I Am Not Pregnant Anymore

I was commenting to Mike this morning that my mind and body are not in sync with not being pregnant anymore. I often find myself thinking, I shouldn't be doing this and then stop myself and ask "why"? I am not pregnant anymore and am not trying to "cook" Noah anymore. I am pretty much healed up from the c-section too. I have the occasional pain here and there and if I move a weird way or do something a certain way, but the path to recovery is to move forward with life.

Things that have changed...

I no longer need to have tums with me at all times.

I don't have to use Vics Vapor Rub like it is going out of style. (I had major stuffy nose at the end of my pregnancy and that was the only thing that helped me breathe)

I can drink more than one cup of coffee in the morning and not feel sick.

I can eat breakfast any time in the morning vs having to eat right when I woke up.

I can have a glass of wine.

I can clean the house and do laundry and not feel like I am "doing too much".

I can clean the shower now,( Mike wouldn't let me because he didn't want me inhaling the chemicals in a confined space) even though I have yet to do it.

I can get up off the floor without Mike's help.

I can drink a whole lot of water and not have to pee 50 million times in an hour.

I only go to the bathroom once, maybe twice in the middle of the night vs once an hour. I now wake up to feed or settle my "little Noah".

I can wear some of my early pregnancy clothes and not have to worry about my belly hanging out of the bottom. (As many of you saw, I had a basketball growing out at the stomach area and most of my shirts from my early pregnancy wouldn't go down far enough to cover my entire belly).

These are just a few of the things that have not caught up with my brain yet. It is very bizarre. I don't remember feeling this way with Ava, but then again, I don't remember a lot about how I felt when I had
Ava or maybe I would never have had another one. They don't call it pregnancy brain for nothing. It is how nature intended for us to have more than one child!
