DH is still on the mend, he's doing good, thanks for asking!
He's out of the leg immobilizer completely now, no more crutches, just a fancy knee brace. He starts PT on his knee this Friday & has his 2nd post op appointment the beginning of March. I'm wondering if that's the appointment to see if he's good to get off workman's comp or not?Evalyne, I'm on pins & needles for you!!! I hope you get some answers soon, & an answer that will move you to the 1st tri board!! Good luck!!!View Thread

I really do hope to join you ladies soon again! I know I said earlier the wait would be easier now since of the possibility of birthday crashes, but it's not. I haven't been having that "pull" since I got over all of that stuff happening all at once. Still wanting a baby, but that "pull" wasn't there because I knew it had to wait. We still have to wait, but that pull is back. Mainly because my best friend, who should have been my sister in life, was the only one that knew we were ttc baby #3, & since we told her, she's been having dreams off & on that I'm pregnant & it's a girl everytime. We have 2 boys & hope for a girl (but a healthy boy will be just fine). Then my mom(who didn't know we were ttc) told me last week that she had a dream I was pregnant & I had a girl, and even went into details on her features and everything. I have people asking me all of a sudden when we're going to have another baby, and it's just....not helping this waiting game at all. It's making it worse than before. It's all I think about. So I really hope jobs start rolling in soon. Baby is on the mind all the time!!View Thread

We just found out yesterday that DH DOES have to have surgery to repair his meniscus. I know it's not a big deal surgery, but to be honest, I'm scared. I don't want anything happening to him & be that rare case that has an underlying condition & he dies on the table over something so routine. I'm crazy...I know! Haha! We're finally getting his workman's comp checks in after 2 weeks of living off of $500!! It was tight & hard, but we made $500 last 2 weeks! I've applied for 4 jobs so far, 3 within the past 3 days, so hopefully something will kick in to gear here! I won't have to worry about child care until DH gets to ok to start looking for a new job from workman's comp, and that will be at LEAST 2 months, if I get a job soon. Ugh....stress....it sucks!
Good luck this cycle, ladies!!!View Thread

I hope you have a happy & healthy pregnancy!!
I wonder how many left from this discussion post do we have to get a BFP now?View Thread
With an update with me(Sorry if it's long, I just need to get this out), I went back on my BCP 3 days ago. It took me a few days to be ok with the fact that there's no baby #3, & won't be until DH can find a job. He is getting workman's comp payments to help us out, but it's not as much as when he was working. Unemployment is even less than that. And he can't get unemployment while on workman's comp. We won't know if he'll need surgery on his knee for another 2 weeks, & he won't be able to look for a job until he's off of work restrictions, so it may be a few more months til he can find another job. I had to cancel my registration for Spring semester, so I won't be a student this semester. When I signed up for financial aid in the fall, it asked for just fall, just spring, or both semesters. I thought if i hit "just fall" i could reapply for more for spring....no. I had to hit "both semesters" to get aid for both semesters. I...was not thinking there. So now, I won't get enough financial aid to help with the cost of living. I feel kinda...lost...not being a student right now. It's ok though, because I'm done with my pre-reqs for my course, and I took all the extracurriculars I can, so we're saving a semester or tuition/book costs. Still...it'd be nice for my financial aid overage right now. So, I'm looking for a job since I won't be a full time student til fall semester. I'm kind of heart broken about it because I had a taste of stay at home mom life for the past 6 months, & I don't want to work til I get my degree, cuz I'll be working alot then. I just want to enjoy my boys as much as I can(& that's why we were going to try for #3...cuz I was staying home). Before moving here, I worked full time, and started my classes online, so I was always working or working on classes. They didn't get much mommy time. And my youngest, he's 4, & SUCH a momma's boy. He's attached to my hip, and I'm scared to push him into a daycare where he doesn't know anybody & there's more kids, so he probably won't get as much 1 on 1 time he's used to. Back at our hometown, when we'd have to work, we had family watch our boys. Ugh...I'm just starting to feel everything happening is my fault. I could've found a degree 100% online, we could've stayed at our hometown where my husband could've stayed at the job he had for 7 years with GREAT pay & GREAT benefits. I'm thankful for him in supporting my decisions, but...I do feel crummy about everything going on, like it's my fault. I'm thankful for my dad, too. He's helping us out financially until we can get back on our feet. My dad & DH tell me to stop worrying, that everything will be ok, & for me to just keep focusing on our future, cuz that's what brought us here in the first place. Me wanting to better our future by getting a degree. They're right. But I'm a woman/mom...I worry.
Sorry for my rambling, but I'm done now.

I hope there's a BFP somewhere in this group!
Good luck to you all!!
