Cy 3; CD 2!
I finally know what day I'm on!
62 days since my last light spotting, I have a real period. It happens exactly when I'm no longer able to ttc so if this does become a monthly thing, I'll have to at least skip next month.
It makes me feel a lot better about what's going on with my body and calmer about next months ultrasound.

Updating, and a maybe hiatus?
I'm on day 51 or something now. I don't think it matters, does it? I'm not cycling, and officially NTNP anyway. So I guess this turned out to not be much of a de ja vu journey after all, as with Katie we tried until we succeeded, never NTNP, just straight TTC, and I had totally normal cycles. This time we stopped TTC to enjoy our summer to the fullest, and I don't have cycles/have unpredictable cycles anyway.
Have I mentioned we're officially NTNP? It's so gloriously relaxing this way. Sure, we're not getting pregnant with it, but I'm not stressed out. My life isn't ruled by a chart. I love the idea of having another baby and welcome a pregnancy whenever it decides to come along, but I'm not living my every day worrying, fretting, and stressing over it. It'll happen, most likely at the most inconvient timing possible. For now, I'm carefree, and I love that I'm carefree. I'm never carefree in pregnancy as it's full of hormones, fear and pain. I'm so enjoying this carefree lifestyle with Katie. This summer is feeling amazing. We wake up, eat whatever we want to eat (instead of having to be picky because I'm vomitting from every smell possible), we clean up, then we go to the pool and splash around in the water, sun bathe, go on a nice long walk, play on the porch, go for night time strolls, not worry about being so incredibly tired that I can't do anything all day, and we finally have a rhythm down to keeping the house clean and balancing it with my fun craft and summer activities. Life is going really well right now. I'm very blissful. I'm enjoying my time with my one and only baby girl, who's no longer a baby (a fact that's rubbed in my face daily as I gather supplies and plan for her party that's just in a few short weeks).
I went to the doctor's last week (or was it this week? Who knows!) and he cleared me for getting pregnant this year. He said that everything checked out, the wacky cycles are most likely from breastfeeding as I assumed it was, and he had no concerns. Yay! Next month I'll be getting my routine ultrasound to further put everyone's mind at ease.
It's hard keeping up this journal now, as I'm not doing what the original purpose of the journal is for. I may just go on hiatus with it, and wait until I am TTC again if that happens (the more okay with me being not pregnant that I become, the more certain I am that a pregnancy will happen when I find it most inconvient!) We'll see. For now, yay wonderful summer!
