I have nothing that I can think of to write, so here are a few things I strung together as I looked around my desk:
- I can’t find my stamps. I bought a book of them before we moved, and I thought it was in the box with my other mailing-related things, but NO. Cannot find stamps. And because I am such a weirdo about buying something that I already have, there are several things that should have been mailed a few weeks ago (don’t worry, none of them are bills, heh) but are STILL sitting in the mail file.
- I need to change the name on my social security card. That’s one of the things lying about waiting to be mailed. The reason I am mailing it is that I HATE standing in line at the SSA in downtown Flint. HATE. Even when I’m not pregnant, I dislike standing in long useless lines.
- The main reason I need to change my social security card now, rather than later, is that I filled out a FAFSA for this upcoming school year because something keeps tugging at me to get my degree.
- I can’t think of a specific reason to finish school other than I feel like I need to. Is that weird? Am I planning to do something in the future that’s actually pointless for me?
- Thinking about the future reminds me that after Serenity is born, I need me some birth control. Some NON-HORMONAL BIRTH CONTROL. Because me and hormones are BAD together. Any suggestions?
Ermm… that’s it.

I hear the IUD works pretty well. I don’t have any personal experience with it though, I do love my daily dose of hormones.

Yeah, an IUD is what I think I’m probably most interested in. I’m hoping that a few people can give me some feedback about what they’re actually like. :)
Good luck with your hormones! :D
There are two types of IUDs – standard copper ones and the Mirena. I’ve had both. The Mirena has a very very small amount of hormone in it, but not enough to matter in the blood stream (I can’t do hormones either.)
I did NOT like the copper IUD – my personal experience is that I had 2 week long very very heavy periods and it made me anemic.
I have LOVED the Mirena – however, as with anything YMMV. I do not have periods at all any more – it’s wonderful (I do spot once a month, but that’s it.) I still have PMS however. :) I did spot for awhile after I got it, then my periods slowly went away.
It’s best to get the IUD shortly after birth (6 weeks? 2 months? I can’t remember) – it’s much more comfortable that way cause you’re still a little stretched out. It’s not painful, just not so comfortable the day it is inserted.
anyway – this is probably weird to leave in the comments.
I really like the Mirena – it’s been good for me. Feel free to email me with any questions – camcvay at gmail dot com.
Finishing your degree “just because” is not pointless – I’m doing the same thing. It’s something I need to do for me no matter how long it takes, so plug away and we’ll be students together!

ha. I actually just went monday and registed for my classes. biology 101 and a computer class. yay for me! and yay for you too for going back ;-)
anyway, and as for your suggestions on birth control…you knew I would post ;-) I’m all for the plain jane pills. the IUD??? I’ve heard they work for some people, and then I’ve heard of people’s bodies rejecting it and having to get it removed. I, personally don’t like the idea of not having a period, and if you got lucky enough to have one, it wasn’t long enough to clean you out. To me, there is a reson God gave us periods. You can develop cysts on your overies which can lead to ovarian cancer. I’ve had this talk with my little sister cuz she got that birth control shot in her arm, and she hasn’t had a period in along time. Which in return, it can make you all bloated. MAN! I love being a woman.
anyway, there’s my speech for the day.
love ya
Julie’s last blog post..I should be a photographer, eh?
A college degree is never pointless. I would never trust non-hormonal birth control (and I personally love my daily dose), so I suggest you revel in the fact that you have four healthy, beautiful children (two boys, two girls no less), and get a tubal ligation. But then I just researched the tubal ligation and read that it can affect hormones, so maybe a diaphragm is a better choice. I guess there’s no perfect method. Pregnancy really screws us women over. Oh well…
