AF woes and a fun weekend!

I have been thinking it's CD1 since Thursday!  For the past 4 days I have been spotting brown blood.  This is my first period since my July miscarriage.  I also ovulated, which is rare, and had thick lining.  I'm not sure what is happening.  This is making it very difficult to book my CD3 appointment.  I originally called Friday and booked CD3 for Monday.  I have since cancelled and made it on Tuesday.  Also, I've been temp tracking and my temperature was still high this morning.  I'm really hoping that I can keep my Tuesday appointment though b/c it is at the perfect time for me to still get to work on time, even if they are running late.

In other news, SR and I had a fun weekend.  On Saturday we had our first Monkeynastix class.  I was so proud of my baby.  She followed all of the instructions from the teacher without my help.  She went to the circle and found her "spot."  She could raise and lower her arms, touch all of her body parts when asked.  She listened and watched for how the teacher used the sticks that were handed out.  And when they were finished she gave them back to the teacher by walking over to her.  The activities outside of the circle were focussed on balance.  SR is not very daring.  She has only once climbed on a couch (at my grandmother's) and has never tried again since.  She is just cautious, I guess.  So, she was hesitant about walking on the balance beam while holding my hands.  She did try to balance and walk across a foam piece on the floor.  But she loved crawling through the tunnel.

This morning, I joined another choice mom and her son (other people were supposed to come but backed out due to weather or other situations) at a nearby farm.  Scarlett had a blast.  We bundled up a lot - long sleeve t-shirts (onesie in her case), hoodies, and warm jackets and hats.  But we were certainly dressed for the weather.  We also got to know a lovely choice family.

SR found out that she LOVES pumpkins.  I think she would have stayed at the pumpkins for the entire visit.















The wagon ride was definitely a highlight.  SR loved the hay and looking at all her surroundings.  She laughed when she toppled backwards into the soft hay.


To end our day, I bought SR a tiny pumpkin.  We won't be doing any carving this year - we live in a condo and won't be trick or treating.  Plus, it goes past her bedtime.  But we will be dressing up to go to Bruce's Mill for a Saturday afternoon trick-or-treating.


Final news, my parents left today for Israel for three weeks.  I'm hoping SR is healthy as I don't have a back-up plan for child care.
