Hey Ladies… October 1, 2009
Hi there,
I don’t get here much anymore. FB seems to be easier. But I do miss everyone! I wish we had a forum similar to the journals. It is a big part of my day that I miss terribly. Things are going horrible on the weight front. I got my Mirena implant four months and quickly started gaining weight. I thought it was a change in my milk supply and over eating. Then my hair started falling out. I was more concerned about my hair rather than weight, so I did some research. There are THOUSANDS of complaints about women losing their hair and gaining 15-20 pounds instantly on this implant. I am soooo mad! I was actually seizing the day and loosing weight, and once I got that thing put in.. BAM! I hit a brick wall. Then I got frustarted and went back to my old ways. So… I am back at pre-preggo weight. Feel HORRID because I am loosing my hair and gaining weight again. It is really hard to get motivated. DH is going to get snipped… but until then I have to leave it in. It will have to be surgically removed, which I hear is very uncomfortable. It is just soooo depressing that this cycle never seems to end. I am working out and getting lots of exercise, but it seems for not. I guess if I didn’t get exercise I would be bigger!
On a more upbeat front… kids are doing well. Austin is CRAWLING! Cam loves school, but likes to say he hates it. I guess it isn’t cool to like school when you are in 2nd grade. DH is working a lot, but he seems to like it. I am not workign at all… and I hate it! LOL… not made out to be a stay at home. I hate all the work involved with keeping the house neat and orderly.
Well ladies… those of you that are still out there… I hope all is well and htings are going great! HUGS!

Hi Tammy!!!!!!!!
I am guilty, not been here enough also. That is crappy to hear about the Mirena … I was considering that myself. Glad I decided against it. Definitely make DH get snipped!! hehehe
Glad to hear the kids are well!
yikes! losing hair? not good. that’s too bad.
i asked DH to get snipped a long time ago and he’s too bloody chicken! well, i told him i wasn’t taking anything b/c i didn’t want to ruin my health and that’s where we stand today.
saw the pics with austin and the “car seat”. LOL. that was funny.
The getting snipped is so easy. Watched DH have it done, no big deal! Really, not too much discomfort at all. He said he had more discomfort having a tooth pulled. He should just do it!
