Hey everybody popping in to say hello. Thanks for all the well wishes and cake compliments. I need to figure out to post in the forum so I can post the cakes, I think you would like them. I made another one last night for my Tech Writer and she love LOFT and shopping so her cake was loft themed, fun to make.

I will send personalized responses later but it has been great having my husband home **big smiles** I got lots of BD'ing in before O on Saturday & so now it's just waiting and hoping the witch takes a long walk off a short peer.

Hope all is well with everyone & I will check back in later

Before I dash off, Thank you ladies for getting me through this last 10months w/out my DH. I can't explain how much you ladies lifted me up and helped me through. It was like 1/2 of me was missing...and I realized that he is literally is my other 1/2 and I thanking God for his safe return!

holy moly laides i feel like i have been away for a century! Busy busy weekend and now super busy week. I feel like i can't catch up! We have our two fertility appointments this week with our new clinics. We are looking at two new ones and will pick the one we like the best. I am so excited. I think IVF will be our way and i am looking forward to that. NEVER thought I would say that :) DH and I have paid off all of our cc debt and now we just have our regular house and car debt. Our cc debt was not much at all, but still i hated having that linger. I feel like we are one step closer to IVF since we are going to be saving up for it.

I am looking forward to the new year and am excited for a new start. I remember feeling the same way last year. It's refreshing. Last year we had a plan for 2014, and even though it did not result in a baby or pregnancy, it did result in progress. I am excited to hopefully have that final step completed in 2015!

I hope everyone is doing well. I am sorry i dont have enough time to go through and connect with everyone, so this is an overall hello and i hope you are doing well!!!

@miracle - Have you been getting any of the rain I've been hearing about on the news? Hope so! And I hope there are no mud slides either. I am sorry your T.giving plans fell through, I hope you had a great time with your dad. Fingers crossed that the BDing you got in was sufficient!

@athena - The little outfit Oliver is wearing in the photo shoot we did is size NB. NB pants fit him better, I think he has a long torso and short legs. lol I liked the family pics you posted! What is Eli doing? I feel like Oliver is a little behind because he hated tummy time so much, he is starting to like it, so I'm hoping he'll be rolling over etc. soon. He was holding his rattle yesterday! :)

@Bean - I am feeling pretty good. :) My hair seems to be growing much faster since Oliver was born. Can't wait to be able to put it in a pony tail. I hope your head aches and nausea ease up soon, but it's all for a great cause.

@rebecca - No worries! Haha. :) All babies grow at their own pace. I didn't think you were trying to have a pissing contest. This week he seems to be back to his old self again, but later in December is supposed to be a rough patch according to the "Wonder Weeks." So... we shall see.

@football - How did your appointment go? I hope the shot wasn't too unpleasant.

@FireWife - Glad things have settled down and you were able to have a good T.giving! I will guess Girl too.

@pisces - So glad you are enjoying having your DH back and that you got in lots of BDing during O time!!

@LSchrader - I'm very excited for you too! Can't wait to see what 2015 holds for you guys.

AFM - AF has not come back yet, today I have had a TON of watery CM, so I don't know if that signifies anything. My mom was one who did not get her period while she breast fed, so I'm hoping I'm the same.

@skyline- the appointment went well. I haven't gained any weight since my 24 week appointment- I was shocked because I'm feeling big these days. My doctor is really happy with my blood pressure, too. Unfortunately, the nurse gave me the wrong information about the shot. I have to get it at the hospital...I'm getting it next week (it's a three+ hour process!). I also am getting another ultrasound the same day because the doctor wants to make sure baby's growing enough (which I know he is). Your mom didn't have AF while BF? How lucky! Fingers crossed you don't, either!! That's been a definite plus of being pregnant ;) OH! And that picture with Oliver and your kitty was soooo cute. I could definitely see that happening in our house.

Hey I need help setting my O date...I'm out of practice.
Can someone take a look at my calendar & the following info:

First Day of last period: 11/16/2014
Expected O date: 11/29/14
DH got home 11/23/14

BD Dates: 23, 24, 26, 27, & 29

Temp Dip: 11/27/14 & Spike 11/28/14 ???

or 11/29/14 ???

So 11/27 or 11/29?

@pisces - 3 days if high temps after the dip should confirm O was on the 27th when you had the temp dip, right?

@sky Thanks for answering. yes I had a dip on the 26th and 3 days of high temps for sure but I continued to have O cramping on saturday so I BD'd again anyway...lol I am just trying to set an O date and decide if I am 6DPO or 4 DPO. can you see my BBT on here?

?????????????????????????????????????????????????????

@pisces - I only see the BBT chart from March 2013. It sounds like you are probably 6DPO, but would help if I could see your chart.

Are you tracking with FF?

@sky I had completely forgotten about FF, ok I signed up and entered all my data and FF has my O date set for Nov 27th and is putting me in at 7DPO so worse case 5DPO. I had a lot of O pain on the 29th but the temps were clearly pointing to the 27th. I completely forgot how to find the link to my chart on FF, if someone knows, then I'll post my chart.

@sky the pic of Oliver with the cat lurking in the background made me laugh so hard. #cute

How is everyone else?

@mircle how many days DPO?

@bean if I can ever figure out how to post pics in here, then I'll post the cakes

@athena hey there! Saw the baby pic of your DH up against Eli and they are twins

@football when do your shots start. I can not believe the weight gain...that's awesome. Just keep using pure cocoa butter on your tummy so you can get back in that bikini soon

@lsch I am so jealous of the cc debt free, I working on that. I am glad you guys are shopping around for clinics and not just making a quick decision on one like I did. They rushed me into IVF and I wish I knew then all the things I know now. It was all about the $$ for them.

AFM: thanks to sky I got my dates worked out
