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!

The Mirena IUD, talk to your doc now and you can sometimes have it put in at the postpartum check up. I highly recommend it! Pricey up front but the safest and most effective birth control AND IT LAST FOR FIVE YEARS. FIVE. Count them, five.

Houston, we have snippage.

And yea you for feeling good!

June babies are great...Caitlin was born June 6! :)

*Snip*

That's what I'd recommend! Congrats on the newest little one!

Abstinence. It's the only way to be sure.

Actually, I really like the Nuvaring. Like the pill, but only once a month to remember.

The joys of contraception! I just use the pill, but since we don't yet have any children I'm not going to the loony bin or anything if we get pregnant. But I agree with Rbelle--if you're serious about no more kiddies, go with the IUD. :)

You're only ten days behind me! WOOOT! I know it's a shocker but I'm glad I have company. (you totally got knocked up to be my company, didn't you?)

June 22 is a GREAT day to have a baby. It's my birthday. ;-)

I found the LE dolls at the Disney store. There is a WHOLE bunch of LE stuff on ebay - I think they released merch in Europe before they did here for some reason.
