I know how excited everyone is to read simply bulleted lists of boring general updates, so that is ~exactly~ what you are getting! Yay for you!


~ I was in my funkitude again this past weekend, but I'm coming out of it. In fact, I feel quite great today. I have made a choice to focus on all the things that rule in my life. My husband is awesome. My kids are cute. My job is, well, I have a job. Karl is doing quite well in my belly. I just have been focusing on some things that were completely out of my control. And in looking at it further, I was really focusing on things in the wrong way. Let's just say the wool had been pulled over my eyes for quite awhile and it took me some balls to simply lift it up. There's nothing like the right perspective to really help things. Everything is going to be just fine. I now know this for certain.

~ I've lost weight. Very, very bad. I am normally 5'8" and 145 lbs and was up to 157 when I got my BFP. The 12 lbs was due to treatments, but we were counting them as pregnancy pounds. As of today, I was 158 lbs, down 2 lbs from 2 weeks ago. The problem is I don't eat when I'm in my funk. Poor Tom has to force me to eat by explaining the baby needs it. And I know that but it wasn't helping. He made me a sandwich on Saturday which I forced down. On Sunday, I ate a donut. No, two donuts. I don't think I even ate anything yesterday except a cookie. And it's 12:46pm today and I haven't eaten. I'm taking my vitamins, but I need to get some calories down. Since I'm feeling emotionally fabulous today, I hope this will be changing. I brought it some yummy soups, so in a few moments, I'll go heat one of those up. I'm definitely not feeling hungry, but I'll do it for Karl.

~ I think I finally got everything I needed for the baby's arrival, as the moses basket came yesterday. Now it's all up to getting our new carpet installed (scheduled for the 28th) and then I'll get to set it all up. The room is already painted a light baby blue, so I don't really have much to do. I may change the curtains and get an area rug, but we'll see how it all turns out.

~ I have another NST/BPP scheduled tomorrow. Although this cord issue I have is scary as all hell, getting to see Karl every week is exciting. And where I live, the official "geddes keepsake" 3D u/s site is actually my doctor's office. So the tech is actually the tech for the other company and it's the same machine. So she always sneaks a few 3D u/s pictures for me. Coolio.

~ I'm going to schedule my official 3D u/s here soon. I'm 26w this friday and I think I used to get them around 27/28w. Although lord knows I have enough u/s pictures of this special IVF/FET baby, the 3D package is still something special. And plus, I got it done with the 1st two, so that means I have to do it for this one. All you first timers take note - if you go overboard with your first, you are automatically going overboard with each additional baby. With all I have to pay with daycare and u/s and photo shoots and bronzed shoes, I'm going to be living in a van down my the river in no time!

~ THANK you all for your comments to the induction post and for all who answered my IF poll. (there is still one day left to vote!) I'm going to be doing something with that shortly.

My goodness, that was all baby related. Sorry about that. So, for anyone who's gotten this far, let me end it with a question.

If you had to pick losing one of the following senses, what would you choose?
