    WAYDTGKU: benched for a few more days

    R/R: DH's boss grows zucchini and apparently they got out of control this year. She asked if we wanted some any I said yes, thinking I'll make some zucchini bread. Holy sh*t, the size of the zucchini he brought home. Describing won't do it justice so I'll include a picture. I'm pretty sure I can make 6 loaves from this one zucchini! Other items incident in picture for scale. So yeah, that'll be a project this weekend.

  • @gingermama29 i have seen some big zucchini this growing season but I think that one wins! 

    Month/Cycle: 2/2

    WAYDTGKU: BBT, PNVs, CP, CM, HIO EOD, ED

    R/R: DH was in call today and of course they called him in at 1:20 am. 😭 Was really hoping he’d get a surprise day off! I feel bad because we were up a little late to make time to HIO. Although my lingerie came in yesterday a week early, so that helped some! Was hoping to go pick out new flooring but not without DH, so I guess that will wait. My PM OPK was damn near positive so we’ll see what this am’s looks like to see if I surged overnight and missed it or if peak/positive is today.

  • @gingermama29 OMG those are huge!!! all my zucchinis died.  i have one lonely eggplant and more tomatoes than i could ever eat, but they aren't ready yet anyway.  also i sincerely appreciate the MULTIPLE size referenced you had in the photo!! more importantly, yay for just a few more days on the bench!

    @chindimples04 either way your timing looks excellent! Fx for O!

    WAYDTGKU: all the things

    R/R: TGIF! we have a busy weekend ahead.  DH's niece's bday party is this weekend and i offered to help my SIL out setting up saturday for the party Sunday.  i think theyre getting an inflatable water slide?!? i literally just slathered on self tanner this morning so i dont reflect in the sun (to add, is just immediate family but they wanted to make it special for her)

    CS/Q: temps dropping, nothing pretty yet

  • @gingermama29 DH and I are growing zucchini for the first time this year and had no idea how out of control it would get! We picked one a week ago that was literally bigger than my head. So far it has made: 4 loaves of zucchini bread and zucchini fritters and we still have some in the fridge! And on top of that we have currently 4 other good size ones sitting on our counter. We are legitimately eating zucchini every single day. 

    @chindimples04 hoping O is soon!!

    @asf0613 sounds fun!!

    WAYDTGKU: temping, tracking CM, OPKs, PNV, baby aspirin, progesterone after O

    R/R: Happy Friday all! I haven’t been working on Friday’s because of summer school hours, but I have to get some stuff done today. At least it’s gross outside here so it’s not like I’d be doing anything fun anyway. I went for a run this morning and thought I was just going to absolutely melt with the humidity.

    CS/Q: I would love to say my OPK was darker this morning but it 100% was not. Just gonna keep hangin out here forever I guess haha

    @runningoncookies those temps though! So consistent (which I know may be annoying but DANG). 
    @asf0613 I nannied first a family one summer that had an inflatable water slide. It was awesome! Sounds like a great time will be had!

    Finally hit a positive OPK this morning. Will probably be my peak as it’s the darkest one I’ve seen from myself! Feeling such relief! 

    ETA tag that didn’t save for some reason!

  • @chindimples04 the consistency of my temps makes me laugh every morning! I’m weirdly proud of them even though I wish I could just O and move on lol!!
  • @runningoncookies exactly my thoughts. I had the same temp two days in a row and just giggled, can’t imagine 5 days in a row.

    @gingermama29 oh man, that zucchini is nuts! 

    @chindimples04 yay for O!!

    @runningoncookies good for you for getting out on a run! I used to live in humidity and got pretty used to it. I remember my friend who'd been interning in California struggling to run when we studied abroad in London b/c of the humidity. I've now lived in CA for 9 years and when I go visit family in New England I totally understand. It's hard to breathe when the air is a good part water 😂 I feel like I can get used to anything. The below freezing temps also hurt my lungs now but when I ran winter track growing up running outside was NBD. It took me a few runs to get used to wearing the mask but now I walk in the door and forget it's on at the end of my run 🤷

    @asf0613 omg will you go on the water slide?? That sounds fun!

    Phones going to die on our coffee outing so I'll be back later to give my updated )not much going on)
