Karma & Igloo - Woohoo!!! Congrats to you both on + HPTs!!! I am so happy for you both!

Marilynn - I'm so glad you had an amazing time in Greece!

Jd - Your time is just around the corner!

Teresa - Sorry about the July 4th fiasco at the mountains - so much for sleeping in on a holiday! Hope all gets well with you supression check!

Guy - Too funny!! I've never been pooped on by my son (Thank God!!) but I have been peed on more times than I care to count!

AFM - I managed to take a a much needed 3 hr. nap this afternoon! It makes me feel better to know that others had this issue when expecting so I'm assuming it is something I'm going to have to deal with until my hormones settle down a bit. Thanks ladies!

Godiva- Thank you for your support!

Igloochic- CONGRATULATIONS on the ! I can't wait to hear your first beta! KUP.

AFM:The prenatal massage was great! I felt my little ones kick. It was truly an amazing experience. I had felt them kick a few times before but during the massage I was really able to feel them. I would definitely recommend it. Also, before going to get the massage I got a pedicure (where they do a complimentary foot massage). I was later told by the massage therapist to avoid foot massages as they can cause contractions. I wish I had known that sooner however I am assuming that everything is fine. I thought I'd share that with you ladies as it was something I was previously unaware of. I will update after my appointment tomorrow!

I hope tomorrow is the start of a wonderful week for everyone!

1st part of move done

Guy your story was so funny it made me stop crying... thanks for sharing.

FAith - Thanks for asking. My next u/s I have no clue my doctor doesn't really care that I am pg... but tomorrow I will go for my second blood test to see if the ISP test is negative... I hope your apt tomorrow is full of good news and reassuring outcomes. Prenatal massage thats gonna be great. good for you girl. Glad you truly felt the babies that must have been really speacial.

Karmababy - Wow you are so funny. I am so exited for you with your BFP... Let us know when it gets even darker... congrats.

Marilynn - wow nice birthday for your GM for sure. I would love that date actually.
I hope everything will go good with your mock cycle etc on Tuesday... Wow you have a chance to see an available baby already? My God that is so quick. I wish it was the same here boy. I would have adopted too. I tried before I got married and they told me no... I hope things work the way you want it

Igloochic - My God I can't believe how many BFP we have here. I think your clinics are much better then mine... you girls rock.

Malloned - Naps are great. Good for you... rest is the best thing for us ...

AFM - Finally the first part of the move is done. The boxes I packed are at the house in one room in the basement... exiting. Now I have no clue what I am going to do with my time until the end of August?? Maybe relax a bit??

I have a tendency to cry a lot these days? Not sure if its the pregnancy or what but any music can make me fall into tears... strange cause I sleep a lot so I should not be tired... just nothing make me cry... Hopefully it gets better in a few days.

Hope the good news continue around here ... hugs to everyone.

Helene

Karma- Congrats on your BFP! WooHoo!

SRL- Your u/s is so soon! You must be so excited!

Stephanie- Hope you get the "love" at this week's beta check! And pace yourself- the chores have to get done, but you don't need to kill yourself doing them.

Marilynn- Greece sounds lovely, and what wonderful surprises you had waiting for you when you got home. Good luck Tuesday and with the adoption coordinator as well. Wow!

Faith- The massage sounds wonderful! Glad to hear you got some relaxtion and pampering in. Good to know about the foot massages, too. Thank you for sharing.

Igloo- I wasn't nervous at all, but I know the early tests had to be killing you! You are officially preggers! Congrats!

Dude- It's obvious from your post you're a veteran dog walker, poop bags and everything!

Malloned- Glad you got a nap in! Hope you'll get back to a regular sleeping schedule soon.

Linda- Hope you guys had a fun, if busy, weekend.

All- Have a great Monday! I can't believe how many people are signed up for secret sister. This might make it pretty challenging to guess who has you!

secret sister question

Below are the rules and we said first contact in July- so does that mean package or card? If we do a package in July, that means the package months would be July, September and November. If July is a card month, then packages would be August, October and December.

Quote:
Rules:
-The number of times you contact your person is up to you. Please contact them at least once a month though. Alternating packages and a note or card

-We will reveal ourselves on Dec 31st. So that's a little over 5 months

-Please post when you have received something and what you have received

-If you have not gotten anything from your partner, please PM me

-You can just put your address on the label and not your name.

-Spending limit was set at $25 a month for packages. If you would like to spend more, feel free. If you can't send out that much in one shot you can do smaller amounts. Let me know if you need ideas!!

Holy cow, I go on a self-imposed laptop-free weekend, and I come back to THREE BFP's???

Congrats Jane, Karma, and Igloo!!!

I need to spend some time catching up. I've been offline since before the holiday (trying to keep the stress level down). My donor starts stims this week!

Back later when I can focus. Just wanted to congratulate the lucky ladies.
