    Well over the last week or so we have seen about 18 inches of snow and -35 temps. I haven't yet had the chance to take some good pictures, but here is one of the snow. I don't know why it is sideways!

    TTC our first. Married to, and madly in love with, my beautiful wife. Living with our fur baby and enjoying 19 nieces and nephews.

    There for a moment I forgot I was in PIP.  Has anyone else had bronchitis in early pregnancy?  Its kicking my butt. 

    Anyway, here is a pic of some of my closest friends and myself over the holidays. 

    @KLeigh1 - last year I had a massive ear infection from 10w-14w - it was HORRIBLE but kind of made worse by the fact that my midwife's office told me to just "wait it out" - well, after 3 weeks, when I got to the point of no longer being able to hear, I went to the doc who promptly diagnosed and prescribed a $5 pregnancy-safe antibiotic and I was better in a few days. It was miserable, but somehow, despite being a relatively smart cookie, I didn't know you could take antibiotics while pregnant. Duh. So, not sure your symptoms, but might be worth a dr. visit before you suffer too much.

    Temps around here have been below frigid. This is my "old man" fur baby after snow shoeing a local campground. He stayed wrapped up the entire ride home.

     We have 5 fur babies we call kids ( 3 dogs & 2 cats) and 6 chickens. I am trying to add a tea cup pig to our family as well but my DW is afraid I will think it looks lonely sleeping elsewhere and invite it into our bed which already has 3 dogs. Trying to Conceive Ticker

    2MamazInSeattle The last time we went was this past Oct for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Sunseeker. Its the only lgbt hotel on the island. It was nice, we stayed in the penthouse and had a fullsize jacuzzi on our balcony facing the ocean. In 2010 we stayed at the Aston Maui Lu in an ocean front room and it was again perfect for us. We always go to walmart/kmart when we get off the plane and stock up on room goodies like chips, beer, bagels, etc so that we can relax a little better. What was nice about the Sunseeker, aside from being all gay place, was that they had chairs and ice chests, floaties, etc that you can borrow everyday to take to the beach.
