I hope ya'll don't mind that I changed the subject line a little. ;) How's everyone doing?

The buyers decided to accept our offer, so we get the house! Yahoo. Here's a link to the home if you have time to look:
http://www.northwest-national.com/29-576.htm

We're super excited. I'm a bit nervous about the prospect of having two house payments, and a home equity loan. Hopefully our current house will sell quickly.

I said goodbye to my boss yesterday. It was akward and he kept on giving me hugs. I always thought of him as fatherly, but with all that happened I wanted to distance myself. Then he said something like, "It's not like I"m trying to separate you and your husband. If times were ever to change...not that I'm wishing my wife would dye...maybe things would be different.". I said, "No. No, they wouldn't be different". Then I tried to ignore what he said b/c it was really uncomfortable. Yuk! I'm so glad I won't have to deal with him again.

I did agree to work for him in a couple of weeks. I so want to back out of it, I could use the money & don't feel responsible backing out of it...but it'd be nice to just have closure!!!

Thanks for listening. I hope you guys have a great July 1st. I better get back to my boxing!!!

Melanie - Thanks for starting the new thread and I don't mind the title at all!;-) I'm so glad you're moving away from your workplace. It's sounds so unhealthy for you to be there. I am so in love with your new home, it's not funny. I showed my DH and he's like that's the kind of house he would want us to live in. We sometimes talk in "pretend land" about where our ideal place to live would be. We're looking at buying a home here, but the prices are ridiculous still. We saw a really nice single level, 3 bedroom home on the street above us and when we inquired, it's selling for $835K. Yes, you read correctly. Disgusting. I think the home is only 1800 sq foot on a 6000sq foot lot. That's Hawaii for you.

Morris - Any signs of AF showing up soon? Did you guys go out on a date?

Hi Anne, Hi Autumn!

Last week I only worked out 3x because of all the craziness that was going on with the parties and houseguests. Now that things are more or less back to normal, I'm hoping for a better workout week and eating week. I'm on 12dpo and still no AF. I was spotting a little yesterday, but nothing today and my temp dropped and went back up this morning. I might test tomorrow if no signs of AF show. I don't know what to think. I will be keeping you guys updated.

Have a great week ladies!

Lisa
 
I'm so sorry Lisa. It WILL happen, I just know it!

lisa, i am sorry. how frustrating. keep trying though.

melanie, how awful and awkward with your boss! yuck! glad you got the house, and i cannot wait to take a peak.

no sign of af yet:( i am trying to relax and be patient, but i seem to be working awfully hard at relaxing - not a natural state!!

anyways, i will post more later at any rate. any idea when you will close, melanie? what about your exisiting home?
 
Melanie - Congrats on the house, it's gorgeous. It's so open and pretty. I'd love to live there. My husband would love the extra garage too. When do you start the new job?

Lisa - Sorry about AF finding coming.}( It will happen for you soon, don't get discouraged. I've been at it for 15+ months...gotta stay positive.

Morris - Sorry you're still waiting for AF to arrive. Hmmm...will you talk to your Dr. about it soon or does it take a while after you're done breast feeding?

Well, I did a couple two-a-day workouts and really paid for it. I thought I was done bleeding, but after lifting some heavy weights the other day, I started to bleed again. I didn't know that you're supposed to take it easy after m/c.

I have an appointment this Thursday to see if my HCG levels are back to normal. I should also be able to get the blood results from last week to see if I have any Antibodies that might be causing all my m/c. Hopefully, find something out soon.

So, I bought the pre-sale dvd's along with IMax3. I'm intimidated by just watching it! Has anyone done IMax3? I think I'll really need to work up to that one. A lot of different and confusing moves!

What is everyone doing for the 4th of July? I think we might just catch some fireworks and I may go fishing on Thursday with DH. Hope everyone is having a good Monday!

Hi Autumn!
Anne
 
Melanie, your new home is beautiful!! You have so many exciting things happening.

Lisa, sorry about the temp. Wow Lisa, how do regular people live in Hawaii? Are you a native? I have always wanted to visit. Maybe some day... when the kids are older.

Morris, I hope AF visits soon. It is tough waiting for her return.

Anne, I pray you get answers!

I have some nerve issue... my fingers tingle. I believe it is the ulnar nerve but the median nerve (Carpal Tunnel) may be involved too. I see the doctor tomorrow. Anyway, the symptoms get worse when I am typing... so off I go.

Happy 4th eveyone!

Autumn
 
It's so nice to hear from everyone!

Good news, the deal on your "land" fell through. This means we'll be able to put a significantly higher down payment on our new house (and payments will be much more affordable). Yeah! Actually, I've had quite a productive day...scoring $1200 from my Toyota dealer for tire replacement. Wow! I feel like God is showering me with blessings galaore today!!!!!

