    Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 year 3 weeks old

    How do you feel? good, the baby has a cough and i feel bad for her bc i took her to the dr and they cant do anything for her bc she doesn't have a fever, so its the humidifier and vicks forever

    Any Milestones this week? her new favorite word is Hi, she has started saying baby and/or bubby but thats bc i call her that, she has been scaling the furniture more, no walking yet, but im not in a rush

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics?if we are FB friends i posted pics from our week at the beach

    non TTC rant- i had posted i officially got my job back and I get to stay at the high school, im just a little annoyed they are moving me to a different house (my high school is divided by houses, each house has a different part of the alphabet with its own clerical, dean, attendance person, 2 counselors who split the alphabet) so the kids Ive been with for the last year and a half and know like the back of my hand I have to leave them and start over with a new group of kids and everyone keeps saying at least you have your job back and your at the HS where you wanted to be! Yes i get that and i am very grateful for all of the above, but im sad bc I am attached to those kids and i worked really hard to get some of them to where they are, and some of them i've had since middle school from when i first worked in the district! And their reason for moving me is stupid, I am housed with the dept chair and they feel that putting the new leave replacement in with her would be beneficial, but where they are moving me to, the counselor in that House has been there for 8 years and according to them is a superstar plus the dept chair doesnt have the time to teach a newbie how to do stuff....ugh anyway rant over, thanks if you read this!

    So I thought I was pregnant for the past few days.  Fertility friend gave me crosshairs 19 days ago, but we missed my ovulation date by 7 days (because we were lazily avoiding) so I didn't think anything of it.  But then I had elevated temps for 16 days, so I tested 15 & 16 dpo---BFN.  I have a 12ish day luteal phase usually so obviously I was late, but the test was negative so I just thought AF was wonky and would come in a few days.  Well cue to yesterday (18 DPO), and I still hadn't started, so I bought a test to take when DH got home.  I stayed home from work bc I was so nauseous and sick to my stomach, headache, the works.  I know most people test accurately before 16 DPO but FF seemed sure of my ovulation date and maybe I would just be one of those weird cases where an hpt takes a long time to read.  So all day I prepared myself (aka got my hopes up) for taking a test when DH got home.  I had myself convinced.  I looked at names, nursery stuff, and even put belly & bust anti stretch mark cream in a shopping basket on Sephora's website (well!).  DH came home and it was a BFN.  We weren't really trying but I was still so disappointed, and I think he was too.  It was just such a bummer.  

    Then this am my temp dropped, still no AF, and FF took my crosshairs away.  So I'm kind of annoyed/down in the dumps.  On the bright side, this whole thing has us thinking we might want to TTC for real earlier than next spring, when we were going to start trying.  

    (If any chart stalkers want to check mine out, I'll PM you.)

    ETA: I know I'm being a huge baby.

  • @goatlady12‌ I've been praying for your sister and will continue to! I'm prying this is her rainbow baby.

    @ramstein1027‌ I don't think your being a baby at all. I had a similar pregnancy scare (though it would have been very wanted) back in May last year and had very similar feelings. That is what made us decide to TTC for real.

  • @goatlady12 yay for the so far sticky baby!! I hope it continues to be so :) 

    @ramstein1027 while I will miss having an additional TTCer next year, I understand completely!! If H were ready and we had the money, I'd be all about it right now. I would love a sweet little one, but it's best to wait until next year. Hopefully you either get AF or a BFP soon. 

    @WillyH19 I love that diaper! Is it cloth?

    @WillyH19‌ love the diaper!!! I love everything mustache!

    Mommies:
    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 2 weeks 1 day!!!

    How do you feel? Pretty good. Knee swelling almost completely gone, going up and down stairs is much easier now! Picked up a baby carrier so it's easier for me to get around house with him :-)

    Any Milestones this week? Still basically just eats, sleeps, & poops!

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Super emotional this week! I basically cried all morning yesterday BC H went back to work and I kept thinking I have to eventually go back. I was also sad he is already 2 weeks! Luckily today is a better day :-) lol

    Here's a dose of cuteness overload for those not on my Facebook
  • @WillyH19 I love it!

