Today has been weird.
Last night, I had a dream that I got my period. Then, in the dream, it turned out that I had been dreaming the whole thing (you know, a dream within a dream?) Then, I dreamed it again and that time, in the dream, I thought maybe it was a dream again, but in that dream, it wasn't. When I actually woke up for real, I was so relieved that all of it had been a dream. Two hours later, I got my period for real. Freaky. I don't think I had any indication it was coming (like cramps in my sleep or anything) to have prompted the dream, so I wonder if it was a mind over matter thing and I made myself start?!? My lactation consulant said there is something called breakthrough bleeding that you can get while nursing, but it isn't really your period and you can go period-free for a while after that. When I went to buy tampons today I was so depressed.
And while at the store, some guy tried to pick me up, using my child as a prompt.
Him: What a gorgeous child you have!
Me: (all smiles of course. How many 20-something guys care about babies?) Thanks!
Him: She's just so sweet and pretty.
Me: Thank you so much! This is my first trip shopping with her alone, so we'd better go before she gets fussy.
Him: So who usually helps you with the baby? Does your mom usually go shopping with you? (aka "are you married?")
Me: (stupid and clueless as to what he's really asking) yes, usually, but not today. Nice meeting you. Thanks again!
Him: So what's her name?
Me: Olivia Beth
Him: That's the prettiest name I've heard! You have such great taste. What a great name. It's not very common, is it? I just love it! (and on and on and on)
Me: Nice meeting you. Gotta go.
And with that, I walked off. And when I saw him coming towards me later, we switched aisles fast.
You can tell how long it's been since someone tried to pick me up (I'm assuming that's what it was leading to). I should've said "yes, I'm married. Bye!" but I am so clueless! Maybe he was just being nice, but I didn't get that feeling. You can usually tell.

4 more days of no work related stress!

Crap about starting your period. That happened to me when Ava was only 8 wks old. I never had my period after I had my last child until she was 8 months old! So it was a huge shocker to me this time :(

Posted by: Ani at July 23, 2006 08:33 PMhehehe don't feel bad... I had a guy try to pick me up and I was with Jeremy... hadn't showered in a couple of days or slept in a couple of days and Lorelei was screaming... and I just looked at him and said are you nuts? Jeremy thought it was so funny... he said he was a cubby chaser lol... I think at times that men are just stranger than all get out lol...

Posted by: Amber at July 23, 2006 11:48 PMHe was either trying to pick you up or he was gay :). The checkout guy at the grocery across the street from my house goes on and on about Lila; he looks all of about 18, but he's definitely gay.
Posted by: Chas at July 24, 2006 11:24 AMHey, you kno what, I'm so clueless when it comes to flirting and pick up lines, that I wouldn't of picked up on it either! LOL. But you'd think after the 2nd time you said I gotta go, he'd get the point also that you were just to busy, and to leave you alone, creepy!!!

I've had my period for awhile. You are lucky you've gone so long, I'm jealous!!!
Posted by: girl from florida at July 24, 2006 04:37 PMA friend of mine had her baby in October 2004 and *still* hasn't gotten her period! She's nursing, LOL! :) I got mine at seven weeks postpartum, on the dot. Congrats [?] on this milestone! It just means that you'll be able to have another kiddo! hehe :) And that's exciting!
