[BabyStandish]

Age of LO(s): 15 months

Cycle/Month: 1/6

CD/DPO: 18/4

RRCS: I was really surprised I ovulated as early as I did. I thought my first pp cycle was going to be really wacky.

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? He pulls and rubs his hair when he's really tired. DH and I thought something was wrong with him lol

[ellabee]

Age of LO(s): 2

Cycle/Month: 8/11

CD/DPO: Benched

RRCS: Just have all my fingers crossed for AF soon. I'm ready to get this TFAS show back on the road!

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? DD likes to take her socks off and put them on her hands as mittens. She think's it's so funny. She also scrunches her shoulders way up to her ears when she's excited/happy/concentrating really hard on a task. It's so quirky lol.

I missed last week, too!

Age of LO(s): 19 months

Cycle/Month: 9/9

CD/DPO: 18/7

RRCS: FF got drunk on me this week. We've had less than awesome timing the past two months. Last cycle my LP was a few days longer than normal, so I had kind of gotten my hopes up. This cycle, I'm going to hold out till well past 12 DPO to test (though I'm doubtful I'll get that far without AF showing up...)

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? She' flips her lid of any of the the cats' kibble is on the floor. She exclaims "uh-oh!! Uh-oh!!" and picks up each piece to put it back

[thelittleredm]

Age of LO: 2.5yrs

Circumstances: TTC #2

Cycle/Month: 15/15

CD: 8

RRCS: Not much. Ate some yummy green chile smothered breakfast but omg my stomach is cramping so bad now. Worth it, though.

GTKY: Hm. If he thinks you're upset with him, he meows, pouts, and rubs his head all over you until you pet his hair.

DS has done this since learning what socks are.

Thanks for starting ellabee. I told myself to start it on Tuesday when I didn't see it but then got too busy at work.

Age of LO(s): 4

Cycle/Month: 11/12

CD/DPO: 3dpo

RRCS: 2nd cycle where we've only hit one day. Just not hopeful at all and probably putting away the therm for a while since I got CHs this morning.

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? She's had a lot of texture issues with new foods lately. If she doesn't like it she'll yell "I'm gonna throw up!" and end up spitting out the food...usually in the palm of our hands.

[wildflower810]

Age of LO(s): 16.5 months

Cycle/Month: alllmost ready to burn the bench, I think.

CD/DPO: Expecting AF any day... then 1 more TTA cycle, maybe.

RRCS: Gosh. So I'm having a midlife crisis of sorts trying to figure out how to balance being a mom vs being a professional. My profession is changing and if I want to stay relevant there's a bunch of studying, testing, and continuing ed hours I need to do. If I decide to do that, it probably puts off TFAS by a few months, which is hard. And, I'm not sure if I can even attempt to stay relevant because I'd be taking more time out of my field with a baby.

There's just this pressure to have a "career" and an identity other than "mom" but I'm not sure I can handle it all. My work is sooo stressful and draining that I had to quit while pregnant last time. I'm not sure if I should just push "pause" for a good while on the professional part because I can't exactly push "pause" on mom life.

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? Right now he has to eat with silverware. Has to. Will yell and demand a fork if I don't give him one.

[ourcrazynavylife]

Age of LO(s): 15 months

Cycle/Month: C3/M5

CD/DPO: CD40 and either 7 or 9DPO

RRCS: just driving the crazy train off a cliff over here

GTKY: What is a weird quirk that your LO(s) has/have? She likes to smell shoes. Everyday when her daddy comes home and takes his boots off she goes over and smells them. She also likes to wear my flip flops on her arms. Kids got a thing about shoes.....

[siouxsieq]

Age of LO(s): 10 months (almost 11. ahhh!)

Cycle/Month: 8

CD/DPO: CD 2

RRCS: Secondary IF over here. We have to wait another month to do a second SA, and hopefully H's numbers improve. Then we will try an IUI (if we don't conceive on our own by then.) In the meantime, I'm losing lots of weight with Metformin, but it's only because I can't keep anything down for long. Ugh.

My little guy hasn't gotten the hang of dancing, but I think he gets the concept. He head bangs instead. Like, full on Wayne and Garth style head banging. He makes me laugh every day!

Here for some hand-holding.  Being a working mom is hard.  Really hard.  There are so many aspects of it that you don't even consider until you're in the thick of it, and the stress you're feeling is one of the hardest parts.  When I first came back I struggled to keep up.  I was working all hours of the night just to keep my head above water, and I was exhausted, because new baby.  I made the mistake of venting to a coworker who asked me how I was doing and immediately got a lecture on how I was giving working moms a bad name by complaining.  Ouch.

Thanks. I'm a SAHM most of the time, and I want to primarily do that. I think that's where the conflict is. I'm not really willing to jump back into working with both feet, and this half hearted part time stuff isn't cutting it for my type of work. I thought it would, but it's not. 

So many decisions.
