First time mom and my daughter is ready to start potty-training. I'm in no rush (she's probably in more of a rush than I am, ha ha). My question is, she knows how to sit on the potty, but she doesn't know yet that she should pee on the potty. Does that just come with time, or is there any way I can help her understand?

Just curious, for those of you that only do OPKs and not anything else, when do you record ovulation on your fertility app? The past couple months I've been recording ovulation as the day after I get a positive OPK.

I'll let you guys know if it works. 😉😂

AF showed up today, so I guess now I'm hoping for a Thanksgiving baby instead of a Halloween baby. This doesn't jive well with school unfortunately, but oh well. I was expecting it not to take very long just like last time. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. 🙂

Today, someone I know said, "Your daughter is so cute. She's the same age as my granddaughter. They're having another one in June." I just thought in my head, "Yup, working on it, lol! It's just taking a little longer than I expected is all!" 😕😆

I'd love it if there was a student mom group, but I don't want to be an admin...anyone else interested in this?

If I could go back in time I wouldn't do it differently because I love my daughter, but I wish I had gotten my bachelor's degree before having kids. Being a mom and a student is really hard. I'm probably gonna have to drop one of my classes b/c the work load will be too much. 😥That, and even though I graduate in August I still don't know what the heck I'm doing after that.

Last semester I had classes two days a week. I liked it, but missed my daughter all day on those days and felt bad she wasn't with me.

This semester I'm doing all online. It's nice, because I can be with my daughter all the time and don't have to travel in bad weather. But... now my calendar looks so empty and I'm so bored and miss being around other adults.

I've never done the ovulation tests before, but I just ordered some to try this month. Tell me, how does that work? When do you start testing? When you get a positive, does that mean you're currently ovulating or that you're about to ovulate? Do you test every 12 or 24 hours or at a certain time of day?

I'm coming up on the last week of school and finals the week after that. I can't tell you how many times these past couple weeks I've felt like quitting school all together. Ugh. 😞
