Vrogers - It's crazy how they can sleep well at the hospital then when you get home it's in the trash. I think it's their natural instinct to want to be close to mom! They are completely defenseless without use so it would only make sense that they cry to keep us close and their selves safe!

TTC is going to be difficult unless I can get T to completely weaned. I think he's really messing with my cycles still. My luteal phase is short. Generally it's 10 days so I guess it's on the low end of normal, but still.
 
Vroggers/ glad u r home hun. I’m sure you will get into a little routine soon. Lots of mummy cuddles. Must be amazing having her home x hope L doing ok and hope u manage to get some sleep. Xx

Ali/ thanks for earlier replies hon, I’m gonna see how things go. I’ll be having a chats this week about stuff. I just feel I need a mental break from stuff at the min..the boys are just full on and with working now it’s bit crazy juggling as u well know lol x hope your boys are ok. Good luck with the TTC you never know you might get lucky xx I can imagine it being difficult to wean T bless him x you’re a supper mummy ! X

My boys are doing ok, I’ve had to leave work today as teen not been great. Been to docs and he has been given medication for ibs and migraine. He has also been referred to urology as he is having problems with his man bits. Not cool discussing it with your mum there but i knew he wasn’t going to say anything in doctors so I just mentioned it and got a look from him ha.. he is glad I did now though as he has been referred. Think his foreskin is tight but he is 15 so hates talking about private stuff. I’ve just normalised it for him and he seems better about it now though.. going shopping now b4 getting O from nursery , hope all other ladies and little ones are doing ok x
 
The boys are doing well! O is loving school. He has been doing really well, but he has bad times during the day and an occasional bad day. They are trying to get him to 95% appropriate behavior and last I knew he hasn't had a day under 74%. He's just so stubborn. He will just lay on the floor and refuse to do anything. He can do that for up to 10 minute for them till he finally gives. He's actually in the grade ahead of him at this moment, till next year. Which saddens me because if he's made friends they're all going to be gone! He's young, though, so he'll adjust fast.

T is doing well. He's talking more than even last time I was mentioning it. Something I'm not use to for sure. He's taken to hitting and biting. He's only bit me once and tried to get me a couple of other times and bit O once. Really hoping I stop it quickly. He is a real sweetheart, though! If I'm covering my face and "crying" he'll come over and pull my hands away and hug me. I'm behind on his appointments. Just got his insurance in so I need to get that ball rolling again. Changing providers.

There isn't much going on for me. We're drowning in medical bills right now. Really need another vehicle so I'm trying to figure something out.
 
Ali/ glad boys doing ok, good that O is enjoying school, shame he is going to be moving to a different class but like u said they adjust quickly. My ds was at a nursery from 12 Months and then we had to take him when he was three to one attached to the school he would be attending. I was dreading it as the set up was much more structured that his nursery with a little uniform and bigger class group. He did adjust quite quickly x

I thought My little O was starting to bite this week, but think we got away with it for now.. think it’s on the horizon though 😬I’ll be keeping an eye for that one.. he is just getting more confident everyday and def knows what he wants.. he will have little moods if he doesn’t get his own way. Don’t know how u manage with T but my I won’t leave his big brother alone lol 😆.. ds goes get stressed with it at tines. Our front room is quite big as it’s two rooms knocked through but it makes no difference lol.. where ever ds is O is straight behind him most of time holding back if his jumper..

Weather is loverly here this weekend but O has developed a cough 🙁so was up with him a lot in the night, planning on having a chill day today , maybe get some jobs done in the garden .. she says ! We will c !!

