Since I am an emotional rain cloud, I decided to try and think of some positive things to bring me out of it. Anyone have positives to share? Things you're looking forward to? Jokes?
Mine: Within the next six weeks or so all of the maternity lines will bring out the spring/summer collection which means shorts and dresses! Woo Hoo!
I guess I should also add that I get to hear baby's heartbeat tomorrow. I'm still waiting on my Harmony results which might be adding to my rain cloud.
I had a wonderful birthday weekend. It was relaxing and I spent it in yoga pants with my favorite people. Homemade mac&cheese one night, pizza and dvr'd golden globes the next.
I am feeling amazingly better today. DD has yet to get any of my sickies (knock on wood). We (DH) got quite a few home improvements done yesterday. My parents have the day off, so we're going to go visit them later!
I got my doctors appointment Thursday and really hope to either hear the heartbeat (for the first time), or see the baby on US screen again!!! :-) can't wait!!
Our RainbowBaby
Me- 28, DH- 32 ----> together six years, married June 2012
TTC ---> since the wedding night Initial diagnosis of PCOS, currently labeled as unexplained infertility
Clomid and trigger shot regimen BFP 12/20/13, EDD 8/25/2014, baby got his wings at 11 weeks and 3 days.
I just ate a huge rice krispy treat (from our cafeteria - far better than packaged) after I had my healthy lunch of Panera Lentil soup. Balanced, right? Justification - I'm likely going to go to the gym this PM AND I don't get to eat anything until after my 11:30 surgery tomorrow. So, gotta make up for those calories somewhere...
Got to see baby today! They weren't able to get the NT Scan reading, given baby's unhelpful position, but I'm honestly uncharacteristically at peace with that. I don't even feel compelled to try to reschedule it, even though I'm not outside of the "readability window." Onward!
TTC Since 11/10 due to Unexplained IF
4 Rounds of Clomid, 2 Rounds of Femara + IUI, 2 rounds of IUI+ Injectables (Bravelle + Menopur) = First BFP! TWIN GIRLS!
November 2, 2012 - Claire (2lbs 8.9oz) and Paige (2lbs 10oz) arrive at 29w3d due to PTL and pPROM at 28w5d
Slamar3, it was my birthday weekend, too! I had leftover chocolate cake for breakfast and it was amazing. Also, I think I'm nesting already. I cleaned out the closet (something I've been putting off for 12+ months) and sorted a bunch of baby clothes from my other two children. So productive!
I love the house DH bought us!! I'm so happy to have our family not living 14 hours apart anymore and the movers get here on Wednesday so we can finally start getting settled. It's a great week!!
Since finding out we are having a boy, my whole family is now calling the baby little Ditka. (We are all huge bears fans lol.)
Also, we got an email saying we earned a free Papa johns pizza since we've ordered so much lately - not sure if I should be embarrassed but yay for free dinner and garlic sauce!!!!! \:D/
Married to DH since 2010, TTC since 2012
2 Furbaby pups, Miley and Ally
Unexplained IF, 3 rounds clomid= BFN, IUI+femara 2/14 = BFN, IVF 5/14 = BFP! MMC 7/14. FET 10/31/14= BFP!!! 2 gestational sacs, one baby with a heartbeat. Praying for our little bean sprout!
Here's a positive for you! Just got a call from the doctor's office and my Panorama screen came back low risk! Sex is in an envelope, which DH and I will open on Wednesday!
Tomorrow we have our NT scan and get to see him/her for the first time! We haven't heard a heartbeat or seen anything yet, so we're super excited (and nervous) for tomorrow!
I'm also officially 14 weeks today which is making this Monday so much happier. I also just found out the bloodwork from my first trimester screening was good (along with a good scan) so I'm feeling very grateful for that as well. Also working on planning a babymoon trip. We're doing something different- renting a house and inviting some couples we adore for one last child-free vacation. (DH and I will likely still do a smaller getaway with just the two of us as well.) So I'm really excited about that since we had to cancel Christmas travel plans due to bed rest. I am just having a good day despite the fact that its a rainy and gloomy day in New York.
It's my first day back at work after 3 weeks off, which is a bit of a drag, but I realized how much I missed my awesome students. They are so much fun, and I really like being around them.
I have had a no-fun-busy-crazy-frustrating day at work and I logged on for a bump break because I still have way more to do before I go home but couldn't muster any motivation...and then I saw, "Monday Positives" and thought, Oh my goodness, I really can't stomach a bunch of rainbows and puppy dogs bullshit right now...but clicked anyway. And reading through all this fun stuff actually made me feel a million times better. And helped me decided what I'm going to cook for dinner: fudgy brownies!
And my positive is that we couldn't really decide on a babymoon and I wasn't really excited about anywhere.....until yesterday! I think we are going to a fancy bed/breakfast with a spa and indoor pool and I'm going to get a maternity massage!
I just came downstairs after taking a shower to find DH holding DD and they are both asleep on the couch. They look so adorable together.. My heart just melted.. They are sleeping so peacefully. Of course I took a million pictures.
And just got done with my NT scan where I got to see my cute littlest baby wiggling around

Glad you got to see your baby! My husband and I took our honeymoon in Seattle this past October. Anytime someone mentions the Seahawks it just makes me think of Mighty-O Donuts and I get super hungry. (They do football themed donuts on game day.)

I got cake today. And even though it poured out all day, I was working so I didnt miss out on anything.
Plus my DVR is full of goodness: Girls, Downton Abbey, Modern Family, and the college football championship starts soon!
I had a really shitty day and this thread really helped. Thanks OP!
