Week of 12/11

[bk1]

Hiya!


What's up?



Normal week for a lot of it. We're going to MIL's house to help her decorate her tree and have lunch tomorrow. I'm thinking of getting ahold of SIL and planning time for her to bring my nieces over and do a day of Christmas baking. 


I got in my new laptop!! So much better then my 9 year old one.. go figure.

[estrellita]

Wed we are getting pictures done
Fri is A's 2 week checkup
Sun we are probably bringing E to our friend's son's birthday party

Anyone have recommendations for shows to binge watch? I'm getting sick of the same HGTV and Food Network shows, lol. We have Netflix and Hulu plus. Shows I currently watch are Grey's, This is Us, Scandal and Gotham. Shows I've watched and loved in the past are Greek, Gossip Girl, Once Upon a Time (we stopped watching it this season), and Eureka among others!

I've been watching Brooklyn nine nine on Hulu and loving it estrellita

I've got a bunch of errands to run this afternoon. Nothing very exciting, but it'll get me out of the house.

Wednesday, H and I are going to see my favorite band in concert. This will be my third time seeing them live, and I'm super excited.

Friday, we're thinking about going to see an early matinee of the new Star Wars movie. Seems like the best way to beat the opening weekend crowds.

Saturday, I'm getting my bangs trimmed.

H works Saturday and Sunday, so it'll probably be a quiet weekend. I have a couple of new books on my Kindle that I might start reading. Other than that, no big plans.

I'm just watching tv and doing housework today that's been neglected thanks to work, final projects for school, and appointments. I did finish my last school project last night, so yay. I'm done with this semester!

I'm working Wed, Thurs, Fri, and on call Sat, so today and tomorrow are my downtime days.

[MrsMB]

Typical work week here.....THEN Sunday is DD's birthday party!!! I got all the supplies months back ordered. I've been working on a few crafts for the party. We'll pick up balloons, cake, cookies and such on Saturday. I need to order the food though.

[ewall]

I'm heading into the office tomorrow for financial statement training, then our Christmas party. I'm hoping I can catch an earlier flight back on Friday.

We are planning to go see Christmas lights this weekend.

[wineandcheese]

I have a migraine so I’m taking it easy the rest of the day. I sat 2 1/2 hours this morning to get a plug in my tire with a nail in it. I was so annoyed.

This week is normal for the most part.

Friday H and I are heading out to Kentucky to deliver equipment to a startup fire company. We will be there all weekend.

[amaranth]

Getting a Migraine here too I stuck dinner in the instant pot already in case I am too incapacitated to do it later.

MrsMB what is the party theme?

estrellita If you like gritty shows, I recently watched "The Five" on Netflix and enjoyed it. It's a BBC crime mini-series. About 10-15 episodes total. It's an oldie, but I loved Veronica Mars back in the day. Watched that on maternity leave with M. Other lighthearted comedies would be scrubs, psych, and mindy project.

[wineandcheese]

amaranth I hope your migraine clears up! I gave in and took a stronger pain medication and Zofran my doctor gave me “for the really bad” migraines since it was getting there. I can at least function now.

[MrsMB]

amaranth hope the migraine clears up soon ((

She is having a Peppa Pig Birthday party she loves Peppa she is going to be so excited!

((Hugs)) wineandcheese amaranth. Hope you ladies are back to feeling normal soon!

Nothing really planned this week. Just trying to get healthy. I had planned to take the boys to disneyland one last time before our blockout and go to my bunco Christmas party but I am bailing on everything. Still coughing a ton, nose is a mess, and feeling tired after doing normal things.

I did manage to take the boys to Panera bread for a bagel and stop by the grocery store on the way home. My dad was going to stop by during the end of the boys nap with a coffee for me but I ended up texting him and telling him that I needed to nap while I had the chance.

Yesterday I took the girls to an hour of music classes then out again in the afternoon to get some shopping done for the Santa for Seniors thing I'm doing. Usually both of the girls are well behaved but G was exhausted from the day and acting out - screaming, yelling, crying, etc. I got her calmed down, gave her my phone to watch cartoons, and tried to finish my shopping quickly before the next meltdown. While I was in line I had a lady about my mom's age come up to me and tell me how well behaved my girls are and how you couldn't even tell there were children in the store because they were both so quiet. I had two more ladies gushing over the girls after that. And G was just as sweet as can be talking to the women. She was talking about Christmas coming and Santa. It was really nice especially since we had just had a meltdown a couple minutes earlier. 

