Hi B! How are you? I think about you often and hope all is going well - how are C and J and L? I am assuming you are crazy-busy most of the time... I have been spending Wednesdays with A's little 'playgroup' and watching the two other moms dealing with their newborns and their 3-year-olds. It looks like so much work and then I think what if there were two! How do you go to a park? One baby in the front pack, and one stays in the carseat carrier? And C wanting pushes on the swing...and the babies have to be fed - With the woman who has 3 kids...(3, 2, & 3 weeks) seems like the two older ones always get in to an altercation when S (the mom) is trying to breastfeed. And at one point she laid the baby on the floor while we were cleaning up toys - ohmigosh I thought he was going to get stepped on like 5 times. My mom had a hot pink bath mat she usd to lay me on when I was a baby so my brothers could see me on the floor - now I see why!! Anyway - I guess my point is - I imagine you definitely have your hands full!
So what's new with us - I am doing a Frozen Embryo transfer next Monday - then R leaves for 6 days that following Friday. Nothing like spending 1/2 that 2ww alone! :( All you do for the FET is wear tons of Estrogen patches - they check your lining day 15 then stick 'em back in day 18. I missed my day 1 ultrasound because I had my back go in to spasms the day before. Yikes! I've never had a muscle spasm anywhere in my body much less the middle of my back. Lordy, that smarts!!! I was laid up for days and days. Now I'm having sciatic pain and I was in the Emergency room Sunday night with a brutal, raging bladder infection. Haven't had one of those in 10 years. And for some unknown reason my heart is beating really fast all the time. I feel like an absolute train wreck. Doesn't feel like the most nurturing atmosphere for an egg to grow inside me right now - but maybe that will mean it will work, who knows? :P But back to the fact that I missed the day 1 Ultrasound - the nurse was like "oh well - that's fine no big deal" and I was thinking Hmm, $167.00 we just saved and it's no big deal - I just might have to miss the 1st U/S more often :)
Easter was cool - the weather was really nice here - was it nice there, too? We hid plastic eggs all around the first floor and A LOVED it - we spent the entire day rehiding and reseeking eggs all over the house and out in the back yard.
A is loving her preschool and I am sad it's ending in June - can't really find anything for her to do over the summer, either - almost everything starts at age 4. I want to find some swimming lessons for her even though I can't imagine her actually participating in any way. You never know, though. I thought preschool would be traumatic for her and she did just fine. I could use some swimming lessons too - I can barely swim to save my own life. Chalk that up to some inept and sadistic swim teachers when I was a kid. Cured me of the desire to swim for life. :) :)
Well I just wanted to say hello - hope you are happy and healthy and all that :)
Talk to you soon!
