KUI anyone?

suzie211 · October 2013

Anyone around? I rarely drink by myself, and was having a pity party tonight that didn't seem right without a glass of wine. Thought I would pop in to see if anyone was drinking, too.

minskat30 · October 2013

@suzie211 - Why the pity party? I'm around (though cooking) and yes, I'm drinking wine.

suzie211 · October 2013

@minskat30 Today ended first month of TTC, and I will officially partaking in round 2. I know that I only have a 20% chance each month. H and I were just really hoping to be part of that 20%. My mom isn't helping because she really wants another grandchild like yesterday. Her talking about getting KU with all four of us on the first try stings.

Oh well, at least I can drink all the wine in the Four Lakes this weekend.

What are you cooking, and drinking?

I made filets, sauteed mushrooms, and asparagus for dinner. Washing it down with Malbec:)

Awww, @suzie211 - You guys have lots of time, despite what others are saying/demanding. I think the more you stress about it (like the more anyone stresses about anything) the less likely your body will relax and let nature take its course. Easy for me to say though...I'm stressing out myself about a situation I can't really post anything about online (will spill in person in a few weeks).

Cooking wise? I'm making a Farfalle pasta with black truffle oil topped with a tomato, basil, sautéed mushroom and onion and other veggie marinara. With that I'm making chicken thighs seasoned with lemon zest, parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper. I cook when I'm stressed...can you tell? I'm drinking Le Crema chardonnay (my favorite). <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

What else are you up to this evening? Where is your H?

minskat30 · October 2013

Oh and all that is for H. I'm eating a very sad microwave meal because there is no way in hell I could eat all that (and drink...and let's be honest, I'm not giving that up). It sucks but I'm really trying to lose this post-wedding weight.

suzie211 · October 2013

@minskat30 I totally am stressing myself out more than I should. I'm positive we'll be parents someday. I think some of the sads were hormone related. I'm always a crier on day 1. The wine is making me feel better, and I'm looking at it as another month that H and I get to ourselves and still get to sleep in on weekends.

I heart Le Crema chardonnay. Its so good. Your dinner sounds amazing! I am good with basics, but feel I need to branch out more with spices. I may have to steal your recipe to try.

H was home for dinner, and then walked over to his brother's to watch the Reds playoff game. They're twins and live for baseball. I was very happy to let them watch together. There will be lots of yelling at the TV tonight!

I'm so excited to meet you in 11 days!

suzie211 · October 2013

OMG, I hear you about the wine. No drinking would make me sad. You are gorgeous no matter what. But that is super nice of you to make dinner for your H like that. If I eat a frozen meal, H gets one too or gets to eat a PBJ. I only cook if both of us are eating because I'm too lazy to clean up after some one else's food.

minskat30 · October 2013

Yeah for 11 days (and much, much more wine)! I really wouldn't stress about it...and will ask you to tell me not to stress about it when we are TTC. You are both young and healthy and it will happen. Can I admit to something? I've always wanted to be a Mom, 100%, but I'm a little scared recently about it. Everything is going to change. Weekends, vacations, money, work, etc. I don't know why it hit me recently (I've helped to raise my nephew and niece so I should have known all this). It just feels more real now that H and I are married.

I have loads of recipes if you need spice variety. Our spice pantry is insane...I think we have just about everythiing so should you need to borrow some random spice, just let me know. Cooking is something I could do for hours and just zone out.

suzie211 · October 2013

Yeah for G2G and all the wine!

Thank you for also being scared! H and I both want to be parents, but are both so incredibly scared at the same time. I think marriage made it more real for us, as well. We've talked about it since early in our relationship. Then bam, its here and we could, for realz, be parents. Crazy. It's not weird to see my friends with kids, so I don't know why I feel like this for myself. My BFF called me hysterically crying the day she found out she was pregnant with her first. They were trying, but it hit her life was changing. I guess its normal.

I may just raid your spice cabinet! H is picky, but I am determined to make new food and have him at least try it. If he doesn't like it I've promised him he can eat a PBJ or grilled cheese instead.

I'm not a big cook for myself, but I do like cooking for others. I like to entertain and have parties. Its one of the reason's I justified our new dining room table. I needed a big one so I can have people over!

minskat30 · October 2013

Ha! I don't tell H half of what is in our dishes (though I leave out the stuff I really knows he hates) because I worry he's going to hate something I put in there even though I know he won't taste it. Does that make me a bad wife?

I think being scared is normal. H is really scared and wasn't the one who really was on the kid bandwagon (even though I think he will be a better Dad than I am a Mom). He is so great with our dog (who requires a LOT of patience). Are you guys hoping for a particular sex of the baby? I really want a girl and a boy. H is convinced we will have all boys. I'm convinced we are getting a girl the first go round. Don't know why. Did I also mention I have Jedi skills in telling if someone is preggers? I have been able to tell with about five of my friends within a month to two months (one on the day she found out...which freaked her out).

I love to host people too. I think our next GTG should be aat my place (come with your bullet-proof vest...yeah, Uptown!) Kidding, somewhat.

suzie211 · October 2013

HA! I was at a bar a couple years ago and met a couple Uptown firefighters. They said the best part of being in the hood, was Sunday Uptown TV. I was unfamiliar. Their house likes to open the doors on Sunday evening and put a couple lawn chairs in the driveway. They said its the best entertainment they've seen in years!

Not a bad wife! H hates anything that says cream or casserole. So if I can hide it with cheese or just call it a pasta/potato dish he'll eat it. I give props to MIL, because H and his twin must have had three foods they ate as a kid. She's a saint!

We want healthy kids, and I'll take whatever! Part of me really would like one of each. I would love a girl that I can cover head to toe in pink and watch in toddler dance class. They are so cute. There are more boys on both sides of our families, so we're due for a girl in the mix somewhere.

Preggers ESP is awesome! I've picked up on a boss before. Most likely because I had just spent the night in the hospital with my best friend so she would have help with her daughter. Went to a meeting the next day, and took one look at my boss and knew she was pregnant. Maybe I should just hang out with you, and then I won't have to pee on a lot of little sticks. You can just be my wine police!

minskat30 · October 2013

I will tots be your wine police! We have to have met a few times before I can make any promises though. I think I notice how a friend has shifted with the way she carries herself or something wierd like that. I haven't pinned it down. With one friend (the one I told she was preggers when she found out at a month), I had a dream about her the night before I told her...which was super odd since I'd never dreamed about her. It is odd.

We are about to sit down to eat so I'm going to head out for the evening...have to get up super early tomorrow. It was lovely talking to you @suzie211 and I can't wait to meet you in person!

suzie211 · October 2013

It was great talking to you too! Enjoy you're dinner! Looking forward to meeting you!

This has really helped me over the last 15 months. If you had told me when we started trying that 15 months later we'd not only have no baby but not be pregnant, I would have been SO sad. But at the same time, we've done a lot of things we wouldn't have done if we had gotten pregnant. Try not to be too sad. I know it's easy for other people to say... I'm always here if/when you need to talk about TTC!

suzie211 · October 2013

@cu97tiger You always say the best things! I can only hope I can have the same attitude you have during this process!
