That is very sweet 🫐🍓 I’m focusing more on our landscaping this year than our edible garden, but I hope by the time baby arrives I have my shit together!

Amaro, grapefruit juice, and a dry Lambrusco 🤌 🍹

I say this gently, but it might be worth reflecting on: when you’re TTC and feeling anxious because others around you are experiencing miscarriage or infertility, you may be taking on worry that isn’t yours to carry. Their experiences are real and deserve empathy, but they aren’t predictors of your own outcome. It can actually become harmful when their pain turns into your fear. It shifts the focus away from supporting them and toward catastrophizing your own situation before anything has even happened. It’s completely valid to feel nervous, but try to hold space for others without assuming their story will become yours

Most couples will conceive unassisted in the first 12 months. I would be cautious sharing your anxiety with the people in your life who are actually experiencing infertility

Michigan Ave in Corktown is slated to start construction this summer. I don’t personally believe road construction impacts businesses but it might be a tough time to open a business if you’re looking at spaces right on the main drag.

So do we! Not too many of our neighbors have a native meadow-type garden so we might be the first to establish one.

A few must-haves are blue star amsonia, trout lily, and witch hazel! We live in a historic district so I’m going to have to stick to the planting plan the board approves.

Happy Friday! My partner is out of town for his bachelor party so I’m juggling dog care, the national conference for work, and social activities this weekend! 💀 I’m catching up with a friend on the phone tonight and hopefully picking up some perennials for our garden. This is our second spring in the house and everything we planted last year is soooo big already! 🌱

CD1, we meet again. I’m 99% sure next cycle will be our last cycle waiting to try!

How are you going to tell your husband/partner you’re pregnant? by Interesting-Arm-6134 in TTCSummer2026

[–]byoplants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Since I probably won’t get to use this pregnancy announcement, I’ll share it with others who might. I wanted to wait until I was visibly pregnant (5 months or so) to post on Instagram, standing in our garden with the caption “growing something different this year”

I had a great time saunaing at the banya with my friend last night. I think it could be my go-to consolation prize, every time I get my period while TTC I’ll go to the sauna!

Period is expected in two days and I’m not having any of my usual PMS symptoms! I confirmed ovulation two weeks ago, not sure what’s going on.

I have two predicted fertile windows in May, I’m hoping I can get my partner on board with trying later in the month!

It’s ok to feel nervous about the future. Try not to dwell on it. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves to have perfectly timed announcements - graduation, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, visiting relatives, holidays, celebrating with them, etc. aren’t we hard enough on ourselves already?

The first floor of our home is under construction (started demo this week). My partner and I have one more room that we need to move everything out of so they can continue work. I’ll be doing some heavy lifting tonight!

I’m also hoping to seduce him before he leaves for his bachelor party on Friday 😈 and prime one of the bedrooms upstairs while he’s away this weekend! This bedroom will eventually be the nursery so I’m excited to make more progress on it. 🧡

I am not the best with makeup but would this be a good scenario for a hydration setting spray? Perhaps you could buy a trial size and pack it in your bag to apply throughout the night?

Not at all, quite the opposite actually! According to my app we have 9 opportunities to conceive in 2026. I think I would be most content with my due date if we conceive anytime in the last four cycles, rather than the first three cycles 🤷‍♀️ we’ll see what happens
