I Think It Was a Bust

I'm 99% sure I'm not pregnant this cycle only I haven't gotten my period yet. Last cycle it was day 48, the couple before that were around 35 and 43. It's so hard to know! And I'm being really objective this time around and I don't have any symptoms. I'm not tired, have no nausea, I've been peeing only as much as I was before; even though it's time to test I refuse to waste one. If I was feeling more pregnant then for sure.

We just got home from spending the weekend at my parents. Steve and Tamrah were there and Tara and Wes came for Sunday. It was so much fun with the whole house so busy and full. It's going to be really quiet for mum and dad tonight! Shaun was incredible all weekend. He ate well, slept great and behaved incredibly! Considering all the terrible things he's been dealing with lately: an awful cough, aggressive rash, strained ankle, bruise on the cheek from a closet door, sore tongue and various bonks on the head, it was as if nothing was wrong.

I'm seeing Dr. McKinnon on Thursday for Shaun's 15-month check up and we'll go over my latest test results.

My Chatterbox

Oh my goodness, Shaun's talking so much! He has so many words I think I've lost count. For a long time he would do a lot of mimicking or he'd only say words when we prompted him. Now, if he sees something that he knows the name of, he says it. It's so incredible to hear him learn so fast!

Okay, let me think for a moment. He knows the sounds for: lion, aligator, cat, dog, snake, duck. And we're trying to teach him bird, mouse, cow and monkey (that one's Craig's idea).

But words that he says without prompting:
baby (bebe)
Ted (nah)
shoe (soo-ee)
sock (saah)
light (it-eh)
more (me)
nummy
banana (nana)
duck (cack)
cat (he meows)
dog (he woofs)
Mummy
Daddy
story (so-we)
bath (bah)
done (nah)

Oh man, I'm sure there's more. I didn't even have to think about that list. Vacuum is another (cum). He and I were stopped at traffic lights the other day and there was a lady on the sidewalk walking with a dog and a baby in a stroller. Not only did Shaun woof for the dog but he said baby too! How did he know?? I remember how surprised I was to see the 14 month old in Walmart when Shaun was 2 months say baby. Now that kid is Shaun! YAY!

I've been diligently charting my BBT and it appears that 3 days ago I ovulated. That's why I started charting: to see if I was ovulating. And it appears that I am. Soo, maybe this is our month? It HAS to happen eventually right?
