October GBOMB

Good Potty training. We potty trained AJ at 20 months. I feel like it took him a solid few months to really have the hang of it. But we did not night train him; I was feeling lazy about it. The last couple weeks of September, he started waking up dry. He'd be so proud to show us. I love that this happened on its own right when I was getting ready to try night training. The last week of October we switched to underwear at night, and he's done awesome!  Blood test. This goes with fertility, but I had some awesome news on Friday, October 24. Some background: I had my AMH (anti mullerian hormone - indicator for egg reserve) tested in 2020. It was 2.44--normal. I had it tested a year ago through Utah Fertility Center. They told me it was 0.77. I was emotional and confused. I had them re-test, and it came back at 0.83. Well, the surgeon I was trying to get in with had me do cycle day 3 blood work. On 10/24, my results came back. My AMH is at 2.24, which is incredible for my age! This...

October in Review

10/1 I was up early for the gym. It was a busy day at work with popcorn, teaching ESL, and the U&I (culture) Fair in the afternoon. It was really awesome to experience the fair. I stopped to pay rent, picked up AJ, and we went to Itto for dinner. Lettuce from my garden 10/2 I was up early for the gym so I could avoid an even earlier morning on Friday. Matthew said AJ had cried in the middle of the night. I had a virtual appointment to start the process of surgery for endometriosis. Then daycare texted us that he was complaining about his ear and had a fever. My manager's manager picked up Costa Vida (we self-paid), so I had a fun lunch for a change. I went to get him around 1:15, worked at home, and then took him to the doctor. Thankfully she said to wait 3-5 days before starting antibiotics. After ibuprofen AJ felt loads better, but hit a wall again around 7pm. We did bath and bed like normal.  10/3 AJ's sleep was disrupted again--he cried a few times through the night. I ...

September GBOMB

Good Decorations. I normally would decorate for Halloween the last week of September, but AJ has been celebrating Halloween for the past 11 months anyway. Seeing his excitement as we pulled stuff out on September 21 to decorate was so cute and fun. I'll take the extra week of decorations for him. I also got him some small pumpkin and ghost lights to hang around his crib. He is obsessed. I hope our street is fun for Halloween.  Audiobooks. I've been listening to my books at the gym (instead of music) and have gotten a lot more reading done that way. I started on my 9th book by the time September ended.  Garden. Lettuce, spinach, and carrots are coming up! It is exciting to watch. Frankly I was overwhelmed by the cucumber and tomatoes this whole summer, but I'm grateful that was the struggle and not the opposite. We barely got any strawberries, and bugs or birds helped themselves to several of them before they were ripe enough to enjoy. But it's been fun to plant, water, ...
