Another thing that's different--for me anyway--is that the rejection of your child stings less the second time around. I'm not quite sure why that is, other than the fact that after five years it seemed perfectly normal and reasonable that I would have that baby on my own. And if I'm being truly honest, I'll admit that by this time, I preferred things that way for a variety of reasons and was a little relieved when The Pirate, as I affectionately call this man, chose not to be a part of the picture.

So, yes, it is funny how life throws birth control at us. But it's downright hilarious when it turns out to be a curve ball that sneaks its way over the plate. That's why, even though I consider myself to have a pretty healthy sense of humour, I'm not ready to commit to Mirena just yet. The Zen Baby has an imaginary baby sister, you see.
