5 thoughts on 3 relaxing activity videos with dogs

I figured if I'm allowed to hang with my dog, that I can actually try some new things!
  1. Five Minute Guided Meditation - With your Dog! by Marissa Walch
    1. I actually found some of the breathe counting a bit too long for me so I got uncomfortable
    2. The video says it can help your dog calm down, but I can't vouch for this as my dog is super chill
    3. My dog seem a little confused as to why I made her come out from under the covers, but remained calm
    4. Closing my eyes and breathing deeply at my own pace while petting my dog is relaxing
    5. I think I will do something like this when I am getting stressed out during the day
  2. Stress Relieving Session | Labrador & German Shorthaired Pointer by Zazu Talks
    1. Okay I actually really dislike how the signing bowl sounds in this video
    2. She has the calmest dog in the world (so maybe this works?)
    3. My dog didn't seem to react one way or another to the massage
    4. It was nice to sort of pet my dog with intent as opposed to the half-minded way I often do
    5. I think having a guided massage to do with my dog does help me focus in on her and block some other stuff out
  3. DOG YOGA Class: DOGA by AnimalWised
    1. Is it just my WiFi or is the sound very off?
    2. My dog did really like the massage techniques this video suggested
    3. I did appreciate that the video said to not force your dog to do anything
    4. My dog was fairly confused as to why I was on the floor and she wouldn't lie down with me, but she did sit next to me to stand guard
    5. You know, after finishing this, I do feel a bit more relaxed
(Prompt by me)

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
