Of course.

Things in the stomach area were pretty much settled down last night. Aaron took the evening feeding so I could sleep all night. When he left for work - I was feeling good. But then I started getting crampy again, and I was like - NO! Well, it wasn't sickness cramps - it was another kind of cramp.

CD 1.

It's almost been a year! And I continue to feel like ass - but at least that explains why I needed the cookies so badly, and even continued eating them when I noticed they tasted a bit off.

It does feel good to be back in the land of the living... but we are having a bit of a family drama. My brother - who has not had the greatest last couple of years (foreclosure on his house, fired, bankruptcy) just got fired from his latest job. And was admitted to the hospital for 3 days because they were worried he was going to hurt himself. I talked to him today - he seems OK. We worry about him, obviously. But this is becoming a trend. And we certainly can't (won't, really) help him financially - he is really horrible about money and budgeting. Giving him money will just enable that. Hopefully this is the kick in the ass he needs to get things in order. Being fired from 2 jobs in 3 years must be some sort of a wake up call, right?

I'm glad you're feeling better, even though "Mother Nature" is paying you a painful visit. I have a family member a bit like your brother, and as much as it sucks, you're doing the right thing! My sister eventually got her stuff semi together and isn't living off my father anymore. I hope his wake up call comes soon, for himself and his family. Great pic of Hulk the other day. He's looking like a little man! Have a GREAT weekend!

How lucky you are to get AF after so long. My cycles come back within 2 months of giving birth. And I exclusively breatfeed! Lame.

Wishing well for your brother.
