VJean—What a sweet baby! Lil chunky monkey! Very glad to hear that he’s making improvements. Thank God for NICUs. So were you pumping to keep your milk-flow going before he started nursing? Hope you and the family are hanging in there and that Keegan will be going home soon.
Smiles—Thanks for sharing a new pic of Mia, too. Another sweet lil’ chunky monkey! Can I tell you how delighted I am to see that bow on her head? I just have a strong conviction that if you have a baby girl, you must adorn them at all times with bows and/or flowers stuck to their noggins. And so glad to hear you are past the Baby Blues for the most part, too!
Wish—I was sad to read you cancelled the appointment, but I guess it’s legitimate for you to do, if you are feeling like you are in it alone. I guess it’s only because your DH has swayed back and forth from being on board with TTC and pulling back that I hoped this was just another phase of him needing a break from the focus on it and he’d get back on board. But you are right…if he doesn’t seem to be that invested in becoming a biological father, that’s on him. You have two beautiful girls. You’ve certainly done your part to TTC again and then some!
Terri—Oh noooo. It’s totally understandable that your MIL was getting on your last nerve. And the timing of her visit just sucked ( although not her fault), but I’m sure you would have preferred to have some time to do your own thing after the IVF. That whole story about Little House on the Prairie cracked me up! Not trying to blow smoke up your behind, but it sure does seem like everyone says the frozen transfers have a better success rate. I know you are probably so over this whole thing, but I still believe you will get your baby(ies).
Sis—So glad you got the testing done for both of you. And hells no about the MIL coming to move in one day. You have to nip that in the bud immediately!! Even the best MILs would get under your skin after a while. I dunno, it would just feel like having a permanent house guest where you could never really relax in your own home. Anyway, FX for good test results! Also, I like when you share pictures of your latest projects. Great idea with the urns. We have 2 outside our house that I never even thought about doing something like that with. Hmmmm.
Kfs1—First off, love the new profile pic! And very excited that you’ve begun the IVF journey although it’s too bad about the nasty side effects of the BCP. I always thought people made crap up about the BCP having bad side-effects just because I never personally experienced any for so many years. Then, after my DD was born and I went back on the same pill…..they totally screwed up my body! So, I believe! I believe! Hoping you get some frosties to set aside, as well. I guess it just provides a nice back-up plan or future sibling plan, but look at Moni, she’s still trucking along well with her one little embie!
Radkat—Good to hear from you! I’m having trouble sleeping, too. It’s a small price to pay, for sure, but just an uncomfortable part of the journey. And my DD was notorious for crying at drop-offs and clinging to me even when she loved her teachers, her classmates, the school, etc. so I feel your pain!
Blues—Thinking of you and those damn unfair evap lines. Hope you are doing okay.
Mischief—Sorry that your co-worker is so immature. That’s what it sounds like to me….very self-centered like a pre-schooler. Your line about hoping she’s a SAHM next year cracked me up. Hang in there, your turn will be coming. But sometimes a break is necessary to regroup and re-energize.
Driving—So did I miss it or did you have the GD test yet? Really hope that turns out just fine for you!
Moni—Excited to hear your gender news soon!! Do you have any inklings or intuitions?
Future Mom—Eeeek I just saw your ticker and that you are already 16 weeks along. Where did that time go??!! That’s wonderful. How are things going for you?
AFM—Not a whole lot to report over here, but no news is good news in my book. Just hit the third trimester (can’t believe it) and getting bigger by the week. My belly is now finally bigger than my ridiculously big bazoombas. Oh, and my belly button finally popped out, so there’s that. We should be getting the nursery pulled together in the next couple of weeks. I’m very Type A, so I’m in full on nesting mode right now…I’d really like everything purchased and ready to go for the baby before December so I can focus on just enjoying the holidays, which are busy enough. So, that’s about it. Hi to everyone that I missed!
katie, driving, blues, radkat, nessaw, vjean, terri (don't kill the MIL -but I do have bail money), Erose (where you lady - hope all is ok), felicity, momof3, and geez anyone else I missed...
