Any thoughts about this cycle? First cycle trying acupuncture, so I'm hopeful that it will make a difference.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Temps dropped down to the 50s/60s yesterday and today. My kids aren't happy about it since they can't swim or play in the sprinkler, but I need to get some yard work done and this weather is much better for that than the 80 degree weather we had been having, so I'm happy.
GTKY: Are you doing anything special for your SO for Father’s Day? H loves food, so he'll probably just want to go out to eat, but we haven't actually planned anything specific yet.
Month/Cycle? 6/4
WTO/TWW? TWW
Ages of other child(ren)? 4, 2
Any thoughts about this cycle? Nice that my body seems to be on track. Weird to just be living in natural cycle land.
Any questions? Nope
Rant/Rave? Two year molars are the worst. Excited for our upcoming weekend trip, though!
GTKY: Are you doing anything special for your SO for Father’s Day? Helping the kids make a card! We’ll be traveling, so not sure what else.

Any thoughts about this cycle? My BBT has been so rocky. Literally a zig zag up and down most of the WTO period. Wondering if I should switch to vag temping instead of oral but that would require the extra step of washing my thermometer or buying those disposable thermometer covers. Eh.
Any questions? None
Rant/Rave? DS picked up the B consonant out of the blue late last week and hasn't stopped since haha. Which is great to hear in my parent's new house that doesn't have a lot on the walls to help dampen the sound. I have a great video clip of him just "ba ba ba BA BA BA BA BA ba ba"
GTKY: Are you doing anything special for your SO for Father’s Day? No, we didn't do anything special for me for Mother's Day so he's not going to get anything special either. I didn't get my requested breakfast until the weekend after because he had a headache. I mean I will make him breakfast that morning but that's all he'll be getting.
