My Poor guy Peyton needs to retire !!!

 

[Joy143]

Yes Terri! More than beer cans grr. I'm just hoping things are getting better. Looks like they might be.

Sis he should hang it up after this year. He is too inconsistent right now. I'm trying to figure out how we beat the Packers and then suck the next 2 games?!

AFM-I had a GP visit last week and go for bloods today. Not sure what she is doing because she didn't calculate it based on my cycle so maybe just the standard stuff and not hormones? Being that I started on Saturday though, not sure if I should suggest doing hormones again. This is all gonna be out of pocket though because of the insurance deductible so idk.

 

[Sis4Us]

If u started Saturday u could do CD3 bloods today it's still a base line so it would work!! HTH

 

[Joy143]

Yeah so that didn't go well. I forgot the fasting portion of the game and ate a piece of turkey bacon when I was making breakfast for the grandbaby. LOL I am rescheduled for tomorrow but the hormone testing is not going to happen this month. Brilliant move huh

 

[terripeachy]

Down with the turkey bacon!!! Sorry you missed your opportunity Joy, but now maybe we can hope for another short cycle for you so you can get your hormone testing done. Hopefully your out of pocket expense will be cheap if you've already met your deductible. At my work, once you meet your deductible, you are only responsible for another 20% or so. fxfx

Sis-How are you feeling these days? Hopefully you're not as sad as you were last week and the week before.

 

[Joy143]

Well looks like today isn't going to happen either. Blizzard conditions today and school is closed. DH doesn't want me out on the roads so I have to call and cancel the blood work. Darn that turkey bacon! No self control over here hee hee At least he is home too so we can start a fire and just snuggle down at home together.

How is everyone doing this week?

 

[Sis4Us]

Rainy windy conditions here so DH didn't want me going into the Library today which is fine I wasn't on the schedule anyways!!

We r taking a mini Vaca tomorrow to the new Golden Nugget Casino in Lake Charles well he has meetings but I get to Gamble hoping to land some Holiday Cash!!

 

[moni77]

Its been a LONG time since I have been on and went to the first page to see how people are doing - and OMG Congrats sis!!! So excited for you. Wish I could spend more time catching up with people - maybe over the holidays!

 

[Blueshoney]

Just a quick update. I got my panorama test results back and we are having a healthy baby girl! I'm shocked I was positive it was a boy.

 

[Fezzle]

Congrats, Blue! We were the same- surprised at a girl! And so glad to hear the other test results were good!

 

[terripeachy]

Congratulations Blues!! Yeah!!!

 

[kfs1]

Moni!! - So good to hear from you. Post some new pics of the babe soon if you can!

Blues - Congratulations! Are you excited about having a little girl? I was convinced towards the end that I was having a boy, too, because everyone around me was guessing that.

Hey Fezzle, Joy, Sis, Terri, Wish/Twinnie, & Katie! Hope everyone's doing well!

So, I'm in the midst of my first week back to work.The first day was HORRIBLE but it's been OK. Daycare says that she's been great but she is EXHAUSTED after we pick her up. I'm sure she's just getting used to things but it's just so sad. Work has been fine - they're very supportive and they're letting me work from home 2 days a week until the end of the year (possibly longer) so I can keep Adeline home later and pick her up earlier. I still have to bring her for part of the day, though, because I have video conferences and things and wouldn't be able to get anything done. Anyway, we're adjusting to our new normal. I just hope she is a little more rested eventually. It's tough ladies.

 

[Fezzle]

Hi kfs! I'm sure things will get better for both of you as you adjust. That's great you can work a couple days from home and cut down a bit on the daycare time. My DH seems to think once I got back that all days I can work from home (which at some points of the year is often), that's days of no daycare- i don't know when he thinks I would actually do work!

 

[Katie Potatie]

Blues--Congrats on healthy baby girl!! When are you telling the family?

Moni--So glad to hear from you! Yes, please post pictures if you can! . I can certainly understand your absence from the thread, has a baby keeps you incredibly busy on top of your pre-baby life. hope you are doing well!

Kfs1--With my daughter, I was in a job where I worked from home and after maternity leave, was able to keep her home with me two days a week for a couple of months because my work was slow during that period. But it was tough trying to get anything done! People truly don't understand. I think it is wonderful that your job is been so helpful and understanding. That's a great company! It is very tough taking them to daycare in the beginning. But if I can have her any silver linings, you appreciate your time with so much more. I swear, the time with my daughter didn't seem to go as fast even though I was working full-time, and I think that is because I truly treasured each moment that I had with her. And because she was in Day Care from the start, I think that helped with her being so independent and social and able to adapt to new people. Cody cries whenever I'm out of his sight because I'm the only face he sees most of the time! Hang in there lady!

