I have not been through the 2ww but i am sure it is hard! Hopefully work will make the day go by fast.
I am sure I will spend my 2ww in the kitchen cooking. Its something I do when I have too much on the mind. I make dinners to freeze and cupcakes to eat

I've made a vision board, it hangs on the wall of what will one day hopefully be the nursery, I go in and look at it everyday. I also cleaned out the room so it is " ready" and it is clear there is lots of room in our life for baby. It made me feel better to clear it out and make it ready

Oh, do I ever know about "online shopping" for future baby. I'm pretty sure I have all the baby gear, and nursery picked out.. just waiting to be able to buy it all.. I feel like such a freak most of the time for spending hours online browsing babies r us.. ugh.
Hope you're finding something to pass the time with Jo!

Good Luck at work Jo! I hope the day passes quickly for you!
I have been doing the online "shopping" for baby too! I too am guilty of having the whole nursery picked and the all the gadgets I want. nothing purchased yet but I keep thinking soon I will get too i also keep thinking about furniture placement in the room and stuff like that. At least this stuff keeps me hopeful!
I also love to crochet so I have been finding baby and kid patterens i want to try.

OR your headache could be attributed to the ridiculous shifting of barometric pressure, I can't shake a headache today either, or it's the rush of HCG flowing through you! I like that option much better, you? Hang in there girl!

Ladies, I also had a headache yesterday- i think it was the weather outside!!!
I started walking on the treadmill, instead of a real workout. I want to exercise but i also don't feel like it. If you know what i mean. I am waiting for my AF so that I can do an FET next cycle. I just want the time to come. Keeping busy is the best way to make the time pass.
Work will be good for you- even if you don't want to be there, atleast it puts you on a schedule.
How many days did you lay low after your transfer?
