***General TW that this thread might contain discussions mentioning MC and loss.***
Welcome
to Waiting Room Wednesday! You can express your thoughts, feelings, and
frustrations on not TTC and connect with others who are in the same
boat. TTC can be a long journey, and having to wait makes it feel even
longer -- even if it is for a good reason.
I invite you to
resurrect this thread at any point in the month if you have something to
say. Treat this like an ongoing conversation.

Any R/R?

What brings you to WRW?
The desire for baby #2. Which keeps getting stronger daily.
I'm going to focus on the positives:
1) We successfully transitioned DS to a toddler bed in December! Yes, he sleeps on the floor of his bedroom about 50% of the time, but this is great news because it was one of the "must dos" before we started trying for baby #2.
2) DS starts at a daycare once a week this Tuesday. I'm really nervous as he has never attended a daycare before... but this is a must because DH needs once a week to get stuff done (he is a SAHD) and DS really needs to socialize more with kids. Him attending daycare is also on our "must dos" before baby #2.
3) DS's birthday is tomorrow! I can't believe he is turning 2. I'm not ready for the party yet... but we are just doing a small, non-stressful get together with family. So I just need to bake a cake/cupcakes, and get balloons blown up and then we are good to go.

So I have quite a few...
- Spend daily quality time with my son. After I get home from work, I struggle with spending meaningful time with my son. So my goal is to spend at least 30 mins per day with him playing a game, reading a book and interacting with him.
- Prioritize my relationship with my husband. DH and I struggle to find time together just the two of us. My goal is to make sure we have at least one date per month. I'm also going to take little steps to strengthen our relationship (i.e. more sexy time, more meaningful conversations, etc.) but those are harder to put concentrate goals around.
- Prioritize my health - workout 3-4 times a week and lose about 10 lbs.
- Make a monthly budget and stick to it. Also start down the process of paying credit card debt.
- Clean at least 15 mins per day.
- Spend at least 15 mins a day on "me time", so doing something I enjoy.

@darkrose88 our LOs are really close in age! 1.5 months apart. He loves daycare (also goes once a week, I SAH), hopefully yours will too. Ours says he doesn't stop smiling the entire time he's there. Love the idea of date night once a month.
When do you think you will start TTC? Jan 2021 very earliest but probably later
What brings you to WRW? Everyone around me is pregnant and I'm so happy for them but so jealous. In an "I want to be pregnant with you too!" type way.
GTKY: Probably a cliche GTKY for January but it's a good one. What are your New Years resolutions/goals for the year? I don't have any specific ones...just overall try to be a better person. I'd love to finish losing my baby weight (am now at prepregnancy weight after having DD 9 mo ago, but still have a bit to go from before I had DS 2 years ago)