 

[Joy143]

Congratulations Blues!!! That's wonderful to hear.

KFS1- I'm so glad they got you some work at home time and you get to do the late/early thing. Every little bit helps when you are getting adjusted to a new normal. Adeline might be exhausted because everyone at day care plays with her constantly which at home we can't go like that. LOL It beats her being ignored but she's gonna have to learn to take her nap time seriously ha ha ha lights out and sound asleep.

Sis- How was your mini vaca? Hope you won some holiday cash instead of leaving it behind hee hee

Terri-What's going on in your neck of the woods? Are you feeling good about the picks for this weekend? I need you to retain your #1 spot. LOL Dad still hanging around or has he moved on already? I was thinking maybe he would stick around since it's so close to Thanksgiving and all. I'm not feeling turkey this year. Think I may go for leg of lamb instead. Planning my grocery shopping now...

A big HELLO to everyone else. Hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

AFM-Movin and groovin over here. Just started working at the post office this week for the holiday season. It's not bad at all but I'm trying to get the hang of balancing home and work. At least I don't go until the afternoon most days and work a short 6 hour shift (so far) Nothing exciting this cycle. Just waiting to see if I will ovulate as I didn't last cycle and it was short. I do NOT need this to become a trend. sigh what can I do

 

[Sis4Us]

I was up and got upgraded to the Presidential sweet all cuz they gave our room away and I was PG!! But when I went to cash in my winnings I got bored and lost them

Congrats Blues on a Girl sorry it's hard for me to be happy for everyone getting what I tried so hard for so I'm Outty Again!!

 

[Blueshoney]

KFS-It must be so hard to leave her! That's so great though that you will be able to work from home some. That will make it much easier.
Katie - Will you be putting Cody into daycare to socialize?
Joy- You are a brave woman to work at the Post Office during the holiday season! Any environment where you have to deal with the public for the holidays is just pure hell! I still have nightmares about my time in retail.
Sis-Your mini vacay sounded great!

AFM-I have a drs. appointment on Monday. Hopefully I will get clearance to work out again. I was only permitted by the RE to do very low impact, so now that I am in my 12 week, I hope I can at least run. I don't think I will get permission to do insanity again.

 

[Joy143]

Good luck at the doctors Blues. Even if you have to take it easy for a while you should be able to do something. I can't believe you did insanity! I thought about it but had to pass. Good for you though. Maybe instead of jogging you could just walk. I really like getting my 4 miles in because it relieves stress but gets the heart going too. At the post office I work in the back mostly so I deal with business customers that come to the loading dock to drop off bulk mail and do mailbox collection. Only sometimes do I help out front but just doing simple stuff. It's easy and on days like today I literally did an hour of work and sat around drinking coffee waiting on a delivery that never came. Finally was cleared to go after waiting 5 hours. LOL I don't anticipate that happening again. Holiday rush is about to begin!

Hey Fezzle! How are you doing? Can't believe you are already 6 months! Wow it seems to have gone by fast.

Terri-What's a happening hot stuff?

Hope everyone is doing well.

AFM- Hubby is on break from school so hoping we can get some grown up time together this week. Just happens to coincide with a good time in my cycle so all hopes are pinned on ACTUALLY ovulating this month.

 

[Fezzle]

I'm good- just hit 'V-day'- the age when there's some chance the baby would be viable outside the womb if born early. A bit of a morbid milestone, and still a really scary thought, but I've always seen it as pretty far along when others have reached it, so that makes me feel like things have really moved along! I feel like it's more of a countdown than a count up now which is nice! I don't have any more scans scheduled, but have a midwife appointment on Wed. Soon I'll be getting my glucose test so that's the next hurdle to cross!

Joy- I really hope you ovulate! Sounds like the timing will be great!

Blues- I hope you're able to work out. If you were doing a lot before you got pregnant, it shouldn't be a problem at this point now that things are well implanted in there. Though insanity sounds very intense!

 

[terripeachy]

I was asked to bring pecan pie to my friend's house for Thanksgiving. My dad and my husband love it, and all I know about it is that it's super sweet. So..I'm going to the grocery store today to get my supplies, and hopefully the store won't be super crowded. Wish me luck.

My weekend of doing nothing was so great. I was hoping to get my book club book notice that it was available, but I'm still on the wait list, so hopefully I'll have it by this weekend. Yes, I'm too cheap to buy it for my Kindle. All of the library copies are checked out and that includes the entire county. It's crazy.

Blues-I hope you get the a-ok to start working out again.

Fezzle-Yeah for V-day. It really seems like time and your pregnancy is flying.

Joy-Yay for some adult time around ovulation. fxfx. hee hee.
