Some people think being a stay-at-home mom means I sit around and eat bon-bons all day. This is not true. Sometimes I eat cookies instead.

Awkward moment of the year...

I'm at my OB-GYN's office this morning for my annual exam/pap. The doctor and I chat for a few, then she gets down to business.

Legs are spread, speculum is inserted, and she says.... "Hello, cervix that wouldn't open!" (Pretty sure it's not going to answer you, lady!)

Um, she wasn't even the doctor that examined/delivered me last year. They gave me Cervadil last year and then decided half an hour after that that my platelets and liver were not doing well and that there wasn't enough time to start an induction and I had a c-section. Did they all get together and discuss my closed cervix last year?

It's either that or there was a note tucked up in my lady bits alluding to this fact.

At least there wasn't an echo.

I Had to POAS...

And THANK GOD it was negative. Seriously. I was about to crap a brick. The rational part of my brain knew that the likelihood that I was preggers again was slim to none (I'm still exclusively breastfeeding, and we're using birth control) but after having 2 straight periods and then being late for one... I was fairly concerned.

I made R take me to Target and then peed in her bathroom. I thought about leaving it on the counter to give her husband J a heart attack, and then decided that wouldn't be nice. Instead I left it sitting nice & pretty in my bathroom trash at home to give MY DH a heart attack :) Sadly, he is remarkably unobservant and did not notice.

I will want another child at some point, but I need some time to pass from the awful newborn/infant phase so I forget how horrible it was before I'm willing to start trying. I also want to be free from pregnancy/breastfeeding (or at least mostly) for my 30th birthday.

But speaking of Target, this trip was my first trip there in maybe a month. I can't believe I held out that long! And of course, I managed to spend $100. Considering I only went there for a pregnancy test and some Father's Day cards, I have no idea how I ended up spending that much. Of course, I picked up Ryan's Father's Day gift. I felt a little weird... I'm going to give it to him like "Here you go, honey, do you like what I bought you with your money?" I'm still getting used to this whole SAHM, not earning my own $$ thing.
