Age of LO(s): 2 1/2


Circumstances: cleared to TTC by PCP, waiting to talk to Gyno tomorrow


Cycle/Month: it's looking to be Cycle 1


CD/DPO: 9


RRCS: At my PCP appointment yesterday the nurse was reviewing my chart and patient history. She said there were notes on my chart about Pelvic Inflammatory Disease and something else. I wasn't aware of these things and am going to talk to my Gyno at my annual tomorrow.


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? When she tries to dress and undress herself. She is starting to tell me what she wants to wear and I love that she is old enough to start making choices like those now.

[jense927]

Age of LO(s): 2


Circumstances: TTC w RE


Cycle/Month: 11/13

CD/DPO: 16

RRCS: All our testing is done and I was able to move the follow up with my RE to this Friday. So hopefully we will have a plan forward soon! Also at my SHG she measured my follicle and it was at 17mm so she said I should ovulate in the next few days. That was on Friday and I still haven't got a positive OPK yet but they are getting darker.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? I love seeing him interact with all of his aunts uncles and grandparents. He is such a social little guy. At my sisters the other day he went up to each person called them by their name and pulled on their pants saying "pum" which is come (he has a hard time with "c"s) and gathered everyone into the bedroom for his own little party.

[jense927]

penguin129, so cute with the having an opinion on what to wear! The other day I asked DS what he wanted to wear and he pointed to his patriots jersey and said "patriots!" It was hysterical I didn't even know he knew how to say that! I am pretty sure it was MH proudest moment!!

[sanibel21]

penguin129 yay for being cleared by pcp! And hope the gym appt goes well too.

Age of LO(s): 22 months


Circumstances: tfas


Cycle/Month: 1


CD/DPO: 14


RRCS: I have gotten 4 days in a row of high, not peak, readings on digital opks when I was expecting only 2. Not that it matters because we are away and DD unexpectedly will not sleep in the pack n play. She will only sleep in the bed with us. So not sure we can even HIO now


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile?
When we change her diaper, she has started saying "what's in there???" in a cute way like we said when she was opening Christmas presents or something new.

[jcrewgirl]

Age of LO(s): 20 months

Circumstances: TFAS

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 22/8

RRCS: I had brown creamy discharge on 6 DPO which Dr. Google says is implantation bleeding. Yesterday, I was eating my salad, gagged, and threw it away. I'm tired and stressed, but that's just my life. I hate the 2WW. Planning to test either Friday or Saturday.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? We are all about the trains right now. She'll tug her arm up and down and say "Choo-choo...alllll aboad". It makes me smile every time she does it.

Age of LO(s): 17 months tomorrow

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 12

RRCS: Ready for the weekend to get here! I have a feeling this is going to be a long week.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? She learned how to do a forward roll last week! (Former gymnast here so proud mom moment). She is doing them all over the house now! All the gyms near us the starting age for classes is 18 months so I think I am going to sign her up for a mommy and me gymnastics class next month!

penguin129 so glad your appt. went well!

jcrewgirl FX for you!!!

[smallpotato]

Good morning ladies!

penguin129 , hooray for getting clearance! Hopefully your gyn will agree as well.
jense927 , fingers crossed for O soon! I love that story about DS wanting to wear his Patriots shirt. My DS also loves wearing his Pats shirt.
sanibel21 , hope DD will sleep in the pack and play for you.
jcrewgirl , fingers crossed for you! My DS is obsessed with trains and goes around making train noises all the time.
pivot , I did one of those mommy and me gymnastics class with DS last year. We had fun, but he was more interested in running around the gym. Hope you have fun with the classes.

Age of LO(s): 3.5

Circumstances: TFAS

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD/DPO: 12

RRCS: I'm gearing up for O at the end of the week. I showed MH the calendar on FF, and noted the days we'd have to HIO. He's pretty excited about it.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile?

He uses "I love you" and hugs as a diversionary tactic. For example, if I ask him a question about his day, he'll look at me, smile, and say, "I love you, Mommy." Melts my heart, even if he is just avoiding the question. Also, this morning, he told me he peed through his pull-up and wet his pants. This is huge, because he has never said that to me before. Maybe he will be potty trained before college.

Age of LO(s): 4

Circumstances: MFI

Cycle/Month: 9/10

CD/DPO: CD14

RRCS: Hoping for a positive OPK soon. I'm ready to O already. I can't believe it's February....I really thought I'd be ready to pop with another baby at this time. Here I am not even pregnant yet.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? She is a dancing fool lately and it's very....interesting. We had some good laughs last night when she was showing us her new moves.

Cycle/Month:11


CD/DPO:2DPO


RRCS:I have super high hopes for this cycle. Not a good sign. Wish I could test now and not end of next week.


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? She loves to draw people. Right now it's a circle with two lines under it and two dots for eyes, but holy hell it actually looks like something recognizable.

[jense927]

amparo1981 that is pretty impressive! What app is that?

I just browsed free drawing apps for the iPad (hence the ad on the top of the screen). Let me check when I get home.

[ellabee]

Age of LO(s): 22 months. I'm getting a little sad that she's already going to be a full 2 years so soon.

Circumstances: TTC#2

Cycle/Month: 7/9/2AL

CD/DPO: 31/10

RRCS: I feel like everyone I know is pregnant. I'm having a pity party.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? DD is all about learning new words lately. The other day we learned what/where our elbows are. One night last week after I put her down for bed, I caught her on the baby monitor rolling up her sleeves, looking at her arm and saying "howa you, elbo". It made me smile.

