Re: TTC Tuesday
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 7 months and one week.
How do you feel? I'm so over dealing with school. It's bs from one day to the next. And my placement is brutal.
Any Milestones this week? DS is crawling like no tomorrow.

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 4 months
How do you feel? Jeff offered to take the first night feeding if it was before he went to work. E has been sleeping ever since. Sleep! Glorious sleep!
Any Milestones this week? We started sweet potatoes Saturday. She loves them! I did this without pressure from my mom. I was freezing some and thought "let's just see how it goes". She opens for the spoon and smiles when it goes in.

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8.5 months
How do you feel? So tired, I think he is getting another tooth and all he wants to do is nurse all night.
Any Milestones this week? Nothing new.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I wanted to murder H this morning. J woke up at 3 after just being up at 1:30 to nurse. I told him he needed to go in there and get him, because if I went in, he was going to want to nurse again. He went in there, got him back to sleep, but had to repeat the process 3 times. (it is sometimes very difficult to get him back down in his crib without him waking) He then proceeds to tell me how tired he is this morning. Because he was up with him once. Like the first time he has been up with him in weeks.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 6 weeks
How do you feel? Great, just had my 6 week pp check up. Everything is good.
Any Milestones this week? He is reaching for things. He's also been smiling a lot.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? My phone won't let me attach a photo.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 1 month (4 weeks 5 days)
How do you feel? I'm feeling fine.
Any Milestones this week? He turned 1 month old. He is giving more smiles and slept in his crib for 3 1/2 hours and went right back to sleep two more times for the same amount of time.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? 1 month Pic
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 5 months, 2 weeks.
How do you feel? Great! I had a wonderful 3 day weekend with O.
Any Milestones this week? She slept in the crib last night, finally!!!! At our 5 month check up, the doctor gave us some tips. We followed them and it worked. Hoping for another great night tonight. She has been sleeping through the night for about 2 months, without any wake ups. It was rough when she woke up from 4-5, but when she went back to sleep, she slept in the crib.
O is more mobile too. She is rolling everywhere and rolls to get to things she wants. Crawling might be around the corner.
@WillyH19 I know how you feel. My H used to sleep through MOTN feedings, then complain that he was tired in the morning. He wasn't helping with the crib transition either. I would start and he would say he'd help, then be like good night and roll over, so I would give up. The doctor told him last week that he needs to get her back to sleep because she looks at me for a meal. He started to help after that.

How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 16 weeks yesterday
How do you feel? Tired, but otherwise okay.
Any Milestones this week? She can now roll from her belly to her back! Also, she definitely has her 2 front bottom teeth hovering under her bottom gum. You can see the 2 lumps if you look at the back of her gum...I'm not prepared for teething yet... Hopefully they don't try to pop through for a while yet.
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? Can't upload pics right now
Cycle/Month: 3/2AL
CD/DPO: CD8
W2O or 2WW? W2O
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 18 months +
How do you feel? good, tired, like a single mom bc H is always stuck at work:(
Any Milestones this week? nothing to report
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? nothing
How many weeks: 25w3d
How are you feeling? Good but it's getting harder to move around. The middle of the night trips to the bathroom are challenging and uncomfortable to get out of bed.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I'm almost in the double digits for my countdown!! Crazy! We were able to work on the crib some more earlier this week since the weather was nice, but now it's raining and cold, so we'll have to wait until Sunday to do anymore work. I am determined to get it done this weekend! It's looking really good so far and I want to show it off to you guys.

