K-k-k-Kia

I fear the Kia Pet is no more.  As I was on my way to pick up (of all things) chicken for our staff meeting last night, the light turned yellow so I hurried up and went through since I was already in the intersection.  Nice man in the LARGE Dodge van had the same thought and completed his left-hand turn at the same moment.  Needless to say, the Kia is now in shambles awaiting some TLC or at minimum, a decision.  It was a shock, as the air bags did deploy, but I was able to just kinda jump right out of the car and look at the wreckage.  Mind you, I've had bronchitis all week and it was a bit chilly yesterday so I'm standing on the street waiting for Chicago's finest, coughing myself silly.  I was fine... until I called Porch.  Then the tears started, but I quickly pulled myself together with the thought I'm alive.  It's a car.  It can be replaced. 

I made it to my staff meeting about 30 minutes late, but they had started and were already engaged in the workshop -- thank you Allen for being so amazing -- and I was super proud of them.  Ms. Lisa and Lulu went to get the chicken & we all had dinner together.  Thank you ladies for your willingness to help out!!  It's appreciated.  More than you know!

So my Thursday was a little bit crazy, far more crazy than usual.  But I did manage to watch the Grey's musical.  And of course it made me a little teary... that could have been me.  Well minus the baby thing and I was wearing my seat belt because momma didn't raise no fool.  =)

Thankful for the love & thoughts that people are sending... you're all fabulous. 

Am already thinking of what will happen... will I get my Kia back or will I have to go through the process of choosing a new one all over again?  Because let me tell you, Los Porchs are pretty picky people when it comes to vehicles.  I may have to get a CTA pass in the time it takes us to decide on something that will meet our standards.  :) 

And now, a moment for the Kia Pet.

Sigh.

The neighborhood gem

We have lived in our current place for about 2.5 years. Sunday marked the first time EVER that we walked to the neighborhood park and participated in open swim at the pool. I don't know why it took so long... maybe because we're not usually here on the weekends? Not sure. But Sunday was such a gorgeous day that we couldn't resist the urge to be outside but this preggo needed to be cool. I mentioned the pool and called to find out deets (hours, type of swim, fee, etc) and we slipped on our suits & were out the door in no time! We had been working all morning to assemble baby gear and catch up on laundry so we welcomed the break. We spent about an hour soaking up the sun and floating around in the water. We really aren't going anywhere (no more trips to the cabin or Green Bay for me) between now and the baby's arrival so I suspect that if the weather is nice, we'll be more likely to consider the pool.  Hey, it's clean, free, and close to home. Can...

when even the doctor feels badly for you

went for the repeat ultrasound yesterday with my heart filled with positive thoughts and feelings just to find out that my uterine lining is WAY too thick to move forward. in fact, dr. b was worried because my uterus and ovaries seem to be having different conversations about where they are in my cycle. blood was drawn and results revealed that i hadn't ovulated and so, my dear friends, i am back on birth control for an undetermined length of time. the short version of this paragraph:  i didn't bleed enough this month so i have to do it again. you know it's rough when even the doctor has that sad look in her eyes and wraps up the appointment with, "I feel so bad for you, it's just one thing after another." that's why i like her, to be honest. let's not sugar coat this process and let's skip the whole "we'll get 'em next time, tiger" pep talk. it sucks. and we're allowed to feel that, my fellow infertility peeps. it's o...

Maternity Pictures

I let out the biggest squeal of joy when I went to get the mail today and found this package waiting for me! Seriously, I've been stalking Bobbi's life and seeing everyone's amazing teasers was making me so much more excited to get our pictures!  I'm so happy to share the amazing work done by Bobbi at The Salty Peanut.  I highly recommend her to all of my Wisconsinite friends, particularly those in the Madison area, though she's willing to travel.  Check out the website here  and let her know that Mrs. Porch sent you her way!  Her work speaks for itself so I won't gush too much...... I seriously cannot pick a favorite.  So I'm not going to.  But you can!  :) Just 19 days until Baby Porch is predicted to arrive!  I'm so happy we got these back before she arrived; it's such a fun way to remember this exciting time in our lives.  And soon, we won't look nearly as well-rested, but we'll have ...
