Let's do a general check in! How is everyone doing? What's going on in your life?
Re: Hey everybody!
Thanks for asking! I'm doing better than I was yesterday... Got a really good report from my best friend about the baby, so I'm a little less worried. Still mourning the loss of my friend, but I feel better after a few good cries.
On a happier note, according to my monitor, I started Oing yesterday, so I'm looking forward to lots of ST over the next few days.

Natural Cycle (8/7/13)- BFP! Beta #1 (9/10/13): 509 Progesterone: 18.64 Beta #2 (9/12/13): 1118
I'm doing good. I'm a month in to my last year of grad school, and I hope it flies by. I'm working pretty much full-time as well right now and I kind of hope that I go to part-time because I get stressed out a lot. But we are going to Denver next week to see my brother and a football game and I'm so excited.
I hope all is well with everyone else.

I'm doing good today! We have a lot of construction going on in our house which is a good thing but a messy thing! At least we are finally making some progress! I haven't been temping or anything this cycle and I feel kind of stress free about it! It's a nice feeling except for the fact that DH think I'll "know" when I O. Silly boy! I am trying to just go with the flow and not think about making babies.

Nothing new here. Already looking forward to the weekend and a couple days of football and laziness.
@transponster Happy Birthday! Do you have any special plans today?
@sparklingdiamond That's excited about the progress on your house!
I'm not doing too bad today. Trying to keep myself occupied so that I don't tear through my chart with a fine tooth comb. It's looking slightly triphasic, and it's driving me crazy!
Not too much is going on in my life. Work during the day, then city stuff and family events at night. Tonight we have the open house at the new elementary school in town, and it's "meet your city council" night. So H has to be there, and I am helping with the food.

@LuckyAngel07 @brij2006 no I don't, unfortunately. I have class until 7 tonight, so I doubt I'll do anything, unless H wants to go out for supper. But I do have a bottle of wine my parents gave me over the weekend, so we'll drink that and smoke the cigars I bought on Saturday night during my alumni pub crawl.
Happy Birthday @transponster!!
This kid should be here by Saturday, or we will be moving forward with an eviction. Friday is my last day of work, and I cannot wait to be away from these fools for the next 10 weeks.

@transponster Happy Birthday!!
The ILs left yesterday (thank goodness)! I've been really frustrated with my FIL after this weekend,and it's just really weighing on me. It is all things that DH will need to handle, but I just hate to see these things happening.
Today is also 13DPO according to FF, and I'm going completely nuts. I'm trying to wait it out since the last few months were difficulty, but it is really hard. I'm trying to wait until Thurs or Friday to test, but we will see.

I will be her labor buddy, and I will be sure to post on GP with labels, obviously, so people who don't go to GPM know what's up!
