What's Up Wednesday

It is time for another What's Up Wednesday since the month is ending.  I can't believe it is only a few days until December.  I took down my Thanksgiving decorations yesterday but haven't fully put up all my Christmas decorations yet.


What we're eating this week:  We hosted Thanksgiving dinner at our house so we had lots of leftovers to get us through the week. We used the bones to make some turkey stock so next week we even have turkey soup to eat for lunch.

What I'm reminiscing about: I went to Disneyland the first weekend that the Christmas decorations were up and had a fantastic time but now my annual pass is expired and I keep seeing other people's photos of all the fun holiday festivities at Disneyland which makes me wish I was going again this season. 

What I'm loving: I am loving that it is time to decorate for Christmas. I love Christmas so I have no shortage of decorations for our house.  We got a tree yesterday but it rained on us while we were driving home so I am giving it a day to dry out before I bring it inside and start decorating it. Cheers to decorating and a picture of last years tree.








What we've been up to: Yesterday I helped throw a baby shower at work and it turned out wonderfully.  Hopefully the next shower at work is for me!

What I'm dreading: My husband and I started IVF a couple of months ago and have done two rounds so far. We are doing three rounds of egg harvesting before we move on to implantation so I have 1 more round to go.   I have my last harvest procedure tomorrow so while I am glad to be done with shots for the next few weeks I am still dreading the recovery and waiting that come with each harvest cycle.








What I'm working on: Working on getting my list together of who I need to buy Christmas presents for and figure out what I want to buy for them.  Some people are easier than others but we do a Secret Santa with my husband's family so that makes it a little easier.

What I'm excited about: While I am dreading the parts of the IVF process I am really excited about hopefully adding a new member to our family some time next year.  Fingers crossed.

What I'm watching/reading: I have been watching the newest season of the Great British Bake Off on Netflix but am almost done so I am going to have to find something else to watch.

What I'm listening to: Mostly whatever comes on my Pandora which is usually a mix of country and a random mix of 90s-00s pop music.  Everyone needs some Britney in their life every once in a while. I am sure over the next month I will be listening to a ton of Christmas music too.


What I'm wearing: In all reality at this point in my IVF cycle I am wearing whatever fits me and is comfortable which is mostly very flowy dresses or my husband's pajama pants.  I wore a very comfortable swing dress and my mustard cardigan for Thanksgiving dinner. I like this dress so much that I actually also own it in navy blue too.

What I'm doing this weekend: Not a whole lot probably.  I am having my last harvest procedure Thursday so I will be mostly resting and recovering at home this weekend.  I plan to finish decorating my house for Christmas and maybe do a bit of Christmas shopping at the Nordstrom Customer Rewards Night if I feel well enough by Sunday evening.

Happy Wednesday!