    @ramstein1027 I was in a similar position.  I was on the pill and didn't get my period.  I took a number of tests and even went to the doctor.  I was crushed when he confirmed I wasn't pregnant, even though I was totally freaking out that I was leading up to the appointment.  I had to have a baby and H and I decided to move up TTC.  We were planning to start last summer, but we weren't preventing, trying to learn temping and my cycle.  I got pregnant the next cycle, but it ended in the MC.  I don't know if it came across here, but I was quite obsessed with getting pregnant after that. 
  • @sjs1013 I read an article that said pregnancy pheromones actually cause men's hearing to heighten in the third trimester and after birth.  You should ask him if he is noticing that he can hear better.
  • I'll probably be telling my work tomorrow or Thursday because the two women who annoy me the most won't be in. 
    ^^ LOL that is so something I would do!

    So happy to hear things are still going smoothly for you :)

  • @goatlady12 I asked H if he felt his hearing has improved and he said thinks it's same.  I think you might be right though.

    @islandmonkey8 I did the same thing at work.  I announced when a few people I'm not too fond of hadn't come to the staff meeting yet.
  • Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 weeks on Thursday.

    How do you feel? I felt like we were just coming out of the new born stage fog and now we're smack dab in the middle of a growth spurt. It's brutal.

    Any Milestones this week? D is starting to smile a lot more and he'll occasionally roll over during tummy time. But mostly he just sleeps during tummy time since he loves being on his stomach.

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I cannot wait for my vagina to not be such a hot mess. The doctors think I've had a yeast infection essentially since DS was born, because of the lochia it went undetected. And I also have my period. FML.

    I got my period at 8 weeks postpartum and I was PISSED! Even though I'm EBF, I guess it's because he started STTN at 7 weeks. I hope your infection goes away soon. It won't always feel like a hot mess (well, I certainly hope it doesn't!)

  • @magpie87: how is a 3D ultrasound done?  My husband said he wants one when I'm eventually pregnant but I thought they might be invasive.
    Daisypath Anniversary tickersimage
  • @christinafromflanders‌ It was very similar to a regular ultrasound but they had extra controls on their control board to make the image into the 3D/4D images. I'm sorry that I can't be more helpful with this, but I really didn't pay attention to what she was doing. :)

  • @magpie87: that's all I really wanted to know!  I thought maybe it was a taken using a wand inserted vaginally.  

    I guess I'll play the TTC check in game this week!

    Cycle/Month: 6

    CD/DPO: CD 18/ no idea how many DPO

    W2O or 2WW? I'd guess 2WW, but I could be W2O still

    Testing plans: n/a

    Chart stalks/rants/Thoughts:  Since last month's cycle was a frustrating (AF was a full 2 weeks late, so clearly I O'd later than expected) I decided to stop thinking about TTC as much.  But it's hard when one of my friends is due any day and I see a lot of pregnant/new moms at work.

  • Can I do a two-fer since we have the kids here in MD?

    Pregnant Girls:


    How many weeks: 33 weeks

    How are you feeling? pretty good.  Just annoying tracking my blood sugar 4 times a day, but it keeps me on track.

    Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? See below

    Mommies:

    How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8 and 9

    How do you feel? Mentally drained.  Lilly is in his miss attitude stage.  You can ask her to do something and she will straight up ignore you.  If you ask her again, raising your voice, she cries and it's the most over dramatic thing ever.  "Lilly, stop eating the tomatoes you'll give yourself a belly ache" "YOU DON'T WANT ME TO EAT EVER AGAIN!!!",  Um, no, I just don't want you puking tomatoes...

    Any Milestones this week?  They are getting so big and making their own choices.  I love when they talk about the baby.  Lilly gives me water in case the baby is thirsty and Ryan will ask about where baby Eliza will sleep, etc.  It's so cute.

    Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Even got some goat pictures for @goatlady12
