I got my Mirena put in last Monday, and I've been spotting ever since...so no sex yet lol. I'm actually kind of annoyed that I'm still spotting and wondering how long it will take to stop/regulate.
Speaking of IUD, my H was like, "So, why did you do the IUD? I thought we were going to try for #2 sooner rather than later." WTF? lol NO. Yes, we have a VERY easy baby thus far who sleeps very well - that doesn't mean I want to be pregnant again anytime soon. I told him that the earliest I'd want to try again is when LO is 18 months and he seemed okay with that. lol.
My midwife said you could spot for up to 3 months... I know that's not what you want to hear I say put a towel down or wash your sheets and go for it! LoL
We are also is the very easy baby club and are seriously considering being OaD!
I'm still pretty sure I'm done at 2 kids but not sure enough for DH to get a vascetomy yet. My pp appt is tomorrow and I still have no clue what birth control I want. I'm breastfeeding so that pretty much leaves the mini pill and mirena. I didn't like the mirena last time I had it. And the mini pill isn't super effective. Not great options. I wish condoms didn't suck so much. That's the easiest route. :/
Also dd1 has been telling me there is a baby boy in my tummy. (impossible) I asked her when he will come and she said next year you will make him. Um...Ok then? She brings this up every couple days. Her story never changes. Creepy.
LO is sleeping well at night but these little cat naps of 10-30 minutes wear me out. I was able to do a yoga video and just as I started to think about lunch he woke up. I need food.
We've dtd 2x now and he's failed to actually pull out. He thinks bc I didn't get my period for 6 mo and then 1 yr with our last two while I was breastfeeding, that that'll be the case this time so I can't get pregnant yet... I don't think baby O wants a little sibling at his first birthday party! Plus I'm pretty sure I don't want a 4th b

Snow ice and up to 50 mph wind gusts. School was still on so I drove to town dropped DD1 off at preschool dropped DS2 off at daycare and beau and I went to my MIL's and had some spiked coffee just for school to be called off at 9. I'm glad I went with my gut to stay in town and wait and see. Picked both DD1 and DS2 up around 11 and its "quiet time". But it's only 3 miles and my MIL invited me to more adult drinks tonight so once H gets home we might head back over
tomorrowisanotherday, my doctor said that too. She said the hormones are only in the uterus and not in the breast milk or the rest of your body. But my LC said she would recommend the copper one because some moms say it has affected their milk supply (although I haven't been able to find medical proof of that either way). My milk supply is already low and very fragile (like with DS1, I completely dried up when I started my period), so that is why I'm overly cautious.
What's the deal with the strings? Can your H feel them? It seems like that would be uncomfortable or dangerous.
Don't quote me on this, but I dried up after my 6 week PP when I went in implonon with DD1 and DS2. And I had a my tubes tied this time 11 weeks later still eBF with no problems. But I had Mirena? In-between DD1 and DS2 and H could feel the strings. It would be uncomfortable for them. Not every one feels them. I got it taken out due to a bad reaction to it.

Haha I got nervous reading this! I didn't get my period while nursing my last two until three months after, and I had trouble with my milk supply with my last, so I was scared to use birth control, and (I know I'll probably get lots of you shaking fingers for saying this, lol) but I am kinda relying on the fact that I didn't get my period the last two times. He's never pulled out. If I find out that I'm pregnant anytime soon, that would really suck. We haven't decided if we 're done yet for good or not, but we both know we need some time to work things out before having another!
You scare me!!! I got pregnant very easily and my body doesn't respond very well to birth control so I'm thankful for the 3 I have and the 2 I lost in miscarriage but I truly wish i could have been on one birth control, not had any problems with it and still be young and dumb. But I wouldn't trade my 3 amazing pull and pray babies for anything. Yay for tubes being tied!! I don't have to worry about nuthin!!!

I know. I really should have tried a birth control, but I once did the Depo shot, and bled the entire year I had that, tried a pill, and it made me really sick, tried another, and got pregnant with DS1. I hate birth control ! If we do decide to have another, after that one, DH will be getting a vasectomy.
DH was "going" to get s vasectomy but I wanted him to get it while I was pregnant so there was time to empty out and not risk another baby. He decided to drag his ass so I just had a tubal while in the hospital with B.
Not sure what is going on with my baby, the last two days have been terrible, he is super fussy, just wants to nurse all day and nothing seems to comfort him for more than a few minutes and he barely naps at all when he is usually a good napper. He cries out a lot like something hurts him. Yesterday was awful and it seems like today is going to be the same. It really makes it hard when I am alone all afternoon and evening with him and my five year old who is pretty demanding and gets super upset when I ask her to give me a break. I don't know what is wrong with the poor guy but I hope it gets better soon. He also has developed a red rash type thing on his face and is spitting up a lot. I wish his 2 month checkup was this week instead of next.

Hope your baby is ok. Has he been pooping? My LO was the fussiest when he was constipated. Its so hard not to worry when they can't tell you whats wrong. The two times lo has cried terribly as if hurt was once when I changed his onsie and again last night while feeding him. Both times I thought I hurt him with how badly he cried. With the onsie I thought maybe I pulled his arm too hard & all day I kept checking that he moved his arm and fingers. Turned out he was hangry. Last night it happened as I nursed in bed so I made sure I wasn't on his leg or arm. Even my husband woke up scared...but it must've been lo's congested nose bothering him as he ate.

Thank you. He has been peeing a pooping normally. I wasn't sure if maybe the rash is bothering him or something else. He just wants to nurse and nurse and then he just spits up. I feel really bad for him but it is also super frustrating...

I had a mirena IUD taken out 2 years ago, I hated it. Like you, I was spotting starting the day they put it in. Them it would vary between spotting and flow everyday for the next 6 months! I hope that doesn't happen to you, but in case it does just know it's happened to other people before too. I won't be getting another one.
I have 4 little bears, just like my name says. 2 girls 2 boys ages 8,5,3, and my newest babe. 2 of my little bears have life threatening food allergies, feel free to ask me more about that!

Well I started off the day with being able to make myself pancakes, so it seemed like a good one. Then LO reminded she's only 5 weeks old and that babies are super needy. Must you cry so much when I'm obviously trying so hard to please you?!
I'm that mom, the one who's looking forward to going back to work. I think. We'll see if that makes things more or less stressful!

We too thought we'd never get pregnant if I wasn't having a period, and I was nursing. (Dumb thinking I know. ) Then the one time we had sex the whole month of April last year, on the floor in our room, we got pregnant! I mean, thankfully because my life is so much more fulfilled now that Liam is in it. However; we won't have sex without me getting the iud first, even though my H is opposed to me getting it.

Also, I called the store about my stroller, it's still not been delivered! What the heck!? I should have just ordered it amazon prime for crying out loud!
All this talk about bc has me nervous. With DD I didn't get my period for 11 months and was pregnant with DS by 13 I had stopped BF at 12 months though. I might have to talk to my Dr at my 6 wk appt next week

bummer I've been oscillating between spring and what seems like my period
There is this 16 year old on my facebook who's at 26 weeks talking about how easy it's going to breast feed and all of this stuff but she has no idea it's not as easy as she thinks it's going to be.
