Nicole- Ooh, I hiope you manage to stay healthy in spite of your coworker being ill! Amber- Hope you start feeling better, too! Seems like it should stay better soon! AFM- Just playing the waiting game. Trying to be more positive which has been really hard. Going to try and work out in a little bit.

Morning ladies :) The commute home yesterday was rough and slow. The snow we got didn't accumulate much but it's pretty slippery. I took DH's car today just in case it's still slick when I leave this afternoon. I don't want to mess with it especially with my precious cargo ;) Amber: How did the pedialyte and jello stay down? I had jello yesterday too. That's all you can do right now is just that, nurse your tummy back to "regular". When is your next appt? How long has it been that you haven't taken your prenatal vit? Maybe there's an alternative way to get them into you because they are very important. I use the gummy version because the pills made me more sick, but those sometimes don't go down very well either. Tara: I hope so too, she's on Z-pack now and steroid drops for her ears because she has a double ear infection on top of the bad cold. Just glad she's being treated. How did HCG #3 go yesterday? Did you get a workout in? It IS always helpful to do that for your body AND mind :) I've been trying to do the treadmill every other day, just walk and only a 1/2 mile but it feels like something ya know ;) Love and ((HUGS)) to you all ♥

Nicole- Hope you're commute is okay with the inclement weather! Yeah, I think that just simply getting up and moving makes a big difference sometimes. I did workout yesterday which was nice. I did an insanity workout with DH. Totally kicks my butt! hCG #3 went fine. It hurt a little more than the last. I was probably a little tense. Just got home from work and off to bed shortly. Not a whole lot here to report.

Tara: Me too, it's supposed to warm up tomorrow and rain a lot so the snow will be gone once again. Not enough for a snowman this time ;) It DOES make a big difference! Wow the insanity workout sounds crazy, right up there with Jillian Michaels huh ;) It's nice your hubby did it with you :) It's easy to tense up when you're getting a shot, just one more and you're done! Sleep well :)

Nicole, the pedialyte and jello stayed down ok. I switched to straight water for the rest of they evening and I just felt like I couldn't get enough! I drank about three bottles before going to bed so all in all it was a good evening. I even ate some chicken and kept that down. I have been taking the prenatals on and off for the last week if I have a good day ill take them around dinner. But if I have a bad day I take them and they just come straight back up. my next appt is Monday so I'm going to talk to him about what I can do. I had been taking the gummies but they just started to make me gag for some reason, I have no problem swallowing pills but I have a very sensitive stomach, runs in the family, and my mom couldn't take those with me without getting sick so I don't even want to try it! glad your commute wasn't bad, we are getting a lot of rain here today in the Chicago area, good day to stay inside and catch up on homework for my classes!

Amber: That's good, and even better with the water :) Chicken too, so great you could get your protein :) I'm glad you're trying to keep up with the prenatals, I hear you on the bad days though. My next appt is Mon too, we'll both have an update on this sillyness. I know what you mean about the gummies, maybe it's the flavor or the consistency? My tummy is pretty sensitive too, especially with the pills. I know there's also the children's vits as an option. Rainy day there huh, is it cold?

It's actually rather warm today! The windows are open right now, now if only the sun would shine instead of rain it would be a pretty day! I think the gummy thing is the consistency that gets me which is weird because I normally love fruit chews like a big kid! Lol but ever since I became preggers I can't stand them! I'm thinking about trying the flinstones route.

Amber: Sounds like how it's going to be here tomorrow, nice to be able to have the windows open, come on sun ;) Me too, I love Aaron's fruit snacks! Food aversions are strange, normally something you love to eat just doesn't appeal to you anymore or you just despise now. Probably goes with the strong sense of smell too, it makes things taste different. Maybe the Flintstones WILL work better for you.

Hellooo everyone, just peeking in.. I've done alot of creeping but never seem to find the time to write before Layla needs something, or scarlet gets into something..or the never ending mountain of chores that need done that never seem to get done, guilt me into it. lol. I knew motherhood was stressful, but I dont ever seem like i can catch a break.. I had childcare provided for Layla before i made my school semester schedule, but then her godmother got a job and is getting divorced and can't watch layla anymore, so now we've been scrambling trying to find anywhere to put her that I feel comfortable with..and so far, NO WHERE has made me comfortable. My grandma watched her saturday so i could go get my hair cut and highlighted again, but couldnt get out of here fast enough as soon as I got back...and of course, had to say "she cried the whole time, maybe thats why J got a job, she couldnt handle it either". Nice. Thanks Grandma. Surprised she didnt follow that up with a "oh hey, your kids terrible because you were a gosh awful teenager" let me tell you, I am so jealous of people who have good relationships with their mothers and whos mothers can and will help out. If my mother in law lived closer, she'd help everyday..but then theres that 5 hour drive that seperates us. soo. Then I didnt think i was going to keep Scarlet because shes too much to deal with with Layla and listens about as well as...a rock. But, I decided to after all. I know from working in rescue how hard it is, but it used to come so easy. but thats before I had a husband, a house, classwork, homework, and a 3 month old baby to juggle around and deal with.. I used to be able to dedicate HOURS to training dogs. Now Im lucky if i can even go to the bathroom in peace! Then finances are insane.. Its like ugh! Plus I keep experiencing the nausea and tiredness AND had food poisioning last week! lol AHHHHH! How is everyone else? I hope i can keep up a lil better now. :(

Tara I really hope this is it for you and you don't need to do any more HCG shots! 15 weeks for some of you! congrats! AFM I was supposed to go to an aunts funeral ( who I didn't really know, but wanted to go as she was the last one of my mom's siblings), but didn't go because I had no sitter for my kids and the way they were this morning I was not about to take them. Plus, it's been raining on and off all day and it is over an hour drive. So I think one of my brothers is going to give me crud for it, but he has no idea that it is not easy for me to just find a sitter with a special needs son. The other thing is I am secretly hoping that I some how got pregnant this cycle. I am 14 dpo today and on cd 26. My cycles usually are only 24-25 days.
