1) I found a solution to getting C into the car seat without lifting her.
2) I tell her if she gets in the car seat I will give her an m&m. She climbs in the car and then up in the seat so fast, it's pretty impressive.
3) I don't like bribing my child to do things she should in theory do anyway, but my back is still sore and I don't think it's a good idea to lift her at all if I can help it until after baby #2 is born.
4) we had C's 2 yr check up and everything looks great generally. She still has this weird rash that goes down her leg in a line. The doctor told me she honestly didn't know what it is but isn't too concerned and we have a regimen of hydrocortisone and eczema cream we are going to try for awhile.
5) C's weight percentile actually went up a little to 60%. I was afraid it went down, so happy about that.
1. I took Lucie for a hip ultrasound this morning to rule out hip dysplasia. Our pediatrician recommended it even though she has no signs of an issue since she was breech until 32 weeks and it is a common problem with breech baby girls. We won't get the results for a few days. I'm not really worried.
2. I had my 6 week postpartum appointment with my OB yesterday. I'm down 36 lbs since the day I delivered. Yay! More to go to get to pre-TTC weight, but it is a good start.
3. We paid off J's car yesterday. Another yay!
4. William is having an off day. He has been cranky and whiny. He is currently napping. I hope he wakes up in a better mood.
5. I'm currently procrastinating doing some cleaning. I really need to, but I'm also really tired and would love to just sit on the couch for w little while. Blah...
6. I need more coffee.
7. We have plans to go to the zoo tomorrow. It is supposed to be 77 degrees. I am excited!
8. I need some new clothes before i go back to work.
9. My OB asked yesterday if we were done having kids. I said no. She laughed and said she didn't think we were, and the she said "see you in a year, if not sooner" when I was leaving. Haha! She knows us too well.
10. I am loving our city select stroller. It was definitely a good decision. I highly recommend it to those in need of a double stroller.

1. This weather!! I cannot wait to bust out of work and go play with my wife and our fur babies.
2. We're supposed to travel to our donor for our first insem at the end of the month, but my wife just got her period for the second time in a little over 2 weeks so now I'm scared we won't be able to time well
3. I skated in an actual practice last night since I broke my leg last year. Woo!
4. Received a call back from an LGBT specific group that is going to help us with all of the legalities of bringing a baby into this world!
5. My wife is going to visit some family this weekend and we just realized that its the first time we've spent a night apart in almost 2 years. We're really not *that* couple, but damn she's my bestie!
6. While I will miss her, I'm looking forward to a weekend alone where I will get wild and crazy and spend guilt-free hours at the gym. (sidenote: It's my own guilt. I work out of the house and I have two time-consuming hobbies so I feel bad spending too much time out of the house on weekends.)
7. We're finally taking our honeymoon in 2 months!
8. I'm excited about the beautiful table my wife is building us.
9. Chocolate is good.
10. Tuesdays when the weather is beautiful and you are at work, are bad.

1 - 10) I got the call from my RE. I am no longer responding to meds. Might be back in the future when Kass decides to start trying. Thanks for everything over the past year.
{Click to read}My 12 year old mix got into the trash and ate anywhere from 4-6 tampons, three of which came up when he got sick shortly after. He threw up again last night but nothing came out and there is nothing in his stool. The vet suggests waiting until the end of the week and as long as he is acting normal not to worry, but I can't help but be concerned.
6. We have decided to definitely start trying for number 2 the end of summer.
7. I can't agree with bmorecharming's number 9. ::pops a lindt truffle into my mouth::
8. Two of my co-workers got into an argument the other day and are still having issues communicating which I didn't realize until I was asked to pass a message from one to the other.
9. I said no to number 8.
10. I am so glad this work day is almost over. After yesterday's bad news, I am looking forward to getting home to my girls for some much needed family time.

kekaellypula, so sorry to hear this. Wishing you all the best.
bmorecharming, similar position here. I started bleeding yesterda - two weeks after...whatever that was. We've decided to test around cd20 ( long follicular phase - or as we like to call it the F phase ) and If cm is not disagreeable we will probably be going for it in the last couple days of March. Best of luck
****loss and living child discussed***** We're queer. I'm 34, have severe stage 4 endo, and both fallopian tubes are gone. My love ("Manada" 33) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tav.in and Ca.sey at 21 weeks gestation.

I am sorry. This happened to my wife. The plan was for her to carry #1 since she is 12y older than I am. But she found out she had fibroids and other health conditions that prevented her from carrying. It was a hard blow to her and made me feel incredibly guilty. I think the pain has subsided as the years have gone on and she is incredibly attached to the boys. But I think there will always be a piece of her that longs for a biological connection and a chance to experience pregnancy.
1. It's Thursday. 2. It's snowing and has been all day, and plans to keep snowing tomorrow. Fun way to kick off Spring Break! 3. Oh god, I need spring break. 4. Pho is the best food. 5. I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and still don't know if I've felt the nugget move. 6. Doctor said he's very active in there. 7. I keep falling asleep on the couch in the evenings. Tonight, I thought I was being sneaky about it, but apparently I was snoring. 8. My parents had to put down our family dog this week. She was a 15 year old lab. Old puppy. :-( 9. I am going to meet somebody on Saturday to buy the first baby thing! A beautiful, used, woven wrap. 10. I'm so sorry kekaellypula.
esquette,if it reassures you- J almost never moved, and I didn't feel him move often, either. Hes made up for it on the outside by near constant motion! If the drs say hes healthy and active, try not to fret!
