Re: TenThingsTuesday
1. I might be pregnant.
2. AF due tomorrow.
3. Major dip in temp yesterday, followed by equally major rise this AM... According to FF chart gallery, this is a classic implantation dip.
4. 2 negative tests. The chart gallery showed lots of dips/rises like mine, followed by a positive test 2-3 days later.
5. This could be it.
6. Finally finished the 2nd bedroom! (Though I still have a couple little things on the to-do list).
7. I've been making fruit smoothies with milk and yogurt. Yum.
8. I feel very cute in my outfit today.
9. I am wearing jeans that fit, are comfortable, and don't require a belt - HALLELUJAH
10. I may be a bit distracted today...

1. TCOYF didn't show ovulation this month. I'm sort of concerned about my healthy follicle from last week but I think its probably more due to the ambiant air temp since I don't always sleep with the bedroom AC on.
2. I am tired.
3. I really need to go to bed before midnight.
4. I ran two miles last night and my foot isn't swollen.
5. But I had a brownie for a you-came-to-work treat this AM.
6. I am sooo tired of my job.
7. I am looking forward to classes starting.
8. Except I will have no time, again.
9. I'm going to try to clean up and share the new kitchen tomorrow.
10. I hope we can at least half finish the den this weekend.
1. I wish I could wear jeans everyday.
2. Or scrubs...thats what A wears and I"m so jealous every morning when she leaves the house in pjs!
3. In an effort to mention cupcakes every single TTT, I'd like to let you all know that the cupcake truck is coming to work today. Its just like an icecream truck, but with cupcakes!
4. They are offering red velvet, peanutbutter, vanilla bean, sweet potato, and chocolate. how will i ever decide?
5. I had a four day headache starting on friday and i think (fingerscrossed!) that its gone today. otherwise A's gonna make me go to the doctor
6. I wish we were going to see Julie & Julia tonight but we have an end-of-season softball picnic.
7. Time Traveler's Wife (last week's movie) was dissapointing
8. I need a really good gift for my grandmother's 75th - any ideas?
9. Vera Bradley super tote is on mega sale today and i'm thinking about picking up a few to have on hand as gifts.
10. I really, really, really want to finish our basement before winter. our fireplace is down there and it would be sooo nice to cuddle up by. too bad all of our money is going towards medical bills. booo.

2. I had acupuncture yesterday and started some new herbs.
3. I also had a headache yesterday evening, not sure if it was related or coincidence. I guess taking them today will tell.
4. The headache was during the time I taught child birth ed.
5. I tried green tea, lots of water, a late night snack and eventually took ibuprofen before bed.
6. I received my meditation for fertility cd this week and l look forward to listening to it daily.

10. We're trying to plan a beach getaway, but my last birth client still needs to deliver.
1. It took me 2.5 hours to get to work this morning. The highway I take was closed down, but that didn't stop them detouring cars from getting on the highway (ie. me) and then all the alternate routes were clogged. UGH.
2. I am STARVING. The cafeteria opens in 30 minutes and I am counting down the minutes.
3. L got stuck in the traffic, but turned around and got to work from home today. Lucky duck.
4. We went to a friend's house last night for dinner, let our kids run around together, and I got to play Wii. I think we're going to get one from Santa. YAY!

6. We both have our fingers crossed that the preschool that we are interested in will miraculously have openings. We have a tour scheduled for next week. If we get in, our childcare payments will be cut by more than half. Wow.

8. I overslept this morning since the kids slept in and yet I managed to get myself ready and the dishwasher unloaded in less than 30 minutes.
9. I am not convinced my kids will EVER be potty trained.
10. I am actually keeping my office clean (I am notorious for having papers all over my desk.)
1. I'm glad Mrs_F gave us a TTC update. It's been driving me nuts wondering if she has a BFP this month! :-)
2. Wishing Mrs_F tons of luck!
3. We had our first OB appt this morning (see other board for details)
4. I love our little blob sooooo much.

6. i really want to upgrade my camera, even though it isn't neccessary.
7. i'm going to put a certain amount away every check specifically for a new camera. when i get there, i can buy it.

ours didn't, which we were actually glad about. we had an u/s at the RE before she was released, and then we had two visits with the OB before we were even scheduled for the second u/s. we only had the third because they wanted to check something. i liked that it gave us some time to get to know the OB, and there have been some studies that suggest that the u/s can affect brain bevelopment, so the fewer the better for us. i imagine, though, that if she had the bleeding issues you've had we'd have been on our knees begging for one!
Uh-oh. With all of the u/s sounds I had, my kids should be non-functional. Seriously, I can't count the number I had - between the issues I had in the beginning of my pregnancy, Gray refusing to grow in utero, and general regular u/s due to the twin (higher risk) I bet I had AT LEAST 20.
Thankfully - they seem fine. Although maybe it affected their ability to potty train.
lol! eh, i don't know how conclusive the studies are, and i don't think it's a huge issue. the only one i can find right now is from a few years ago that was done on mice--although i know i just saw something again recently, i just can't remember where for the life of me. but since we haven't had any medical reasons to have them other than that double check, we figure we'll play it safe. seriously, if she was having any issues i'd be clamoring for them.
