this baby is growing too fast!
she is going to be a baby duckie for halloween,
and i love this costume because i've got it for her
in two sizes.
my favorite part about the costume is the huge amount of fluff through the whole body and butt area. frau meow has converted to a duck!
she liked the costume too until the hood kept hiding her eyeballs. slash it got in the way of a VERY important feeding session. (apparently)
this girl coos and gurgles all day. she said mama for the first time yesterday but she has no idea what it meant to me! she's just trying out all her sounds, while she spins around on the ground like a sun dial. trying to take the whooole big world in.
all men stop reading: you'll thank me later
i had an iud put in last week and it's been giving me some trouble. believe me when i tell you that b and i have tried almost every single thing out there on the market besides an iud and removing the baby making hardware altogether. and spent a huge amount on all of it. so those were the last two options. i was so excited initially but i didn't stop to consider the side effects...
normally i'm a light bleeder. i did NOT get the copper iud, so i expected spotting and some bleeding but not the amount that comes with the copper iud. i am drowning in blood.
i cant remember if that's supposed to happen or not. i knew it was a possibility, but didnt think it was a probability.
oh poop.
and i've been having REALLY REALLY awful migraines. i HAVE NEVER HAD A HEADACHE like these ones. and they started the day after i got the iud and they ARE listed as a primary symptom of the iud i got... but so is cerebral ischemia. (in association with the migraines) which is basically a stroke and can cause irreversible brain damage.
sweet.
on the fda website it says, CALL YOUR HEALTH PRACTITIONER if you experience any of these symptoms and the first one listed is the sudden onset of severe migraines (these were so bad that i was having trouble seeing) (i felt like i was walking around with cross eye glasses on or something) so, i called my ob office. a nurse who obviously didn't want her labor day weekend interrupted or who knew i have acute anxiety had a really nice time explaining away my headaches and telling me it was probably just allergies or a tension headache (both of which ive NEVER EVER HAD in my life). she told me that since the iud was so expensive that it would be a waste to just take it out because of a headache.) medicine, sleep, and water have not helped these headaches. i am not crazy.
if i get brain damage or bleed to death i told b he can have my ipod.
not that that even matters anymore since he got an iphone.
i hate birth control, but i hate being pregnant more.
grace, i love you. you are laying on the floor looking up at your purple fan and pointing and cooing. loudly.

Um. IUD's are terrifying. I hope you are okay! And, if such a creature exists, find a medical practitioner that gives a crap about your health, because that's their effing JOB.
(Sorry if this comment is forceful...I just got my wisdom teeth out and the drugs also remove my filter.)
The point is I love ya and I want you to live.
I had a NON-COPPER IUD put in after our first, and it got rid of my period completely. Which was fine, until we were ready to try for another one. It took 13 months to get my period back! That part WAS annoying. TMI? Your bleeding issue does sound like something you might want to talk to the doctor about though. I have considered getting one of those little tiny arm things. I know, that's not a good description, but my sister swears by it! Good luck with all that!
I'm 100% against any kind of hormonal birth control. Your body needs to sluff off the lining to maintain balance, cleanliness, and overall menstrual health. When you mess with your bodies chemical balance your asking for trouble. I have had many friends have very severe and life altering side effects to hormonal birth control. I wouldn't touch it with a nine foot pole. It is your body do what you want but research extensively the method you choose.
