Mommy Knows Best/Post-Partum Appt

My mom came to visit today so I could go to my post-partum appointment baby-free (which went really well - yay!).  When she had been here the last few weeks, she was always able to calm the baby much more quickly and effectively than I could, but today, I was the one who knew what he wanted when he was being fussy, and even saved her from a potential poop attack.  I felt a little bad because she seemed a bit sad that he wouldn't respond as well to her as he has been (she still got him to sleep in no time flat), but it felt so good that I could read him well enough to know what he wanted when she didn't - and be right!  Go me!  As an added bonus, Mom held the baby while he napped so I got a solid 2.5 hour nap.  It was amazing!

As for my post-partum appointment, everything looked good and was healing correctly, I got a prescription for the mini-pill to start next week, and was cleared to start working out in about three more weeks.  I go back in about four weeks for my yearly exam and to check my thyroid levels to determine if I can discontinue my medication.  The only negative was the second I got my exam gown on, I started leaking like crazy.  LOL.  But all in all, a successful visit!

Glad your appointment went well, and you got a much needed nap!

I definitely wish my mom lived here these days!  The week she was here was so nice.  Glad you had a good appt and got in a solid nap!
