OK, I'm debating with myself here. I charted and temped while TTC #1, which happended right away, and with #2, which took 9 months, and I finally conceived the month I threw the thermometer away. Now we are thinking about TTC #3, and I...

Thanks mama's, It seems odd to me because I charted for 6 or 8 months before TTC#1, and I always O'd on the full moon, which was generally around day 14 of my cycle. But this has been consistent for months now, so I was thinking...

I am nursing baby #2 and we are thinking about TTC #3. I am observing physical signs, but not temping. It looks like I O on about day 21, with a 10 day luteal phase following. This is the same cycle I had while nursing #1 and...

Ligmom, I just wanted to mention one book, Kids are Worth It! by Barbara Coloraso. It is simple, respectful, and pretty effective. The ideas she has really rang true to me, and helped me learn how to communicate to my son with...

Well, things are looking a little bit up. I've really made an effort to drop everything I'm doing after I pick up DS at noon, and from then until Dad gets home it's pretty much our time. Most of the time we are out at the house,...

Thank you all so much for giving such quick reponses, I have been looking forward to sitting down and checking this post all day. ovb, you are going to be a GREAT mama! So many of the things you've said hit home with me. I should...
