I'm doing both challenges too, it'll be great to have other ladies that I look up to doing the "men's" challenge as well. Will you be posting the pics from the women's challenge in the men's challenge update thread? I was thinking of just doing a copy/paste...

From what I've seen, Kara, pics aren't necessary for the other challenge, unless part of your specific goal.

Bleh.

I just started in on Girth Control tonight while waiting for the spawn to nod off. Holy crap! I'm only on chapter 3 but I love love love this book! Seriously, folks, I was giggling partway through chapter 1. Giggling, no shit. And I'm still giggling so I had to take a break to come tell you guys how much I love this book! We'll see if it continues to goose me in my goosey places but, having done some preview-skimming-ahead, I'd guess that it will. My only annoyances so far are a few typos and the fact that it's printed on thin, crappy paper. As long as the meat's good, though, I can deal with it.

Hmm. I dunno. I probably will just update both the same, copy/paste like you mention, just cuz I'm lazy -- and that would mean with pics. But, being female, we're allowed to change our minds depending on which way the wind is blowing, right?

Yeah, so you know it bites. I've been this way through every one of my pregnancies, usually until just a couple of weeks before popping. But, fortunately, I've never been so bad that I required hospitalization or anything. Just duct tape to control my whining (and frequently squirting boobs).
Oh, and join the other challenge, for Pete's sake! Since it's the "men's" challenge and they don't ramble on like us gals, it shouldn't take up much time at all.
Now I'm going back to snuggle up with Girth Control and have some more giggling pleasure. |

Keep me updated on the book, Diane. That is one on my mental list to read.

Diane,
Which Girth Control is this? I checked amazon but only came up with Amazon.com: GIRTH CONTROL For Womanly Beauty, Manly Strength, Health and a Long Life for Everybody: Henry t. Finck: Books (from 1923)
or
Amazon.com: Girth control. (using stun belts to control prisoners): An article from: Security Management: Michael Gips: Books
???Maybe this is a parenting book instead of a weight loss book, in which the second option would make perfect sense!
Glad the sea bands are working for you--I got them for carsickness but they didn't do a thing. BTW, I only have 4 kids (and homeschool too) but all my friends think the same thing, that we have some misunderstanding of birth control, or have some fundamental aversion to it. My first son was conceived while my dh was in the military out in the field for ONE day only, and all the others were ?surprises?. Our dr told us if Shawn's shoe was in the same room with me I'd end up pregnant...  (I don't even want to think about the logistics of that )
Oh I get it, you're not reading Girth Control, that was a typo--it's BIRTH CONTROL!!!! (A little late?!)

Yep, Alan Aragon's book that Lisa linked.
Sea Bands are not working miracles today. Back to trying to remain motionless and keeping a puke bucket with me constantly. Bleh.

It may not help but while crossing the Atlantic in pretty rough seas I found that ginger capsules settled a slightly touchy stomach. |

Like this, when my stomach is upset I eat candied ginger. I'm not sure if that's a taste you could stand right now, but it does help. |

Hope you're feeling better ... for me, I found that I had to have food in my stomach all the time ... so I ate like every hour, really small amounts.

That's just no fun to be sick so much. It does get more bearable to know that so many women suffer through this. I'm surprised though it gets only little attention. If men felt that way established medicin would have found a solution to it already.
Would you recommend Girth Control to others? What makes it good enough to buy?

Ah - some other Fertile Myrtles here. My brother had to try for 10 years before getting one kid, I get them by accident. I know I can use birthcontrol, I did for 9 years successfully. I still wonder where #3 came from.
Here is what I am getting done, as soon as the daycare bills stop and we can get a decent savings account:
Essure - Permanent Birth Control by Conceptus
I just don't trust the vasesctomy.
Wish you were feeling better. You must have the morning sickness I never got. Didn't even know I was pregnant for most of the first trimester.
