocking Hills last year for a long weekend. It was awesome. The only downside is that we had NO cell service and that makes me nervous. I don't like to be unavailable for emergencies. So by the 4th day I was getting a little anxious. But I want to go back soon!!!

1. Best of luck with your lawyer! I'm sure you made the right choice for your family!

2. Make sure you give her the notice in writing!

9. I saw that video, and it was awesome! (Now, go directly to youtube and look up Taylor Swift Goat Video. HILARIOUS!)

I would kill for a place without service for a while! DW and I go backpacking and it is almost certain that the SECOND we hit a cell signal, we get a call from one of our family members needing something!

Twinkler2011 · February 2013

I haven't participated in a TTT for a long time!

1. A has her 34 week appointment tonight after work. I still love Dr appointment days because I get to hear Bubba's heart beat!

2. Work is extra stressful this week, so I'm bumping at work.....I need a break!

3. We finally visited the dog park they opened in our town. Our furbaby Phoebe did so well and played nice too!

4. I can?t wait till the next nice day to go back to the park, the dogs and kids both wore themselves out playing last night....score for these Momma's!

5. I'm starting to feel old, technology is pissing me off today!

6. A, baked spaghetti last night and it was a new recipe. It was terrible but i choked it down anyway so that I didnt hurt her feelings.

7. I?m taking A on a surprise baby moon this weekend, she has no idea where we are going. I love surprising her.

8. Is it bad that I hope our little man doesn't come to early because I want my mother?s ring to have a diamond in it hahaha j/k (kinda) EDD 4/5

9. I've officially began finals week this week. Then I'm off for 2 months to devote more time in helping with the baby.

10. I hope we eat out tonight and I even more hope A doesn't pick Panera Bread (it?s been her pregnancy must have) I can?t eat it anymore!

We go to Hocking Hills every year for our anniversary. We always stay at the Getaway Cabins. We love it there!!!

trisholio:

1. I got accepted into college today!!!

3. Its annoying to fill out forms and have to lie about being married. I am legally married to my wife but because of DOMA the federal government doesn't see it that way.

Congrats on #1!!

#3 - I feel EXACTLY the same way, sometimes I just want to make a point of it, but I'm too polite and don't want to screw up their systems. Sigh.

Ahhh, my TTT:

1. Work is SOOOO stressful right now. I can't decide if the stress is going to send me in to labor (which might be nice to just get away from it all), or if the stress is going to keep me from ever going into labor on my own. I guess we'll see. Per usual when I told this to my MW, he laughed at me.

2. MW visit today (just shy of 38 weeks) went great. All good under the hood.

3. I'm going to miss being pregnant, I think. I will NOT miss not drinking beer and wine.

4. I think we finally have a viable option for pet-care when I go into labor. Yay Wifey! That makes me feel much better.

5. I finally got off my a$$ and contacted a lawyer about 2nd parent adoption. I had been waiting for our first choice to get back to me, but the time came to just go in another direction. Now we just have to find a time when we can meet with him. With S's work schedule, that could be challenging.

6. I procrastinated doing something at work, and really put it off for too long. It's biting me in the arse now, and my boss is really being a jerk about it. He's the kind of guy that gets on a roll too, so now EVERYTHING is suspect in his eyes and he's slamming me with emails and questions.

7. Funny thing about #6, when I finally email him with answers and a need for approval, he takes forever to get back to me. Hmmmm.

8. I'm stoked about our Newborn Care and Breastfeeding class this weekend. I feel like if we can just get through that before going into labor, we'll be set.

9. I finally ordered our Glider for the nursery last weekend. I've seriously been going back and forth on this purchase for MONTHS (since Thanksgiving). I was so excited to be done with it. Today I got a call from the store telling me that our fabric choice (really our only viable option) is unavailable. ARGH!!!

10. Have I mentioned that work is stressful and I'd just like to be done with it??

Manada · February 2013

Yay! TTT! I love this too

1. I am going to have to write a separate post congratulating people and commiserating! I'll do it, but in the meantime - yay Trisholio!

2. We started our injectable meds today - we're on 150iu of Puregon (Follitism in the US) a day - H. gave me the injection and does that stuff ever burn! Could feel it for a good 30 minutes afterwards!

3. We had an emergency run back to the clinic this am with our Puregon because we found out at 5pm last night that our insurance doesn't cover the pen cartridges for it, we now draw it up with a syringe, NBD.

4. I decided last weekend to learn the Ukulele. All I want to do is go home and practice!

5. I made myself a case for said ukulele last weekend and while it's not perfect, or that pretty on the inside - I taught myself how to install a zipper - and am proud of that alone!

6. We went to a local LGBT TTC support group last night and it was so nice to meet other people who are also going through the same emotional roller coasters!

7. H. took me to the Indigo Girls last week and it was great! Such a wonderful anniversary.

8. I may develop an addiction to FabricLand --the experience of walking around in there was very similar to being in a library for me.

9. I am a book nerd (if you didn't already know that). Libraries are good for me.

10. My life is a musical - we are always singing, and I love it!

We'll have to check those out! It such a quick trip for us distance wise so we are really excited we are so close.

jenheartsmonsters · February 2013

College, lawyers, ukuleles-- gotta love TTT!

1. Biggest news: we had our anatomy scan (everything looked good) and found out the sex: we're having a boy!

2. Here's a tip: if you do an internet search for the phrase "raising a feminist son" the results are mostly jerks ranting about how women are emasculating men and raising a feminist boy is tantamount to child abuse.

3. Last week I was puking my brains out and only made it into work with the help of Zofran and a severely restricted diet. I commented to my partner that it's weird that I've puked more than her since she got pregnant. (I've had the flu twice.)

