How To Tell When Your Doctor Thinks Your Body Really is Fucked Up

Today was the 6 week follow up.  Hubs was supposed to go with me, but he has been down and out with what we presume is strep throat all weekend.  This is the man whose phone starts ringing at 7 a.m. and doesn't stop sometimes until 2 a.m.  He doesn't DO sick.  So for him to spend 3 days in bed, shivering and moaning means he is REALLY sick.  Which means I have kept him as far away from Logan and me as possible.  I've also started myself and Bugs on a zi.cam regimen in hopes that we can avoid it ourselves.

Anyway, Dr. Awesome came in the room, apologizing and feeling bad that she missed our birth.  She wanted to hear the whole story and was glad we were happy with Dr. Substitute Awesome.  Then she poked and prodded me and said everything looks great. I'm clear to exercise (please oh please let me get some motivation to exercise) and also OK to do IT.  You know, IT.  For weeks before Loganberry was born, I was having contractions and kinda scared to do IT, so Hubs wasn't getting too much action.  And even when he was, it was all about him because the big O for me just caused worse contractions.  My point is, we haven't done IT in a god damn fucking long ass time.  Usually Hubs is ready to go, like whenever.  I'm more like a when the mood strikes kinda girl.  Well for whatever reason since L was born, I am in the mood ALL THE TIME.  It's kinda awesome, except for the part about me not supposed to be having sex for 6 weeks thing.  Oh and did I mention now that I have the all clear, Hubs has strep throat?  Mother fuck.  Or not apparently.

Before the birth, Dr. Awesome asked me if we had thought about what we would do for birth control afterwards.  I kinda laughed and told her I pretty much wasn't worried at all about getting pregnant "accidentally."  I also will never put my body through hormonal birth control again for obvious reasons.  Now that I have a baby, however, I keep thinking that maybe the Universe will continue it's comedy routine and I'll get pregnant immediately.  I love love love being a mommy more than anything, but I seriously doubt my abilities to parent 2 infants at the same time.  So... I started investigating IUDs.  I decided to ask her about that one that's on TV all the time.  There is no estrogen and they say you can get pregnant immediately after it is removed.  Dr. Awesome pretty much told me she didn't think I needed it. 

Insert laughing here...

So that is how to tell when your doctor thinks your body really is fucked up.  So fucked up that you don't even really need birth control because your body naturally provides it for you.  I should clarify that she didn't say we don't need any birth control... we should use condoms.  She was just worried that if we decide to have another baby that it might take awhile for my cycle to normalize if I were to have an IUD.  And I agree. 
I'm not sure if we will try for another one or not, but I definitely don't want to further compromise any chances we may have.


I have loads to tell you about still, but Hubs and L are sleeping and me thinks I should be too.  But my brain is exploding with stories to write and it is my goal to get them out here this week.  Stay tuned!
