The Scare - Is it a baby? Is it menopause?

So ok - I suck. You guys have to tell me how you got your men to acquiesce to the ball snip - aka - vasectomy. Mine won’t do it - and I’m not about to ruin my tummy tuck with an open abdominal surgery (they can’t go in with a laparascope thru your belly button if you’ve had one - heads up).

Onward - I had a Mirena, for 5 years - then when my daughter was a shade under 5, they showed it to me in an ultrasound. I didn’t like seeing it in there - why did I have to walk around with a mini grappling hook in my uterus? Besides, Mirena releases low-dose hormone directly into your uterine lining. Since I wasn’t going to quit smoking, and I really didn’t want to have a stroke, I directed the OB to pull it.

Are the Biggies Ready for Baby?

One week today and my baby is going to be here. Is it just me or has this been the fastest pregnancy known to mama-kind? Usually it is only other women’s pregnancies that go quickly. I have now officially run out of time and it looks as though, among other things, I never will get around to having those pregnancy blood tests done.

 

 

I will, however, prep the Biggies on the arrival of their new sibling. I have never actually witnessed sibling jealousy in my household, particularly with regards to a new baby. Never has a nose been out of joint over a new arrival. Perhaps my kids don’t know how it feels to have an empire come crashing down since they’ve never really experienced having an empire.
