Nexplanon: Month 3

Men: Turn around. Run far away. Don't read this one, either.






Drained. Literally. That is all I can say about this past month. While month 2 was by far the worst, month 3 wasn't too hot either. I didn't cramp nearly as bad as I did last month, but I'm still bleeding and am so very, very tired. To be sure by now the hormones released in this devil's device and my body are well-acquainted so what could possibly be going on? I'm not sure how long I'll leave it in for, but it's making me a bit miserable. I just want to enjoy every bit of being married and I don't feel very good about myself because I'm not able to. I feel like I've taken something away from Tanner and that I'm not being fair to him. I'm thinking that if things have not changed by December, I'll have it taken out. I'm so sorry to be a crybaby over this. I was really excited to think that I had found a birth control option that worked for me. Hopefully, if you choose to have the Nexplanon implant you'll have better results than I.

Joaquin in a Wet Wonderland

Ahhhh October. A time for football, pumpkins, fall décor, scary movies and torrential downpours. Wait, what?

While everyone else is gearing up for a great month full of pumpkin patches and hayrides, here in Eastern NC we're buying bread and milk like it's going out of style. Joaquin is still about 800 miles off the coast but we don't take hurricanes lightly around here. My sweet husband has already put a ban on burning any of my candles recreationally, we have to save them in case we lose electricity. So I might not be able to blow dry my hair but at least our house will smell good.


We're the blue dot


But seriously, pray for all of us on the East Coast. Hurricanes have done a real number on us in the past and I hope if Joaquin does come our way, there will be minimal damage. Our little river town doesn't take too kindly to flooding.
