Me and the hubby have DTD several times. We also just decided to DTD every day for 100 days! I'm not on birth control and we don't use condoms. He just pulls out. This has been the way we have done it for 4 yrs. Our DD was planned too not a surprise. I personally wouldn't be upset if I got pregnant again. We plan to start trying in a year anyway.
Like every day for 100 days? Where do you find the time? :-/

this.. would be my personal hell.
Agreed.
@NorthernLghts I think they say 24 hours, but I'm pretty sure a lot of moms use a smell or taste check. If it smells fine or tastes fine it should be good.
1) my legs just below my butt are burnt so it hurts to sit. Wahh 2) I'm currently eating tzatziki left over from when I got extra to go with my gyro and crackers yumm

My daughter thinks the world needs to see my boobs. She pulls my shirt down like so on a regular basis
That's funny :-) DD1 (almost 2) has decided my boobs are now the perfect place to store items. During church last Sunday, she kept trying to shove her hair bow down there... During the day, she tries to store toys in there. Goof.
I'm not sure I could keep up with @mommyKT310 right now. Between how exhausted I am, 3 kids (2u2) and DH's work schedule,...I feel like I barely see him. And that's generally to have supper and put the kids to bed.
Now,...before kids, or even after the first one...(a few years after).... I could have competed. I'm fairly certain there was a time that I had sex every day for at least a year. (And maybe even multiple times a day )
@Laura8388 my premie was the same way! He started the teething drooling early but when his teeth did start coming in they were 2 at a time! Yikes that was hell...
I'm glad to hear other kids aren't very good at the sitting and using their hands. I have been feeling like Will's delays are super obvious lately, but his EI insists he is actually on track. Hearing that there are other babies at a similar place helps me not see him as delayed.
(And this is where I get that paranoid feeling that people will be upset that I'm comparing my special needs baby to their typical baby.)
Ahhhh I've been worried YOU'D be offended if we compared babies! There was that whole thread where people said whose baby looks like whose and I think Artie and Will look alike but I got a paranoid feeling you'd be upset I was comparing my typical baby to your special needs one.....so I didn't say anything.
But anyway while we're comparing Artie does pretty much nothing with his hands beyond wave them around!
@pepperedmoth - I love it! I worry so much about my child being different so I love the comparisons. Will does not have a strong DS look so I'm not surprised if another kid looks like him (minus the slanted eyes). He looks just like my daughter as an infant.
I had a great dinner out with one of my besties last night. LO was pretty dang good during it too. I feel like a new person getting out and doing that. But before I left for the said dinner I was naturally taking pics of Fallyn. I decided it would be smart to stand on the frame of our bed to take a shot from above. Well my foot got caught. Cue major pain and cut and lump. I dealt with it though dinner and now after being off of it for 6 ish hours I can barely walk.... Dang it!!! Stupid big ass feet always tripping me up! Ibuprofen and ice for now

