  QOTW: so far we have three separate family things for Easter. Two Easter weekend, and one the weekend after. And a play date Good Friday. Surprisingly, no drama on hubby's family, plans went smooth.

  I forgot it was Hump Day again already!  @Robeano H really does look like such a big girl in that pic!!!
  
  QOTW: My parents are coming in town for Easter weekend.  We are doing maternity pics on Saturday, and hopefully going to the zoo on Sunday. 
  
  Here is my big girl helping mommy bake for the first time!  She had so much fun, and I'm disappointed with myself that this was the first time I let her help.  She did a great job.  Although she did slightly burn the bottoms of the first batch of cookies.  Apparently she's not very good at setting the timer!  (Obv just kidding, she did not touch the oven in any way.)

  Here is my sweet little Molly with her smash cake! She was a total crank the day of her party......until she got her smash cake, which she loved.
  
  Easter - it's like you put the drama part in just for me what else is new in my world when holidays are involved looks like we will be at my in laws (with a visit to my dad first) since DH refuses to go to my moms until a few issues be feel wronged in are resolved. I could scream, at all parties involved. So looks like there is an ugly convo coming my way Btwn my mom and I. Can't wait. (Heavy sarcasm)

  JBDamonM lol about the drama. No I wasn't picking on you specifically, but I do see there tends to be a lot of drama with family regarding holidays. This is a great place to vent

  Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
  All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!

  I've been MIA here lately, just catching up every couple of days, but going back to work two months ago has really kick my butt. O is doing well at daycare and I've been planing his 1st birthday party that's in less than two months which is over the top (#sorrynotsorry) but I'm having so much fun doing it! Here is my little guy out for a walk this past weekend.

  QOTW: we ALWAYS have IL holiday drama! I told my MIL that we had plans already (and we did). My aunt was going to come down from NH but now she is going to see her son in MN instead. I'm still going to cook for me, DH, DD, and my dad. I'm sure my brother and his wife wont come....sign...that's another story. Anyway, DH and I want nothing to do with his one sister right now. She said all kinds of nasty things behind my back at the last get together when I (very kindly) asked my one of my other SILs not to ask us about when were were getting pg again :-/ I told DH I'm going to punch her in her ovaries the next time I see her
  
  Sorry for that tangent!
  
  We were enjoying the mild weather! We got a very cute video of A not wanting to step on the grass for the first time
