  I feel good about getting through two days help-free at night. And I feel good that P and Z had great 1 month appointments - they are up about 1.5lbs each!!

  1 month already??? Weren't they just born like 2 days ago? Time is flying! Glad you survived your first help free nights. That's wonderful.

  @RobertJane33 - That is such great news! Wonderful gains for your little bundles!

  Today, I feel good that I am back in real clothes and back at work. Still feeling tired and run down, but at least functional enough to get ready and get out of the house. I may not make it through the whole day, but if I can make it to early afternoon, I will take that as a win.

  I also feel good about my decision to not weigh myself this morning. I started my period last night (joy!), and I have just felt gross from this flu/bug I have had... so I cut myself some needed slack. I will weigh in next week and see where I am...

  @RobertJane33 I can't believe it has already been a month it really does feel like just yesterday that they were born.

  I feel good that I am almost 35w pregnant and for the most part this has been an uneventful pregnancy.  I also feel good that I only have to get one more shot in the a** (plus it is in my right side which is my preferred check).  I feel good that I have such amazing friends that came to the shower and were all so generous and I feel as ready as I can for her to arrive (minus having a name picked out).  I feel good that much of the community is staying put or at least going to continue to post in both locations.  This community has been so supportive to me over the past almost 2 years.  They have been here to celebrate the highs and help me through the lows and I would be sad if that went away.

  I feel good that I drank my breakfast today.  No not booze!  I made a "pina colada" smoothie (pineapple and light coconut milk, no rum!) with kale and banana and added a scoop of vanilla whey protein powder and it was delicious and filling and much easier on my throat than real food, since I am still rocking the flu and woke up feeling like my throat has been clawed by wild beasts.  Though I also feel good that my fever seems to have gone away and the accompanying chills and body aches.
  
  I also feel good that I am home from work again, B is at daycare and seems to still be healthy, and I get to rest all day.
  
  I feel good that KH posted this thread!

  We feel good that we just got done reading Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and feel a whole lot better about when the best time to inseminate. Also feel good we just put in to have our last 3 vials taken out of storage next week. Only bummer is, high/peak days are during the work week, we can only do evening "bding" but we'll make the most out of it, at least be able to go to sleep afterword  We also feel good that this afternoon we are mailing off our appeal to Kaiser for the IVF coverage, I hope it doesn't take them 2 months to review it! But we are ready to fight back!

  Just can't let that tww get to us, need to find things to do, but hard during the winter time, also we would love to have a positive for valentine's day

  I feel good that C and I bought Fitbits yesterday. We both need to get healthy and it has been a struggle.
  
  I feel good that we had two blasts to transfer yesterday. I hover between optimism and pessimism for this cycle, though I think I remain mostly realistic. I am thankful that we at least had two to transfer. We could have had nothing.
  
  I feel good that C and I are on the same page with how things will go if this cycle is a BFN.

  Me: 30  DW (aka C): 29

  Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12

  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!)

  I feel good that our "puppins" is mostly crate trained. It has been some work, and we've moved slowly but she's happy in her crate. Though she still occasionally whines for a few minutes if things get interesting in the playroom and she wants out. At night in our room she does great - no fuss. I have her on a schedule of eat, play, sleep just like a baby.  She also hangs out with me in the kitchen or playroom solo while the kids nap so I feel like she's getting a good mix of environments and its helping with potty training. Bringing me to #2. I feel good that we're progressing with potty training and have reduced the number of accidents by at least 80%.  I shampooed the playroom yesterday and I feel a lot happier sitting on the carpet ;-)

  
  

  I feel good that I've lost 10.8lbs in about 7 weeks.  It's not as fast or much as I'd hoped but its a downward trend so that's good. 

  
  

  I feel good that the four of us got some much needed family time in yesterday evening at a kids indoor jumpy place. We were the only people there and had a blast climbing in the jumpies and sliding down slides. I swear I didn't have kids just so I could play more ;-)

  I feel good that it's Friday, I love my 3 day weekends. 

  
  

  I feel good that Thijs seems to be feeling better and that I am as well. Hoping we can get him back in his sleepsuit this weekend and also take his belated 7 month photo.

  I feel good that I have a 4 day weekend coming up. Even though L will be out of town and the kids and I are on our own, I am excited to have some plans but also have some down time.

  I have lots to feel good about today!
  
  We too are having some sleep success! Three great nights in a row! I'll chrono more about this next week, but I'm feeling thay we may be turning a corner, rather than just getting lucky.
  
  My parents are here for a brief visit, which allowed Z and I to get out for a nice dinner sans toddler last night. Win-win!
  
  Happy Saturday!
