Ovuline

I love that even Ovuline doesn't know what to do with me lol. I was at a fertility score of 1 yesterday, put in some of my info for today, nothing that would indicate my fertile phase, and it bumped me to a 10 and says I'm fertile and should have sex.

Lol poor app.

Another TTC Post

I discovered this new (to me at least) website/app called Ovuline.

Really in depth, but it gives you a lot of feedback from the information you input. I really enjoy that.

My period is due Saturday! Kinda anxious.

Part of me really wants to be pregnant. Part of doesn't, only because my due date would be June 28th, and Jades birthday is June 10th.

I really really don't want close birthdays, but they would also be 4 years apart in age, so maybe it wouldn't matter so much.

Arg. I don't know.

I'll deal with it when I get there I guess.

Ideas for tracking baby's milestones

There are lots of ways to track baby’s milestones and growth during their first year (and beyond), but--thanks to Pinterest!--here are some of our favorites:

Month-by-month pictures throughout the first year are a great way to see how baby grew; variations can include a chalkboard, personalized onesies, or baby’s favorite toy,

”Year of Firsts” photo collages are a great way to remember special moments and it doubles as fun, family-centered artwork for your home,

Monthly pictures with a note to baby will last a lifetime! Writing personalized notes to your child about their first year is a great way to document their growth, and is one-of-a-kind keepsake,

Time lapse videos allow your family and friends (or even the world) to see your child grow - right before their eyes! Sam Cornwell and his wife shot daily videos of their son Indigo and compiled everything into one, awesomely cool time lapse (above). “He doesn’t quite appreciate it yet, but we hope that in a few years he will,” Cornwell wrote on his Vimeo page.

Be sure to follow the Ovuline boards on Pinterest for more ideas about how to document your baby’s milestones!

The Summers Fs: Fertility, Fun and Food!

Are you having a barbeque? going to the beach? lake? pool? Don’t forget these tips to keep yourself and baby safe!

Avoid:

Deli meat can contain the listeria bacteria, which can make you sick and put your baby at risk,

Fish high in mercury (e.g., shark and swordfish) can seriously harm your baby's brain development,

Food in doggy bags/take-home containers because bacteria can grow - and multiply - quickly, even before you get home,

Potluck foods should be avoided because the food might be unrefrigerated for too long, especially if it’s hot out,

Raw meat, milk or eggs (e.g., homemade caesar dressing, tiramisu or mousse) puts you at risk to harmful bacteria like coliform bacteria, salmonella, and e. coli, or could cause toxoplasmosis, a serious parasitic infection,

Smoked seafood or raw shellfish (e.g., oysters and clams) may contain dangerous virus and bacterial cells, which could make both you and your baby sick, and

Unwashed vegetables (e.g., salad or vegetable platter) put you at risk of contracting toxoplasmosis, a serious parasitic infection that could cause miscarriage or stillbirth.

When in doubt, ask before eating and be sure to drink plenty of water throughout the weekend to stay safe and hydrated!
