OMG, I totally wasn't ready for this... lol Just kidding, I'm in love with Our Son and I wouldn't trade the fussy nights for anything!!!!!
I'm doing OK. I'm having mild mood swings... but the doctor says that's normal. I say it isn't. I'm debating on what kind of birth control I want to be on. I was on the Nuvaring before I got pregnant, It was great, and I got pregnant the month after I took it out. No long wait. I've seen an advertisement for a IUD that works for 5 years... That would be perfect, since we said we'd wait 5 years and see if we want another one... I don't think I want to get pregnant again, unless someone can guarantee that I'd get my body back... haha... I'm down to my pre-pregnancy weight and it feels awesome, it only took a week and 6 days to get there... Now lets see if we can lose some extra right?!
No but really, D and I are thinking about adoption possibly, I'd love to adopt a child. I never ever thought that motherhood would be for me, but I LOVE children, and it would be a blessing to my soul to be able to help a child escape the terror of a bad situation... Anyway, that's all that's been up with me, with a little of random thoughts sprinkled in there... I hope everyone has a blessed week!

I tried the pill when I was ready for birth control again but it made my hormones worse. I had to get off of it pronto, then we did the pull-out method and I got Ava..don't recommend it for birth control unless you also practice NFP and know your body. After Ava we got dh got the snip and now I don't worry about it. I think the 5 year IUD sounds ideal, if you're thinking of more babies down the line.
We talk about adoption all the time, maybe in another 5 years when both kids are in school. I love the thought of expanding our family, I just don't want to carry anymore babies.
Enjoy your time with your little ones!
I'm so glad your son is home. Adoption is a great idea. There always are kiddies in need of a home. Good Luck with the birth control.
YAY, baby is home! Now the fun begins...sleepless nights, night feeding etc. Looks like it's happening already. :) How is big sister handling the new addition?
I've never had much luck with BC, but glad it works for you. I want hubby to get a vasectomy, but we'll see.
I'm 110% behind adoption. Actually, we were on the road to doing just that when the lil one surprised us with his presences. Down the road we plan to continue looking into this.
So glad you and your family are doing good...
Currently I've opted to use the 10-year copper IUD, so far so good, it hasn't presented much of a problem for me. I chose the 10-year over the 5-year to have less foreign hormones in my body and to give me plenty of more time to decide on more babies or not.
Wow, Lori, I am really happy that the baby is home with you guys as he should be! That's awesome!
Birth control...hmmm...I could never take it. Pills, I forget. Nuvaring, I'm afraid I will never be able to get out. IUD just sounds painful and i refuse shots or implants. I'm a wimp when it comes to this stuff.
I will probably try the nuvaring like you did because it seems the safest and easiest and I can take it out at anytime without a doctor's visit. Glad to hear it was easy to get pregnant after non use of it as well.
Share more pictures when you get a chance of little man!
