%% OLDIES But GOODIES %%

kfs1-My dad is random. He says he'll be here a week, but I'm not really sure. If he stays two weeks that's fine by me. Tomorrow is hubs' birthday. I thought we were going to go to the Os game tomorrow night, but he said that he doesn't want to go because he's not an Os fan. So...I exchanged the tickets for another day and I'll just go with someone else (or not). I got tickets assuming he would want to go with me, but I guess that's not the case. Anyway, tonight my dad is treating us to dinner. Tomorrow the guys have golf in the morning, cookout in the afternoon, and then we're all supposed to go to the new casino. I offered to be DD, but now I'm not sure if I want to even go. I'm a little sore on the insides today so I'm definitely not leaving my desk for long.

Sunday, my bestie is taking me out for bday/condolence dinner, and then it's my bday week, so tons of stuff planned (including an Os game on Wednesday-haha).

Joy-Sorry the witch got you.

 

[kfs1]

Terri - That stinks about the O's game tomorrow. I wouldn't push yourself to go to the casino if you're not feeling up to it. It might be best to just take it easy. Dinner with my girls after my miscarriage was the BEST medicine so I'm happy that you're going out on Sunday. Women can just relate more, even if they haven't been through fertility issues. And you need to make this birthday week a special one. You've been through so much - you deserve happy times and a celebration.

Sorry ladies had a stomach bug the last couple of days. Yuck! But the silver lining is I dropped a few pounds from it just in time for our trip to Vegas! So there's that.

TERRI glad to hear the D&C went well considering the shizziness of having to do it to begin with. How are your spirits doing friend? Happy Birthday week next week. I hope you enjoy your special day...er, week!

Will have to catch up on everyone later just wanted to say I didn't forget about you TERRI!

 

[terripeachy]

Katie-It's never good to drop weight because you're sick even if you have a vacation coming up. HA!!HA!! Glad you're feeling better.

I'm doing fine. Birthday week has begun. My dad treated us to dinner on Friday night, hubs had his party on Saturday and my girlfriend and I ended up going to the casino. She won about 8 bucks, and I lost $7, so not too bad, but there were definitely not a lot of people there nor were there are a lot of ringing/winning machines. Apparently, the casino is losing money (what else is new). Not sure if it's the location or the fact that it's not paying out enough or what, but it does look nice and there was free parking and free hybrid parking which is a double bonus in my book.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

*hug* Terri. Glad the D&C went easy, at least physically...

 

[Joy143]

Katie-Hope you stay well for vacation. Vegas baby! LOL

Terri- Good to hear you are doing ok. Yay dad for a meal out I'm always good with a night off from cooking. Glad you had some girl time with your friend. Laughter is good for the soul.

AFM- Spent the weekend on the couch. Migraines off and on for 3 days, thank you AF Looking like it's going to be a rainy week so I'll be indoors baking and hanging out with my grandson. Just waiting on next week so we can practice that baby making again. Feel like I'm taking enough supplements to choke a horse. Anyway, hope everyone had a great weekend.

Still busy w Graduation stuff and I took DS1 to get his 1st Tatt and got some more color done .... It's Almost done one more session and I should be good to go

Oh yea and I got AF but it only lasted Sunday and 1/2 a day yesterday
Start Clomid today trigger this time so FXFX!!

 

[Joy143]

Happy Birthday Terri! Enjoy your week!

Sis- First tatt and graduation prep? You are one strong mama to be handling all that! Everything ok with the school and graduation? FX for you with the clomid.

 

[terripeachy]

My dad is still in town and he can be high maintenance, so I haven't had a lot of down time to keep up, check the computer etc..and we're still going strong for birthday week, so I've been busy.

Sis-Hope the clomid/trigger does it for you. Awesome about your son's tattoo and graduation and such. Sorry for AF.

Hi to everyone else. I'm doing ok..need break from a house with three men (does Fun count? I think he's still a boy), but what can you do? *sigh*

 

[Joy143]

everyone!

Try and enjoy birthday week Terri. You'll just have to get some quiet/down time later on.

Sis- If this rain keeps up we may have a swimming pool soon! LOL Haven't been able to do anything for gardening with all the rain. Broke a record for most rain in a day yesterday. Ready for some fun in the sun!

Is it just me or does it suck waiting for ovulation week to finally get here? LOL Would just rather be doing something toward baby making. haha Oh well. Hope you all have a great day

 

[Sis4Us]

I think I updated the first page correctly let me know if I missed anything!!

We r having our Appeal today Hopefully the Principal will do it because I'm to the point of Tnroat punching all the Assistant Principals!!
Guess we will know today what the Veridct is!!

 

[Future Mom]

Hello All!!!

Terri - Happy Birth Week!!! I do that sometimes too, but it usually takes the form of watching one harry potter movie each night and eating junk food

Joy - I hope you get your sunshine soon! We have sunshine here but it's not all that warm.

Sis - So much drama at the school! I hope the ruling's in your favour. And btw thanks for all your work on the front page here. You can put "Welcome Daniel" beside my name if you like.

