February

That's right.  It's February.  We tried to conceive back in December for a third time, and despite experiencing the cruel ghost of of early pregnancy symptoms (strong nausea) right at 12 DPO, two days before Christmas, poof, just like that, I got my period.  The nausea turned out to simply be a stomach bug.  This time I was CERTAIN that I was pregnant, so much so that even into late January when I hadn't gotten my period again, I thought... "what if?"

Peanut turned two last month.  TWO!  And again, poof!  Just like that, the "terrible twos" emerged.  She's so funny and energetic and curious, and now also willful and stubborn and did I mention curious?  She's into everything.  And it's her way or the highway.  Or actually, her way or the floor, where you'll often find her kicking her legs, wailing, screaming "NOO!"   She's also singing silly songs, playing hide and seek, making elaborate meals in her toy kitchen, and building (smashing) block towers.  It's a whirlwind of fun at our household these days.  She keeps us on our toes :) 

We're in the midst of round 4 of TTC.  Today is CD12, and an ultrasound this morning confirmed that there is one promising 15mm follicle in my left ovary.  I'll begin checking ovulation kits tonight, probably do the trigger shot on Saturday, and inshallah, IUI 4 will take place on Monday.

Peanut was conceived on IUI 4 - perhaps it's our lucky number?
