TR, me too. When my OB said, as I made the first appt, that we'd be getting an u/s at 8wks I was SO RELIEVED. And all the monitoring b/c of the twins (u/s every 2 weeks) made me feel better. So maybe it'll be twins and you'll get to see them all the time!!!
I got some kind of news about that job I want to apply for (okay, I've been stalking it). Turns out there is going to be a big shake up in our organization. I don't know. I am going to apply for it. Of course my one supervisor said "There you go Hubes!" and my other supervisor said "Oh, she's not eligible," in a sing-song voice. So, now I'm more and more determined to get it (especially after she bemoaned that she should just transfer and she wouldn't have to work so hard).
I drug T out of the house twice this morning kicking and screaming, but he didn't cry at drop-off, she just sat with Elmo and ate his breakfast.
I forgot to start the crockpot this morning. So maybe we'll have something else for supper tonight.
There is a TS heading our way and our generator is not working and the gen guy is not returning my calls (and hasn't for 3 weeks). I am so annoyed at my landlord for insisting that no one else can fix it.
Aw Eddy, I still get misty sometimes dropping off my son and he is almost 4!! They will always be our babies!!
I am soo thankful that it cooled down enough last night that we could turn off all the fans in the house. Now if my cold would go away I would be perfect!
It's nice to get away when I travel for business but last night my son clinged to me and cried when I told him I was leaving today. That's the part I always hate. :-(
I'll be 8 weeks. That's too early to hear a heartbeat on a doppler right? That's all I want, to know that everything is progressing the way it should.
Generally, the earliest is around 10 wks and I think some of this has to do with placenta placement. I rented a doppler with both pregnancies, after two miscarriages in a row, it brought me great peace of mind when I was carrying C. I was able to pick something up around 10wks with both girls, but like I said, that can be on the early side, but generally by 12 weeks you should be able to pick it up. I went with Baby Beats if you are interested.
Tamb, I love that song. It is so goofy and honestly, fun to sing along with.
TR, I know what you mean. We got pregnant the first try too. And then it was twins and then they could have CF and then we waited a loooong time to find out if they did and then I had to stop commuting b/c my cervix shortened and then I carried them past 35wks and then I had a great vaginal delivery and they were both fine................ sometimes I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop for them health wise. But I learned recently you can't hold onto that.
So moral is -- keep breathing and enjoy every second. I did not enjoy my pregnancy as much as I should have b/c of all that crap and all the worry.
we just watched sunday's true blood and i thought, "FINALLY it's getting good!" then realized there is only one more episode left. wtf. this season has been so boring.
i'm leaving for d.c. thursday to visit old friends and i am so excited i can't even focus. i'm obviously thrilled to see my friends, but i think i may be more excited to be back in that city. i love it so, so much.

Ha, yep, I was singing along! I remember when it came out, my mom would kind of hum and do the head bob along with it, but she'd never admit to us she liked it. lol
Nama, are you charting to conceive, avoid, or just figure things out at this point? It does seem complicated when you start, but becomes pretty clear once you've done it for a month or so. Weirdly, I actually found charting on a hardcopy chart less confusing than using the FF app. I feel like the app gives me too many potentially fertile days and then screws me up by not pinpointing which day I actually ovulated until after the fact.
I didn't think you could ever confirm ovulation until after it's happened. But I also thought charting would be harder than it was. I was really intimidated at first, but once I had one full cycle (which was looooong being the first cycle off bcp) and could see the temp shift, it was easier to understand.
No, you're right, i didn't know I had ovulated until after the fact, but I was just able to better predict it without all the other info that is on the FF app. Then again, I also got pregnant while charting to avoid (I got a bit cocky about my fancy very predictable cycle), so feel free to completely disregard all info offered by me on this topic.

I love this season, and I love it sooo much more then last season. I haven´t watched Sunday´s episode yet.
I asked the head of secondary if I can get a class pet. I really want a snake, but I don´t think they are going to go for that. My second option is a guinea pig, but then they joked that at the end of the year, we can have a cuy BBQ. :-|
- I have to go grocery shopping today and I don't feel like it. Sometimes...most of the time these days I don't feel like meal planning. At least I don't have to cook tonight since we have a friend's birthday dinner to go to.
- I have been running around like a chicken with my head cut off these past few weeks with the girls and working on my online shop. I'm slowly learning how to balance it all.
- I can really go for a BLT right now but I have no bacon or romaine lettuce.
What are you reading, cjoy? Your lunch plans sound lovely.
I'm finally reading The Girl Who Played With Fire. I don't know why I was so hesitant to read it. I really liked the first one after I got about halfway through it. This one has been much easier to get into right away!
My baby is a crabass today. She seriously needs a fucking nap and will not take one. I even laid down and physically held her in bed. The only thing that achieved was me getting scratched and my hair pulled. When did terrible twos start happening at 17 months. I quit smoking July 1st. After the way the day has started, I NEED nicotine!
i have this hand sanitizer in a pump on my desk (i have a cold. and offices are gross). it has aloe in it or something, so it's not clear. sort of whitish.
anyway, yesterday i must have hit it accidentally so there was some dried hand sanitizer on my desk when i got in this morning. i thought it looked like dried jizz. my cold medicine is so jacking with my head that i confirmed that it was merely dried hand sanitizer by sniffing it. WTF was i thinking?
i was all "oh, yeah, just hand sanitizer. OH MY GOD WHAT THE EVERLOVING HELL WAS I THINKING I WANT TO DIE."
anyway, clearly i'm not fit for acting like a grown up today. i've had 2 meetings so far and have another this afternoon. i think i'm going to try to look contemplative and take notes.
Speaking of ultrasounds, I had to push mine back a week bc the technician will be out and they only do them one day a week. I am so bummed. I know its no big deal waiting that extra week, but I was sooooo looking forward to seeing the little one in there. I will be 20 1/2 weeks as opposed to 19 1/2 weeks so I guess its better that it will further along, but I'm DYING to see my baby! For some reason I'm really sad over this, I want to go home now and crawl into bed until 2 Wedensdays from now.

I'm finally getting around to reading The Hunger Games. Lol.
Do you like it so far? I was surprised by how much I liked those books...
1. I wish everyone would stop trying to get all up in my uterus. The Republican GOP's platform apparently includes a "human life" Constitutional amendment. So much for their concentration on jobs and the economy.
But don´t worry, there is now such thing as legitimate rape.
