AW Yourself

[ct]

Give us a little aw.  what's going on in your life that you are proud of?

[mk]

I feel affectionate to Big Sister! Sounds kinda pathetic, but it's taken a month to get here, and I'm proud.

oh my goodness - that is awesome!!!  a) how has it been a month already?? b) it took longer than that for me

here's mine: I've lost over 10lbs and will be interviewed on Huffington Post live on Monday! (granted it is regarding the piece I wrote on post-adoption depression and I'm sure the haters will be out, but i'm still proud )

Well, she's been REALLY cute lately! lol She's really trying. She still fails a lot, but I can tell she's trying to be a good girl, she just really doesn't know how. I'm no longer sick and the baby is sleeping much better (through the night last night).  That makes me like *everyone* better! ;-)

I made it through the Clomid portion of my IVF cycle without killing anyone.

Why yes, I DO think this is worthy of an AW.

I am really crafty. This weekend I built 2 tables, into a space and upholstered and sewed a panel skirt for them. Then we decided to make one really large 'family' style bed, since N is sleeping worlds better in our room and so I had to build a 6 inch lift for his full size frame to make it even with ours. It's perfectly level and now we have the largest bed in the world. A California king and a full bed side-by-side. We've redefine the term 'bed'room.

And N slept through the mothafvcking night last night!!!

I was a good sexual partner last night and it was fun! Lol

For the past year since E and I moved into our home, I've done a much better job at meal planning.

I researched our vacation rental options Sunday afternoon and by yesterday, had identified and locked in a place that will fit our needs and is saving us a couple hundred bucks compared to other nearby options.

I got a cavity filled today rather than canceling even though I really didn't wanna.

I've been reviewing material for the certification exam I am taking in August. I know a lot more than I thought I did.

I got a ton of stuff done at work today and almost got caught up from being out yesterday. ALMOST.

My work crush was sitting in my office today in a short skirt and I managed to not stare at her legs.

I've been really good about running.

How does that work?  Is it in addition to stims?

[rikkiandjulie]

The CEO if Caribou Coffee told me to my face that I'm doing good things at work. Swoon.

I hung up all of my clothes for a change.

Yes, it was in addition to but before the stims. 150mg Clomid in the mornings on CD2-6, then the evening of the CD6 (Monday) I started Bravelle/Menopur injections 2x a day. I had a check yesterday and things are looking pretty good, and I'm feeling a lot more normal now that the Clomid is out of my system. I'm also on low dose aspirin and folic acid. I go back on Friday for another check, and hopefully things will be developed enough that he'll have me start the Ganirelix injections that night.

Our LGBT group is being honored by the HRC and the Board of The LGBT center said how great we are doing and well I am the primary one who organizes it and that made me proud but i choose to honor the two there couples who are involved the 1st couple because they ran it b4 us and the 2nd couple cuz they ran it b4 they decided to hate us ( hiring friends is not a good idea)

I second this...not looking at her legs, seriously cracked me up!

[2brides]

Ya'll....it was such a conscious decision the entire time she was in here. Half of my brain was having the conversation and the other half was saying to myself, "keep your eyes above the shoulders...."

[awkwardpenguin]

I've dealt with several difficult situations at work this week without losing my shit.

Gotcha.  Good luck!  We are not going to be too far apart...my estimated transfer day is 4/30.

Ahem. It is not. Bad thing is, she is kinda my boss. I don't report to her, but she is in charge of where I work. Even my wife noticed them at our holiday party.

Bahahahaha. Well at least L noticed them, so you're off the hook! ;P

I decided as I didn't drink energy drinks during pregnancy obviously, that I wouldn't start again (my last job made this a really bad habit). Well I started again due to exhaustion from sleep loss. I decided to really try and I am 2 weeks without one! This is huge! M gave me the money I saved to go do as I please with.

[tattooedmeegs]

I just hit my MS Walk goal of $1,000!

[eratmama]

This week, I feel like, "I made it to thurs" is AW worthy.

Everyone has been sick. Constant rain. But Pumpkin and I made a plan for each day & I got everyone clothed & fed. No trips to the emergency room
