  • We really don't have much on the docket this weekend. I think Sunday we're going to brunch with DH's family to celebrate him and his brothers birthdays.... BLAAAHHH. Confession: I hate these outings becuase his family is so big that it will easily cost us $100 (since we just split the bill). It's so wasteful to me.

    QOTW - We met through our sisters, they were friends and decided to set us up. You would think that knowing your SO's families when you meet and wind up gettnig married would make things way easier - but its actually been quite the opposite.

  • No big plans just spend as much time as I can with DS. The weather is supposed to be in 70s this weekend. With the nice weather around the corner I feel extra guilty for working and not bring home with my little guy. I'm struggling with that a lot lately - the guilt is eating me alive.

    QOTW - We met online :)

ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!!

  • Nothing really big planned this weekend. Saturday I work 2-10. Sunday after church I'm gonna go swimming with my friend and her little kids. She's from out of town so it'll be nice to visit with her.

    QOTW: Funny story, DH and I used to know each other WAY back like when I was in grade three, our parents were friends. Our families drifted apart. Fast forward many years later and a friend of mine introduced me to hubby and I realized that we were friends ages back lol.

  • Love love everyone's stories fo how they met. I always find it so interesting!

    No real plans. I'm boring these days. I just want to play outside with DS if it's nice out and just keep working on the baby's room. I'm sure there will be napping inbetween. Two daycare started potty training DS this week so I guess I will be busy doing that as well. Sigh..no ready for this...

    QOTW: When I came home from freshmen year of college that summer my parents moved to a new city and DH was the project manager of the development my parents just had a house built in. So not knowing he was 5 years older I walked up and gave him my number while he was working and we went on a date. Little did he know I was 19 :)

    Married: 5/09 ~ TTC Since: 10/10 ~ PCOS ~ Progesterone from 10/10 - 2/11 ~ HSG on 3/18 - Clear ~ Started Metformin 1000mg & Clomid 50mg 2/11 ~ Metformin upped to 1500mg 4/6 ~ 6/7 Now going to SG and put on Clomid, Ovidrel, Gonal F, Prometrium, Estrace ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP!!!!!! March 6th our little man was born. 

    6/17/13 - Ovidrel, Follistim, Prometrium ~ IUI #1 7/2 = BFP! March 17th our St. Pattys day baby arrived

    10/29/17 - Started process for IVF, got pregnant & miscarried a 2nd time since summer. 2/22 started stims - Menopur, Gonal F, Cetrotide - retrieval 3/6 - , PIO, estrace 3xday - FET 4/18 = Beta 1: 616; Beta 2: 1342 = BFP 

  • Tomorrow night is DH's night out!  He rarely goes out at night, unless I really insist.  (Whereas I go out 3-4x/month on average to go to concerts etc.)  He's meeting friends for dinner then the symphony.  Since DH is the one who does bedtime with M, I'm hoping M will go down easy for me.  We may go out for lunch with M tomorrow.

    Sunday I'm going to a matinee performance of an opera with a friend and MIL, so DH & M will have some man-to-man time.

    QOTW: we met online, even though at that time we both worked in the same university complex and lived 4 blocks from each other.

  • @mcgeeva good luck with the potty training!! I feel like people have so many negative things to say about PTing boys but it went extremely well for us! I hope you have the same luck. My biggest advice: whatever you do, don't turn back!

  • Originally I tried to get all of next week off but work denied me. So I got a 3 day weekend instead. We are getting together with some friends tonight for dinner. On Sunday we are going to dinner at a friends house who just had their kitchen redone (ps she's like a gourmet cook). I'm a bridesmaid in my cousin's wedding next week so ill prob be trying to get things together this weekend since I've been such a basket case brain lately.

    QOTW: We met in highschool. DH used to date my best friend freshman year ☺️. To be fair it was short lived and a very elementary relationship. And just for the record we are still best friends, she was even a bridesmaid in our wedding.

  • Happy Friday!!

    Tomorrow I am going to a competition with my GT kids all day long. I've got a good friend/coworker I'm going with too so it'll be a lot of fun! Sunday is H's cake smash pictures, I'm so excited!!

    QOTW: DH and I went to high school together in a small town so we knew each other, but didn't hang out. We were formally introduced and started doing things with a mutual group of friends the week after I graduated. At one point, he called me and I thought it was another guy I had met at the college I was going to attend. I blabbed for at least an hour and he finally says, well it's been nice talking to you but I dialed the wrong number. I was horrified (even this guy I thought I didn't know had no clue who I was) and I called my best friend and told her how embarrassed I was. Turns out she was sitting in the same room with DH, gave him my number, and had been listening on speaker.

  • Tonight we are going to a charity fundraiser thing. I've been the chair in the past, so it will be fun to just go and have fun.

    Tomorrow I'm volunteering with the same charity for big rummage sale. DH has J all day, so I'm excited to see what he thinks after having her from 7:30-5:30 (a typical work day for him).

    Thank you. I'm personally sad about doing it but daycare started so I have I stick to it. It's just I'm so afraid it's too much along with the baby coming, going into a big boy bed. Just makes me feel bad

    After we get the official BFN beta call tomorrow, I'l be drinking a LOT of wine. We have friends coming up from the city for dinner and drinks at our house. They're so much fun and I just need that right now. 

    Also we're headed somewhere warm and sunny in the next couple of weeks. So we'll be looking into fights/hotels this weekend probably to somewhere in Mexico. Between this awful, cold winter and BFN IVF cycles, I need some sunshine!!! And drinks, don't forget the drinks!

    QOTW: college orientation! I'm from SC and went to college there and DH was from IL. It was freshman orientation and I was sitting with a group of girls eating lunch and he walked up all alone and asked to sit with me. We both had significant others so we were just friends all throughout college. Then we started dating after catching up again at a graduation party. 
    Hugs, Chi. Look at flights to AZ, we can have a play date!

    @mcgeeva Sorry you're feeling bad about it. And yes that sounds like a lot of adjustment. I'm freaked to put DS in a big boy bed too. But soon you'll have lots more diapers to change so don't worry
