Hi everyone! Can I go here? We're not TFAS until September, but I'm charting information.

Age of LO: DD is almost 23 months. She'll be 2 in July.

Cycle/Month: 2 (since deciding to TFAS)

CD/CPO: 8, waiting to O

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I didn't get to temp today. DD is sick. I'm not sure what she has. She was running a fever all day yesterday with the highest being 103.5. I woke up at 3 am feeling sick right before she woke up. We never went back to sleep.

GTKY (funny kid story): I'm blanking on these with the lack of sleep. One thing I remember is DD sitting on the potty with her toy laptop because she saw daddy do it.

Me: See that big building back there? That's where Uncle J and Aunt D are going to get married.
DD: Disgusting
Me: Why is that disgusting?
DD: Because weddings are disgusting.
Me: Why?
DD: Because they always kiss! Disgusting! I don't want to go to a disgusting wedding.
Me: Well you can eat cake and wear a pretty dress.
DD: Pretty dresses are itchy. And icing is disgusting.
Me: Will you please stop saying disgusting?
DD: Well weddings are still icky.

I would like to join if that's ok, even though we don't plan on starting to TFAS until next month.

Age of LO(s): DD will be 17 months on Sunday

Cycle/Month: Starting next month

CD/DPO: CD17, I believe I O'd late last week based on CM

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks: I just signed on to FF this morning for the first time in 2 years. I have my new thermometer (I hated my old one) and OPKs on order from Amazon. Temping will be a challenge for me because I am a frequent night-waker but I will be as diligent as I can be.

GTKY: Tell us a funny story about your kid(s) or something funny they've said! Last night DD pulled a big fuzzy blanket from the couch on to the floor, then proceeded to gather up approximately 10 toys one-by-one, cradle each one and say "nigh nigh baby" and throw it on the blanket. It only stopped when she tried to pick up one of the cats and he ran away from DD which made her cry.

[penguin129]

sleepymonkey DD is also a frequent night waker. I'm learning to just go with it. FF was able to determine when I O'd last month despite many nights up with DD and lots of broken up sleep patterns. Today it just wasn't happening though.

[TnT10]

If you wake up throughout the night what are you supposed to use for your temp- when you wake up in the middle of the night or in the morning? I also wake up during the night, but some nights I don't wake up at all!

Rants/Raves/Chartstalks:This TTC sex makes me realize I prefer quickies 6x a week to slow stuff that takes an hour 1x/week

DD's newest game is "quiet time". I'll be playing with her on her mat, then she jumps up, runs to our bed, gets my neck pillow, brings it back to the mat, pushes me so I lay down, and proceeds to cover me with her play blankets (not just one, oh no. All four, and not one less).

TnT10, I would go ahead and temp in the am at my typical time. Some ladies find their temps don't alter much with a wake up but others find sleeping 3 consecutive hours and temping gives them a more consistent pattern. You really just have to see what works best with you, stay consistent throughout the month and a pattern should be established. One or two outlying temps won't mess with the pattern. best wishes

[dke2010]

TnT10 You need 3 hours of sleep before temping and some women need to temp at the same time each day. If you fall back asleep, I'd take your temp in the morning not in the middle of the night.

@peguin129 and sleepymonkey Glad to have you join us! This check-in is for anyone who is or will be trying for a sibling.

My little girl is also very independent. Everything is "I by self!"
My MIL plays Taylor Swift's "Shake it Off" and DD is (unfortunately) learning to words. She goes around the house saying "Shake, shake, shake. Nothing in my brain". Somebody help me, lol!

GTKY: Tell us a funny story about your kid(s) or something funny they've said! DD is obsessed with bellies - it was one of her first words. She now screams 'belly' and points and laughs manically whenever she sees a pregnant person.

DD has a way of answering every question... "No... Ok!" I still can't tell when she means yes or no because she uses it interchangeably! My future politician?

[doodler]

Hey guys, can I ask a newb question? Should I be posting here instead of the other WTO and TWW threads? Thanks for humoring the new girl

ETA:  I think my siggy just disappeared?  Or at least it is not showing up on my 15 year old work Mac.  I have a 19mo LO.

[dke2010]

doodler This thread is normally just on Tuesday. You can post here and also in the daily WTO/TWW if you wish.
