penguin129 I believe that Alabama has AllKids. We had to make an appointment to talk with someone about our options so we should have everything settled in about a week. *I hope*
TheEleventhHour I must have missed something. Why are you off hormonal BC?
I actually have always responded well to hormaonal BC, so I can totally understand how you are feeling. When I was TTC I was a MESS.
I was on the pill for a decade with no issues. I loved it because I had zero PMS and a 3 day period. For whatever reason after DS was born hormonal BC made me feel horrible. I tried Mirena and a couple of pills and just felt really off on them all. I've had other people tell me they stopped responding well to hormonal BC after pregnancy too so I guess its a thing that can happen.
I have a copper IUD now. It is a weird trade off. I don't feel awful/depressed/anxious non-stop like I did on the pill but I now I have worse PMS and much longer cycles. Waiting around for my period drives me nuts. NUTS.
That's sucks! I'm sorry. A lot of things changed about my cycle as well after Josie was born.
@misspeansmama love tit is for your husband doing better. I hope your mom gets better soon.
The good: We are going to see John Oliver on Saturday!
The bad: It might snow. Meh.
The ugly: We have to get x-rays for my older cat. There is something under her eye causing her to constantly squint. We have an appointment for her on the 29th, but they said they may not even do the x-ray that day. So frustrating. The vet said it could be anything from an impacted tooth to a tumor. I'm crossing my fingers that it's not serious. I know she is older (13), but the thought of her being really sick makes me want to cry.
FX to your kitty. My dog had a stomach bug for a few days and I was in tears, so I can only imagine what that might feel like.

Good we had a great doctor appointment today, its always good to have them reassure you everything is on track. Bad I'm to awake to nap but I work 10 to 2 tonight so I need to sleep. Ugly I seriously question if my marriage will make it. Our relationship has never really been great but it seems to be at a standstill of sorts.
Oh no-- that's always rough. It took me a really long time to make a decision about what I wanted to do in my situation, but I will tell you I had known for a long time that things were not right. PM me if you need to talk.
Thanks. I'm giving this a 5 year treatment of sorts. I refuse to break things off before then but I'm also not jumping into anything crazy either. Et no buying a house or anything like that. Its difficult given we almost never see each other sadly that actually helps thing here. But we also never have real time.to sit down and have important talks. Let alone hes not the most pleasant person all the time.
helenahhandbasket That schedule sounds rough. I'm sorry you're feeling so rushed.
Good: My migraine went away almost as quickly as it appeared. So thankful for Imitrex.
Bad: My sister was going to come over at least once a week to occupy my dude so I could get stuff done around the house. She was offered a position as an assistant coach for JV softball and she would just love it. It would be great for her to get out of the house and do something she likes, but I'll have to find a mother's helper elsewhere if she accepts.
Ugly: Atticus continues boycotting naps. He is such a wreck. Someone please tell him it's not okay to quit napping at 14 months?

Good: We got new beds! A twin for DD, and a king for DH and I. DH just finished a diy bed frame today, and we are tackling the head board together. We also made diy window box valences- love diy projects!
Bad: work is really stressful and crazy right now. I love my job, but right now it's hard on the head
Ugly: my fibroid has me pretty stressed in general. We have decided this is our last go at TFAS, and if I miscarry we are done. I just hate not knowing what's going to happen, and it's got my overthinking things

purplehaze11 Those sound like awesome DIY projects! DH has been wanting to do a headboard for so long. Hugs about the fibroid! I am sorry that is stressing you out.
helenahhandbasket Thanks for listening me bitch about my cycle I don't know why it is bothering me so much. I feel dumb about constantly complaining about it!

G: I saw a ton of snow geese today. At least I think I did. If it was snow geese, they're super early, but that means spring really is around the corner, and I'm so ready for that!
B: We have to take Judith for a sleep study. I know that's going to fly as well as a lead balloon, and she might have to have her tonsils and adenoids removed to stop the snoring.
U: I'm going to have a funky shaped bruise on my leg because I misjudged a turn while walking, and ran right into the corner of the circulation desk in the library this afternoon. Fun times.
G: DD peed on the potty three times today. It's her first day!
B: I was having a working mom guilt moment because we have to put DD down earlier for bed and it gives us even less time. Gives me the sads
U: I'm not sure how this potty training thing is going to go and I know it's going to be a lot of work and a long haul especially because she's at a sitters during the day and with us at night so I don't want to confuse her.

