WAYDTGKU: prenatals, temping, currently NTNP
R/R: I learned yesterday that my district received the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) award for Best Community for Music Education!! I think around 750ish districts nationally received it. The application for it is pretty long and intense but I'm super proud to be a part of my district and my community that is very supportive of the Arts! This is our second year of getting the award and it felt great to have my superintendent specifically recognize my music teacher colleagues and me on our school website. 😊

WAYDTGKU: OPKs and optimism
R/R: I feel like all of my days are blending together at this point. I started the dailies today and had to check 3x to make sure I was on the correct day of the week and month.
I can't find multiple pairs of my workout pants, which is a huge inconvenience to me because I need the compression, I can't just wear any old pair of pants when I'm doing high intensity activity. I sucked it up and ordered a few more pairs from Old Navy last night, they're having enormous sales right now. I had kind of hoped I would need maternity workout capris for this year so I had been holding off on buying any more (I only have 2 pairs of capri length, and 2 pairs of long pants and I work out at least 5 days per week) but since there's no way I would need them this season, I bit the bullet.

WAYDTGKU: clearblue advanced OPK, bbt, prenatals
R/R: I think today is O day. My clearblue test reached peak yesterday morning and since my cheapies finally came in, I tested and they’re getting lighter today! Nothing new in my part of the world, just being stuck at home. Our new puppy is doing really well, no accidents in the house yet, and he’s sleeping through the night. We decided to name him gimli from Lotr. Since he’s small and squished. Haha
CS/Q: my temps have been so consistent the past several days.. 🧐

R/R: It is so beautiful out today! Probably going to try to do some work outside this afternoon, which always makes me happy.
CS/Q: OPKs are getting darker, and I’ve been having some EWCM today and yesterday. I’m thinking it may be an early O for me this cycle...usually I don’t O until the mid-late CD 20s so we will see!
@runningoncookies enjoy the weather!

WAYDTGKU: prenatals, opks, temping
R/R: i had a rough day yesterday with announcements/gender reveals on FB and wasnt going to come on. then, as usual i decided to lurk 1st tri, december, etc and saw some threads that made me upset to just decided i was done with the day. today just feeling blah. i sternly told DH last night he needs to buckle up and HIO more diligently this cycle. lets see how that goes.
CS/Q: started officially temping today
will post pic tomorrow
@mvt2003 did you make it out for your run yesterday? i needed to clear my head so ran/jogged/walked for 5 miles in the afternoon and i felt so accomplished after. i find it hard running in pants/capris because the waist always rides down (even high waisted ones) so on my run yesterday i wore running shorts but OMG my legs are a new level of white, like see-through. maybe more outdoor running will fix that as well!
@kpearse99 sound slike a fun remodel! i have a lot of friends who are religious Phish fans. are you as well or do you just support DH in that?
@runningoncookies online therapy with your students sounds great! and that they were so excited!!
@inthewoods23 hope your hand is ok!!! but sounds fun with all the new toys! robot lawn mower sounds like something DH would want and thats such a cool concept!!! also, in regard to tampons, TW PG

WAYDTGKU: not using protection as much
R/R: Sorry I’ve been MIA all day, ladies. My sleep is still way out of whack. I wasn’t able to fall asleep until 8AM!!!! last “night” (aka this morning) and I took a four hour “nap.” I’m just so tired but my brain and body won’t let me sleep. I think I’ve gotten maybe 10 hours sleep the last three nights. Soooo tired 😴
CS/Q: again, not really taking these temps too seriously because of the lack of sleep. Focusing more on CM and CP for now
