Times Are Changing

Things I didn't plan on when having a baby:

• my wonderful jelly filled excuse for a stomach/ gut flap decorated beautifully with an intricate design of custom made stretch marks.
• breast feeding in exotic locales such as the parking lot of Dollarama, the parking lot of my school, restaurants, while I eat supper and the coolest of the cool, almost in Wal-Mart.
• having a mock period for over three weeks.
• wearing mesh panties for the first 5 days after giving birth and enjoying it. The first day we came home, I was sore and I was boiling hot so I walked around the house wearing nothing but my lovely mesh undies that reached up to under my boobs-Iain was really impressed by my new motherhood sense of style.
• waking up in the hospital to someone spraying some sort of liquid on my butt to clean it and not being embarrassed.
• waking up in the hospital to a nurse asking you to roll over and then sticking her finger up your ass to place a painkiller there (any reason why I couldn't have swallowed this?) and not caring slightly.
• needing to wear 2 gigantic Sasquatch sized maxi pads plus a folded pad the size of a piece of bristol board.
• how tiring it can be when your baby fake falls asleep 14 times in a row.
• how insanely exhausting it is NEVER being away from your baby due to breastfeeding.
• how weird pumping is.
• thinking you are sweating profusely then realizing you are dripping profusely.

I could go on, but I feel better now.