4. It's getting difficult to focus on clients, school, and studying for my licensing exam because all I want to think about is BABY!

5. Now that we know we're having a boy, I'm wondering about the circumcision issue. I don't want to do it, but I know there will be pressure to do it.

6. Less than a week until my eight year anniversary with my partner! We're doing the official Facebook announcement of the pregnancy that day.

7. I am rereading _Flowers for Algernon_, which I have not read since elementary school. (Yes, I have always been a nerd.) I was very young when I read it-- so young that my mother had to help me-- and rereading it I am realizing what an influential book this was for my mother. It's helping me understand her better.

8. Since being sick last week I've been off of caffeine, and I find I'm sleeping much better. I guess I should getting sleep while I can.

9. I'm fantasizing about moving. We live in a fairly small cape cod style house with one tiny bathroom and a cramped living room. I just don't know where we'll put all the baby stuff! So I fantasize about finished basements and master bedrooms with luxurious bathrooms en suite.

10. I really, really love carbs. I know they will keep me forever fat, but god help me I just don't care.

After meeting with the lawyer, I feel way better about her, and found out she has some really interesting connections to two different people I know! Small world!

Yes, the notice is in writing, signed, and copied in my file.

The Justin Beiber goat one is better. =D

I am SO nervous about the no cell service...i do everything on my phone. We have a phone in the cabin for emergencies but I am a little worried!

healz413 · February 2013

1. I wish the Puregon didn't sting Manada, because I like giving the injections and could enjoy it more if it wasn't hurting her.

2. Our dog is adorable.

3. The snow is really coming down out there. We are supposed to get 15-20cm tonight (that's in Canadian) and I'm hoping that the university will be closed tomorrow.

4. This week is overflowing with meetings and appointments, and I really should be working on my dissertation.

5. I had a consultation with a genetic counselor about my breast cancer risk because of my family history of breast cancer. I'm glad to have more information and to know more about my options for early mammograms and MRIs.

6. I love cheese. A lot

7. I talked with my brother on the phone for over an hour today. That was nice.

8. I identify with jenheartsmonsters since I'm worried that I will not be able to get any work done once we're growing a baby because I will be so busy thinking about baby things.

9. To be honest, #8 is often a problem even now when we aren't growing a baby yet.

10. Last night at our queer in/fertility group meeting, we heard two stories of people who split with long-term partners because when push came to shove the partners didn't want babies. I am so glad that M and I are in the same boat in terms of babies

JoySeattle · February 2013

1. Midwifery appointment today!

2. Heartbeat! Love!

3. Maternity clothes shopping is becoming a reality.

4. Trying not to feel guilty about the lack of belly shots yet. This week though!

5. Big Birthday on Thursday. I'm looking forward to brunch with a friend, spa day (massage, pedi and blow out) and then dinner out at my favorite restaurant with C.

6. Not sure what the weekend holds. Most likely a combo of cleaning, relaxing, shopping and maybe something fun.

7. Also not sure if my MIL is coming to visit in the next month. Communication in C's family is so different than mine, but I try to just let them do their thing and go along with whatever.

8. #7 may impact our tentative b-day babymoon.

9. So tired after an early morning and long day, but really want to do some stuff before bed.

10. Citrus is my favorite right now.

trisholio · February 2013

I wish we would have had a phone in the cabin, but they only had one in the office. But the office was only open limited hours over the weekend. One of my biggest fears is something happening to someone in my family and I am not able to be reached. Its one of the reasons that I wake up many nights and always check my phone. I have issues, I know :-)

I am super excited for you guys, I really hope you are able to relax and have a good time.

Nope, I totally understand, I am the same way...I understand your issues...I experience them too! Thanks! We are really looking forward to it. I have a lot to do today but haven't really been motivated to start yet...

mollykelley · February 2013

I missed TTT yesterday, but fun reading all of yours today!

1. I was so sick yesterday, I didn't look at a computer after 2pm. These estrogen pills gave me a massive migraine and I was on the floor of my office (thank God for my office door). When I started puking audibly, my sweet coworker ran in to hold my hair back. She is so sweet. She said, "maybe you're pregnant!" and all I could do was cry. My wife came to get me shortly after.

2. Despite #1 I went with wife to lawyer yesterday for co-parenting contract and other docs. Good thing we got this done this week or else they won't do K's procedures on Friday.

3. I went to bed last night at 6pm and wathced Ru Paul Drag Race. That is my guilty pleasure and sometimes the only thing that makes me feel better.

4. I am now using estrogen patches instead of pills, hopefully it will be better.

5. My boss called yesterday morning and asked if I would go to Taiwan in mid-March for work. I told her I would have to check my calendar and call her back, even though I knew the answer is no. Still I hung up and took a deep breath, and called her back to say it wouldn't work. I didn't have to tell her way but my transfer is a few days before and we aren't taking any chances!

6. I'm very excited that my mom is coming for my transfer, I have to be on bed rest for two days. It will be good to hang out with her and finalize some wedding planning for our family ceremony in June.

7. K and I are a total mess with our shots. Last night I had to wake up and get out of bed to help her because she couldn't figure out the syringe. It takes us 30 minutes every evening sitting there giving each other shots. Last night she said, "I understand now why IVF is a last resort!" So praying this works...

8. We are going to a rock climbing class this weekend and to Yosemite next weekend. My wife doesn't realize how this IVF stuff is going to slow her down. I'm thinking one of the two is going to fall off the calendar!

9. Psych eval papers get signed tomorrow for IVF approval!

10. Before I got sick yesterday, I competed in a Toastmasters competition and won! I have to give the speech again tonight in another club.
