Back To The Drawing Board

It's been a while since I've posted...only three posts and I'm already getting lazy. Not a good start.

I have my "two weeks after the miscarriage, let's make sure everything's okay" doctor's appointment this afternoon. They will draw blood first to see if all the pregnancy hormones are out of my system. Last week I was still at 16.7. Besides being stuck w/ a needle today, I so don't want to have to have another v ultrasound. It's so much easier to do when you're pregnant, but invasive when you're not. Amazing how we get used to showing the world our most intimate body parts. Hopefully everything looks good and I'll get the thumbs up to start trying again. I know they recommend waiting until having one regular cycle, but I'm not going to do anything to prevent getting pregnant right now. If it happens, it happens. I don't expect it to happen, but I would be thrilled if it did. My hubby thinks it will happen in three months. He had the timing right last time so I'm thinking I might want to listen to him.

The summer is rapidly coming to an end. I see school buses now in the morning. Joseph can't get enough of school buses and keeps asking to ride one. Geez, slow down little guy. I don't even want to start thinking about sending him away to school. Last night Joseph was naming different body parts and then pointing to them - like his chin, elbows and knees. I found it funny because we talk about the "basic" body parts, but who ever asks their kid to point to their chin? Maybe I'm out of the loop. He was also running around asking for a helmet since another little boy at daycare has one because he is always running into walls. How do I explain to my son that he really shouldn't want to wear a helmet...only accident prone, crazy kids need helmets. Probably not the best thing to say.

Time to pack it up and get poked and prodded again.
