Happy conception anniversary kleigh! Our egg transfer is a year from tomorrow. Our little guy was getting ready to be thawed and I was getting butt shots every night. Fun fun!
We've talked about a second. I kind of want to try naturally for a few months before we do another transfer but H doesn't want to do that. I think he's already attached to our embryos. Did I tell you guys that we accidentally found out the sex of the remaining two? It makes it harder to not use them knowing what they are.

I have no idea what we're doing for dinner. We have salmon thawed but that never sounds good to me. I took C to visit my mom and we came to visit my grandma. They're making food so I'll probably have an early dinner here and see what H wants to do later.

All the wine kleigh!! I didn't know that that IUI was going to be your last shot and reading that gives me ALL the feels. I don't have the words to tell you how happy I am that it worked out.
goldenlove3 for some reason in my head I thought that C was the only boy and the other two are girls? Did I make that up? I'm giving myself the squinty eyes. I love salmon but can never make it at home. It's always ok, but I'd rather just eat all fish out.

You guys!!! Lilah rolled back to front today! It's really hard for her, but she's done it twice. I have a both ways rolling baby! I'm so proud of her.
I've actually been meaning to pick up some Dollar Tree tests. It's incredibly unlikely, but as long as we are dtd and I don't have periods I feel like I should test each month to be sure. Eta: I don't think I'd be very happy to be pregnant again. I've had a few dreams where I was and I'd describe them as nightmare like. Right now I feel done and even if we end up wanting another, I need time to recover and have my body back to myself. Lillian was still nursing when I got pregnant so I've been pregnant or nursing for 3 years straight.

I feel less weird and better about my state of mind re: TTCA. And super glad that this is a normal subject to be thinking about and discussing at this stage of parenting.
I'll admit to y'all (I didn't bring this up to H yet) that it's not all M being difficult. She is a tenacious little beast, but I kind of love that about her. And when she's mellow, man does she melt my heart into a puddle. I imagine all the fun we'll have as she gets older. Mommy daughter dates, vacations, etc. I'm not getting the baby fever yet because I'm too excited to see what she's going to grow into and who she's going to become. I know that's completely normal, I just didn't realize how strong these feelings would be.

goldenlove3 I was going to ask when your transfer-sary is!! Happy transfer day tomorrow!!! I didn't know you knew the other sex of the remaining embryos!!! Are you going to tell us !! I'm obviously very excited, would you pick the sex if you transfer those embryos? And/or would you transfer both?

Oh yeah. That is a difficult feeling because it doesn't go away. I cried driving to the hospital the day before my induction because it was my last day with just Lillian. I'm not sure of it would have been easier if we had had a boy instead of another girl. The month I got pregnant with Lilah, I was deep in the feeling of wanting it to just be me and Lillian against the world forever. I was really excited to be pregnant again and we were trying, but I'll be honest, I had a flicker of doubt and sadness. Now of course I love them both and understand better about adding, not dividing. But those feelings are normal. I still try to have time with each of them alone every day and once they're older I'll have separate Lillian and Lilah mommy/daughter dates.
Re rolling: no. Mine is just way ahead. 4 months is average for one way rolling.

H and I got a free month subscription to Amazon Fresh. The meat was pricey, but everything else was fantastic. We got some of the nicest produce I've seen in awhile.
It was extremely exciting because we were able to get exactly what we needed without the temptation to pick up snacks. I'm less excited now and ready to eat my arm.

sophiegrace Yeah, H would have wanted to keep going and even move on to IVF if it didn't work but for me, mentally I was done and have this letter to myself somewhere (I should find that) about the end of the road. Oddly enough, I *knew* that cycle was going to work but it's almost as if I knew it was the last cycle trying because it really was going to be the last cycle I would have to try.

Omg dashook POAS?!!? How can you wait til Thursday? I was all ready to dtd again, but now im freaked out. I am not ready for a 3rd yet. I do still want a 3rd (and vague comments from H tells me he might too) but not until a minimum of 2 yr age gap. Ideally 2.5. And I won't bring it up for a while though because I don't want to pressure H.
And no worries sophiegrace, only yesterday did E roll belly to back for the first time.
goldenlove3 I can see how knowing the sexes would make one way more attached to them.
Uhhh my kid has rolled belly to back once and I'm convinced it was an accident.
Please tell me she's not ridiculously behind.
Hahaha most definitely not. Her baby is super early.
Eta and while I can't wait for rolling (he sleeps so much better on his tummy so nap time sucks right now) trust me once they start moving there is no going back .

kleigh, sophiegrace is right! We have two girls left. I don't think we'll be transferring both at the same time. Since they are tested genetically normal, it's an 80% success rate. I can't imagine having twins haha!

