Might go to the park this afternoon if the storm clouds pass us by. I also have a mountain of clean laundry to fold. DS and I ended up going shopping yesterday, and he got his first pair of rubber soled shoes. He's too big! And walking probably 30% of the time now!
Bonus: Cheerios. G's are covered in Greek yogurt and slightly frozen, and mine are plain with milk.
Well it was 85 degrees yesterday and like 45, windy, and rainy today. So we are going to do a Sam's club trip this morning and then chill at home.
Last night we had a date nite in the family room after the girls were in bed and finally watched Star Wars. I liked it. It was kind of predictable and seeing how old the original cast looked made me feel old but I still enjoyed it!
I also forgot to mention that this week is national medical laboratory professionals week! Thank a lab tech this week We don't get the glory or recognition of an RN but we are a critical part of patient care (and have a four year degree; sorry bitter about the non recognition part).
Oh breakfast was matzo (I'm not Jewish I just like it) for me. The girls had waffles and mandarin oranges. DD1 also had a hard boiled egg bc they are her fav.
Breakfast today was scrambled cheesy eggs and Cheerios for DD and coco pebbles for me because I'm 12 lol.
We went to the library again this morning then it's laundry for me during C's nap. It's our anniversary today so the three of us are going out to dinner tonight.
And DD is being exceptionally cute today. I love it. She keeps yelling "mum!" And when I say "what baby?" She starts mumbling. And she literally just dove head first onto my lap because she heard a car coming down our street. Annnnnd every time I give her a bite of her pb&j I sing "I don't think you're ready for this jelly". She laughs so hard and then takes a big bite. It's adorable.
So I started taking birth control pills a month and half ago. I'm taking the Seasonale brand where you only get your period every three months. It sucks, i hate it.
What's the deal with stopping mid pack? What about starting a new brand?
mishka29 hmm I know they've switched my brand before, but I'm pretty sure it was the same kind, just with a different name. But I hate mine too, I feel your pain.

Just curious why don't you like it? I would ask your GP or gyne about the protocol for switching pills. Sorry, no advice.

I've been having break through bleeding for 2 weeks plus now, I've been putting on weight very quickly, low sex drive, headaches. The point was to have a period every 3 months, not a constant one!

You can quit midpack. You'll probably start your period in a few days due to the hormone drop. Talk to your OB or PCP about trying a different brand. If it'd be a while to get into your Dr, you can probably get an appointment quickly with Planned Parenthood; I've found them to be the most knowledgeable about all the different formulations and most willing to find something that fits your needs. A lot of doctors push trying a brand for 3 months before switching, but that's a long time to be miserable and there's a ton of brands and formulations out there.

I bought a fountain pen today and I'm so excited to start using it. Nothing super fancy, but it does only take one brand of cartridges; apparently most pens can take any brand. I feel fancy having it.
I'm going to start travel journaling. I should have started sometime before I hit over 20 countries, but that's no reason to start now. I'll probably also write thoughts on the previous trips as I go through pictures. Hoping a fancy pen inspires me.
Just scheduled Anna's 15mo appointment. Where has the time gone?!
Is the next after that at 18 months or 2 years? We're moving back to the US when DS is 17 months and his last developmental appointment was at 8 months (the next would be at 18 months here). I have a feeling the US pedi will be disappointed in us.
TMI: I gain weight easily and have a low sex drive. I just thought that was just because I have kids Hmmm, maybe I don't like my bcp. Well I might be able to go off bc pills totally because DH is going to ask about a vasectomy at his yearly physical! He also has a few cysts on his "boys" (I talked about that scary time in our lives on TB) that bother him occasionally. I was hoping maybe they could take care of both during the procedure but I have no idea if that's even possible. That is way out of my realm of science/medicine.
seamonster iirc there is an 18mo as well due to vaccination scheduling. For you they might take a look at what you've done already and figure out a schedule for you. I think they'd be understanding of that. My pedi office is very diverse and I'm sure they get that all the time! Don't worry about it!

Hiya I tired after a short night thanks to my dog. MIL has left and I am laying on the couch while child watches mmch. I would complain that Martian mickey sounds obnoxious, but I am by happy for the child distraction so I can take a break for a minute.

Thanks! I did actually get two different prescriptions at the dr - my usual and this new kind. So I've already filled the new kind and given DH the go ahead on that vasectomy! Lol

yeah this pill business finally made me give DH the go ahead on the vasectomy. I guess bc I was on pills for 14 years I didn't realize what things were like without them. Having been off for 4 years and going back on I'm definitely seeing changes.

I haven't been on any bc for a few months, we've just been using condoms on the rare occasion its necessary. I floated the idea that if/when we have #2 DH get a vasectomy and he seems to think its "easier" for me to be on the pill forever... I guess I could try an IUD but I think he's going to have to get over the vasectomy thing.
We have a little kitchen set up in our dining room while the kitchen reno is going on and tonight DD found a can chili in a box in there and carried it all over the house. It was the only thing she played with all evening, somehow it occupied her for 2 hours.

It drives me crazy when guys think it's easier for women to just take bc. It is not. It's a daily responsibility and there are so many health risks with hormonal bc. It's just so common it seems absolutely safe. I get a vasectomy is scary and not without risks but the risks are generally lower AND it's one day. Thank God my husband can appreciate my misery when I was on bcp and how life changing getting off it was for me so he is 100% OK with condoms/ vasectomy when the time comes.
About the iud do some serious research. So many women on my local forum... Like 20 have gotten pregnant (many had subsequent miscarriages unfortunately) on them, others have had them rupture their uterus. It's not joke man. I have heard it's about experience with placement but after seeing it come up all the time I just can't ever do it.

15 month appointments?! Gosh. I guess we should unsticky the 12 mo / one year threads, huh? Do y'all want a 15 month stats thread or just to share in randoms? I guess S already had hers, aggiebug?

Crazy to think we are at 15 months! S hit that milestone yesterday, her appointment is on Friday
