Stuff

I should really go to bed...but first, a few notes.

1) About IUDs... I asked my RE about them, and he said he would prefer I didn't get one. Why? Well, they are supposed to not have any side effects, but every once in a while it causes scar tissue in the uterus and there's no way I want to make it harder for myself to have kids later on. (Case in point is our wonderful blogger friend Nancy...I don't know if her scar tissue was related to her having an IUD, but she had one and then had multiple surgeries to get rid of scar tissue.) I just don't want to take that kind of a chance when I have other options.

2) Dovid rolled over the other day! He went back to front, which I hear is harder, and he may have had a little help from his Grandma. All I know is she called me in saying he rolled over and that he was now on his front. I'll believe it when I see it. :-)

3) The twins are both smiling so much more now! They even sort-of laugh at times. It is ridiculously cute!!

6 Week Checkup

According to my OB, I'm in perfect health. My incision is gorgeous and my cervix is perfect. :-) But, she doesn't want me getting pregnant for the next year, for obvious reasons--emergency C-Section, twin pregnancy, etc. The only issue is birth control. My husband thinks I've gone totally insane. He's basically thinking "we couldn't get pregnant on our own for two years...what makes you think it'll just happen this year?" I agree with him in theory, but my doctor (and I) think it's prudent not to tempt fate. We do need to get clearance from our rabbi, however, before doing anything. Basically, my doctor wants to put in a copper IUD, because it shouldn't affect my hormones at all. Any thoughts?
