GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry?

[tiffbot]

Sorry, I know I'm still pretty new here, lol. But I'll keep the threads coming! I see this one didn't get posted last week.


Age of LO(s): 3.75 and 23 months


Month/Cycle: 2/2


CD/DPO: 16/4


RRCS: just chillin in the waiting period


GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry?
I don't have any birthstone stuff or anything from my kids yet. I plan to when we know our family is complete.
I do however, have a gold necklace with a little gold heart that says "mom" on it that my aunts/mom found when they were cleaning out my grandpa's place when he passed away a couple years ago. My grandma passed away a few years earlier. They asked me if I wanted it and I wear it with a lot of love!!

RRCS: I am doing my best to resist the urge to poas. I will try to hold out until the weekend. 2 weekends from now i am going to be going to a bachelorette party in the city and staying in a hotel, I am excited. Good thing is I will either be pregnant or not then, either way I'll have fun. I am nervous that if I am pregnant I won't be able to hide it and I am not the type to tell people at 2.5 seconds pregnant. Anyways fx for babes!



GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry?
I have a foot print necklace that the hubs gave me after the little was born.

RRCS: Temp has dropped, already spotting...on to cycle 9. Grrrrrrr!


GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? H bought me a necklace for Christmas -the year DS was born- that is a big and little heart intertwined. It was very sweet and I cried at the sentiment but am actually not a huge fan of the necklace. Once we're done having kids I'd love to get something will all their birthstones, but I think I'll have to pick it out.

Age of LO(s): 6 and 4



Month/Cycle: 1/1



CD/DPO: 24/maybe 8. I didn't temp this cycle



RRCS: I'm pretty sure I'm out this cycle. I'm looking forward to temping next cycle, so I can have a better grasp at what is happening with my cycle.



GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? I actually don't. I don't really wear much jewelry. I do have a pretty fancy necklace made out of pipe cleaner and beads that my daughter made me when she was younger. i keep it in a memory box with her more memorable school work

I love that!!

My sister sent me a link when DD was born to an artist who takes pictures kids draw when they are young and turns them into stuffed animals and sculptures etc...so that's where I got the idea. A great Etsy shop did it for me.

[sammysam]

charliefox Sorry about the spotting. FX that your next cycle is the one!

Month/Cycle: 1/1

CD/DPO: cd22/ 6dpo

RRCS: we only hit -2, so I'm not hopeful.

GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? I got a necklace with her name and DOB stamped on a disc. I figured I can add to it if we have more. H got me a sapphire necklace (her birthstone) for Christmas.

[dancerness]

Age of LO(s): 17mo



Month/Cycle: 2/2



CD/DPO: 20/7



RRCS: this cycle is almost identical to when I got pregnant with DD. I hate getting my hopes up, but it's really hard not to......Even my chart is almost exactly the same. Fingers crossed!





GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? Nope, not yet

[dancerness]

[westiemom]

Age of LO: Just turned 1!

Month/Cycle: 2/2

CD: 26

RRCS: looks like an annovulatory or super late ovulating month for me. Bummer.

GTKY: I got a pretty diamond ring after DD was born. I'm in love with it!

[frecklesnbrains]

Age of LO: 11 months
Month/cycle: Charting in anticipation of TTC in June
CD/DPO: 26/11
RRCS: my son's approaching first birthday is really freaking me out... I just feel like it's such a milestone and there are things I'm supposed to be doing and things he's supposed to be doing. Someone tell me to chill the f* out.
GTKY: nah, I always like the sound of stuff like this but at the end of the day it's not really my style. I never wear jewelry - just my engagement and wedding rings.

BONUS GTKY QUESTION!!

I was talking to my neighbor yesterday about DDs upcoming birthday and she was telling me that 75% of women have babies within 3 days of the same day number as their birthday. This is not true for me or my mom or MIL, but it is true of the 3 other neighbors I was hanging out with and all of their moms, so I was wondering how everyone here fell.

Example in case you don't know what I'm asking. My birthday is on the 19th, so 75% of women with birthdays on the 19th would have their babies (or due dates) between the 16th and the 22nd. Does this make any sense. I feel like I'm not making sense.

Neither of my kids are within 3 days of mine or DH's birthday day number.