Hope all other ladies and babies doing ok x
 
finally getting on, so sorry ladies, my thesis is due end of May and it;s just been super busy. Hope you are all ok.

vrogers- glad u are home from hospital and hope u are adjusting well to life with two <3 In the early weeks, it's hard not to sleep with them on you, i just recall sleeping the whole night with Isa on my chest. Enjoy the precious moments. How is L doing and adjusting?

apple- have u managed to organise the mornings better? Glad oh has been chatting more, it's a good start. I'm glad u are putting yourself first and not doing everything. Hope all this works out well for you. Big hugs. O sounds adorable, getting his own little personality now

ali- good luck with TTC, i think everyone on this thread is eagerly waiting for your ttc updates hehe. Glad boys are well and good.

afm- all is good here, just mega busy, few weeks left till my thesis is in so i;m pretty stressed out. Isa is doing great, sleeping mostly well, and walking a lot more now. He still crawls but will also just stand up and walk to the other room. His walking is just adorable. He loves birds at the min, anytime we are out and he sees one, he has to point it out- multiple times. He;s defo getting his own little personality, doesn't like it when he doesn't get what he wants. A couple of times in frustration he has hit me. I pretended to cry and he started crying too and hugged me. Ah hes such a sweetheart.

anyway guys, i think i;m not going to be online until my thesis is in. Maybe a couple of quick sneaky posts. Hope u all have a good few weeks, and i look forward to catching up soon!

Well as for TTC.. still waiting to ovulate. Trying to focus on weight loss till I finally conceive. I would rather conceive sooner rather than later, but at the same time if it doesn't happen it always gives me another month to lose some more weight! I finally found some willpower to do it. I don't know why, but not matter how BAD I want to lose weight.. I just can't seem to stick to it. I basically have to come to a point and when I get there it's not so bad. Nothing has changed, but I'm just able to do it. Maybe it's because it's getting nice out? Like.. the whole sun making me have a better overall mood making this kind of thing easier. Who knows.

Ally - Haha! I love that you cry when he hits you. I might try that next time, because T does the same when I fake cry. Well he doesn't cry, but he pulls my hands away from my face and gives me a hug. T hits out of frustration and extreme anger. He hasn't hit for "just because" same with biting.. comes from those extreme emotions. So hopefully it'll pass as he starts to get better control and cooping techniques.

Apple - Thankfully with T he seems to have a lot of independent time and doesn't bother his brother all too much. A lot more parallel play than actually playing with. O actually gets upset at times, because he wants him to play with him and he won't. Seems like a lot of our kiddos are starting to hit the tantrum stage. Which really for me it's nothing new because I've been getting attitude from T since before 6 months old!

AFM - So, first off I don't think I said it yet.. but I'm pretty sure T is left handed! Sure it could change, but he favors his left something fierce. I will hand him a fork or spoon and he will take it with his left. If he takes it with his right he will almost instantly flip to left. Sometimes he attempts with his right and he just kind of stares at it for a second before he flips back to his left. You can tell he isn't comfortable using his right to try to eat with a fork. While he was in the womb at my 20 week ultrasound the tech had said something about him favoring his left. So I'm interested to see if he is! I'm almost certain he is.

He continues to be strong willed. I have to continuously pull him away from doing things I've told him over a million times to stop. He thinks he is so sneaky sometimes. He knows when I tell him, but he will stare me dead in the eye.. smile.. and do it. Half the time he says "Hooray!" like he achieved something grand.

Right now he's dancing to a song on Moana. He loves that movie.. He's actually singing this time! It's cute.

O is well. We have till the end of the month for school. He may get summer school depending on how they feel about it all. If they think he will be ready to be on his own after summer school he will get it. If they feel it's going to take him longer they'll probably hold off on summer school. He loves it so much he'll miss school I'm sure.

I'm hoping I have a better day today. Yesterday I couldn't will myself to do anything. Felt down in the dumps all day. I ate nothing but junk. Not a single meal. I ended up going to sleep after DH got up and just stayed in bed till he left.
 
