Re: Randoms
I'm 5 months into my Paragard, but no period yet thanks to nursing. The midwife said this might make my initiation period not as brutal as the typical IUD rag.

Yes. Plus I'm a total hypochondriac so I'm nervous about the blood clot issue. Rationally I know it's rare, but...a friend of mine had it happen to her so it freaks me out. I'm weird, I know.
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy
It wasn't until listening to NPR on the Yaz thing that I learned blood clots can be permanent. I thought it was something that was removable or would go away. I felt ignorant.
More ignorance: does it hurt to remove an IUD? From the looks of the device you'd think it'd hurt less going in, but that seems to be where people complain.

Yes, from what I've heard IUD removal is not a big deal.
The pill made me nauseous and angry inside my heart-- and Mirena has been great for me. I still get some PMSy symptoms like being more tired and pissy, but little to no cramps or bleeding gets two huge thumbs up in my book.
My random: I MADE CAKE BALLS! For the first time. I made them to take to our friend's house tonight for dessert, since they are hosting us for dinner. They are swiss chocolate cake with cream cheese, and then I made some fancy little swirls in green and blue on top of the regular chocolate they're dipped in. They look pretty ghetto, but I think they are going to be tasty.

Me neither. I always feel like if I do too many I might accidentally make myself orgasm. That's probably not normal, right?
I'm thanking my lucky stars for long weekends. And wine. And sleep, which I haven't had yet, but am looking forward to doing A LOT of this weekend.
So, hello you guys! How've you all been?
Shamwow made me start doing kegels again.
I'm another big fan of the mirena. I also still get PMS symptoms and spotting for 1-2 days per month, but that's a far cry better than the 10-11 days of bleeding and can't stand up or walk straight cramps I have without hormonal intervention.
I've started seeing a new guy recently. I've known him for almost a decade (we worked together in a summer job in my hometown during college). He requested that we both get tested before any sex happens. Never a bad idea, but also never fun, so I did that today. I would like to have the sex.
Normal? Maybe not. Lucky as hell? Uh huh.
Yeah, I'd be doing my kegels all the time.

Sorry Wendy, that blows.
I hope you get laid soon.

I got in a fight with a guy shoveling snow during the aftermath of the Boxing Day blizzard. I needed to get OUT OF THE HOUSE as I was home alone with the baby (Adam working, daycare closed). The stroller wasn't an option since the sidewalks were still a mess, so I threw her in the Ergo to go meet a friend. We were walking to get lunch and joking about how crazy we were to be venturing outside, and dude starts giving us crap and then makes a comment about me needing to put a hat on my kid. It was sunny, we were only outside for about 10 minutes, and she was just going to rip it off anyway. Not that its any of his business, of course. So I ask him "Is she your kid?" No. "Well then mind your business." Begin tirade of f-bombs from the POS. Keep shoveling, assshole.