AFM - just enjoying the sun and the baby (holy crap - do they ever crap a lot ) and our new house and, well, my coworkers are now on STRIKE so I'm pretty glad not to have to be involved with that. I'm having them over for a BBQ on Sunday, figured they deserved some pampering right now.

 

[terripeachy]

The front page looks good, Sis! So many success stories.

 

[Joy143]

Front page looks good to me Sis! Now if only I can get some positive action behind my name LOL At this rate they need a punch in the throat and a kick in the shins. Sheesh! Hope you got good news today because this is ridiculous

Thanks FutureMom! Unfortunately the forecast for the next 10 days (YES 10) is rain every day! Deliver me one arc please LOL Enjoy your sun for me and hope you have a good time with your co-workers. That's so sweet of you to throw a BBQ for them. Great way to try and relieve some stress from the situation. And maybe you can let someone else handle a poopie diaper for you

 

[kfs1]

Terri - You need a break, girl! Make some plans with a girlfriend and go and relax somewhere. Take some time for yourself.

Joy - The whole process of TTC is exhausting - especially all of the waiting. At least when you're in the TWW, it's out of your hands though.

Sis - The front page looks great. I don't know how you keep track. How did the appeal go?

Future - Glad to hear that you're enjoying your time with the babe. Any new pics?

Nothing much new here. Heading to FL tomorrow for a wedding. It'll be nice to see friends - just have to get through the flight first - I'm not a huge fan of flying.

 

[terripeachy]

kfs1-Hope you have a great trip. Luckily the flight to FL isn't that long, so hopefully you'll be ok. Maybe you can watch a movie on the plane or something to distract you/keep you focused on other things. Have so much fun!

Futuremom-Yeah, a BBQ is a great idea for your coworkers, and yes, be happy you aren't in the midst of all that. And..I'm sure some of them would be more than happy to change a diaper. hee hee.

Joy-Ugh..more rain? It's supposed to rain here today and we had flash floods the other night, so I guess I need to keep my eye on your rain because it's probably headed this way.

Hi to everyone else!

 

[Future Mom]

Postpartum update...went to see OBGYN for 6 week checkup and good news/bad news...bad news is that the stitches haven't quite healed, so 2 more weeks before (poor OH was already counting down the hours I think ). Good news is that we are cleared for TTC again for #2 at that point! In fact, she said that given my age (39) and OH's (47), "Time is of the essence!", so 6 months of trying and then right back in to see her for help if needed. We're really glad to be able to try again so soon even it means breastfeeding and diapering two at once. Totally worth it if we are fortunate enough to conceive again. So...I'll be back to peeing on a stick with you girls soon!

 

[Blueshoney]

Sis-was your son able to graduate?
Terri- Happy Belated Birthday!
Joy-i hope you got alot of bding in!
Future - im so excited thst you can begin trying for number two!
Kfs-i can't believe you are 30 weeks already!
Afm-i feel like this has been the slowest tww. I've been testing out the trigger and now hoping it turns back to positive!

Hey all~

Sorry for the long delay - things are pretty hectic. Oliver Max was born at 5:27pm on April 7th. He was 5 weeks early and 5lbs 13 ounces and 17.5 inches at birth. My water broke in the middle of the night and they ended up needing to give me Pitocin to get the contractions progressing. I made it about 4 hours after starting the Pitocin before I got the epidural – best decision ever! I delivered 3 hours later after about 30 minutes of pushing.
Oliver needed to go into the NICU and stayed there for 8 nights. (The hospital let me stay in an extra bed after my discharge so I could continue to breastfeed throughout the night). My days consisted of 3 hour increments – go to the NICU – breastfeed for about 20-30 minutes (they didn’t want me to tire him out too much), give Oliver a bottle with breastmilk and spend a little time with him. Go back to my room to pump for 20 minutes and maybe have about an hour to 1.5 hours to eat, sleep or do anything – so pretty much no time at all.
He is eating a lot better but only likes to sleep on me - so my sleep schedule is quite lacking. We did our first road trip this weekend - 3 hour drive to the in-laws. MIL is playing with Oliver right now, so I had some free time to catch up here. (I feel weird posting without going through everything I missed first.) So I have read all the ups and downs.

Here are a couple of pics! I haven't really downloaded all my pics so these are a little old. If you want to stay up to date with us and see new pics, and are on facebook, you can friend me (Monica Snitily Root) or I started a private group for Oliver - so search Oliver Max Root group and request to join.

Hope all is well with everyone else and hopefully I'll be able to check in more frequently.

Sis - what happened or is happening with your sons situation - that is messed up that they are giving him such a hard time for a first offense!

Futuremom - we were almost birthday twins! I had my 6 week checkup and got a green light on all restrictions - she didn't give me the ok to start ttc again - not sure when we will be ready to do so - with our issues we will prob just be ntnp for awhile. I'm not going to start bc until after I get AF the first time at the very least - and then we will evaluate where we are at that point. Since I am BF I expect it to be at least a few months (hopefully!)
