Age of LO(s): 15 months


Cycle/ Month: 3/3


Cycle Day: 25


R/R/CS:  We really did try to hard this month to hit my fertile days and I am ok with that really.  We are still working on restoring intimacy after a couple of months of nothing. Next month we will give it the old college try for sure.

GTKY: Favorite childhood memory or tradition you look forward to sharing/creating with your LOs. I enjoyed the Thanksgiving Day parade in NYC with just me and my dad being spur of the moment and just going for it. Same with St. Patrick's Day parade.


Or snow days with my mom.  Or anything Christmas related will be fun.  Baking cookies, writing letters to Santa and all that jazz.

Not a biggie lloyddobler, but when you quote and then change the answers, it looks like I'm the one who has posted your info. Just FYI.

penguin129 not sure if it is an option for you, but I do quiet time with my son (there is no way I would get him to do it otherwise). I lie down with him (lights off except for a small lamp, and tell him it is quiet time and we have to rest. He usually talks, which is fine, but I don't play.

Thanks! I tried getting her to lay next to me in bed and read a book, but she wasn't having it. It was clear to me she needed a nap. She went down really fast so that was good.

walkek85 I get that same feeling a lot! I swear the parks and beaches are filled with pregnant ladies who have kids the same age as my LO. And I want to be like I should be 7 months pregnant and be one of those pregnant ladies! Ugh.

Yes definitely try quiet time! DD wouldn't even lay in her bed anymore for naps and insisted on our bed. It sucks I get kicked out of my room for a bit but she usually ends up falling asleep. Sometimes I'll lay down with her and sneak out when she's asleep...Sometimes we both get a nap!

We were also a lot more vocal about TFAS. I really regret it but the "when are you going to have another one?" Never stops! So I just started telling people "we're working on it. Sometimes its not so easy ya know" and that usually shuts people up.

Thanks. I'm starting to get the "why aren't you pregnant again?" from family and friends. I feel like I should have never told anyone we were trying.

I feel like people need to be more cautious about any questions concerning pregnancy whether it be trying for a first or second or 8th.

I'm sorry you had a traumatic labor I had preeclampsia with DS and suffered a lot of blood loss so I'm scared shitless too.
