Second, GL to those of you TTCing or awaiting results.
T&Ps to those who need them.
Last but not least, Dragonfly, enjoy your long weekend before your babies arrive next week!

Hope all of you are getting Monday off? Any big plans? BBQ/get-togethers? Anyone traveling? If so, wishing you safe travels!
Re: Happy Friday! Plans for Memorial Day weekend?
We have crappy weather for the whole weekend (rainy in the 50sF, yuck), so we scratched our plan for a Sunday picnic. Instead, sis-in-law is coming over for lunch on Sunday.
Tonight I'm going to the ballet. I've been sick for the past few days so although I'm looking forward to the ballet, part of me just want to stay home and go to bed early.
Sat we may go out to buy a convertible seat for M... he's going to outgrow his infant seat soon. If we don't do it this weekend, we'll have to do it next weekend. We'll see.
DH doesn't get Monday off, so it's really just a regular weekend for us. Boo.
Failed multiple cycles of Clomid+TI and Clomid+IUI

Our IVF miracle, Baby Boy M, arrived on 11/8/2012!
Our plans got changed due to DH injuring his foot. He dropped an old stove on it Wednesday night, just barely missing the steel toe in his boot and he's been on crutches since. Nothing broken, just one really big hematoma. This weekend is the 10 year anniversary of his tractor accident that nearly killed him and the death of his grandfather he was close to. He wanted to take a solo fishing trip to the place they spread his grandfather's ashes and fish with him, but he can't do that now. Instead, we are going to hang out with his brother and SIL Saturday.
This is my last weekend before returning to work and I'm not looking forward to it. Leaving H at the daycare doesn't bother me, it's the fact that I have to go back to a place that's toxic and negative. It's only 8 days teaching and one inservice day, but I'm still dreading it.

Well, my baby's birthday is today and we are having a huge party for him! I'm hoping the weather is nice and warm since I have pretty much all outdoor activities planned for the other kids and some of them involve water! Fingers crossed!
My parents are also going to stay the weekend and help us do some landscaping.
Looking forward to seeing family and friends and celebrating
Saturday I have a friend from Toronto coming down, she hasn't seen Hannah yet so I'm excites for that.
Sunday is church and then I have a bridal shower for my good friend. I'm her maid of honour.

No big plans this weekend. My mom and one of her friends are coming for a visit tomorrow. The weather is supposed to be crappy tomorrow and Sunday so we will probably lay low and maybe do a trip to BBB at some point on Sunday. We will do a little cookout with just us on Monday and maybe do some planting outside depending on how cooperative Liam is! Have a great weekend girls!

My MIL's bday is Sunday and I am baking her cupcakes, which will be my first time baking in months when I was PG I could barely stand up for 5 mins before getting short of breath and we are going outlet shopping on Monday. I'm also hoping to be able to take the boys out on a little excursion somewhere. A busy and fun weekend!
I hope everyone has a great weekend

Our boys couldn't wait to meet us! Colin and Kieran arrived March 26, 2013 at 33w1d.
We were off today so we went to see hangover 3. It was hilarious! Tomorrow will be just typical house duties. Sunday we are going to the ILs for a BBQ. And Monday theoretically I will be meeting a friend for lunch and shopping without the LO and MH will stay here to watch her. Theoretically. It will be my first time out of the house alone to do something for me since before Christmas. Yikes, I need to work on that.
