I Blame it on the Drugs

Does anyone know that song that was popular around the early 2000's "I do it for the druuugggss, I do it just to feel alliiivveee!" Ok, totally inappropriate but very relatable.  NO I am not turning to drugs (although I did say to Gunnar last week how amazed I was about myself for NOT turning to drugs when Britta throws her many-a-day hissy fits)




 Back to the drug relation.... 


As some of you might know we are trying to get pregnant with #2 (sometimes I do wonder why) and have been for almost a year. I was hesitant to go to my regular OB because that meant, "yup, I want a baby NOW!" so I decided to try an alternative method. When I say alternative I mean natural path and acupuncture. As it turns out she was a hippie, green loving, tree hugging psycho path that told me all the horrible toxins I am putting into my body and that plastic is going to prevent me from getting pregnant and I left with nothing so $175 later I called the OB and choose drugs over a vegan-green lifestyle. 


This is where the drugs relate; promise.


Leaving the OB I had a 3 month supply of Clomid and a 6 month supply of Metformin. Both, very common for trying to get pregnant. Our plan of action? Take Metformin (a diabetic drug that somehow and miraculously regulates) for a few months, then take Clomid (the supposably "wonder drug" that propagates twins, triplets ect... yay.) 


I have been taking Metformin for about 2+ weeks and no real side effects except I'd like to blame my non-motivation, mood swings, sleepiness and overall crazies.  None of these were listed as side effects of Metformin. Most of them are probably due to having a very active and strong-willed 2 yr old of the likes no one has ever seen BUT....


I Blame it on the Drugs!
It makes life a little easier that way AND I want another baby so the drugs make it all worth it. 
When I think of having another baby
This is what comes to mind
I wouldn't want it any other way :)
