I really wish I didn't need to sleep, then I would have time to actually finish the laundry and get on my computer, and do all sorts of other things that get forgotten.
Today Keegan is 8 weeks old. Sometimes it feels like just yesterday that I had him and other days it feels like he's been here forever. Keegan is sleeping through the night most nights. Last night he slept from 11pm until 7am. I was shocked! The few other times he slept for 5 or 6 hours.
A week ago yesterday, I had my IUD put in. We went with the Mirena IUD.
First, let me say they are very expensive the IUD alone was $750.68. (Thank goodness our insurance paid it in full)
And second, OUCH!!!
Those are two things they DO NOT tell you on the commercials.
They do a cervical block by giving you a shot of Novocain in your cervix. Then they insert it. It hurts and you do bleed pretty good. However, I seem to be one of the lucky ones and I am starting to feel back to normal after a week. But the cramping for a the first few days is really bad and painful, lets just say I was using my left over meds from my C-section to control the pain.
Today I've only had a couple cramps and I assume that it will only get better and I will be very happy with it. No more babies for awhile and no more periods! Yay!
I've been really active with MOPS lately and I feel like I have purpose. I've made so many wonderful friends and I'm even presenting our craft on the 18th. My friend is in charge of our crafts but she will be out of town so she asked me if I could do it, I was more than happy. Tonight, I am running out to Michael's with her to pick up a few things for the craft we're doing.
Last weekend was our Mom 2 Mom sale. The night before I help set everything up and then they needed some extra help so I volunteered to come in real early in the morning and help. I ended up staying until 12:30pm. We had just under 1000 paying adults, at $1 admission it was great. We had over 100 tables, I had never seen such a huge mom 2 mom sale! And we do another one in the Fall.
Tomorrow I am going to the Bell Creek Community Church Woman's retreat. They are having dinner and a couple speakers. It should be fun.
I have been following that mother's blog that lost her 4 month old daughter. I read it and I cry but every night she has been in my prayers. I know this sounds crazy but it helps to remember how lucky I am. There are days I am ready to pull my hair out.. But reading her blog puts it all in perspective. I am so blessed, for my husband, my boys and my friends.

I have a friend that is doing the Project 365...taking pictures of something everyday. I really want to do it too, I suppose I should have started that at the new year but hey better late than never!
