oh sugar, the morning after is always rough...try not to worry about it and I know you'll feel better soon

 

[LucyJ]

Oh sugar sorry your night ended like that and you've got a bad hangover. Try not to worry about it lots of fluids and take it easy it tonight. Sorry the witch is messing with you, damn her.

 

[Allie84]

Sounds like a rough night, Sugar! At least it's now the weekend and you can recover.

Welcome Grandbleu! sorry for your loss.

LOL @ Nato wanting a pic off Mel. Glad it's getting back to normal, Mel.

I'm feeling okay, Lucy, thanks for asking. It's like I can feel myself getting sick but I keep fighting if off. I hope I can continue to do that!

Any word from Megg? Megg,come back!

 

[heart tree]

Grandbleu, you are most welcome to join us here!!! Please contribute more. Your loss was so recent. I'm so very sorry. I hope a BFP is in your future soon.

Dazed, did you test or are you waiting until tomorrow? I really hope you are about to join Yogi.

Allie, I hope you find the cream. You probably don't need it, but it can't hurt.

Sugar, what a night! I was just at the gym thinking about you. I was wondering if we hadn't heard from you because you had a hangover. Guess so! Sounds like you needed to get drunk, but also sounds like you had a lot to unload. It happens to all of us!

Well, I got the blanket in the mail along with my letter to request my records be sent to the doctor in Florida. There is something meaningful to me about those two posts. Both have to do with getting forever babies! Megg, I sent back the extra fabric that I didn't use in case you have another use for it. Can't wait to hear your update!

Just placed my order for 40 OPKs, 30 CBFM sticks, and 10 pregnancy tests on Amazon.com. POAS addict? Not me!

 

[msarkozi]

Hearty!! yep, I think addict

 

[Dazed]

I did test It was at about 2:30am Sadly it was :BFN:
I have feelings like she is going to come, but they it goes away. I'm hoping it was just too diluted for a :BFP: (drank way too much stuff after 7pm). It was very light last time too though at the same cycle day.
Yeah, I'm bummed alittle (more this morning than anything), but I will trudge on.

 

[heart tree]

Sorry babe. But like you said, it could have been diluted. Not to mention, it was 2:30 am when you tested! I don't know if that counts for FMU or is that last urine from the day before? Sounds like a couple more days will be telling either way. If you do get AF, we'll be on the same cycle and we can work together to get our Christmas BFPs, ok?

 

[Dazed]

Sounds good to me. Hopefully that will mean sticky beans for us!

 

[LucyJ]

Sorry that it was a bfn dazed

 

[heart tree]

Oh yes, they will definitely be sticky ones.

 

[bbhopes]

I really hope Meg comes back with good news, as I need some happy endings here, my week has sucked, and it would be so nice to hear at least one of us is getting closer to the target here.

 

[heart tree]

Sorry you've had a sucky week. Want to talk about it? I hope Megg has some good news too!

 

[LucyJ]

Sorry to hear you've had a bad week

Cant wait to hear from megg going to check facebook.

 

[Megg33k]

Hey, girls! I have to admit that I didn't read every post. I'm a little drugged up on Valium! LOL But, I'm home. I had 2 put back, as the doctor said they were way too high quality to risk putting all 3. He was very nervous about the possibility of triplets if we'd done all of them. So, the 3rd will likely be frozen on Sunday.

Here they are before being put back:

And, this is them after (they're the white dots in the circles):

EXCELLENT!!! happy for you and the little ones, will be sending major positive vibes for the next few weeks hoping they stick. Congrats Meg. One step closer, rest up and enjoy this time.

Vicky, as promised here is my turkey recipe. It makes amazing gravy. The cheesecloth technique ensures that it looks golden and beautiful. You won't be disappointed. If you need to know how to make gravy, let me know. Also, I stuff my bird. If you want stuffing recipes, let me know. You don't have to stuff your bird though. If you don't, it will cook faster. The best way to tell that a bird is done is with a meat thermometer. I didn't add a brining recipe, because you have 2 good ones. I'm putting it behind a spoiler because it is long.

Spoiler

Ingredients:

- A few celery
- a few carrots
- Onion
- Soft butter
- Fresh rosemary
- 3 sticks unsalted butter
- 1 bottle dry white wine
- Cheesecloth

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 450 and put rack on lowest level
2. After brining, rinse turkey and pat dry
3. Place celery, onion, carrot into pan. (Can create rack with carrots)
4. Stuff bird – not tightly and tie legs together loosely
5. Rub soft butter and rosemary inside and out of skin
6. Fold neck flap over and secure openings w/toothpicks
7. Melt 3 sticks unsalted butter and combine with 1 bottle dry white wine in a sauce pan.
8. Cut cheesecloth into 4 layer square
9. Put cloth in liquid and squeeze slightly leaving it very damp
10. Spread evenly over breast and half way down sides of bird (it can cover some of leg area)
11. Put in turkey legs first and cook for 30 min. – baste w/wine and butter
12. Reduce temp to between 325 and 350 and cook for 2 1/2 hours more
13. Baste every 30 min
14. After hour 3 remove cloth and turn pan so breast is facing the back
15. Continue to baste
16. Cook for another hour or so depending on size (a 24 lb stuffed bird took 4 hrs in my oven. Dark pans cook faster than stainless steel pans).
17. Insert meat thermometer into stuffing – it should reach 165 degrees.
18. Inserted into breast should reach 170 and 180 in innermost thigh
19. Remove and let sit for 15 – 30 min.
