1. I felt crappy all day today. So crappy that when I put Carolyn down for her nap at 10:30, I got back in bed and took a two hour nap.
2. I went off my birth control about a month ago. Because I HATE the way I feel when I'm on it. And also because it's time for my yearly girl doctor appointment...since we don't have any insurance and they wanted $150 in cash up front, I cancelled the appointment. Without the appointment, the doctor won't re-up my prescription.
3. To say that I'm relieved to not have to go to that appointment is an understatement. I was already starting to get anxiety riddled.
4. However, the first period after you come off birth control is horrible. My entire body hurts. Like even the joints of my fingers hurt. I'm scared I'm going to implode.
5. Did you know that they have apps for your phone to monitor your fertility? Since I'm no longer on the big BC and we're not quite ready for another Little Bit, I downloaded one in an effort to not get pregnant. Is that TMI? Is this entire post TMI?
6. It's a good thing I downloaded it, too, because I apparently have never really known anything about getting pregnant...like who knew that you're fertile for like 10 days out of every cycle? Ok, so not 10 days. But it's a lot longer than I thought it was.
7. Husband made some wicked delicious BBQ chicken on the grill tonight.
8. Husband's final appointment with the surgeon was Tuesday. We no longer have to do anything but keep the wound covered. It's healing at an amazing rate. The scar is going to be just outstanding.
9. My friend, Becky, whose Husband, John, works for EA scored Husband a copy of Madden 2012 for the xBox. Husband has already started planning a tournament with his friends. And, he's happy that someone has finally sent him a present...while he was in the hospital both my mother and his father sent packages just for me.
10. We had to buy Carolyn some new tenny runners today. Because her other ones stink so bad, we're not welcome anywhere where we have to take our shoes off.

I have two words for you: barrier method.
Trying to NFP (natural family planning) before you are very familiar with your, well, everything, is a recipe for pregnancy. (Seriously. Why do you think my kids are 20 months apart? Um, yeah. TWO WEEKS! That's all it took to get knocked up again.)
The book, "Taking Charge of Your Fertility" is a good place to start.
As far as my credibility on this subject, my sister didn't listen to me and she just had her second baby (21 months after her first). Whatever. Now I get to laugh as she has to diaper TWO babies! (Bwah hahaha!)
Girl, I just need to give you my email. :)
I can't remember my last period but I do remember before I ever went on BC they were painful! Good luck with that and the whole not getting pregnant bit.
In glad husband likes his game. I hope he wins the tourney.
Kevin used to have some sandals that smelled so bad he didn't want to wear them. A couple weeks ago I told him he could put them in the garbage. He got a huge grin, marched over and tossed them in.
