Search party worked!!!
Hi Ladies! Taking a break from work. GEESH…this is ridiculous!! I’m taking a break! Screw them. I miss my sisters!
Vicky—WOW, only 6 more days until your prego test? How do you feel? I remember back when we were wishing for your AF to come before the cruise. That feels like yesterday. That absolutely sucks that your boss sent you work home. WTF?? What’s the point of asking for off if she/he was going to ask you to work? You didn’t say, “can I work from home”? You asked for the day off. Some people are complete idiots and only care about themselves. ARGH! Stay away from the evil HPT! I command you!
Sassy—Hope you are having a fab time on your trip. I so wish I could go somewhere. DH and I were trying to plan a trip for Memorial day but flights are so expensive. ARGH..looks like we will be at home and saving the money towards our anniversary trip in July. Sorry about SIL, that sucks. I hate when people do that. I also hate when I’m the last to find out about crap and I have to call people and ask them about their news when they should have been the one calling me to tell me! BIL—Is a complete mess. Someone needs to write a book about his escapades. It would probably be a best seller. It could be a self help book. Call it..:”What not to do when hooked on drugs!” I loved your rant about the constellation prize. I think we all have felt that way one time or another. Back before the IVF DH would say to me, we’ll just keep traveling until you get pregnant. Now that I am pregnant we are re-evaluating travel plans. A least for right now. But who says you can’t have both. I still plan to travel once the kids get here. Granted it would be as often and to the same places but hey…Disney World can be fun for adults also. Or we can dump them on the grandparents and take a trip to Hawaii or Paris. Where there is a will there is a way. Life changes after children but it doesn’t end. Enjoy your travel and continue giving those ferts (am I allowed to call people ferts? lol) your response! I love the response to Miss K. It was classic.
Fee—Glad to hear Noggin or Noggella is doing well. I know what you mean about bad apple coworkers. I love my coworkers except for one. She is so inappropriate. She asks the worse questions and always has a comment. Mostly everyone at my job knows I’m pregnant but I refuse to tell her or anyone who works closely with her. I’ve been forced to wear big clothes because of her. I in no way what so ever want her to know that I am pregnant right now. I can’t handle 6 months of her questions. Even when I am too big to hide it, I'll still probably tell her "NO" if she asks if I'm pregnant. maybe I can just tell her I ate a big breakfast or lunch....everyday?
Jenn—Loved your drug song! Are you excited to be shooting up again? Awwwwwwww, those were the days. Feel like just yesterday I was walking around with black and blue marks on my legs. Well I noticed you were in USA. I can see how a trip to Florida wouldn’t be as enticing as an international trip. I totally agree. That would mean that you will be going to Florida twice, huh? Hmmmm, do you think DH’s family would reconsider?
Meg—How is the little girl of yours doing? I can’t believe you are already 20 weeks. Time flies. I know what you mean about not being able to hang like you use to. I guess we aren’t the Spring chickens we use to be. But ahhhhhhhhh, the memories. Whew, I don’t have any regrets. I’m so glad I got it all out of my system. I don’t want to be the pregnant woman at the party with a drink in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Speaking of cigarette’s, that patient needed a slap in the mouth. You should have knocked her so hard that she feel to the floor and everything spilt out of her purse and then stepped on her ciggies. Sorry I have been a little aggressive lately. Not sure what that’s all about. But anyway, the nerve of some people. Doesn’t that just make you sick to your stomach? Some people just take pregnancy for granted. I guess I have a harder time with things like that because it took me so long to get to where I am right now that I wouldn’t dare do anything to jeopardize me or my babies life. Then you have those damn ferts that take baby making for granted and still live their life like they're not even pregnant. BTW…I’m sure your little girl is just fine. It’s natural to be nervous. Especially when you are feeling so good. Have you felt her move yet? I can’t wait for that.
Nickster—I remember my AF after my first failed IVF. It was a biotch! I was in so much pain. Not sure if it was the embies passing out of me, the drugs or what but it was horrible. I hope you start to feel better soon. Take something or try a heating bad. Ohhh, the circus sounds fun. Last year DH and I took our niece. Actually it was DH’s first time ever at a circus (he is the baby of 10, so by the time he came around they were tired). lol We didn’t want to go by ourselves so we took his niece as a decoy. lol It was so much fun. I think we had more fun then she did. I agree on feeling sad when all my shows come to an end at the same time. I hate when they do that. I guess they feel like since it’s summer (at least for us) no on will be watching. But then I am left to watching reruns. Not as much fun.
Mel—I know I’m late but congrats on the pie contest. You are still a winner in my book. Besides, out of all those pies how did they remember yours! Now you know you should have won. lol BTW…when do we get a copy of the recipes? I love Gray’s too! I am so addicted. Can’t tell who I want more..McDreamy or McSteamy? They are both…McYummy.