W2O or 2WW? W2O
Testing plans:starting OPKs next week.
Rants/thoughts: I've started acupuncture to try to help with my lining and my stress.
DH opened up that he is open to going through with treatment sooner. We aren't going to this cycle, but I'm not sure if that means next cycle. I'm nervous about the crazy cost and jumping into pumping my body full of drugs, but it will be so worth it if it works. I think I need this cycle to mentally prepare, especially since it will be an intense monitoring schedule with the injects. I guess I waver on whether I am being too impatient. Shit is about to get real, I guess!
How many weeks: 13 weeks 1 day
How are you feeling? Pregnancy wise I'm feeling better. Nausea has seemingly gone but I am still quite tired and have dizzy spells from low blood preassure. I've also just started to come down with something so a day of rest is in need!
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? I've been able to feel flutters now for the past couple of weeks which continue to become stronger! We also had our NT scan and everything looks great
Mommies:
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 20m and 3 1/2
How do you feel? Pretty good
Any Milestones this week? Continued increase in independence for my son and my daughter has continued to flourish with her words
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I have posted our 12w 4d ultrasound, our announcement, and my 12w 5d bump!
CD/DPO: CD 19 and 5 days DPO I thiiiink?
W2O or 2WW? 2WW
Testing plans: Not gonna POAS unless AF is late. I suspect I ovulated later than my app predicted me to, so I don't really have my hopes up for anything. Just more data to HOPEFULLY get a more accurate assessment of my cycle.
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 8.5 months
How do you feel? Freaking exhausted!
Any Milestones this week? Another tooth! His top lateral incisor (he still hasn't gotten his central incisors, so he looks like a vampire
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? My poor baby is having such a rough time. We were at the pediatrician on Sunday because he has had a rash on his back for almost two weeks. It was isolated to his back and I thought it might have been the new laundry soap we were using. Well, it started spreading to his chest and neck on Saturday, so we decided to bring him in on Monday. It's eczema. So, now we have a treatment plan. He also has been teething so has been super clingy and not sleeping well. Well, on Saturday, he also started with some intestinal upset which has us changing diapers all the time. Plus, he has a cough and runny nose. My poor baby is miserable. And, we aren't sleeping much. I think the last two nights combined, we have gotten 5 hours of sleep. I hope he starts feeling better soon!
How old are your LOs (Little Ones)? 17 weeks (4 months on Friday...what?!?!)
How do you feel? Pretty good. Wish that this whole "driving-to-work-in-the-snow/with-crappy-roads" wasn't necessary, though.
Any Milestones this week? She's so very close to being able to roll from back to belly. If she could just get her silly arm out of the way, haha!
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? She has her 4 month check-up next Monday! I'm excited to see how much she's grown/gained in the past 2 months! We weigh her on our home scale, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Also, her 4 month shots are next Thursday (eek!). I've requested next Friday off so I can keep an eye on her. Also, we might have lunch with my Mom or something for her birthday

How do you feel? sick, got another cold.
Any Milestones this week? Just pushing tummy time to get her to roll, she refuses. She will lift herself to sitting if she's on an incline. She also will take the spoon and fed herself (or rub it in her hair).
Rants/Thoughts/Baby pics? I hate the other pedi at the practice. She told me I was putting my kid at risk for SIDS because she sleeps in her own room before 6 months. Then she couldn't figure out the dry patch on her head. Me - Other doc said it's cradle cap, Her - no it's eczema, no flea bites, no her hats are too tight, 30 mins later - oh wait it's cradle cap. Also, she wasn't happy we started solids, said it leads to obsesity and diabetes - what now?! I went by what E was able to do - assisted sitting, doubled birth weight, interest in food, etc. Which is exactly that the paper she gave me said. The SIDS thing really really bothered me. Then it was 20 questions with my bfing. How often do I pump, how much, do I drink coffee, alcohol? Did I start my period yet?
I think I'm switching our appts back to the other doctor and just use my leave to see him. I'm off every other Friday, and so is he...
How many weeks: 26w3d
How are you feeling? Better today. I've been having a lot of back and hip pain lately. This weekend was terrible! I could barely walk because my hip felt like it was going to crack every time I took a step. I took Monday off to rest and I've been taking it really easy the last few days, which seems to have helped a lot.
Rants/Thoughts/Bump pics? Bump pic below. I vented about the shower situation in a separate post so I'll update there for that.
