Hi Girls!
Just wanted to pop in and say hello since I haven't been around much, things have been so crazy for me lately! My work deadlines have been one after the other and I've been working my tail off (though not literally...in fact I think my butt is getting bigger from all the stress eating!). But I am thankful that I have a job because I just found out that the place I worked previously has decided to move the whole department to another office in California so I would have been unemployed! , lucky that I missed that! Then I got AF this week so I was kinda bummed and just didn't feel I had much for encouraging words to offer. I didn't get my hopes up too high since I know we are technically starting over with ttc but it's still not easy to see the old hag show up. But I've told myself that we'll just try again and hope for the best and I'm gonna snap out of my funk now!

This weekend I'm going to ditch out on work and do something fun for a change...sewing a quilt! My neighbor is popping out baby #3 in about a month and since now I have this reputation of always giving baby quilts as gifts I suppose I better get moving! I love to sew but I just haven't had the time or the energy lately...but now I'm going to MAKE time! Then tonight dh and I are going out to dinner for our 5 year wedding anniversary!! I can't believe it's been that long! He had to work today but surprised me this morning with 2 dozen roses and a really sappy card...I was bawling!

Anyway, sorry this got long! Happy Sweetest Day to all of you and take today to forget about ttc and remember why you fell in love with the person that is there with you right now!

Kristin sweetie I'm so sorry AF showed up, I'm sure you tried not to get your hopes up....but I know how hard it is not to have some hope, and how awful it is to have AF arrive and dash it yet again.

I guess all I can say is hang in there....you are starting over all "clean and fresh" and your body just has to get into the swing of things. (sorry if that sounds bad....it's so hard to find the right encouraging & positive words....wish wand-waiving were a reality, then I'd just do that!) I trully wish from the bottom of my heart....that your time for TTC success is here.....you are such a deserving caring woman.... and it sounds like your DH is too (man not woman though)! what with those roses and sappy card (good on him!!) Gee I'm making a mishmash of this post....

I just wanted to let you know that I'm still around and wanting the very best for you my friend.

very best wishes and a great big HAPPY ANNIVERSARY - enjoy celebrating!!!!!

Hello Jenn! It's so nice to see you still pop on and check on me from time to time! How are you and Mason doing? I love the pic of both of you in your siggy, you both look so happy and Mason is so adorable! I can't believe how fast he's grown, time certainly does fly!

Thanks so much for your words of encouragement, it means a lot. I definitely need that lately, I've been feeling very frustrated with the whole ttc game already and we're only on cycle #3! I just keep telling myself we have to be patient and it really is like starting over...but like you said I wish there was some magic wand to be waved that would bring us that happy ending! I know we'll be parents one way or another in time, I just wish that time would get here already!!

Thanks again for checking in and be sure to keep in touch!
