8 weeks 5 days
That's what I finally found out at the doctor when I went yesterday. With a due date of June 22, that will put my two youngest little boogers at exactly 16 months apart! At the risk of jinxing myself, I really feel good. Of course I have major smell aversions, and sometimes I have to be super picky about what I get to eat (not too slimy, not to smelly, etc.), oh, and heaven forbid my stomach get empty and gurgle with hunger...but compared to my first 2 pregnancies, this has been a breeze!
I am having a problem overcoming the fact that I am going to have to have a glucose screen test at my December appointment because I am THIRTY. Apparently 30 is a benchmark for something or another, and they require you to have an initial glocose test, as well as the other one at however many weeks. It totally sucks, and I tried to weasel out of it, but the doctor wouldn't let me. Just call me a whiny baby, but I hate that Glucola crap. I think I remember reading at Zoot's last year about how she was able to eat a full size candy bar and a regular coke on her way to be screened, instead of the sugary nasty drink (lookie...found the link). That's the kind of test I need! Did anyone else have that luck? Speaking of eating candy and drinking sugary drinks...It has been a snap to fall off of my Weight Watchers wagon. At first I kept on going to meetings. Then, I realized that I was crazy to continue to pay weekly to undoubtly gain weight (Hello! Pregnant! Baby-on-board!) - especially during the holidays! Soooo...I am a WW dropout - until July at least. I'll probably go back to following the pregnant and nursing mothers program after Christmas, but I just don't care about weight control very much at the present time.
So, all that prego talk aside, I have a question! What kind of birth control do you recommend so I can make sure we only have a 3 child family? Thanks!
