How do you like your In-Laws?: Now that I've given them a grandchild, they really seem to like me. Last month DS and I spent a week with them and I really did enjoy it!
Anything else you want to share?: This board is way too silent which makes me sad because I remember how helpful the TTC boards were when TTC #1. I'm butting in here on occasion b/c it needs to stay active and helpful. As soon as we know when and where we're moving next (and what plane DH will be flying!), we'll probably switch over to TTC with full out charting. Hopefully by then DS won't be BFing every 2 hours which I'm sure would really mess with my chart right now (that and he's decided he's a newborn and is waking every 2 hours at night again).

TTC #?: Two
TTC how long?: Mmm, it depends on what you count as 'TTC'. We've never used BC, so you could say we've been 'TTC' since a couple of months after DD was born in June '09. Or you could say we've been TTC since AF came back in April '10. Either way, it's been a while.
Favorite thing about ttc:
Least favorite thing about ttc: It gets demoralizing after a while.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?: Closer to all my family. I do live very close to my sister, but everyone else is an hour or more away.
Favorite drink: Hmm... apple cider in the winter. Iced green tea in the summer (sweetened or not).
Favorite food: It changes almost daily. But right now I'm pretty fond of chocolate and cream of mushroom soup.
