Why it sucks being a girl (sometimes)

There are times that I hate being a female and one of those times is today.

I'm about to say some things that others, specifically guys, would consider to be "TMI", so read at your own risk...

I've been trying out different birth controls for the last two months, since giving birth to Amelia. During March, I was on YAZ, and that was the worst month ever. That birth control put me in emotional hell. I was very depressed, emotional, had no self confidense, and so much more! It was absolute hell. So, I called my doc and he gave me a new sample to try, Orthro-Tricyclene. So far so good. No emotional instability. Hooray for me. Now, here's where the "TMI" really kicks in; my cycle has started today and it's 4 days early which means that Greg and I can't have our 'playtime' this weekend in the hotel room that I reserved! Damnit all to hell! So, I've already called the hotel to cancel the reservations and called my Mom to let her know that I won't need her to babysit. And, to add to my already growing anger and frustration, this cycle is more painful than labor! My lower back is hurting oh so much. I took a Vicodine this morning cause I could hardly get out of bed without wincing in pain. The Vicodine only worked for about an hour. So, a co-worker gave me one of her 800mgs of Motrin pills. That was about an hour ago and I am still waiting for it to kick in. Anyway, I've called my docs office and told them what's going on and asked for a call back because, as usual, I have a lot of questions about what's going on.

And, to make this day better (note the sarcasim), Amelia was not a good baby last night. No, indeed she wasn't. She would not stay asleep. I was up at every hour either putting the nookie back in her mouth or comforting her due to the gas. Eventually, around 5am, I put her in bed with me. She continued to cry for a few minutes but did go to sleep. Then, she as wide awake by 6:30am. She woke me by kicking me on the stomache (before, she would keep me awake when she was kicking me while in utero). I believe I've gotten about 4 horus of sleep if I add up everything.

I sure as hell hope this day goes by fast and that Greg will be home on time.
