Glad everyone seemed to have a nice holiday! I did enjoy sweet tea and had many party guests wanting to try it too.... tooo bad not getting dividends from Seagrams! (I really don't drink on a 'regular' basis... just seems that way on here...lol! I figure, it's summer, I can drink now, so why not relax and enjoy!?!?! Just didn't want you all to think I needed an 'intervention'!)

Julie- The neighborhood gathering sounds fun! Next year you can make your stroller debut!

Karma- Congrats on seeing a + on the HPT! Only a few more days til your 'real' beta!

Srl- Sure you are getting excited/nervous for the first u/s! Hoping it is everything you are looking for!

Jane- I can't wait for your beta tomorrow! Make sure and post your results... we all get a little obsessive in lurking on the boards waiting for any appt. news!

Igloo- Hope you are settled back at home now! kup on your market research on HPT's! Here's to a ++++!

Pack- I'm so glad your donor is still on board with the waiting and all... that is fantastic! This is just a little speed bump in the road.... might as well handle the 'little' things that could become BIG things later!

Kate & John- I must say you cracked us all up on this end. I am sure it was a surprising poop explosion, but you both handled it with such grace and humor! I can't believe how big the kids are all getting!

Faith- I am sure your appt. tomorrow will go splendid as well! KUP! I can't wait to hear all of your friends and families reactions when you tell them you are expecting!

Lovemyreilly- Do you have a calendar or timeline yet for your next cycle? Didn't see it in your sig., so I thought I'd ask.

Malloned- I had lots of sleep disturbances when I was pregnant. Maybe it has to do with hormone fluctuations??? Whatever it is, may it not last much longer!

Have a super Sunday!

Malloned – I’m sorry about your lack of sleep. It’s so frustrating when you cannot sleep.

Karma – Congratulations on your BFP!!! Can’t wait to hear your beta.

Stephanie – Very glad to hear that your HCG is going down now.... I bet you are chomping at the bit to get started on your FET.

Rachel – Great news about your mock cycle! I am in the middle of mine. I have my bloodwork and ultrasound on Tuesdsay.

Jak – Sounds like you made a really good decision to go with the star donor. Best of luck with your new cycle. And I wanted to add what a lovely daughter you have!

SRL – Wow congratulations on your pregnancy. Can’t wait to hear about the ultrasound.

Jane – Congratulations on your BFP. So exciting!!!

Helene – one of my grandmothers was born on Christmas Eve. Such a special birthday!

Afm – I have my mock cycle u/s and b/w on Tuesday. Will hopefully have profiles to look at on Tuesday. Donor coordinator said that they have had a huge response to the ads they placed for me. I’m very excited about that. Adoption front: I was supposed to contact the adoption coordinator when I arrived in U.S. but didn’t. Now, she’s on vacation and I am waiting for her return to arrange meeting with baby. I choked. It all became too real for me and I think I got scared I would get attached as soon as I saw baby and would be devastated if it didn’t work out. I’m going to call her tomorrow though.

We had an amazing time in Greece. It was a dream vacation for us. We spent a lot of time driving around the countryside, finding new beaches to explore and sightseeing.

Karma- Congratulations on the ! Best wishes for a great first beta! Please KUP.

Jdtx- Hopefully by the next fourth of July you'll have a stroller decked out in red, white and blue! I can't wait for more updates from your cycle. Best wishes!

Godiva- Don't worry, we weren't planning on starting the intervention until next week! I am glad that you enjoyed your fourth of July celebration. I am also happy to hear that you are relaxing! I will certainly update as soon as I inform my family of the news! I am definitely a bit nervous...

Marilynn- I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed your vacation to Greece. I am also glad to hear of the many responses to your ad. You will be cycling in no time. Best wishes!

AFM: My mom and I decided to relax a bit and book spa appointments later on today. I am getting a prenatal massage, I'll let you ladies know how it goes. Also, I will update tomorrow after my appointment.

Marilynn- Good to hear you had a wonderful time in Greece! That is very exciting to get to see some potential donors on Tuesday! Good luck w/ b/w & lining ck. u/s.... KUP!

Faith- No need to be nervous about telling people... no matter how they react, you need to remind yourself that as long as you and your DH are happy, that is ALL that matters! Sounds like fun, and afternoon at the spa.... please let us know about the prenatal massage!

Pack-As you can see... I am not being overly productive on my never ending list of things to do... Promised myself to work a few hours this afternoon on things. If I can just do that everyday, everything will be tackled.... maybe I need a motivation dance to go with my AF dance.... lol

I'll update the list tomorrow...if you have any dates you want added, please let me know!

Well check again Blue Cuz I just did the test (after testing twice yesterday LOL) and it's

This is why I treat every diaper change like sitting in the front row of a twisted Gallagher concert, and show up in a rain poncho, safety goggles, and self-contained breathing apparatus. Okay, I'm exaggerating a little, but I really do use disposable gloves (yay, Costco!) for poopy diapers. I can handle the gross, but I handle it better if it's not touching my skin. Plus, reversing the glove over the poopy diaper (just hold the diaper and pull the glove off) makes for an instant diaper baggie that doesn't smear the the diaper champ. Not that any of that would help protect my leg or other exposed areas in the event of a poopsplosion.
