BEGONIA, what a cute little baby! LOVE the pic!!! It's so amazing how they can go from a ball of cells to that in 10 weeks!

And for the record, since I was talking about my super open relationship with my girls, I don't at all think that is what every parent should do. It's really up to everyone and every situation. Begonia, I think you are doing a good thing and not springing everything on them at once, that is smart. Speaking of parenting, have you guys heard of the book "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" or something like that? My sister was telling me she read it at a book club, but since she has no kids, she didn't know what I'd think.

Alexis, LMAO at your kid's face when you said some babies come out the "tootie!" That is a cute word! Mine say Va-JJ or hoo-ha. One time, when my oldest was about 4, she told me that "Daddy has a funny vagina." One of my favorites in the baby book.

I am not really excited about the sex talk either, but I'd rather them hear the scoop from me than some punk ass kids at school. I also don't want them growing up thinking it's dirty or bad, just that it's something special you only do with someone very special. POLL: Did your parents tell you to wait for marriage and then admit that they had sex before marriage themselves? I worry about that because I don't want them to think I'm a hypocrite, and I'd rather have an open relationship with them to where if they have a serious high school boyfriend, they would come to me and ask me questions about being safe and talk about their feelings about it than hide it. What do you guys think?

OK, as for me: 1dpo! C'mon May baby! SO SO SO hoping this month's change ups helped. I am super excited that my every other day bd plan worked perfectly to where we bd on O-2 and then O. Both times I did preseed and an instead cup all night, so FXFXFX! I am really tired of this all. Oddly, I felt REALLY weird this morning, like nauseated almost, and the icky stairwell we have to use right now because our elevator is broken smelled especially like ass this morning. Who knows.

TTC5, how is your daughter???? xxoo

THE HEAT! That's why I'm always tired! FertileCm did nothing for me also. Maybe just use preseed and don't freak about your cm too much!

[Flava]

Im going to use some EW for sure .Just hoep I also have some ewcm and don't have to do it on creamy or so.

Lola-I don't know how I'm going to approach the sex before marriage thing either. I don't want to lie to my kids, but I also want them to wait till marriage. God knows I sure wish I did!!! Maybe we can just tell them about our mistakes and hope they learn from them? That's the part I'm dreading the most!!! I don't recall my parents (my Mom) talking to me about sex until I was already doing it. I do want my kids to tell me their feelings and come to me with questions/advice. I guess just do what we think is right as far as that goes and pray that they listen to us!

[LolaInLove]

ITA Alexis about telling them about our mistakes and hoping they learn from that also. Good way to look at it!

hi all, we are back from our break and feeling much better after my chemical. will start trying again in a month, so many pages have passed so ive only looked back on a few! begonia,such a cute picture,is everything going ok? congrats alexis! and ttc5,hope your dd is ok. well, im off to take my morning folic acid and epo! if you shake me i'll rattle!

Hey Jane! Glad to have you back and awesome to hear that you are feeling better. Nothing like getting back in the saddle to make you feel optimistic. FX you get a sticky little bean soon, hun!

[begonia]

Ok that's a boy right there for sure !And look how cute he is !

LOL! Love that

Thanks for all the comments on my baby pic everyone

Jane! Glad to see you back love. Hope you're feeling good ready to tackle this TTC business, FX you get a sticky blue bean very soon.

Interesting Q Lola! I was raised by wolves so clearly no sex talk for me I saw more than I needed to see of my mom's bad choices so I figured out pretty quickly that sex out of wedlock was not going to get me anywhere I wanted to go. I think you're right to want an open enough relationship that even if they know their choice isn't what you would choose for them, they feel comfortable talking to you about it. I think that is the ideal parent/child relationship. How to get there is the challenge

OH and ITA the heat is contributing to the sleepy feeling. Flava did you have EWCM when you swayed for DD4? Just curious to know if you were able to achieve it then.

Read a review on "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother" but haven't read the book; I think it would be interesting. From what I've heard though reading the actual book shows you that she isn't as crazy as some of the excerpts make her out to be. I might pick it up.

My girls haven't asked about where the baby comes out or any of the period stuff yet ... but when they do I'm with you Jen, give them an honest answer that is verrrrry basic. DD1 did ask me about boobs though She said she doesn't want any. I told her that with our genetics she probably won't have too much to worry about, LOL!

Oh and Lola I sometimes got nauseated around my O day; maybe the extra sensitivity is due to that? Or you're pg I was 5 dpo when I started feeling sick with this one so sure 1 dpo is early ... but I'm keeping my FX!!!!
