[littlelion]

This check-in is for anyone trying for a sibling or planning on trying for a sibling in the next few weeks, months, etc.

Age of LO(s):

Cycle/Month:

CD/DPO:

RRCS:

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc. 

[mrsp121308]

Age of LO(s): 4 & 6

Cycle/Month: 1/1

CD: CD: I have no clue at this point. CD 19 if I call the bleeding "spotting" in FF. CD 5, if I consider it AF.

RRCS: I hate trying to figure out wtf my body is doing.

GTKY: DD6 talks in her sleep. It's worse if she's super tired but it's definitely not uncommon for her to carry on conversations while she's sleeping.

Thanks for starting littlelion!

I can't think of any strange quirks off the top of my head but he eats like its going out of style...he literally shovels food into his mouth like he is starving or something. It's like watching a competitive eating contest when watching him eat a banana!

Age of LO(s): 14 mo

Cycle/Month:3AL

CD/DPO:CD15 WTO

RRCS:My face is breaking out for some reason. Not pretty. 

GTKY- My LO goes thru stages of sleep crutches. Before it was the boob, then the bottle, then rocking. Most recently he'll put his hand down my cleavage when he gets tired...and he'll do that to my husband or anyone else holding him. I thought that was a bad habit I needed to break but now he's starting to pinch. He'll pinch my chest and if I cover up, he'll pinch my arms. And he cries when I don't let him. I keep giving him stuffed animals to see if he'll attach but no dice.

LOL yes, my LO may end up a sleep talker too. Just like his dad. Both laugh in their sleep and DH does sleep talk. Since my LO doesn't really talk yet the most I've caught him sleep talking is saying "papa".

RRCS: BFN today, now just waiting for AF to show up.

He loves trucks. Whenever we're out on a walk he'll stop and look at every pickup truck we walk past.

RRCS: We decided kind of last minute that we were going to try this cycle. So I keep calling our one day in the window a Hail Mary attempt. Lol.

When she hears bagpipes (aka dropkick murphys) or electric guitars she immediately stops what she's doing and bobs her head and dances. She has interesting taste in music.

[nemomof2]

jubilantsquirrel sorry for the BFN
littlelion love that Leo says papa in his sleep, so sweet! DD mumbles but I have never caught any words. Sorry he is starting to pinch, M likes to slap my chest if I have to go to him in the MOTN.
Hooper88 my DS also eats like we have never fed him before. He eats more then DD already!
mrsp121308 I hope your body gives you some clues or gets with the program!

RRCS: blah.

She is a stomach down/butt in the air sleeper & I love watching her sleep like that - so cute. She also has her daddy's (lack of) patience already. If she is trying to work on something (stack blocks, close a ziploc bag, etc.) and it is just not working out for her that day...she will chuck it halfway across the room, scream & run away. I think it's hilarious (right now).

Sorry for the BFN jubilantsquirrel

[nemomof2]

Age of LO(s): DD 3 in March & DS 1

Cycle/Month: 1/1 I guess since we decided to Start TFAS. Is that how it works?

CD/DPO: 20/3

RRCS: I'm not to hopeful for this cycle, between DH being sick and a migraine for me we only hit 1 day in my FW. I was really upset and then DH gave me a pep talk. I have decided I am not going to temp for awhile and just HIO EOD close to my FW and see how it goes. For me I just get too stressed and worked up knowing we don't hit the right days. I still want HIO to be fun and not just for baby making sorry that turned into a novel. Coffee and doughnuts for all!

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks?
DD can't go to bed without a cup of water with her and several books in bed. I go in after she is asleep and she is laying on the books, seems extremely uncomfortable to me.
DS has to have at least 3 pacifiers in bed with him when sleeping. 1 in his mouth and then 1 for each hand. I am just dreading the time when we have to take them away.

RRCS: I woke up early and realized my temp was still up. Fell back asleep and had a vivid dream about a BFP. Then got a BFN. Boo.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc.
I always get a kick out her language. She never says "because..." if I ask her why she did something. She'll always say "for I don't want to eat that" or "for I want the pink marker".

Cycle/Month: 7/7

CD/DPO: CD21/ 4 DPO

RRCS: Back in the 2ww. We had all of the sex. It's not even fun anymore

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? She has modified her for "more" to her own made up sign. And now it seem sto also mean "hurry the hell up and give me food... or water... or a drink."

