Not your average breakfast

-
Meg and I woke up early so we could hit whole foods for breakfast and buy chocolate chips (Meg is going to bake cookies!) We were a little early, so we decided to wait in the car. When people started rushing the door, Meg and I thought we should follow suit...I've never seen anything like it. There had to be 30+ people anxiously awaiting the store opening.

Naturally, I started cracking jokes and embarrassing Megan. The guy in front of us thought my black friday comparison was hilarious. Meg did not. lol, she also didn't appreciate my shopping cart popawheelie. Note to self...it's not a good idea to piss off a pregnant woman before she eats breakfast!!!

When the doors finally opened a mass of people rushed to fill their recyclable water jugs. Meg and I headed towards the fruit and then made our way towards the breakfast bar (clearly our priorities had nothing to do with preparing for the impending hurricane).

We picked out an apple danish and breakfast sandwich to share. All of the sudden Meg asked if they had deli pickles. I scoped it out and bought two. I'm thinking I should have bought more because when we sat down to eat breakfast Meg cracked open the deli pickle container. EWW!!!

I know. I know. You're probably thinking, get used to it Jen, it's only going to get worse. (I'm sort of afraid)

    Saw your link on itsmekatielou's blog and thought I'd check it out. I'm working nights and go for my second attempt at IUI tomorrow. My colleague's (who know nothing of our treatment) must think I'm insane. I am welling up reading about your fabulous news.
    I am 36 and my fiance Eleanor puts up with all the tears and drama of a failed attempt like a trouper but has no-one to support her which is awful.
    I'm looking forward to another attempt at treatment but nervous of the result, not sure I can stand another 2 week wait.

    I'm so glad you found us!! The tww is the worst!!! I told Meg we could stop after one baby so that I never had to go through it again! (I was only kidding)

    I know it's probably harder on Meg (she physically has put up with the "symptoms") but the tww is an emotional rollercoaster. There were times where I was overly optimistic, but after each failed attempt part of me started to doubt...it's a defense mechanism. Meg became a negative nancy.

    I wish you the best of luck tomorrow and for this cycle in general...definitely follow the blog. I'm looking forward to seeing you through the next torturous two weeks...I'll be crossing my fingers for a bfp!!! Hi, to Eleanor!

Update

I know it's been a few days since I last blogged, so I just wanted to give you an update... Meg and I have been busy getting ready for the new school year (she came to school with my mom and I and organized my classroom library!!) She's still feeling nauseous and doesn't seem to have much of an appetite. She claims that it's all worth it, so that's a good sign! Friday is our next ultrasound appointment...I think we're supposed to hear the heartbeat, so that's exciting! With only 2-4 weeks left at RMA we're running out of time to find an obgyn. This afternoon I spoke with a receptionist from a doctor's office affiliated with a brand new hospital opening in November. It's only 17 minutes from our house, so it's perfect AND it's located in NJ, so my name can go on the birth certificate at the time of the birth. BONUS! The receptionist was really nice. She told me that there are 6 doctors and 4 midwives in the practice and that they w

Combating gas

Hmm..where do I even begin? Avery has been a great baby from the very first day she was born. So great that she pretty much slept through everything in the hospital (including her hearing test, doctor check up, and some of her hospital photoshoot) When we brought her home it was more of the same. She was a typical sleepy newborn. She rarely cried and was rather predictable. Her only problem was gas. By the time Avery was 2 weeks old, we had switched her to Enfamil Gentlease. It seemed to work better than the Enfamil newborn, but Avery still suffers from gas on occasion.  We tried adding gripe water into her bottles. This caused Avery to develop a rash all over her body (which ultimately made her more uncomfortable). Our most recent attempt revolved around Little Tummies. While the drops do seem to calm her, they only work temporarily. Oh, and Avery despises the taste of them (despite their "berry flavor"). Seriously, I'm waiting for her to foam at the mouth one day!

One Week Later...

It has been 7 days since the birth of our beautiful little girl and I've already learned so much...Here are the highlights so far... 1. I've learned how to change a wet diaper. 2. Keeping with number 1, I've learned that if I don't change Avery's diaper fast enough or if I try to change her before she fully wakes up Avery will pee on me! (definitely not just a boy thing!) 3. I've learned how to change a poopy diaper. 4. Keeping with number 3, I've learned that Avery can (and will) projectile poop if I don't change her diaper fast enough (happened twice so far!) 5. I've learned how to swaddle Avery (Meg is still much better at this than I am!) 6. I've learned how to make a bottle. 7. I've learned how to burp Avery..I'm kind of an expert! 8. I've learned how to tell when Avery is hungry (she does this weird thing with her tongue...Meg calls it rooting...I call it "Barney Crouch-ing"...after the guy in Harry Pot
