Hey Everyone!
I haven't left yet, just busy getting everything ready! I realized yesterday that in all the baby talk I didn't have a dress for the wedding or the reunion!!!! The 2 events that I have to be home for this summer. How could I have forgotten this?
Baby brain!!!
Anyway, so I tore off to Macy's and found 2 nice things. I have to wear plus size (I'm a 16W), which totally sucks, I wish I could just lose another 20 lbs then I would be in regular womens clothes! ARGH. Anyway, I am down from the 18-20 I was earlier this year, so that is a good thing
The problem is that when it comes to plus sized dress clothes, they are all either tent-like or something your great grandmother would wear! Double ARGH! I did find some nice things but of course to get something that would NOT look like a tent I had to pay for it. The clothes I ended up getting were by Alfani, a designer, but hey, at least I look pretty awesome. My credit card is not going to be happy though
Today I have to give Keegan away, he is going to another foster home not too far from where I live. The woman that is taking him already has 4-5 doxies and 2 cats. I'm worried for him as he needs so much attention and love, that with 6-7 other animals already in the house, he won't get the attention he deserves. It isn't my choice, but the rescue organization's decision. Anyway, I'm worried for him and also very sad to see him go. He is such a sweet little guy, but at the same time I know I am doing the right thing. As a single woman embarking on a baby making adventure, 3 dogs is just to much. Zoe is easy, she is 9 and is well trained, and Zach is about 1 and almost potty trained and very mellow. So I know I can handle those guys. Keegan is better off somewhere else I know, still very sad to have to say good bye to him in another hour or so.
Coy - I hope you didn't over-exert yourself with the lawnmower!!! Seems like a lot to be doing when you are pregnant!!! As for the kids, I don't remember how old you said they were, but I think it is totally time for them to learn how to pick up after themselves! My parents didn't hesitate to take toys away if we didn't pick them up. Of course we were taught and warned the first few times. Then if we didn't do it, off they went to 'children that didn't have toys' or to 'children that knew how to pick up after themselves', maybe that is old school (it was the 70s) but I think that is fair game. You will need the help from them as you get closer to your due date, and afterwards, so you may as well get them used to it now!
Alin and Terri - I hope your temps keep rising and AF stays away
I did not dip yesterday, but I did dip this morning with a FRER, and it is still
but I still don't have AF, so I have no idea what is going on up there?
I felt like AF was coming for sure yesterday, but today the cramps are way lower. Oh and I was so excited to have sushi for dinner last night, and I ate the first bite of raw fish and nearly
vomited right there. I thought that if you weren't pregnant and you stopped the progesterone your period would come in the next 2-3 days, well today is day 4 off of it. So where is AF? Only other thing I can think of is that I didn't implant until 12DPO and at 16DPO I'm still not showing a positive on HPTs? That is a really slim possibility I guess. Oh and my temps aren't too bad, they dropped a lot the other day, but are staying above my cover line.
OH.. and yes BF and I had a huge disagreement and I kinda haven't bothered to talk to him in a while. He was recently unemployed and kept whining to me about how he couldn't find a job, but chose not to go to this huge job fair, and everytime I suggested something he had some excuse as to why he couldn't go or they wouldn't hire him. It was just getting old and he got mad at me for not understanding what he was going through, when I do and did I was unemployed for 18 months back in 2008-10. It sucks, and undermines your confidence, and all sorts of other things but the only way to get a job is to be persistent and not let it get you down. I told him that and that is when he got pissed. Anyway, it wasn't like he was the love of my life, and with everything else going on I was best off without him.
I won't be leaving until next Saturday the 30th, and will drive Sat/Sun and arrive at my family cottage on Monday.
OH WOW, that was a long entry!! HEHEHE
