Re: Ten Things Tuesday | 9.27
2. DH and I are going to a fall fest and dinner this weekend (no kids, boo on that part but yay for date night)
3. we've decided to try for 1 date night per month
4. I half half the trim in the house primed! yay! almost time to paint it for real.... lol
5. I am pretty sure I felt O pain/twinge last night. If so, our timing has been awesome.
6. Also, along with my periods being more like they were prior to DS, DH seems to have some.... quality improvement?... in terms of baby batter (I dont know who I stole that from to give them credit but that is the greatest term ever lol)
7. DH is working on his proposal for a promotion. I'm so proud of him. He's doing it for our family but he's doing it the right way for advancement and what is right for the company too
8. My mom made these pumpkin spice biscuit cookies last night.... O.M.G. they were amazing and took like 2 minutes to make.... *off to the grocery store*
9. found a really cute hanging vase that im making a few of to use like sconces in our hall
10. got an invitation from DS's teacher for the first round of conferences (they get everyone in throughout the year) given thats its first round its either gonna be really good or really bad lol
DS born 3/11
Angel Baby 3 6/28/11 9/5/17 BFP!!
divorced October 2014 9/6/17 hCG 88 progesterone 9.1 (prometrium started)
Married DH 10/15 DH's DS born 6/09 9/8/17 hCG 242!!!
Not preventing since 11/15 EDD 5/8/18 Adjusted 5/15/18
TTC since 1/1/16 9/27/17 we have a heart beat!
2. I have full intentions of busting out a bottle of wedding wine after my son goes to bed tonight (even though hubby won't be home to enjoy it with me)
3. I think I finally convinced my husband that we need new couches.
4. One of my girl friends found out she's having a boy yesterday... It seems like everyone that is pregnant right now is having girls.
5. My little boy will be 11 months old in 2 days
6. I am starting to plan his birthday party.
7. I am hoping to start seeing some color on the second line of my OPKs today... Mine have always gradually turned positive and they have been stark white for this entire cycle so far.
8. I am hoping this crazy wind dies down today so I can get outside and go for a nice walk with my little (who is currently destroying my home and desperately needs some fresh air!)
9. Hoping to get out for an anniversary date this weekend if hubby isn't working.
10. I can't even believe how many times I've had to tell my son this morning to stop licking the floor....
Our Angel: EDD: 05/11/17. MC at 6 weeks
Baby #2- EDD: 07/18/17
@MrsN092714 Congratulations on the Anniversary!
1. Anxiously awaiting DH's SA results from the doctor... he is a wonderful husband and a great guy, so I hope for his ego's sake it's all AWESOME, but if not, he knows I love him to the moon and back, and we will get through whatever this journey brings together <3
2. So grateful for coffee! I gave it up cold turkey around New Year's, but since I'm still not KU, have been enjoying it (almost) guilt-free...
3. Excited to be moving into a new place that is more rural and green than where we live now.
4. Happy that DH was on board with my paint picks (mostly) and looking forward to painting and making it a fresh slate. :)
5. I have to run out to the bank/post office/pet store today, as much as I don't want to go anywhere, it's probably good for me to put on a little makeup and get out of the house.
6. Been talking more again with an old bestie of mine. After several disagreements over the years and a couple really ridiculous misunderstandings recently, it is so much nicer to be on good terms.
7. Doggies are very cute and I get to order them new tags, training leashes, and possibly new collars, too! Plus book the little one to see the groomer!
8. Ordered a fresh pack of plain white undershirts for Fall. Ging ot make a point to keep track of our seasonal clothing purchases and stick to a budget, since we are pretty bad at that. Usually we just get whatever we feel like we want/need anytime, and not that we're so fancy, but it feels like it will be more responsible to keep better track.
9. My special rose on the back deck waited to open while we were away and is blooming for me now that we are back! It was my dad's favourite kind, so I like to think of it as his blessing going with us as we transition into this new chapter.
10. We roasted a ham last night in an effort to empty out the freezer so now we have protein for days! lol
2. Tuesday is acupuncture day! Woo hoo for a nap after work.
3. I mentioned before that acupuncture seems to be doing me a lot of good, and my heavier and crampier period seems to have confirmed that. I'm looking forward to giving that bit of good news to my acupuncturist.
4. @ladystinson likes the term baby batter! Yes, I think that was me you got that from, and I'm tickled you are using it, too. It's what OH and I call it, and I still find it amusing
5. We'll be heading out for our two week leaf peeping vacation next Monday. I. Can't. Wait.
6. I love seeing BFPs in the grad thread. It's making my day.
7. OH's SA is scheduled during FW (boo!!), but I think we can still get some decent timing in.
8. OH is doing the SA without making it difficult. It's so nice when he's on board!
9. He's also on board with going down to pound town (thanks for that gem, grad @MonaLisaRalphio!!) every other chance we get once the SA is done.
10. I'm going to make myself a nice warm cup of green tea. Come on, CM!!!
Beloved SS: born 12/2011

