Details on the Pregnancy
So I will admit that it was a bit of a shocker for me. I had suspicions and kept telling myself that I was ready, but when I got the positive test, I was overwhelmed with uncertainty. However, now I am excited. When I told my parents over Thanksgiving, they were ecstatic instead of saying "Oh no" like I was expecting. So I think because of their joy, I got a lot more excited. This pregnancy is definitely more exhausting. I had alot more nausea and the fatigue was ridiculous some days. Combine that with a demanding 9-10 month old and....let's just say that I was about to blow my brains out. My parents gave me comfort though when they told me that the second child isn't too hard of an adjustment It's the third that makes the world go upside down. I don't plan on having THAT one until at least 2 years after this baby. And since I'm apparently a fertile myrtle, I kind of want to try out this Mirena thing when it's all over. Anybody have one of those? Anyway.....crazy and personal, I know...but I'm curious. So that's it! Well, that's the major stuff.

Congratulations! I think... I hear two is the hardest, and I believe it cause I'm living it! Don't get me wrong, i LOVE my two, but WOW, it's so much more work, Ya, for us baby #3 is gonna be when Boston is like 3 1/2 he has been such a terrible baby, good thing I love him to pieces. We got spoiled with Kennady. Can't wait to find out what it is! Hope to see you guys over the holidays.
Congrats again! I had to comment on the whole mirena. I work at an ob/gyn clinic and we just started them. So far I think everybody likes them except for a girl I work with has had hers for 6 months now and is still spotting but my sister-in-law had one and absolutely loved it! I think it's all in how your body wants to react to it but I highly recommend it!
Congrats guys! IUDs are nice to have and I loved having mine in between our boys. I loved it up until I went to have it removed and the doctor told me it had gone through the wall and scar tissued in when they implanted it. So it worked because it was stuck and it had to be surgically removed. I also know of quite a few people who actually had it get lost inside them. But every form of birth control has its pros and cons. If I could have an IUD again I would though if that helps at all. Good luck and hope you get feeling better.
I'm with Amanda on this one. I've heard the transition from 1 to 2 kids is harder than 2 to 3. Just because the oldest is used to being the only one and the mom is used to only having to be concerned with the one kid. When you have number 3, the oldest has already gotten used to there being another kid around, and number 2 doesn't know any different. So a third isn't quite as big of an upset. And I was just going to say that if somebody actually commented on this public blog about their form of birth control I was going to be weirded out but apparently people like to share about it! I guess I didn't realize I was such a private person, but don't expect me to shout something like that out over the internet!
Congrats on #2!! The transition wasn't hard for us at all. There have been times when it was hard to have 2 kids to take care of, look after, etc. but I thought the transition was pretty easy (after you get the hang of things). We are expecting #3 and I'll let you know how it all turns out! (I'm a bit scared!)
As far as Mirena goes, I would LOVE to try it. It's something I have thought about.
That is how i felt when i found out i was prego with #2. Scared and uncertain about everything. Then after a while and after we moved I finally found peace in it. The nice thing about Jackson being as old as he is... when I go sick and had to visit the John Reve would follow me in and stick his head in the toilet and pretend to spit. I would have to lock myself in the bathroom sometimes so he wouldn't get into... the mess.
The whole birth control thing I have a really hard time with, my body doesn't handle it well at all so that is a tuff one.
Congratulations! That is so exciting. I was terrified of having two kids and it wasn't until we brought Sadie home that I thought I could do this mom of two thing. So for me, the transition was a piece of cake. It was tough but not as hard as I thought it would be. Good luck!
Okay, I had a friend who almost got one, but then she read somewhere that it makes you gain weight. Not sure how true that is, but its worth looking into. I bet its kind of like any birth control...some make you gain weight, its just a matter of finding the one that's right for you. Also, I'm not sure if its covered under insurance...it wasn't under hers and was going to cost around $800. I'm tempted to try one, but I think I'll wait until after I'm done having kids especially if it costs a lot of $$.
By the way, sorry someone was mean to you. Don't worry about it, everyone has their opinions. The trick is to learn when to share your opinion and when not, and how to share it appropriately.
