Age of LO(s): almost 4
Cycle/Month: 6
Cycle Day: CD1...boo!
Circumstances (if any special): MFI
R/R/CS: I knew CD1 was coming but it still sucks. I'm so ready to enjoy our family vacay soon.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? She has been begging to be a fairy so I guess I better start looking for something with wings! My mom gave her this fairy book she reads every night before bed every night and she's obsessed.

Cycle/Month: 4
Cycle Day: CD22/3DPO
Circumstances (if any special): None
R/R/CS: Just entered the TWW and I'm feeling impatient
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? We just bought her costume. She is gong to be Batgirl. We may try to find a Batman t-shirt for MH and a Robin t-shirt for me. We're not even sure if we're taking her T-or-T'ing since she's not even 2 yet. MH wants to take her but I think we should wait another year or 2. She may just wear her costume to help pass out candy.

Age of LO(s): 5 months
Circumstances (if any special): TFAS in February (finally set a month!), assuming AF is back by then. Stopping BCP around New Years then TTA for a month or so to see what my cycles do off BC but still BF.
R/R/CS: We're moving this weekend and I can't wait. Goodbye apartment, hello duplex!
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? One of LO's nicknames is Tristasaurus so we're thinking of playing off that and making him a dinosaur.

Age of LO(s): Almost 13 months
Cycle/Month: 2/2
Cycle Day: 6
Circumstances (if any special):
R/R/CS: we're about to put our house on the market and i'm really stressed over it. Wondering whether we should put off TTC while our living situation might be in transition over the next year. Sad.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? I thought we had a ton of hand-me-down costumes to choose from. Turns out none are the right size. I bought a $4 pumpkin zipper sleeper on a whim at wal-mart. Soooo, that?

***loss mentioned***
Age of LO(s):10 months this week
Cycle/Month:WTDS
Cycle Day:
Circumstances (if any special): My pregnancy just ended in MC. I'm scheduling an appt with my RE next month. I hope to start trying Nov.
R/R/CS: My new insurance is giving me a headache. They pay certain bills from the RE visits. And then my prescriptions are on a separate plan and I have to check what they will cover. I already know they won't pay for one of the meds I took during my pregnancy with my son.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? Jerry! the mouse from Tom&Jerry. He can wear his own brown clothes, I need to make the ears/tail, and then draw his whiskers on. My sister has a gray cat and I'd love to get a picture of him holding her but he's kind of scared of animals.

Age of LO(s): DS will be 2 on Sunday!!!
Cycle/Month: 3/3
Cycle Day: 8
Circumstances (if any special): None
R/R/CS: Nothing to speak of. Can't believe my little man is almost 2 though. This morning he told me he didn't want to be 2, he wants to be "Ma's baby." *swoon* Ok bud. You can be Ma's baby as long as you want.
GTKY- I have no idea. H and I are both hunters, so people have been posting a pic to my FB page for over a year now of a little boy, dressed in camo, riding in a Little Tikes car with a stuffed deer tied to the top. Everyone says we should do this with DS so we might. He's got the Little Tikes pickup truck so that would make it even better.

Cycle Day: 24/11
Circumstances (if any special): N/A
R/R/CS: Think CD1 is going to start soon. I'm really bummed.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? Possibly a monkey. Have a monkey and a Winnie the Pooh costume that I got from a costume swap. Not in love with either but also kind of lazy and don't feel like searching for/paying for a better costume. We will see.

Age of LO: 20 months
Cycle/Month : N/A
Cycle Day: N/A
Circumstances : TFAS in January
R/R/CS: I'm a little sad when thinking about TFAS. Not because I don't want another one...but because I will be sad not to be able to give DD my full attention. I'm so worried that she'll feel sad if we have another one, or that the new baby won't get as much attention as I gave DD as a baby, or that I'll miss milestones with both of them because I'll have to split my attention between them. It just makes me sad to think I won't be able to do everything with both of them all the time. I hope that makes sense.
GTKY: I have no idea. I was thinking butterfly but then we had a little accident with the wings I was planning on using...so now I'm not sure.