Ally/ nice to hear from u hon x glad Isa is doing ok, he sounds super cute ! Not long now before u complete your thesis. It will be worth it in the end :) look forward to catching up when it’s all done x just in time for summer !! Hope u managed to get out in this loverly weather we have been having x

Ali/ T sounds a little character &#128512; I smiled when u said he looks u in the eye then does it anyway , reminded me just if Ollie, he does that all the time. Cheeky boy lol.. it’s hard to try and keep a straight face because they look so cheeky yet so cute &#128514;..
I’m with you on eating the junk ! I’m terrible if I’m not in a great mood I always pig out in rubbish, I’m determined this week though, I agree with you with the better days. I’ve been walking lots more in the evenings just with O in the pram, it’s been a really good wind down after stressful days..
Fingers crossed for the ttc but like u say if u can focus on healthy eating it would be nice to lose a bit if u want to whilst u r waiting for your BFP ,I’ll keep popping on for update :) come on ovulation !! &#128521;

We have had a nice weekend here. I’ve not discussed anything with oh, I’m still feeling a bit pissed inside but just have not got the energy for anything so leaving it for now. My priority was just having nice weekend with the kids which we have so that’s ok.
O has had a horrible cough but hoping it’s starting to pass.

The sunny days do make a difference to both mine and oh mood so it’s been nice to get out.
O is doing great, saying hiya now and waving and bye but that’s it lol.. he definitely understands No but just stares at you and always pushes his luck lol .,he is a little monkey with food at the min just chucks everything off his high chair. He will just stares at you then will throw something off . He does it out of his pram as well, as soon as he has finished he just throws it, usually Into dirt &#128514;I laugh but it can be annoying !
Ds back at school tomorrow after long weekend off so expecting moody pants on the morning ! Ha.. he will be fine though he always is x

Anyway better go as O staring to wake, hope u r all doing ok x oh forgot to say we cut Os fringe for the first time the other day as it was near his nose lol .. it aged him 6 Months was really funny ha x
 
Apple- I hope O’s cough goes away. No fun when they’re sick. And hope the biting stays away! We haven’t had to deal with that but like I’ve seen others mention we’ve had L hit when she’s tired/frustrated.

Ally- thank you! L has been throwing some crazy tantrums lately but that could also be because she’s cutting multiple teeth and her eczema has flared up. She doesn’t pay much attention to the baby other than to giggle when the baby cries, or if she notices dh holding the baby she has to get in his lap too (thankfully she doesn’t do that with me).
L loves birds too! It’s so cute.
We’ve had the hitting when she’s frustrated or over tired, I may have to try your idea and pretend cry to see what she does.
Good luck with the thesis, I’m sure you’re ready for that to be over with! Is it on anything in particular?

Ali- at least you have a good plan with ttc. I’m with you on the weight, I said after I had this baby I would be eating better to lose all the baby weight over the past 2 years, but I’m terrible at sticking to it!
The left handed thing is interesting! I need to pay attention and see which one L prefers. I hope you’ve had a better day today! I hate when I get into a funk where I just want to stay in bed.

Afm- had my 2 week follow up today, my incision is healing well and we talked about birth control, I’m probably going with the copper IUD, just waiting to hear if ins covers it completely.
I forgot how exhausting cluster feeding is. With L, she was mostly bottle fed from the beginning so dh could help out in the evenings but now obviously it’s all on me. She’s such a little chunk! She also keeps trying to sleep at least 4 hours at night, if I let her I’m pretty sure she would do two 4 hour chunks. She has a weight check Wednesday and if she’s back to her birth weight I’ll be letting her sleep and just pump in between instead of having to wake a sleeping baby!
My dad and his wife got L this Elmo sprinkler toy, and she has been carrying it around with her since she got it. It’s the cutest thing because it’s like half the size of her. I’ll say “where’s Elmo??” And she will look for it and find it. Crazy how fast they learn!
Today was my first day alone with the two little ones but wasn’t too bad since I had my appt and dh came home early.
I think that’s about it here? Mainly just a cluster feeding newborn and teething, tantrumy toddler!
 
Vroggers we must have posted at same time lol x glad your first day went ok on your own x I will post properly again later hon x
 
Apple- I didn’t even see that you had posted just before me, I’m sorry!
It’s funny how they start doing something they shouldn’t and get told no and look at you like “I’m not doing anything” sometimes L even does things she knows she shouldn’t (like climb up dh’s recliner) and looks at us before we even say no. This age is pretty fun!

