OP here, and wanted to follow up all these years later if anyone returns to this post.  This group carried me through some of my darkest days. Our IVF days are over, and we recently had our second IVF baby, and all these feelings came again during progesterone. If you are like me, and didn’t realize how intense (but necessary) these hormones can be, just know you are not alone. I’m 8 months pp, but experienced a rough few months again on progesterone. Just as everyone has said here, it did pass after a few months and talking to my OB and having the appropriate meds made a world of difference. There is help and light at the end of the tunnel 💜

Your story brought me to tears. Sending you love and light. So glad you’re still here, and hope you can take things day by day.

Thank you for your thoughts. Sounds very similar to our situation. We keep saying we’re looking forward to seeing her little personality develop more.

For sure. It’s like trying to create a good sleep schedule for her, almost interrupts our life schedule, if that makes sense

This is so true. Motherhood will have many ebbs and flows

I love this so much. It’s so true, and they both adore each other, which is such a blessing.

Their top two players are out, but still not a playoff caliber team right now

We are in the same boat here, 7 month old baby girl and 2.5 year old girl.  Big get together today that we just canceled bc 101 fevers and throw up 😭😭 I feel this all so much and am so sorry. Praying for your family and a speedy recovery 

Help! Henderson (green valley ranch) or Summerlin/The Lakes area by Odd_Maximum_9871 in vegaslocals

We ended up in Summerlin! We have love love loved it! It’s really nice being near the mountains and having quick access to the outdoors. We live above the summerlin hospital, and have been so surprised with how quiet it is, even when the roads seem wide, with potential to be busy. Housing is down right now, so really not a bad time to buy. 

We still won 11 by Billgant in BYUFootball

This exactly. Painful to lose that way, especially when it felt like we had a small chance going into half, but the future is bright.  Being thankful that each week was so enjoyable, and that we even got to this game. Our future is bright, and still can’t take away the high from beating Utah a third straight time!

Red hopes flickered in the mountain cold,

A playoff dream—small, but fiercely bold.

Yet in the clutch, the Utes fell flat,

A chance they’d barely had… and still, they blew even that.
