I think I'm getting my P~E~R~I~O~D!!!!! That familiar bloatiness, the twinges of cramps, I can't believe this! I had a full 12 months off last time, but Avi's only what, 11 weeks old?
It's probably because he sleeps for 6 hour stretches at night (YAY ) but I don't even have any stuff! I was gonna get some custom Mama pads made, get a Mooncup. I don't have anything in the house.
Anyone (in my cohort) else have theirs yet? When did everyone else get theirs??

Mine had better not make an early appearance--26 months with DS#1 and around 18 mos. with DS#2 and DD #1.
Nothing yet. There were a number of times when I was SURE I was about to get my period with DD MONTHS before it actually returned. So, maybe you'll get lucky and it won't acutally happen???

Yeah, still no actual flow from Aunt Flo - maybe I'm ovulating? There's something going on in my uterus! It's not another pregancy (we have the letter from the urologist - dh is STERILE) so what is it?
Either way, I've done a swap of some diaper inserts for some mama pads, and I have a mooncup coming, so when/if she shows, I'll be ready!
I know - it's so weird that he sleeps that long at night - last night he went 5.5hrs, then 6hrs! So I'm pretty sure my fertility will return sooner than with my others, who were both still waking twice in the night until they were over 2! He does marathon nurse during the day to make up for it, and he's having some good amounts of wakey time too. It's just weird to have the kind of sleeping baby that other people are jealous of - I've always been the jealous one! LOL
So I guess my body is making a liar out of me - still no period! Good news is (apart from the fact that there's no af) is that I have my mooncup now, and my cloth pads are here! So now I'm actually looking FORWARD to it coming so I can try out my stash!
I had a dream last night that dh brought home a pregnancy test that was positive - somehow he knew that I was pregnant before I did. I guess he smuggled my urine? Anyway, the details are fuzzy, but I guess that's what I think about as I sleep. LOL
LOL! I can't believe what a crunch you've turned into! Is this my sister?
Congrats on NOT getting your period yet. LOL. My condolences Val.

Yikes, there is TONS to do before then. Gulp.
Oh Kerri - I've got (lemme count) something like 11 cloth pads and 2 cloth liners! Plus my mooncup! I have lots of cloth/hemp breastpads too
See what The Nappy Network is doing for me? And I only use cloth wipes and Avram hasn't had a disposable on for 2 months, other than probably 3 because he needed diaper cream slathered on. I don't think I do anything disposable any more! Yay for me, finally a clothie!

Oh yeah... on the last day of a full blood period... and no I had NOTHING prepared. Ended up picking up tampons at Trader Joes while buying pasta for Don's week at the academy. lol... But I am doing ok emotionally from it. I was pissy for about two days (ie: my previous post) and then I was fine. I had no major cramps, no crying issues. I did have a teary conversation about getting on bc for the next two years and then choosing for dh to get a vas after he is done with his probationary time. That was sad. I may want another... I can't even believe I am saying this outloud... and let me tell you... if I could have a girl... like just garentee I was having a girl, I would do it in a heartbeat. And soon too... boy pregnancies are just too hard on me. But I may want to throw the dice back in there... isn't that a freaky thing? Don says probably not, but doesn't say never. And that is JUST as odd as me saying I think I would be willing to go through it again. lol! Most likely, once Logan is 2, we will get a vas and a couple puppies and a house. LOL! That way I will get my "baby" fix and not need to have a 4th one of my own.
Totally in babble mode... sorry. Yep. Af was here, and she is thankfully taking her leave, but the stay wasn't too terrible. (no wonder I don't have ppd issues. Talk about a quick recovery... My hormones are ready to get pg again. lol! 8 wks... 4 wks with the first, 6 with the second (then stopped by bc for 3 years) and 8 with my third. Perhaps I will get 6 months when I have my 8 kid huh?)
Val, you are a riot! It's true that once those babes are in arms, the suffering to get them here isn't important anymore. I've read so many of your posts over the last year and you were ADAMANT this was your last baby. I think you are making the right decision whatever you do, but it's miraculous to me what love can do to change our hearts, you know?
Arrrrgh! AF ALREADY?
