Re: TTT
1. I am managing to work from home part of today - this could be addicting.
2. mmm....coffee and the dog at my feet...
3. We can't wait to TTC again - let's hope the next leg of our TTC journey brings fast success.
4. I panicked because I thought TWB was being induced - she's not - it was another momma.
5. I am excited for take out Indian food tonight.
6. I am not excited about the freezing rain on its way.
7. I am not excited about the Massachusetts election.
8. Is it spring yet?
9. Are we trying again yet?
10. Need more coffee...
1) i have the stomach death
2) i'm in a foul mood
3) we're minivan shopping and i never, ever thought I'd ever say that
4) Sprout has counseling today and i'm not in the mood (its family counseling so i have to participate)
5) i think i might send out valentines cards this year
6) i havent done anything productive all day
7) i'm so very tired but have no reason to be b/c Rosebud nearly slept through the night last night (didnt wake until 4:30!!)
8) i hope this stomach death passes quickly
9) i'm a terrible sick person
10) the kids have been with us over a month and that feels like a huge milestone!

1. Annie is crawling and no matter how well I think we childproofed she finds something I missed every day.
2. We are trying to decide on who to name as guardians for Annie should anything happen to us. It is way harder than I ever thought it would be. Heaven forbid anything should ever happen.
3. Annie is a computer genius. I walked away to let the dog out with my laptop sitting in the chair and I came back and she was downloading firefox. I have no idea how.
4. They are siding the house next door and I fear naptime will be a disaster from the pounding.
5. I need a new job in a bad way.
6. I am sad over all the celebrating my bil and sils are doing over the vote in Mass. It is part of the reason I dont want to name any of them as guardians
7. I am wondering if offering to name them as guardians would push Carols cousin to marry his girlfriend. ( they are my first choice of our limited picks)
8. Can you tell I am really worring over this guardian thing?
9. We picked up Rylees ashes on Monday. I cried again when they handed me the box, but they put her in this really beautiful carved box with an engraved nameplate. It seemed fitting for her. She was a very regal dog.
10. I wish teething was easier for babies.

1. As part of my knee rehab I'm supposed to be wearing orthotics every day, all the time. They don't fit into many of my dress shoes so I've been skipping them for work, which is not good. I started looking at dress shoes today that will accomodate the orthotics and they are SO ugly and SO, SO expensive. Ugh.
2. I cooked a whole chicken this weekend for the first time. It was surprisingly easy and I didn't mind picking the meat off the bones at all like I thought I would. Got a lot of meat and a great big pot of stock for $7.
3. Although the results in MA were disappointing, it was fun to watch Rachel Maddow last night b/c she was broadcasting from our old neighborhood, Jamaica Plain in Boston. Loved Jamaica Plain and living in a community with so many lesbians.
4. I thought I was putting sugar in my coffee this morning, but it's not quite right and now I wonder what it was - Splenda? Something...else? I'm still drinking it though so I hope it's nothing bad
5. Picked out the dates for our New Zealand trip while I should have been paying attention at my 11am meeting: March 12th-26th, 2011.
6. I've spent a lot of time worrying lately about what the babies' last name will be, even though we are still at least 15 months from TTC.
7. My dad told me again this weekend that he wishes I was a legal aid criminal defense attorney. I graduated from law school almost three years ago, and I never had any intention of practicing criminal law. I don't know when he is going to accept that this isn't ever going to happen. I know he thinks that this is the only acceptable use for a JD, but I do not have the personality (AT ALL) for that kind of work and it would make me miserable. Do your parents wish you were doing something else?
8. My 10 Things are always kinda long.
9. I thought about starting this thread yesterday but then thought maybe I shouldn't since I am not on here as often anymore. It's funny what rules we make up for ourselves.
10. I am back on my nutritionist-recommended, doctor-supervised diet of 1200-1500 calories a day. Some days that feels like plenty or more than enough; some days it feels awful.
CT - sorry you aren't feeling well. Maybe it's the thought of driving of mini-van that is causing your stomach death
1. My coworkers are flaking out on bowling for a fundraiser Friday night. I need two more people in order to have a team. :-(
2. Okay it's taken me so long to type #2 that we found two people for our bowling team :-)
3. Should I eat the healthy edamame I brought for lunch or grab taco bell when I head out to a meeting?
4. Cooked a crock-pot meal yesterday for tonight and it smelled yummy!
5. I need to start making myself go to be earlier.
6. I'm leaning towards taco bell.
7. I still haven't figured out when my parents should fly out here for the birth of the baby.
8. The curtains in the nursery were hung this weekend. Now we just need a table lamp and a rug.
9. The papers on my desk really need to be sorted and filed.
10. Yup - definitely taco bell. :-p
1. I love the rain and am kind of hoping for some thunder. It's so rare that we get actual weather.
2. We had three therapy appointments yesterday. It was way too much to have all those people tromping through my house. Two a day is the new max.
3. I am really sad that PBS is turning one. It's exciting but the year went so fast. She may be the only baby I ever have and now it's over. It makes my heart hurt.
4. I love our new vacuum
5. I have been trying EC with PBS and I truly suck at it. I will keep trying even though s thinks I am crazy LOL!
6. Today would be a great day to craft and/or bake. I am hoping for an energy surge soon.
7. The best sound in the world is two little girls giggling and shrieking as they "chase" eachother around the house.
8. I have never really wanted to be a homeowner, it scares me. But, I do hope we find a nice long-term lease on a house or townhouse one day. We need more room.
9. For the millionth time I am wishing we all lived closer. I would love to have you all at the baby's party.
10. Modern Family tonight, woo hoo!
BONUS- Who else was disappointed in the shlock parading down the Golden Globes red carpet masquerading as evening wear? Yuck!
lol, probably! though the truth is I wont be the one driving it! its going to be a sad, sad day for Andrea....she's even pushing for a lease so she knows she wont be stuck with it forever!

IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
1. I am starting to feel human again after being sick all weekend.
2. I wish we had grandparents/friends who could/would swoop in to help.
3. I need to work on my temper with the kids.
4. I made stir fry with General Tso sauce for dinner tonight. Should be good.
5. I have a strong inclination to run away on vacation. All.by.myself.
6. I missed lunch because of meetings an am now eating some snack mix - that really isn't very tasty and is so bad for me.
7. I could use a nap. I am still not 100% and my eyes are heavy and droopy.
8. I just paid off the minivan. No more car payments! Both cars are paid off!!! YAY!
9. Re: #9 - of course now I want to get rid of L's truck. I hate that thing. I really hate getting the kids in/out of it. But we'd be stupid to incur another car payment right now.
10. L is talking about driving to TN in April to her parents. I think she is nuts. 13 hours each way (without major stops) is not my idea of fun. And with nearly 4y olds it sounds more like torture. I have reminded her of our 3 hour trip
If it is the same one I took you can get it cheaply online from Canada because its isn't prescription there.

1. My run this morning was nice; no torrential downpour as predicted.
2. I'm excited for the bride I've been working with to do her tasting this weekend.
3. It's starting to sprinkle now.
4. I have a naughty themed cake due this weekend for an 80th birthday party! I hope he gets a laugh out of it.
5. I feel strong.
6. My wife is losing so much weight, I'm proud of her.
7. I don't want to be a bunny owner anymore.
8. TTC is still at the back of my mind.
9. My car still hasn't been fixed and won't be until at least mid-February.
10. Why has this board been so slow lately?
Two Mommies Healing Hearts
Go to inhousepharmacy.com. I used it for awhile. I think it helped some, but I actually had better luck when I combined it with the fenugreek and blessed thistle. Annie decided she is done with BFing. She went a nursing strike and my supply has tanked to being able to pump less than a half an ounce now.

1. I super hate this stupid bread-winner-women story.
2. C is on Clomid. The doc said we could opt for a low dose. We decided to be aggressive.
3. OK, I decided. She didn't really have a preference.
4. I have a mild cold and am annoyed.
5. I should clean the house.
6. I should read for class tomorrow.
7. I have NO IDEA how I will do my qualifying exam amid two classes, work and rugby, but I NEED to do it now so I can hopefully defend my proposal pre baby if C gets pg fast.
8. I am nervous it will take a long time.
9. I have accepted that we will be selling the house this year.
10. I really am unhappy about my cold.

1. i hate that work has blocked the boards. with a 2-month-old at home, it means i'm rarely able to actually get on and post--which is probably obvious since this was posted on wednesday and i'm just able to get to it on friday.
2. and it's been an hour and a half since i wrote #1, but i got called away on a poop emergency, got caught up in some other things, and am just getting back to it.
3. it has been a rough week for my wife. her back seized up on monday and is just starting to feel okay again.
4. we've been wanting to hang a bunch of pictures in our bedroom, but i'm having trouble deciding which ones.
5. i have a lot of pictures.
6. we need to go to the hardware store. and the craft store.
7. i'm really angry about something, and every time i think i'm getting over it something happens that makes me angry all over again.
8. i only have one long weekend left before i'm back to work full time. i'm not looking forward to it, and neither is my wife. at least she doens't go back until the end of february.
9. my printer is stupid. it keeps telling me it's out of paper, but it's not.
10. i'm going to go kiss my baby and my wife now.
