It's Baaaaaack

Can I first note that this blog maybe isn't for the immature or easily ickified?

So last week I noticed a few spots on my chin. 'Hmm,' I thought, 'must be getting ready to start my cycles again.'

A couple days later I was REALLY horny. 'Woo hoo,' I thought.

A few days later my belly got all icky feeling. 'I hope I'm not going to be sick,' I thought.

THEN, my pants were tight! 'WTF,' I thought! 'I've been really good this week,why are my pants not fitting me!!!'

Of course, then I got my period. No one tells you that when you get pregnant, you forget all the symptoms of a pending period. So now I'm mourning my days without having to buy tampons and sanitary pads. But I'm also celebrating a bit because it means I'm still ovulating and still fertile. But man, 15 months without a period was niiiiiiiiiiiice!

So now it's back... and with a vengeance. I feel like I'm in 7th grade all over again! I was expecting my period to be like it used to be... not too heavy, over in a couple days. Well, this baby has been like a flood. I'm having to go and buy the super mega pads so I don't make a mess anywhere! I haven't had to buy those in years! I was always so proud of my calm, easily managed periods. Now I'm not sure what to expect. It's been 2 1/2 days and it's still not showing any signs of abating (it would have by now if it was pre-baby days). I'm just hoping that it's over and done with before my flights on Wednesday. Ugh, I can't imagine having to change my tampon in an airplane. No thank you!

But, all in all, I guess I can't really complain. As a larger woman, I was worried about being able to conceive in the first place. So now that my monthly visitor has decided to return, it's put my mind at ease that Jacob's sibling WILL be arriving sometime in the future.
