All Things P

I'm drained. I'm not sure if it's the strep, our trip to the beach, or not getting enough sleep last night, but I'm tapped out. Hopefully, I'll get some energy back tonight or tomorrow so I can get a decent post out. Until then, I'll hold you over with a picture and some exciting news.

This is proof a Princess can and will get dirty. If they feel like it.



My exciting news? Well, it's exciting for me. After nearly 6 months, my period has arrived. I think. I hope. I saw red. I pulled out the box of tampons from the STORAGE CLOSET. A box from the stash of tampons I bought when A was just shy of 6 months old, 3 years ago. I hope it's around for longer than a day. involves more than one tampon and a cramp. For fuck sake, can't my body just be normal for once?

A is adorable! And so glad you're seeing RED!! That is a good sign. I know it can be frustrating...my cycles were never normal either! But now after years of infertility, I have my family and blog to help others. Come check it out! Happy ICLW!

I hear ya! Abnormal bodies are totally the pits! I only know medically induced periods myself, but hey... if she's actually showing on her own, then hats off to you!! Hope it doesn't take another 3 years. ;)

Wonderful pic :D Here's hoping AF stays for a visit with you! I know what those on again, off again (okay, mainly off) cycles are like.

Hi!
I hope you feel better soon. I had super irregular periods before having my LO so I know how exciting it is when AF arrives!!

Happy ICLW

Ha, I totally understand what it's like to wipe the dust off the tampon box! Sometimes I'll forget to put one in my purse during a period and then I'll have to ask every female in the office for one. Makes me feel like an idiot!

Also, I meant to tell you: you have a blog award waiting for you over at my place. And, after I read your post, I totally dreamt I got my period that night, and in my dream, I couldn't remember what I was supposed to do with pads or tampons. It was like a really bad SNL sketch.
