15 ways to take advantage of a warm spell in February

Just some ideas!

  1. Go on a hunt for flowers peaking through snow and take pics (or other plants pushing through)
  2. Wear out-of-season clothes (I'm wearing an ocean-themed dress today)
  3. Take a walk by the lake (or somewhere else that was especially cold on frigid days)
  4. Put on rain boots and stomp in the mud (be a little kid again!)
  5. Get out on the water if you can (canoe, kayak, sail, although, probably not swim)
  6. Shop for spring plants (spring is a-comin')
  7. Stage a photoshoot (you can wear fun clothes, the sun is out later, etc.)
  8. Walk to a store or place that you haven't gone to lately because of the distance (I have one of these at least)
  9. Sit outside for a spell (depending on how warm it is, this may be a short spell, but get that vitamin D)
  10. Plan a spring trip (better weather puts me in a better mood and allows me to do things like this)
  11. Look for a four-leaf clover (for good luck!)
  12. Start to plan spring cleaning (tis almost spring!)
  13. Do something to shake off cobwebs--both literally and figuratively (dust, do a dance, etc.)
  14. Look up a light, spring dish (you can make it just around the corner)
  15. Write your own list of how to take advantage of the day (and share it!)

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...
