It came! It came!

So, after considering the prices of the accessories that would be absolutely necessary when buying a new camera, I realized that the expensive one would put me well over the limit goal of $500. So I ordered the smaller, less expensive one with more megapixels. And it came TODAY! Yay!

Here are a few (brand new) pictures of Bridoodle, for those of you going into withdrawal from not seeing her chubby little face. Her Daddy picked out this outfit, what do you think of it?





PS- "Smiling at the camera is like so yesterday, Mama."

Implanon

Over the past few weeks, our lives and time schedules have turned upside down as Officer Hubster has worked the night shift. He comes home as I'm waking up and when I leave for work, he goes to bed. This topsy turvy schedule has caused me to miss my birth control pill, not just once or twice, but an astonishing FIVE times this month!

When Bridoodle was born, our doctor told us about Implanon. It's a birth control stick that they insert in your arm and it's not an abortifacient, like Mirena. (Mirena is an IUD and it prevents a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.) Anyway, we thought it would be a good idea to get the stick implant, but wanted to wait until the Brimeister had finished nursing.

So, the time has come. The nurse called me Friday to talk about an appointment for next week. I'm just keping my fingers crossed (and my home testing kits handy), hoping that we're not already pregnant.

When we get ready to have another baby, the stick can be removed via a fifteen minute procedure and the hormones that it releases will dry up within two days.