Afm- E had a weight check today, she passed her birth weight (she was born 8 lbs 11 oz, left the Nicu at 7 lbs 15 oz and is now 8 lbs 12 oz) so I feel better about letting her sleep over 3 hours at night now. She eats constantly during the day though!
L claps when we ask her to or when we say “good job!” and can blow kisses when she feels like it. She still gets into EVERYTHING and is a climber. She’s finally napping in her crib (she fights it more than when we rocked her but usually eventually falls asleep) since we brought E home she has been taking one long nap.
 
Vrogers - Haha.. such a great age for exploring! T is very much into everything. He knows to push chairs around to get to places he can't reach. It's real fun..... T will spank butts. If you tell him to spank his butt he'll either pat ours or pat his own. It's funny. O goes up and pats T's butt saying "Shake a butt! Shake a butt!" We don't spank them other than as a joke. Which seems like a silly joke to play, but baby bottoms are too cute not to pat! T think's it is great anyways.

Oh T was actually trying to snap his fingers earlier. He was doing it right, too! Just couldn't get enough force to make a sound.

T naps in his crib, but we put him to sleep first. He will do 1-2 naps a day depending on when he woke up. So today he woke up after 8, so he'll only take 1 nap which he is currently doing. If he wakes up before 7 he usually gets a short one in, in the morning. I prefer the 1 nap because if he gets 2 in he sometimes is hard to get to bed.

It is crazy how fast they learn. They know SOOO much more than they let on. T often points me to something I ask him about if it's familiar. He "hides" things and I have to tell him to go get it. Although, he lost something and I still have yet to find it!

Also, glad E is doing so well!! That's great that she's sleeping well already. Hopefully it sticks!

Apple - Hope you get a chance to talk to OH soon! It sucks holding stuff in.

T sometimes throws stuff off of his highchair. Usually to feed the dogs. He is such a good eater that unless he doesn't want something he usually doesn't share haha. O usually loves school so thankfully he isn't generally moody to go back. Although, today was bad! Probably because we woke up 10 minutes before we had to leave. Felt like a horrible mom! He didn't get breakfast! Thankfully they get a snack there, but ugh! I forgot to set my alarm and usually they wake up before 7. Not today.

AFM - I was sick the last two days and that was no fun. I started feeling extremely tired and just generally not well Tuesday evening while at work. Summed it up to me just having a bad spell. Been having those on and off and not sure what is up. Usually I perk up, but I didn't. Had found out during lunch that T was sick all day. When I get home I start feeling nauseated and I continued to not feel well till this morning when I finally started feeling normal. Thank goodness. I was so extremely tired. Poor T woke up in the middle of the night before last and threw up all over us and the bed. Poor boy woke up saying "Oh no, oh no, oh no" which has been his thing lately. I didn't think he was just going to throw up all over us. Poor buddy. He had no appetite yesterday, but finally does today! I'm super hungry as well since I hardly ate the last two days.

I should be ovulating in the next 5 days. So hoping I can find some time with the hubby. Going to be hard since I work this weekend.
 
Ali- I agree, baby butts are too cute not to playfully spank!
I actually prefer one nap as well, much easier to fit things in the schedule.
Oh poor T! I hope everyone feels better by now, no fun being sick especially when they’re that young and can’t understand.
Yay for ovulating! I can’t believe you could be on here telling us you had a positive pregnancy test so soon! Exciting!

Afm- I shouldn’t have bragged about E’s good sleeping. She had been giving us up to 4 1/2 hours, but last night she would NOT sleep. It’s like she suddenly decided to hate the rock n play because she would fall asleep while eating and then wake back up fussing as soon as we put her in the rock n play. I’m not sure what we’re gonna do if she decides to completely boycot the rnp and bassinet! I ended up sleeping with her beside me while feeding her on and off and it was awful crappy sleep. I forgot how hard newborns are for how little they do!
It’s so quiet on here lately, I hope everyone is doing okay including our ladies who haven’t been able to update in awhile!
 
