Well….so how do you like it? I’m torn. I can’t take hormone-based bc and I am way too inept to struggle with a diaphragm.

I think husband should just…snipsnip.

I totally need to do this. Decided it’s right for me. Checked with the health insurance company re: coverage. Had the pre-tests done. Haven’t made the damn appointment. DUH. I never know when I’m going to have the chance to go to the doc. Because I always have the KIDS. But, I don’t want any MORE kids, so I better get myself to the doc. Right. Yes. Indeedy.

Ditto, Kitch. I’m guessing that “small percentage” is bigger than we think as lots of women are saying the same thing.

And, guess what? I’m jealous of your brain. At least you got one third left. Clearly I am full of empty over here. Just hanging out with boys and their balls.

It is my theory that I lost 1/3 of my brain with each child; thus, it is good that I only have two.

I love, love, love my IUD. It rocks! And it doesn’t hurt that I’m in that small percentage of women who no longer get periods once that puppy is in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pepper. What a fantastically fantastic name. So glad you found our little corner of the blogosphere. The IUD is a blessing. I love my three boys even – though I often whine about the chaos – and I wouldn’t have it any other way. But….I am certainly not ready for another bambino. More importantly, I’m not ready for another pregnancy. Not yet. I’m happy we’ve found something that protects us from more chaos for the time being. Sounds like it’s working for you too! The question always is… will there be more? Do we have it in us? Or is this family complete?

Brave? Well, thank you. I’d like to think I am brave but realllllly? I don’t have much of a choice. And, I sure as shit had no idea what I was getting into when I got pregnant. Although, I suppose that wouldn’t have mattered much anyway because CLEARLY baby treis was not planned. CLEARLY. Poor kid. I know how he feels. I’m the last of three in my family too.

I have to say, I’m a little bit giddy to hear that you are “teetering on the idea of three.” It’s a different, more wonderful kind of life. Something that I can only try to explain. I wouldn’t trade it, and all it’s chaos, for anything. Another little creature around here to love? What more could I ask for?

Okay. Totally a trick question because I could ASK FOR A DAUGHTER. Sigh.

It’s funny this is how it kinda was with us also, only with two boys right now. Did everything to get pregnant with the first. Gave up decided it just wasn’t meant to be I will focus on loosing weight. I fell pregnant at that very moment I swear.

Go into the drs office for my post-baby checkup and they ask me what kinda birth control I wanted I begged to not be put on one since it took so long to get pregnant with the first 6yrs to be exact. I had to beg b/c I had a c-section and the office rule was no babies being born for one year.

I enjoyed the first year of my first sons life got to enjoy all his firsts. And then that summer I fell pregnant again. I was shocked. Um, yeah, I was like what have I done, maybe it didn’t help that my husband had just told me that no one thought we were going to have more kids because I could handle the first one. Thanks. (No one knew I was having terrible postpartum depression.)

So at this last post baby check up I to was like can’t you just do it right now! And I too got the IUD. I will say I’m finally getting past the spotting and annoyances of it. So just be patient.

Three kids? Ooohh, you are BRAVE.

I am teetering on the idea of three.

The moving/birthing/unpacking sounds AWFUL. And like something that would totally happen to me. :)
