NTNP January 27th- Feebruary 2nd

[waterisntsomething]

Well SO and I normally go out to dinner for most big holidays. We love going out to eat at restuarants. Last year I don't think we really did anything b/c DS was only a couple weeks old. This year...I have no clue! We could really use a date though. I would love to see a movie...it's been a looong time!

Are you ordering from the co-op here too? I ordered 13 total pads, 2 liners, 5 normal, 2 heavy, 2 PP, 2 night time! Trying some of everything to find what I like.

Yep! Im waiting for her to stock some minky liners. I have some from another wahm on etsy but the leak! Im using them as a backup to my moon cup. If I don't get it in just right I leak a little bit. Annoying to have a liner on that literally bleeds through immediately. And its just a little bit of a leak! So I'm hoping that if I do the minky's and a better known WAHM they won't leak. Im tired of stains on my underwear.

I was going to do pp pads for ds2 but ended up not ordering any. Which actually worked out fine because ds2 was in the NICU for 3 days. And after that intial 3 days I didn't really need heavy pads.

I just made a bunch of mama cloth and then I read the thread about how a lot of mamas hate flannel...mine are flannel! I'm nervous about them now. I guess I can always add minky or something later if I'm not into the flannel.

I wanted the purple minky owls, but I got in a hurry. LOL!

I've been using mama cloth for years now, probably 3 years, maybe longer. I prefer flannel. Minky or OBV makes me hot and sweaty and I really don't like that! I use those for night but I use the flannel for the rest of the time. The only leaks I've ever had are at night when the pad shifts in my sleep.

I'd love to try a diva cup but I'm too cheap. Maybe someday.

I've never tried mama cloth. Maybe someday.

Well, instead of being one of those people that think every symptom is pregnancy because they are hoping for it, I'm getting lots of symptoms and hoping for a BFN. Not sure if I could have implanted early, but I'm 5/6 DPO, and have had cramping the past couple days, have to pee alot (could be a UTI creeping up), and for the first time in over a year, felt nauseous a little this morning.

Both kids are sick, I'm sick, DH is sick, and I can't imagine adding another one to the mix. I think generally it will not be too difficult, but when sickness strikes, ugh. DH is a big baby, kids are of course babies that need love, and I'm running around ragged trying to take care of everyone and myself. I feel like death. So every time I feel cramping (which is still odd/weird for me... even before/during AF), I'm hoping it will be a BFN, because I'm overwhelmed right now. I'll send my baby dust to someone else who wants it, and I'm hoping we all get better soon, I'm exhausted!

We don't do vday...two years ago I bought him a gift and he wouldn't accept it.

Well nearly a week late I finally started. Dh applied for retrain and a job transfer, while I don't mind being preggo while he is gone I HATE having babies without him so it is probably good that this month is a dud.

Hoping you get your BFP soon mama! And very cool on the mama cloth! I hope it is awesome

Good luck! Hope you get your BFP soon!

I'm not sure if ntnp is exactly what I'm doing. We ended up dtd last night. That means if I ovulate around day 14. ( don't really keep track just have 28 day cycles). There's a good chance. I'm a bit obsessed with eating right and exercising right now. I'm overweight and woul love to start of pregnant at a lower weight. So if we are I guess I'll just need to keep going for the next two weeks!!

FX mama!
