Mid-August Testers

[Srbjbex]

Ah such exciting news about Bea!! I hope she come on to update us soon!!

Ov'ing as we speak here? We DTD last night and plan to tonight too, so fingers crossed for a Christmas BFP.

Oh my post didn't make it here.

Congrats to Bea and your lovely new baby. He looks scrummy!

Snow - great news about Kellan and congratulations on his baptism. Busy weekend here!

AFM - I think I ov'd last week but the cycle was a bit squiffy. I didn't notice EWCM when I expected it, so I think I probably missed it this month. As Im not sure where I am AF could be here anytime over the weekend. I'll test if it hasn't arrived by mid-week. Good luck to you Bex xx

My previous post was shorter than intended due to having a monkey crawling all over me at the time!

Snow - congratulations to Kellan on his christening! I hope you all had a really wonderful day!

Nic - I never see EWCM, even when I take EPO. I do use pre seed though when we BD as that mimics EWCM and helps me out too (sorry tmi!) if you have been BDing then you are in with a shot so I will keep everything crossed for you. And remember, on this thread squiffy cycles are the best ones

Hands - sounds like you have some great bargains on the black Friday deals. I didn't realise the shops here were doing black Friday until i heard it in the evening news and by then it was too late, haha!

Not the best quality... but this is Dexter Right before Thanksgiving at 16months old.

Awe. Hands! He looks so grown up! Look at those teefers! And what a little ham he is in the 2nd pic!! Super cute of the 2 of you - It belongs in a frame.

FX for your BFP squiffy cycle Nic! And FX for your BFP Bex!

Here's a pic I took this AM of Mr. Kellan and one from yesterday of the 2 of us. I really need to get some pic off the phone to post on here!!

Awwww Snow, he's so adorable with his little spiked up hair! He's getting so big. Dad must be so proud. Is Kellan playing more with Demi now that he's getting older?

 

[snowflakes120]

AF is in the house. I woke up to her this AM. Boo! But bittersweet. I guess we can def get started NTNP now and I'll have an idea of when I'll ov at least.

They get along good now hands. She's not so scared of him now. Only when he's crying. Haha. This was them a couple weeks ago.

 

[Srbjbex]

Awwww such cute pics!

Dexter looks so grown up now, and I love the one of Demi and kellan! I tried to upload a couple of pics but it said they were both too big will try and dig out some more!

Ah it's never nice when AF arrives, but positive news that your cycles have kicked back into action! Yay for NTNP....if me and Nic are anything to go by, that will soon turn into TTC!

 

[InHisHands]

I definitely have a big baby. He is wearing 3T clothing in those pictures... *cries* 17 months old... and he looks like he can go off to college at any moment.

 

[snowflakes120]

Nic - Has AF arrived?! Have you tested?!

 

[Srbjbex]

I was just logging on to ask the same question....!

 

[NotNic]

Haha! Well no real news. No AF and a BFN. I'll test again later in the week but I'm wondering if I didn't ovulate again. This is why I should be temping! Oh well. I'm quite happy to overindulge at Christmas and try again next month.

 

[Srbjbex]

Well, maybe you just ov'd a bit later? But agree with you, I feel the same as to this month as would be nice to have a few drinkies over Christmas!

 

[InHisHands]

YAY Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. I'm so excited this year because Dexter is now old enough to react to all the hype!

Nic - did you wrap the play kitchen?

What is everyone else getting their little men?

We have already put together all of Dex's presents (that way he can play with them right away if he wants to), wrapped them, and I've set aside places for all the new toys and cleared out the old ones via craigslist.

I'm so excited about Christmas this year. The first time for a while now.

 

[Srbjbex]

Still no AF here, will probably test Sunday if nothing by then even though I'm not due until Tuesday.....not going to lie girlies, I have a good feeling about this month, as am having some symptoms.....

Do you reckon I can hold out until sunday! haha!?

 

[snowflakes120]

Hands - I'm impressed with the toys being assembled and already wrapped. You go girl! We've gotten Kellan the table and a few little toys. Not too much really. I might get him a few more little things.

Oh Bex! I am excited for you to test! I really hope this is your month.

Nic - Have you tested again or is AF here?

 

[Srbjbex]

I caved and tested but it was BFN but I know it's early. Had a bit of a temp did this morning too, so my Friday optimism is rapidly in decline!

 

[InHisHands]

Awww bex... hang in there.

 

[snowflakes120]

Oh boo Bex. Maybe its still too early.

Nic - Any news from you?

I'm deciding whether to use OPK's or not... I want to keep it simple and non-stress but then again I'd like to know how long my LP is and have a round about idea of when AF would be due. Not too sure what I'm gonna do just yet.

Kellan has pretty much mastered sitting unassisted. So proud of him. Getting so excited for Christmas for him to open presents! Solids are going a little bit better, not sure if I told you guys but he's been not so excited about it. It's been a bit of a rough start but we found out on Friday that he LOVES pears. Hopefully, he'll start liking other things too! We dropped his dream feed and he continues to sleep his 12 hours. I am still using my frozen BM - I prolly have enough for another 2.5 weeks, we are going to transition to Formula over Christmas break for a slow intro.

Snow - rest be assured that research shows that it can take introducing a child up to 30 times to a new food before the child will show interest in it.

Try not to fret and keep meals low keys. If he eats, great, if not oh wells... he will eventually. They say babies and toddlers can pick up on a parents frustration and then use food as a battling ground.

Dex is a great eater, but there are still certain foods that I offer that re doesn't want to eat so I just let him leave it on his plate and don't say anything about it. Currently he loves all veggies and fruits but pickles and raw tomatoes.... but he wont eat breads. So I just keep offering a piece of bread in different ways on his plate and if he takes a bite, great, if not great. It's only a matter of time.
