It is SO nasty here. Cold, freezing rain, ick. I know it will pass, and it IS melting the snow a bit, but it is gross. On top of that, I have been up since 3:45 am. I am exhausted and feel out of it and gross.
The good news is baby has been moving a lot this weekend and I felt the first "outside" kick! He was doing something in there Saturday night and I put my hand down and I could feel a little kick. Since then he has been very active and it just makes me so happy
Today is CD2 of my first non-hormonal cycle since having my IUD placed when E was 7 weeks old! I'm not happy about having to deal with periods again butoh well.
Once I have a work schedule, I'll make consultation appointments with the REs here so I can pick one and get set up for a FET!
Non TTC related: today is E's first day in his new daycare and he didn't even cry at dropoff (wtf kid). I plan to pick him up before nap today though. Plans this week include lots of unpacking and studying, now that E is back in daycare.
I'm glad you're feeling more movement now, shauni27! Exciting stuff about the FET, pooh8402.
We had a decent weekend. DS was sick (low grade fever) Friday and the first part of Saturday, but is thankfully feeling much better now! It was so sad to hear his pathetic little cry, it broke my heart.
Yesterday we attempted to bring him to see the Easter Bunny, but while we were in line bunny got escorted out by security for being drunk or high or something =/ He kept nodding off and slumping over. I'm glad he never got his hands on my baby, but so annoying because I dressed DS up and made a trip out to a big suburban mall just to see him.
shauni27, that is so exciting! daisyfay25, yep those posts scare me too. To be fair, pretty much everything scares me lol.
Waiting for bloodwork to see if I can drop PIO. I will keep coming back each week I hate it so much. Other than that I am super tired. Looking forward to my first OB appt and another daycare tour on Thursday.
wtf to the easter bunny being drunk. I've always thought they look extra creepy, with the full face mask....
I had a migraine all weekend, which ruined pretty much everything I had planned. Of course I'm mostly better this morning, which means I can go to work. blah. It's only a half day, though. I see the MFM this afternoon. Hopefully my last visit with him!
Yesterday baby was going nuts and DS saw my stomach moving everytime she kicked. This morning he told me my stomach was "bouncing" again and pointed to my boob. Not quite, kid.
Adora Belle Dearheart, that is so friggin tough, man. You are allowed to be a stuck record, it makes total sense and I am so sorry. It must feel like Wednesday is so far at this point and it is impossible not to lead your head wander. xoxo.

Add me to the headache club...these weather changes are wreaking havoc on my migraines. Not much going on here...EM is 29 weeks tomorrow. She hopefully will have a scan soon to see if the placenta has moved, if not they'll schedule a C-section.
I'm having a rough day, honestly. I am so worried she's changed her mind and just doesn't want to say anything. I don't know if I can start over with this process again...it's been so emotional. I'm exhausted.

I imagine the stress can't be helping with the migraines either. Get yourself a Coke and an ice pack (I love the "bead" ones)!
I'm sorry you're having a rough day. Managing worry can be hard (and it's tiring!). I started seeing the social worker related to our clinic just after our BFP (I got hit with insane anxiety about the whole pregnancy thing) and it's been really helpful in teaching me some coping skills and helping me understand my own thought process. I just wasn't equipped to deal with IF, then the BFP, then the whole limbo thing using my usual approaches.
I definitely understand that. I'm probably going to make an appointment with my therapist to just have a bitch session. Logically, I know there's nothing I can do. The worry isn't affecting my daily life (my sinus migraines really are weather related...I've had them my whole life), but it's present a lot and I think about it. The harsh reality is there really isn't much I can DO at this point, other than try not to think about it. I've been quilting a lot more lately, and exercising, so all that is helping.

So happy you're feeling so much movement shauni27, that's a huge help! ((( Adora Belle Dearheart))) and ((( oneslybookworm))) scm1011, I have to admit that I giggled when I read about the Easter bunny. Seriously, dude?!?
We don't have much on the agenda this week. It's my last week of FMLA so I just want to enjoy every moment with my little boy. We do have an appointment with the ENT to hopefully get some answers about his ears and hearing. He's taking a mega nap right now, so I'm able to catch up on some things like laundry. Yuck.
scm1011 , I have to admit that I giggled when I read about the Easter bunny. Seriously, dude?!?
I don't blame you. The whole thing was 75% horrifying, 25% freaking hilarious. At one point the bunny attempted to get his shit together and waved to all the kids watching the debacle go down, and I lost it. Like dude, the jig is up lol.
Hugs Adora Belle Dearheart. I hope Wednesday brings clarity. oneslybookworm, this whole process seems incredibly stressful, and you are handling it so well. Hang in there.

