Don't know what's going on

So it's looking like we will begin working on Baby #2 by around September. If all goes well.
What I mean by that, is my cycles just keep getting weirder and weirder. Monday was CD23 for me and I was spotting. Not enough that I had to put something, but enough that it made me wonder WTH is going on. It lingered until yesterday. I've had some cramping to go along with it. I'm really freaked out. I had really hoped that working on baby #2 would be on my terms. I thought for sure that the PCOS wouldn't kick my butt for at least a little bit. But, I am not so lucky. I don't know why I would have mid month bleeding, it's never really happened to me before.
So frustrating.
Makes me wonder if we should start trying now so that we will go and see the RE by Oct/Nov.
I really am at a loss of what to do.

Teeth, Food and Fun

Finally, after what seems like forever, another bottom tooth has broken through. Princess G was so fussy lately but the tooth broke through. Yay. But there is a downside...when I look at her gums, I see a lot of white. Like a whole lot of white. So she will getting a few more sooner rather than later. But that's fine :) Her top teeth are still sitting, waiting to break through. Not sure what they are waiting for but I'm hoping soon.

As for food, princess doesn't like fruits. At all. She likes her veggies though. Which is great, because I am the same way. Not a fruit fan. I'll eat them, but I would take fresh veggies anytime. And it's amazing to see her actually eating, like chewing! time flies.

Lots of fun these days! We had a great weekend! Saturday was Upper Canada Village/Medieval Festival. It was so great! It was our first family outing, no in-laws, just the three of us. It was awesome. Princess G did a great job - didn't fuss at all lol. And the Sunday, we had a BBQ with both of our families for birthdays. Another great day outside. So glad the nice weather is here. That being said, this weekend is supposed to be rainy. That's OK, perfect excuse to stay put and quiet.

Latest update from us

So, the princess had her 6 month shots yesterday and her weigh-in. The shots went well. She cried a little and wasn't too fussy. Her weight is 19lbs 9.5oz and she measures a little more than 26". She is our solid little girl. She's chubby but still within the "standard" curve as per the Dr. So no need to worry. She's happy and healthy - what more could I ask for.
She's doing well on the food front. She's pretty good at letting me know what she likes and doesn't like. And we are still doing a little of both of the purees and the BLW. She loves her cucumber!! So we are going to keep on track with it and see how it goes.

AFM, I'm actually gaining weight and I'm so disappointed. I've pulled out my old WW stuff, but I still can't seem to find the motivation. I don't know if it's because of the weather or what. You would think that I would be really motivated because it's summer...but idk...
We are going to be getting one of those attachments for the bike that looks like a mini tent/RV for kids. I can't wait for that...a lot of quiet country roads out here for that. Our neighbours' daughter is going to sell it to us for like $50. Can't wait!! But there's nothing really stopping me from getting my butt on the treadmill. Just me being lazy. And if we are going to try for baby #2 in the next 2-3 months, I have to get healthy. I have a feeling it's going to be a tough go for baby #2, and my extra weight will just make it harder. Dang this PCOS...so frustrating.

6 months old already

Our lil princess is 6 months old today and I can't say it enough, time is flying. I think back to this day 6 months ago and wow. And to see her now and all that she can do. It just blows me away. She can sit on her own now but can't pull herself into the sitting position just yet. She's not too far off though. And she is rolling and scurrying all over the place. It's crazy. I am trying different things in the way of solids to see what she likes. She's not a big fan of the pureed food, so I thought I would give baby led weaning (BLW) a try. So I mix them both. She likes to hold and munch on cucumber (with no seeds) and tonight I gave her a spear of roasted sweet potato and she loved that too. The gagging kinda freaked DH out a bit, but she's fine and so is he :)
I think I will continue to do both. I don't force anything on her. I do however try a food more than once. I would prefer her to be eating what we eat, even if I puree it instead of the jar stuff.
But I am trying out stuff in the jars first - to see if she likes it. Then I can make it myself. We also have this wonderful product out here called La Mere Poule, which is "homemade" food in individual servings. It's kept in the freezer section and some of it is even organic. So I think I may buy some of it as back up. But for now, I'll keep going with the little bits of jar and BLW.
It's still a little overwhelming trying to figure out what to give her and when, but I'm sure she will be fine.

Worries...lots of worries

AF showed her face finally, I'm on CD2. My cycle just keeps getting longer and longer and I don't know what to do or what to think about it. I'm so frustrated. I was hoping that once we decided to start working on baby #2, that it would be on our terms. That maybe this time we wouldn't have to have any help. I'm pretty down about it. Really down about it actually.
And I just can't seem to get enough sleep. I'm ALWAYS tired. And my being tired doesn't help me get going on the working out. It's such a crazy circle. I think we would like to start trying for baby #2 by August. I think that's the plan. So I've got to get my cycle under control sooner rather than later.
A family friend that I've known all my life as "Aunty" is moving from her large home to a 2 bedroom apt. She was unable to have children and her hubby passed away, so my Dad (and my bro and I) are all she really has left. And my bro is working on getting himself organized, so it will be myself and my hubby going to the south shore at least once a day on the weekend for the next few weeks to help pack and move. She needs to be out of the house by the 20th of June. My Dad also needs our help to fix up his house because it is in need of some TLC. Then we have our house to work on, it DESPERATELY needs to be painted. And of course, our cottage needs to be completely cleaned, inside and out.
And in the middle of all this, I want to have some time to do my sewing.
We'll see how this summer goes. I think it's going to go by way too fast.
But as my hubby said, just take one day at a time. I'm going to try.

LIttle update

With the summer coming up quickly, we have been working hard around the house. There's still so much to do but at least we are making progress. The jungle that was in front of the house is now tamed lol. This weekend coming, we are going to plant our veggie garden. Can't wait for that.
Princess G is now eating cereal!! We decided to start the cereal on Mother's Day. She was sleeping through the nights and then it stopped. Then her 7oz wasn't enough and she would eat between 9 and 10oz...so I decided that we would give it a try. And she loves it! We have opted for the Organic whole grain rice cereal to start. We chose organic to avoid the crap that's out there (or at least hope to!) and whole grain because it's better for her. And if she has PCOS from me, I want to try and help as much as I can to teach her how to eat properly right from the get go.
AF is supposed to show her face tomorrow. I've had some cramping and my usual, "AF is coming" headache, so I guess we will see what tomorrow brings :)
I was supposed to start working out when my DH gets home from work but so far haven't been able to. I will be starting back working on WW with a friend of mine next week. I won't be joining but I will be following and weighing in with her. I'm hoping that I can stop the weight gain and actually lose :)
Nothing else to report.

Congrats E!!!

My friend IRL and the person who showed me about blogging, just delivered a little boy yesterday. A mother's day gift that is out of this world!

Congrats to E and her hubby R!!! And welcome baby Trent!!!
