Happenings of the week...

Last night I went to the ER. I am fine. They did a CT scan if my abdomen and nothing appeared out of sorts. I went to the ER because I was in my kitchen getting a drink of water for C and there was suddenly a sharp shooting pain the knocked the wind out of me and I fell to the floor. It was in the area of the appendix so we waited about an hour and it happened a couple of more times and so we took off. Again nothing was wrong just some stupid pain with no answer.

I am getting my IUD taken out tomorrow. I am slightly nervous because I do not want to be a mother again right now. Eventually sometime this year we will be trying for another baby but not right now. The reason I am getting the IUD removed is I have been reading up in it an I am not the only person that has gone crazy. Mothers have noticed an increase in mood swings, depression where medications no longer help, extreme tempers, and inability to loose weight. I am tired of weighing anywhere from 160-180 lbs depending on my water retention of the day. I was 180 at the time Miss A was born and 9 months later I still feel pregnant. So long story short in the next few months I am probably going to be expecting another child.

I have decided that I really want to do clothe diapers but no one in the world of child care will do the clothe diaper thing. Next baby I am definitely going to try the clothe diaper thing. The Husband and I have already agreed that I get to stay home after the baby is born and I will be able to not worry about what day care providers are annoyed with my choice to be a hippie. Maybe if I just get a couple and use them on Miss A when we are at home and use disposable when we are out and about. One of the big things is the amount of laundry that you have to do. Well I have 3 other kids to do laundry for, what is 1 more load going to matter?
