It's been so long...

Things have been pretty crazy for us. DH is still looking at changing jobs and it is closer to becoming a reality. He hurt his back, so right now, that is the only thing that may slow it down.
Princess has been having sleep issues lately. And I know it is partly my fault. Ever since she got sick a while back, I have been bringing her into our bad for her naps and we nap together. She sleeps longer there. And I've needed the sleep. Now of course, as daycare looms, I have to get her into the habit of sleeping in her bed again for naps. (she sleeps there at night) She also went through a few weeks of waking up during the night. Several times. It was definitely a rough time. Things are s.l.o.w.l.y. getting better.
On another note, she's almost completely off any jar food. I hated giving it to her because I didn't make it. I did give her some of the "la mere poule" food, which I feel is better than the jar. But even that now, she just wants to eat what we eat. So I plan our meals around her now. I make sure that there are things she eats. And to boot - she feeds herself now. It's incredible. Things are going so fast. Can't wait to do it all again :)

It's been a while!!!

Where do I begin? Our visitors have been gone for 2 weeks now and Princess is getting back into her schedule. Tooth 6 and 7 have come in and she is working on tooth #8. I hope she gets a little break after this one. This tooth would be bottom right but the next one after the right middle tooth...if that makes any sense at all LOL.
DH will be changing jobs, if all goes well. He has an interview at the end of the month and then it shouldn't be long after that to hear if he got in or not. The bummer thing about this job, is that he will be gone for 3 1/2 months on training. ARGH!!! I'm sure we will be OK.
Princess is a master at crawling and pulling herself up to stand. She moves like the speed of light. And is so curious about everything. It's wonderful but crazy busy at the same time.

Wow is all I can say!!

Princess G decided to start crawling today. It was beautiful. She's done it a few times. She doesn't go crazy, she's still a little unsure, but she's learning quickly and getting around more. I couldn't help but tear up, she's growing at warp speed. But I am happy to see all these changes. She's also standing up much better. She still needs to hold on to things, but she is standing up and bouncing with no fear. T day is coming, when I am going to be in big time TROUBLE - cuz she is not going to walk, she's just gonna start running!!!
I better start getting into shape a little more huh!

Crazy crazy week

So, all we had to really do this week was BD. Sounds easy enough...but yet, we still missed some days in there.
Last night was a wipe. There is some family issues going on and we are acting as a safe zone, so we have visitors, which is fine. Then last night, Princess had a low grade fever. She was really tired and fell asleep with her bottle. So I put her down and attempted to give her some tempra to relieve the fever, but she HATES it. So she gagged and then proceeded to throw up. She was laying down, so I had to grab her and sit her up while she puked some more. It went everywhere. The scary thing is that she was not breathing. So we helped her to clear out her mouth and nose, but she was so scared, that she was crying/wimpering. It was so scary for us too. The terrified look in her eye made it easy to decide that she would sleep on me half sitting up. She did for a few hours at first. Then she woke up, like ready to start the day, at 1:20am. DH went to sleep downstairs and she and I played and eventually fell asleep in our bed. She was still feverish this morning and clingy. She ate no prob, which means she is on the mend. She and I layed down in our bed again, and we slept for a good 3 hours. She woke up to her old self. She's still not eating solids, but she's eating her formula. And the fever is gone. I know she's working on 2 top teeth (front right and next right) which will make it tooth 6 and 7.
So needless to say, last night was definitely out of the question. So since yesterday was "supposed" to be my O day, I doubt very much that we caught the eggie. And that's OK. On to the next cycle.

Busy BD week!

I'm not 100% sure where I am in my cycle this month. Reason for this is that I started bleeding on July 30. But, it was only minor bleeding on the 30th and 31st. Aug 1 was the first FULL flow day for me, so I am counting that as my CD1, which means that my last AF would have been a 34 day cycle. I'm anywhere between 33 and 35 days. With all of this, DH and I have decided to BD every day. Just in case. I don't think I will O until around Aug 20/21, but my CM was EW this afternoon. So I'm glad we are doing things this way. Just in case ;)

Princess G is making a move

So our lil princess is not crawling quite yet, but I think it will happen sooner than later. She gets where she needs to go by scooting on her belly, and she's quick!! She's up on all 4s now, rocking. She will bring one knee up, but then plop down on her belly and scoot. She's keeping me on my toes already.
Today, she took her first steps!! Well, not walking on her own but it's big for me! She's been standing up with our assistance for the last 2-3 months. She's able to pull herself up in her crib to stand but she hasn't been able to move her feet to get them closer together. Tonight, while holding her hands as she stood on the floor, she put one foot in front of the other and "walked" to Daddy. It was awesome!! She's just growing like a weed!!!

Here we go again...

So, DH and I have decided to start this crazy ride again. I'm on CD 7 and we are not going to prevent this month. We aren't going to REALLY try this month either. Sept will be the start of the monitoring. And, by monitoring, I mean just checking my CM and days. I have never temped before or used OPKs. We'll see how this goes. My OBGYN told us to come and see him if we aren't preggers after 4 months of trying and he will send me straight away to the RE.
So, Aug is month 1.
There's so much going on with us and so many potential changes on the horizon that we aren't going to really think about my job. If this works first shot, which I'm not conviced it will, but if it did, I would be going back to work about 3 months pregnant.

On another note, Princess G has been getting herself up on all fours these days. She's still not crawling but it's close. I'm actually OK with her not crawling just yet lol. She's still mobile, she can get around quite well, but not enough that I stress about where she is. If that makes any sense lol.

It's the Williamstown Fair this weekend, longest running country fair in Canada (197th year this year), and it's gonna be fun. I can't wait for my little miss to see the animals up close.