Age of LO(s): 18 months
Cycle/Month: TTC starting in November
Cycle Day: 8
Circumstances (if any special): none
R/R/CS: We had DS's 18month appointment yesterday. The pedi referred us to a hearing lab to have DS's hearing checked because he isn't talking yet. He said if the hearing test comes back fine then we can proceed with early intervention. I'm on board with this plan but MH is not. For some reason he's really defensive about the whole thing. DS is smart and is on track with every other aspect of his development, it's just this talking thing that isn't happening yet.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? No idea yet.
R/R/CS: I'm really excited to be TFAS and am def ready for #2. I've just started with monitoring CM and opk's and if we don't GKU this cycle, I will start BBT. I have a feeling I will become neurotic about it though, so that's why I'm putting it off.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? We found a dinosaur costume that is adorable. One of DS favorite books is Oh My Oh my Oh Dinosaurs, so it's fitting

Age of LO: 2
Cycle/ Month: WTDS
Cycle Day: 23
Circumstances: TTA until TFAS in the New Year
R/R/CS: Not much. I stopped PNV's for the time being. They may be messing with my levels. We'll seee. Does baby fever happen to everyone? I don't feel like it's happening to me. Is that a bad thing?

Age of LO(s): 3&5
Cycle/Month: I've lost count
Cycle Day: nope
Circumstances (if any special): blocked tubes, about to start stimming for IVF
R/R/CS: Hoping my cyst is gone and we have no more delays!
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? DS (3) wants to be Thor or Captain America and DD (5) wants to be Ariel. She told me that I have to buy her a 'twig' though. When I asked why she needed a twig she said "So I can have long red hair like Ariel!"

jubilantsquirrel - While I haven't experienced what you are going through with your son, I'm a big believer in early intervention. Hopefully he is just a little delayed with talking and you won't have to do anything major and he will just catch up, but if it turns out to be an issue, getting help early can only benefit him in the long run. Hopefully you and your husband can get on the same page soon. Good luck!
penguin129, I wouldn't necessarily say I have baby fever. When I look at my life in 10 years, I want there to be 2 kids. But when I look at my life in 1 year, I'm not necessarily excited about the possibility of having a baby and toddler. I didn't really enjoy the newborn phase.
Post by jubilantsquirrel on Sept 29, 2015 22:22:22 GMT -5
Thanks rungirlrun! We have to wait 1-2 weeks for the referral to the hearing lab to go through before we can make an appointment. I think my husband will come around by then and we'll be in agreement. At least that's my hope.
Post by penguin129 on Sept 29, 2015 22:59:41 GMT -5
Thanks rungirlrun! It helps to hear that. The toddler phase is a little tricky too. I can't wait until I have kids in Elementary school. I like how you explained 10 years out verses a year out. It really really helps. (I know I said that already, but it mean a lot).
jubilantsquirrel I remember feeling a little panicked when EI was suggested to us (DS was preemie so we have had it since birth) but someone along the way presented it in a different way, whether or not something is wrong it absolutely does not hurt to have the extra eyes and help for your child. EI does such a fabulous job and they have so much insight. Being a FTM I found it so helpful. I hope that if it comes to it you can get your hubby on board!
Age of LO(s): 21 months
Cycle/Month: 8/9
Cycle Day: 18
Circumstances (if any special):
R/R/CS: I think I O'd yesterday. Waiting on crosshairs to confirm. I am so ready to have another and now DS is showing so much interest in babies it is making me want it that much more.
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? I am thinking dinosaur. Nice and warm costume plus he loves his toy dinosaur I got him at the zoo.

littlelion, so sorry you're back here. Sorry for all the CD1s everyone. sammysam, I had similar thoughts when I was trying for my second, but then I thought about all the benefits to giving your kid a sibling, especially as they get older. They'll have someone to talk with growing up and play with and share friends and toys with. My kids are still pretty young but they adore each other already and it has made things easier to have a built in play date.
Age of LO(s): 1, almost 3
Cycle/Month: 5/5
Cycle Day: 11
Circumstances (if any special): Trying for a third
R/R/CS: Not much, it's been a crazy last couple of months, so I'm really really hoping we have crested that hill and life will calm down a bit going forward!
GTKY- What is LO going to be for Halloween? I think we are going to dress our kids up as fish and my husband I are going to go as snorklers. I'm going to buy one of those cheesy tunics with a swimsuit printed on.

@twobananas Thank you for the insight! I was hoping that a 2nd time + mom might chime in. What is the age difference between you LOs if you don't mind my asking? What did you find was the biggest adjustment when #2 came along? I would love to hear anything you would like to share about your experiences with 2.
