Amy - I love the pic that Jess posted of the butterflies climbing the wall. I think anything sporadic would look lovely! And, Major and Bella will be perfect at the doggie park. We take Cooper all the time and he is great with little and big dogs. Hope you have a fun afternoon.

Susan - Isn't it funny how they like the cheap swings? Aiden loved the rainforest one so much more than the $170 papasan one I have sitting here taking up way too much space!

Jen - Yummy pancakes. Tell Walt I'll trade him. You and I can decorate the nursery and he can cook us breakfast for all 3 meals of the day. And, no Aiden has never peed on the hutch. Can't spray that high He usually arcs and gets himself. Pees every night in the bath but usually gets enough of an arc to pee outside the tub.

Tia - Pasta is good anytime of day!

Jess - Aiden grows like a weed too. I keep storing his clothes labeled in boxes in the attic and dh tells me I am running out of space up there.

Took Aiden to the blow up play place. No go. First time I've ever seen him freaked out by anything. It's those inflatables for him to climb on and he was not thrilled. So, we're back home and the grocery store will be our big adventure of the day. Aiden's so happy just chasing Cooper around. Cooper figured out the sofa is safe ground and is hiding up there.

Alana!! I'm so freakin excited for you and DH. Reed is almost here. I'm praying for all of you, sweetie. Can't wait to meet Reed!

Heidi! Sorry, hon, but that is not faint in any way. You are PREGNANT!! I'm thrilled for you, sweetie, and I can't wait to hear what gems DD will come up with during your pregnancy. She is gonna have so much fun! LOL

Shelly - I'm so sorry about your car! That rots. Do you have a wet/dry vac? Those are helpful. Ugh... that blows. Thanks for sharing about your friend. You are right. This friend that hurt me has 4 kids, and while she can genuinely feel bad for me, she can in no way understand what i'm going through. But our friendship will be ok.

Jess - thanks for sharing your story, too. I'm glad you had a good weekend of relaxing a little. Your beautiful girl will be home tonight for a girls' night and your guys will be back tomorrow!

Mia - I had planned to do so much with the house over the summer, too, but only got about 1/2 done. oh well!

Rach - have fun at the open houses today. I know you watch all those shows - do you watch HGTV a lot? LOVE that channel. I hope Aiden can stay in outfit #1 for most of the day and his little tummy is ok. I've seen those pics of the nursery before, but I have to tell you it is absolutely amazing. That window is gorgeous and the desk as changing "station" is such a fantastic idea!

Kris - did you get out to church? We had our friends' baby's (Aiden) dedication today, and he fell on Friday and had a big black eye. Too funny! Well, not funny, but ironic it happened right before his big day.

Amy - the pic Jess found looks so pretty, and your idea sounds perfect! I can tell you have good tast, so Lily's room will be amazing, I'm sure.

Tia - I hate when I go to the store hungry; I come home with salty and sweet things galore. Not good!

Susan - stop the fat talk, will you? You are a bitty thing. You've lost so much weight already! I'm a big girl, so I don't wanna hear you are fat since I'm a heiffer next to you! I can hear the tinny music coming from the swing and seat now. At least we know Phoebe has good taste in music already!

Hi Jen!! Doing anything fun today?

Shawna - how are you feeling??

Laurie - I hope you can do your FET cycle soon. I'm sure it's scary. We have seen so many success stories come from FET's. Wasn't Mia an FET baby? and Mya too, I think, right? My friend thawed two but only one made it to transfer and that embie is now a beautiful 5 year old!

Josee - still fixing up the house? Yes, we do need some pics!

April - hope you are safe. The weather is beautiful here today so NY should be fine.

Kelly - how are you holding up, hon? Any pee sticks today?

I wanted to thank you all for including me in your wonderful group. You have already supported me soooo much, and it means more to me than you could ever know. Sorry I'm making your group a little bigger - I know how confusing it is when someone new crashes the party.

Liza - Thanks for the nursery compliments! I was on bed rest for lots of my pregnancy so I had lots of time to spend on decorating and it kept my mind busy. Aiden is still on outfit #1 so we are making some progress! We love having you here and it's only silly me that is teribble with names but give me another few days and I'll have everything down pat!

Tia - I keep forgetting to ask... have you picked a few favorites from the Serena and Lily yet??

Heidi- there is nothing faint about that line. Be positive cause girl, that test is beyond positive! This is it. Believe!! Believe!! Believe!! Congratulations to you, DH and big sister Stella!! Did you know I've read that day five blasts cut down on the chances of miscarriage and that they up the chances of TWINS!?!?

Jess- Very cute room! I love the lettering over the closet door!! Soooo cute!!!