It was really sweet, funny because of the situation, and such a real example of having kids. Made me really feel good. <3 And G, just to keep things real, had another meltdown as were we pulling out of the parking lot. She wanted to do more shopping now. She was asleep by the time we got home. Lol. 



Plus - couponing score - I got 4 towels and 4 washclothes for free with my coupon! Woot more donations. 

[bk1]

wineandcheese amaranth I hope you are both feeling better today! I've only had a couple migraines and they are AWFUL.  

luv2rn4fun Hugs friend! I hope you get to feeling better asap.

[wineandcheese]

luv2rn4fun I hope you start feeling better soon!

bk1 I need to start couponing again. Your starting to motivate me to bring out the coupon binder and start clipping.

My migraine is about 50% better this morning. I barely slept last night though so that didn’t help it. Then AF decided to show up a few days early this morning.

H is working today and may have to get a hotel room near the job site so I get to starfish tonight in bed if that happens.

H booked us a room at a beautiful b&b this weekend. I can’t believe it was cheaper then the comfort inn nearby. I also can’t believe we turned into a couple that stay at b&bs lol. Honestly they give me anxiety but H loves it so I try to be social and polite as much as I can.

Nothing special going on this week, trying to finish Christmas shopping and getting some packages in the mail.

[pooh8402]

3 embryos left, the 3 biggest. Hopefully they'll be good enough to freeze tomorrow.

[rockinrobyn]

Wednesday already?!? I have a ton of work stuff to do this week. Then I have to pack at some point because my family Christmas is this weekend. Other than that just trying to finish shopping.

[rockinrobyn]

Fingers crossed for good results pooh8402!

[MrsMB]

pooh8402 When today will you know more?

Good luck getting everything done!!

This week is flying and I have some stuff that needs to get done this week (figure out C’s cake, buy presents for DH and my parents, wrap all presents) because next week is chaos with C’s bday on Thursday and DH being off Thursday through the 26th.

[luv2rn4fun]

It only took 14.5 months but L did that thing you don’t talk about! I actually got 6.5 hours of solid sleep (no baby crying and no coughing for me) before waking up wondering when he was going to wake up. He was up at 4:15 for a second but went back to sleep.

Also, today was my due date for C three years ago! Can’t believe he’s already going to be 3 next week...where did my baby go!?!

He called me at 8.

All 3 embryos are still progressing, but not enough. He's giving them one more day to grow. One looks average quality, he says the others look quite poor.

I've been trying to sleep all day for work tonight, but I've been so anxious. What if these don't survive one more day? What if they don't survive thawing? This is our last chance. No more IVF.

[ewall]

Praying for you and good results, pooh8402. Big hugs during this stressful and uncertain time.

[MrsMB]

pooh8402 Just said a prayer right now...praying that you see some good results!!! So many hugs right now as you wait....

[katespade]

pooh8402 - I'm praying for good news for you tomorrow!!!

[bk1]

Sending thoughts and prayers your way pooh8402




Sick kid stuff ahead -

It's been a weird day. G got sick last night. Shout out to my H because he handles it so much better then me. He cleaned up G then I cuddled her while he cleaned up her room. All I had to do was get a clean sheet on her bed and find new blankets for her. I thought it was a fluke so I took the girls to my mom's like planned this morning so I could drop them off and do some Christmas shopping. This is the first time my mom has watched them since this summer. We get to her house and G throws up in the car and yard. Bless my mother she still kept the girls. G got sick one more time while I was gone. I was able to get a Walmart trip done and get my ss package mailed. We are back home now and I'm doing more laundry and keeping my FX this stays contained to just G and hoping she is on the mend. She has kept a few crackers down, so progress!

[luv2rn4fun]

So so many ((Hugs)) and prayers pooh8402. I really hope your get one very healthy embryo and baby out of this IVF. I can’t imagine how anxious you are right now and it sucks that you even have to worry about this and that this is your only option for a second baby.

bk1- glad you were able to get some shopping done. Praying G is on the mend and no one else gets sick.

I went through all the toys and have 4 boxes to take to Goodwill. We are going after the boys wake up and will go get frozen yogurt too. I also brought out toys I had stored and the boys are playing so nicely with their “new toys”.

I also called the preschool C will go to and have a tour tomorrow. I am thinking of starting him in Feb/March 2x/week!
