Margaret - Good luck with your interviews.

Meg - Hope the cleaning went well. I hate cleaning up after a trip.

AFM - No major plans here today.

I'm doing pretty good with cleaning. It's slow going. DH's parents aren't the "tidiest" people. But I can't complain since they spent a week at our house watching the girls so we could go on our amazing trip. It's mostly vacuuming and mopping floors that is the worst.

Meg - It was so nice of your in-laws to give you guys the opportunity to go on the trip. Someday you should look into a Roomba. I got one mostly for entertainment value but I am suprised at how well it vacuums. You still have to pick up first but it works pretty well. Our mint, which is supposed to "mop," doesn't do as impressive of a job.

Margaret - Hope your interviews go well.

We are starting to get out a little every day. I know DH would like to start exercising again and he gave up sweets for Lent. I am going to encourage him to nap this afternoon or get out of the house - his pick.

The Roomba would be nice to clean when I don't feel like it. We have a Kirby which I love. I watched a friend's Roomba once.

Margaret...how did DS appointment go and how were your interviews.

I really should start exercising again. I'm hoping to go to yoga tomorrow. I probably gained weight on our trip since the cooks at the compound fed us such good food. We went to Ash Wednesday mass this morning. I don't give anything up since I wasn't raised to. Two of my girls are giving up gum and are going to practice piano more. Not sure what the third one is doing.

The interviews went well, next one is tomorrow afternoon.

Robbie's appointment was good but inconclusive. He may fit into a grey/borderline Asperger's diagnosis. The doc did say that there is a new diagnosis coming out in the DSM-V that may fit Robbie better. He will be going into a social skills program that last 20 hours. We also talked about some strategies for Robbie with writing and some activities he can do that are non-competitive.

hey ladies - realy quick just wanted to say HI and let you know that i had my ultrasound and blodwrk and i started BCP..... FET is schud. for april 4th!!! i start lurpon march 4th....ahhhh, it's really happening again..... i'm so full of emtions..i don't know if i should cry or do cartwheels.....ahhh

Hey Ladies! How is everyone? Well I finally made my decision and we will definilty go back to the RE in July when I come back from vacation. I'm going to give this one more shot and hopefully it will work this time. I'm not emotionally ready right now to be pregnant, as I just skipped what I believe was my first O. It was strange having O symptoms. I go today for my PP check-up and then I'm not going back to this doctor. We found a maternal fetal medicine doctor that I will call in May or June for a consultation. All in all, things are okay. I'm feeling much better these days. I still have issues with pregnant woman but I held a baby for the first time on Sunday and it felt very good. That little baby made me make my decision official. I realized I still want this very badly so I have to try again. It is still so surreal that I'm back to this board but at least there are a great bunch of girls here!!!

Meg-if you are familiar with my siggy please let me know if it is acceptable or not for when I post here. THanks!!

Margaret...Glad the appointment went well and you can put some things in place for DS.

Julie...glad you got a plan in place and will be starting soon. I can't wait to follow your journey.

Mari...sorry you have to be back here but we welcome you with open arms. I'm glad you came back for support. I can't begin to imagine the mix of emotions you are going through. The "firsts" are always hard. I still have issues with pregnant women and I came to the point myself that I didn't want to try anymore. It's something I don't think I'll ever be able to work through. I think your siggy is ok to post. It also gives women here your history that don't know you.

Does anyone have an V-day plans? I think DH and I are going to go out for dinner tonight. There are no good movies at our local theatre and I'm too lazy and cheap to drive to the bigger town to see a movie I'd like to see.

We went our for breakfast which was a nice change. We went to a place called Cora's - the food is yummy and they only do breakfast and lunch and every entree comes with a huge amount of fruit.

Meg would have seen on FB but I was at the ER in the middle of the night. My cold made breathing hard and it hurt to breathe. Turned out a pulled a muscle with all the hard coughing I have been doing.

Mari, I am sorry you have to come back under these circumstances but glad that you feel comfortable coming back. Hugs.

Sounds like you've had a nice day Margaret. Fresh fruit sounds good. The pineapple in Nicaragua was so good. It was white compared to the yellow pineapples I'm used to. How are you feeling now? Sorry you had to make a trip to the ER.

There is no school tomorrow. I'm having a few ladies over for coffee tomorrow and then I'll show them pics and share stories of our trip with them. We ordered 8 enlarged prints from our trip on Shutterfly today to enter into a local photo exhibit. We are planning on putting them in our bathroom and I think I'll take them to the church to display for people to see. My church puts a lot of money towards Nicaragua so it will be nice for ppl to see pics that haven't been there.

I made a cake today for V-day. DH's parents brought some tiramisu marscapone cheese that I had no idea what to do with. The container said to spread on a chocolate cake so that's what I did. I have yet to try it. Hopefully it's good because I have another container of it in the freezer.
