Thanks for checking in on me. I'm actually doing a bit better today. The pain is a bit better and I have less panic that something is horribly wrong. I started taking Aleve throughout the day yesterday instead of Advil and I think that has helped with the inflammation. So I'm going to hold off on the steroid pack for now and hope things improve, but I"ll definitely be bringing all the meds with me on vacation just in case. It's crazy how painful this has all been.
Other than the first day or so since being in the next toddler room, drops offs have been so great with Jojo. He's smiling and listening to the teacher and waving bye. It's been such a relief that he is transitioning so well. Plus the teacher said he transitioned easier than anyone she's ever had and he is so easy and listens and picks up his toys. It made me so happy.
Oh and I am finishing up my last BC pack this weekend so we will be TTC soon. This makes me equally excited and sad and fucking terrified. Mostly, J is my little dude and bringing another baby in makes me feel bad, one because it will be less attention for J and two because how could anyone be as perfect as J?! (Yes, I know this is how tons of moms feel when preparing for the second. Mom emotions are hard.)
Good luck with TTC! I hope it happens quickly for you. As for the emotions, I definitely felt similar things when deciding whether we would try for a third after the twins. I can tell you without a doubt that Abigail is one of the most awesome things that has ever happened in my life and I had no idea how much I could love her. And it hasn't diminished my love for my older two. Somehow you fall in love all over again.
flippinchica Good luck with TTC! I hope it's surprisingly easy this time around, and I'm glad you feel comfortable enough to share here. I can't imagine that anyone here would be anything but 100% supportive no matter what happens.
zonagirl I'm sorry you have to deal with the sadness of being away from your LO at the same time as you're grieving your family's loss. When do you head back home? Do you think it might help to facetime with A, or would that upset her more? She might enjoy having you sing to her even if you're not there to hold her.
runningmommy519, That is so scary. I'm glad he's okay and I'm crossing my fingers for you that the sleep sack works.
packmomma I'm sorry today has been so rough. When you say statement to the insurance, is it related to the haircut incident? Or have I missed something else?
I just heard THUD and screaming. I run to E's room and he's out of the crib! It doesn't go any lower!
Come sit on my bench and have some wine. The thud is awful! We delayed buying a new bed bc DS hasn't tried climbing out again. We're playing with fire. Are you guys going to transition?
ETA: I've just read and caught up. Sleep sacs work a bit my DS climbed out the first time wearing one. Hopefully they work to keep your DS in bed.

runningmommy519 oh no I'm dreading that. I feel like the day is definitely coming.
ampaints I think I ovulated last weekend so I'm trying to wait till Friday. I'm only tracking cervical mucous for now since I'm trying to be breezy so I don't know exactly.

I think if the sleep sack doesn't work we'll have to. I am playing with fire too because he tried a few weeks ago and would have gotten out if I wasn't there to stop him.
E climbed out of the crib around 15 months and we've been delaying making any changes too. We have an older crib so we can't just put the mattress on the floor. He only tends to do it when he is upset/teething. Otherwise, he is pretty content to stay in and hang out. There have been a few nights when I stand outside the door until he falls asleep and when I see him start to put his leg up/over, I pop my head in and sternly say "lay back down. it is night-night time." I just don't think he is ready to be free in his room. I also don't really want to switch to a pack n play for a potentially long time. He won't wear a sleep sack. So I guess we're just playing with fire like some of the others of you!
flippinchica, @mrspanpan count me in with you guys TTC! We got pregnant after my first PP period last August but lost the pregnancy in October. I think I mentioned the pregnancy but I might not have come back to tell about the miscarriage. We've been trying since but my cycle has been all wacky with a really short LP (ovulating on day 20-21 and then having a 29 or 30 day cycle). I went on B vitamins a couple of weeks ago and amazingly just ovulated today (day 15) so I am hopeful for this cycle. I'm trying to be relaxed about it but it is still stressing me out.

Thanks guys! I have an awesome support system IRL and also relied heavily on another "forum family" (my beloved running forum) at that time. I know a lot of you guys have BTDT also and know the heartache firsthand.
GL to the others on the TTC journey with me. It is still exciting to read all the new preggo announcements here!
