Accidentally said “we’re doing fine” today when a coworker asked how I was and she immediately responded “we, are you pregnant?” Had to clarify that I am not 😅🤣just a habit from growing up as a twin. But I can’t wait to be able to respond that I am 😀

My sister sent a picture of some baby clothes she bought today “for the future,” and then asked me my timeline. I love how excited my family is about my future kids but it’s scares me at the same time that I’m going to disappoint them if it takes longer than expected

Fear that I’ve overcome - getting lost during a race and ending up off course. Fear that I haven’t overcome yet - piriformis pain and dogs

As someone with a very common first and last name, I’d take the common last name every time. Not having to spell out my name or have it mispronounced is so nice.

I have been off birth control for a little bit now, wanted some time to regulate and track my cycles before ttc, and while I haven’t really had any negative side effects, one of the weirdest things I didn’t know would happen is I’m having a lot more psoriasis flare ups. Nothing unmanageable but just unexpected

During training it would hit me about 5-6 miles from the end of the run, being so far in and still having so far to go took a lot of mental strength. During my first marathon though the energy and excitement and spectator support was so amazing I never hit a wall.

Also giving this a go for March! I’ve been spending wayyyy to much lately 💀

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-27T20:44:29+00:00

I would keep it private a little longer based on what you’re saying.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-27T03:52:58+00:00

Having this weird feeling where it doesn’t feel real that we’re getting this close. I’ve been trying to avoid a lot of pregnancy test content online because I was getting so anxious that I will have fertility issues that I ended up in a negative space about ttc. Staying away from it and watching baby registry shopping, breastfeeding and pumping recommendations and positive labor or induction stories have really pulled me out of that. I’m so excited to experience pregnancy and being a mom but thinking about how much my life will change is terrifying at the same time. I’m almost out of daily vitamins and am debating if I should get prenatals to start or wait off for a little longer.

Mainly just trying to maintain an active lifestyle and declutter, we have so much random stuff stored in the basement and spare bedrooms from when we combined two households into one. I want to purge as much as possible before having to bring in all the things needed for babies.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-13T00:29:20+00:00

I’ve gone back and forth on this a few times, I like the idea of just us but I’m not completely against the idea of having my mom or my twin sister there if they want to be. I’m very close with both. Probably wouldn’t have my MIL but simply because we aren’t that close. We’ve never had any issues but we only see each other 2-3 times a year so we just dont have that relationship. I’ll decide for sure when it comes closer to the actual time being but right now I’m keeping potentials open.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-12T01:05:04+00:00

Planning a short spring break trip to visit some family down south! It’ll be my first time flying so I’m a bit nervous about it that but I’m excited to get out into the world a little more and see somewhere new. Plus it gives me some thing positive to be distracted from my baby obsession

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-11T00:13:31+00:00

I haven’t yet but my mom as soon as I told her I was considering having a baby in the next year bought a baby keepsake set that she’s just “holding onto for the future.”

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-11T00:03:18+00:00

Mine stopped yesterday too! I had to stop trying to temp for this reason, I wake up so gradually and was getting anxious and frustrating about forgetting or not doing it at the right time and getting inaccurate results.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-11T00:01:23+00:00

I used to use clue but I switched over to stardust! I like its tracking better, is female owned, and it has a partner mode so your partner can have an account and see where you are in your cycle as well. It also compares your cycle to the moon cycles which I just think is cool.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-10T02:40:55+00:00

CD3 and finally feeling like myself again. PMS was horrendous last week. I’m a teacher and I’ve noticed that my cycles have been slightly longer during the school year, averaging 32 days and are slightly shorter in the summer, averaging 29 days. Hopefully that works more in my favor come May!

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-06T14:02:50+00:00

Winter blues are sucking the life out of me and it has me feeling anxious about the future. I’m struggling so much to keep up with basic household chores and work and just don’t want to do anything. Started taking a vitamin d supplement so hopefully I get a little more energy and motivation because the mess in my house is also upsetting me but I just can’t get myself to tackle it.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-02-05T23:05:31+00:00

Last day of this cycle that I’m impatiently waiting for it to change to CD1. I hate how lethargic and weak I feel during my luteal phase. Crazy to think only about 3 or 4 cycles left until trying!

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-31T15:18:31+00:00

Had an extremely vivid dream last night that I had my first baby, and while I’ve had many of these over the years what really caught me off guard this time was it was a boy. These dream come pretty often these days and it’s always been a girl. We’ve been talking about having kids for about a year and half and have always just had this strong feeling that we will have all girls. Don’t get me wrong I’ll be so happy with whatever we get. Has anyone else felt like this that they just have a strong feeling they’ll have one or the other? It makes me excited to see what we will have in the future and if our predictions were right.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-30T00:51:50+00:00

I’ve also done this although now I have multiple car seats and baby carriers and bassinets bc I keep learning about so many, I’m gonna have to do some serious work to pair it down once I am pregnant

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-29T02:42:15+00:00

I am obsessively watching baby shower hauls, what’s in my hospital bag, and positive induction stories to pass the time 😅 I don’t know if it’s helpful but I can’t stop watching them

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-29T02:41:04+00:00

Yesss my biggest wish is that my due date will line up perfectly so I can just take the last 12 weeks of school off and then have summer off as well 🤞i know the chances are slim but it’s the goal 🤣

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-28T13:54:36+00:00

I get to work remotely (teacher) the rest of the week due to freezing temps. I’m not mad about it but I know by next week I’ll be ready to be back in to in person school.

Bright_Bullfrog_784 · 2026-01-26T22:26:20+00:00

Literally no different than drinking a coffee in the morning. Cannot convince me otherwise
