Off the pill for 3 days involuntarily..
So Jared finally got everything straightened out with the insurance so I could go and get my refil of BC this weekend. So I call up Walmart so that I could ask them what all I need to do as far as getting my refils all put on the insurance we now have and they say that I have to come in to do it on Monday. No big deal, eventhough I start a new pack on Sunday I can just double up pills on Monday and be careful.
Yesterday morning I get in there at 10:30 a.m. and go up and bring my prescription pack and everything and give them the refil info and the insurance info and the woman says, "well.. your refills are all out on this perscription, we'll have to call your Dr's office or fax them about a refil request. Is this medicine for an ongoing condition?" "Yes.""Oh, well how long have you been on it?""Around a year on this particular pill""Well.. your refill is unlimited until 8/30/07. Is there a reason it's discontinued after that?""Look Lady, IT'S FOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS. Thus the little case that is now in your hand! It was for a year because I'm due for a check up soon and it's for the minipill because it's the only safe one when you BREASTFEED FOR A YEAR! They will okay it, I'm sure!"
So I call today to see if they have filled it and nobody answers at the pharmacy. I get fed up, get in the car, drive to Walmart with Kyan in tow at 6:30 p.m. and the lady says, "Oh.. well we're still waiting for a Dr's okay on your medicine. What was it for?" "BIRTH CONTROL, WE'VE BEEN OVER THIS!"
After a lengthy conversation about how it'd been well over 24 hours and didn't they check if a Dr didn't return a refil request by the next morning, and what am I supposed to do since I've been off the pill for 3 days now, the lady said that I should call them and then call Walmart and they will call the Dr's office and then I have to call them back before I come pick it up. Does that sound ridiculous to anybody else?
What I think the hold up is with the Dr is that I had my medical records switched about a month and a half ago since I'm going to see a Dr that has left the OB/GYN practice and is at a different office and my appointment with her has been pushed back a few weeks from Sept. 21st to October 10th, so I'm kind of in limbo as to who my Dr is.
Thoughts:
1. Should I just stay off the pill and go get some condoms? It's not like we have sex all that often like we used to, but back in the day when we were having it 3 to 4 times an evening the condoms were doing a good job of keeping the swimmies to the eggies.
2. If I happen to get them tomorrow should I just skip the first 3 days of pills and go to the one for that day or what? (It's the pill Nora-Be)
3. I really want to switch pills anyways because I think that the minipill is responsible for my mood swings and my weight gain and fluxuation since I never had a problem with it before.
4. Anything else I need to think about? It's not like my period is regular right now anyways, and I did spot yesterday a tad bit but nothing today so my cycle is really going to be out of whack.
Ladies? Anything?
Jared seriously asked me tonight if I wanted to get pregnant since I was already off the pill. Then when I told him not at this second but yes I would like to get pregnant next year at this time he said No sex until I go back to the Dr and get my pills straightened out. I think I called him a pompus ass and said something about he'd better go get his own damn condoms then and not complain because he has to wear them again. (Yep. Told you that I had mood swings.)

Wanna make a belly?


