Re: Weekly Randoms 4/18
How exciting! I love how the room changes when the crib goes up! Parents rock. My mom and sisters were convinced this baby would be a girl. There are 4 bags packed full of baby girl clothes at my mom's house that they now need to rehome since, it's a boy! haha
I spent most of a minute poking it. It’s not much, but it is enough for now. It’ll get there.
This week's fun with stats:

8) Other factoids:
If you don't think I'm accounting for your data (or you want to check), let me know and I'll update my spreadsheet.
First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
For today’s random… my dog’s collar latch (a carabiner ish style with a spinny coupler, see photo below) came undone when she took off after a bird because the coupler had slid down and… suddenly I had no dog. She came back immediately when I called her after chasing the bird to a fence, but I can’t help but think “What if it had been the deer family in the woods?”
She would have been gone. Her recall (coming when called) is about 50% in low-stakes situations and if there were deer, the same deer she has been ogling for months, not just a flying bird… I don’t know how I would have gotten her back.
I fixed the latch when we got home and added blue Loctite so it won’t rattle loose again. It’s a strong kind of latch and with Loctite, I’ll just still check it every now and then. I think I died inside a little bit and I feel extremely fortunate that it happened under such fortuitous circumstances.
was probably tired when I made the original I copy from, but that's an excellent point. Changing it now.
