Alana, what about sleep walking or talking?. When I was younger I wandered into my parents wardrope and thought it was the bathroom. I don't think I piddled though? And my sister said a couple of times when we had to share a room, she would come into the room and I would sit up like a zombie and just stare. Another time we were staying in a hotel when I was a teenager and she said she woke up and I was standing over her holding a lamp. Creepy.
Oh, and the other week, I woke myself up clawing at stuff beside my bed because I thought Stella was buried under there. It was horrible. I won't go into the dreams I had postpartum.

Grits, I have real problems planning ahead in life so the adoption route seems so daunting to me. If I could snap my fingers I think I would adopt in a second. After this FET I might be able to get some focus in that direction.

OK Jen... I just found something to cheer you up!!! I found all the overalls... lots of options...

Heidi - I had a previous boss who adopted two girls while I was working for him. Both were private adoptions here in the US and took about 6-8 months to go through the family study and paperwork and then get paired up with a pregnant mom for the duration of her pregnancy.

Whenever I am anxious about something I have the same dream about bees attacking me and stinging me everywhere. I always wind up waking up abrutely and DH says I'm often screaming in my sleep and jumping around the bed. Can not watch nature channel before I go to sleep

[jencat215]

Rachael you are an angel!!! I just ordered 2 jumpers. I am so excited!!! I wanted to get married in a white jumper but DH said no

And boy were they cheap!!! Maybe I should do all my shopping at online maternity stores!

[JustPeachy]

Yay Jen!! I'm so glad I was able to cheer you up a little. I was thinking - they probably have some decent bra options for us larger sized gals too... And yes, the maternity stores do have some amazing sales. That store is the best for the basics. I've gotten lots of stuff there for cheap... buy all my tank tops there!

Just a quick update...I haven't had a chance to read the last two and a half pages. Doc said, go for blood work, go for ultra sound....then we find out if I need a D&C for the miscarriage I had in June! *Sigh* So I'm waiting to see...if it's hormones or left overs. Ugg. I almost had to stay home and send my DH off for a week without me but we're going to work it and see how it goes, I may fly home and have his mom come take care of me if I'm indeed in need of the D&C. It sounds heartless on DH's part, he would want to be there, but he has an ultra important job interview, it could change our lives forever! And I'm not willing to let somethign that happened in June ruin that job interview! Anyways, ultra sound tomorrow and I'm going to see if I can get some answers from teh u/s tech. Hope to catch up tomorrow. Take care everyone!

Wow-
You girls have been super busy!
I went to a movie with DH last night. We saw 'The Brave One' with Jodi Foster. It was pretty good.

I now have a lage zit on my chin. It looks like someone implanted An Almond under my skin. I am looking pretty ugly these days.

My poor little (giant) poochie had three hot spots on her yesterday, so I took her to the Vet and they shaved her beautiful fur in three places. I think she just wanted to look as ridiculous as me. They are not sure what it is but I have some topical antibiotics for her and then we will re-check in a week. Make sure it's not melanoma as this runs in her breed.

So my head feels better, but I am not really wanting to leave the house. I did skip school yesterday and I am so far behind. I just don't seem to care lately.

I am supposed to have rowing again tonight, which obviously I will notbe attending.

Heidi- How are you feeling my dear?
Brenna, are you getting excited yet about the upcoming FET?
Martie, good luck today.
Ronni- Where are ya girl?
Rachael- I have been there with the missing grocery item, and it does seem to happen at Whole Foods most of the time, although I have found odd items in my freezer

Alana- When is your appointment?
Shawna- SOunds like you finally got things moving along. I hope its just hormonal and nothing else.

Jen- you always crack me up. Are you still feeling cranky today?

Make it a foursome for the sleeping positions. I love to sprawl, although I love to kick DH because he snores all night. He actually likes to sleep with his head hanging off the bed. Weirdo. Doggies sleep under the bed.
Oh, and Riley has to wear one of those giant lampshades around her neck so she will not scratch. DH and I are arguing over who aill walk her like that.
Out Vet lives right near us, so I have to be compliant.
Well, I have no plans today, so I think I will make my famous cookies.
Oh! My BIL is coming home from Iraq next week! He has been gone for 16 months. Maybe my sister can finally relax now.
Oooh- long message. Sorry!

