15 things that could be fun to do with my nephews

Admittedly, I know very little about babies and small children, but here are things that I think could be fun to do with my nephews now or sometime in the future.

  1. The zoo. I love animals and I think kids do too.
  2. The aquarium. I went with one of them before, but he was so so little that he definitely needs to go many more times.
  3. A petting zoo. They'd have to be older, I know.
  4. Dozin' with the Dinos. Much older, but all little boys go through a dinosaur phase, right?
  5. Drag queen story time. Okay maybe this one is more for me.
  6. The beach. Definitely have to be older.
  7. A bookstore or book sale. Yes, they'd have to be older, but I'd love to share my love of books.
  8. To a movie. I love seeing movies and talking about them, plus there are quite a few good kids' movies. But yes, they'd have to be older.
  9. An escape the room. I know, they'd have to be a lot older, but they'll get there! And then we'll solve puzzles together.
  10. Maggie Daley Park. Every time I see it, I want to play on it so this way I can. They may need to be a bit older (not sure what all is there), but they'll get there before long!
  11. Millennium Park face fountains. Classic Chicago fun, but yeah they'd need to be older.
  12. The Lego Store. Yes, they would need to be older, but this place is awesome. Okay, maybe this one is a bit for me too.
  13. The Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. There's a butterfly room!
  14. A parade. So many fun things to see!
  15. Ferris wheel. This is one of the few rides I'll actually do, so they can see a lot of whatever is around us. I would wait for them to be older though as right now having babies on a Ferris wheel would stress me out too much.
Of course, these would all have to be approved by their parents, especially because, as I said before, I know so so little about children. But I do know that I want to spend time with my nephews!

I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

Starting my parental journey, part 8

You can  read part 1 here ,  read part 2 here ,  read part 3 here ,  read part 4 here ,  read part 5 here , read part 6 here , and read part 7 here . I have begun birth control again. Now, that may sound like I'm bailing out of my fertility journey, but it's actually the opposite. In order to get everything ready for the egg retrieval, I need to hop on birth control for a little bit and then hop off. It feels a bit odd to be taking oral birth control, have a birth control arm implant, and be getting ready for an egg retrieval--but that's how it goes (for me at least--getting to keep the arm implant is rare or so I'm told). People have asked me how I'm feeling about this round of egg retrieval and honestly, I haven't thought about it much yet. I am focused on a big stressful event for work and then C2E2 (Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo--basically, Chicago's Comic-Con) which I attend every year. Because of these two events (one stressful, one fun), I del...
