Cycle Day Ouch!!

It is yet again CD1. Wow, getting a regular period is so stinking cool. (Weird, I know.)

I had a 31 day cycle. Very cool. Not at all as long as I thought it was going to be considering I o-ed on cd21. (Weird again, I know.) But I'll take it!

Now on the the dilemma, because of course there has to be one. I AM IN PAIN! Horrible period pains today. I'm starting to remember why I went on the pill in the first place. It's full force cramps, low back pain and fatigue. By the time hubs got home from work today I crashed. I couldn't even give B his bath which is one of my favorite times during the day.

Thank goodness for ibuprofen. 800mg each dose got me through.

I hate that I'm even being tempted to go back on the pill yet again. I don't think I will. If it's only one day a month of PMS I can handle it. But if it is like this for 3 or 4 days a month. Uhg...I don't know.

At least right now I have an excuse for all these Rolo's I just took to the face.

Pool Review

(Sorry these pictures are fuzzy because they are with my phone)

THIS POOL ROCKS! It actually wasn't that hard to blow up and we didn't even use a pump. All lungs baby. I took the advice of one of my brilliant readers, as you all are, and put a foam play mat under it and it is perfect.

I love it because it is just small enough that it doesn't take gallons and gallons of water to fill it up (plus I only fill it up past his thigh) but it is big enough that he can scootch around and play.

It's so light weight that it is easy to carry in and out of the house for use.

We love it!



Oh, and it tastes good too!

And p.s. So what if I'm too cheap to use a swim diaper when I'm at home....

The day you became a Dad

The day you became a Dad, I became the luckiest Son there could ever be. I've only been in this world 7 short months but I already know how awesome you are. I already know I love you more and more each day. I already know I want to grow up to be just like you. You are my Daddy, and I am your boy.

Even though I'm crying, I'm actually thrilled. I'm so lucky you love me so much.
I love when you keep me warm.

You are so comfy, sometimes I wish you could hold me forever.

Are you proud of me? I'm proud of you!

I love admiring your face.

This is my favorite way to nap.

Thanks for always letting me snuggle.

Here I am listening to your heart.

I love holding your hand.

My favorite place again.

Snuggled so tight, I feel so safe.

I wanna be just like you!

I am dreaming of us playing together. Sweet dreams

I love looking up to my Daddy

Eskimo kisses

Are you Santa?

Feeling so safe.

You're my best friend Dad.

I love you so much.

I love hanging out with you Dad.

I will also remember my first boo boo that left blood on your shirt.

Even though I needed a band-aid, I still love you Dad.

Dad, thanks for taking me to cool places to hang with my family

Dad, I love doing new things with you.

Dad, I love you so much I want you to have my paci.

Our Newest Purchase

(Woman and baby not included)

B loves the water so much we thought we'd put some on our deck. I was going to just buy one of those cheap plastic ones, but I decided to go with one that has sun coverage as our deck is in full sun for most of the day.

Reviews to come.
(Of course is has been raining since we bought it. Hopefully we'll get him in it this week!)

Oh Em Gee!

I AM OVULATING!!

CD21 = Positive OPK

What?! Really?!

CD 21? Wow. Better late than never right?! RIGHT?!

I'm a little exciting that my body is actually doing what it's supposed to be doing. Ok, a LOT excited.

My plan is to test again next month and see if my cycle starts to shorten at all. Maybe if I were to go back on Metformin it would help regulate and shorten my cycles? Hmm, maybe a question for the Ob?

Nah, not for now. I'm in no hurry to be running back to a doctor's office anytime soon. I am just going to bask in the glory sticky cm, high bbt, and a positive opk. Life is good, long cycle and all.

Now I just get to look forward to my next period. Yippy! Holy hell, am I really excited for my next period? Yup. I think I've gone full circle here.

Looking back I'm more happy today then ever that I changed my blog name to PCOS Success. Not only was I successful in achieving pregnancy, I'm actually one of those woman (we curse) who have been successful in going on to have "regular" cycles again. (Whatever the hell regular means. It might mean 38 days but who cares?) Truly feeling like a PCOS success today.

People...it actually can happen!

Because I haven't posted one of these in a while...

Here is a picture.

He is my heart, my love, my world, my boy!

Annoyed

• It is CD 16 (or is it17?) and there is no sign of a surge. Not even a hint of a sign. I am bummed. Annoyed. I really really REALLY don't want to have to go back on the pill. But oh well, there could be much worse things, I know.

• I just got done reading a FB thread of my friends announcement of finding out the sex of their second baby. Another boy. In the thread of mostly congratulatory comments, there was actually, in black and white, the admittance that she was "quite bummed" that it "was" not a girl. With my jaw dropped I was actually able to still vomit in my mouth. Plus what is the deal with her saying it "was" not a girl. No, it "is" not a girl. In fact, it "is" a boy. Why are you talking about this sweet little baby like it is in the past tense? Then there was a responsive comment from another person admitting they felt the same way when their first was a boy, but then had hoped for a boy for the second one and got a girl, and seemed bummed about that. More vomit in my mouth. On top of everything else, the only positive thing that seemed to be said was about the "financial upside" of being able to hand-me-down clothes. What? The positives should be this baby is healthy! He has all 10 fingers and toes! He is thriving!! But no...nothing like that. Vomit, vomit, VOMIT!

• I am annoyed when people don't realize the MIRACLE of conception, and the MIRACLE of a healthy baby, and the MIRACLE of having children via birthing them or adoption.

• 2 months now and I still actually feel like I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to feeding my little man solids. That annoys me. He seems to eat and love what I give him, but there is no rhyme or reason to it.

• Apparently I am feeling so annoyed that all I had in me was a bullet style post.
