Work today and it's a cold and rainy fall day. DH is home with V and I'm wishing I could go and curl up on the couch with them!
I think we'll try and go to BRU tonight to test drive double strollers. And DH has split pea soup in the crock pot for us tonight; that will be the perfect dinner for this fall evening.
kartish what double strollers are you thinking? I'm seriously coveting the double city mini. My goal is to find one second hand so I'm not spending an absurd amount.
agm04 ughhh I'm so sorry about CD1. My fingers are crossed for you that this is your cycle. Living your life in two week intervals is frustrating.
lilyelayne holy hot! 95! Phew. I'm sweating just thinking of it lol. I'm super impressed with your yoga-ing though.
All the dinners sound amazing! I made Waikiki meatballs (one of my favorites)! agm04 I'm sorry. I know how it feels to get obsessive real quick when it starts to take a few months. The time it happened with A, I just stopped doing all the ovulation things and stuff and tried to hit it every couple days around O. It was on our 4th cycle (plus post mc) and I was getting crazy. Try not to be like me lol.
The weather by me has been perfect so we went for a walk at night. Go to talking with a neighbor and we got a later start then I wanted. Unfortunately the mosquitoes came out and poor A got bit twice on the face by the time we got back home. I had bug spray but don't usually like to get by her face...hope the bites behave. But the walk was nice and I got my steps I wanted!

agm04 sorry about AF hope this next cycle is the one for you!
dreemkin I spray bug spray on my hands and then pat DS's cheeks. Otherwise he gets bites on the face. I think they also make bug repellant lotion if that would be more appealing?
tortor4 I've heard good things about the city mini but I really prefer to see one and try it out in person before making the purchase. And sadly niether of the places we went tonight had one. There were two we liked, a Graco one but the wheels where too small and another I forget the brands but the seats didn't recline at all, which mage some of the possible positions awkward. But anyway we'll keep looking around.
agm04 sorry about CD1, good thoughts for this next cycle.
The soup turned out good, but V wasn't a fan. Oh well. He still is having tummy troubles and DH and I are getting a bit worried. It's been a week since it started.
Thanks for the support yall. I'm feeling much better today.
tortor4 we have the city select, and i love it. we rarely use it as a double right now (sometimes my sister's 10 month old is a 2nd passenger), but it's an excellent single and i've been happy with it as a double too. i bought our first one on craigslist bc i couldn't stomach the price tag without being sure we'd love it. i paid $350 for the stroller with 2 seats, the bassinet, the glider board, and 2 snack trays. once i knew i loved it, i sold the stroller (2 seats) for $350 and kept all the accessories. bought a new stroller and frame in the color i wanted and had all the accessories for free!
tortor4 i haven't driven a mini, but i can tell you why i wanted the select. the main thing was that i wanted something that could be used as a single but converted easily to a double. we knew we wanted kids close in age, and i didn't want to have to buy multiple strollers. i absolutely love how it can be used in so many different orientations (kids facing each other, you, away from each other, bassinet, car seat adapter, glider board, etc). the basket and sun shades are HUGE and awesome. i also really like the idea of the stadium style double seating (vs. side by side) for crowds. the only negatives i can think of are that it isn't super light (but i can easily manage it by myself), and if you're hopping curbs a lot, it can be hard when both seats are in use. oh and one more thing - both seats are the same/full sized. a lot of stadium style doubles have one seat that's significantly smaller.
edited to add that their customer service is top notch. so friendly and helpful, and they even gave me a rebate on my new stroller purchase.
tortor4 yay glad to help! I am always so overwhelmed by baby gear decisions and love hearing what other people have to say. I finally got the city select when my friend with 3 under 3 said it was her mom security blanket and she never left home without it.