Hi to everyone this fine sunday afternoon. It is raining.....again! Nice! just freakin nice! oh and my DBIL is at it again, not a week after everythign else is patched up but he is harassing us again! *Sigh* lol.

Well they aren't getting it today unless it's on our terms! So ha! LOL

rachael, glad to hear aiden is feeling a tiny bit better. I hope it keeps getting cleaner and cleaner. your nursery rocks. I will be inspiring mine from yours when I have my son. Yeah, i believe he'll be a boy. have fun at the open houses. We have a showing at 4 today. I walked the property and peeked in windows yesterday and LOVED it! Came on the mkt this week. Brand new!

Shelley, that so SUCKS!!!

Susan, congrats on the 27 lbs. Great job!

Laurie, good luck with the results of the testing. Let us know ok. I hope ALL your embies thaw when they need to.

Go Alana, it's Reed's birthday!!! Go Alana! Thanks for the update Susan.

Yes, Tia... you are so quiet about your selections and what happened to all that stuff from your sis. Did you get it yet?

Home improvements continue for us. I'll post some pics later. I posted some on here last weekend. DH is out sweating his butt off. Poor thing. He is miserable and he hates me right now. Long story. I hope to make it up to him.

Good Morning Ladies. Just popping in really quick to see how things are going and it looks like we have a lot of great moments happening. Can someone please text me with the great news when it happens? I'd hate to miss something when I'm only looking at the last 3 or so pages. Thanks! My mom and I are off to get a mani really quick. DH is watching football and Mya at the same time. Needless to say I'm a bit nervous but sure it will be fine - lol.

Heidi your positive is far from faint lady. That is amazing, can't wait to hear your beta. I'll keep you guys in my prayers that this one is snuggled in for the long haul. Big Hugs, my smile is huge for you!

Josee thanks so much for the amazing card. You truly have a wonderful heart. Thanks for being a great friend. I hope all is well on your end?

JenE your card also was a nice surprise. Thanks for the kind words, It means a lot. I love the song it plays!

Alana my heart is with you right now. I'm sure you are doing great. I can't wait to hear all about Reed's entrance, it's going to be amazing. Soon you'll have your prince and trust me; your life will never be the same.

April I'm still thinking of you gals. Can't wait for the u/s, it's going to be amazing. Give Mel hugs, hope she is feeling well.

Rach I'll be your way in about a month and a half. I can't wait to move and be settled in already. We will for sure have to meet up in the up and coming months. Can't wait!

Sorry to cut this short; but I'm off to get a mani and enjoy a 2 hour or so break from the house (and the pump). Love you all. Sorry to the many I didn't personal, I'm thinking of you. Hugs all around. Please Please, someone text me when Heidi takes a digital and see's the word "pregnant" and when Reed has arrived. Thanks again!

kelly, don't apologize for being negative nancy! you aren't being negative at all, you are in that very hard place of balancing hope and reality and avoiding getting crushed. it's okay to analyze things, that is normal. i guess yes, there are probably a couple of cases of women who got some darker lines before they vanished, but many do not. and your lines are getting a lot darker hun. my lines took forever to get darker. i am just saying that for right now, things are looking great and we are going to believe the best and cheer for you like crazy.

kelly - those lines are dark! you are definitely pregnant and it's only getting darker. that does not happen with a chemical! you aren't being negative, just guarding your heart. you'll guard it for a long time. but don't let that stop you from feeling a little excited also, because it really looks good! make sure they put stat on your b/w tomorrow. i know you are being absolutley tortured right now. imo, it looks really, really promising, sweetie!

Glad you liked the card, Devan. I am so happy for you!

Kelly, I am not sure what this week holds for you either. But I am glad that all the peesticks point more in a positive direction than a negative one. I hope that the pee sticks are truly mapping your beta increase to being a mom.

Hi Happy Amy! Are you feeling better?

Hi Marissa ! Hi Liza!

Hello to all the beautiful girls on this thread.

No more alana updates?

Kelly those lines tell me that your beta is definitely going up and that is what we want. So lets try to focus on this mini milestone that those lines are getting darker!!!! We will get thru this with you. We are all here for you and praying for the best. Are you thinking of trying a digital? That last first response was pretty dark and if you register on a digital I think we could conclude that your beta is over fifty .

Smile first forum, first IUI, first miscarriage help!!

hi everyone -
this is my first post to a forum and I really don't even know what I am doing. I have been TTC for about a year. My DH has low sperm volume so we did clomid and an IUI which took the first time which was exciting but we had a miscarriage about a month ago. I had a D and C and I am waiting for AF I am a mess- I have never been a depressed angry person before at all and I don't know what is normal?? all of my friends have kids and I find myself being jealous and not wanting to hang out with them- will this end?? I feel like I am acting crazy and irrational?? any ideas or thoughts are appreciated-
