*ROLL CALL*

Okay...I need help staying awake. DD is sick again and so she is laying on the couch next to me. She woke up at 6 am after not really sleeping last night.

So who is here? What are you up to on this fine Sunday? Any funny stories from work or family from last week?

I'm sure lots of you have already seen this, but my friend forwarded it to me the other day. It is some good reading if you need a laugh. I tried to make it clicky, we'll see if it worked.

ETA: Sorry about your DD! I got caught up in the fun stuff and completely forgot about why you are trying to stay awake. Good luck :)

Sorry about your DD.

Low key day for me:laundry, getting caught up on the DVR (anyone watching the Carrie Diaries?  I haven't started it yet but loved SATC), making pot roast for tonight, going to finally get some wedding pictures printed today (only 9 months late! Smile )...

No funny story but yesterday DH and I went to visit some friends who just brought home their newborn. I now have a serious case of baby fever. I blogged about it yesterday if you're bored [click the chicken].

I watched the carrie diaries the other day, I think it is a cute show. For some reason it reminds me of the type of shows that were on when I was younger and makes me all wistful for being 15 again.

Sorry to hear about your DD.  Hope she feels better soon.  We have this thing called 'Gasparilla' here in the Tampa Bay area in FL that took place yesterday. It is a pirate-ship invasion reenactment (part of an old Tampa legend) and land parade bead-throwing party.  Kind of like Mardi-Gras, but ppl dressed as pirates.  My DH went, but I bailed on it because I am lame.  I have been 8 times in the last ten years, though. Pretty fun. News coverage: http://www.abcactionnews.com/dpp/news/region_hillsborough/pirates-take-over-tampa-during-gasparilla-2013

We are all sick, so we are hanging out. We are out of sugar and milk, so one of us will have to venture out here eventually.

I know what that's like. DH had to walk to Walgreens (it's not that far) on Friday to get milk. We were snowed in but completely out of milk. Poor DH...lol.

Wow...so sorry that all of you are dealing with sickness! We must be really lucky that DH and I haven't gotten anything bad yet this year.  I doubt that we get exposed to as much though since we don't have children and I am currently unemployed. We don't have too much going on today, but I think I will brave the cold and go ride my horse today. It's supposed to be 22 today so it's a heat wave. Hope you all get feeling better soon!

As for me, I'm sort of here. Just woke up, and have a busy day ahead of me. We're filming a promo for the Zombie5k we're holding in March. I get to dress up like a zombie and have my head blown off via special effects. Joy.

Thanks! It's going well. Her bilirubin levels seem to be dropping with our home therapy, and she's a hungry little thing. I couldn't tell you the last time I slept longer than 30 minutes. So so worth it though, I still tear up just thinking about how she's finally here!

Sorry to hear your dd is sick. Hope she feels better soon!

Nothing exciting going on here today. Probably laundry and whatnot if I can get myself motivated this morning.

And apparently my dh thinks that all we do on here is talk about our SOs and jokingly told me if I talk about him he will sue me for slander. Lol He is such a tool!

I'm sorry you have a sick kid in the house.  Hopefully she'll feel better very soon. 

I *think* we are finally getting healthy here. 2 weeks ago DH and both girls had bronchitis and sinus infections, they all got over that, than DD # 1 wakes up last Sunday with Pink eye. Then on Monday wakes up with double Pink eye. Later Monday evening she started complaining of an ear ache. I took her to a kids express care since it was after doctor hours and she had an early ear infection. She's been on antibiotic's for all of that since last Monday night. She's feeling great now, but I'm giving her the full round of antibiotic's. 

Right now I'm laying in bed and the girls are in DD # 1's room playing. DH is working his 24 hour shift today. Later we are going to meet my cousins brand new baby.

T had problems with bilirubin too. Do you have the light and mat at home for her? The sleeping thing does get better. But you are right, it is totally worth it.

Yep we have the bilitx mat for her. She's been on it pretty much nonstop since Tuesday evening. Hoping after our appointment Monday that her levels will be low enough to end the mat soon. I don't mind it horribly, but I'd love to snuggle her longer than a few minutes without it and dress her in clothes!

I am actually at work this fine Sunday morning.  We have a deadline coming up so every day is a work day for me. 

On the bright side, If I were at home I would be helping DH clean the house for our Super Bowl party next week (He is doing some deep cleaning that we have been putting off for awhile).  Honestly I think I would rather be at work than cleaning the house, I am so not domestic.





TTC #1 since August 2011
September 2012: Start IF testing
DH: SA is good
Me: CD 3 blood work is good, HSG all clear, 7 DPO blood work shows low progesterone
October 2012: Clomid + IUI = BFN
December 2012: Consultation with RE#1. Not impressed with RE#1.
January 2013: Consultation with RE#2
January 2013: CF screening shows that I am a carrier of CF. Thankfully, DH's screening shows that he is not a carrier of CF. Sperm antibody tests are negative for both of us. According to our RE we are Unexplained IF
March 2013: Post coital tests show possible hostile CM. So, maybe not so unexplained?
April 2013: Unmedicated IUI after yet another bad bad PCT. = BFN
Cultures find a bacterial infection that could harm fertility, DH and I both start antibiotics.
May 2013: Clomid + Trigger + IUI

Gah, men are so melodramatic.

I am here today too. Rough weekend for us (my chart explains why). I'm contemplating doing some yoga soon. I can't really leave the house for a class, but I feel like I need to do something good for my body today. So it might be an on demand video for me! DH is working on our kitchen remodel. Our kitchen has been absolutely torn apart for 6+ weeks with no end in sight because he's doing the whole thing himself in his so-called spare time. I'm so over it.

Ugh I'm hoping the sickness DH has is just allergies and not the plague everyone seems to be getting. I was up at 5:30 to feed the dogs and finally fell back asleep when DH got up. He's helping a friend move while I try to get more unpacking done.
