Happy New Year again to PAIF ladies! Sorry this post is late but I have been having issues with TB since last night.
Hope the new year brings GL to those TTCing. T&Ps to those who need them. And welcome to all the new mamas of 2013.

@TJ1979 - For some reason I REALLY thuoght you were having a boy. I am still wrapping my head around a girl. HAHAH.
I'm with you @pb_bride. I am in CT and it's FREEZING here.
I was supposed to do Happy Hour with friend tonight but we bagged it b/c of the weather. No crazy plans this weekend; we have to pick up a new car for DH tomorrow (his lease was up).... and I need to take my tree and decor down.
I think DH is going out tomorrow night, which I'm really not too happy about but Molly and I will enjoy a low key, quiet night at home.
That's all that's on the docket.
NY Resolutions; I've got a grocery list; the key items - less take out, new job, get pregnant again towards end of year, and here's a funny one for you - wear nailpolish. I think done nails look great but I never keep up with mine!
"I won't give up on us, even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love, I"m still looking up."

Yours doesn't have to be a sad story
Tonight and tomorrow should be quiet. H may have to work tomorrow since they canceled work for today. Sunday, L and I are headed to a baby showe for one of my BFFs in CT. She is due in March with twin girls. Looking forward to seeing her.
QOTW: I don't really have any resolutions but I'd like to work on losing this IVF and baby weight without stressing over it. I'd like to do a FET with our one frobaby in August and I do not want to weigh this much then.
IVF #1 in August 2012: BFP!
L was born on May 5, 2013, 8lb. 6oz.
PAIF/SAIF welcome!
Our Project Make A Baby
I braved the snow and came into work today. I'm trying to save as much paid time off as possible. Plus, flame away but... DS was a super crab when he got up this morning and I felt like bringing him to daycare would be a good distraction for him!! Tomorrow, depending on DS, I might go meet my sister to go look at wedding dresses for her. And then possibly go pick out tile for our backsplash so DH can get that project done. Sunday, I hope I don't even have to get out of my PJs!
QOTW: Get organized!! More dates with DH and get pregnant

H got his tubes this morning so we're taking a lazy day today. The only other plans for the weekend are a grocery overhaul.
QOTW: I don't consider it a resolution but DH and I are going paleo with our diets. We both need to eat better so we're making an attempt to adopt this lifestyle, hence the reason for a grocery overhaul. Tomorrow I'm going through our pantry and refrigerator and throwing out everything that will not be a part of our new eating habits. If it's not there, I won't be tempted to eat it.
