Haven't done one of these in awhile and it's been slow around here lately.
I think the hand-on-the-hip pose that every girl seems to do in group photos is overdone and trendy.
As much as I love my kids and will probably miss them when the time comes, I am daydreaming about them both being in school and having the whole house to myself in peace and quiet.

I may have a long term addiction to inflatable toys...just browsing Amazon for a pool pirate ship and wondering if it will survive the plants in my in-laws' pond...

I just do this because it makes my arm look less flabby. Haha.
I actually do think it's a flattering look. I just get weird about doing what everyone else is doing I guess. It reminds me of when the trend of engagement rings and wedding bands shifted from yellow gold to white gold. Even though I think the rings are gorgeous, I wanted yellow gold because I didn't want to follow the trend.

I'm in the process of trying to sell my car. I made the mistake of reading the murdered thread on parenting and now I am so convinced I'm going to be murdered when I show it next week. I've considered asking my cop neighbour to come along with me and keep me safe but I'm pretty sure he would think I'm crazy. H is staying home with the boys and I'm meeting them halfway since we both live middle of nowhere towns. I've Facebook creeped and Googled them to make sure they don't look scary and that I didn't find any reports of them attempting to murder anyone.

Yeah, I was just agreeing that the parenting thread on murders kept me up a bit too. I take someone with me for larger craigslist transactions but I guess it's always a little risky....

Our local PD has spaces in their parking lot for online exchanges like CL and FB swaps. Maybe yours does too?

Hmm...I don't know. Sometimes people just want you to come to their house or, more often, to a parking lot at a store, and no one has suggested this, but I will check. I am on a freecycle site and all the things are at people's houses...they just leave them outside...but it's a pretty small group for a single suburb so maybe less scary... I've gone to people's side yards to pick up stuff with the kids in the running car...

Omg. I opened that thread and was like nope! I hate true crime.
I am not due to start AF till Thursday, but I have taken about 5 wondfos all with super super faint lines, an FRER, and an EPT with faint lines. Faint enough that you start to second guess yourself, but my husband sees them too, and he is Mr. Skeptical. I almost want to call it, they are all with in the window, but I am just going to wait and see before getting my hopes up. So my confession is that I took 7 pregnancy test at approx. 11 dpo, I have issues.

I need pics!!!
ETA: I got both my BFP's at 11 dpo, so it's definitely possible!

I am up early but the ept showed another maybe I am just seeing things line. They don't photograph well because it is so light so I had to turn down the brightness, but you can see if I am being crazy or not! This morning I am leaning towards crazy the top two are a few faint ones, the bottom is a negative for reference
I just took an FRER haha. Still a line with in the time window, but so faint. I have a bad feeling
TLDR; A few months ago I mixed up my dates in my head and thought I was close to my period, but I was actually I was dead in the middle and started having EWCM that day after the fact. So we didn't use protection. I spotted very light pink 4 or 5 days before I was due and was sure it was IB since it was identical to IB with my 4th. I was on vacation and was going to test when I got home but my period came early. It bummed me out, and my husband. So we started talking, out of curiosity we asked the kids if they would ever want another brother or sister and they were super excited at the idea. We tried that month, last month. That didn't happen. Then we both started to wonder if maybe not. 4 kids can be a lot. As they get older we are getting busier, things like that. They all STTN, potty trained, we are past the stage that makes it harder to do certain thibgs. Still there was this pull. We only dtd what I think would probably be 3 or 4 days before O based on CM, everyone got sore throats and I figured this probably isn't happening this month. We would both be beyond thrilled if it is a yes, and I will be so sad if it is a no. I still don't know if we will TTC next month if it is a no. We are all over the place on this one.
So I am going to take over this thread I feel slightly better about it. Comparing them to yesterday they are a tiny bit darker. I took a wondfo and the line is darker and pinker, not as much a super squinter. The FRER and ept are slightly darker too. I will try to post pictures, but I feel they don't do justice them justice Sorry to take over this thread with all my rambling and POAS addiction.

I see lines! I had a faint positive at 9DPO with #1 and #5, so 11DPO is possible. I totally think you're pregnant
And FWIW, 5 is no different than 4. Honestly, by now you're a pro and this baby stuff is so much more fun with older kids that help out. We a similar situation with this baby - was terrified of "starting over". This was our largest gap between kids and #4 was STTN and getting easier. I wondered if I was crazy for making my life harder again. But once #5 came it all fell into place and the fears faded away. He was meant to be part of our family and my older kids are in LOVE. They won't leave the poor baby alone.
sagen, There are definitely lines there. Congrats! I hope they continue to darken over the next few days. It's funny, even though you've previously talked about being done, something you said a couple years ago made me wonder if someday you might decide it was time for another.