Hi ladies just quick post , just say in drs with my teenager so thought I’d check in, been waiting ages so annoying !! He has a bad cough, seems to always be Poorly lately ,

O is doing great, really confident little thing, trying to make a most of these younger days as I know he is our last &#128577; , still not saying much but getting clearer saying hi and bye bye ha .. still cheeky monkey , he has started a new thing where he will refuse to move his feet when walking him somewhere , he does it on way into nursery lol.. then once at the door he legs it in , like he has made it a little game , he isn’t stressed or anything just gives you that blank stare , seeing how far he can push then laughs at you &#128514;


Better go now will reply to all properly late x
 
Vrogers - Those newborn days are so unpredictable. I think that alone brings me anxiety! Basically have to take one day at a time. Hopefully she's sleeping better again. Maybe she was hitting one of her growth spurts?

I'm really hopeful this round! I don't know why, but I am. First positive was on Friday I believe and I BD'd 2 times on Saturday and then again on Monday. So heres to hoping.

Apple - Children are so funny at what they make games out of! T has some silly games himself. Hope the cough resolves soon!

AFM - So.. my weekend starting Friday was CRAP! So I call my dad just to check in on him. He's a truck driver and I was 1) Testing my phone (the speaker in it is junk when talking on the phone so I can't hear a thing!) and 2) To ask about bringing the tiller. If I want a garden it needs to get started. Well he was saying he wasn't feeling the best. Lots of gastric pain that won't go away. My step mom told him she thought his gallbladder went bad. He's had these on and off for a long time and figured it finally was just done. While talking to him he's saying he has to go to the doctor when he gets back from his load today because it's just too bad. My father NEVER goes to the doctor. We talk a bit, find out my stepmom is in at the ER with her mom. She had a probable stroke. Told my dad to keep me updated, yadda yadda. Fast forward. I end up taking my dad to the ER, same hospital that my stepmom is at with her mom so they can be close if he goes into surgery, they get him in right away. So.. he's having a heart attack.. GREAT. He's been having on for awhile thing which is no good. This team of 7 people are in working on him and he's whisked away to the cath lab in less than 10 minutes. He gets out and he's doing okay. I decide since my stepmom is there I'm going to go home and get some sleep. I need to see my family anyways because I'm all sorts of messed up in the head. I get a call on the way home that my stepmom's mother isn't going to make it. She has a massive brain bleed.

So in 1 day I found out my dad had a pretty bad heart attack which he almost had to have open heart surgery for. Then my grandmother is going to die. That woman wasn't in my life forever but she instantly claimed me as one of her own grandchildren the day she met me.

So yeah, had a rough weekend. She's passed and at rest now and my dad is getting discharged today. One of my brothers is almost here from Florida. I'm okay.. it's just been a shock.

So some better news. Took the boys to the pool yesterday and they loved it. O took awhile to really get into the pool without thinking he had to be clinging to one of us. T on the other hand quickly got very brave! We would go back and forth between pool and hot tub. My top was getting loose and so I was adjusting it. He was at the edge of the pool standing there and then all the sudden he turns around and scoots on down into the pool without me being there to grab him. I mean I was close so no big deal (they had vests on as well), but he didn't skip a beat and kept on doing it! So really hoping to get them into the water more often this summer. Going to look for a more proper vest for T. The one I have works pretty good, but doesn't do a good job of helping keep his face from going into the water. That way he can do some more swimming on his "own" without me holding onto him. That way I can just stand by him and help as needed.

Alright, I better get some more of this fun spring cleaning done.
 
Omg Ali &#128577;that is a crappy weekend hon ! So sorry to hear about your grandma and your dad. I’m sure you are mentally exhausted hon .. hugs xx hope your dad is feeling better soon. Glad your brother is coming over to help out. Is that the brother that used to live with u ?

Glad the boys liked swimming..we had a vest thing for ds when we went to Spain , he went in the little pool and it tipped him over face down in the water..&#128547; I then realised I had put the little floats in wrong ! Silly mummy lol .. poor thing wondered what was going on haha..

