And so it begins

I love my kids. Anyone who knows me knows that. But let me tell you. The only one that was planned was #1. Apparently I am quite fertile. #2 and #3 were both accidents. More than accidents, they were birth control babies, meaning I was on birth control. Needless to say, at my six week check up after #3 was born, I had the doctor put an IUD in. Oh, my. It hurt! I did a lot of research before hand, and nothing that I found said it would feel like someone was tearing out my uterus, for the rest of the day. I had some serious cramps for the next day, too. If it will make me not get pregnant, though, it will have been SO worth it. My kids are pretty close together. It was not my idea to have them so close together, though. If it had been up to me, #1 would have been in preschool before I even thought of having another kid. Now that I have an IUD, hopefully I will be able to wait until #3 is in preschool to even think about having more – and yes, we will be having more. So be warned – if you are planning on getting an IUD, it hurts!
