This is the third entry I’ve written this week, the words just haven’t been coming out right and time has run away from me!
Crochet is still my number-one-favourite-me-time thing to do, Indi sleeps for at least two hours during his midday nap and I’m lucky to be able to spend the whole time with hook & yarn in hand. I finished a beret for my sister’s birthday last week, am nearly half way through the ripple blanket, started a colourful bag, made a couple of large coasters and practised making flowers & stars!
I’ve got this wonderful feeling that this isn’t a phase… usually I go full-pelt into a new hobby and end up overdoing it resulting in needing a break from it!
And I have been travelling around looking for a good place to buy my yarn. I tell you, its not easy! I went to a shop in the next town over called ‘Valerie’s Wool Shop’ a couple of days ago, there was half a shelf of… I don’t even know the name for it! It was string with feathery fabric interweaved into it and glittery stuff, was tempted to suggest they change the name of their shop but I was quite eager to get me & Indi out of there.
Thankfully there is a nice shop not too far away, they have a good selection although its only acrylic yarn but it’s perfect. The shop lady was lovely too, cooed over Indi and told me about her grandson who’s just a few months younger than my little boy.
So thats covered 
TTC wise, well I’ve just started a new cycle so we’ll see how this one goes… & that’s all you’re getting on that subject!
Indi has started saying a few words! He says car (car-ar), ball (bor-or), bubble (buh-uh), book & bron (bron is our word for milkies).
He does seem to have a preference for words starting with ‘b’ strangely, I was quite taken aback when he started saying car instead of brmmbrmm just a couple of days ago!
Indi likes to ‘help’ me feed the cats now, we have their dry food in a large tub & use a couple of scoops. Then when we’re done filling bowls he’ll open the door to let them in and laughs as they all rush past him!
Well that’s all for now, it’s a bit late and I’m getting tired… is it too late to crochet?… Yes! Go to sleep woman!

My sister-in-law had a baby a couple of weeks ago, a beautiful little girl. It felt so strange holding this tiny baby (who, at 9lb 1oz, was only an ounce smaller than Indi at birth!) after carrying my 30lb toddler around all the time!
SIL had a pretty awful birthing experience though, she had pre-eclampsia and had to birth her baby really quickly. Her first baby was born in perfect surroundings (birth centre) and there were no problems at all so this time round must have been quite horrible for her to adjust to.
My own little baby hasn’t been too well these past 24 hours, it seems to just be a bug and we’re hoping it won’t last much longer. It’s the first time he’s been sick, apart from colds, and it’s hard to see him throwing up anything he eats. We tried giving him a small amount of food last night but he couldn’t keep it down. Even breastmilk keeps coming up too. Thankfully he slept really well last night so I wasn’t too groggy when he started being sick next to me at 4.30 this morning! As soon as he was vomiting on my pillow he got up & started playing! He’s drinking water anyway so won’t get dehydrated.
So we won’t be going to our new home-ed group today, I’ll take him out for some fresh air later to walk the dog but that’ll be it for the next day or so… Poor little boy!

AF returned again this morning, have been feeling awfully cranky lately and I’ve got a monster of a zit on my face!
But it’s not been that long since last time… Actually I just checked and it’s been 25 days! Wow that went very quickly! According to the software I had an LP (luteal phase) of just 5 days but who knows when I actually ovulated?!
I guess I have to let my body get it’s ‘rhythm’ back 
It’s all good though, fresh start and all that… Now where’s that cake…
(oh & thanks to Jeff who went to the shop for pads for me! Must buy another Mooncup!)

Once I hit that privacy setting button that makes this blog available to the world (ha!) that is it, I’ve made it real… I’ll officially be not-not trying… lol!
I’ll be using Ovusoft software but not taking temps as I never get 4 hours straight sleep these days with my little man in bed with us!
According to the software I am 3DPO (days past ovulation) and in the 2WW (two week wait (until testing for pregnancy or for AF (aunt flo – period) to arrive))
Posts may be sporadic but I will update as much as possible.

After nearly 26 months ‘AF’ decided to return to work
The ‘problem’ that we had last year is nearly resolved and I’m starting to get a little broody!
We haven’t really discussed it so I don’t know exactly what page DH is on regarding another baby, I know he would like more but when I don’t know.
I suppose it’s just the same as before we were actively ttc for Indi – if it happens it happens!
For now I’ll just start taking an interest in charting again, although temp taking is out ‘cos Indi still bf’s through the night and I’ll make sure to get a good intake of folic acid every day.
This time round I won’t go ‘mad’ & put on 40lbs! I’ll stay vegan and try to eat as healthily as I can.