Good luck with the TTC this cycle , fingers crossed for u x

Vroggers/ sorry Es sleep isn’t the best at the min. I bet it’s loverly having her home. Hope you are not finding it too tiring. How’s dh finding it? You do forget how much energy they take even though they don’t do a lot.,
yes it’s definately quiet on here lately , I’m sure people will get on when they can. I’ll def keep popping on and updating even if sometimes it’s a couple of weeks. I know Ally has a lot on with uni work at the min from memory, and people are starting new jobs , I was wondering how lit was getting on and hoping V got settled in a nursery :) how is L settling with E, does she still have her little dolly. It’s funny actually as my friend has just given O a little blue pram with a little dolly in and he loves it takes it everywhere, I’ll have to try and get a pic on, I can never manage it with my phone.

Update/ Dr said my teen just had a virus, it’s so hard to get antibiotics these days, I had an idea that was going to be the case., O,s cough seems to be getting a little bit better but still a way to go..

Things settled with oh at the min , I just haven’t got he energy to discuss things really, it’s just hard as the most difficult part at the min is my family and I know my friends agave lost faith in him, but I’m not chucking the towel in yet, I’ve got a teen in the middle of his GCSEs exams, O is a handful when with ds, and I’m in the middle of setting up a new business with my colleague. Unfortunately she is going through a potential breakup at the min so we are kind of supporting each other. I’m just getting my head straight and I’ll make a decision if I need to. I can’t be influenced by other people. We have two babies and I don’t feel I can give up yet. It would be easy if I didn’t love him but I do so I’ll see how we go on but I’m determined I’m not putting up with any crap &#128547;

On a more personal note I’ve booked myself in with private hospital for my initial consultation for my boob job ! I’ve wanted one for years, my little family is finished after O so thought sod it im booking in lol..I want it done in jan, hoping I’ll have this gall bladder out of the way by then., I’m doing things for me ! X

Hope u all are ok and other ladies that haven’t got on for a while x
 
Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I missed Elizabeth’s birth! Congratulations, VRogers! I am so incredibly happy for you! Sounds like a stressful birth & nicu stint but I am so glad she’s doing so well now! Congrats again!

Ali - sounds like a horrible weekend. So sorry about all the health problems in your family. It must be a very difficult time.

AFM - so busy and stressed by life lately. Feel like there’s no time to breathe, let alone get on here. Violet is finally walking full time. She is saying more words and is very adorable as always haha.
 
Ali- I am so sorry about the crappy weekend and health problems! I hope your dad is feeling better by now and this weekend is more uneventful. How’s TTC going?

Apple- dh is doing great to help with L! He bathes her and gets her to bed by himself every night since that’s prime cluster feeding time for E and I can’t put her down. He also holds the baby each evening so I can shower before he gets one, as well as changing diapers when I ask. Overall there’s not much for him to do with the baby since he can’t feed her but I don’t know what I would do if he didn’t pick up my slack so much with L!!
I admire how dedicated you are to oh and how hard you are trying! I hope he sees that too. Let us know how the boob job consultation goes! I’m glad you are doing something that you want that is just for you!!

Literati- no worries, we are all busy! Thank you for the congrats! How are your girls and your job?

Afm- I haven’t forgotten about you ladies! It’s been hectic of course as It seems to be for all of us!
E is sleeping okay for being a newborn, but we’ve taken to co sleeping which I said I’d never do. It helps me actually sleep and feed her easier. L is quite difficult at the moment although I know she’s been through a lot the past month. She’s in a nap strike, literally just won’t nap. I still put her in her crib for at least an hour but she usually spend the whole time switching between playing, screaming and crying. She also fights bedtime so long and hard that she generally isn’t asleep until 9:30-10 no matter what time she goes down. She’s generally happy and independent running around during the day, it’s just sleep times that are so frustrating and exhausting. She also gets frustrated when the baby cries and will do this loud yell, poor thing.
Day time is mostly feed the baby, try to get her to nap (swaddle with white noise in our bedroom away from toddler) in between taking care of L. There’s obviously no set routine and things get chaotic when they both need something at the same time but it’s not TOO bad. It helps that L is an incredibly independent toddler and barely acts like she knows what’s changed. Definitely ready for E to be older and mobile and able to interact with L though!
 
