I miss you all! Randoms, updates?

Hi I miss all of you! How is everyone's summer going?

E1 is doing a bunch of sports camps and we just started practice for his "fall" baseball league.

E2 is doing well, growing and generally being a little toot. Talking more now but we can't understand him most of the time.

DH is working hard as usual.

I'm almost done with school, just a few more weeks to go! I have applied to the new NP position with my RE, waiting on a call for an interview. FX and prayers appreciated! In related news, we got the bill for the storage fee for our embryos, and DH and I made the decision to let them go, have them destroyed. I'm sad, that means that the door to future children is forever closed but I've been trying to come to terms with it for several months now. I will be okay though. My heart just has to accept what my head already knows.

pooh8402 GL! And I'm sorry about the difficult decision. *hugs*

I'm so happy life is feeling a tiny bit more normal lately. E just finished t-ball and soccer camps, and starts swimming lessons next week. He also currently goes to the gymnastics place for day camp a few days a week. A is still in her daycare/preschool. Still won't poop on the potty. Lol.

I've been going to the gym more lately which has been nice! We're also working on some house projects. H and BIL are working on part of the roof over the porch (aka playroom) and once that's finished, they'll start on the windows and door. I'll be happy when this is done and H can stop running to Menards 😂

I've been feeling lonely lately but last week, I got together with coworkers from my old team and went to an event with another good friend. This weekend my current team at work is getting together. It's helping a ton! I missed seeing people in person. I know there's still a risk, especially with the kids, but my mental health hasn't been great so I'm fine with the risk. So far so good, lol.

Hey!

pooh8402 - I'm sorry for the difficult decision, but YAY for almost being done with school!! Good luck with your interview! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

estrellita - I'm glad to hear that life is starting to feel more normal again! The past year and a half has been so isolating, and I think it's great that you're finding opportunities to take care of yourself and your mental health.

Hey all!

Life is moving right along here. L is 2.5 now and sassy as can be. Work has been kind of overwhelming lately, which sucks. I'm getting ready to jump into some pretty big projects during the second half of the year, and I'm so ready to move out of the planning stages and into the actually getting work done stages so I can start making some real progress instead of just talking about what the best ways to make progress might be.

@@@
I'll be 15w tomorrow, and we found out yesterday that we're having another little girl. <3
I was so sure that this one was going to be a boy, and I'm still feeling a little bit shocked that I was wrong. Haha. We're still working on the name, but we've narrowed it down to a couple of finalists.

katespade Aw, yay for sisters! How exciting!
