We did our fist of the 40 hours observation hours required by our agency. We have more scheduled over the next few weekends, then we will have the homestudy. So pretty much we are going to be foster parents soon. Eeeep.
I am thankful for my DH and his big heart, and our pets. Also always thankful for friends, IRL and online.

@islandmonkey8 ... Lupron made me tired, too. Happy to see you trucking along!
@seahorse01 ... Congrats on getting one step closer!
AFM - still f'ing bleeding. I've had enough of this. OB originally said expect to bleed 2-4 weeks. At 4 1/2 weeks, I called and was then told that I can bleed up to 6 weeks. I made them schedule me an US next week because I'm convinced that this isn't normal. I hate this office... Not to mention they haven't called once to a) see how I'm doing or b) review ANY of the labs done when I was in the hospital. I can't wait to move and go back to my old OB/GYN. Sorry for yet another Debbie Downer post.
QOTW: so unbelievably grateful for my husband... I don't know how I'd survive all of this without him. Also very grateful for the love and support I've recieved over the past month from friends IRL and my Nesties.

Yay @seahorse!! I'm SO beyond thrilled for you and the Mister!
@futuremrswright2012 - I'm so sorry all this has happened
I hate that your clinic hasn't even bothered to check in on you!
GL@iloveredvino!

@rockabye YAY! Bring it on!!
@seahorse Hopefully the rest of the observation hours go swimmingly!
@Iloveredvino I'll be thinking of you tomorrow! Best wishes for a smooth transfer!
@futuremrswright2012 I hope that you can finally get your OB to get his/her head out of his ass and help figure out what's going on.
Thinking of all of you often!

@FutureMrsWright2012 I'm so that your doctor is being an asshat :-/ I hope you stop bleeding soon. Sending yu lots of love.
@islandmonkey8 I'm sorry the Lupron is making you tired :-/ wishing you the best this cycle!
@ILoveRedVino ❤️❤️❤️❤️Sending you so much love. I hope this is it for you!
@seahorse01 yay!!!! I'm so excited for you!
@poppies717 I'm so sorry about the email. :-( I'm excited you guys are so close, though!
Update: No new news. My body can't decide if AF is here or not. So I will have a day of heavy bleeding, then nothing, then heavy bleeding, then nothing. Dumb.
QOTW: I'm thankful for all of the support in my life and finding this incredible community here.

Not much new here. DH seemed kind of apathetic about starting the adoption process for a while. He seems to have warmed up to it more now.
I am thankful for my husband (I know cliché, but really), our house, and my new-ish job that I'm really enjoying.
Married August 2009
3 years. 5 losses.
Our rainbow baby boy born 11.16.15
DE IVF ER - 12/2/2016 (17R/10F = 8 frosties); FET 1.0 (1/27/2017) - BFP 6dp5dt (EDD 10/16/2017)
ETA: I'm aslo super annoyed that she doesn't seem to understand why I can't schedule a pap around my cycle. She seems annoyed that I'm not sure when I will have my period. Well, I would love to be able to tell you that. I would love to be able to know what days I might have it, but I just don't know. Why can't we schedule an appointment and if I'm not bleeding then we can do a pap! Oh, because the coding wouldn't match up!
