This past week, G was running in the house (after his sister, who should have known better). A BIG no-no. He tripped on the transition from the carpet to the hard wood flooring and bit his lip, bumped his cheek, and received a [lovely] black eye. He is on the mend. It looks like I beat him up.
Ironically, for two days straight, he would not take off his devil horns
-
@skinnycow: She is adorable!
-
@Kaohinani: She has the chubbiest cheeks and I'll be so sad when they go away one day!
-
@Kaohinani: Awww poor guy!
-
Puppies, babies, POAS pictures, quizzes, and ANY sort of good news makes this board so much more fun and uplifting during the TWW.
Incidentally, am I the only lady with brown-eyed children? Lol. (I have hazel eyes and hubby has nearly black eyes... both kids have dark brown). Everyone who has shared, thus far, has babies with gorgeous blue eyes! -
@skinnycow: He barely fussed even as we were cleaning all the blood from his mouth. He threw a tantrum for a Dole fruit pop afterwards, though!
-
@Kaohinani: Anytime!
SΓ€de is a three and a half year old Australian cattle dog. She is a light in my life and a pain in my backside.
Your pups are cute! Love the names too.
And "Mama's bad boy" lol!@Yellowbeach: Adorable! Love the eyes and the curls. The photographer has done a great job capturing her beautiful smile too.
@Sams mom: Great pics and descriptions. He seems like a lovely little handful.
@Skinnycow: Such a sweet girl!
Everyone has such cute kids. Can't wait to have my own. My pup is pretty cool too tough, I can live with that for now.
I just had an extra 50 min break at work. The power went out from the whole building and we just sat here twiddling thumbs until it came back.
-
@yellowbeach: She is adorable! I just love her curls too (as always, this pin straight haired girl has always wanted curls)
@skinnycow: Those chunky cheeks are just too cute, I love the denim romper too
@Kaohinani: Ha, I can see my son wearing devil horns. The funny thing with the eyes is I have hazel eyes, but my sisters, dad, and his whole family have light blue eyes. My mom has grey eyes, and her family has hazel to deep blue eyes; and my husband has bright lighter blue eyes... So my son had pretty high odds of getting them.
@paranundrum: She is a cutie! My great uncle used aussies and border collies for his cattle dogs, so I get a little nostalgic when I see one. And yes! He is a handful and his saving grace is he's cute... and I'm pretty attached to him.
-
@Kaohinani: blue eyes with a side of peanut butter
-
@paranundrum: I thought she was an Australian cattle dog but I didn't want to assume. (I've made assumptions before and have come out of doing so looking like an arse.
-
@Sams Mom: Genetics are amazing! While I was starting my M.Ed, I was working at Xavier University (XULA) with a professor of Genetics and began as a research assistant. I used to proctor a few of his classes (punnett squares and lessons on mitochondrial DNA, anyone?
Going back to your blue-eyed guy - He is so flipping cute and looks like "Mr. Personality," that I just want to snuggle him to bits!
*** Edit - see above -
@Kaohinani: Hell, I get it. I want to cuddle all the babies... The guys I used to work with would make fun of me for petting every single dog that came through the store... Uhhh it's a lot more acceptable to pet someones dog than talk to and pick up their baby... And I want to do both...
-
@Sams Mom: Thank you for understanding. Puppies, babies, kittens, and the like ... basically soft, chubby, round, snuggly, living organisms with large eyes that say, "I'm adorable!" get me every time.
I think I just killed this board again with my bumbling detour ... someone, bring it back, STAT!
-
The residual Clomid hot flashes are amping up on the new round of Clomid. I was literally flipping off the east side of my house last night (my OB lives down the road from me) between the insomnia and the flashes.
If this is a peak into menopause, I don't want it.
-
@Sams Mom:
* PLEASE, no one become offended over my belly pic (with partial side breast) ... I'm just using it to illustrate the roundness and swelling (Clomid "poof?") caused by my engorged ovaries and 12-lb water weight gain. You can SEE where the bloat starts under my ribs to my pelvic bone. It is terrible.
-
@Kaohinani: My kids both have brown eyes. My husband has blue eyes and I have dark brown eyes. Otherwise the kids look just like him, My dog has one brown eye and one blue eye.
I actually had a great vacation, but coming back to work was hard. I also heard news about a death right after hearing some bad work related news. Fortunately it is not someone very close, but still surprising and sad.
I got to hold my 11 day old niece.
We took my kids to a waterpark, and my almost 5 year old loved all the big slides. We got to see a lot of family (my husband's side), and watching my kids interact with their cousins was great. The big kids were so gentle with the littler ones.
-
@mdf106: I'm glad to read you had a spectacular vacation!
-
TMI but I have a bunch of creamy CM today. Is that normal? I think I'm about 4 dpo but this has me questioning whether I actually ovulated when I think I did...