The Good I'm settled into my new place and enjoying being in the nesting phase of things. I feel like I am basically ready to go, just waiting for this kid to finish cooking.
The Bad My husband wants me to get a tubal ligation as our birth control and I don't want to, but like most men he doesn't want a vasectomy. He has no reason for this and I think it's just straight up fear of the pain on his end but I want to tell him to suck it up. I am pushing his kid out, the least he could do is have a week of mild discomfort.
The Ugly Work's crazy and it's only going to get crazier. They're putting a stop on a lot of my stuff, but because we have a new hiring/budget freeze until the beginning of the fiscal year (July 1st, I'll be back from maternity leave for a month at least) I have a feeling I will be getting a lot of emails and phone calls while I'm out.
@misspeansmama, hope your Mom improves soon and gets to go home!
The Good: Life in general!
The Bad: We had expected Mike to return to work mid-february (he's been laid off since October 2), and just found out he may be laid off until May or June. I'm still on mat leave, so money is tight be at least we both get to be home with Spencer
The Ugly: Just discovered Ketchup Doritos. I ate nearly an entire bag myself tonight. Like, the large bag.
Good: dh and I seem to be in a good place right now. We talk a lot, we have dates planned, we split house and kids duties. We have sex on the regular.
Bad: DD's behavior is so hit and miss. So much back talk and attitude and no listening. Followed by endless declarations of love and actually following through on her chores. It's totally multiple personality disorder
Ugly: this whatever it is with my tummy is not going away. Going on day 3. I may go to the Dr. Tomorrow.
The good: DH and I just got back from our first weekend away without LO (not good that it's over, but...) The bad: I got a rejection for a work-related opportunity I really wanted today. The ugly: I've gained 12 pounds/2 sizes in less than 3 months, I'm breaking out, and I lose my mind about a week out of every month. Mirena is coming out and getting replaced with paragard as soon as it comes in. We talked v, but I don't want to push DH to that, and I don't want to wait either.
The good -I might not have to work this weekend and I really need a break! The bad - ds hates sleep. He's 3 and still up at least twice a night and fights bedtime. I just want him to sleep!!! The ugly- my car died getting into the freeway this morning. I was able to limp it home and to the mechanic. So not what I needed in the middle of a crazy work week for DH and I!!!!

casey I had a terrible reaction to my Mirena as well. I barely made it a year with it in. FX the paraguard is better for you.

Oh no! I serioulsy hate car troubles. I hope it's not a huge repair.

casey I reacted terribly to Mirena too. I only made it 4 months. It kind of annoyed me because doctors act like it is the best IUD option but after researching it after my reaction I came across A LOT of women who have not done well with it at all. And in Canada they don't recommend it for women with history of anxiety or depression which I have but they do not have the same warning in the US! I have had Paragard for almost a year with no issues. I hope Paragard works better for you!
NatashaBromanoff OMG DH wants me to get a tubal too! I got SO mad at him for even suggesting it. A tubal requires general anesthesia in a fucking OR! A vasectomy can be done outpatient in less than 10 minutes with a little shot of lidocaine and a few days of some ball bruising. FFS. I got Paragard which is good until 2024 then he is getting a V whether he likes it or not! I will drag him there!
Thank you helenahhandbasket and TheEleventhHour! I had paragard pre-baby with just the extra cramping/bleeding. OB talked me into mirena instead. It's been hard to weed out pp, bf, bc, and new normal. All this stuff really pronounced since I stopped pumping at work 5 months ago. Fingers crossed.

Mirena is bad! My sister had one and it basically exploded inside her and embedded into her uterus. Ironically, when I was in giving birth to Spencer, she was in the hospital having her cervix dilated so they could remove the parts. She can't have kids now