I am also a HUGE desperate housewives fan. I try to relate the characters to me and my closest friends. It’s 4 of us so I try to figure out who is who. I know kind of corny but it’s fun at times. As of last week I was more like Gabby in my single days but beginning to feel more like the red head (can’t think of her name) since I’m pregnant. Although she’s getting a little feisty now. lol I laughed so hard about your fish George. It probably wasn’t funny at the time but it’s hilarious now. lol Poor George. When are your tests again? I wish you good luck and I would love to email you if I can find time. But I will try my best to email you. I have to make time for my sisters
Angie—I’m so jealous of your new soon to be kitchen. I wish I were redoing my kitchen. Heck, I wish my lazy DH would just paint the damn kitchen. That would be a start. lol
Patie—Ohhhhhhhhhh, you have to catch up on Gray’s Anatomy. They do an encore on Friday nights at 8pm. This Thursday it is a two hour special. I hope I can stay up long enough to watch it. Or I’ll just record it. It’s better that way. No darn commercials. How is the magazine going? How is it working for DH? Getting any fringe benefits…*wink*
Me—For those who want to hear. Twins are doing great. Heard heartbeats for the first time last Friday. Wonderful feeling. The heartbeats sounded like galloping horses. One was 164 and the other 175. Not sure what that means. One person told me high heart rates mean girl. Another told me the heart rates were similar so that means same sex. Who knows what means what anymore. But I am anxious to find out what they are. m/s is totally gone. I almost miss it. lol I know I complained about it so much but I felt more pregnant when my head was in the toilet. I felt more pregnant when I couldn’t put the fork up to my mouth without gagging. Now I can eat whatever I want (except eggs and Chinese food). For some reason I don’t like that anymore. lol It’s pretty sad because I use to love Chinese food. But I can eat everything else and my energy is coming back. It’s almost like I’m not even pregnant. I feel too good, that worries me. But everyone did tell me it gets better in the second trimester. Glad that was true for me. Right now going to OBGYN every two weeks and specialist every 4 weeks. I have a couple of fibroids that seem to be growing. I HATE THAT! And it worries me so much! Both doctors keep telling me it’s nothing to worry about but I’m starting to think that doctors tell you that regardless because they don’t want you to worry.
Ok, now for another topic…So when everyone hears we are having twins they give me this shocked look!

They are like WOW..really?!?!? I tell them yup, there is two in there. Then I get the happy face, followed by congratulations, that's awesome..Two in one shot! Or I get the disgusted face and then response of....damn, that's going to be a lot of work. Some people dont know what the hell to say out of there's mouths! Then the next question is, so who’s side does twins run on. I automatically say DH’s because his mom had twins (but one died at birth) and then his sister (who was a twin) had twins. But it’s not that prevalent in his family. Those are the only two sets, well really one. So then I think to myself, should I just tell them we did IVF? Some people I tell and others I don’t. The other day when I responded to someone about twins being on DH’s side of the family, they responded...Oh, I think it’s the woman’s side that decides whether or not it’s going to be twins, not the husbands. I just looked at her with ultimate disgust!

Especially since she said it in front of so many people. I then responded. Guess it really doesn’t matter anyway because we did IVF. Then of course you get the next set of questions. So now I think I’m going to continue responding that twins run on DH’s side of the family. But part of me feels like I’m deceiving people when I tell them that and I don’t tell them about IVF. But then the other part of me feels like it’s none of their freaking business! But then I think about when the babies get here. There are from two different eggs and sperm so they are not identical. All the other twins on DH’s side of the family are identical. Think anyone will notice? lol I’m hoping I have one of each.
Sorry so long but I had to make up for loss time.