[amparo1981]

ETA wrong thread. Durrr. Moving it to TWW.

Can I join you at the party? Are you having a separate event for the "my kid is getting so big so fast" or are you rolling it into one big thing? I can bring brownies

[sleepymonkey]

Age of LO(s): 2 (25 months)


Circumstances: AMA, 1st medicated cycle


Cycle/Month: 9


CD/DPO: 11


RRCS: Trigger shot yesterday, O should be today. I was really hoping to have more than 1 good follicle before the trigger but apparently that was not meant to be.


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? Like penguin129 , DD is starting to have an opinion on what to wear. But she's more about accessories at this point. She likes to pick out her shoes, hair tie, and whatever else she thinks she needs. This was her choice on Sunday:

Because a tutu and sparkly Frozen boots can make any outfit shine.

Oh let's have a big combined shindig full of tears, anxiety and nostalgia. I'll bring the wine.

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): almost 13 months


Circumstances: NTNP/breastfeeding LO with no af


Cycle/Month: possible first PP cycle


CD/DPO: 13 dpo


RRCS: going crazy over here


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile?
He's started waving the last week or so and pointing at things. Like I'll say "where's daddy?" And he'll point at DH. It's pretty adorable. He's also becoming a pretty good walker which is always fun to watch.

[BabyStandish]

sleepymonkey that outfit is adorable. I'd rock it.

[KR]

Age of LO(s): 19 months

Circumstances: TFAS

Cycle/Month: 4 (2AL)

CD/DPO: cd 2

RRCS: I was bummed yesterday for cd 1. I was irrationally hopeful and had been reading into too many symptoms. Anyway, feeling a better today and trying to return to optimism while WTO.

GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? My H showed him Finding Nemo recently in a day they were home sick together. LO now asks for it all the time but he can't remember how to say Nemo so he tries all different things. "Memo, nemmi, moody, Elmo, lemmo." It's makes me smile every time.

[cheezee]

sleepymonkey she is a doll! I love her curls!

[jense927]

I love the QOTW! So fun to read about all the cute things our LOs do!

[ladytiffany24]

Age of LO(s): Almost 19 months


Circumstances: TFAS since 11/2015


Cycle/Month: 4/4


CD/DPO: CD5


RRCS: Ready to get things moving so O can get here.


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? She's like a sponge right now so she's constantly learning new words. One of my more recent fav things though is if you ask her for a kiss, she says no and shakes her head wildly. Then if you give her a sad face, she comes right at you with a hug and a kiss. It is the sweetest thing. Oh, and somehow, my daughter is obsessed with Taylor Swift. If she's in another room and hears a TSwift song come on, she runs into the other room and starts dancing wildly. It's so cute.

I was going to invite myself and bring wine as well. Moar is never a bad thing right?

Age of LO(s): 2 (almost 28 months)

Circumstances: TFAS since 07/15

Cycle/Month: 6/8

CD/DPO: 17

RRCS: Hoping I O'd yesterday, which would be amazing. I've never O'd this early.

GTKY: DS is so sensitive and empathetic. If my body language at all suggests I might be sad or angry, he gets a very concerned look on his face and says "Happy ma?" Yesterday when I picked him up from DC he was holding the hand of another little boy walking around the classroom. When he saw me, he took off running but didn't let go of the little boy's hand. They both fell, but DS turned back around after getting himself up and helped his friend up, then gave him a hug. One of the little girls was standing next to me when DS made it to me, kind of whining that she wanted a snack. DS looked at her and said "I needa give you a hug", hugged her and then said "Ok?" The little girl still looked a little sad(?) so DS said "I needa give you a kiss" and hugged her again, then gave her a big sloppy kiss square on the lips. I'm in trouble.

RRCS: Home inspection, dry rot inspection, and sewer scope today! Glad to have an excuse to have a long lunch.

GTKY: He's saying whole sentences now! Or, starting to. It's pretty adorable.

CD/DPO: 26/9
RRCS: My temp started to dip yesterday and today it's at coverline. I'm supposed to test on Thursday, but I'm fully expecting to wake up with my period instead. Now I'm grouchy.
GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? When she eats something tasty, she does this really exaggerated and sing-songy "mmm-MMM-mmm" - it's so cute.


penguin129, Hooray for cycle 1! Good luck

[amandamh2]

Age of LO(s): 9 months


Circumstances: NTNP/TFAS, no PP AF due to BFing


Cycle/Month: ?/2


CD/DPO: unknown


RRCS: I watched the Grease live production the other day and it reminded me how much I miss dancing and acting. I really wish there was a way for me to get involved in doing so again but DH's job has inconsistent hours so finding childcare would be a major issue. It just made me miss some of those things that were such a big part of my pre-baby self but don't fit into my life now.


GTKY- What new thing your LO does makes you smile? DS likes to carry socks and toys around in his mouth while he crawls, I guess because it's the only way he can take them along. He looks like a little puppy and it's super cute.

[britta]

amandamh2 I hear you. I'd love to go back to working FT, but I'm in the same boat with an H who works inconsistent/unpredictable hours. We did it for a year and a half, and the amount we spent on childcare was outrageous. FT daycare, plus a babysitter to cover gaps, my sister took LO usually one weekend a month, AND we were still having to pass him off in the hospital lobby sometimes. It's tough, but I know this is best for us right now.
