I am going to San Fran tomorrow for work and I am really excited. I haven't been in almost 5 years but we just opened a SF office and a woman on my team is now based there so I will be going a few times a year now. I have a cousin who lives there and we have plans tomorrow night and I am pumped. I also have most of Friday free and I am taking a red eye home so I am trying to decide what to do with my time:)
On a depressing side we decorated our tree last night and in the bin with the ornaments were our christmas cards to each other from last year, both of us mentioned in the cards that this will be our "last christmas with the two of us". That was wishful thinking!

I'm trying to stay motivated at work...just this week and next, and then I'm off until Jan 5th! MUST. STAY. MOTIVATED.
I'm grabbing BBQ with a friend for lunch today...super excited! Then, Thursday, DH and I are hosting a holiday party for our work teams (all of which are also friends) at our place. It's the first time ever that we're actually catering in food, so I don't have to cook! I love it! Then, this weekend I'm playing in a holiday band concert, which should be fun.
Otherwise, I'm just excited for Christmas. This month is a total bust with TTC, as we were sick during the FW, so it leaves a bit of freedom with the booze. Overall, should be a happy holiday on the champagne front! I even had a nice of bubbly while wrapping presents last night!
oneslybookworm that is awesome that you have so much time off at the holidays!! When I used to work for pharma my company shut down for the holidays as well it was awesome.
We really enjoyed our weekend in NYC, we got to see a great play and ate way too much! It was really cold though, so I'm happy to be back in Miami. I'm a baby when it comes to cold weather, but I love to be able to wear winter clothes.
Right now I'm trying to stay motivated at work for a few more days. We fly home for the Holidays on the 23rd and come back on the 5th, we're excited about that!
We're on the TWW and staying hopeful, we had good timing.

preppy - it's definitely one of the perks to our company! We always shut down for the week between Christmas and New Years, then depending on what days it falls, there are a few extra days in there as well. This year, we're using vacation for the 22nd and 23rd of December, then we get December 24th through January 5th off for free!

I have kind of a busy week ahead, I have my last final for the semester tomorrow, but I am so over studying so we'll see how it goes. As soon as I'm finished I have to jump in the car and drive 2.5 hours for a job interview so a very busy day. Then this coming Sunday I'm running a half marathon, that I am probably not well-enough trained for, yikes! I'm just looking forward to this semester being over so I can focus on the holidays, I love Christmas and I'm excited to start wrapping gifts, getting out all my Christmas CD's, and watching movies. I also think I'll be going shopping with my sister on Thursday, and with my mom on Saturday, so fun week overall!
On the TTC front, there is officially no way we will be pregnant in 2014. We are getting a repeat SA for DH on Thursday. Hopefully this one has better news, but if not, at least we will have a plan moving forward for 2015.
I have so much work to do but I can't focus on it. It's awful since I know what I need to do, but I can't do it.
I've also been struggling with things after the m/c but the holidays seem to heighten those emotions. I keep hoping it will get better, but it's not happening. Everyone asks what I want for Christmas and I don't want anything but what we lost.

I'm loving my new job right now (I just started this week). I worked for this company for 6 years before, so I kind of just fell right back into the swing of things. I'm WFH Full time, and it is amazing! I feel like I have so much extra time in my day.
I feel like we are probably out this cycle since I'm starting to feel a little bit crampy. I thought we had really good timing too.

Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.
I'm so busy at work, which is a great distraction. I'm going to our state Capitol for a meeting today, and I'm so nervous! And now I'm worried that I'm the smelly kid, lol, and my desk deodorant ran out, so I need to run to CVS for more. My tummy won't quit gurgling either! Haha

FF won't give me crosshairs and it's making me CRAZY. based on the last few months my temps aren't THAT crazy (they're always up and down before O, and smaller rises and falls during the 2WW) and between temps and OPK and CM, i should have O'd either thursday or friday. but it's just chilling and acting like i didn't drop any eggs at all, lol
@ranngoli so many hugs girl, the holiday are a hard time of year. Vent away.
My dr gave me a prescription for progesterone yesterday so I picked it up this morning and I am hoping that it brings on AF and things are fine from here on out, because this marathon cycle sucks.

I hope that this is the end of the rough road for you. 2015 is your year!
preppy have a great time in SF! We were supposed to go this weekend, but decided to stay home because of how crazy life has been. I'm disappointed to miss the decorations this year. They're always wonderful there!

Sorry for being so depressing.
Hugs. I'm struggling with the same feelings.
Hugs to you, too. I am hoping that 2015 is a better year for us all.
I hope you have a fantastic time in San Francisco @preppy! That was our favourite vacation - we both enjoyed it more than our honeymoon in many ways.
DH brings up moving there every 6 months or so. It's a hotbed for his specific industry and I could work anywhere in the world. Sometimes I think it would be great, but then I remember that there would be no way we could actually afford to sail and afford a place to sleep in that area of the world.
My random is that yet again it is too early to test (will wait until Saturday), but I am 99% certain I am pregnant. I'm basing this entirely on the fact that I have been incredibly hot the past two days and I am never hot. Science!
I'm off for Christmas & New Years starting Dec 19th and don't return until Jan 5th. Ah, this is an awesome perk of working for a public school district. And H is taking the week of Christmas off. I'm SO excited! Also, H and I are staying home until late Christmas morning/early afternoon before heading to my parents' house 2.5 hours away. It's the first time in our 5 years of marriage that we'll spend Christmas Eve and morning at our house just the two of us. Squeee!
I thought we had amazing timing last cycle and was super disappointed when AF showed up to taunt me. There were tears. It doesn't help that everyone around me seems to be pregnant.
