Sometimes I feel like I'm not like the others.
Not that I'm some anomaly or I'm some sort of speshul or uneek (deliberately misspelled, grammar and spelling nazis). Sometimes I feel there's me and then there's....everyone else.
Case in point, I have no qualms with not having a VBAC (Vaginal Birth after Cesarean).
Again, I'm not pregnant. I'm currently on CD 8 and we're going to start doing the Humpty Dance soon for TTC

Okay, that song has nothing to do with the blog whatsoever. But hey, the kid's flow is pretty sick. (Parental discretion...he may look like a kid but his lyrics sure ain't!)
I'm not pregnant. How's that for an opening line?
After a week and a battery of tests, not to mention I started to spot already, it's pretty official I'm not pregnant. I have to admit, I'm still debating if

Ugh, I hate the 2WW.
I'm going to keep it real. My willpower isn't great. It's actually pretty crappy when it comes to pregnancy testing. I'm pretty good at waiting for other things that I really want. But when I have several pregnancy tests that amount to maybe less than a dollar each...my willpower shrinks to nothing.
So I've tested...a lot. Maybe too much.
Yeah, negative. I think. Not sure.
I really

Today is the King of Pop's birthday. Here's a rad fact - both of my kids' middle names - Michael - is in honor of him. True story! (Though I pronounce Bear's middle name as Mikhail. It sounds better than way, IMO.)
Creating a vlog channel is a little more difficult than I'd imagined.
I looked through some other vloggers, just to get an idea of what they do and

The waiting game.
I remember years ago, when we were first trying to conceive, people kept saying how stressful the two week wait (2WW) was. Meh, I beg to differ. It's everything in preparation before the 2WW. Did I take the Fertibella today? We have to have sex tonight! Am I drinking enough green tea? Maybe I should've grabbed that pineapple and pomegranate juice from the store when I
I'm currently on CD 12 and we're doing the Sperm Meets Egg Plan. I found some old OPKs from years ago (I think they're still good) and I've been checking my CM, which has been egg white. I was a little surprised to see Mr. Happy Face early morning today. Not sure if it's the Fertibella or if my cycle has stopped being mad at me. My most recent period was

Registering the second time around isn't that exciting.
Let's get something clear - I'm not pregnant, at least not yet. This is the first official cycle of trying and I'm currently on CD 6. I won't ovulate for another week or so. I do feel surprisingly confident this time around. I don't know if it's the meditation or false hope. I would like to believe I truly think I'll

Baby fever is starting to catch up with me.
A few months ago, I had a pregnancy scare. Hmm...I don't think I actually like calling it a scare. I know I wasn't ready at the time and I was a bit freaked out. Amazing how a few months can really make a difference.
It's not even a feeling of missing being pregnant or seeing all of the cute onesies out
It's about that time.
To TTC.
I'm currently on CD 9 and I'll start tracking my ovulation in a couple of days. Ideally, I would've already been pregnant with Rainbow Baby #2 and possibly, would've given birth. Life is funny that way. You have an idea of how you want things to go and oops, not quite.
I'm excited. The more round preggo tummies I'm seeing, the more I want to be
For those who are still trying, I'll tell you what I did. Keep in mind, it wasn't just one solid thing. If anything, it was a perfect storm:
Acupuncture (it really calmed down my nerves and made me focus on things that weren't pregnancy/baby-related)
Exercising daily (Again, just to calm my nerves and besides, I wanted to look and feel better)
More fruits and veggies and a lot of water to flush
