Oh I got my first pp period today too ☹ so that's a bummer. The worst... I’m still waiting for mine.

doodlemommy Are any of the fires near you? Or are they just so huge that your getting the smoke blowing your way? My IL’s are flying back into YYC from Costa Rica today and it’s actually hotter there than in CR. I hope you have A/C because that would not be fun.

None near us thankfully, just blowing the smoke in. And yes, we have a/c! Today is so much cooler but still insanely smoky. It is supposed to rain tonight, all night, and all day tomorrow so hopefully that will help!

The worst... I’m still waiting for mine. Me too! Hoping it’ll be another 6 months 😬 Ditto haha! I nursed DD until 19 months and will go as long or longer with DS. But with DD I got an iud inserted at 6 weeks and never had a period until I got it removed when we were ready to ttc again. This time I didn’t get one so I have no idea what to expect. The longer the better obviously

We went to the outlet mall to try and find indoor shoes for DD for preschool. Why are so many shows unbelievably tacky? We don’t do character wear so that eliminates a lot, and I’m not spending 40-50 on runners! We finally found some at H&M for $18 (Canadian) that are cute, not tacky, will match with everything, and that she can get on/off herself. But man, that was not easy

So.....am I the only one here still with a toothless? I keep checking everyday but nada.... at this point I’m feeling left out and the fact that he don’t have teeth is making food choices harder 😅

I’m currently enjoying hopefully 15 mins of peace with a bowl of grapes before DS and dad comes home from the grocers and before lil fella wakes up and I’ll have to get dinner started. We had a boring day but I like it! Looking forward to another boring day tomorrow.

The longer the better obviously I made it to 15 months with DS 😬😆 and hoping for that long or longer since I had to sorta stop nursing and try to get my period back so we could get started on our ultimately failed FET. IUDs doesn’t stop periods does it? Pardon my ignorance and I have a confession too...I’ve never been on any form of BC....ever.

I’m surprised we haven’t had as many as it’s been so hot and dry this year but we had several hail storms. Another 1 just last week which was quite bad. At this point we’re just going to wait until the season is over to get our roof checked. Really pointless now.

I think they are more likely to prevent/stop periods if you start before getting AF back post baby but I could be way off. All I know is I got my mirena at 6 weeks pp and was period free for 18 months before having it removed! But I was also BFing during that time so who knows 🤷♀️

Of course lil fella is now awake. Why can’t you sleep for more than 1 hour. Apparently that’s too much to ask. 😫

I decided to take my two children of ages 3.5 and 10 months to the grocery store at 5:00pm instead of sitting down for dinner like we normally do.
That went as well as any of you are imagining.

Also, all of you who haven't had a PPP ... well, I want to say something mean but I don't want it to actually be taken as mean. But lets just say luck was terribly kind to you.

duskymonkey, we sold our house in I think 6 days back in November but we were in the process of building. We moved into my parents during the construction. We just moved into our new house in may. Still not all the way unpacked! Good luck @parma. Congrats on the quick sale 😀 I hope you guys find something quickly! I hope that makes sense. I'm on mobile and haven't had a full cup of coffee today. ..

Or really not doing any of the things everyone elses kid seems to be doing D: I'm sure this doesn't help, but if it makes you feel less alone, I've gotten up with my 3 year old at least 2 nights this week, and my baby slept through the night once when he was 3 months old and not since. I'm actually too tired to keep the days straight enough to be sure if the 3 year old woke more 2 nights.

I got it within like 2 weeks of having it removed though when we decided to TFAS. I'm still nursing this one but we've cut down a bit so I guess that's why I got it? I have no clue really. I was slightly crampy after his 5 am wake up but I thought it was gas. When he got up at 6:30 for the day I was like, oh, nope. Not gas. But it hasn't been bad at all so far 🤷♀️

I’d give anything to never have a period again. I’m on the mini pill and apparently it can come at any time while you’re taking them. Surprised me bc I thought there was a placebo week like regular bc. Nope!

Haha I completely forgot. H got his vasectomy all-clear like 2 months ago so I was able to stop 😂😂😂 Here I am thinking I didn't have a period this whole time because i was BF.

duskymonkey LO has 7 teeth and won't eat anything besides puree. He ate the tiniest bites of avocado this week, tried scrambled eggs this morning and that was a big nope. I didn't get my PPP last time until I cut out the night feed at 12 months. I was sort of trying to get it to come back because we were wanting to start TTC. There will be no trying to get it back this time!!!

doodlemommy The shoe struggle is real... I gave in and got Dora shoes for DD1’s outdoor shoes this summer. duskymonkey We are still toothless here. DD1 was until a year so I’m expecting the same. Even though she’s toothless I’m amazed at some of the stuff she’s able to chew through. Taitai I’m reading Crazy Rich Asians and of course thought of you. I’m only 3 chapters in and I’m hooked, it’s just the kind of book I need to get out of my reading rut.

But man, that was not easy We don’t do character wear either. We also only have like a Walmart within 45 miles so a lot of clothing comes in via Amazon or other online shopping. That said, DD1 may be getting some Thomas the Tank engine pajamas as a bribe/reward/something to assuage my mom guilt post-tonsillectomy.

I allow character underwear and the occasional pajamas (she has one paw patrol pair currently). I tried amazon but the Canadian version is not nearly as good and I didn’t find much. I did find some cute ones on old navy’s website but I just placed an order a couple weeks ago so I didn’t want to pay shipping and in stores today they were so picked over. H&M had lots of cute ones, I think we’ll be going back there in the future for sure!
