Re: ok, eff this shiit.
I was just going to mention that lol
So H just took the Strengths Quest thing and his #1 is Harmony.... That's my very last
Also, I'm glad you said so Mara and Sarah. It took us about half an hour to get our damn tree up on the base too.

I thought you are not supposed to have sex for at least 6 weeks after giving birth to let your vag heal.
I feel bad for that womans vagina. I would have told H to back the eff up.

IVF #2 = BFP. Severe OHSS. 4 Drainings. TWINS!
Haha, I've never heard of 'Irish twins', even though my dad's family is Irish and has 4 kids, 9 months apart each.
Pirate, I am the opposite, H is usually a scrooge and doesn't want a tree, but this year he said yes! I'm cleaning and rearranging the house today, he gets off at three, and I cannot wait to buy and decorate this bad boy.
We'll see how the cat is though, I wanted a small table top, but H is insisting on a big one, and that "she needs to learn" how to be around a big tree. Oh boy, we'll see.

My coworoker was telling me the other night about how some people he knew had a baby, and then had sex the day they got home from the hospital and got pregnant from that.
Is it even possible to ovulate that quickly after giving birth?

Its unlikely but anything is possible when your hormones go haywire like that. Most people wait 4-6 weeks after a vaginal birth, but those with c-sections sometimes don't wait that long. There are some on my month board that still haven't had sex again.. for some of them its been almost a year. I amy have no sex drive to speak of, but that's way too damned long.
Got it. Huh. I'm surprised I didn't know this.
Reddy, Whisky is surprisingly good with our tree. He likes to explore it (sniffing the tree or ornaments, sleeping on the presents) but for the most part he just sticks to the couch or bed. Although he does like sleeping under the tree when it's on. And he hides back there when it's time for medicine since he knows it's hard to get him out.
Holy crap, sarah, no sex for a year for some of them? I'm not the most sexual person ever but yeah, even a month would be too long for us (save for a medical condition that prevented sex, of course)
Bless them. I used to want kids close in age because my siblings were 14 months apart and I was jealous of how close they were. Then I read that if the 2nd child is born within 12 months of the first child, s/he is three times more likely to have autism. Then I gave birth and was all "helllll no." Babies are a lot of work, yo.
Re: sex, I was on pelvic rest the last 9 weeks of my pregnancy so I was pretty much ready to go at 3 weeks post-partem. I waited the requisite 6 weeks though. I got a Mirena put in last week and it *** sucks. I haven't stopped bleeding since Friday. But I won't get pregnant! Yay! /sarcasm

I'd always heard Irish twins is if they are born within 12 months. Other than that I am unable to contribute to the baby talk.
There is no snow, but we have a nice layer of icy frost on the roads, here. I want snow damnit.
Also, anyone heard of SniqueAway? Well there is a hotel (I always thought it was a housing development) that is near my city on there. Listed as the location is says the place is in my city, but it really isn't. It is like 10 miles away, in the middle of no where.
Hey everyone!
My brother and I are a little over 2 years apart. I think that's what I'll shoot for. Not too close or too far in age from each other.
No, what is it? It sounds kind of shady.

I always wanted an older brother too! Y'know to protect me and stuff. lol Luckily my brother is bigger than me so he can still do that part.
I've heard of it, but never used it. It sounds similar to Voyage Prive, which I haven't used either, but I get the emails for it. If you ever use it, let me know if you like the buying/booking process. I hate paying full price for anything travel-related.
I had it in at one point of my life and I hated it. My cramps were so bad for even 6 months after the fact. They ended up taking it out. The not having to remembre my pill every day was awesome.. but I didn't really like the whole experience. I do know some people that liked it. I don't think there's a magical formula for it working or not. Although I think a lot has to do if you've had kids or not.

I had the absolute worst experience possible, so you might not want my input on it.
Summary: Had the IUD inserted. According to doctor, "worst one she's ever done."
Felt like I was dying for 5 months. Slept with my H about 3 times in 5 months; bled just about every other day. Gained 17 pounds.
Had it removed, and sobbed from pain for the next two days.

Good lord, Steph. That just sounds lovely. Well so far my mom is the only person I know who has had a good experience with it. This does not make me optimistic.

I've never had kids and have had Mirena for about 9 months now and I love it. It's been great for me. I had some spotting and cramping for the first couple months but I completely forget that it's there now.
Hormones are such a tricky thing to get right. Unfortunately, it seems like it's trial and error with finding what works well with your body.
FWIW, I had a really bad experience with the NuvaRing, too. So I think my body just doesn't like the constant hormones.

The permanent BC options kind of scare me a bit.
On the baby topic, my nephews are almost exactly a year apart. One was born on the 19th of December and one on the 21st. The second one was an oops but I am with you guys why would you even be having sex at that point.
Ugh. That's what I was afraid of.
I almost passed out from the pain of having it inserted. I gave birth drug-free, for point of reference.
