Alrighty, a couple of comments (to AMKD, forgot to quote):
1: you have no nerve endings left in your boobs from the first go round when you pushed/mashed on them so much to make sure they still hurt so I don't think this is a good indicator but if in doubt, you can always do what I did and jump up and down w/ no bra but then you will be horrified that you shook "it" loose and regret it until the next beta and/or u/s.
2: your lab sucks. C had her 12 month today and I went in, needless to say, with a typed list at least four pages long of questions and issues and decided to stop at page two b/c I was just sure there was news and now I'm home and NOTHING? I could have gotten through all the pages of nonesense and made them regret taking us as patients even more?

And also (Robin I think will get this) I'm not sure if you'll do so well in SC anymore; we don't food shop, we grocery shop. My friend from Maine says that and it cracks me up to no end, particularly when she gets "pop" while she's there. That's wrong simply b/c it isn't even food to begin with but w/o splitting those hairs, it is all Coke.

How am I supposed to critique every little sign and symptom if my boobs won't cooperate?!?!?!

Your boobs will hurt less with each pregnancy (mine did)..I think I read that somewhere. Don't read too much into it.

Good grief, please accept my humblest apologies. The cat scratched P on the hand, so when I was done screaming at her, I had to take P in the car for a little ride as he was on the verge of a meltdown. Hell, who am I kidding, he was in full meltdown mode. Then he fell asleep in the car and I couldn't get to the computer. **** cat. It's a pretty good scratch also.

ANYHOW - 6 eggs retrieved, 5 mature, 4 fertilized. It is, quite honestly, exactly what I expected. After ER, the doc told BP that they had gotten 4, maybe 5. The nurse then got a call that they got 6. Me being the big analyzer that I am, figured that 4 would be good and the last 2 probably wouldn't be mature since he wasn't even sure he had gotten them. So we are thrilled with 4 fertilized eggs making their way to embryo status - c'mon 8 cell by Thursday!!

Good grief - now P fell and is crying - this boy is having a ROUGH day.

xoxo

poor Paul take care of him tonight... Alex only slept for 30 minutes at the daycare today... i see a lot of sleep in his future...

Yay on report, was getting worried...but don't get too mad at the cat, she is your baby just as much as LP, don't forget that. No comments on the boob reply?

Also, C came in at 16.8 which for those who might just be catching up, is HUGE at 54 weeks. Dr. M and Elaine the nurse and C and me, we were doin' some Lionel and Dancin' in the Streets...well the hallway and more of a shuffle but still.
Can't it be Thursday yet?

AND I TOTALLY FORGOT: JT and Jessica, eating supper Friday pm MAYBE a block from me and Jake and Reese, MAYBE a block the other way. If DH were home and I didn't have a baby to feed, I SO would've been on it and stalking them. JT and Jess chose poorly in my opinion but then Katherine Fleenor (I think is her name...GF in 40 year old virgin) was having her legs waxed while I was getting my hair cut yesterday. All very exciting even though I only saw her feet really.

Glad to hear such a good report and sorry about poor LP...we have had "those" days too :-)

Here's what that mean old cat did to my little LoverBaby . . .




Although, he may have had it coming, lol. He LOVES the cat - and sometimes he loves her a little too much. Like when he lies on her . . .



Or grabs fistfuls of her hair . . . .



Or grabs her tail for a little game of tug of war . . .
.

She has never tried to scratch him before, she usually just meows until someone saves her (after taking pictures, of course).

xoxo

1. I think it is because my boobs are all fat now and the nerve endings are squashed between layers of fat, thereby unable to function properly.

2. Did C get any shots today? 4 pages of questions - good grief!! What on earth . . . . . .

3. You know, when I wrote "food shopping", I contemplated writing "grocery shopping", but thought it sounded old fashioned, lol. But "pop"?? Uh-uh, no way, never - it's soda - and definitely not Coke - it's Pepsi, baby - all the way. Wild Cherry Diet Pepsi, as a matter of fact.

Hooray for C!! Gaining like a champ!!

OMG - I so would have brought my baby to Jake and Reese. "You have a baby . . . . in a bar". I might have gone to see JT, but minus the Jess. And what is KF doing there? same movie? Don't they have someone on set who could do that for her?

Here's to hoping he is nothing like Paul when it comes to sleep. If Paul only takes one short nap like that, he is soooooo overtired that it is near impossible to get him down at night. Fingers crossed for Alex and a restful night ahead.

AM Those pics of LP with the cat are funny! Can you use scar cream on his boo-boo?