-
@skinnycow: Yes and no. Bouts of "fertile" cm can be seen randomly throughout one's cycle even after OV due to fluctuations in both Estrogen and Progesterone. However, if you are uncertain of your OV date or, if your body geared up to OV with a LH surge but never did OV, you will get a secondary surge and may OV later on WHICH could ALSO explain your creamy cm. The best response I can give is: Get busy tonight, tomorrow, skip a day, then do it again on Saturday to cover all bases.

Best of luck to everyone this month! -
@Kaohinani: Thanks! But, ugh, as terrible as it sounds I don't want to BD anymore after doing it so much last week. I'll power through, though!
-
@skinnycow: I completely understand. While I [normally] enjoy being intimate with my hubby, we have been BD-ing every other day (except when he was gone on business) since the end of my AF (even while I took my Clomid) and we began BD-ing daily 4 days ago. Poor guy feels used and, with my sore ovaries and bloated belly, I'm beyond OVER the "sexy time" part of ttc.
Keep on soldiering through. -
@Kaohinani: We're trying SMEP again this month, hopefully it takes because sex whenever and as frequent or infrequent as we want sounds amazing.
-
@Sams Mom: I adore the SMEP method because it is structured and doesn't make my hubby and me feel either over- or underwhelmed with its expectations for BD-ing. Of course, when I'm on Clomid, my body feels like the body-snatchers have kid napped it so I'm not nearly as enthusiastic as I typically am for intercourse.
-
Yβallβs kiddos and pups are SO cute! I have to post one of my little guy! He turns 2 tomorrow!
-
@skinnycow: I get creamy cm for a week or so after I O.
-
@Jessiemuller88: Jessiemuller88, he is so cute! The look of determination and satisfaction on his face as he climbs is priceless!
-
@Kaohinani: thank you. The look was definitely satisfaction as he climbed UP the slide. I just asked him to not. As you can tell, he totally listens to me!
Your son is SO cute in his devil horns! Hilarious heβs calling himself that! The things kiddos pick up blows my mind!
-
@Jessiemuller88: He is a handsome little guy!
-
@Jessiemuller88: aww, happy early birthday to him! He's a toe hear! I blame my husband's genetics for our son not being ultra blonde like me and my sisters.
-
@yellowbeach: thank you! Your little girl is precious! I would have to frame every single one of those photos from her shoot!
@Sams Mom: thank you! 2 years have flown by! Your son is so cute with his baby blues and dark blonde hair. My husbands was white when he was a baby, and mine was too. Now we are both dirty blonde, so Iβm sure thatβs how Nate will end up too!
-
Ok so Iβve never really POAS to track ovulation before - but this seems close to positive, no?
-
@yellowbeach: very close, if not positive already.
This was my positive from today.
-
@yellowbeach: I would say you're there!
-
Hi mamas and mamas to be!! Itβs good to be back. Being a part of a POAS thread is by far one of the best things about TTC. I have two kids and for each when we were TTC, I was super active on the HB boards.
Cycle Day: 13
TTC Cycle: 1
Ovulation Date: August 8 (possibly today)
POAS Date: August 18 (Iβve had a positive at 10dpo)
Baby #: 3
Anything exciting you'd like to share:Not really exciting stuff but just some general background info. We conceived on the first cycle with our first two pregnanciesβrealize we are very fortunate regarding this. However, very prepared that it might not happen as easily this time given my older age. We have been on the fence about baby #3 but decided to just go for it. If it doesnβt happen after a few months of active trying, weβll take that as a sign from God and close this chapter. In general, we are open to whatever happens and feel very blessed with the two we have.
Baby dust to all, especially the mamas who have been on this journey for some time. I pray that this is the month for you!!
ETA: Whoa! So many baby#3 moms on this thread! Good to know Iβm not the only crazy one...
-
@yellowbeach: I'm a bit late to respond but I agree with Jessiemuller88 and Sam's Mom.
@jessiemuller88: That is a crazy-positive OPK!
@SUPERNOVAJ: Welcome to the August 2018 POAS board! I'm also one of the crazies trying for my #3 who had the luck of becoming pregnant with #1 and 2 on the first go.
this time around.

Well, I've come to the conclusion that my ovum are sperm-shy and need to see a therapist in order to learn how to "play well with others."
-
@Jessiemuller88: So cute! I bet it was twice as fun for him after you told him not to do it.
@SupernovaJ: Welcome and the best of luck to you!
@Kaohinani: I'm pretty sure there is at least one ovum therapist in this crazy world. Good luck finding their number!
I'm 3 DPO today, FF confirmed my OV date this morning. Luckily no symptoms to obsess over yet.
-
@SupernovaJ: Welcome. I'm another of the crazies trying for my third.
My first took a few months, my second on the first month, but it will be at least 2 months for my third. I started late last night. April wasn't the best due date, as it was my DHs birthday. Hopefully, a May due date will work.
Best of luck to everyone this month! 
this time around.