Age of LO(s):
3.5 and 16m

Month/Cycle:
-2/0

CD/DPO:
19/1

RRCS: Just waiting until my June cycle before trying. Currently not on BCP, but TTA more than NTNP. 


GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? DH got me a silver and diamond locket for my first mother's day. I don't wear it much because I'm not big on jewlery and the kids just pull at anything I wear so I tend not to wear much of value.

Nope, I'm 10th and DD is 16th.

 My sister is within 3 days of my mom, but I'm not, and both of her kids are within 3 days of hers. 

[ajetter]

Age of LO(s): 7, 4, 21 months

Month/Cycle: 3/3 (4AL)

CD/DPO: 18 / maybe 1?

RRCS: tried clinical guard OPKs, I've had over 24 hrs of + ones, so now I'm just thrown off. But I don't temp so I guess I can't complain.

GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? I have a tiny tags gold circle pendant with all 3 girls names on it. I love it. Hope I need a new one soon though!

[ajetter]

DD1 has the same number as me, DD2 isn't close to DH or I, DD3 is one number before me.

[pippiann]

@imapenguin this is interesting! MC was born on the 2nd (due the 30th) close but no cigar. If I got pregnant this cycle my due would be the 14th my birthday is the 13th. I have never heard this now I have to ask everyone, lol 😂

[obscurereference]

Age of LO(s): 4, 2, 16 months

Month/Cycle: 10/10

CD/DPO: 26/?

RRCS: I'm in a long cycle i think. I have no idea if I've O'd, but I'm leaning toward no. My OPKs got a bit darker but then lighter again with no positive. I have only O'd this late one other time in 4 years of tracking. Super frustrating. Debating temping next cycle.

GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? Not yet! When our family is complete I would like to get thin birthstone bands for each kid. I also want a new engagement ring to wear with them, maybe for our 10 year in 2020!

@imapenguin That works for me. DS was born on the same day as me, different month!

[scoutradley]

Bonus GTKY: DS2 is within 3 days, DS1 is not. As for my mother, only one of us are within the 3 days (and she had four).

[beachbum]

Age of LO(s): 24 months

Month/Cycle: starting in a few weeks!

CD/DPO: 22/1 (estimated, not temping yet)

RRCS: I am just looking forward to starting soon!

GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry?
I have a necklace with a small circle with an "A" in small rhinestones for my DD ( A name and born in April). I hinted at a cute little Kate Spade necklace with a mom and baby elephant for Mother's Day, so hopefully I'll have more mom jewelry soon.

Bonus: DD is five days from me, but my sister and I are both 3 days from my mom! We have 3, 6 (mom), and 9 of the same month.

Nope! I'm 27 and DD was 20.

[tiffbot]

Bonus GTKY:nope! DS is a 5th, DD a 4th, and I'm an 18th. However H is also a 5th. If I got pregnant this cycle, my EDD would be around Jan 17 so if I was to give birth on a hypothetical not yet confirmed pregnancy and gave birth on the due date, then yes I would have one. Haha.

My mom and sister,brother and I also do not fit this. Although me and my brother are both 18ths.

Not for me (13th), DS is the 18th, but H is the 19th so that works. Also not true for my Mom or Sister and their kids. 

[mrspants]

Age of LO(s): DD is 2.5



Month/Cycle: 15



CD/DPO:24/9



RRCS: I'm not too hopeful for this month. We have an appointment on the 15th if this cycle doesn't work out. Fingers Crossed I can cancel it.



GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? No but I want a small band like my wedding band with each child (if we have more) birthstone. The one for DD would be a custom make job and would be $600+ so that is on hold for a very long time.

Hmm, I'm a scientist so the logician in me says this can't be true, BUT:

My bday is the 25th. DS was born on the 23rd.
My sister's bday is the 8th. My niece was born on the 9th.

That's where it ends though. Everyone else I can think of doesn't fit the pattern. Perhaps logic does win after all.

CD/DPO: 15/-



RRCS: O should be within the next few days so I started OPKs this morning and we shall see. Hopefully it's soon.



GTKY: Do you have any special "mom" jewelry? I have a necklace with a small and larger interlocking hearts and a little green gem that DH got me. DD and I share a birthday and emerald is our birth stone, so hence the 2 hearts.