Apparently I'm having a baby! Getting induced tonight. I was expecting tomorrow or Wednesday, but my preferred OB is on tomorrow and suggested tonight if I wanted her for delivery, plus they'd prefer I deliver by tomorrow (40w), so tonight it is.

Enjoy your last week of FMLA!
Omg! I was laughing at drunk bunny too. I'm sorry! Where was this? We're hoping to take DS for pics this weekend.

Burlington. I loved their Santa, so I made the trip out expecting a stellar bunny as well. Not so much lol
I had a kid bite me at work today. Thankfully I had on a heavy sweater so he didn't break the skin but dang it hurt.
I'm still trucking along, exhausted. When is this energy supposed to start because I'm almost 19 weeks and still tired. I can't wait for the 3rd when I have my anatomy scan. I haven't had an ultrasound since 13 weeks and I'm worried because I haven't felt any movement. I know it can take a while but it worries me. I jut want to hurry up and have the u/s.
I am getting sick of this working from home gig. It's really the worst of both worlds. My work suffers, my parenting suffers, and I feel like I never get a break. I'd put A in daycare part time, but it doesn't make sense to sign her up for something when we're constantly switching countries. I think I'll at least look into a regular babysitter when we get back to Canada though. It's not fair to rely so heavily on my parents.
On the plus side, my little globetrotter ate curry for the first time last night and loved it. I took credit for it, of course, even though her tastes obviously have nothing to do with me.
oneslybookworm I can't imagine. It's been a roller coaster, I keep telling myself that EM is going through an emotional roller coaster as well and she doesn't know how to express her feelings. I am crossing everything for you guys on this.
I'm definitely getting fat...wearing mostly dresses now and I'm only 11 + 4 *cries* My grandpa is in the hospital and my Dad and his brother do not communicate well and my grandma is not mentally capable of handling what the doctors are telling her. It's a cluster. My dad wants my brother and I to "pick up the slack" and I am happy to help but he needs to be a big boy and stop arguing with my uncle and figure it out. They are all capable of handling this if they work together. WHY CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG? It's maddening and my grandparents are the ones suffering.
Due to all of this I had to tell my dads side of the family I'm pregnant because they were asking me to stay in the hospital in a wing of very sick people and I just can't do that right now. My dad was laying on a major guilt trip and I finally had to shut him up. Hopefully telling H's family is more pleasant this weekend.
E had a decent day. Had to get another echo to check her heart since they heard a murmur, but thankfully all is good. Her heart rate is a bit high though, so they are going to check her blood work and I'm guessing she will be getting another blood transfusion tomorrow.
DS will be 10 months right away here, he's growing so fast, wah. We have chosen a daycare, a new one that's right by our house and DDs school, score. We liked DDs old daycare but the convenience of two blocks away from home can't be beat. He won't start daycare until Sept though as I am lucky enough to get the summer off this year.
We're visiting the ILs for Easter, looking forward to getting out of town. We're staying with friends so it should be enjoyable. But between paying for the flights and then a few summer day camps and extracurricular activities I'm feeling pretty tapped out right now. Ugh.
King26- I didn't feel movement until closer to 23 weeks, if I remember correctly. Hang in there it will happen soon.
mrsgoontz- I hate family drama like this. I am currently trying to convince my aunt that grandma needs to move into a home. My aunt is convinced that family can pick up the slack, as grandma is happy at home. Sounds great in theory, but aunt lives 4 hrs away and isn't here day to day. Grandma is suffering because she needs more help then we can provide!
@thoseateradishes- I'm glad she's having a good day and that her heart looks good, murmur wise.
DD is showing more and more of her personality. It's so adorable! We took her to the pool for the first time the other day and after being in the pool for 15ish mins she started smiling and kicking her feet about. It was so cute! A little boy who was about one came over and "played" with her, it was so cute/funny.
I am also getting back to the gym, and DD is using their child minding. (Only $20 a month extra on my pass, and it gives me 1 1/2 a day of child care! And the ladies there are amazing with her.) So far she loves the ladies there. I've taken her 3 times and she just smiles when they pick her up. 😊 and she hasn't been fussy for them yet!