Apple - Yay for boob job! lol I think the only thing I'd ever have done is a lift. Probably won't, though. I'm too stingy with money!

Lite - Was so happy to hear from you! Then I never posted. I get it on feeling busy. Things just got busy here once O started school. I don't know if he's doing summer school or not. So if not it's done Tuesday. He loved it so I'll feel bummed for him. I bet Violet is just too cute! T is a little talker already.

Vrogers - Don't beat yourself up over co sleeping. Being a parent to a newborn is hard. I bet it's especially hard with a demanding toddler! The way T is I couldn't imagine having a newborn along with it.

Hopefully L starts to settle into everything. I think it would probably be best for you to go with the flow at this point haha.. maybe set a routine when E starts to get a little more predictable. I still mostly go with the flow.

AFM - My dad is doing well. Hard to say what long term problems he will have, but at the moment he feels relatively normal. He may have to get a new job. He won't be happy about that one.

As for TTC. I'm currently 12 DPO. Generally AF would show up up 11 DPO. No sign of her. It could be that my LP is trying to lengthen. BFN on tests the last two days. They were internet cheapies so we shall see. I was pretty sure of this month, but now I'm thinking I'm out.

T is doing well. Talking a lot (at least it seems like a lot to me!) I easily count 10+ words, but he is constantly saying new words. Last night he started to say bed and trying real hard to say Maisie and got really close!

We went to a new pediatrician for him yesterday. He's a bit of a chunk haha.. no surprise. She told me to caution giving him juice and watch his food because of family history and because he's a chunk. Although, so was O and now I don't feel he's overweight at all, but I guarantee his BMI is high. I hate that they use that because honestly.. the kid is solid without much extra fat if any at all. T also looks lighter than O at his age.

I of course lied about co sleeping. When they come at me like "He's sleeping in his own crib in his own room" I'm instantly thinking they're going to be very judgy if I say otherwise. So I just agreed although I said his crib was in my room. Oh the horrible judge I would get if she knew I had both my kids in bed with me :haha: More like my kids have my bed. I swear I end up sleeping at the foot of the bed 90% of the time.

She seemed good so far, though. I mean.. they're going to be a little annoying no matter what I think. No one likes to be told to do something other than what they're doing. I'm not worried about his diet. He eats anything you put in front of him so he eats a lot of vegetables. He eats a lot, but he's a growing child. Only thing I may change up is doing more egg whites instead of whole eggs. Do only one whole. He loves his eggs in the morning. He drinks maybe a "cup" of juice a day.. which literally is like 2-4 oz of juice at most because we water it down. I do need to try to get both of them to drink more just plain water. O has just been so against it since day 1 of starting cups. So, honestly what do you do when your child would straight up refuse to drink water but would drink "juice" that is only 1/4 juice and the rest water. I don't think that's such a bad thing haha

Don't worry ladies.. I'll be posting here first if I get a BFP. I don't think I will, though. Although.. with both boys I did get later BFPs. So who knows.. maybe.
 
I hate TTC! CD1! Going to not stress so much about it this cycle.

So, last night I took T to our room. Put him in the crib with a cup (he promptly threw it out twice) and told him to lay down and go to sleep. I laid down where he could see me. He whined a bit, but I reassured him. He went to sleep on his own in his crib!! Slept for an hour and woke up. I hushed him and told him to lay back down and go to sleep. Not moving from my spot. He got super sad and cried really hard and I again reassured him and he only did it for like a minute then laid back down and went to sleep. Slept the rest of the night. Like.. did I struck gold or did I just get lucky for one night?! Time will tell.

Last time he breastfed was yesterday morning.. going to probably cold turkey him if I can. I think it would be harder if I let him have it. I won't lie.. I really miss it already! I just want one more cuddle time with him feeding :haha: I'll stay strong unless it distresses him too much.

Hoping if I completely wean him my fertility will increase.
