Testing plans: maybe this weekend, maybe not. I have some new wondfo tests that someone gave me, so it's not like I'm spending money on tests that are likely to show BFP.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: The other day my mom and I were talking about random stuff and I mentioned that D is on board for homeschooling our future children. Then she flat out asks me if I'm trying to get pregnant. I just said that it's none of her business but she kept asking with a panicked look in her eyes. Then I asked her what answer she wants to hear and she said "That you are going to wait until you are financially secure" . So I told her I could get pregnant now or in 10 years, to which she replied "You'll be too old in 10 years!" and that she doesn't think I'm too young now (I'll be 25 in September). That conversation left me frustrated and shocked that she would ask me that. Nobody in our families has asked us that yet.
How many weeks: About 5
How are you feeling? Normal. Maybe more tired. Allergies are driving me crazy.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? No bump yet.
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? Will be 16 months this week.
How do you feel? See above
Any Milestones this week? He's still refusing to walk. So frustrating because we know he can walk and he just won't.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? It's really hitting me that I'm going to have two kids almost exactly two years apart (assuming everything works out). Caleb was due February 17th and born February 12 and now I'm sure around February 8th (plus or minus a couple days). They could potentially have the same birthday.
I'm not looking forward to telling my in-laws. Dh isn't either. It should be amazing and exciting and they should be supportive but they are so critical of everything. They already question every little thing with Caleb. That he's still rear-facing, that he's still breastfeeding, that we didn't introduce grains until almost a year, etc. It's all stuff that I do because I've done a lot of research and research tells me it is the right thing to do, yet they act like I'm crazy for doing it. Dh and I are taking a break from them. It will be good for him.
Cycle/Month: 1/1 of attempting
CD/DPO: CD 26
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: May test towards the end of the week or next week.
Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts: I've lost count how many times I had to type half of these post acronyms into google. :-(
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 months
How do you feel? Pretty good, just busy with all the summer fun on weekends.
Any Milestones this week? A bunch of little things. I guess the big one is she's letting go of things while she stands. I want to knock her down, STOP GROWING SO FAST! Also she has mastered the dirty looks when she sees she's not eating what we are. I usually feed her off my plate, but I didn't see fajitas going over well yet haha. If looks could kill...

How old is your LO? 5 months
How are you feeling? I had a headache earlier but it's gone now
Any milestones this week? He is trying to grab every thing. He wants to drink from our cups. He grabs for them and gets upset when we are drinking or eating and we don't share it with him.
Rants thoughts pics? Eli has a cold. I feel like a bad mom because we took him to daycare sick. Snooty nose coughing and sneezing. The daycare provider said all the kids had it but I still feel bad about taking him while sick.
Pic is of him chewing on his bacon teether. I posted it on fb but not sure if I have anyone on here as fb friends.
How many weeks: 32 weeks 1 days
How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Still trying to come to terms with the contractions and feeling more uncomfortable in general. I think baby is going through a spurt. My belly has been tight and my skin super itchy! My appetite today has been insatiable and that hasn't happened as of yet so I do believe she's doing some major growing in there
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? 32 week belly pic

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 and 4
How do you feel? Frustrated. The kids have been fighting over EVERYTHING this week! My patience is limited as is thanks to my hormones and this is really testing my limits.
Any Milestones this week? N/A

Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 10 months. My baby is 2 months away from 1! I don't even know what to say.
How do you feel? Great! 2 and a half weeks left of work!!!!!!
Any Milestones this week? Turning 10 months. She's up to 6 teeth. We bought her a push stroller and she took a few steps with it today. She talks to anything she can, real words are on their way.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Not a rant, but a cute story. When O wakes up in the morning, she curls into a ball on her knees and rubs her face into the mattress. When I go in to get her, I crouch down. She'll slowly turn to look at me and as she's turning her head, she gets this giant smile on her face. It's one of my favorite things. This morning, she did her norm, sat up, pointed and touched my nose through the crib slats. It was so adorable. It made today so much more pleasant with a start like that.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 6 months
How do you feel? Pretty good
Any Milestones this week? Not really
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Day 3 of being my sister's nanny. Both babies are great but yesterday was a rough day. Over time this will get easier it's an adjustment.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 6 weeks 3 days
How do you feel? Pretty good. She's been sleeping about an hour or two longer stretches, so I've been able to get some decent sleep. My incision is all healed up and I'm about to get back into working out. Also determined that I'm going back to work next week. My mom is going to watch Aria on Thursdays and Fridays so I can concentrate and work two 10-12 hour days. I think I'll be able to get all my work done in that time.
Any Milestones this week? As mentioned above, she's sleeping longer stretches. She's up to 9 lbs 2 oz. She's starting to really focus in on us and recognizing people. She is smiling much more and starting to make cooing and ah sounds.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? We're fine now, but H and I got into it pretty bad the other night. His parents came to visit unexpectedly and instead of spending time with his dad the first night, he decided to play his video game. His dad isn't in the best of health. While H was playing his game, I had just finished pumping and was about to go to bed when his dad starting coughing and wheezing. I told H to go check on him and he said he couldn't because of his game. I had been running around prior and was exhausted and just wanted to go to bed. H asked if I could go check on his dad and I just looked at him like, "seriously?". He got frustrated and said never mind and he won't ask me for any favors. It snowballed from there and ended with me turning off his xbox. Needless to say, that infuriated him. I know that was super immature and I apologized for it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get some enjoyment out of it.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 months
How do you feel? Fine. Enjoying the nicer weather & being able to take Wren on walks again.
Any Milestones this week? She's standing on her own without holding onto anything for a few seconds at a time, sometimes while holding a toy in her hands. She seems super pleased with herself when she does this, too. We also took her on her 2nd zoo trip this past Sunday. I think she had a good time, even though most of the animals weren't doing much while we were there.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Pirate baby! H insisted on getting her this hat at the zoo this weekend & I almost told him "no". I have to admit that it looks totally adorable on her.
