Month/Cycle? 3/3

WTO/TWW? CD 3

Ages of other child(ren)? 12, 10, 7, 3, 1

Any thoughts about this cycle? My cycles have been really long (40+ days). Maybe due to nursing. But it is making the WTO super annoying...

Any questions? Anyone have a favorite recipe to share?

Rant/Rave?

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity? Floating in a pool. Or reading a book at the beach. Both are hard to do with kids lol.

ejoseph16 · June 2023

@kbru88 what kind of recipe are you looking for? We have so many! We have been using WW recipe books to shake things up and we love it!

What number are you trying for? 2

Month/Cycle? 15/12 AL

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 3

Any thoughts about this cycle? Hopeful, but not confident. I think that happens at this point in TTC. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? Summer is here! I’m still sending DS to the sitter to keep my sanity for a bit, then I’ll start keeping him home 2 days a week to do mom things. But this school year was so hard on me, it may take a bit longer this summer! DH wants to send him to grandparents Friday since it’s likely that will be O day, or very close. I’m not going to argue! 😂

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity? We hit up the zoo as much as possible. DS loves going, and he loves all of the experiences our zoo provides! Today we went, and my mom met us. She has such a special bond with him, I love capturing sweet moments like them walking and holding hands ❤️

kbru88 · June 2023

@ejoseph16 oh maybe something Gluten Free? We like to go heavy on protein and veggies.

britters314 · June 2023

What number are you trying for? 3, but first two are adopted/being adopted

Month/Cycle? 7/7

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 4 and 5

Any thoughts about this cycle? I’m trying acupuncture, so I definitely have more hope since I’m trying something new

Any questions? Nope

Rant/Rave? All the kids’ activities are winding down for summer break and I’m really looking forward to a less busy schedule for a few months.

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity?
I don’t love summer because it’s so hot, especially recently what with global warming and all. So I guess my favorite summer activity would be swimming since it keeps me cool.

What number are you trying for? 3

Month/Cycle? 6/4

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? 4, 2

Any thoughts about this cycle? Unlikely, but would be a nice surprise!

Any questions? Any good no/low scent, non greasy, lotion recs? I get so dry in the summer!

Rant/Rave? I’m in school until June 30. It’s sooo late! Thinking we all may lose our minds by then…

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity?
Time off to hang with the kids, get caught up in house stuff, and travel! Our city is great in the summer, though, so just taking advantage of local area is so nice

inthewoods23 · June 2023

@kbru88 honestly sometimes I wish I could be this seal just doing whatever in the water without a care in the world

@ejoseph16 now that we have a LO I'm hoping we hit up the zoo a ton this summer too! We got a zoo pass after DS was born. It already paid for itself with the 3 times I went while on maternity leave. Right now DS just wants to watch all the other kids rather than the animals.

@halfanewt we have this lotion! DH is also someone who hates the feeling of lotion and such and he finds this acceptable. It's unscented.

OKeeffes Skin Repair Body Lotion Tube 7oz

What number are you trying for? 2

Month/Cycle? currently benched

WTO/TWW? WTO

Ages of other child(ren)? almost 11 months

Any thoughts about this cycle? I have my consultation with the RI in a few hours and I'm hoping the plan coordinates well with where I'm at in my current cycle. I don't believe there is anything that needs to be done at a specific point in my cycle though but I can't remember for sure if that's true.

Any questions? should I bother sending out paper invitations for DS's first birthday party? Stamps are so darn expensive. It would be easier if I could just text people or create an e-invite or FB event for it. Thoughts?

Rant/Rave? it started raining just now and I had no idea it was in the forecast. Not that it matters since I'm indoors. Honestly we really need it! Half our grass is burnt to a crisp and looks completely dead. Thanks 80+ degree highs all last week. I'm not mad though because it gave DS the opportunity for pool/water time!

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity? Road trips. Outdoor things. Bonfires. Swimming. I just love that summers are both more relaxing but more bustling with activity.

ejoseph16 · June 2023

@inthewoods23 I never do paper invites… my family functions on Facebook invites. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I also text it to our sitter (she always comes) since she’s not on Facebook.

kbru88 · June 2023

@halfanewt I second the O'keeffe lotion as a recommendation. Best lotion line I've ever found.

@inthewoods23 yup I don't do paper. I'll make a digital invite though; and either email or text that out.

halfanewt · June 2023

@inthewoods23 @kbru88 thanks! I’ll try it out!

@kbru88 This chicken arrabiata is a favorite for quick and family friendly dinner

And these ginger coconut meatballs take a bit more effort but are incredible! https://smittenkitchen.com/2019/05/braised-ginger-meatballs-in-coconut-broth/

ejoseph16 · June 2023

@kbru88 I made this one yesterday! So good!

Any thoughts about this cycle? Tomorrow is my last day of work before summer break, so I am excited for this cycle because we'll have plenty of time to get busy!

Any questions?

Rant/Rave? Today is my 5 yo's preschool graduation 😭 My baby is so big!

GTKY: What is your favorite summer activity? BBQs and swimming

britters314 · June 2023

@hedgepig We have a PreK graduation this week too! Although it’s kind of dumb IMO since some of the kids will still be in PreK again next year. But I guess it’ll be cute.

inthewoods23 · June 2023

I swear these "graduations" were not a thing when we were their age! How long has this been a thing?? So weird. Makes for a cute photo-op though