Morris, has I was confused about AF...but now I understand...you're waiting for first since having your wee one? I never had one b/w 2nd and 3rd boys...you may not either...

Wow, it's so great to hear from everyone!! I am at work and starting my holiday a little early, or at least trying to take it easy today!

Morris - AF showed up way earlier the second time around when I was breastfeeding than the first time. It took me awhile to get AF when I breastfed my firstborn. Did you ask your dr. what might help boost your ovulation?

Anne - My bleeding with my m/c seemed to hang around forever. It was never super heavy, but just wouldn't leave. I spotted like for weeks then it finally stopped and then AF arrived a week after that. It was really sucky. I have IMAX3 and it's a killer workout. Very high intensity jumping wise and cardio. That's a "get my butt in gear" workout.

Melanie - Sounds like you're being blessed all over the place! I'm so happy that things are going well for you esp. since you've been through so much.

Autumn - My DH is part native Hawaiian. I'm not. We were both born and raised here so our families are here which make it hard to leave even though costs are really high. We've thought about it, but our roots are pretty deep here so it's hard to leave family esp. since they help with babysitting. To move here from the outside unless you bought a home a long time ago here or get compensated really well, it's hard. Hope your nerve issue gets better.

I guess I'll be getting back to my work. Contemplating my workout for today. I noticed that since I've been running, my upper thighs have bulked a little. Does that happen for anyone else? Happy 4th of July ladies!!

Lisa
 
Today wasn't as wonderful as yesterday...but great just the same! Another answer to prayers: I DON'T HAVE TO GO BACK TO WORK FOR MY X-BOSS FOR THAT WEEKEND!!!! Wow! Yeah! I"m so excited. I have OFFICIALLY ended that chapter of my life!
Happy 4th everyone!

Yay Melanie - Never thought I'd hear someone happy to have AF arrive on a TTC board! I'm happy that things are getting back to normal for you!

Well, saw the Dr. today and some of my tests came back positive for antibodies. She didn't want to interpret further, so she's sending me to a High risk specialist OBGyn to have them handle the next steps. Luckily they were able to get me in on Monday, so we'll take it from there. She told me to hold off on TTC until they get things figured out. I'm should be ovulating in the next few days, so it's hard not to want to try, but I don't want to risk another m/c if I can help it, so I'll listen to her.

Had a nice last 2 days off, so that's nice.

Lisa - Sorry, I didn't know you had a m/c as well. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Morris, Autumn!

How is everyone?

Anne
 
Melanie - Yay, for more good news! So when is moving day happening?

Anne - I'm glad they figured out what's going on and got you in with the specialist right away.

Hi Morris and Autumn!

I'm taking a vacation day tomorrow since I have to use up a week of vacation before the end of this month. I'm going to be mostly doing errands tomorrow, but I'm just glad that I won't have to go into work. I've been trying to eat better, but it's been hard with the kids home more and all kinds of candy and junk laying around from the parties last week. I've been working out though so at least I'm doing something. Anyway, hope to hear from you ladies!

Lisa
 
hi everyone

melanie, i am so glad you don't have to go back. also glad af visited;)

anne, good to get some info. hope things go well with the specialist. that is fanastic you got in so soon.

lisa, enjoy your day - someitmes it is nice to not have to pack errands onto the end of a work day.

hi autumn - hope all is well.

i too have not been eating great - too much i think now that i have stopped nursing. finn started a new daycare today - this will be his permanent place. he has had a hard time this week, probably due to all the changes. i hope he settles soon though. i hate to see him sad. work is really busy this week as 2 dr's are out. i am atill working out, but not as much as i'd like.also, family is still in town. we went for a family bike ride on the 4th - finn's first time in a bike seat! he loved it.
take care
 
Morris, you sound so busy! I will pray that Finn's transition will be quick and swift. Is he completely done nursing then? Jadon still nurses once or twice a day, usually at night only. I'm about to give that up too...but want to wait until we get to the new home.

We signed a purchase agreement for the new house, and paid ernast. We found a great mortgage rate at priceline.com, I didn't even know they did mortgages!!!

Workouts are spuratic at best. We had one showing of our house...which didn't go well as plumber was working in bath and house was trashed. :( They actually said our house looked cluttered and smelled like dog. I feel just awful. I've been cleaning all day. Shampooed carpet, washed windows, etc... It's so darn hard to keep the home in "showroom" condition with 3 boys and a large dog! Any hints from you momas? We will have more showings on Saturday. :)

Oh, Lisa...I'm on vacation too! I took the week off, but now with my x-boss giving me 3 days off (I didn't schedule relief work then) we're going to be super tight on funds!!!
I"m actually exhausted from my "vacation", have you done anything fun?
