Day 21
Today was the day …
No more pills for me!!!
Now, for the first time since Grade 12, Darling Husband and I do not have the nice security of Madame Tri-Cyclen, and it’s back to Monsieur Trojan.
And, of course, there is the possibility that I will lose weight, be less bitchy, and all of the other supposed things that happen when you go off the pill.
I will definitely miss that all-encompassing feeling of safety for the next four-odd months — until Best Friend is good and married, and we can relax and let nature take its course.
But there is something very exciting about being one step closer!!!
P.S. Oh, and for those not familar with Tri-Cyclen 28s, that last row of pills is just a placebo you take when you have your you-know-what, to keep you in the pill-poppin’ habit.
P.P.S. You’re right, it would have made for a more dramatic pic without that last row. Damn.
Changin’ on the fly
Yay! Another craft project is on the horizon!
Over at Small Fry & C0., a very crafty mama made a beautiful changing pad that folds up for easy toting — and can even fit a few diapers and a small wipes container inside. She even made a whole matching set — diaper bag, sling, the works — for her friend …
I am totally impressed! I’ll get there soon … maybe when the neverending quilt is done.
The cupcake nursery
Inspired by last night’s cupcake-baking, I have officially come up with the perfect theme for a little girl’s nursery … yeah, CUPCAKES!
Think about it — they’re sweet and delicate, they are often pink (my fave colour), and they are just so girly!
I am having major visions of pink walls, white trim and furniture, and stripey curtains. Plus lots of cupcake-themed artwork and floor pillows.
So pretty!
Pre-preggo morning sickness
I felt awwwwwful this morning. Totally and completely nauseated. There was too much saliva in my mouth — a sure sign of impending pukage.
I ate a piece of bread with peanut butter in the car, and sucked back some OJ. I felt better, but still a little iffy.
I’m pretty sure it happened because I didn’t eat any snacks last night — was busy racing around doing laundry, dishes, etc. I have always been hypoglycemic, so eating regular snacks is a must … and now I’m paying the price!
I think low blood sugar is a lot like morning sickness. That’s why they tell pregnant peeps to eat a snack right before going to bed — so they’re not starving/feeling sick in the a.m. I’m definitely not going to skip my bedtime snack again, if this is how it will make me feel!
I swear, if I had not taken my third-to-last birth control pill today, I would be running for a pregnancy test!!!
Design magnetism!
So this is a gift-wrapping idea I found over at ApartmentTherapy.com, but I love the way the plastic fridge magnet letters look. So colourful and fun.
What if a section of the nursery — even just a trimmed-off section of wall — was painted with magnetic paint, and these letters were used to spell out a kids’ poem or part of a story?
Ideas churning!
