Good luck @wine&cupcakes! That's exciting and nerve racking!

What are you doing to get pregnant? I've been so good about temping this week! But that's it. Still no sex but I'm not as disappointed this month. FF tells me I'll O on Sunday and we're leaving for vaca that day. Not sure if he'll be up ( ) for sex or not this weekend.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nada. Just proud that I've remembered to temp!
GTKY: We put in an offer on a home last night...do you rent or own? What is a "must have" for you in a home? Is there a design feature that you'd absolutely love to have in your dream home?
A basement! I love basements if they don't leak. For my next home I want a more open kitchen. My kitchen is pretty large, but it's shut off from the rest of the house. I would like a more open design.
@mrsberg9282013 - you do such a wonderful job with your posts, I'm always impressed by how many people you respond to.
I'm in on the peninsula, just south of the San Francisco Airport. We lived in SF proper for around 7 years and moved about a year ago for more space and safer neighborhoods. I love, love, love the Bay Area but my "home" will always be Vermont (that's where we are now on our 6 week vaca).
@mal922 - I hope you hit O and glad your husband has been making time between his trips!
@frankenmom - I played extra nice with DH this weekend because I wanted to make sure he would have sex with me! I feel your pain!
@delujm0 - So, this is my first month using wondfo OPKs and I had "almost positives" all day Sunday before fading back to a light line. My temp has also increased since then so I'm wondering if I actually did O on Monday...I am wondering if my OPKs were actually reflecting a positive with those dark lines even though they weren't quite as dark as control? Hmm...I have been feeling (what I think are) O pains today so time will tell...I'll be curious about yours as well!
@BillyHorrible - a pre-O dip...I feel like I always have this but didn't know it was actually a thing. Very interesting!!
Thanks to you all for the well-wishes on the house. As it stands now, I don't think they have an issue with our offer ($5k under asking and including their awesome fridge - which was up for negotiation) but they are having a new septic put in and apparently they are uncomfortable with some dates we put in our offer as they are having trouble with permitting due to summer vacations (not all board members present). So, we will be hearing from them by tomorrow about what to do/write up. We are even willing to throw some money in escrow as an offer of good faith so they can be assured we will play ball with their dates (we are flexible). We just want the house off the market and the open house for this weekend cancelled!!!

@excited2see it's such a pain to live as an adult with parents. We lived with my in-laws for 8 months before the house was officially ours and they were out. It puts a lot of strain on the relationship when there's things they need to do and you're trying to be nice/polite but it's not OK that they didnt fix/do something. Now that they're out, it's so much better and I'm not the evil daughter-in-law anymore.
@sjpmcfmd I am always the evil stepdaughter/daughter. The list of things they didn't do is amazing. but we had to pay a security to move in. I blame myself though because I knew they were skeevy and still tried to be optimistic that they would have some scruples. The relationship is mostly business because I work for them. So when they get pissed off they just cut our hours.
Yikes, I couldnt put up with that much. You should only partly blame yourself, if your situation was anything like mine, you were probably given a bunch of promises beforehand. Granted, the promises seemed too good to be true, but still. My mother doesn't consider me evil, I'm just "mean" since I tell the truth (she's real big on rainbows and unicorns). You're in that horrible time where you need an exit strategy and keep working towards it without wavering or listening to their flack. I find that helps me, a goal, a plan, and a set timeline, then I can let the crap just roll off my back.
