Re: What's happening for the weekend!
Well, first of all, Happy Birthday @firstcomeslove2013!
Now, as for my weekend...here are the main objectives:
1. CLEAN - the house needs it badly - I am not excited about it...
2. My wife wants to go to this Mom's of Multiples thrift sale that is being hosted a town over from us tomorrow. You don't have to be a mom of multiples to go to the sale, that is just the group managing the sale. She read really good reviews online about previous sales, so now she wants to go and perhaps get a few Christmas presents to put away for Will.
3. Our usual grocery store outing will probably happen on Sunday, along with some meal prep for the week.
4. Perhaps we will rent a movie and have some family snuggle time. I would like that!
That's what we've got going on at the moment. Happy Friday everyone!
Me - 30, My wife - 31 , Together for 10 yrs - Married August 2012
5 medicated IUIs w/ RE (March - July 2013) = BFN
Fresh IVF Cycle in September 2013 resulted in 18 mature eggs, 16 fertilized, 12 made it to day 5. Transfer of 2 Grade A blastocysts on 9/15/13, and 10 embryos in the freezer! *****BFP on 9/25/13 - betas: @10dp5dt = 232; @12dp5dt = 465; @15dp5dt = 1,581 *********William George born June 4, 2014*********Not much planned, but we may do early dinner out this evening. I'm supposed to get together with a friend tomorrow for a drink or pedi or something sans kiddos. Woohoo!
Nothing else planned - just the typical grocery, cleaning, cooking routine!
I am picking J up from the airport tonight. I'm excited, not only did I miss her, but after three sleepless nights, I'm ready for a nap
Tomorrow J's organization is having their annual fundraising walk and it's at the park right by our house, so Thijs and I are going to participate. J will be working all day for the event.
And then we have to figure out our childcare dilemma, which will take up the rest of the weekend I'm sure.
Happy birthday @firstcomesloves2013!
@redrockmama - did you ever post the story of what's up with the childcare sitch? I think I missed it. Sorry you're having to deal with that stress, especially while J was traveling.
Tonight S has a team banquet and Gabe and I are actually going to go! Exciting! We'll see how he does. It's in one of the sports venues on campus so at least if he's being a pill I can take him out and run around.
Tomorrow morning I'm doing a walk to support research on Ovarian Cancer. It happens to be a work-related thing, but the cause is near and dear to me since my Mom is a 2x survivor. Then tomorrow afternoon S and I are going the football game. ALONE!! I'm so excited. I feel like we have something going on in the evening too, but I can remember what it might be.
Sunday will be full of trying to keep Gabe busy and active, while trying to take care of (and spend time with) the dog and cat as well. I'm sure S will have to work some. And the laundry could sure use some attention. We also have a PILE of vegetables to do something with from our CSA, so I'm sure I'll be doing some cooking and freezing. Wish @crazyaunt84 was around to give me canning lessons!

DW and I have our nephews for the weekend - 4 and 7 years old - which we are very excited about! The won't get to our place until 7:30 pm so we will more than likely just relax and watch a movie this evening. They love being outdoors so, we have a trail hike packed full of exploring and a pool party planned for tomorrow. Then, dog beach and fish on Sunday!

Happy birthday @firstcomeslove2013!!
Tonight we go sign the lease on our new place, and do our walk through. EV and I will be taking notes so we know exactly where we want to put things and pack accordingly.
Tomorrow I will hopefully show our rental property to someone who will move in immediately. I am getting so stressed about it.
Sunday is up in the air, but we'll likely stay local since we've been driving all over every weekend for the past two months. Our landlord may end up showing this property on Sunday for an hour or so, we're trying to get tenants in so we can move in the middle of the month instead of the end of the month. We'll see. Packing, cleaning, homework, preparing for an interview on Monday.... That about rounds it out.
No plans really this weekend. I did walk around Greenlake the other day and it went great, until later when I got a little sore...ahem...seems the stitches weren't quite up to the 3 mile walk just yet. And I really want to go to "after baby yoga' but it is for 3 weeks pp + so next weekend I can go.
The big thing is that S isn't gaining weight, despite my feeding (seemingly) a lot! I went to a lactation support group today and indeed, she's only getting about 1 oz during a good 35 minute + feed! So I'm full on increasing supply and doing some pumping in between (and during) her feeds. So big focus on that. Otherwise, it seems we get a lot more visitors on the weekends (though we've not yet had a day without at least one!) so I imagine we'll see some of my sisters/mom. And perhaps a *shorter* walk or two! I think this is J's last weekend not working, but again she doesn't work 8-5 even when she does work, so I think it'll be ok when she does work again.
Not much else happening for this milkin' mamaz.
Me (43) and J (45) - same sex couple. And we don't feel 40+!

***CP mentioned***
We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm. 8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy. We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET. I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013.
11/14/14 - Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good.
12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2
12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)
1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2
****All Welcome!****
We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.
@2MamazInSeattle I tandem breastfed at an LC clinic too and they weighed the boys after 30 min. I was so sad that they each only got an ounce. Full time pumping and part time breast feeding is my life now. Our LC said in about a month they will be more efficient a emptying my breasts.
Happy bday @firstcomeslove2013!!!
A & K, married 7/1/13.
After 10 months of ttc via medicated IUIs and two early losses, we finally got our boys- Perfect premie twins born 5/27/14.
