1) what’s one highlight from this week?
2) What’s one lowlight from this week?
Re: Highlight/Lowlight this week 1/23
Lowlight: My car got broken into last night. They stole my iPod, which I admittedly did not use very much anymore, but still. I thought they also stole my black leather gloves, but then my husband found them in the yard so, yay I guess?
Me: 29 DH: 35
Married 5/3/14, TTC ever since
DX: Lean PCOS, Clomid resistant
Femara 7.5 + Ovidrel = BFP! Due 4/15/18
Lowlight: still waiting on labs and to find out if my husband is losing his job or just getting demoted on Friday. I’m in a bad place with lots of regret about being pregnant and vulnerable right now.
AFM
Highlight: I have been feeling the baby much more consistantly lately (AP here, so it took awhile).
Lowlight: I have been super emotional lately, which is driving me crazy. Atleast DH is understanding.
Low: This morning DS screamed at me in the Dr. waiting room that he was going to kill me. The day hasn't changed much since...
Lowlight- My anxiety and depression are still out of control.
Highlight - the building anticipation of these babies joining the family! Feels more real every day.
Lowlight - trying to sleep last night
Highlight: My 12 year old had a rough school year last year. We got his progress reports this weekend and he is doing great at his classes. (We homeschool but he takes classes once a week)
lowlight: We had an upstairs bathroom toliet break and make a huge mess. Flooded carpet and it leaked through the ceiling. We rent but it was still a huge mess and stressor to deal with.
Highlight: Working on booking our newborn photos and hospital/delivery photos! I'm a super private/shy person, so I'm going to have to get over the idea of some stranger taking pics of me in one of the most vulnerable moments of my life, but I know that I'll look back and be so glad I did it.
Lowlight: I'm just so uncomfortable all the time. It's hard to enjoying being pregnant when it makes me feel so miserable all the time.
highlight
I successfully made macaroons over the weekend. They were amazing. I also feel like we made a lot of progress getting ready for baby.
lowlight
my energy is at an all time low. I am so tired all the time!
@g_amoss Yeah, ILs came back and I had a sit down with them. I feel better having them have my back and them knowing exactly whats going on. I currently have 100% control over everything financial, and they are thankful and appreciative of that, and are willing to help and support me in whatever case that may be. His mom is still definitely his mom, and defends his actions sometimes, but also agrees something is going on and he needs to see a therapist or someone to talk through whatever the heck is going on. ALL of the financial stress (loans, garnished wages, credit cards etc) should be all taken care of starting Feb, he is also getting a major promotion at work by Jan 31st and im praying a good raise will come with that (he is very underpaid right now). So still stressful, but I can see a light at the end of the tunnel and now all that there is to work on is fixing our credit after all of this crap. Everything is in that transition phase right now, nothing is completely set in stone, but by Feb 1st should all be done if everything goes right, so its stressful playing the waiting game for everything to go through and be finalized with the loan pay off and garnished wages, apparently they still have to decide if they want to okay for a stop or not ugh.. but yeah.
Highlight: Started the new semester and I'm excited for graduation this semester and for baby and all the great changes that are in store!
Lowlights: I have experienced lightning crotch and they aren't kidding - that is PAINFUL. Also I've been setting up preceptors for my dietetic internship which starts in August, and I've gotten all my rotations covered except the last, shortest rotation.
lowlight- work is completely stressing me out. I manager a business and when I am on maternity leave my assistant will take over and I feel like the last two weeks he has decreased and keeps forgetting what he has to do. I feel like I am going to come back to a complete mess.
side highlight - That Kent and Tatayana are having a baby post.
Lowlight - Hip pain at night is becoming unbearable. Its so bad it is keeping me awake most of the night now. I've tried everything from more exercise, stretches throughout the day and before bed, lots of water. Going to try acupuncture next week and I need to increase my omega 3 intake. Otherwise, I am out of solutions.
im hoping to post my high and low on Friday bc I have a video interview for a job that I badly need as my current contract ends the end of July! So fingers crossed for a high and not a low!!!
Highlight: I got to spend a ton of time with my family this week because my husband was out of town. It was the plan for me to stay with my parents/sister (they live right next door to each other. I couldn’t do it! Lol) when my husband is gone because of the contractions I’ve been having. I don’t want to stay home alone with two kids with these contractions!!
Lowlight: there’s soooooo much to do for the baby! I am exhausted and don’t want to do it, but we have to move my son’s room in order to get the baby’s nursery going. All the moving things is exhausting!!
It IS a great relief!
Low light I don't have any patients with my 2 year-old anymore. Lately all he does is cry for no apparent reason and won't tell me what's wrong.
Can I add that my chiropractor gave me magnesium that helps with the muscle cramps.
Officially have two specific tutoring gigs a week that will pay my rent in full. The rest is bill/savings money. It's been a touch and go business since kids were on break the last two months, so this will be amazing. Also, I'm still getting hired by people despite being so far along, and I'll have work afterwards still, and it's awesome how accommodating people have been since itll be a good sized chunk of curriculum interruption.
Lowlight: started running this week and man I was ultra super mega sore from the smallest amount of jogging. Getting back on the train, but it's a slow one !
Low: I hate interviewing; my interview went well from my perspective but it’s such a crap shoot as to what they are looking for in my field. I hate the evaluation without knowing what they want. I’m surprised I actually got through it with no pregnancy brain flare ups (<- adding that as second highlight)
edited: clarity
What field are you in ? About to start the PhD interview process and definitely worried about showing up a) pregnant and b) just being nervous about interviewing and not knowing the "right" answers haha.
Highlights: construction started on the nursery finally, but at 29w2d today with twins...will it be done in time? I'm hopeful and anxious to put it all together. Slept in today!