I am about to head out for a haircut. I am so pumped. I am definitely going to warn the stylist of my pp hair loss. I hope she has had kids or else I'm going to feel weird. I know as a hair stylist she probably encounters this all the time, but it still grosses me out.

This is 100% true. I'm proud of her and all, but I'm not excited at the prospect of her crawling and walking early. The longer they can be set places and have them stay there the better. Lillian started to crawl at 5 months and was walking at 9.5 and it was...exhausting. I'd be ok if Lilah decides to slow down a bit.

ClassyMrsA wow, go Lilah!! D can roll belly to back but shows no interest yet in going the other way. hangry I'm only waiting til Thursday because that's when Amazon will deliver my wondfos. I'm too cheap to spend on anything else in the meantime lol
FTR, we are waiting to TTC again until spring/summer 2018 (when D is 18 months), and in the meantime will pull and pray until I have a cycle and can chart again, then once I do, I'll chart to avoid. This plan is loosely based on my desire to go back to work this April and be there for a solid 2 years before going on leave again. Kind of a show of good faith for how nice they were to hire me at 6 months pregnant and let me take an extended leave.
Give me all the babies! Too bad MH doesn't want all the babies. I'm hoping for one more and hopefully MH will agree at some point.
Samsies. I originally only wanted 2 but I just envision another one and I feel in my heart J is a middle child. It's weird and I can't really explain it. My DH is not on board though so this probably will never happen.
I've always wanted a big family. I don't know if it's because I'm an only child and have a small family overall, but I would totally have like 6 kids if money weren't an issue. MH has always said 2-3 kids and said absolutely no way to 4.
Last weekend I went to my friend's house and they have 3 girls (ages 7-2.5) and our other friends were there with their 6 month old baby. I loved the chaos of it all.
Can someone talk to me about overnight oats? I enjoy oatmeal and make it every once in a while but I've never tried overnight oats. I imagine it to be mushy, soggy, cold oatmeal and it turns me off. Any good recipes? The fact that it's a healthy filling breakfast and a time saver makes me want to give it a try.
It's basically mushy, cold oatmeal. If that sounds gross to you, you probably won't love them. I'm not really a fan myself. I prefer hot oatmeal all the way.
You could try a baked oatmeal maybe? It can be made ahead and it's portable too.
Hahaha most definitely not. Her baby is super early.

DS1 was walking at 10 months. Exhausting is definitely accurate!

So my friend at work just texted me. Two people on our team quit today. One is also on maternity leave and was supposed to return on the 27th, the other had her baby last June but decided to be a SAHM, she at least put on her two week notice. So it looks like I'll be returning to a shit show next Wednesday.

goldenlove3 how exciting! Did you know you had a boy beforehand as well? How did you choose to transfer the boy first?
I hope I'm not being insensitive to this subject at all. I am genuinely curious!
Not insensitive at all!
Actually we didn't want to know the sex right away. They asked at the transfer and we said no because we wanted to make sure it worked and that things were going OK first. They must have taken that no very seriously because when we finally asked about the sex at 7 weeks, they couldn't find the file. But apparently they didn't hide the full report because I heard the nurse say something about "2 female embryos frozen". H and I wondered if we had only made females so it was very exciting when they called us later and told us it was a boy!

That really sucks. Hopefully it's not as bad as you're expecting.
kleigh, sophiegrace is right! We have two girls left. I don't think we'll be transferring both at the same time. Since they are tested genetically normal, it's an 80% success rate. I can't imagine having twins haha!
or triplets if one splits!!! (know two people this happened to)
Cold oatmeal does not sound appealing at all. I've heard of 'overnight oats' but I figured it was still heated at some point. Odd.
C has rolled a couple times but I think it was accidental. B took forever to roll, he was so unmotivated. He crawled on time and walked a bit early, so who knows.
DH is installing master bathroom faucet #2 and water isn't spraying everywhere so that's good. He's supposed to be grilling pork chops tonight but that doesn't sound appealing to me at all, so I'm kind of hoping this'll take a while and he'll be like, "To heck with it, let's get pizza".
I bought Bradley some "new cool running shoes" (his words--Nikes) today. He's been noticing older boys at the playground wearing them and started asking about them. He was SO excited when I presented the box to him after school. They are pretty cute--navy with gray/white/lime trim...basically the least visually offensive color/style I could find, haha. He is under strict orders to NOT lose one in the yard.
I take that back, water is now coming out of somewhere it's not supposed to come out of. And the giant wrench he bought is not big enough. Language is getting salty.
