Question of the week: What do you do for fun?

My answer: I like to sew, cross-stitch, read, take walks, bake and spend time with my family. I also really like to travel and wish I could do more of that

Hope you all are having a relaxing Sunday!

Knit, crochet, read, meet up with friends, clean the house (lol). I used to sew but I can't really get to my machine it is hidden away in what will someday (soon) be our office.

Last month I had some strange spotting around cd 24 and af started on Aug 20th (I think). I am pretty sure I o'ed Labor Day weekend, and we were intimate on 2 of those days (the 2nd and 3rd). Fingers are crossed that the swimmers did their job.

Today I am 6dpo (I think) and have been feeling a little crampy for a few days, with some tan colored discharge. It is possible that it is just my body being a mess, it sort of did this last month- with spotting 5 days before full on af got here. ARGH!

And we were done with the 3 girls, until DH decided, out of the flippin' blue and with no discussion, to just finish inside instead of our usual bc method of pull-out. It was on o weekend, too. So the next day we talked about it, and both of us are a-okay with #4. I am giddy in fact, well terrified because I get really bad morning sickness, and I have a 17 month old super pooper. Oh well it will be totaly worth it.

Since we have 3 girls I really hope to get a boy. I always thought I would have boys.

So exciting that you guys are going to go for it

Maybe the morning sickness wouldn't be as bad with a boy? Fingers crossed for you either way!!

THanks. I seriously thought the only way we'd ever have another would be a total accident, but when he said "I am okay with 4" I was shocked.

I'd like to think my morning sickness wont be so bad no matter what, but I am pretty sure it will be terrible. I just hope I get the bfp this month, because there is a part of me that is terrified dh'll change his mind.

Aotw: I like to read (but don't do it often enough!!), hubby and I do puzzles together. I love to shop (hardly ever for myself though!!) and spend time doing anything with the girls

AF is here full force! I was excited at first since yay my body is going back to normal. But I go over the excitement real quick once I remembered how bad it is lol I have not had a real period in years! When I first got the IUD in I'd say the first year maybe I got it but was not bad at all! Even though we agreed to NTNP for now I pray I get preggo soon to escape AF for 9 months

Today was such a nice fall like day! Can't wait until everyday is like this!!!! Next weekend we will go apple picking. Can't wait to bake

Oh my goodness these next few days are going to be torture! I mean I know I will take a darn pg test every morning, and if by Thursday they're still neg I'll know I'm out (or assume, but continue to test until af shows I'm sure). Today I've been so crampy and gassy. I'm also craving hot wings like you wouldn't believe. I had some a few days ago and want more! More I tell you! MORE! Sigh. OK I should go to bed instead of obsessing on here. :smile:

AOTW- I love knitting! And reading.

We went to the park today, spent almost 2 hours in the walking path, then the kids played on the playground. It is super nice weather here right now.

I'm in about the same boat. And at first I figured I wouldn't be disappointed if I'm not pg, but I think I've got my hopes up now. Even dh (without me ever saying anything) asked me last night if I am pg. funny he seems to know these things not to long after I notice.

Hey!

My son is 13 months, and I still have no PPAF. We are not doing anything to hurry it along, but when my body is ready, we are not going to prevent it, either. It's crazy, some days, I hope I get pregnant soon, other days, I hope it is at least another year!
