A short "Re-introduction" (PIP)

member
It's been like 5 months since I posted, so I figured I would tell you guys what's been going on and try getting back in the swing of things. 
Mak is still EBF, learning how to make more sounds, and will start eating veggies at the end of the month. I have been TTC since September with the same KD, still no BFP. My new promotion has been going great, but if my wife doesn't get at least a part time job it's going to get tough. She doesn't want to look for work because our little girl refuses bottles and she's scared she won't eat if she's gone. My dad has been in the hospital for a couple of weeks, my grandparents took him in because he was sleeping all the time. He has a staph infection, pneumonia, plus he already has a weak heart. He was on a ventilator, but recently was taken off. Hoping he will get better, but we still don't know (he's going in the right direction though!)
Baby is inconsolable now so I'll cut this short.

Re: A short "Re-introduction" (PIP)
I was just thinking about you guys a few days ago. Glad to hear that Mak is doing well, and I'm sorry for the struggles with your Dad and the frustrations with TTC.
Nice to have you back, and hopefully you'll continue to post when you can. Trust me, we know how hard it can get to find the time ...