I hate watching a movie and seeing a pregnant woman's belly being treated like a crystal ball and thinking , "Gosh. I want to rub my belly like that again." It's such a double edged sword! When you're dating all you can think about is "Would I be ready?!" and when you're in your early 20's and thinking about finding more of a Mr. Right than a Mr. Right Now to settle down and have that first serious relationship with you think , "Would he be a good father?" Fortunately it didn't take me long to week the Woulds from the Would Nots. When I was ready to make the leap from dater to doer I got lucky and found him on the first try. What really drew me to my husband was the first time we went anywhere aside from just casually yaking each others ears off at a house party, I was driving us and a couple of friends to eat. On our way back we were talking about our past relationships, and what not and as I was driving and he in the back seat the question of kids was brought up. I knew he was my guy when he said, "I could have kids right now. I'm that ready!" and true to his word, some few months later he ran into the room and almost did summersaults when he found out the test was positive. I guess the guy that I thought was sexy in a white t-shirt was even sexier holding my belly and feeling him kick and learning all he could at every Dr's visit.
I guess if it wasn't for the whole delievery part, I'd probably be pregnant right now! Although this time, more wiser, more in control, more knowing when to tell the Dr to shut up and leave my epidural alone. Talking to a girl in my MOMS Club I realized who has an 18 month and isn't on any type of BC, I realize that maybe it would be okay to tempt fate a little bit, possibly see what happens if we really weren't planning but we really did get pregnant (and then I realize.. HEY! We really weren't trying the first time!) and is it anything you really can plan the right exact moment for. I mean seriously, I'm a big fan that you're never financially or emotionally ready for ANY baby. But could we really make the jump from a family of 3 to a family of 4? Would that be possible? Who knows.

My husband ran away with a car...

I'm starting to feel like it's more and more possible that my husband will run away with a car. I've always said that it doesn't bother me at all that my husband is a car fanatic, especially when it comes to Mustangs. He can tell me the make and model and exact color and how many years that color was made and blah blah blah and the magazines and books devoted to those fabulous ponies are littered throughout my bathroom and living room year round. I guess he could have worse hobbies like drinking and partying, or gaming and being a sports fanatic or even a Star Trek junkie. Those I'm not sure I could tolerate.

I've told several friends and family members that I completely trust my husband 100% and that was one of the reasons I fell in love with him because I didn't have any doubts in my mind (and still have never had one) that he wasn't completely loyal and totally all mine. The fact is that my husband doesn't look at other women, he looks at other cars. We can be driving down the interstate and he will whip his head around and do a slow open mouthed drooling stare if we see a Mustang and gets the heebie geebies when I mention there is a Classic Car show somewhere, but if there were girls taking their tops off he is completely clueless.

Case in point. He went to see The Bad Boys of Rock Tour this past Labor Day weekend (feat. bands Revelation Theory, Buck Cherry, Papa Roach, and Hinder) which I knew going in was going to be a really wild evening. I'm not really into that kind of devil horned handed, loud volumed f this and f that type of scene, but I knew he really was a fan and I thought it'd be a nice thing to do as a couple for the evening. We're watching the bands play as the evening progresses and the crowd is really warmed up to the point of multiple crowd surfs and mosh pits and the like. Apparently it came to the point in the evening where girls decide to flash the band and those who are so inclined to be looking at them as they sit on the shoulders of their significant other. Now these weren't a six second lift up and put down type of flash! I visibly saw one girl reach in and pull out and then shake and shimmy and then laugh and put back. Disgusting as it was, I always feel like that's #1 so embarassing, and #2 so unclassy. Then I come back to the inevitable shameless thought that "Hey.. mine are so much nicer" and "Gosh that would really hurt to have piercings and get them caught on your bra or sweater." Yes, I know I need to quit overthinking.

Now my Hubby, the guy that he is, standing there fixated on the music and the band and all totally misses the boobfest that went on for the 4 out of 7 hours we stood there. He still thinks that we (my sister and a friend also went, as well as a few of his Soccer players and one parent chaperone) are pulling his leg. Apparently I like to make bogus boob jokes and references. So in all his denial that this actually went on, and the "Who would let their girlfriend do that while she was sitting on his shoulder?! Come on!" we laughed and tried to convince him, and maybe it's good that he didn't see it. Who honestly wants their guy looking at some other girls goodies, even on accident? Seriously? I don't care if you swear up and down that it doesn't bother you, there's still some degree that you're thinking about it and wondering how you compare or what his thoughts were. It's human nature!

I'm just happy that my Husband, eventhough he thinks I'm lying to him, didn't see the flashers. I can live with the fact that he could tell me the colors and year of every car in the parking lot, as long as he can't tell me the boob pop to pierced nipples ratio.
