Happy Birthday Tia!!

Jen- You may want to fully check into the hair donation thing. I know here they won't take colored hair as I have wanted to do this for ages. I'm in the process of growing out to natural color but am wavering thinking about dying my hair pink. Anyways, I just say this so that you don't go through a hot summer with tons of hair only to find out they won't take your locks. (which I really don't understand why they won't take dyed hair, but that is what I've been told here.) Good luck!

Susan- Well, firstly we're getting a puppy (pure bred) so the puppy will actually be raised with cats from the get go. Our breeder has a few cats she raises all her pups with. Then when the pup arrives, we're taking it over to play with our neice and nephew as much as possible. I have read things to the contrary that huskies are actually really great with kids. So much conflicting info, it kinda gets crazy sometimes. Lol. Also, we're getting an off leash huskey. I didn't know there was such a thing but we met one of this breeder's dog and sure enough, off leash. She was beautiful. The owner has small children who man handle this dog and she just sits and takes it. I was so amazed at how this dog was and she has been this way always I guess.

Hi to everyone!! I hope you're all having fantastic Sundays. I'm trying to convince DH to take me shopping before his op. I need summer clothes, I don't think my previous fat clothes will fit anymore. They're way too big on me now.

Ronni/Rachael, you should set up a "clean house" business where you go and organise people. I use online billing too, but I get overwhelmed and my shoebox filing is getting out of hand. I will take your tips and see what I can do. You know how they say you living space says a lot about what's going on in your mind....well, I'm a total headcase. I used to think it was because I was the artsy/eccletic type, but I think that excuse is wearing thin and I want DD to have some better house skills. Then again you don't always take after your parents, because my mother was the kind that even ironed hankerchiefs and underpants.

Ronni, my weekend has been pretty low-key. DH always takes the car we share because he works long hours on the weekends, which would mean if I wanted to use it I'd have to drag DD out of bed at 5:30AM and keep her up until after bedtime to pick him up. Yesterday we filled the day with walks to the library and playing in the puddles, but today we're going a little cabin crazy. As Kelly said the weather is just blah here right now. I'll put a picture on FB as Tia was asking for an updated one.

Shawna, I wish I was looking for skinny clothes. I have to look for fat clothes soon. Nothing from previous years will fit at all. I've gained 15lbs over the last year and a half and it sux.

Do you think it's the IF drugs that make you gain weight or the lifestyle changes you make. I.e, not exercising so strenously "in case", eating well "in case". Perhaps a combination.

Kelly sorry about the bronchitis, that doesn't sound fun.

Heidi- I'd say it's a combination of: Drugs, stress, depression, not excercising "incase", etc. Honestly in our first and second year of trying I gained twenty plus pounds. Two summers ago I was in the same position, considering wrapping myself in a tent because none of my clothes from previous years fit me either. Hang in there Hun, soon you'll do your FET and guess what...you, my dear are going to be preggers!!

[sunny72]

Thanks everyone for the support and cheering on for the FET. I even squeezed an extra day out of you guys. I feel like I scored a freebie.

This will be my fourth transfer. Every time they try and force more water down my throat, I kindly tell them I have the full bladder thing down. I know my limits and it only takes 2 glasses for them to get a good view in there. I took the rest of the week off work to take it easy although may go in Friday. Not because my job is strenous, but I feel like I'm on my feet a lot and my commute is a marathon some days. I don't think I'll do bedrest (because that's just an invitation for DD to bounce on my innards) but will try and remain stressfree unlike other attempts. Too bad we can't smoke weed during the 2WW.

Happy Birthday Tia!!!

I have been busy all weekend at the Joy conference that my group put on. It went very well. Very healing......
We are sitting around being lazy now. I am worn out from the weekend. I hope everyone is doing ok

[hopeful2bmom]

Ughh. I am disgusting.
Can I just tell you what I just ate? AMy- It looked like your shopping list from last week on a plate all at once.

I sliced chunks of Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese, put it on Triscuts, then added hot pepper rings to the top. I shoveled that in and washed it down with a half a bag of Cheetos (umm, I have not had Cheetos since I was a kid). I am contemplating eating pancakes for dinner. I won't even tell you what I had for breakfast...
So needless to say about five minutes later the baby had the hiccups and still does. Poor thing. I felt so guilty thinking of her eating hot peppers.
Bad Mommy.

Shawna- That's great to have the kitties and the puppy grow up together! I was just worried about babies later on! They are so darned cute though!

[dndtaylor]

Susan I actually think your cheese, triscuits and peppers sounds delish right now. Yum, I want some.

Kelly I'm so sorry you are sick. I hope you feel better soon. Oh and if you already get the front waxed then you are in the clear. The back was the easiest part, not even kidding. The front for me was the killer. DH better be appreciative is all I've got to say - LOL.

[Angelwithhope]

Susan- After seeing the dog yesterday and the kids together and seeing the pics from when the kids were younger, I am sure as long as we keep an eye on them together, it should be no problems. I mean one should never leave a dog (or cat) alone with a baby anyways, right? I think your dinner menu sounds delish! I'd totally go for eating all that too! And I'm not even PG. You are not a bad mommy!

[dndtaylor]

Amy how did the car shopping go over the weekend? DH and I will be going in the next month or so. We are also looking at an SUV, thinking about the Highlander though.

[hopeful2bmom]

I am so nervous that DH will leave the dogs with the baby and not pay attention. He is so absent-minded that I don't think I will ever be able to leave!

I am going to make pancakes now.

Where are you Jen?
What exactly did Walt do to you last night

[Angelwithhope]

Mmmmm pancakes!! Yummo! Enjoy them Susan!!

Ohhh what DID Walt due to Jen....lol....

[AviatrixRN]

Heidi..My doctor thaws the totsicles the same day as the transfer..actually, they did it just a few hours prior..I have heard of other places doing it the night before. Mine were frozen as blasts, I don't know if that makes a difference or not. How exciting! You will be pupo soon!

Ronni..Wow, you really are organized! I got so sick of bills/mail laying on the kitchen counter, so I bought this little 3 level ornganizer thingie that sits on our desk. We each have a level and than there is the "to be filed" section. We have 2 big file cabinets where we file all our bill statements, warranties and junk like that.

I know what Jen did last night!

Susan..that snack sounded really good up to the peppers part. You must have an iron stomach!

Kelly..You poor thing..now it's bronchitis? Thank you prednisone!

Shawna..Have you considered adopting a pooch from the animal shelter? Or do you have your heart set on the husky?

Tia..Hope you are having a fun day!

Hi Brenna!

Where's Kris?

Jen oh Jen..come out, come out wherever you are!

[goob07]

I hope Jen didn't pull a Britany and shave her head!

Jen!! Where are you? We're worried!

[hopeful2bmom]

Ok, I just got a text from Jen-
She was at a rug auction (I think that is code for something) and she is on her way home!