[littlelion]

cheezee, sorry for the bfn, those always suck but especially having a bfp dream.

ugh I had a BFP dream the other day and it seemed SO real! I was so disappointed when I woke up and realized it wasn't real.

[ourcrazynavylife]

cheezee the exact same thing happened to me this morning. Sorry for the bfn.

[thelittleredm]

Age of LO: 2yrs

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle/Month: 13's

CD: 27

RRCS: For some reason, it just dawned on me this weekend that DS is turning 3. This feels like a huge milestone for some reason. Like he graduates from being my baby to my little boy. Cue all the tears.

GTKY: Umm. He really likes picking at ears. Generally, it's when he's tired but sometimes he just does it. He also likes to pick at things like pimples.

[irish14]

Yay for check ins! Can I join?

Age of LO(s): 1
Cycle/Month: had 1 PP AF in Jan. So I guess that means 1/2? Am I counting right?
CD/DPO: no idea
RRCS: DS got up early this morning. DH often gets up with him but he stayed up late last night so I got up. I was probably unnecessarily snarky about it.
GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc.
DS likes to double-fist his sippy cups of water. He'll run all over the house with one in each hand. I'm getting him started on the right path in life, clearly.

littlelion mine also sticks his hand down my cleavage for comfort. With the pinching - he had this thing for a while where he'd pinch the jiggly part at the back of my upper arm - hurt like a B. It passed, though, after probably a month or so - hopefully yours does too...

Sorry to the ladies with BFNs

[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 13.5 months

Cycle/Month: n/a, NTNP until my period returns

CD/DPO: n/a

RRCS: I'm so tired. Rain makes me just want to sleep all day. Once in awhile I'll get EWCM and I no longer get excited like the first time it happened. My period will come back when my body is ready I guess.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc. he likes to pick my bellybutton when he nurses. It is annoying and hurts, but it's a weird comfort to him so I allow it until he actually starts cutting through skin.

[ladytiffany24]

Age of LO(s): 19 months

Cycle/Month: 4/4

CD/DPO: 26/7

RRCS: Just over here trying not to symptom spot.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc.
When she gets excited about something (usually food, ha), she waves both hands excitedly.

[nemomof2]

cheezee, sorry for the BFN
pivot, DS sleeps like that too, so cute!

I have thought of another cute thing that DS does. He will fake cough so you will come up and ask him if he is ok and pat his back. If you don't get to it fast enough then he will try to pat his own back, he is only able to reach his ear. Make me laugh everytime!

[KR]

Sorry for the BFNs!

Age of LO(s): 20 months

Cycle/Month: 4/6 (2AL)

CD/DPO: 22/ 8dpo

RRCS: Just over here trying not to board the crazy train after the "implantation bleeding" I had yesterday. It's really hard not to when I had the same for both my other BFPs! Anyway, I am testing Saturday. I may just have to be crazy for the next few days.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc.
He won't try to say milk. Like he will ask for "more" and we'll try to get him to say "mommy, more milk please". He'll say mommy, more, and peese but will not ever try saying milk. It's weird.

[sloopy02]

cheezee, not a bfp dream this morning but I had an odd breastfeeding dream! weird.

Age of LO(s): 4.5

Cycle/Month: 2/2

CD/DPO: 23/8

RRCS: I'm feeling optimistic. Which is good. But reality is it could take another year just like last time. Blaaaaaaaah.

GTKY- Does your LO(s) have any strange quirks? When they eat, sleep, tell a story, play, etc. No, just a lot of sassy spunky loving attitude.

[KR]

littlelion My guy also went through a pinching phase. But it was mostly during nursing. It seemed like it was maybe related to a decrease in supply, orrr it was just random. But it was super annoying at the time.

RRCS: kind of bummed. I had ewcm and a fairly dark opk surounded by light ones over the weekend, but no temp jump. These long cycles with multiple patches of ewcm are so confusing.

When DS is playing with his stuffies they all have different voices. He also expects us to know which voice is which and speak to them.
He also has a fairly long goodnight routine:
Us: have a good sleep DS
DS: have a good sleep mommy and daddy
Us: thank you we will
DS: thank you I will
DS as stuffies: thank you I will (x3)
Us: goodnight
DS: goodnight
Us: ok
DS: ok

It takes a while but it's pretty cute

[daisylola11]

RRCS: I was debating on charting right from the beginning but w H new schedule (out of town a lot) I wanna keep track just so we can try timing it better.

GTKY: DS will find rhythm anywhere, I was cooking and chopping he was dancing it up haha