@BusinessWife FX for the SA results. You already seem to have the best outlook about whatever results may come, but no matter what, we're here with you.
1. A client gave me the most gorgeous white roses yesterday. They are brightening up my kitchen and they are HUUUGEE.
2. The lady at Quest only had to stab me once to get my blood draw today. #win
3. H said he's trying to be in a better mood today. Men, I swear.
4. I'm going to the gym today which I skipped yesterday because I got home 30 mins later than usual... oops.
5. All the cookies/bad treats in my house are gone (maybe because I ate them all) so hopefully my eating can get back on track.
6. My new curling iron is awesome and was only $20.
7. I feel like this TTGP group lately is just clicking... there's so much support, people seem to really be connecting, and soooo much help/knowledge. Sure there's an occasional drive by/hiccup, but this board gives me the warm fuzzies.
8. My BFF is back in town which means we're back to gchatting all day.
9. I actually told a family member about our loss and she was so, so supportive. She said the right things and offered her ear whenever I need it. I wasn't so sure who I was going to be comfortable sharing this with, but she was a good choice for sure.
10. I saw a couple of H's students on Friday and they are the BEST and remind me that one day we will have kids just as awesome as they are, and this whole process is worth it.
1. My mom is coming to visit this weekend!!
2. My aunt is coming up too!
3. I'm wearing flannel, comfy jeans, and my hair is in a ponytail. It's the perfect lazy day at work.
4. I just had some delicious quiche.
5. Tonight is the last night for the week that H works nights. He has training tomorrow so he will be done by 6! I'll get him until Sunday night!!
6. We have some gorgeous fall weather coming up this week.
7. I'm starting to look for another race to run. I haven't gone running since my last race August 20.
8. I had my last blood draw today. No more getting poked by needles! At least for this cycle...
9. H being home means SOA binge watching!!
10. And because I missed MCM yesterday... this is for you @mrsdaddario

@hartmich I've been in an out lately so I'm missing so much stuff. Hugs for your loss. I'm so glad you have someone you can talk to. It can make a world of difference in the healing process. So, recipe! she used canned biscuit dough, split the layers (she did in half, could do thinner for more crispy) then spooned pumpkin puree on top and sprinkled with seasoning to taste (we did cinnamon-sugar and a hit of pumpkin pie spice) bake until dough is done to your liking. amazing!
@Aurora1973 yes! I told DH last night that I needed a deposit. He said what deposit? I said I need a deposit of baby batter stat! lol he laughed at me and may have rolled his eyes a bit but I think he's game for the name. fingers crossed for an amazing SA!
@BusinessWife I love painting, but dear lord I'm over it lol former owner owned a construction business and built the house himself- great, good, fantastic. However! he used left overs from job sites sometimes. Everything is that weird industrial beige and the trim is all the dark industrial pink-beige... in high gloss... which means I have no option but to prime all.the.trim. ugh its looking so much better though already and its only the white flat primer. Yay for making our houses our homes! and cheers to your DH for doing the SA without a fuss
@linzrunz I am totally jealous of your outfit today.... I've gotta find my fall stuff and wait for friday...

TTC since 1/1/16 9/27/17 we have a heart beat!
1. It's a beautiful day out and I'm enjoying the blue skies
2. DH and I are going to watch our wedding video tonight for our anniversary
3. I made a smoothie for lunch and it tastes almost like a store-bought smoothie so I'm pretty pleased with my smoothie skills right now
4. Hillary did a great job during the debates last night! (In my opinion
5. It's almost October and I love October
6. We bought a new tree this week and it is so pretty. Can't wait until they come to plant it next month.
7. My boobs always get bigger at this part of my cycle and it's fun to have bigger boobs once in awhile (coming from a member of the itty bitty titty committee)
8. A couple months ago one of my friends posted a picture of me and I felt like I looked awful. Based on that one photo I've been feeling self-conscious about my legs all summer. My DH took a picture of me this weekend and my legs looked great! It made me happy... but also disappointed in myself because I spent the whole summer stressing about them over one stupid picture
9. I actually remembered to do laundry this weekend so I actually had a lot of choices of outfits for today
10. I'm making plans for a bubble bath tonight with some wine and I can't wait
ETA: Congrats on your anniversary. Not for having the same anniversary as me... just wanted to clarify so I don't sound like an asshole ha
2. I'm going to see my new nephew, niece, sisters, and mom this weekend!
3. Bose customer service is awesome. I have some earbuds that are probably at least a few years old. I emailed them about the fact that one of the cords is delaminating, hoping that they would at least give me a trade-in discount on new ones. Nope! They gave me the, "Well, those are over a year old so they're out of warranty. But we're going to replace them for free anyways. Here's a shipping label to send back your old ones."
4. We're pretty sure that something died in the wall at work. And it's not my problem to deal with! Three cheers for my pathetic sense of smell!
5. MH and I are probably going to do a Thai takeout and TV night tonight.
6. I've finally figured out the new purchase order/request system at work.
7. And I'm figuring out the new expenses system. That will be good. They owe me kind of a lot.
8. I'm going to watch Stranger Things at the gym after work.
9. We'll get to have a birthday party for my sister while I'm in town since hers is in a couple weeks.
10. I had a Frosty last night. It was delicious.

He has been working insane hours so hopefully once he does get a day off we do something fancy. Enjoy your evening!

8. The weather looks beautiful out my office window and I plan to drive home with the windows down.
