Re: ~~3T Check-In~~
Updates: Nothing new really. Still working on paying off debt and saving up for IVF next summer.
QOTW: I love love love trashy TV (anything on Bravo, most anything on TLC, MTV reality shows, etc...). I don't know why, but I can't get enough of it!
FFC/AW of the week: My DH invited me to have a team in his Fantasy NBA league (mostly just because he needed an even number of teams to sign up).... And, I am kicking everyone's ass! For years, I actually despised watching basketball, and I definitely don't know enough about it to be winning, lol. There are 3 weeks left until playoffs, and FX that I take it all!
I'm sure my super competitive husband will be thrilled!

Still just waiting to see what my body does. I realized that we're pretty much out for a Christmas announcement. I didn't really expect anything even if I DID O, but oh well. It's just one more childless Christmas. *sigh* Otherwise, life is ok. We have good days and bad days...yesterday was bad, today is ok so far. ETA: Oh and I just found out that we very possibly may not be able to adopt in the future, so that's been "fun" to deal with. Hooray.
QOTW: This week, it's Hershey's candy cane kisses... Can't.Stop.Eating....
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
Oh, and the Brookstone dark chocolate covered fruits. They're so addictive, I keep nomming them even when I'm starting to feel sick. No wonder I've developed a little extra tummy pudge...

DH and I had a conversation and decided to put all thing adoption related (except saving) on hold for 6 months. Things were getting tense with the home-buying process and it was just too much on our plate. I feel very good about that decision.
A longtime friend of mine recently offered, in all seriousness, to be a gestational carrier for us. We are not interested in pursuing that route to parenthood, but I am touched by her gesture and thoughtfulness.

RAB- I'm so sorry you're going through this.
Lucky- fingers crossed your numbers drop to zero ASAP
Looney- thinking of you and sending so many good vibes and luck for January
Not much new here. Toying with the idea of trying OPKs this cycle (on day 12 today). I don't know why I think I will miraculously start Oing on my own. The mind is a terrible thing to lose.
This week's guilty pleasure- skinny cow ice cream sandwiches. Yum.
AW- Hawaii in one week! Eeeek. So, so excited.
