Wednesday AW/Confessions/Open Letters
AW: 6 months until the wedding and I don't have much left to do. Though who knew that booking the drunk bus would take up so much of my time?
I also submitted my application for an MSW program.
Re: Wednesday AW/Confessions/Open Letters
I have a big AW to share! Chase is potty trained!!!! I took off 3 days last week and stayed home alll weekend with him and after day 1, he was completely potty trained. Of course he refused to poop for 3 days, but he finally worked that out. I'm so proud of my little boy. I'm also very excited that even though it will only last for a few months, I will only have ONE kid in pampers!!!! (Sorry for those that have already heard about this a million times on FB)
I am on a raging bender today. This week. I am so crabby and the times I am not being crabby or feeling sorry for myself, I want to cry. My . has not come yet, but I have been experiencing PMS and hormonal *** for like a week and I cannot take it anymore. The worst part is I cannot remember for the life of me when my last . was, I know it was sometime last month but I can't nail down the date. I can just *feel* it coming but nothing. Ugh.
You never know. I went off BCP about 8 months ago and my body went right back to the way it was before I was on it. Which included the awesome cramps, zits and headaches. But still..no adjustment time at all. Best decision ever though.

Ugh, this is what I'm worried about. I've gotten so used to it being short and fairly painless on the pill.
I was on BCP for well over 10 years and it took almost a full year for my period to return. However, I never had regular cycles so I'm sure that had something to do with it. The doc gave me a low dose hormone pill to get it started and I've been good ever since. I also have noticed no change except for maybe more PMS symptoms like crankiness and back cramps.

See above rant.
Besides this period of rage, I love being off the pill! I feel like I know my body better.
Did you get fitted or try them on in store? I remember you talking about them before but I can't remember.
I went off BC in Feb - my cycles returned as normal, but yes, I got the acne, cramps, heavier flow, etc. again like everyone else mentioned. Now if only I could lose the 5 lbs or so that I gained from taking the pill! Haha.
As you probably guessed from my post yesterday, we are no longer TTA. I am excited and nervous. AF came yesterday, so as soon as she leaves, it will be condom-free fun from here on out.
I haven't told anyone IRL.
Don't let it make you feel behind! Just be on your own schedule and enjoy your baby free time. Embrace it!
My little nuggets
Not it!
Jess I so want you to kick this off!
Ha! You're both just overly hormonal and not thinking clearly
Regardless, looks like others will beat me to it since we're not trying yet!
I want to AW my awesome husband who got a huge promotion and raise at work. I am so proud of him!
I know I say this every year,, but as the weather gets warmer I am always reminded of my passionate loathing of Crocs, even on kids. They make me cringe whenever I see them. Gross!
Good luck to all you TTCers!

Congrats to your H! That's awesome.
And I am SOOO with you on the Crocs. They're like sweatboxes for your feet. Aside from what they look like.
LMAO! It was actually pretty good Glee-style.
My AW: I feel like I make "Magic person growing juice".
My kid is EBF and is growing and thriving. I feel like a champ at every weigh in/measurement. She's 26" long (95% for height) and 14 # 11 oz (75% for weight).
Hah! I said to DH last night that I am a total rock star for doing this for six months so far.
Later on, DH actually said, "You know, when (???) we have another, you are going to have to breastfeed again. I'll do whatever it takes to help you."
Also, now that we are at six months, we started solids My AW is that I was absolutely correct -- solids suck and are stupid.
ok, so i generally don't AW this (i just obsess and talk nonstop about it) but I made it to 6 months EPing. I'm weaning now and last night I pumped for the first time in 60 hours. I'm totally proud of myself.
solids are stupid. i have no idea what to be feeding him.
also, i want to move to philly. this is already known tho.
Busy couple weeks for us.
Tomorrow I turn 30 (eek).
Friday Emma turns 1 (eek).
Then we leave for Florida in a week and a half for some much deserved relaxing and anniversary/birthday celebrating!