[jencat215]

Shawna dear, if this is left over from your m/c in June I am coming to Canada to kick some RE butt. This is crazy. I hope everything works out, but I am seriously thinking of kidnapping you to the states to get some timely medical care!

Susan-poor Susan. Poor Susan's poochy. I took kick and punch DH in his sleep cause of his snoring. He winds up sleeping with his head off the bed, but I think that is because I push him off.

Feeling nauseated this AM, but less cranky. I am sure I will get more cranky cause tonight starts the non stop wedding activities. I am going to go tonight and drink a sprite or ice tea, then leave. I am tired this AM and I have a long day at work ahead of me. I won't feel bad cause she owns me Friday and Saturday. Such crap. I'd rather be in front of my computer talking to you girls...

Oh, I just wanted to let you know that it brings me comfort, and a smile, when I get onto this thread and see 1 or 2 or much more of you girls hanging out here too. I don't know what I would do without you girls! (sorry, feeling sappy this AM- it's the drugs!!!).

[hopeful2bmom]

Jen-
When can you start POAS? Sorry, PIAC?

[hopeful2bmom]

My doggie is wearing a Brown University T-Shirt so she does not lick her wounds. She looks silly.

[goob07]

Hey girls. Took me a while to catch up on last night's activities. I was busy fighting (and I mean REALLY fighting) with DH last night. Sometimes I'm convinced I married a complete idiot. I hope the 3 embryos in me didn't inherit his "inconsiderate" gene.

I went to bed at 8:00 and didn't eat dinner because I couldn't stand to be near him and he was in the living room. I'm still mad even though he called to apologize this morning while I was driving to work. Whatever. Doesn't he know not to f*ck with me right now?! I'm just determined not to cry at work today.

Jen - seems the mood was contagious last night. Sorry you're in a funk too. It's miserable.

[sunny72]

Jen I think you passed your grumps onto me today. I'm supposed to be going to MIL's today (which always gets me cranky) but I still feel like I should still be taking it somewhat easy and since I got up I've been rushing up and down our three story trying to get things together for an overnight stay and going from her house to work tomorrow. DH offers to help but by the time I write the list and he finds everything it twould be midnight. I finally kicked a hissy fit and said I'm not rushing anywhere and got a tea and sat down to check on you guys. I feel much better already. DH said "you know you don't have to come, I can take Stella and drop your aunt at the airport tomorrow and you just stay home". Which of course I took the wrong way or perhaps the right way (because of his tone) and just about ripped him a new one (although more through facial expression as we don't like to say "bad things" with the youngen present). Poor DH. What's worse is that I'm wearing DH's pants today because I once again can't fit my own jeans and I'm feeling crampy and sore. It has to be the manipulatedd hormones that are making me feel like I'm going to snap. How do I explain hormones to DH. I hope MIL doesn't say something insensitive today about anything, she may not survive.

Wow, sorry another rantful day. Anyway, enough about myself.

Shawna, I hope you get some answers finally. When my bleeding didn't stop after the cytotec they said I had some placenta left that was getting stuck on my cervix causing the heavy bleeding. I'm sorry it took so long for you to get some attention from them - that's nuts.

Susan, you and your pooch must look like you've been in a tussle together. I hope it's nothing serious for her.

I hope everyone else has a good day. I'm really sulking because I won't be able to check in and chat with you guys.

[sunny72]

Ronni - there must be something in the water.

[hopeful2bmom]

Ronni-
I am with you on the idiot DH thing. Last night was the first time in a while that we have gotten along, and I think it was only because we are at the movies and not able to talk!
It's in the stars. The planets are F*&@ing with us!

Heidi- I think you should stay home and relax. This is a big deal for you. People whould try to be more understanding. I lock myself up on my cycles.
