Any thoughts about this cycle? Not too optimistic. I am annoyed because my last cycle was kind of all over the place and then went long.
Rant/Rave? I had some time off for the holiday. It has been so nice. I am not looking forward to starting back again at work this week.

Any thoughts about this cycle? I really, really, really hope this happens this month. I'm feeling a lot of internal pressure. Both of my living kids are September babies, so I really want another September baby. My siblings and I were all born in the same month and I have such fond memories of celebrating our birthdays together with our family (and we still do!) So I would love to have all my kids be September babies.
Obviously, I will be happy with any baby I get whenever I get a baby, but a Sept baby would be sweet icing on the cake.
Any questions? Not about my cycle.
Rant/Rave? We have too much crap after Christmas and now we need to do a toy purge. Do you involve your older kiddos in selecting which toys go? Or do you just secretly toss?

Hopefully being pregnant and wanting to move into a new house. I'm hoping we'll start the selling/buying process by March!

Any thoughts about this cycle? I’m feeling really good about it. We got great timing and my temps are rising nicely resulting in a triphasic chart.
Any questions?
Rant/Rave? My kids got so much stuff from my in-laws it is insane. When we drove home the van had stuff stuffed in every possible place. We are doing our Christmas this Tuesday because we didn’t want to bring all our stuff there and I’m glad we didn’t. We wouldn’t have gotten it all home. I went and bought all of DH’s gifts yesterday. I need to order one more thing. I’m so last minute on things like that. Gifts aren’t our love languages and they tend to be last minute thoughts or we go buy our own gifts. I think we need to do better in the future so we aren’t waiting until the last minute.
GTKY: What are you most looking forward to in 2021? Anything you are hoping will be different? I’m looking forward to hopefully getting back to normal. Not a new normal but actual normal. I want to go back to my gym and let my kids play at the pool or leave them in the daycare so I can get a massage. We gave up a membership because I have too many kids to ever get an appointment to leave them in the daycare. You can only do 48 hours in advance and there are never enough available spots because they only allow 10 kids at a time.
@dobbysfavoritesock I’m also looking forward to the virus getting under control. Sorry your break is ending.
@poodledoodleooo I do and don’t involve my kids in toy purges. I will trash stuff I know are random less played with toys but other toys I will hang on to for 30 days and if they ask for them then I give it back. If they don’t, it goes away. I also tell the kids they need to pick a certain number of toys to donate. So they are involved but I don’t think they would be able to do the kind of purges I need/want to do. Also, house hunting is both fun and stressful. We love our house we bought over the summer but the carpets were trashed by their dogs. They used them as their own person toilets. We couldn’t tell because we had to wear a mask every time we came to the house. When we finally got all moved in we couldn’t even go upstairs where the carpets were. It was so nasty smelling. Anyways, take your mask off and take some deep breathes so you can actually smell the house you plan to buy. 😆
@dobbysfavoritesock Its always so hard to go Back to work after a break. Hopefully its a light week for you.
@emeraldcity1214 my husband is not a gift giver either and my love language is receiving gifts. I send him a lot of links to things I want because he just isn’t good at it. Makes Christmas hard.

Any thoughts about this cycle? No reason to not have good vibes right now.
Any questions? Nope.
Rant/Rave? Christmas was amazing and my daughter was completely spoiled. So many toys and new things to play with. I’m excited to watch her play with all of her new things. Her favorite right now is a baby doll, which both makes my heart swell and breaks it all at once. She will make such a great big sister someday.

Hopefully adding to our family and controlling this damn virus. I’m ready to not be fearful every time I leave my house.
