GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)?

[penguin129]

Age of LO: 2

Circumstances: 1 month and 1 cycle out from NTNP


Cycle/Month: N/A

CD: 23

R/R/CS: I can't believe it is SEPTEMBER!!!! We are so close to NTNP. I feel like I finally have a handle on this being a mom thing. LOL! I'm not sure if it is because I started doing Stay at Home Preschool stuff with DD or what. I just feel different. Like everything clicked. I'm ready for the next step. DD has a cold or allergies or something

GTKY: There are so many things I like doing with DD. Cooking, doing art, going for walks just to name a few.

[witchywoman]

Ages of LO(s):1.5


Circumstances:ntnp


Cycle/Month:2/2


Cycle Day:11


R/R/CS: I've just been having a bad night/day. Almost vomited at work last night so that means I'm totes ktfu even though I haven't ovulated yet.


GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? Color. I love coloring with her. She's not big on it. She just likes to steal all the crayons and hoard them. It's ok. I just bought a 48 pack.

[flojo973]

Good morning!

Ages of LO(s): 15 months

Circumstances: Actively TTC

Cycle/Month: 1/1

Cycle Day: CD 31/9 dpo

R/R/CS: I'm trying really hard not to POAS even though I've been spotting for the past two days.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? Going on walks. She is such a little explorer now.

[cheezee]

Ages of LO(s): I can't believe my baby will be 4 in two months.

Circumstances: Starting cycle 5 of TFAS

Cycle/Month: 5

Cycle Day: CD1...boo.

R/R/CS: I'm relieved because it was looking like we might have to sit out October because we'd be on a family trip right in our FW. As long as my cycle stays somewhat the same this month we should be good to go as soon as we get back in town. Although I'm hoping we won't need to worry about October! DH has his SA scheduled for Friday (has low testosterone and is taking clomid) and I'm super anxious to get those results. Either way it will be a relief to know.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? I love taking DD to the trampoline park. She has so much fun and I get a little work out!

[jense927]

Ages of LO(s): 20 months

Circumstances: Actively Trying

Cycle/Month: 7/9

Cycle Day: 20

R/R/CS: 3 DPO, O'd on CD17 this month which is earlier than usual for me so I am thankful for that. My best friend just found out she is pregnant. They have been trying a while and were going to move on to IVF next cycle. So happy for her. I am hoping I can join her for a May EDD!

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? I love checking out new places with him and seeing his curiosity! We've had a lot of fun at the beach and indoor playgrounds. We went to a children's museum by us and he had sooo much fun.

[ellabee]

Ages of LO(s): 17 months

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle/Month: 3

Cycle Day: 8

R/R/CS: Not much to report right now, just WTO. My LP has been shorter post-partum (11 and 9 days so far for tracked cycles). I's also taken me longer to O post-partum after turning a positive opk (~3 days). Not sure if this is all related to being post-partum, or just getting older, or not being in as good a shape as I was before DD.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? I love taking DD swimming. I can tell she's going to be a total water rat when she gets older.

[twobananas]

Ages of LO(s): 3 in Nov, 1 (next week!)

Circumstances: Trying for a third

Cycle/Month: 4/4

Cycle Day: 11

R/R/CS: Heading to the in-laws today for the rest of the week so really hope I ovulate today or tomorrow!

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? My daughter is becoming a lot more mobile so it's been really fun to watch them play together at the park

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? She just got a new doll house so we've been playing house and barbies. Brings back memories. I also love when she helps me in the kitchen

[tincupchalice]

Ages of LO(s): almost 17 months

Circumstances: Trying for #2

Cycle/Month: 6/6

Cycle Day: 11 DPO

R/R/CS: Negative test. I know it's still early, but after having THREE dreams last night about BFPs, it was a pretty big letdown this morning.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? We love going hiking.

[penguin129]

Love Tits for the GTKY Q's. I like reading what other LO's like to do.

[dashook]

Hi ladies! We aren't officially TFAS yet but I majorly have BOTB and feel more ready by the day, so I hope it's okay if I join you here

Ages of LO(s): 7.5 months

Circumstances: I am still BFing and haven't gotten my first PPP, but we are not using any BC and not-so-secretly hoping for a "surprise."

Cycle/Month: N/A...no cycles yet as far as I know.

R/R/CS: I'm in a bit of a weird spot because as the days go by I find myself more and more excited about the idea of being pregnant again. I should probably cool my jets because I'm on week 3 of a very demanding new job, but it's hard!

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? I love to take my little guy to a local farm where they have a little store and all kinds of animals. First we go into the store to pick out some eggs, fruits, and veggies for him to enjoy, and then we go out to the barn where he mostly stares at but sometimes pets the goats, sheep, pigs, etc. Once in a while he just busts out laughing at them too! It is so magical to watch him explore his world.

Hi, I'm new here!

Ages of LO(s): DD will be 1 next week!

Circumstances: TTTC#2

Cycle/Month: 1/1

Cycle Day: 6

R/R/CS: I don't know what the means... penguin129?... editing - Spending the next couple months HIO just for funsies. This is new and different for 2 reasons. 1)  TTC#1 was so methodical.  2) PP Sex has finally graduated to decent, where it had been tolerable for the past month, and excruciating before that. Will start seriously charting again after the new year.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)?
Playing in the pool.
Building block towers and watching her laugh maniacally when she knocks them down.

R/R/CS: I am down to 2 wondfos and I'm resisting ordering more because I really hope this is my month, though I don't think it will be. I did also buy a digital just to use for confirmation when I finally see that second line.

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? Currently my favorite activity to do with DD is dancing. She just started to really like to dance all over the house and she really loves when me and MH join in. It's so much fun to see the pure joy on her face when we're all dancing.

H is doing well. We're just upset that even after beating cancer it's still messing with our lives. But we're grateful he's cancer-free for now. Thanks for asking

GTKY: What is your favorite activity to do with your LO(s)? This summer it has been going to the wading pool. I have to stay on my toes because he hasn't figured out yet what to do if he falls in the water. But I love watching him explore and watching him watch the older kids.
