0 Weeks Pregnant

My first post-partum belly pic. Looks an awful lot like my 20 week pic, doesn’t it?

I’ve been getting lots of requests for an update. As you can imagine, things are very hectic around here. So here’s my update in list form:

• Yes, I have gone to the bathroom multiple times without incident. I did not have any tearing or stitches, so it hasn’t been an issue.
• The girls are doing awesome. We’ve had to supplement with formula because they lost over 11% of their body weight within two days, but they’re doing great.
• Nursing is going well, though it is a challenge. Luckily, I had a militant crazy nurse on my last day who set me straight and showed me how to REALLY nurse. She saved my ass, seriously.
• I miss being pregnant. A lot. I have seriously lost my shit on several occasions and I hope I can keep my head about me. Longer post on that to follow.
• My pelvis still hurts like hell.
• I still waddle and my back and hips haven’t figured out what to do with a heavy but empty uterus yet.
• I can reach all parts of my legs now.
• I can sit upright on the toilet like a normal person.
• My house is a fucking disaster.
• I am jaundiced and have a tough time staying on my feet for very long because my iron’s low.
• My legs have shrunk down from their tree trunk-like state, but my feet are still really swollen.
• Someone told me that when you have a baby, you go to the hospital with a husband and leave with an idiot. I feel sorry for them. Chris has been nothing less than totally amazing. Thank you, babe. Over and over. Thank you.
• I am curious about the state of my vagina, but am too scared to look.

I’m sure there’s more. If you have specific questions, leave a comment!
