I started the birth control pills again on monday evening, since the nurse told me to. My period had never really got going full-fledged, but it was tapering off so I was fine with that. Wednesday I had a tiny bit of spotting during the day. Today there is nothing. YAY. I feel like doing a little dance because I am not wearing a pad or panty liner or any other contraption of itchiness and stickiness. I am free! There is much rejoycing.

Time is passing quickly. I am constantly getting confused about how long it’s been between events, every time I turn around it’s a new month. I am really glad it’s moving like that right now. I am taking a 2-week vacation to visit my parents in late March, and then I will basically be working until a baby is born. And I want that time to go fast. Fast fast fast until that baby is on my chest, in my arms – and then I want it to stop for a very long time. I will be a stay-at-home-mom, and everyone knows it. After all this time, all these plans, all these trials… when that time finally comes there is no way I will be spending time at a job instead of home with my child.

So until then I fill my days and keep pushing forward to the next thing.
