Hahaha, the NUB THEORY! I love that :grin: I have heard of that before, in fact geeked out a little bit about how stinkin' cool it is to DH a few weeks back. If I was getting a u/s at 'nub time' I would definitely have tried for a 'nub shot' (freakin' dying here, for some reason the word 'nub' just kills me!! :lol )
We're not doing any costumes because I'm a lazy slug about holidays. I mean, I always
mean to decorate, do something seasonal or generally participate in culturally normative festivities, but I just kinda... never get around to it, haha! I expect we'll start doing costumes when Eli is old enough to ask why he didn't get a costume! :rotflmao
@ChristineAnn, I'm crossing my fingers the MS train pulls out of your station soon. Like chuord, mine has been subsiding (in a two-steps-forward, one-step-back kind of way) but I'm definitely feeling "better" these days. Of course, "better" means I can actually eat and I'm not nauseous all day, but I'm yawning through the day and crashing early every night. This pregnancy is
so different for me - I really cannot express what a big whiny baby I am being because I expected to sail through it like the last one, LOL! :lol
@chuord - YAY FOR GETTING OFF INJECTIONS! :joy I imagine after IVF you do get pretty desensitized to "less obnoxious" interventions like u/s.
As for me: Elective u/s scheduled in 3 weeks to (assuming baby cooperates) determine gender. We will reveal the pg to our families then, so I'm excited! Other than that, I'm... stressed. I don't know 1) where I'll be living 2) who will be my care provider or 3) where I'll be able to deliver, and "getting the house on the market" has been - at this point - a 2 year project, with it taking over 75% of our free time for the last 6 months. I am tired, and tired of it, but I can't just say "screw it" and throw it on the market, we would lose a ridiculous amount of money. Most of the things left to do are low-cost-high-impact - but labor intensive, like "paint the exterior of the house"! - or else about a trillion little detail things. DH has a side business that has started generating some nice referrals so he's taking advantage of the extra income while it's being offered, but that means he doesn't have any time to work on the house and I've spent the last 8 weeks feeling like absolute garbage and generally just "surviving." It feels like we've made NO PROGRESS AT ALL and we're NEVER EVER EVER GOING TO FINISH THIS AWFUL JOB.
I'm never selling another house again. This process has been an absolute nightmare and I fully believe has been the root cause of my anxiety over the last year. I already told DH, prepare to wait a while to buy the "perfect" next house, because we'll be living there until we die. :shake
Yeah, I'm going a little crazy! :nut
Also, apologies for being so hit or miss! I find it really difficult to respond to lengthy/deep threads via mobile since I can't tab back to remember who and what I wanted to respond to... and mobile is 95% of my access, these days!
