Hi!

Hey Everyone! Happy Thursday!

Wow, I miss blogging (and reading blogs)...looking forward to being able to work it regularly into my days again! For now, a little stream-of-conscious sharing...

All's well down here in ABQ. Slowly getting unpacked...finally got around to unpacking most of my office today...it's not done, but it's starting to feel like mine vs a messy room with tons of boxes stacked everywhere. Amazing what some books on bookshelves will do! 

My mother-in-law is gone for the week in Vegas, so it's just me around here from 6:30 AM to 5 PM...love having the kids all day...I work like mad during their naps and then my husband takes over when he gets home so I can finish the work I need to finish. This isn't really tenable long-term, but it's been fun having so much time with the kids.  

On an unrelated note, I think I found a housecleaner, which is going to really help with my feeling that everything's kind of out of control around here.

And the FET...it's going well, but I have to say it's kind of lonely on the internet doing fertility procedures when you already have kids. It's true the stakes aren't as high as they are for those who don't yet have kids...I feel like everything's going to be great whether this works out or not...but still, taking all these drugs is hard and being in limbo is hard and not being able to do stuff is hard (no tea in the mornings, glass of wine in the evenings, no hot yoga or hiking as of Saturday when I start the patches...nothing that makes you sweat. No baths either which I'm particularly sad about.) Also, I feel like I JUST got back into shape from my pregnancy, back to the point where everything fit and I felt like I looked good...and I've already gained weight with the fertility drugs, but trying not to stress about it because I know I'll lose it no problem when the time is right.

Changing the subject again...my husband has a 3-day weekend starting tomorrow and I feel like we are going to be able to do so much to make this house feel like our home. I'm really loving our house, and what I've experienced of this city so far, which honestly isn't much between twins and unpacking and working. Can't wait for that first weekend where we can just have fun! It's been a long time since I've had a weekend like that.

I'm going to do a lot of picture posts next week (time in Colorado with my mom and dad, our trip down here, moving in, the kid's first birthday), and then I'll be feeling caught up in this space too, which will be great. That's kind of what I feel like I'm trying to do everywhere right now...get caught up and organized and settled. But the end is in sight! :)

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

XOXO
