What has everyone been up to lately?

I'm getting ready to start my 5th year of teaching. Olivia goes back to daycare next Monday and we start on Wednesday. I still can't believe how fast this summer has gone! But then again, we're another month closer to TTC!

I can't believe the summer is almost over either! Another month closer to TTC has me excited/nervous at the same time. I currently have AF so I'm only about 60 days away from TTC. that seems insane for me!!!!

Not much going on here. I went to the doctors yesterday because I was having pain and she told me I have 2 cyst on my right ovary that are 4cm by 3cm. Then pain I felt was probably a third one that burst. So now I get to sit and wait to see if they reabsorb, burst or grow. If they grow to 5 cm then we are going to talk surgery. That scares me. I read that they would either remove the cyst or the ovary too. I get large cyst on my right ovary all the time. Hoping that it doesnt get removed. I was hoping to go in there and the doctor tell me the IUD had moved and I was pregnant. Apparently MIL was to because she made another pregnant comment to DH.

Mel- How are you feeling about moving from 2 kids to three. I am still scared about it. I finally got Sofia potty trained and I am not looking forward to things like that again too. LOL.

Carolyn- How long until you TTC? I know, this summer flew by. 17 more months til we get to talk about the possibility of TTC again.

ha, still nervous about moving to 3 kids, especially since DS has had unexplained diarrhea for 3 weeks. We seem to finally have resolved it, but not sure if he's lactose intolerant or if it was a parasite. We're keeping him off diary for awhile and then reintroducing slowly. Anyway, it's had us stressed out! DS is potty trained but DD isn't so I'm trying to decide if I train her now and risk a relapse or if I wait until after baby is here, but that might put her at around 3 before I do it and that seems too late. so we'll see!

I hope the cysts resolve themselves and you don't have to have surgery! That's nice though that MIL is looking forward to another grandchild! My father thinks we should be done with kids...it's annoying!

Right now we are thinking of trying for a spring '14 baby so hopefully this time next year I'll be pregnant!

I've had some serious cysts in the past as well. I was actual scheduled for surgery to remove/biopsy one ovary/cyct but it ruptured 1 week before the surgery. I was actually in Ireland when it ruptured and it hurt! But, it was better than surgery, and I got to keep my ovary. I also had one rupture when I was just out of high school. In my experience, most go away on their own. Hope yours does!