$300 per week is the cheapest I've found. $650 per week is the most expensive. It's just insane. And not really worth it. I sill have no idea what were doing in 4 weeks. Is that irresponsible? Also LO is grunting a bit but still asleep! She has never gone past 6 am.
Someone just gave us a bumbo seat and I told him we'd have to return it because they're not great for development. He said I was being crazy and I told him to look it up.
Well, now he's come across this consumers report article that says things that are unsafe. The bumbo is on their, but so are slings. He's trying to tell me to stop using my k'tan because it's dangerous.
He's also still bothering me about the gentian violet too. He just doesn't believe me that it's fine to use on myself and LO -_-
Random-ish question: do you darken the room for daytime naps!
Nope! I think it helps them differentiate between day and night, so they only have a dark room for night time. We did this for DS1 and he still will nap for 2 hours in the afternoon, and sleeps great at night.
TB is not letting me upload pictures and I have been hard at work taking selfies that I NEED to share. I am not happy with this limitation on my AW freedom.
We'll be paying $110/week for daycare, but that's only 2 days/week.
The provider emailed me her summer schedule of days off. There are 6 days I need off this summer, so I emailed my boss last week. She said she would get back to me but didn't yet. One of the days is Friday July 25th. I already asked for this day off since we're going away that weekend, but my boss said no since she already has that day off. I'm just asking again in hopes this is a better excuse.
Random-ish question: do you darken the room for daytime naps!
Nope. And my toddler is rarely quiet. He's always yelling, screaming, pressing every button on every toy that makes noise and throwing the ones that don't. LO sleeps great during the day. 1-2 hours at a time usually.
At night he has gone 5 or 6 hours, but all of my kids seem to be frequent eaters at night. And they grow like weeds. In fact, I felt like LO got a little heavier every time I picked him up yesterday.
My boss wont forbid it but warns me of problems with my employees.
Considering that all my employees love that MH already takes out their trashes for them, stocks beer and milk, and contacts me when there are issues they do like him and I'm sure will appreciate the extra help since we are all stressed with this stupid situation.
A seems to be going through 8-9 week leap and refuses to be put down. And MH is home with a 102 fever. He rarely gets sick but when he does he is completly miserable. Joy!
And on the 100 days of sex, doesn't it make it feel more like a chore to "have" to do it? Doesn't that take the fun out if it?
I have to agree with @WoodShopGirl 100 days of "having" to have sex takes the fun out of it, almost to where it becomes meaningless. Now if it just so happens you get that much action awesome, but planning that you have to have sex every day no thanks. And I love sex..
On another note good luck @FarmBoysWife hopefully your H working with you can solve some of the shit that place throws at you. I see no problem with your H working there as long as home life stays there and vice versa.
Someone had posted awhile ago that jcpenney was selling halo sleep sacks on clearance, ($8) and I just want to say I'm really happy bc I just went and they still had a bunch so I got another; I think I miscalculated what I'm going to need for the summer, at the rate LO is growing!
My child is crazy. She has no interest in leaning to roll over. Instead, she screams and cries until I stand her up. That's her new favorite thing to do. She has to stand up all the time. She also won hold onto anything but my shirt, fingers, and her other hand. She munches on her hands like a crazy woman, but is not interested in any teething toys. But I'll include a picture of her since she's so cute
Scheduled sex does end up feeling like a chore. We tried for a year for Matthew. And even those 5 ish days every month got old. So we hit every other day, because we couldn't deal. 100 days of obligation sounds awful.
People who knew we were ttc would say "have fun trying!" No, this is not fun when I have to. Sex was much better when it wasn't timed for TTC.
@Laura8388 he is so adorable! Love his smiles!
@babylimas I hope the upload works soon! I wanna see pictures. I think I'm secretly in love with you and Will.
Makes sense - we are very lovable. I actually already left work and all my selfies behind. Maybe it will be a special treat for Monday. I play on photobooth on my computer instead of working.

Ouch, hope your foot feels better.

I don't know if it makes a difference but I figured it can't hurt to try
I'm burnt but laying by the pool again anyway. Stupid redhead

Whats the saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scored".
Just replace woman with (mother trying to keep her child sleeping and you keep waking up my child with your dang motorcycle"
Hahahaha
Eta: seems like a dumb question... My instincts say yes
My boy is 11 wks today---where did that time go?!?!
We are going to buy a minivan tomorrow. We have one child. It was my husband's idea. He said we need more room for all LO's crap.

I had to stop wearing them during pregnancy because they were too tight and my hands kept going numb.
People who knew we were ttc would say "have fun trying!" No, this is not fun when I have to. Sex was much better when it wasn't timed for TTC.
But I also feel that scheduling sex around times to TTA (try to avoid) or 'pre-planning' condoms/diaphragm isn't much fun either.
Every woman should have a switch that can be flipped off when she doesn't want to get pregnant. *-:)
@FarmBoysWife how did that go--grocery shopping.
