Hmm.. what can I tell you about us. I'm 24 and he's 30. We have been married for 5 months on Saturday. We actually met on match.com. I was working for an accounting firm at the time (I'm a CPA) and he posted that he was the VP of one of our clients. He had this really dark creepy picture so I never thought anything would come of it. I more just messaged to say hey I work for your CPA firm. Anyway, we chatted for hours after he got my response and made dinner together at our now home the next day. I wouldn't say it was love at first sight but we definately had a connection. That was May 12 and 13, 2008. We got engaged last December about a week before Christmas and I still have the contract on our refrigerator dated 12/21/2010 for where we had our wedding/reception.

He completely accepts my baby crazy and when I found this forum he already had a forum that he has been attached to every day for over a month so it worked out perfectly. His forum is an Android development forum and he's constantly working out kinks in designs for his phone and making all the apps work. Stuff like that that I have Zero interest in. He started doing that with my Android phone a few months ago and after updating it like 4 times and resetting everything everytime I told him I was happy with it and no more changes for a while. :)

Our huge things right now are that 1. He is looking for a new job after being with his current company for over 12 years and 2. That we are obviously TTC. I had LEEP done in October though and my Dr told me not to get prego before at least 1 pap which is scheduled next Friday. So happy to get this over with.

I also have a sister-in-law who has been TTC #2 since before I met my husband and she went to the dr this week and the witch told her she has been missing her O every month for 3 years which I think is total bs. She wasted 8 months before her dr would have a fertility meeting with her and that is all she said. She put her on some pills for 3 months and then I then she may try an IUI. If she is not prego in 6 months that dr can't do anything for her and is going to refer her to MY obgyn who is an amazing fertility specialist. She doesn't actually need the referral to go to my dr but mine is male and hers is female so she is hesistant. Just sounds to me like she has wasted over a year TTC by not going to a specialist sooner. She wants a baby so bad right now she wants to adopt if nothing else but her hubby is dead set against it.

Is there anything else you would like to know?
 
Elliot: It was good but the whole time I was thinking "Ahhhh, some random man touching me!" and then it would be "But his hands are so big and strong, this feels good" Two seconds later "Ahhhh random guy touching meeeeeee!"

So it was a roller coaster. The massage was great, its just my head that was the problem lol.
 
Fabulous message, Sheryl!

Is it Clomid that your SIL is on?

So are you using OPKs to check when you O etc? oh, and do you use a website to track your days? Most of us use FF (with links in our siggys).

So the other thing that I was super excited about in your post was that your DH writes Android apps :) I'm the self-proclaimed techy goddess in the group so if you scroll back, you'll see a million messages where I'm writing a million boring messages about getting people's FF charts in order etc.

Oh, and I have an Adroid phone too! The Droid 2 to be exact. And love it!

It's okay that you had MIXED feeling about the man touching you. It made for some hilarious posts! :haha:

I think it made my husband feel better that I didn't really enjoy it because he wasn't too happy about having a male massage therapist lol.

Thank you for sharing, Sheryl!! How long have you been ttc??
 
All right, so DH and I just bought an apartment. I'm trying to pick out paint colors. Does anybody know if light colors actually look darker on walls, or do they wind up looking the same exact way they do on the sample??
 
Um so Liz, how do I add things to my chart and save?? Please dont laugh :wacko:
 
Yayyyy congratulations TL. I am always in for light colours and as far as my experience goes it makes the room look pretty well-lit.
 
Welcome Sheryl. I am sure u gonna love this group.

I'm trying to make the 2nd bedroom a greenish color (not puke), so that when a baby does one day arrive, pink or blue will look good in there :) So, I picked this very light green, but I'm having 2nd thoughts about it -- Maybe it should be more bold?? But, I do agree -- The lighter the color, the better lit the room will look, and I want any future nursery to be bright.

It depends on the lighting. More then likely they will look darker then they did in the store because of the florescent lighting. But whatever you see when you are in YOUR house will be close to what they look like. It also depends on the type of paint that you use. Flat paints will look lighter, where as satins will look a bit darker.
 
Sheryl - Thanks for sharing your story! I first stumbled on this forum when I had started to get frustrated with TTC and was SO happy to find such a wonderful group of supportive gals here! They're all wonderful! :hugs:

TL - I find sometimes paint colors look lighter on the walls, and sometimes darker. I used what I thought was a nice pale color once and it ended up looking kind of Easter egg :blush: I've finally realized that my Mom is right about paint colors (for me at least)... she says to paint two coats on a section of the wall before trying to decide for sure. Sometimes she even buys one of those mini cans to make sure she likes the color before buying more. Congratulations on your new appartment! How exciting! :happydance:

We're working on painting our "spare room" too, the one that will be for the baby. We're going with green as well and have one picked out that looks kind of mossy on the wall, it's soothing and calm and not too dark, and I just love it!
 
Oh... another bad paint color tale... when my DH and I were preparing to sell our first house the realtor said we should paint the front proch cause it looked kind of dingy and the paint was flaking. We decided to do a nice mellow earthtone brown. DH picked it out and started painting while I was at work one day. I came home to find the porch exactly the color of a classic milk chocolate hershey bar... it was wretched! Our realtor said that wasn't quite what she'd had in mind! :haha:

That's funny. Well, it sounds like you sold that house, so something worked at least :)

Oh dear.. you had to ask, right? I'm terrible at remembering these things and we picked it over the summer (I know, what a bunch of slackers, right? we still haven't finished painting yet!)

I know it's either Lowe's or Home Deport store brand, and it seems closest to one of these two colors:

This stupid Lowe's link won't work!!! I keep telling it to link to "Crocodile Smile" but the link keeps pointing to "Peaceful Leaf" You'll find the color I mean if you just follow this link, then cursor over the first column of related color choices. Crocodile Smile is in that column about halfway down.https://www.valsparatlowes.com/en/explore-colors/color-selector/index.html?screen=swatchScreen&colorId=2465#1

Ladies, by the end of the day (or, at least by the time I get preggers) I will be a FF master :)
