Hi!

I went for my 6 week check up today. The doctor lifted the sheet up to get started and took one glance at my vagina, stopped, looked at me and said, "Kegals, lady! Kegals!"   I can't even tell you how sexy that made me feel. That a one second glance at my lady bits stopped her in her tracks. All I can picture is a turkey carcass needing to be stuffed. Anyway, she mentioned that if I can't get my huge, flapping vagina back on track that I may need to consider surgery to hoist the muscle back in place. Sweet.

Lauren is smiling now. I don't think it has anything to do with my vagina. She's just a happy baby. A happy, smug baby with an intact vagina. Wear it well, daughter...

Alex does not have a vagina. But he's smiling too.

I ordered the conversion kit for Alex's crib to turn it into a big boy bed and it's going to take 4-6 weeks to get here. Suuuuuuure wish I knew it was going to take that long ahead of time so I could have ordered it MONTHS AGO. It's going to be a looooong 4-6weeks of him not napping and climbing out constantly. Also, the crib does not have a huge, flapping vagina.

I think that's all I've got at the moment.

  • On last night's episode of Jersey Shore, I saw they had a shirt or onesie or something in the shop they work at that said "I tore Mommy a new one".  You should get that for Lauren and Aelickxs.

  • I do Kegels whenever anyone mentions them.  In fact, I should sign up to get an e-mail every morning with the subject line KEGELS to ensure that I do them.

    I do them every time I read or hear the word. I did them while reading your post.

    I spelled kegels wrong.

    (and all the vaginas went doo-doo-dooo-do-do-dooo)

  • That is SO WEIRD!   i was just thinking about your vagina this morning.   Don't go motorcycle riding commando!

    No you are not. LoL.

    My randoms:

    Friend coming into town tonight and I'm excited to see but I don't want anyone at my house. Too bad I offered to let her stay the weekend in our guest room. I'm grumpy as hell and just want to sleep and not entertain.

    H wants me to go out tomorrow night with his friend for his wifes 30th bday. I don't want to go because I don't want to be around drunk people. H has no idea why this would be 0 fun for me. I feel old

    I have brown sugar cinn pop tarts and an oreo capp and I am loving it right now.

  • I have no idea if I'm doing my kegels correctly.  I need a personal trainer.

    Me either. I feel like all I am doing is strengthening my butthole.

    And really, who needs a strong butthole. In reality it just needs to be strong enough to clip your poo in half.

  • I love you for contacting me this far out! :)  No problem on time for you, mama.
    I just finished 2 overnight orders because they contacted me a week before they needed to mail.  It's lucky I have a powerful lust for paper.

    ETA: I also have a powerful lust for Angie. Hilarious!!

  • Tell me if you think this is weird:
    I have a coworker who likes to come sit in my cube and talk to me (the one who laughed at my outfit one day).  She's found my weakness in that I can't stand to have someone just stare at me in silence, so I end up chatting with her just to make the awkwardness go away.  So the other day, I mentioned that we're adopting my IL's cat to her.  The next day, I was walking down the hall and a different coworker said to me, "I hear you're getting a cat!"  It weirded me out -- it's hardly a newsworthy event so why is she telling other people my stories?

    Oh god no. She would not be into that, either. Plus she's a little big for a purse dog. She was REALLY good in the car, so that's encouraging, but she's not coming everywhere. Especially not before she learns how not to lose her shiit around other dogs.

  • Okay, good.  I didn't think you were the type to carry your dog, but you never know.  Some people act like smaller dogs have no legs sometimes.

    Be sure to get her a doggie seatbelt!  I'm ashamed to say I almost never use Maggie's because we never drive more than a couple miles with her in the car, and I need to get better about that.

    Wait, they make seatbelts for dogs?  Is is like a car seat they sit in and get belted in, or does it attach to your current seatbelt?

  • TMI, sorry:

    I think I might get rid of my IUD. I really hate it. My periods used to be pretty pain-free and 5 days at most. Now between the cramps and the ridiculous amounts of bleeding, I'm out of commission for like 2, 2/12 weeks a month. So yes, the IUD is preventing pregnancy just fine. I've had it for like 6 months, but I feel like that's enough time for my body to get used to it, yes? I knew there was a chance of increased bleeding with the Paragard, but this is ridiculous.

  • There are a variety of models, but we have this one so she can look out either window:

  • That is such a smart idea, considering I always worry a little bit when I see dogs hanging out of windows.  And I like how with that model the pups can go between the two windows.

  • Coley, we have this nylon strap with a buckle at either end. One end hooks to the anchor inbetween the seats, the other end to her harness. I think it was like $10 or so, but we already had the harness. She's able to lie down or sit up and look out the window. I think this is it? http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3951212

    If it helps, I'm 9 or 10 months in and am definitely seeing an improvement. So there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

  • Honestly Bethie, I think you should ditch it.  6 months is long enough to wait for your body to regulate.  There's a possibility it could finally calm down in another few months, but is it worth it if you're out of commission for half the month every month?  You're not reaping any benefits.  Pull that sucker out.  Either try to Mirena (you never know, it might work wonders for you) or condoms or PnP.
