Any questions? No
Rant/Rave/Brag: I’ve been off basically since the 19th and DH was off with me up until Christmas - it was so nice and we did so many fun Christmas things with DD. And now we are having so much fun playing with her new toys! We bought her those crayons that you can use on glass - we have a big sliding door in our family room going to our deck and DD and I have spent a ton of time coloring there together. It’s just been really nice, she’s at such a fun age. Starting to be her own little person but still my baby ❤️
GTKY: I’m going to do my best to stick with a consistent bedtime - DH gets up at 5 so I’m awake then no matter what, but usually just stay in bed half asleep until the last possible minute. But I’m probably not getting much more actual rest. So I’m hoping if I go to bed earlier regularly, I’ll be able to wake up with him and do something productive versus half sleeping. We’ll see haha.

@ashaislurking I feel you on the pregnancy announcements. I’ve only been trying for 2 cycles now but I’ve wanted another one for years and just haven’t felt like we were at a place financially to be able to have another baby until now. My cousin just announced shes pregnant with her second on New Year’s Eve and I was very jealous. Super happy for her too! But jealous it’s not me. 😕

@bows22 I'm so happy to hear about the wonderful things you all did on the break as a family! It warms my heart that you got that precious time together I hope your first day back to work is a quick and painless one today!
@ashaislurking ugh I hate that you're still in pain Annnnd that you'll stay that way until at least the 14th when you have your follow-up. I can't believe the follow-up was scheduled so far out when you're in this much pain. I like your new year intention of taking things in stride and not apologizing for just being you! You should never have to apologize for that
@krystrist2014 Happy birthday to YD!!! 5 really was a great age!

11/1/2020 - At peace with where things are in life and are no long actively TTC. Whatever happens will happen and it will all be okay.
@ashaislurking I found the pregnancy announcements over the holidays to be hard too. I felt bad because I already have a kid, and I haven't been trying too long yet. It still hurts though. I think that it hurts because I don't know what the future holds either.
@krystrist2014 I feel like turning 5 is a big deal! Good luck with the party planning!

@kpearse99 I hope the regroup with your RE goes well today and I'm glad you had such a great holiday with your family!
@AB518 I hope 2020 is a good year for a lot of us. Fingers crossed for you!

@kpearse99 I’m very excited for you this cycle, I’m glad you had the regrouping appointment but I’m hoping so much that it ends up being a waste of time!❤️
@AB518 I was always so hopeful with every cycle too (before I found out about my issues). It was always like, this one HAS to be the one! So I totally understand how you are feeling. Fingers crossed that this one IS it for you!
@mamasloth I want to say we bought the crayons at michaels! They are easy to clean off except when she presses really hard, so we are trying to tell her to “be gentle” but it’s still not really that bad. The bigger problem (and this is also with those markers that you mentioned) is getting her to understand which writing utensil goes on which surface! Haha. But she’s been pretty good so far. What is a CPT? Google tells me either phlebotomist or personal trainer. Both of which are amazing and things I couldn’t do haha!
@bows22 Personal trainer! It's something I've always been interested in, just never thought it would be my career until I started feeling unfulfilled in my current one.
That's a good point about the markers, our other issue is DS never puts the caps back on. And our dog eats the crayons, but what can you do? lol

@bows22 Hey, twin. DH wakes me up at 5 four days a week and it drives me nuts. I have to temp at that time when he isn’t home now and it sucks. Two is such a fun and also sometimes frustrating age.
@ashaislurking I hope they figure out your pain source quickly and that it’s easily treated. My sister had severe endo and I’ll never forget the pain she was in. She had a partial hysterectomy when she was told she was done and she feels so much better.
@mamasloth I looked into becoming a trainer and the hours can be nuts since you’re dealing with working around people’s work schedules.
