I had my six week check up. Everything is good. I am free to do what I want. Who knows what that means at this point. I think what I would like to do most is have a full nights sleep. But alas I don't see that happening anytime.
Now for the interesting part. One, my numb area that I am having above my c-section scar, well let's just say that it may never not be numb. Hi, I thought someone might have told me about that weird little fact. Bad blog readers who have had c-sections, you should have warned me. Next little fact, the chances of us having a repeat of this pregnancy with another, 50% chance. We already knew this, but I was secretly hoping for a different answer. It was scary this time around, but maybe knowing what may happen will make whatever happens, if it happens, the next time around will be a little easier to handle. (I seriously doubt that, but my naive little brain wants to believe that thought.)
The 50% chance answer makes the more children discussion a bit more difficult. Do we want to go through this scare again? Is there anything that we can do differently next time, if there is a next time? Plus a lot of other questions. I don't think either of us plan on having more kids in the next 2 or even 3 years. If, BIG IF, we do this again I can see it being closer to 5 years from now. So, we will hold off on the negotiations, if there are any, for at least 4 years.
On a different note, I want to send out some love and good thoughts to my wonderful friends J&S. J is having a procedure done today, and we are looking for everything to go smoothly and for there to be good results. Love you both!

interesting about the scar, cimi should have told you, after my hysterectomy for a long time it was numb above that scar and everynow and was just weird. only children are ok, but 1 other sibling would be great, think about it.
yeah, both Steph & I are still numb around our section scar... weird. But then, I also have numb spots on my hip from where I got injections every day during the first trimester!!! gyfxhb vtbvfefcef5rf <--- that little bit of text was from Mr. B, asking for new pictures of J!!!
I was numb there for a while too, but it is fine now. Every now and then when Hunter jabs where my incision was made I get a sharp pain. Girl, you should try doing some sit ups :-) To me the recovery of getting back to "normal" was tough. I remember trying to do this work out video a couple of months after the c-sec and I seriously could not do some of stomach exercises.
Whatever you do, ease yourself back into it. I think it was Aunt Sheree who told me that it took 9 months for your body to get that way, so it should take some time to get back to your old self.
Ed and I often speak of having another child. We will wait til Hunter is older. There is no way we could afford 2 children in full time daycare. That's like 3 mortgage payments!!!! Plus I am not so sure I can do the c-section thing again so soon. If I remember correctly, I warned you about the c-section. My stomach is turning right now just thinking about it all. bahhhhhhhh
