1. After my first full week back logging my food, I was down 5 lbs last week! Hope to keep building that momentum... :)
2. DH was so sweet and wanted to shower me in Valentine's goodies yesterday, so obv KITCHEN GOODIES!!! lol Finally my spider strainer he knows I've been wanting for so long, and a good meat pounder! ;) amongst other things... (which we laughed and agreed is really more for him, cos he keeps asking me to make cutlets and schnitzel type things lol)
3. We baked Valentine's cookies last night and decorated them together. So nice to just be silly and fun!
4. DH's special map print came in last week... still waiting on the frame + mat. Hopefully he will get a kick out of that when he sees it.
5. He is so funny. He also picked up a cozy plaid chenille blanket saying, "I know we have the paisley one and the other plain ones..., and they had another paisley, too, but I thought it'd be nice to get something different!" Lol. Bless his heart. I guess he likes when stuff around the house doesn't feel too matchy, more cozy and lived-in. ❤
6. Doggies, dog-noses and puppy-snuggles always make the list.
7. Our cozy bed and a good night's sleep...
8. The chance to relax in a little peace and quiet before the day gets too hectic yet.
9. Sending a Valentine to my mother... albeit belated.
10. My bump friends and my bestie. Fx so hard for everyone who's going to be testing soon... it is nice to be able to stay hopeful, even if it's not <i>for me</i>, but for someone else right now.
1. It's Valentine's Day. I love holidays even if they're cheesey and a Hallmark holiday 2. My husband filled my car up with gas last night and I didn't know until this morning. Made me very happy! 3. I get to have pasta for dinner. I've been logging calories and tonight they don't matter and I am so looking forward to it! 4. My instant pot was supposed to be delivered in March but I got an email that it'll be here by Thursday!!!! 5. I emailed a seller from Amazon asking for a part that fell off of a toy we bought for Christmas for our son and instead of sending the part, they're sending us a whole replacement. 6. My son slept like a rock last night. We were up all Sunday night due to a double ear infection so I'm glad he's feeling better and was comfortable enough to sleep. 7. Coffee. All the coffee. 8. They're having a bake sale at work today and I just got to sample a cookie. Oh em gee I love cookies 9. Etsy. I found a card where you calculate the number of days you've been together and that number is on the front of the card. So cute. And we're at 5,276 days for anyone interested. 10. My husband and our son in general. I am one lucky lady and I do realize that every day. Even when life is crazy and I feel like I don't have time to breathe (which has been A LOT lately) I love my boys and they always make me happy and thankful
@Businesswife Aww, it sounds like you guys have such a cute Valentine's Day!
@50wife I hate getting gas, so that is an awesome gift from your husband!
1. At least half the snow from the blizzard has already melted. What a relief! 2. DH brought me breakfast for Valentine's 3. I am grateful we liked our RE practice. It makes all the hard things we have to do easier when they're nice. 4. And, I'm glad it's only a half hour away. Plenty of people really have to hike to get to a doctor. 5. I am trying to remind myself that knowledge is power, and now that I know about these problems, I can work on getting us a healthy baby. 6. After all, most people have to fly blind. I'm grateful modern science has allowed us to do so much more. 7. Oh, and I'm grateful modern science will probably make it possible for us to have a baby at all. 8. DH has been so kind to me as I've been working through this and I'm glad that, even though he doesn't always know what to do, he really tries. 9. After our RE appointment today, we're going to do a Valentine's late lunch which will be great! No long waits to get a table. 10. Thanks to all my TB friends for support the last few days
@BusinessWife 5 lbs in one week is amazing!! @adirat way to keep it positive girl! you have some much going on, hugs @50wife that was sweet of DH!
1. my amazing sweet husband, who is going home at lunch to clean the bathroom because I hate doing it 2. DH and the flowers he sends me... today roses and daisies. 3. the twins. They gave amazing snuggle hugs this morning and it just melted my heart and filled my cup at the same time 4. DH wrangling the babies and doing extra morning stuff so I can do yoga in the mornings! 5. Yoga 7 of the last 8 mornings! 6. a good job 7. the ability to pursue IUI and hanging on to hope 8. a house I love 9. sweet pets that add to the crazyness and make life full 10. my bump ladies, you are such an amazing outlet for me and so much support.

1. My wonderful husband who is super serious but will do just about anything to make me laugh including dancing to the Spice Girls in the morning while I do my make-up. 2. My body, we don't have the best relationship but it could be so much worse. 3. My girlfriends who I met through DH (their husbands also play the same geek game). They are so kind and loving even though we only see each other a few times a year. I can't wait to see them this weekend. 4. My former boss who is basically the grandpa I never had. While working for him he instilled in me so much confidence. 5. My current coworkers who, I just found out at a meeting, are apparently impressed and grateful for the work that I do. 6. Bubble baths 7. Puppy snuggles 8. My car that is going strong at 117k miles. 9. Our FX hopefully someday rainbow baby who is already pushing me to be better even though I've never met them. 10. All you lovely ladies, I don't know what I would do if I didn't have people to talk who understand what it's like.
@50Wife one good thing about living in NJ is we can't pump our own gas, so we stay at a good temp and dry inside our carts!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
@NYTino24 that is probably the one thing I will never say bad about Jersey. Those damn jug handles on the other hand... Like, pick a side. Do I need to be in the left lane or right lane to make a left turn???
